With so many to choose from, is that your own personal tractor? I know you're a dealer. You didn't say which model it is.

I just bought a frostBite grapple for mine, I haven't really had a chance to try it out yet... But I'm sure its going to be better than using the forks to move logs around.

My 3616 HST with an EA Wicked Grapple - best thing for logs since the log splitter...

Should least be worthy of one of them thar young scantily clad good lookin' females leaning over/sitting on/or wiggling something.... one of the controls, get your mind out of the gutter. !!!!!!!

It hadn't been doing much that day, just being used as my wheelbarrow, but I've worked the heck out of it since I've had it, and worked it hard. Just came back from digging out some 24 inch pine stumps, so big that I couldn't lift them out of the hole, with the hoe or the fel. I had to pinch a root with the thumb and work the levers as someone else drove the tractor away from the hole dragging the stump with us. During that outing, I scooped up some pea stone, lifted it too high and dumped a bunch of it on my hood, leaving a hundred or so pock marks on it. I've touched up the 'pocks' so they wont rust, but they look like heck. I've worked this thing too hard in many cases.

But she still is a pretty lady, even with the pock marks..

There you go again. Didn't Momma remind you about that kind of thoughts?

Yeah, it looks awful shiny for the work you do.

Remember what you said in Post #24?

Sad to say I haven't done anything for my tractor today, I've even left her out in the cold rain.... But that is only because her new winter home is under construction.....

I hope this doesn't make me a bad owner

:confused3:

I remember. That's exactly what I did.

Here's another project I got into. I ended up jack hammering the top of the rock off. Even the tough little red lady couldn't handle that job.

Glrret · Nov 3, 2016

WOW
:shocked:

I know you didn't pick that up with your tractor....

oldpilgrim · Nov 3, 2016

It's only 9 feet long, 4 feet wide and 4 feet thick. I estimated 32000 lbs. Can't your tractor lift something that big? The plan was to dig a hole next to it and roll it in. So much for great plans. That's when the jack hammer came into play.

Going to make a big pallet when it hatches......

another day older and deeper in debt,
Saint Peter don't call me cause I can't go,
I owe my sole to the company store...."

I was clearing rocks out of one of our hay fields this summer with my backhoe. Everything was fine until I found one that I could lift out of the hole. I ended up rocking it to one side of the hole and then used my hand shovel to fill in under the rock, then moved the rock to the other side of the hole and put more dirt under it. I did that several times until I could get the bucket under the edge of it and pushed it out of the hole... then it was a long slow push to the tree line.

An oldie goldie. I loved that song when I was a kid.

Another time to wish for the days when dynomite did so much work.
