Most of my 'in action in snow' pics are on a external drive(s). Mostly hauling rounds lately. The guy across the street was shoveling by hand a pretty big load of crushed stone for his driveway. I went over and moved it around for him. No pics. Little boy next door sat and watched the tractoring the whole time. Wish I had had a camera with me.
Enjoy those memories, won't be long, it will be grandkids in the tractor with you. Wonder how I know???
Our Kubota. '06 L3130 gets abused, uh, used alot. Mostly firewooding, but does just as good on the food plots. With the Land Pride tiller With the Frontier disk harrow And of course, handling those nice logs My hunny putting 38" red oak round on the vertical splitter
Here is a few pictures of me on tractors. Not really lifting anything. The Cub is my first drive on it after I got it. This is my grand dad's tractor and basically hadn't run much in several decades. The rings were stuck in it which is why it's so smokey. Most of that smoke is gone now. One with the Yanmar is clearly me disking my garden, and the other with the log is where I just dragged that red oak log off my trailer with the tractor. The final pic is one I took at work a few years ago. The operator had just flipped the cutter. I took the normal picture and watched them flip it over.
I think it's a 36" blower. Need to make room in the garage and pull it down so I can change oil etc. on it.
My little Case 448 hooked up to new toy. Stanley hydraulic chainsaw. Works good on the small tractor. Not as high speed cutting as a gas saw but lots of torque.
Be neat to see a video of that. Heard a few in bucket trucks but never close enough to see in action.
Yes, Sirbuildalot, I am deep into the Case Collection. Have a whole bunch of them. Near you also in Rutland.
Case garden tractors are worthless and should be sent to me for recycling. I'll recycle them next to my 195,220,224,446 and 448.
No chit!!! I try to scope out Cases and Ingersolls every time I drive through towns. I know there’s a guy near Treasure Valley that has a couple. Overlook used to sell them, so I’m sure there’s a few in the Rutland area hiding away in barns and garages. What models do you have? I have 2-448’s, a 220, and a 214 Massey which was built by Ingersoll. I used to have a 218 Massey, a 648 hyloader, a 226, and a 446. Wish I’d kept the hyloader. Maybe I’ll find a nice 7020 one day.
Well I have half a dozen of 400 series of different sizes. Three 200 series and one articulating 4x4. Plus just about all the accessories they make including one of the Case 2 way splitters.
That's awesome. Reminds me of the ArticIngerCase. I've had most of the usual implements and accessories like snowplows, hitches, wheel weights, PTO's snowcasters, mid mount decks, sleeve hitches, sleeve adapters, etc. I also have/have had several harder to find ones like the hydracutter, a OEM bucket extender, hydrabagger, lawn sweeper, etc. Plus several homeade items.
Something about the larger garden tractors has always drawn me in. The "Super Garden Tractors" as was originally coined by IH with the 982 in the 1970's. Many brands offered there own versions of a SGT. Typically these machines were heavier, longer, wider, bigger tires, bigger engines, and had true cat 0 three point hitches. Targeted towards larger estate owners. John Deere came out with the 400, then the 420 and diesel 430. Bolens had the large frame series like the 1886, the HT20, the HT23. Wheelhorse had the D series. The largest of which the, D-250 had a water cooled French Engine. Simplicity/Allis Chalmers had the Powermax series which tipped the scales at about 1300 lbs and could be outfitted with a choice of 3 different tires for both the front and rear. Then they introduced the Sunstar machines in the next gen. Gravely had the 24G, and the GMT9000. Sears/Craftsman had the FF series, Ford had the LGT-195, Massey Ferguson had the 1855, etc, etc. Some brands didn't really have a "Super Garden Tractor" as a stand alone model or series, their tractors were just big in general compared to other garden tractors. Such is the case with Case/Ingersoll Hi Wheelers, Hyloaders, and the Powerking machines. I've seen several of the SGT's and they are show stoppers when you first see one in person after dealing with throw away lawn tractors. I've owned/own many garden tractors, several of which are considered Super Garden Tractors.
