Very beautiful countryside there. What are normal high temps in summer and normal lows in winter there ?

Thank goodness for the conversion app on the smart phone. I never could remember how to do the Celsius to Fahrenheit conversion with negative temps!

interesting 3pt hitch thing ya got there, legs, winch, hooks for chains, looks like old cutting edge for a FEL bucket or something to hook some chains in at bottom. A shape plate to keep logs from coming back into the tires / 3pt hitch.

did ya just use what ya had and weld that all together? or is a bigger piece from something?

*looks jealous* big old spool for the cable. ability to chain a few trees easily to back end, safety pull rope to get out of distance if cable breaks while winching. extra spots for holding chain / cables / chokes. drop legs to keep the machine from pulling backwards / down a hill *drools*

Its a very handy tool for firewood hunting
