Here's my last look at the 770, chained to a flatbed off to upstate NY and new digging adventures. The new owner needs something this size, I needed more muscle.

Yes, sorry to see it go, but still..

You should have kept it...One can NEVER have TOO MANY TRACTORS...

I used to own an ant farm but had to give it up. I couldn't find tractors small enough to fit it.

I made a promise to myself, next life I'll be a tractor hoarder, for now I'll suffer deep under this mask of serenity, yes it's a facade but I must fool myself and hide the pain til it passes..

It's okay really, yes It'd be nice to have it all, but the L35 is just a better machine for my needs, and stable, it hits the potholes and low spots with little to no clenching.

Until I need a bigger tool it's perfect for me.

Besides..I like not owing money.

I still have a L35, a IH 2424, and several garden tractors (3). I'll survive...

Hi Fred, all I can do is show you some before shots (my future horse arena looks like this now) in the first picture you can clearly see the tree that stays. The one with the rock and rake in front of it. Eight feet to the right will be the round pen and five of those stumps will be gone by the end of this busy weekend. ~ I hope ~
The wife wants me to do some finishing touches on the chicken house saturday morning (pic #3). Lots of chicken wire to run, and a few holes to fill, and one chicken door to cut.

The natural grieving progression allows for some denial.

Okay back on thread.

I had hoped to have the other stumps removed by today but got side tracked. The chickens need to move outside by wed. or thursday, so we ran chicken/rodent proof fencing around the main fence and pilled rocks and gravel along the inside perimeter, made a chicken door and a little ramp for them, and painting. Anyhoo...worked from 9am to 5 saturday on that. I'll post a finished product picture when we're done. The building we're using is some old well built insulated storage shed, have to stoop way down to enter.

On sunday morning shopping needs occupied us til 1pm. Then I rested til 3 .

Finally I went to work........, well almost, my grapple showed up a few days ago and durring the work week I had hoses made up and bought couplers. This is from the day it showed up. Had to swap with the bucket.


I got it installed in no time at all with quicktach on the loader. I did get two stumps dug up, but feel I should have more to show for a sunny weekend. The last attachment is a short video my wife made of me moving a rock, tried to pick up two at once, but the other rolled out the side, so I ended up with a losided load. For every stump dug up I get at least one monster rock, often two to four big'uns the grapple is going to be a grand addition, love it.
