Yeah ... me neither. You need at least two saws if you plan to cut wood very often. The worst I did was get two saws, a farm-jack and a tractor stuck in and under a large twin-trunk oak blowdown (all sorts of unpredictable forces happening with that one and on very soft ground). Second...

Not sure yet. I'll just add it to the huge stack of walnut and cherry slabs salvaged from the big blow-down back in the Spring ... and dream of future projects.

Pulled a very old 7” x 10” x 16’ barn beam (that was almost completely buried) out of the creek bed. Recent flooding changed the creek’s route and exposed a bit of this and I had to rescue it.

Replacing a gate post in the garden that was snapped by a small tornado. Didn't have enough height to drop it straight in so dug a ramp and angled it in. Excuse the ratty looks of the garden fencing. It is all "found" materials here on the place. Zero costs of materials. This big post...

Moved a few "sticks" out of the driveway. Started cleaning up after an EF2 tornado knocked down 70 50-year-old pines and a big walnut tree in the yard. 100+ more trees up in the woods (over the loop road) to deal with. No damage to us, the dogs, house, garage or barn thank God. This little...

Rains every other day here so too muddy as well. Changed out all the fluids and filters on the new-to-me L3200. Also found out (from Kubota) that it is a 2013 model and not 2010 as thought. Really itching to start using this thing!

Thanks for the info SouthernSky. I'll keep an eye on the fuel. Not sure if I have an immediate need for the PTO as I'm keep the old Ford and still enjoy running it around in ever smaller circles with the mower / brush-hog. I'll probably put the pond scoop on the Kubota and grab a little gravel...

Good idea! I've been eyeballing this ... 1953 Studebaker 1-Ton dump.

No, but I did have to pass a buggy full of Amish to get to this implement dealer. I'm allowed to sport a mustache along with this beard. :)

Thanks Fordtech86! I plan on getting it dirty and will probably add a scratch or two.

Equipment list in profile modified ... :D

Thanks for the lead D2Cat! Tempting, but my budget has crept up as it is. Each little bump seems like a possibility, but where would it end? With me having a new one delivered most likely. ;)

Thanks Fordtech86. I’ll check with the local dealership.

Duly noted -- thanks SidecarFlip. I'm already trying to figure out what it would take to change the loader to a skid steer type attachment, add a 3rd function valve and get a grapple to clean up the dozens of trees piled up from the Great Hungry Creek Flood of 2017. Sounds like an adapter kit...

Thanks North Idaho Wolfman -- good to hear.
