    TODAYS SEAT TIME

    Hit 80 hours on the Kubota this weekend (I got it at 32 hours). My mother swears we're taking down trees one limb at a time. One of the maples out front shed an oversized limb from all the rain (And the late, heavy snow probably didn't help earlier this year) I've said it before, and I'll say...

    Grappling fun - A Picture Thread....

    Ah, finally this thread surfaces again! After using my Landpride SGC0660, I'll never be without a FEL and grapple again! It makes taking down trees and limbs a trivial undertaking. Only negative I have to say about it is that the grease zerks came out when I tried to grease it. No biggie...

    Tractors and wood! Show your pics

    Finally took down the ugly half-dead tree on the corner of the orchard (I haven't the slightest idea what it was, all I know is it was a broad leaf something) . Don't have any pictures as my buddy and I were in a rush however there was a serious appreciation of the grapple. Several times I would...

    You Know You Are Old When

    Friends and I were playing a card game with my parents. One of the cards was "Give us your best hog call." My friend made a game attempt, but compared to my mother who called hogs...I think the entire neighborhood heard her. Grandmother used a housebell to summon her kids, and later the...

    EA grapple not an option now what?

    I wish, on both accounts. That being said, it did give the hair I have left a certain luster and aroma.

    It isn't? So I've been smearing hydro oil on my forehead for no reason?!?

    An ex of my friend used to work at that Krispy Kreme...I maybe gained thirty pounds before they broke up. :ROFLMAO:

    Tractors and wood! Show your pics

    Played Hooky this past Friday to head up north to help my campground-owning friend cut up some trees that had fallen. 500i got a good workout. The best part was this was just a dice-up job, didn't get involved in moving the wood as he needed something to do this week. An ex-camper had...

    Do you ever get it all figured out or mostly figured out?

    "Man plans, God laughs." I keep that thought in the back of my head every day I get up. I'm on track to get to a place that I believe will last me for the rest of my natural days. I've acquired the equipment and am now working on the place. Every day gets me a little closer. The place might...

    My first John Deere

    Apologies for the thread drift, but I was just looking at Trimax and I'm curious what you think of it? I mow quite a bit with a ZT and would like something to cover the more open areas with my tractor or am I overcomplicating things?

    Life on the farm

    What an incredible thread! 10/10 pictures and research. Currently eating some of my grandmother's beef potpie, the kind of country cooking that will soon only be a memory. The sit around for half an hour afterwards and then "Well, let's get back to work!" meal. This thread has been a superb...

    You Know You Are Old When

    "Go buy your grandpa a pack of marlboros, tell'em I says it's okay!" Crazy thing is that worked. Of course, if I had tried that without the OK I would have gotten the literal short end of the stick! Word always would get back.

    Easy fellas, There's no reason to be hostile here. Let's take it down a couple notches before we get this thread locked.

    I like your backup mirror. Where did you happen to get one? Despite being a younger guy, my neck is still stiff from all the snowplowing lately. Thanks in advance!
