    Wasn’t sure which forum to post this in but since there’s a tractor and saw in the photo I opted for here.

    It was 17 degrees this morning. We haven’t had any major storms, but have had a little snow each day for the past two weeks. It makes for a cold winter wonderland in the woods. But the tractor and new echo saw performed flawlessly. Brought up two dead standing maples from the woods. Don’t know what I’d do without that little Kubota.

    17 degrees is pretty balmy compared to what it's been like in Wisconsin.
    Without a tractor most of the stuff I do I wouldn't be able to do.

    I know I'd surely be overworked if I didn't have my tractor. A lot of stuff simply wouldn't get done period.
    Nice size wood for cutting up Dascro.

    Nice work, just came in from cutting up a couple bucket loads of Oak & Ash about that size. I'd be lost without my tractors & equipment. I like your winch set up as well. Those little tractors are sure time & back savers.

    I’ve been using that homemade winch for a few years. I wouldn’t want to have to make a living using it, but it really comes in handy for mr needs.

    Kabota thread would have been another option.
