What do you use your FEL for?

[SonnieP]

When this thread gets done I'll have to print it out and keep it handy. From what I've read I've thought of several more things I can do now. I believe I can stay busy for a few years at least.

When I first started talking about getting a tractor my wife kept saying I didn't need no tractor and that she could think of plenty of things to spend that money on besides a stupid tractor. She started mentioning to other folks that I was buried up to my eyeballs in researching tractors and nearly everyone of them just couldn't believe we didn't already have a tractor. Now she has come up with all kinds of honey-do chores that she wants done... she's actually encouraging me to find the right tractor that will do everything we need.

How sweet it will be!

I won't repeat numerous things already listed above. One not mentioned is using FEL with toothbar to rip huge patches of blackberry vines out of a stand of trees. One thread ran a few months back about a guy who added planking and railing to his FEL for use as an easily movable and height adjustable scaffold platform. That thread covered the full spectrum of how to do this in a safe manner.

Use the bucket tilted back to carry water to the garden. Dip it out of the FEL with a pail and water the tomatoes

i use the fel for many things as already stated in prior post. i could not imagine having a tractor with out it. one other thing i do is fill the fel with water and water some outlying young trees i planted this year, been to dry and they need water once in awhile.

Now just what would make you even remotely think I was influenced by ALL these forum members???

YES! You guys are a great influence on a fella for guiding him in the right paths of purchasing a tractor... BUT you are a baddddd influence on a fella when it comes to spending money.

Here's one I haven't seen on this thread, yet. The FEL is extremely handy for moving the tractor when you're stuck in the mud.
