Norm. I love your front mounted snow blower! Hate the rear mounted rigs. My neck is too old and damaged for that action. Hurts just looking at them. Here are some more shots from a few weeks ago at the old tractor shop. I have a thing for old Olivers It was so cool to see one working the fields of south Dakota last summer this 880 is a bit too shiny for me but the real deal for shure.

so its actually 7 below f. got her running and plowed again. I had a tiny bit of brakes.. part of it was likely the snow was so deep that the drums are packed with snow. Still something else going on though.

Some action footage showing one of the many videos put out by a young fellow living in Saugerties
near the Gunks. He has more than 100,000 subscribers. Everything he does is interesting.

From the "y'all ain't gonna believe this sh!t" file:

The family of Gregory Longenecker says the 51-year-old's civil rights were violated by authorities who crushed him to death with a bulldozer last year while trying to arrest him for growing fewer than a dozen marijuana plants, according to a federal lawsuit.

Longenecker, a short-order cook from Reading, Pa., had allegedly been secretly growing 10 pot plants deep in the woods of a game preserve in Berks County when a game commission employee discovered his car and called the police, the Washington Post reported. When they arrived, a friend who was accompanying Longenecker that day was arrested, but the life-long Grateful Dead fan fled into the heavy underbrush of the preserve.

An hours-long search ensued, with a helicopter tracking Longenecker's movements from above and two police departments combing the land, which was so thick with vegetation that a tracking dog could not even get through, according to the Post. The game commissioner who discovered Longenecker's plants had been driving a bulldozer, and one police officer, identified as Mark Weiss, reportedly got on the heavy machinery in an attempt to get through the landscape.

What happened next is hotly debated -- Pennsylvania State Trooper David Boehm first said Longenecker could not have died in a pursuit because there was no pursuit. Then, authorities concluded it was possible Longenecker had a heart attack while running from police. Next, Cops said they needed to use a bulldozer because "there's no way that you could walk through that stuff," the Washington Post reported.

One thing is certain: an autopsy revealed that Longenecker died of traumatic injuries, as "virtually all" of the bones and organs in his body from his pelvis to collar bone were "crushed, broken, and /or lacerated." An investigation by the Berks County District Attorney ruled his death as accidental.....

Just picked this up a couple days ago, well worth the drive from Seattle to Portland. 25 hp with shuttle shift and self leveling bucket, and about 320 lbs beet juice in the rear tires- Nice ride!

Yanmar 2210d


I had to get something bigger than my 1300d, which I was just going to destroy lifting logs! It sold for asking price in about 6 hours :)

Saw this one parked at a motel lot in Nebraska. Trailer has Arkansas plates. Tractor says "We don't need no stinkin' plates. Have some respect for yer elders, dang gummit."

There was no brand name on this tractor, but that's probably because the cover over the engine is MIA. It had E-15 stencil painted on the side.

Apparently, I hopped over the high side as it was tipping over. Seat belts would have killed me there.
