the suburban is warming up, and I'm saved on the root ball. I had sent my tree guy a message, making sure he didn't have a job there, and oh yes he did, so that root ball is all his. He has much bigger, heavier equipment, lawn mats, etc. so I'm just going over to play. Need to run the tractor.
And that grapple, as cool as it is, and it is way cool, belongs on a 100hp M, not a 57hp L. One size too large for my tractor, too much weight up front.
But man is it indestructible. I like it so much I just might buy a bigger tractor when I move next year just to have more fun with it. Long makes nice attachments; their paint jobs aren't always the best, but boy do they give you the steel for your money. I just ordered their FEL mounted spade for the Kubota; I have several dozen small trees to transplant late march. I started with their subsoiler and was so impressed with it, that I ordered their grapple. And now their front tree scoop. Looks like a cool thing to dig up rocks with also. But I'm finding that running a two ton tractor sure has its limits. This grapple needs something with four tons attached to it and some serious hydraulics. Then...I could join in TxDon's grapple contest.

well everything is white out again, but this is nice light stuff. My steel toed work books have grippy soles, I should be good.
And I'm on good behavior...
It's all that bad behavior that got me where I am.

will take pics. later.

What's Diesel going for by you Drew? 4.49 here. Hope it goes back down I thought 3.73 was too much.

Diesel should never cost more than gasoline! Cold and snowing here, come on spring!

I'm really lucky, at 50 I have no cavities and still have all my wisdom teeth. That must be why I am so wise and hang out with you guys.:thumbsup::laughing:

Then tell me why I am here? I'm 67 and haven't got a tooth in my head and haven't had since 1970.

-5F here with 1-2" of snow coming.

Not sure if this is relevant, or if it explains why you cannot trap your nemesis, but opossums have more teeth than you.

"Opossums have 50 teeth, the most out of any North American mammal"

Including your wisdom teeth, you only have 32.

I only count 28 teeth in my backyard Texas possum. ??

Good morning 42˚, windy cloudy, Spring left.
I also got diesel yesterday @ $3.69 gal.. The 10 gallons will be good for 10 more hours of grappling, when it warms up.

Yep, I counted one side and there is 7 but I can't see the very front. Don can you ask Mr Possum for a better shot or maybe do xrays.

Will do…. stand by…..


There are front teeth hidden by his big lips.

Diesel is $1.35 a liter here, sure glad the Massey is good on fuel consumption.
