I don't really have a strong need for a chain saw carrier on a normal basis, but I wanted one still. Lets visit the scrap pile and see what we can come up with. Boys and girls, we will again employ the Ansatz method, as I have no idea how/if this will work. It's a build on the fly with no...

OK....I hesitate to post this....but since I'll never actually meet any of you...what the hell. My cottage is 4 hours north of my house, and they tend to get a lot more snow up there than I do here. I have a plow for my truck, but the problem is when I get on the freeway at speeds above 65...

I'm not sure if I am only one, but I was having a hard time connecting, and to some extent disconnecting, my grapple hoses due to the downward angle at which they were installed.( I forgot to take a before pic, so pic 1 is my only before reference pic) The other thing that bothered me was that...

I've been kicking around the idea of ordering a landscape rake. I have small gravel driveway at the cottage and a small area that needs a once over to clean it up a little. Last year, I box bladed the drive, and for the life of me I could not get the "lines" where the box blade ends to smooth...

So I had one more filter to protect, so off we go.... After some initial measurements, I came up with the basic shape that I wanted to use. I must have made an error in my measuring or got things backwards in my head, because I thought for sure the right rear part needed a cut out to avoid...

So in the spirit of protecting my new toy I've been making the guards for the filters and hoses. Here is the Hydraulic filter guard from soup to nuts. So looking at it, my initial thought was to try and protect the filter and the lower parts of the exposed hose (at least the stuff below the...

So with about 35 hours on my new machine, I am out trying to clear a trail. Lots of 1 to 2 inch trees and brush to remove so I'm going at it with my grapple and chain saw when all of a sudden the engine dies. At first I thought I might have hit the key with my knee when looking over my shoulder...

Since buying the tractor I have been trailering it way more than I thought I would between the cottage and home. I was using straps and they worked good for a while but I noticed some chaffing recently and that did not sit well with me. I decided to switch to chains but the idea of scraping...

Decided to give it a whirl and make my own grill guard. I really did not like the idea of grinding on my new tractor in order to weld something on permanently so I made some clamps that allow me to unbolt it. That has worked out well. Not too long after I installed it I was going too fast in...

Hello all, I've been lurking for quite some time so a quick intro is in order. Got my first tractor about 8 months ago, so I only have about 80 hours of total tractor time. My biggest regret about buying it is that I didn't buy it 30 years ago!!! I can't believe how much fun "Tractor'n" is...
