giddyap 1,569 #654 Posted January 17, 2021 Geez, I would never park next to Bear. His fine machines stand above all. Next to his, my wheel stander would be invisible, all eyes would be on his. But this is not to discouage anyone, I enjoy the hobby. Instead, I pay homage to all the owners and their great tractors here on RedSquare 6 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Extremely pleased to see the helmet and chaps as well as the horse! That front mount is where you put your de-thatcher, right? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JCM 9,062 #658 Posted January 18, 2021 @Handy Don The de thatcher has it's own mount.That is a custom front mount that started it's life as a front mount for a Mckissik chipper / shredder. Added a top mount for a winch and a receiver with ball mount for moving trailers around the yard. Thanks for the comment on the safety gear. Also a pair of Red Wing steel toe logger boots and leather gloves. Never pull the starter rope without those items. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Seems to be some sort of powerful red horse crossing the camera view. Must be a deep south Maine creature. I don't believe we have those up here.... 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm going through tractor build withdraws. Have to just look at others have'n fun on here building stuff instead of getting some skinned knuckles myself. There's been minimal available time for hobby related stuff for while now. All work and no play has me off balance 2 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
