Picture Time

It has taken some time to get the tractor down to the lake front due to the amount of trees and terrain. I have spent a fair amount of time clearing out juniper bushes, large rocks, and trees to get the tractor down to this part of the property. In celebration I took a picture and because I know everyone likes pictures on the forum.....I decided to share.

Awesome tractor. I love the grapple/backhoe setup. You are well equipped to get the job done.

Beautiful looking rig, thanks for the picture... Mind you, it does look to be suspiciously CLEAN!

I know.....I sprayed it with fluid film. It also only has 35 hours on it and I don't have any fields just forest. It would be nice to have a field to cut.....I find I am always in low gear dodging trees, going up or down hills or battling stumps.

As the weather cools down it will start getting a lot more work with firewood season coming. I'm looking forward to using my new wood splitter.

Nice, that grapple would be real-handy here in Oregon during the fall salmon run..........

Hi Kryton,

It looks and sounds like you have the right rig for your terrain and property type!

It looks solid and awesome!

Does your screen name mean that you are a Red Dwarf aficianado?

If so, then nice smeggin tractor/skutter, or is it a Red Starbug, Lt. Smeghead!?

If not, forget I said anything.

Mr. Trask,

Too funny, also I love your signature!

Seriously, a pal of mine was wondering which brand-name and model# is attached to the grapple; so if it isn't an imposition......

I never heard of that preservative, so thanks for that; I might try it.

It looks like I could attach lures to the end of each fork....

Thanks in advance.

Caricatures; ah yes, the good ole home-brewed political cartoon technique. "I'm freezing" "I walked for ever......" "Sergeant, I can't feel my feet". "We need to take care of the middle class".
