    Yes, pre-insulation for sure. 9 fireplaces. Just imagine feeding those (without a chainsaw)!

    Is that a shackle on the top of the middle joint of the loader? What do you use that for?

    Yes that's a shackle. I have a dedicated set of straps with snap hooks that I use when I trailer the tractor and that is of 4 tie down points. I have one on the other side of the loader and 2 more in the back through the backhoe mounting holes.

    Some people might say that's not technically a rated tie down point and I should go directly to the frame and they are probably right.

    Yep, our old L3130 probably spent 90% of it's life being a skidder/loader... 20241005_085629.jpg 20241009_132832.jpg 20241010_112245.jpg

    Weldrdave is just showing off his nice cooking and grilling bucket (like the below), his working bucket isn't allowed in the clean garage. I think he makes people take off their boots when they walk in. :D

    Our old tractor had pin on for a lo g time, we finally converted it to QA.
    The new tractor can home with bucket, I dropped it off and forks and grapples are the only thing that's been used since...

    When I was loading round bales for neighbors wished I had forks. Used webbed ratchet straps they hooked right on bucket lip.. If I need forks 3/4 mile down road JD 75 hp with cab. That really nice when you need 2 tractors

    Took a little time this morning and
    re-did the auxiliary lights on the tractor canopy...
    These 2 small light were on the front, we were able to unbolt them, clip the zip ties and move them to the back 20251226_125546.jpg
    Santa brought me a new 20" light bar for the front, got it mounted on the angle iron frame... 20251226_125619.jpg
    Got the wires spliced into the other light circuit... 20251226_125638.jpg
    20251226_125652.jpg
    No smoke or sparks, so I guess it's good to go...
    Maybe this will light up the work area.

    :rofl: :lol::rofl: :lol: You already have a canopy...it's called a garage...:rofl: :lol::rofl: :lol:

    Has that tractor ever seen dirt?

    Seriously, just being majorly jealous of your garage. My poor tractor reminds me of those humane society commercials where they show the dogs shivering in the snow.
