    Great video, it is incredible what you can do with a garden tractor. I really like your 3pt attachments and the front weight box. It is much easier to get a garden tractor into smaller spaces, great logging

    I love Case Ingersoll High Wheel tractors! With the R1 tires and a ballast as you have, they have immense torque, traction and pulling power. I hope I can get my hands on an older garden tractor not made out of tin foil, as the one of these days are. I'll have to wait until the spring begins, to whip back out of storage our good-ole Ariens LT. Stay safe out there,
    GP

    • @BuildALotAcres
      @BuildALotAcres  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I agree with your sentiments GP. The older garden tractors were built to be passed down generations. You won’t get disappointed once you get one.

    I welded up an A frame for the 3 point of my '77 John Deere 300; welded a chain grab hook to b the top of the A frame. Chokered a section of a large bur oak trunk, then pulled my chain to the hook as tight as i could with the 3 point down, then raised the 3 point and went. I didn't think my little garden tractor would budge it, but wasn't pleasantly surprised when it skidded the tree rather easily..

    It can be done, however, show respect for the tractor to. In other words, if your going to pull logs with your tractor, cut them down half the size of the tree your pulling, and only small demotions of the size of the tree or log your going to pull. Go easy on the equipment, and it will last you a lot longer.

    Probably!
    You could do it with an old style Tote Goat to !
    They were possibly a two wheel drive low profile motorcycle with tractor tires for dragging deer and elk out of the woods.
    Holy crap that thing is loud.
    Please adjust the idle on that thing.
    Just remember not to flip the tractor backwards!!! That's why that setup is called a Widowmaker!
    In fact I had a girlfriend back in the '80s who watched her father die that way!!!

      You could load logs on the front of your tractor to hold the front end down and to haul more logs.

      I believe mine are 12”. 18” would be too big for one handed use imo. I can grab rounds bigger than 12” diameter with mine, but they aren’t cumbersome in the brush lands
