That looks like it has some pulling power.
That thing is sweet! Gonna pull some wood I think.

Some models of those have hollow "up side down" U frames and won't take a lot of abuse, you may want to check that out so you don't break it in half as I've seen picts of two of them broken.
I've always passed on buying them, because the couple I looked at, didn't have live power...
They do look neat though...

Cool looking tractor. What is it exactly? I have always wanted a Pusquali but they are non existent around these parts.
I wonder if Tractordata has any info on it?
Enjoy, looks like you've got yourself a helper there too

I am very happy with the Ford 6600. This is what we achieved last week hauling logs out for 1/2 the day, and splitting the other half. Temperatures was between 36 an 42 degrees C, not very comfortable, but it means that split wood is well below 18% in just 4 weeks.

Is a cool looking old tractor, Joe.
Rob, is the frame something you could box to heavy up, or too much work for too little result? It's cool enough that if I found one running I'd bring it home, now that I know what to look for. Or, maybe I should just stick to my old Massey's, Joe.
Modifying a tractor from without input from an engineer seems a little dangerous. I especially wouldn't take input from rarefish. He seems to have difficulty understanding how a longer lever arm can apply more torque with the same force applied. Pretty simple concept- just compare the twisting effort needed with a 4' peavey vs a 6' peavey. Oh, and he says he can't remember stuff

Hey, whoa whoa whoa, you guys can do whatever you want in your other thread, but keep this junk out of the tractor thread
Is this thing articulating ?
you tell 'em Ryan.

give it a break dude. nobody want to hear your BS. if they did your other thread wouldn't have got locked. sorry tractor guys had to do it. some pics of the New Holland TC 55 DA haulin some wood in the rock bucket a few weeks ago. 4 buckets make about a 1/2 cord.Other thread got locked down. Moving it over here...
Give what a break? It was pretty clear I was joking! Relax.
That tractor looks pretty sick. I’ve always like the way those New Holland’s looked. I looked up the specs...55 ponies?? 2 thumbs up.

I think a big part of the problem is, the frames are some kind of cast and just don't take much abuse from twisting ect...

No but it’s 4 wheel steering turns pretty darn sharp
Cool, I dig your funky tractors and skidders.
Ya i like all the weird stuff. It’s like a museum at my place.
Hauled a little firewood today. I have some HD stake pocket poles on order, that will ease my mind a bit. Really happy with my set up.
