    Saw this thread on AS and decided to carry it on over here. Let's see some pics of your firewood tractors (or RTVs, 4wheelers/trailers - whatever you use for wood transportation). Here's mine... image.jpg

    It does everything I need it to do. My BIL has a 1520 and is pretty hard on it. That's why I went with NH. I figured if he hasn't completely fubared his I'd be ok.

    Man I like that claw. I got to get a quick attach plate so I can weld up the forks for mine one of these days.

    He's a little short to reach the pedals so I only let him go about walking speed so I can stop him. He does good steering and rides the heck out of his 80 four wheeler and 50 dirt bike.

    Here is what I have pictures of, the real work horses for fire wood.
    20141101_152354.jpg
    From right to left:
    CAT 226B has the most creature comforts, we just added an inclosed cab with heat, and over tire tracks.
    CASE 1840C with blockbuster grapple, she is old, but gets the most use.
    MUSTANG 2076 my favorite, plenty of cab room, best ride and most power. Just wish the grapple fit it.

    For tractors we have:
    FORD 5600 utility, 55 hp. Good little odd job tractor.
    JOHN DEER 4440, just took delivery of it, won't be used for firewood, just making hay.

    Also have a 14' end dump gooseneck, 2= 30' gooseneck flatbeds.

    IMG_3123.JPG Here’s my workhorse, a Wheel Horse C-125, circa 1983. I bought it to push snow off my driveway, but it’s pretty useful hauling wood around too. And my daughter can work the clutch and drive it better than my wife can!
