    Great idea! The forks are new-ish to me. I hadn't thought that far ahead, yet. I've just been putting my head down and getting cleared out for putting up the fencing and barn. Variety includes some nice dead oak, dead black birch, beech, tulip poplar and red (soft) maple. Truthfully, I'm happy to have some of the poplar and maple in there. I'm pretty far behind, and that stuff will be ready to burn next season.

    Looking forward to more of your projects. I like to block off a log to keep it steady, then roll it and block it away from the back plate of the forks when I get bucking towards the middle. A little more running around from one end to the other to keep the log balanced, but what a back saver!

    So, did you ever pick up new lights for your tractor? Lately, I've had to work into the dark due to the short days and some looming deadlines. Working under lights reminded me or you. I can confirm, that the LED set I got throw ALOT of light. I don't really need any more lighting. If I ever did, it would be easy to add more lights on my canopy or ROPS. So far, I'm very pleased, but still have only ~10 hrs running with the lights.

    I did! I connected them to the front mounts of the canopy, kept the wires real slick and added a switch. I tied into the pigtails available at the rear. They are wicked bright! Almost need sunglasses when pushing snow!

    I've definitely got the ugly duckling in this bunch! I've had this 3350 for quite a few years. I picked it up dirt cheap as the previous owner thought it had transmission issues and it turned out to be a broken roll pin in the shifter linkage. $.10 part got her up and running again. She's ugly but boy does she run good!

    I see a reliable work horse!

    What are those 2 bars on either side to the front? For weights?

    Kinda hard to tell on my phone....

    I honestly don't know. Could possibly be for weights but I've never really thought about it.

    All tractors are beautiful when they’re working! You got an especially good one I’d say, especially since it was a great deal. Function over form is my motto

    Anything too good looking just wouldn't fit in around here haha. Half of the equipment looks like it survived wwII. But 90% of the time they do the task at hand.

    Man was that snow "tight" after coming off the roof after settling for a few days, had to "chisel" at it with the plow.
