Life on the farm

Is that a winch on the back of that little dozer?

Sure is, we pulled a lot of logs out with it. Even hooked cable up in trees and pulled them over.

I agree. Back in high school, my friend and his two brothers showed Holstein's and won major awards. All of their cows were ornery.

Is that dozer a 350? That would be a poop chute trap door.

1010 with gas engine. That thing tried to kill me but I loved running it.

I’d kill for a little (diesel) dozer like that with winch on back.

No tilt blade, manual angle. But dad more than paid for it selling timber we pulled out.
Course I also remember when the track would come off out in the woods and a lot of other work required on it.

My oldest brother running the dozer. I remember hanging beef off that tree limb when butchering.

Dad on the 8N. Mom wanted a board fence so dad built the fence back in the 70s, It's gone now.

This was a guy doing some work at the farm, I know they did some work on the pond dam.

All so cool!

Back when men were men and dozers were dozers. Nice picture Buckeye.

Does this thread make you realize how useful camera film is? Sure the picture quality isn’t there, but we lose track of so many cell phone pictures.

I’m **** about keeping my digital pictures backed up. I upload to my computer, date and label them. Then I back those up to another backup drive.

But nothing beats a physical picture.

This was our snow plow. When it got real deep we used the dozer. During the blizzard of 78 we used the dozer to open up the drifts in our road, and dug some of the neighbors out also.

No electronic picture can compare to holding a paper picture in your hand.

My folks bought this 80 acres from the original homesteader in '38. Dad had always planned on retiring here. He never made it to retirement age. Wife and I moved down from Alaska in '82. None of the old homestead buildings were still here then. I can remember them because as a kid we visited the old folks here often. He had a large garden and raised sheep and chickens.

This is a painting of one of the old homestead buildings.
