I hauled two loads up the hill and split them even though I was told to forget about that wood for now. I load in the front to act as a counterweight to the load in the carrier. I really need to see about a small trailer to pull behind the tractor. There is more of the red oak in the woods. I was worried about going on the incline with the tractor; there is no ROPS as you can see. So I took the wheelbarrow and loaded the wood and rolled it down the hill to the tractor; good thing it was rolling downhill. My lower back and arms are hurting; however, my evening meal is ready. Time to relax a bit.
Nice rig. Looks like you are making out just fine without a trailer. They can be a pain in tight spaces anyway.
I have never been able to back one the few times I have used one; I usually just turn around in a circle.
Good job done, but ONLY if you didn't injure yourself! Nice tractor. It should work for you for many years to come.
Great job and good looking wood. Are the tines on the cultivator removable, relatively easily? If you could remove them, while using it for the base for your carry-all, it would not only allow you to lower it further (for loading rounds) but potentially be safer. The tines could catch on a stump, or rock, etc., while you are moving through the woods. That could possibly cause you to be looking at the sky before you engage the clutch. Absolutely not being critical, but I just thought I must make the suggestion. When I am snaking logs with my tractor, I am frequently looking back to make sure I still have the ends of the logs elevated so they will not hang on something and possibly cause a roll over.
Now that is some progress-Imagine having done that once a day for the past 60? You would not be in your predicament right now-Word to you Kimberly, if you've asked and been waiting on a friend for the entire summer, they are an acquaintance, albeit a pleasant one, but not a "friend" you can count on-Good work, keep it up
I spoke about this in another topic. The tines are needed to support the back of the carry-all. I thought about getting some angle iron for that. TSC also sells a carry-all frame for $125. While I was at sister #1 the other day; she mentioned me using the old carry-all frame that she had; I just need to get it to my house.
Well, they live up North; and I am down southish and they had problems this year as well. Yes, I know; I should have done better. I am trying.
cribbed ends I was thinking that I might be able to turn the tines over, so they come up and still perform the same purpose. I had already mounted the carrier before I thought of that.
