Views from the Operator's Seat

[jjp8182]

Every once in a while there's a view from the tractor seat that's just worth pausing to take a picture.

Attached are a few of mine: the first was using pallet forks to move brush that had been hand loaded onto the tines. That one project of tree trimming was enough work (in hot enough weather) that I bought the 66" EA Wicked grapple I've been using ever since. More recently I picked up a Danuser Intimidator to pull out small trees and whatever else that gets in the way that I can get out with my L3560.... there's just something about being able to pull out unwanted trees like they were overgrown weeds that just puts a smile on my face

...and sharing them is also informative since it gives others an idea of what it looks like sitting in operator's seat of a given tractor (or any other piece of heavy equipment). ...of course it may also cause non-tractor owners to become tractor owners so please share cautiously

I recognize that view! I spent many hours looking over the hood of my previous L3410. That was a great series tractor.

My view of our blizzard of 2015... for 3 days I was the only machine on the road in our neighborhood.

Really cool idea of sharing operator'r view pictures.

Here is mine from a couple months ago while I was mowing some tall stuff:



Shortly after I had to clear the radiator screen:

spreading some new gravel in one of the driveways about 3 years ago.

back when we first got the 861D in 2014.

Reclaiming some land that was in CRP for 20 years. Those poor trees don't know that a flail is coming for them...

I have many memories behind the wheel (or sticks of my skidloader) that I wish I would have taken a picture of.

A couple weeks ago at hunt camp. Before the chainsaw opened it up, removing some snow loaded trees.


After a bush hog pass.

Mowing the grass at my father in laws place yesterday. 4 acres in 3.5 hours.

It was wet with some areas approaching a foot of standing water, but luckily the ground under the water was still somewhat firm. In the spring I have to go around these wetland areas until they dry up in mid summer.

Here is a 5 minute ride out into the woods to dump a load of gravel like this in a mud hole on a new tractor road.

Ready for this time of the year again! It’s coming!

That flail mower does a good jog bkrgi !

Winching in a scraggy old maple from the middle. Leaders on the left, butt on the right and a picture from behind too.

Moving rocks at the Forest Service campground, volunteer project. Only about 3 miles so I just road it over there.

Our aspen peaked in the last couple days. Today is getting windy so it's all downhill toward winter from here.

 

[Steppenwolfe]

Finally dried out here long enough to mow one of my meadows and clean up some paths.
