Re: Three Castor Storage Dolly

Made a three castor storage dolly for the three point adapter. This one is an old 2x12.


The adapter with the Omni Transformer Hitch for a three point.

Replaced the pictures that disappeared from Post #39.

Used the tree puller on the biggest cedar tree that I have tried to pull so far. It is about 5" in diameter.

Raised the rear end when I tried to pull it straight up, so I curled down while pulling up and moving forward. That broke some roots loose. You can see the crack in the ground.



Curled up while pulling up and moving backwards. That broke some roots on the other side.


Went forward again and it started coming up.


Raised the boom, the cedar came out of the ground and brought another tree with it!


Shook the dirt off of the roots and the other tree fell to the ground.

It looks to be about 3" in diameter.

1 pull, 2 trees!

The missing pictures are still in this thread:

Tree Puller?

Made a three castor dolly for the tree puller. Now I can keep it inside and roll it to the back door to hook it up. The tree puller weighs 284 lbs.

The problem, concrete around a broken wood post.


The solution, the Gorilla Grapple.


And the V417


The new problem, a big hole in the pasture.


The solution, the stump bucket also hauls dirt.


Pack it down, no problem

looks like you are having too much fun with the tele.
My dealer tried real hard to steer me clear of a 417 though I felt it would fit my business perfectly especially when handling the big oaks. How's yours holding up?

So far, so good. :thumbsup: Had to adjust the tension on the main drive belt last week.

It will be 4 years old the end of September, only 748 hours on it, so not using it as much now as when we first moved here.

It is a GADA machine! (Go Anywhere, Do Anything)

This double trunk cedar was cut with a skid steer tree cutter long before we bought this place.

Look for the dead trunks in the first picture. Hooked a chain to each one.


Raised the boom and backed up.


Picked them up and dropped them on the pile.


Compressed the pile, notice that the front wheels are off the ground.


The tree cutter wasn't big enough to completely cut one of the trunks, that is why it is green on top.

Removing The Cracked Concrete At The Barn

A project from last June. The barn porch concrete had low spots and major cracks.


Braced the truss so I could cut off and remove the support posts.


The slab is only 3 inches thick and no sand under it. Used the Gorilla Grapple to pick it up and the dumper to haul it off.



Ready for the concrete guys.

A Compact Track Loaderr or Multi-Terrain Loader, especially the 2-speed varaints, will do everything you do with your telehandler except the high lifts quicker, cleaner and more efficently and cost a lot less. I've never gotten a CTL stuck even driving over freshly dumped snow piles.

Well it is a free Website and you are entitled to your opinion even if it is wrong in my opinion.

I don't know what your opinion is based on, but mine is based on using both types of loaders and I gladly paid for the extra versatility.

I have used a Bobcat T300 CTL with my one cubic yard bucket, in the same shale pit as my V417 and the CTL didn't do as well or as quickly.

I don't think any CTL could have removed the silt from this pond like the V518 Compact Telehandler did.
