Hey again Fireman, I remember that tree picture when it was first posted... but didn't know it was you that put it up, though. When I went to the Furr auction about a month ago, there were lots of implements and things that had trees growing up through them- some of them really large and twisty as the merged in and around the iron. I had to laugh- the folks doing the auction had cut the TOPS off of all the trees and removed all the growth surrounding the items... but a lot of the STUMPS were still connected to the ground! It's enough work getting old iron home without having to carry a saw with you as well! If you're really worried about that JD- you could sever the trunk of the tree. Of course it would sprout again from the stump, but at least it would have to make it back up to steering wheel level before it started doing damage to the tractor again. My "daily driver" SC sat for 12 years under a tree. It was in heavy canopy shade, so the trees never grew on it. It was completely surrounded by briars, though. They had run from the drawbar all the way up under the hood. I had to cut them into 3 foot sections to pull them all loose. I'm sure I've still got those little "clinger" roots glued to the tractor in a couple of places I haven't found yet. (grin) Have a good night, -Schotte
