Rediculous uses of tractors

[oldgeezer]

I do retrieve deer from the woods & then I skin my deer with mine. I just lift him by the horns with the bucket, make the necessary cuts in the hide (ring the neck, legs, slit the belly hide, slit the legs & match up all the slits), let him back down, put a round rock in the hide at the neck, put a rope around the rock, tie it up short to the front axle, slowly lift the bucket back up & off comes the hide slick as a button & no hair on the meat. Don't know if it's rediculous or not, but I haven't seen anyone else doing it & it is a one man job. My wife is hard to get to skin my deer since she passed 60. She barely will clean fish. I haven't figured a way to filet fish with the tractor yet, Anyone else??/

Maybe you could use the Bro-Tek ripper tooth?

I had one particular coffee maker (Black and Decker Space Saver, version 1) for many years before I had to replace it. (Found a jellyfish in it somehow - I have no clue...) Since getting rid of that, I've had to get a new coffee maker about every 6 months for varying reasons, i.e. poor carafe design that spills, internal leakage, unexplainable failures, etc. So, now when one fails, I take it out and crush it between my BH bucket and thumb. It makes me feel just a tad bit better about the fact that I'm on my way out to buy yet another freaking coffee maker.

That sound like fun. I might just go to Garage Sales and pick some up.

I had considered using my loader last week to do just that to my Cuisinart Grind and Brew then send it back to the manufacturer. Ridiculous use of tractor? Nah, therapy. Unfortunately the wife stuck it in the trash before I had the chance, now I'm feeling I missed out....too bad I threw out the old TV! We used to throw bricks at them as teens to watch them implode, a tractor might not be as fun but hey gettin older so it would be less strenuous.

For what it's worth, my new Krups grind and brew KM7000 works great, no ridiculous cleaning, and it does not randomly turn itself off/on like the Cuisinart was from moisture corrosion on the circuit board from what I could tell.

My neighbor's fence post broke so he took his 5000 ford tied a rope to it to hold it up." FOR 8 MO." When I was a drinking man I would use my John Deere to go to town. Saved alot of DUI. Lee

ROPS serve as a towl bar when tractor is not being used!

rediculous or well thought out and practical? my property is about 50 yards
away from the 4th tee box of a golf club that i belong to. to get to the golf course, i can get in my auto and drive about 1.5 miles OR walk off the back of my property, onto my neighbors' for the remaing 50 yds / golf club property & the joy and happiness of the teebox and golf course.
am about to ask the neighbor if i might be able to purchase a right of way along our cojoining property lines? then i'd attach a lanscape rake to the rear hitch and clear out the remaining brush/debris/limbs and deere restaurant material (a great use of 4wheel drive).
then it would be as simple as placing the orange dot ping golf clubs on the rear carryall of my baby, beautifully and vividly orange bx1850. i don't know
how long it would be before i'd get some flak for parking on the club property adjacent to the equipment shed and 4 th tee . . . but, i'm a corporate member/owner . . . still dreaming . . . still healing my foot. robert a.

I know of a fella who got a DUI on a combine! ( It was a John Deere )

I drive mine up and down the street to make my neighbors jealous.

I have now read 9 pages of this thread and haven't seen a single one I would call ridiculous. Creative, therapeutic, entertaining, to be sure, but hardly ridiculous.

At least that's my story, and I'm sticking to it. Now you'll have to excuse me because I need to go place my beverage in the cup holder on my tractor, whilst I sit on it and admire what one can do with a simple tractor - and some carefully selected implements.

That's a good one. I see you are from ILL. That's were I was. Lee

If I did that in North Dakota they'd laugh at me and wonder what it was going to be when it grew up.

I like that one. That wouldn't really work much where I live, since I often see a Case 580, a 3000-series Deere (I think), an L-series Kubota, and quite a few big old IH farm tractors driving up and down my road. I only drive my BX at night.

I've only had my tractor one day, but I quickly discovered I can use it to get my wife in the mood. If you know what I mean.

 

[skargo]

OK, an hour or so ago I put the push mower in the bucket, and fired it up. As I passed my wife, she gave me the "you're a goofy sonofagun" look. I took it up to the mailbox so I could clean up the area for our carrier.

Yeah, she should talk, she was sitting in a little plastic kiddie pool in the middle of our driveway

 

[lunbrjck]

I usually dump the cat litter pans in the bucket then drive up on the hill and dump the litter on a dirt pile I have been building. Saves on garbage bags.

 

[billbill1]

No Dirk, I really don't know what you mean!!

Ridiculous may not be the perfect word, but here is what I did last March.

The part that I love is that he left the snowblower on the back as ballast and there is tons of snow outside. That man wants his garage up ASAP...d@mn the weather!
