I'll also recommend a Sthil MS260 with a 24” bar. 24 “ bar is for the taller users out there. I’m 6’4” and told old to be bending over all the time.

This is my special tool for tightening the camlock. Helps get the chains real tight.

Just a trick for when your are putting chains on the tires for the first time to get them fitted. Take and jack the rear tires off the ground so that both tires are off the ground. It makes it a lot easier to get the chains fitted to the tires because you can turn the tires to get them fitted tight.

I did get a tire trough the culvert so all i needed to do keep pulling the spool through the culvert to get the dirt and gravel out. It was a multi step process. First was to get a rope tru then use the rope to pull the chain through, the pull the tire trough. Then look in side the culvert to...

Working on the plugged culvert problem again. Boy did I eat an extra big bowel of stupid “O”s for breakfast today. Got the tractor stuck trying to clear the problem culvert. Just cannot win sometimes.

This culvert at one time had a family of skunks living in it. Threw a handful on mothballs in the culvert to make them leave. Attack stinky with a stinky works all the time. 🤣

I did get a tire through the culvert without any problem using a chain and a tagline rope. The tire just wouldn’t clear the sand and gravel

I tried calling the fire department and they gave ma a firm “NO”. I think they have been called about this way to many of a time lately.

Due to some extreme rain with flooding I have some 16” culverts that need to be cleaned out. They are full of debris and a lot of fine sand a gravel. I tried the trick of pulling a tire through the culvert with limited success. The tire cleared the debris put little of the sand and gravel. From...

Old age and extreme weather dictated that I get a cab. After many Winters sitting on a tractor with no cab plowing snow I finally got a tractor with a cab. I went from this… To this….
