There's a guy who lives a couple miles up the highway from us who has a couple of restored Farmalls he runs in parades. One he painted pink, and his young daughter drives it in the parades.

I have a Harbor freight 8700 watt gen out in one of my outbuildings for back up, I've got the outbuilding wired to the house so all I have to do is plug it into an outlet out there and start it up, pretty simple really. (and turn off the main breaker o the house as to not electrocute the power guys working on the lines)

Yeah, califiornia has just gotten too stupid for their own good!

I keep mine in the basement with a battery tender, when I start it I just pull it outside and let it idle while I go to the power pole and shut main power off then I walk back to generator and plug It in then walk back to the pole and push the switch down for gen power, was not a big thing when I was younger and healthy but now being disabled it’s a bit of a challenge.

I have the exhaust on mine vented through the wall so it stays inside while its running. If we have a big storm coming and I think we might lose power, I just plug it in in advance, and turn off that particular breaker.. If I end up needing it I just have to hit the start button, flip that breaker and I'm good to go.

So, Dragoneggs did you buy your wife the pink tractor?
Seat time for me around here:
I am testing out the new Mahindra some more, and moving some more of my gravel around. I covered the floor of the pole barn the other day, put a new layer out front of my storage building.
I hooked up the 3 point blade I have used for many years behind the Ferguson, a bit of added counterweight, and helpful in leveling the gravel.
The Ranger in the background has been earning her keep, hauled off brush for a friend on Friday, hauled some for our elder son Saturday and Sunday (after church service).
I have had the burn pile going a lot!

We built a road to the 500 yard rifle range at the local sportsman club and significantly improved the berm today and yesterday. View attachment 621384View attachment 621385View attachment 621386View attachment 621387

Wow that sounds like 1500 ft, what you got that shoots that far, Sharps? I'm lucky if I have 150 ft to shoot in, to many hills and tree obstructions.

I used to shoot 4" steel plates at 250 yards with a handgun.. I'm just setting up a 300 and new 100 yard range..

No... I explained to her it wasn't safe on our hill without ROPS. She is always worried that I will roll my orange one.

Sounds like you would be surprised how stable a Ford N is.
Open up the track & they will almost drive around the side of a silo.

That's good shooting, I can hit a milk jug at 25 ft with my 45 colt revolver. Wheres the pictures of your range set-up? I thought when someone makes a shooting range you need a bulldozer to make high berms or banks to catch the bullets.

I probably would be... I was only kidding though since she gives me such a hard time. She didn't really want it but she did think it was cute.

I am pretty sure that N is more stable than my BX even with 2in wheel spacers. Also pretty sure my neighbor buddies would make me turn in my man card if I brought it home... in fact I would voluntarily turn it in and likely submit to a psych eval. :laughing:

You would just need to make two signs... "His" and "Hers".

Recently I posted about a pink Tigercat timber harvester Pink Tigercat 822C Feller Buncher On Display | Timberline Magazine.

I doubt that anybody has asked the owner or the operator to give up their man card. Granted, it's for a worthy cause. :thumbsup:

I have my own shooting range, I just used the loader to pile up dirt to shoot into.

The range is for the local gun club. I’ve played around it that distance but I haven’t done much experimenting at that distance.

We had a Dozer on that job but I could do just as high or higher with the backhoe. I piled the highest peak on that one with the backhoe. And that’s like 15 feet high which is more than most home ranges. If we weren’t out of time and dirt and I had my 36” bucket I could have setup with the backhoe and had the dozer pushing me dirt and piled it as high as you wanted.

My seat time today, was a lot of this,

So I needed to disassemble a burn pile that had a lot of dirt in it. I used that material to make my berms, and yes, many trips with my loader... I only wish I had a dozer to play with.

Heres the burn pile I was working on..


And here is the 300 yard berm down at the end of a field.


And the berm at 100 yards, if you could enlarge this you could see the 300 yarder off to the left at the end of the field


Here is the burnpile gone, the 300 yd berm is down at the far end of this field the 100 yard berm is about even with where I took the pic off to the right


And here is a pic from up in one of my deer stands looking back up that field, you can see the burnpile site up there, and the 300yd berm is about even with this stand off to the left.


And if only I could get the pics upright!! I've tried everything!!
