I use a 383 MF with a front end loader and a 16' trailer.
How do you get your saws to the wood?

looks good! that rebar looks to be strong enough! lol...
I like seeing the tow tug with the chains on, for snow I assume? whatz under the silver tarp? '37 Ford coupe?...
I like the N H... note the mower underneath... nice!
Only one that size that could run a belly mower and a longer backhoe. We have always been Case people but love this 38hp New Holland.
nice pix, nice presentation... enjoyed seeing your woodlot logging ops. thanks!! I can feel the late afternoon's coolness in ur last pix - trailer, equip and chunks!
I recently picked up a N H 1530. 35 hp. bucket, box blade. 50 hrs on it. mint and stored in garage always, well kept, serviced. I noticed on L side by operator a control lever space but lever missing. contacted the N H dealer that originally sold the tractor... its for the belly mower. said they don't sell a lot of them with the underbelly mowers. so those controls not std. nary a scratch... but get this... the PTO had never driven nor the tractor ever pulled a shredder!!! I have asked nearly a million people... ever see a Texas tractor (in this size) that never pulled a shredder... I have yet to get a yes!! lol... when I went to look at it wanted to see it run the PTO, so cover off, and rpms up... seller says... oh oh... omg, i have never had it over 2,000 rpms! cream puff all the way. he bot it for 1.5 acres!
I like mine very much, too. sure has expanded my ways of taking better care, do more work up at my farm... haul wood. I see at least 3 generations... your wood ops looks like a family affair!! my N H hauling some wood:

strap one or two saws on the front rack. Bar oil and gas on the back. Ax behind the seat, can't hook in the trailer and tools, chains, and wedges in the glove box. Works pretty well. Got a few trailers to

Heres how i get my stuff to hush. Sometimes have a little wagon too but saws alwas get out on rack so they dont bang around. Usually a rifle too but left it in truck that day.

I like to haul the bird to the location then I can scout for the exact trees I'm looking for and drop my equipment where I need it
Seriously if I'm working on my property I just through it all in the bucket and haul a load back then come get my equipment. If I'm bringing a big twig back to my place to cut it up, I just put what I need in the bucket. A front end loader is a great tool and hard not to use once you get in the habit of using it. I have a box set up for my saw, gas, oil chains, and other stuff I just haven't set it up for this tractor yet.
This trailer we built to pull behind my brother's Ranger work well, but we do all our cutting right here on the farm.
That's a great picture, and all the girls seam to be getting along except the one party pooper hanging in the truck.
My BIL has a basement full(literally 28cord
) of hickory, all that was hauled by the "Danger Ranger". It's got over 300K and he still drives it every day, and it always has a load in the bed, including everything he needs to cut a load of wood(to stay on topic LOL).

Just want to throw out a little PSA to the guys who are skidding logs without a proper setup (i.e. dragging it on the ground with a chain). Ya'll need to be careful when doing this! There was a local guy killed fairly recently when a skidded log got hung up on a root or something and the chain snapped. It nearly took his head off from what I hear.
Carry on, fellas.
Carry on, fellas.
Just have to think creatively. You can shove/wedge stuff all over in those racks to provide easy access and safe carry.clever storage area for your bottle of bar lube... just noticed it! will have to try it out...

Thats pretty scary stuff. I do most my cutting where it falls but i do have a log cart that hold the one end of the log up. Dont have any pics of it. Will have to take pics when at bush next.
