That Toyota gimmes me a hard on.

I have a Renault 70. 14 which I use a skidder pretty much. It works fine for the mostly small trees I have on my property. It has a front loader on it as well which is a great yoke.
Then I have a David Brown 1390 which is my go to general use tractor. Use it to deliver either trailer or transport box loads of firewood.
I had a Fiatagri 45 which I liked (once it stopped breaking down) but it was just to small and light for what I was doing.

Old Toyotas are great.

I keep driving past a Red one for sale And slow Down to check it out.
No price on it he probably wants collectors price for it with a rotted Frame.

Nice pile chipper!

I still have to go out with buckets and pick up the "kindling" from around where I was splitting... That stuff is perfect, for fire starting!

Thanks Rob.
I like to use the black locust bark sometimes in the shoulder season.
In the fall I'll bring in wheelbarrow loads of it .
We burned a lot of splitter litter and bunches of sticks and root balls yesterday .

Here's my firewood tractor. Picked it up for 8K six years ago. Ran good, had low oil pressure at idle, 625 hours on it. Needed a $25 oil pressure relief valve and about 10 hours of work. It's been awesome. Also have a 74" rough cutter and 74" snowblower.

Nice! You’re the only one I’ve seen on here with a tractor approaching the hp of my loader, it’s 160hp. Power is great.

I’ve had lots of stuff not powerful enough, never had anything too powerful.

True.

Most people in my area would have tractors with 100+ horsepower. One guy has a 240 horse Massey.

Pics when it was new. With a clamp on pallet forks on the bucket it works out well for me.

Great series of tractors. I have a 1978 1700 4x4. It's only 23 HP, but it weighs close to 2 tons so it can put power to the ground. The 3 pt. lift capacity on that thing is amazing.

I used the 53 Jubilee today to pull an 18" cherry out to the meadow. 5 more HP, but only 2800 pounds. Did nothing but spin the tires. Took 3 trips with the Jubilee, the 1700 would have done it in one.

I agree, mine is a 1996 model year. It's noisier than new tractors and it smokes a little but it has no emission controls and is all mechanical. Mine weighs in around 5500 pounds with the loader and fluid in the ag tires. Traction is not a problem!

Now I just need a set of chains like this!

Ive never seen a set of chains like that, the circumference pieces aid in the traction.

My little New Holland 1520 with the 3 pt carryall is pretty nimble around our place. I can lug everything I need down to the woods - cut and haul back a load in the bucket and the carryall. Keeps me busy enough.
