I purchased 80 acres of timbered property in Florida not long ago. Needed to open up some acreage for pasture and a site to build a new shop. Called in a logging company who got started a few weeks ago.
Friday the skidder operator stopped by when he was headed home and said that he had found a few implements in the woods and had used the skidder to bring them up and set them by the guest house. Here's what he found...
The first thing I saw an an A&B Eagle Line box blade. After some searching I can't find anything on it. Must be too old. It's a bit odd as it measures 76" form outside to outside on the end plates. It appear to be a light or medium duty version. Probably going to be too much for my YT235C but you never know. If it is I'll trade for a smaller unit.
The second thing I was pretty excited to see. A hay wagon frame. On a quick glance I think it's a Case but I could be wrong. Appears to be reasonably complete. No center pipe or tires and wheels but the hubs turn smoothly and the tongue steering is free and functions.
He said that there's also a 3-point gin pole out there but it's buried in the brush. Apparently he almost ran over it before he caught the flash of color and slammed on the brakes at the last second. He's going to drag that one out once they clear the brush and downed trees around it.
Almost like finding buried treasure for this old fart.
