Rediculous uses of tractors

[dmacneil]

How 'bout as a sail? While servicing this tracker a micro-burst from small passing cloud cost me a pretty penny. Well, insurance actually eased the pain a bit.

Gotta ask.. what is that - ie. tracker for what?

Those floppy white sqare things used to be solar panels.
The tracker follows the sun during the course of the day, and parks itself back to the East at dusk. The system powers(750w) a DC pump for drip irrigation in the orchard.

The only "tracker" system I know of is a solar one - except for old satellite systems - they didn't look like PV panels which is why I had to ask . Very cool stuff. Replacing that system would've put a nice big dent in the pocket book for sure... ouch...

Wow this thread has some legs (8 years).

I used my tractor to lift heavy pieces of wood onto my log splitter using lifting tongs on my toothbar

Just thought of a "ridiculous" thing I did a long while back. I was burning a blueberry field next to a fellow's house and he came over to talk. Turns out that his dog just died and he wanted me to cremate it. I backed the burner over the box he had the dog in and let it burn for a while. It was out of the ordinary but he certainly appreciated it.

Did you check to be sure it was really a dog in the box? Maybe he just wanted to dispose of some "evidence".

It was an open top plastic fishbox. Most definitely a dog.

Beautiful day today so my wife asked me to "clean" the dining room rug. It shampoo it and used the Fel to hang it up to dry. Never thought the FEL would be used like this. But oh well.

Transfered a ton of wood pellets 8 bags at a time from my pickup to my breezeway since I could get closer in to the door with the FEL bucket then I could with the back of the pickup.
