Pics form the L4400HST work today

I have been working the L4400HST a little, while off from Cristmas. I had to do it eventually but it still makes you want to pot a little I was pushing over some dead trees and on caused anothe to fall and it dinged my hood. oh well I am glad it was the hood and not my head. I have been working on some trails and I am up to about 2.5 miles though not all cleared the way that I would like. The pics are from an area that has not had a machine on it for about 40 years. For those who Question the power and ability just look what it did to this huge wild Cherry tree. That is my son and we were just clowning around. This is a ridge about 800 feet in elevation above my house. The HST really helps when working in the scary places and I rarely use the brakes. I used to have a IH424 Standard shift and it would make me really nervous changing gears or directions.

That's quite a tree for your tractor. Reminds me a bit of my property about 4 years ago but I didn't push any trees down that big.

Just joking about that tree, the wind blew it down. I have heard a lot about how weak the L4400 was and thought it would be a good joke.

Please forgive my spelling in the start of this thread. I dont pot when I get upset but sometimes I do pout (according to my wife). I couldnt resist the picture of the L4400 and the Cherry tree that fell from the wind.
