Memories indeed. When I was a young kid I remember loading up my Dad's Chevy 1/2 ton with so much firewood that when we were at highway speeds going up a local short grade that the front tires were skimming the road at best. I remember seeing him turn the wheel on direction while the front tires were up in the air and when they would bounce the truck would turn in the new direction. That was in the late 70s. During that time there wasn't any tickets given out...Today that would be a totally different deal. I sure do miss the family togetherness I don't miss the act of harvesting firewood for the winter.You just brought fond back memories...I remember driving along the Halifax harbour (Nova Scotia) in a 66 Chevelle popping wheelies with my wife and a good friend when we were in our 20's. WAY more fun than on a tractor lol.
Got some quality time on the B2601 today, put about 4 hours on it while tearing out deck posts and hauling away some poured cement that was randomly placed around an above ground pool that I took out. A few of the posts were buried really deep with a lot of cement around them, I'd guess just the cement ball on the biggest ones was 250'ish lb. The 3 pt worked well to remove the posts that didnt have a lot of cement around them (like the one in the photo below) but the ones with the big ball of cement at the base needed a little loader love to get them out.
Oh and I found a cool little newt having some lunch.

My other half found a free mini barn (only 6'x6') and we took the trailer and the L4200 out and retrieved it. Got both of them back home in the same trip. Now we have a new "Goat Barn" for Loki ("The goatee!).
My buddy had a goat (Rover) years ago and he was one crazy animal. Every time I came for a visit he would come running at me just on his hind legs, head down and ready to play. For some reason he didn't like women too much and would never let them walk in front of him and if they tried to get by he would give them the side butt.My other half found a free mini barn (only 6'x6') and we took the trailer and the L4200 out and retrieved it.

Wow, nice Mack Granite crane! We've always had lots of boom trucks with flat decks around here, but I'm starting to see more and more of those truck mounted cranes now.
I added these tow hooks to our B2650 for chaining it on the trailer. The holes were already there and matched up perfectly with HF tow hooks. Eliminating any paint damage to the frame. And my first car was 67 Olds 442.

New to me 2017 L3901 that I've put about 50 hours on in the past 3 weeks that Ive owned it. Filled about 100 holes left by pulling trees, and mowed about 5 of my 34 acres before they rain shut me down.
Good eyes! The cool thing about that rig is I bought it from a family owned Wisconsin metal fab shop, who does stainless work in dairys and food plants. They bought the truck and crane brand new, then did their own mounting, and then took it to be certified. The side rails and the under bed dunnage racks, are 100% stainless steel, because they had it laying around and like working it! No more scratched paint on carbon steel (and then rust) sides, now it's bullet proof! It's one of a kind, the crane itself has 110' of main boom, that was only 85' or so in the pic I think.
Today I set trusses on a 60' by 70' shop (for a stockbroker, who has a lot of toys according to the carpenters), then came home and after a short break continued on my weeks long project of cutting in a trail through 1/4 mile of sloping/steep Quaking Aspen that a creek flows through. I rough it in using the recently bought lightly used kubota U25 mini excavator, with thumb, and with it I get it so I can then use the L3301 tractor and the scraper blade set at a side angle, to put the required final side angle in the trail. NO ROCKS on almost all of it, but lots of tree roots etc. In between I run the WoodMaxx chipper on the tractor PTO (swapping out the scraper blade) and get rid of the waste trees and also get free ships for the trail surface. The two Kubota's are a awesome combo. Another awesome and required tool has been a 60 volt electric chainsaw, bought from Lowes, perfect for up to 12" logs, but most 3 or 4", and no more noise or pulling on a starter rope! Unbelievable battery power, and the same battery plugs in the lawn mower, hours of work, and by the time I eat lunch it's fully charged for the rest of the day, I love that thing.

Greenworks, a house brand of Lowes I think maybe? They now offer 80 volt models, and also 40 volt, the 60's were phased out. Besides not yanking on a rope to start it, when doing sporadic cutting like I do, there is zero time spent idling. How many times do you shut a gasser off thinking you're done, then immediately realize you have to restart? The E power makes the entire process more pleasant, I should also mention I have a large grid tied solar system and a large surplus of KWH's "in the bank" with my utility, so it's all free to charge it up, only pennies anyway. Go with the higher volts, always, no downside.
Dahum, that's way more than just a pucker,Rolled down a hill out of control with a bucket of dirt and the rear wheels off the ground.
Hope you just cut those shorts off and tossed them.Yeah I was likeDahum, that's way more than just a pucker,
stomping on reverse and brake while picking up speed, about half way down the hill it hit me my rear wheels were off the ground. Today I grew a brain and installed my 500lbs of suitcase weights.

3 things,Yeah I was like
1) with a full bucket put in 4 wheel drive.
2) with a full bucket and not enough counter weight, Back down the hill.
3) If you loose control, drop the bucket to the ground to regain control.

Started working on the CarryAll that I returned and re-purchased from TSC this month. My QH-05 would not work with the TSC CarryAll, so I ordered a new Land Pride QH-10 from Dealer today. Thanks again for the great suggestions from members on this Forum in solving my problem. From a Newbie.
