squonk 39,191 #1 Posted April 7, 2012 Got a 10 wheeler load of topsoil. Had lots of low places and chuck holes to fill. Had it dumped to at the biggest spot that needed filling. The little 704 made short work of it with the homemade grader . Plus hauled a lot with my crappy 25 yr. old dump cart. Had a little help from my "other tractor" "Elvis". Lots more fun than a shovel! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AMC RULES 36,961 #3 Posted April 7, 2012 I see no cape, and it isn't not bedazzled with rhinestones, so...why is the other machine called Elvis? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
squonk 39,191 #4 Posted April 7, 2012 I see no cape, and it isn't not bedazzled with rhinestones, so...why is the other machine called Elvis? It's a Power "King" so I named it Elvis. My 160 is the "Spirit of 76". I had a 210-H that I named Gossamer after the red monster in the Bugs Bunny cartoons. I still haven't named the 704 yet. I'm leaning towards Reddi after a red stuffed horse I had when I was 3 or Ed. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
