What's the scotch for?

To make you feel better when...

you bury the two wheel drive tractor in the mud, break the 4 wheel drive trying to pull it out, and then tipping the excavator over trying to pull the whole mess? ;D

I have a plan:

Nissan Patrol test drive and Russian Monster Tracktors
If the state had not cut funding for the mental institutions, this project could never have happened.

when he could have avoided the whole mess with a small slew of well timed explosive charges to do the work in less time with less effort

nothing good can come of this.

It's about time I do something stupid. I think 2wd, 40's vintage, and any tools I can find that'll fit. If nothing else-the actual useable stuff costs legitimate money.

You can have all the ambiance you want...

and mosquito control to boot.

Only if you deliver it.



Paint it flat black first though.

That would take away from the ambiance.  Maybe a couple coats of clear over the patina?

1992 900 SS, currently a pile of parts.  Now running

I know how you love flat black.


The patina comes out of the exhaust.

I'm sort of looking for something like Nate's, with less rust. Can I run implements off it alright?

My tractor runs everything I put on it.

It sucks for bucket work. I do have a manure bucket for it, but I recently removed the last part of the framework.

My Massey has a high/low range transmission and barely goes slow enough with the tiller. The compact tractors of today are better for that as they have even lower ranges in the transmission.

For a rotary mower or woodsplitter, or any draft implement...harrows or the like it's just the ticket. It would also be pretty good with a tedder or rake.

It's a little tired to run a baler.

See that's what I was doing with the Kubota. Scraping the topsoil off for a driveway. The heavier ones work better. The light ones, not so much. plus you get better traction with tracks.

Now here's an old D4 that does a lot of work.

It helps if you run a roto tiller over the loam first if you're using a tractor mounted bucket.
