    Well here is my tractor. I call it "Fist Fight" because that's almost what happened when I beat another guy to it (CL deal) by 10 mins. He was freaking hot under the collar!

    I ended up with it for a cash sale. Got rear forks that mark Hoskey made into 3pt for me. Also got a 60gal fimco sprayer with booms, spray wand & PTO pump, 6' JD brush hog, and land pride 3pt blade. Oh and brand new tire chains...

    3pt forks with load of milled wood from my gtg.

    4ft x 4ft pallets made from friends old decking. Hold 2/3-3/4 cord that I'll use forks to move.

    I just picked up this Case 1835B Diesel with 2200 hours, it came with a Bucket & Forks. I'm going to add a grapple and splitter before too long I hope.

    I had to share my new grapple in this thread. I paid my neighbor to build it for my tractor. It does firewood log collection and its other top priority is moving brush and stumps. image.jpg image.jpg image.jpg

    You can see a little better here how it is custom made for the tractor. You can see his mounting for the quick attach plate. I can pick up my bucket, forks, or grapple. A few extra pins for the grapple.

    I have a Case 222.

    Since I got the bigger tractors, I've done nothing with it. Those are very cool machines though.

    I really like these little guys they both can pull a large load. Ive moved my 14' trailer loaded around the yard with ease, haul the splitter around, grade the driveway, move firewood and a bunch of other stuff. Love em... :)

    I use a 1552 Massey-Ferguson; "Fergie" . I added expanded metal to the front push bar to prevent stuff from poking through the grill (don't ask why I needed this...) I still need to make up some belly pans for her. I added a grapple to a set of forks that I used to move logs around with. I have an Igland 3 pt. winch for it that I've modified by adding extensions to my chain boxes, a home made chainsaw scabbard, and a pin mount for my self-releasing snatch block.
