crbr, where did you see my barn?
LOL... You don't see it?

:D

Indeed it was OH's barn that caught my eye.


I do like your Yanmar though. A nice setup.

Here's what I plan to tow around with my tractor set-up. I landed this 1953 US military trailer a couple of weeks ago for $150. It's not pretty but it's rock solid so I think a bit of sand blasting, and priming/painting, ought to do the trick.

I can foresee a lot of gravel, sand, and rock towing in its future....

gcp I am glad the bumper is going to work for you. Looks real nice on your tractor. Those chrome balls really throw off a reflection. My old barn is a little over 100 yrs old. It was about four hundred feet west of where it is now. The man that owned the farm lost some hogs to high water. So they jacked up the barn and put beams under it, then hooked up all mule teams from the area and moved it to where it is now. And I can't do anything if I don't have some machine around. Gcp if you have any hills you could put some lead in the bumper and help the front end stay on ground. A man I work with did that to a similar bumper (no hitch) and it helped him on hills. My place is flat flat. big dan

Shoot, I saw the big barn, drinks on the new platform, the bridge, the other tractor, the big tires you were loading to move somewhere, and even the nice fishing boat in the reflection of that chrome ball.

Nice bridge you are building there by the way.

Oh yea, there is also that big back hoe forking that one area over there. :D

Great job!
