ebinmaine 67,541 #11710 Posted June 3, 2021 Me an' the ol' Cinnamon Horse C160 had some fun movin' heavy stuff around. Went out to the forest and got a good load of fire 🔥 wood🪓. When me n' horsie got back the old ball n chain was pulling in the yard with another "Honda Fit load" of cee-ment blocks for the patio project. For anyone needing a Bear and BBT status update... Here's the running "herd" as it stands. Near to far on the right: Cinnamon Horse C160. Trina's Pigpen 867. My 1970 Charger hydro. Off to the left is Trina's Pony 657. Future projects in order: Trina's Military Tribute tractor. Colossus big boy tractor. 1968 Raider 10. 1974 C160 with Tecumseh engine. Couple days ago I started building a wicked rugged trailer hitch for whatever horse it lands on. I'll likely build 2 or more similar hitches for Cinnamon Horse and the Charger hydro etc..... That's 2 x 2 square stock. @JCM @Stepney @Oldskool @OldWorkHorse @AHS @WheelhorseBob @Chestnut And the rest of you Wheelhorse crazies..... 🤪🇺🇸🚜 3 12 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The sectioning up. (Chainsaw work). Moving the splitter from one tree felled area to the next. Trina and her Mom do all the splitting and stacking. Pulling the loaded trailer up out the forest. Now I've got the Mackissic chipper I'm finding that to be quite entertaining as well. Something very nice about turning a 5 foot tall pile o brush to a 1 foot tall area of chips. 3 1 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Was there anything made in between the lever steer and the Senior? Edited June 3, 2021 by Bailey855 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The more I see and read on here and YouTube the more I’m intrigued. Thank you 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think it would be great if Cecil could see one more testament to his work- from all those years ago. As simple as the design is, it still says quite a bit about what the Ponds built, and just how much quality was built into these machines! You certainly will not find a smart phone or likely even automobile that will so easily spring back to life 70 years from now!
