I live in the city
I stumbled onto this Forum quite by accident while doing a Google search, and was absolutely fascinated by a thread I found here on building a mini dozer. Unfortunately I live on a small suburban block, and even a small lawn tractor here would crowd me out.

My only experience with tractors and tracked vehicles was in the Antarctic where I was involved with maintaining radio communications on two separate year long expeditions. So I have driven and been around, tractors a little bit, but am by no means any kind of expert.

I have a home workshop with lathe, mill, mig welder and all the usual stuff, and really enjoy a bit of metal fabrication and mechanical engineering in general. So some of what you guys are doing is of absorbing interest .

Cheers,
Tony.

Welcome Warp Howdy from Texas! Bit of a machinist myself. Many here don't have tractors.

We have many from down under, NZ and Taz here.

I'm guessing you are still having summer heat down there.
