how about a Oklahoma,AR,MO,KS,TX,+IA GTG thread?

I had a to-20 Ferguson....they are not live pto, and they aren't geared low enough for running a tiller unless you find one with the Sherman reduction installed.
It should work fine for a pto chipper, but they're not the greatest for running a bush hog mower because the pto and three point start at the same time, so the mower starts spinning before it's off the ground.... It works, just not really well.

Imo, a Massey Ferguson 35 is a much more versatile machine, live pto, and geared low enough for tilling, and some models even have power steering.

IMHO live PTO is a great asset on any implement.

It was only 95 here, but for some reason it felt a lot worse... humidity I suppose.

How'd you skidsteer boom extension work out, I think I remember you saying y'all were making it longer for setting the trusses.

Fixt from my perspective.

That will make a nice hanger for gutting & skinning deer.

Slick!

Bobcat handled it fine, but no way would my tractor handle it without some ballast.

But we were able to lift the trusses up and over the 20’ poleswithout having to telescope it out.

What does your bobcat weigh, and what's the rated life capacity at the bucket?

Pound for pound, tractor loaders are pretty wimpy.....but they still sure beat doing stuff by hand.

Bobcat weighs 12,000 pounds..

It’ll lift close to 6000 pounds. If I recall correctly.

That's a big skidsteer.
If I ever get rich enough I'd like to get a 8k or 10k pound tracked skidsteer, those things will work circles around a tractor for our application of moving logs /lumber around the mill and logging.

Decided to get it. Besides running very nice what sold it was the new tires. Plus the fact it came with a rear blade, 2 bottom plow, cultivator and a 5 foot brush hog. Guy I got it from said his Grandfather bought it new, then his father got it, then son got it.
It’s been in the same family the whole time.

Preliminary it looks to be a 1950.
Not bad shape for 72 years old.

Even better for one that's 73 years old.

Looks pretty good.

Neat that it was a one family machine.

Looks just like the to20 I had.

Most parts can be had for those tractors, so keeping it running shouldn't be a problem.

They do start amazingly easy...my Massey Ferguson 35 will start without the choke in freezing weather, usually about 1/2 second on the starter and she's running.

May have use for that cultivator..
What’s it look like?

Looks like @67L36Driver is hoarding the rain again, it’s all heading his way.

Yup, just started. Didn’t even leave the van windows down.

Prognosticators call for near 1/2”.
