Painless Adventure

That turned out to be a simple little deal after we got the toys dug out of the snowbanks.

First, loaded the hay basket and dropped the loader inside it; then just placed the other two heads inside the loader where the tractor normally sets.

Wham, bam, we're done and I had 7 foot of trailer left over.

Okay, lookin' fer a cheap, old tractor to strap 'er on to now. That is, if the little H can get this trailer unloaded. :>)

Where the heck ya been?

Nope, you hit the nail square on the head. They are a killer to mount, no doubt about it. To top it off, I'll have to build the undercarriage frame when I find something to tie 'er to.

We loaded this toy with a huge articulating New Holland 4X4. And, I'm gonna try to pull 'er off of there with a little H?

Oh Brother! Think I'm slippin' over the edge on this one. :>)

Allan

Didn't understand your question, I guess.

When I was a wee lad, we used to hang the front end up on a couple of tall poles with a cross beam. Backed under and into the thing. Had to put it on, take it off at every cuttin' of hay.

Later on, figured out that if ya just have the front end down on the ground and the rear up on some blocks, you can just back the tractor over that front cross beam and still get the mounting irons in and under the rear frame. Gotta keep the struts wired up and out of the way tho.

Nice part is that the whole complete gizmo is only held on by 4 bolts; two at the front struts to the siderails and two at the rear mounting irons to that large U-iron at the bottom of the loader's frame.

Is it for sale? What is it?

Roger in Iowa

The cage is an old hay-cage fer one man's stackin' hay. The yellow gizmo you're looking at is the front end of a dullie gooseneck flatbed trailer.

Yep, he's selling all of that stuff or cuttin' it up for scrap next month.

Email me if you think he would be cheap on the trailer.

Rob

I don't want any commission. You guys help me all the darned time.

Lemme give him a call.

Allan

That's what he said. "Find something else so's ya don't waste a trip".

Only other thing he had that I needed was a 6-ton manure spreader, but I just didn't want to part with that kind of cash today. :>(

Yes, I think the old sister is gonna work just fine. Someday, I'll find an old 656 or 560 to put it on. Until then, it can just set here where the iron man's torch isn't welcome.
