    Good evening ladies and gents! It’s been quite some time since I’ve been around. Life has been busy to say the least. The wife and I bought 118 acres last year. Sold the old house. Put up temporary housing on the new land. And will be building a new house in a year or two! Also I was finally able to upgrade the old New Holland 1920 and got a new New Holland Workmaster 50. Yea yea, pictures or it didn’t happen!

    The day it was delivered. Perfect timing, since it was opening morning of muzzleloader season.

    Moving some balsam around with the new grapple.

    And some new studded ice chains for her and a snowblower I scored from my father in law for a chainsaw!

    NICE tractor, i see you got the ''convertible'' model hay, as long as it works and by the looks of the pictures you'r working it.

    Looks like you set the rear wheels out when the chains went on - I leave my rears as wide as possible, but the fronts are set to stay within the bucket width. Seems to work really well.

    Waiting for a review on that processor. They just sold a rebuilt 24hp one, advertised at $15k. I was tempted!
