    Tractors and wood! Show your pics

    I have one too!! Just be careful throwing splits in when it's really cold. The plastic tub gets brittle and can crack with a heavy hit. The dump feature is nice too!

    Firewood pallet

    Might have been me... I was looking at what others on the forum were doing with firewood and did not see any racks made this way. The stone quarries use a similar setup, although it's smaller to handle large flat stone. I thought I'd modify it for firewood. Just add a couple of 2x4's to a...

    Aux power electrical connectors

    Be sure to test the bullet connections for power before you do anything. With my headlights on they have no power showing there is a work light fuse showing in manual pic but the 2025 fuse box is different without space for it.

    Tractors and wood! Show your pics

    Not a fan of stacking. Once I got my tractor things changed. I can't afford the metal totes ( $100.00 here) so I make mine out of wood pallets 42 x42. Almost all red oak. 3 pallets make a cord. I try to stack them 2 high. I can't lift a full one ( freshly split and green weighs 1630lbs) to the...

    Bobcat CT2025

    I had a ford 1920 for years and it could lift and curl the same wood skids effortlessly. When I tested the bobcat I thought I was doing something wrong and it would get better. NOPE! The Bobcat is still a really nice machine but the loader functions are flawed!

    Post #23 mentions WR Long. They are the best and custom make the quick attach to fit your tractor model. I did this with my old Ford 1920 and they were great to work with! Remove your old bucket and pin on new quick attach bracket to the loader arms. You do need to cut the tabs off the bucket...

    Building firewood rack from pallets

    I've been using pallets like this for 10 years or so. The first pallet racks I made were built so I could take them apart and break them down flat as I used the wood. I still have the first ones I built this way and they work well but are too much work and cost to keep making. Can't beat pallet...
