Sometimes tractor tinkering is a great way to forget about all of life’s responsibilities and stress. Very cool machine!!

You must have worn out a few hammers on that project. Did you post a thread on the build ? That is a nice looking machine .

Me too. It's my very first WH. Got very lucky to get into the hobby with a loader tractor as the first one.

Maybe it'll make down to the big show for 2018 and you can give it go! How about pranking someone by digging a large moat around their tent?

Check out Sparky's post. He's #2. There are plenty of jokes to be written about Sparky and #2 but he'll be let off the hook this time.

Hammers, drill bits, saw blades, you name it and it got worn out including my back and knees.

This was built before I joined RS or any forum for that matter. There was an old thread from when it was first posted but I think it got lost in the forum host move, as many of those old beginning threads had.

It used to be used for snow, first with a snowblower and using the FEL as a lift for it, then with a custom made blade which fit on the arms of the loader, then back to the bucket. But now I use a big 44 inch blower on a 418-C and the trusty rusty 654 with a snow blade. Those 2 can handle everything from a dusting to 2ft plus, so the loader gets stored out back for the winter.

 

And thanks everyone for the nice comments on the machine!

Or around @857 horse Howard's chair while he naps.                        :ychain:

If @roadapples brings his digger than there could be a contest . How long to dig the moat and how long before @857 horse wakes up.

It would be no contest. John has a lot more experience. Besides, John built his from scratch,  👍 I just wrote out a check. Still eatin' Ramen Noodles to pay for it.😄
