Some Dirty Ash ! And Some Pain In The Apple !

Now that Maple Syrup season is officially over for us..its time to get back to property maintenance. The property lines have been pushing us over for the last 30 years..time to push back ! Nothing but lots of dead ash and apple. Great firewood ! Can't get the tractor and grapple in cuz its too soft...so going old school on this project !

 

Nice. That is going to make one heck of a burn pile if you decide to burn the slash.

 

Thanks ! Lighting it up with the propane wead burner is next on the list ...you read my mind !

 

I haven't seen a Big Red trike in... a LONGGG time! Nice score and a cool way to move it

 

Ugh, tons of limb clean up.

Apple is awesome firewood but it's so much work for not a lota wood. It's my fav for cookin'.

 

The original ATV workhorse!
Way to git r dun HF!

 

Thanks for the great replies...makes my day that much better !
Here a better shot of old Red

 

Pic no worky...

 

Nice...I'd still buy a Big Red in a heartbeat if one came up for sale at a good price!

 

Thanks. I'd love to have another too...just because! Things been a workhorse. 1985...still doesn't burn any oil !

 

That's a big job, nice work!

Oh man, I have always wanted a big red, I love ATC's, I have had a few, the main one I rode was a 185 with a 200 engine in it that was bored .60 over. Sadly sold them all and have been wanting one again for a long time

 

Big Red's getting a lot of love, as it should, but I like that little utility trailer. That thing looks handy!

 

I'm afraid I don't fully agree sir. The good working weather was January & February this year. Cold made good hard ground and we had about the right amount of snow for skidding logs. We got 30ish cord stacked up here this winter.@HoneyFuzz , that fence line clearing is real work by hand, nice job!

 

When you said old school, I thought I would see a horse and wagon out there packing everything away. Thanks for sharing the pics.

 

I wish I was that old school !

 

I have heard that dealerships won’t service the trikes anymore because they have such a high crash rating with recreational riding. Word was that if an owner called to say their three wheeler wasn’t running, the reply was “good, let’s keep it that way”.

any issues with yours, or do your maintain it yourself. If it’s a Honda, they are pretty indestructible.

 

I'm sure that's true..plus dealerships usually don't service anything that old anyway. I maintain it myself. Once a year engine/tranny oil...differential fluid..spark plug n air filter...all myself.
Plus I've done brakes...tires..painted rims...rebuilt front shocks and boots...fuel line and peacock.
Nothing ever too serious...and honda is great about parts support too. Can get all genuine Honda parts still !
But I mostly fix everything myself anyway. Try to be self sufficient!

Like when I bought my Kubota tractor...I said on the way out the door...take a good look...you will probably never see it again lol !
