    As I’ve shared in a couple other threads, my in-laws were hot with some rough storms so have been doing cleanup for a week. This is my second trip down and at least I’m bringing wood home this time. Coolest part of this is my father in law has his grandfather’s old 9N that he acquired on an auction once he found it. He’s cleaned it up, did a paint job and new stickers. And then added a few implements even though he lives in town. I cut the tree up and then we used his tractor and job to lift them onto my trailer. Pretty neat when I think about it. Kinda hope to own that tractor and keep it living some day, but I’ve even got less area than he does.

    then their neighbor is a friend of mine and let me use his tele-handler to take the butt right to the dump. Been a few years since I ran once, but like riding a bike thankfully.

    That's cool about that 9N being in the family and still doing work! We have my father in law's 9N in the shed and take it out from time to time. It does great blading the gravel roads around here. That's a lot of trees down, its good to see you helping them out!

    Deffinitely nice to have the tractor back.
    Looks like a wood hoarders dream there with all the blowdowns.
    Those are some big rounds going into the trailer....I hope taking them out is as pain-free!
