Now that I've got too many candles on the birthday cake, I want to make things easy. Dragging, field dressing, and skinning a buck is so much easier with the Kubota!

I doubt there are any implements left, but it's sitting in the barn at my mom's house. By the time I end up making a bid for it, it will need all new rubber I'm sure.

I know this is not a tractor but I got this sweet Honda push mower from the dump. Can't believe someone threw this away. The deck is all aluminum so it will never rust, and it has a commercial grade engine. I swear to Allah that I put gas in it and it fired right up on the first pull. It is equipped with electric start but the battery is dead and too expensive to replace. It's a Honda HR214. Love this thing!

Well, since winter decided to show up way early I took my oldest out and plowed out for the mailman.
The B7100 with a 5 foot blade does just fine, the snow was up past the front bumper.

Once she can reach the clutch the training will start up. |

Went through kind of a yuppie neighborhood and saw someone had put out a table-top band saw with the trash. We stopped, grabbed it, he took it home and checked it out. Turned out it just needed a new blade. He got one and sold the thing.

These are from two separate days recently, my dad and I pulling logs and tree tops out of the woods for firewood.
Driving out to the downed trees. 
Some of the dead ash that were cut down. 
Dragging one of the ash logs to a field. 
Getting ready to start pulling chunks of this downed oak out. 
Pretty sure it was all out at this point.

Still, he would put it in low and let me steer across the field while he loaded tobacco or hay on the wagon. It was so slow, that if I got in trouble, he could just walk to the tractor and help.

Or not? We always referred to it as a high-lift. I think technically you might call it a crawler/loader though? It's a Catepillar 935C. It just gets used for projects around the property and skidding trees and firewood. It's my dad's toy, but it can be handy to have around.
His last one was a John Deere 1010, a fair amount smaller. In some ways the size of the JD1010 was actually better suited for what we use it for. The 935C can be a little bigger than I'd prefer at times. |

I've seen them at auctions before, no one really wants them except guys that have farms. Too slow for quarry work, and too hard to truck for construction. |

If you are referring to the moldboard itself it is called a slat bottom. They scour faster and clean better in certain soils and were kind of popular in my area. Not more common than solid bottoms but you see more of them around here than in most places. A-C and IH are the most common. If you are referring to the hitch it is a full mounted Snap-Coupler plow. I very much prefer it to three point, if you notice my disk and the platform thing (homemade by my grandfather) is snap coupler too. I also have a rotory hoe, a subsoiler and a pallet mover. |

I don't know the model. I need to get some closer photos of it. I don't think it's the same one as yours, for certain. Some of the parts of the side and front look different. It does have the bell shaped thingy underneath (that was always a PITA--I don't know whether it just wasn't working right, or whether it was actually a pita, but I remember fighting with that thing a lot.) Seems like we could put a regular bar on it when we needed to, depending on the length of the tongue of whatever we were pulling. This has been a very long time ago. I'm probably the only member of the family who still remembers how to start that tractor, and even saying that, I would not feel secure as I approached it. Too many years away. It's astonishing what you think you will never forget, but you do. It would have to be muscle memory once I got in the seat. Key on, choke, out of gear, pull the little crank ring thingy. As I'm picturing the sequence, that's what my hands would do. |

As long as the eye that goes into the bell is the right height I have never had a problem hitching. |

That looks a LOT like my dad's tractor. But his could go from tricycle front end, to wide. He always kept it wide. I don't know the specs on that. Hey..Maybe there should be a thread about old tractors! *hint hint* I'm not the one to start it, since I don't have one in my possession at the moment. Just sayin. But I don't want to jack this thread.

I once had a photo of me on my dad's Allis Chalmers that was very much like that (though I was smaller as compared to the tractor). It was one of my favorite photos ever. Wish I still had it. Is the little one (she?) actually steering in low gear? Or just posing? ETA: Y'all keep that stuff up there. Don't be sendin' none o' that down here. Just posing, she will steer on my lap, but won't let me put her on in low. She is still too small for it anyway, since she could easily kick the lever down into high and take off. Once she can reach the clutch the training will start up. For real...training has already started. If she can steer on your lap, she already understands the basics of driving. She will be a better driver just because of that. So...good job Dad!

Mower came off, and the blade went on the front when I had a couple hours Friday. It's just a back-up plan in case the MIL can't handle things with the 4 wheeler, but it should be fun. I threw the chains on the back after I took the picture. I kind of hate them, they have a huge gap by the shackles, but the previous owner tossed them in for free.

I hauled some dirty nasty hay from the barn I used to make my mink trap to the burn pile:
Three point is on: 
My lovely assistant Allis did all she could to impede progress as I wrangled the blade on. 
Blade is on and I am ready for winter: 
I have chains but I save those for special occasions, it gets around pretty good without them for the most part. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By PA452:
We always referred to it as a high-lift. I think technically you might call it a crawler/loader though? It's a Catepillar 935C. It just gets used for projects around the property and skidding trees and firewood. It's my dad's toy, but it can be handy to have around.
His last one was a John Deere 1010, a fair amount smaller. In some ways the size of the JD1010 was actually better suited for what we use it for. The 935C can be a little bigger than I'd prefer at times. My uncle had a 1010 hi-lift and my other uncle, then grandpa, then brother had a 1010 tractor. The tractor was pretty handy, but the hi-lift seemed pretty underpowered for most hi-fiftish jobs. |

Agreed, it was a little under-powered. The size was nice when pulling logs from the woods where you didn't have a lot of space to work. But I do remember if you were digging, while moving forward you could stall or nearly stall the 1010. The Cat 935C on the other hand will never stall, it will just spin the tracks. Probably pretty typical, but I remember when first getting the 935C that difference in power seemed huge. |
