I was out "logging" Laughing

today. Dragging some nice alder trees out that the snow storm collapsed this winter. Since the newer tractor (its a late 50s model) currently needs an oil change(full of water from sitting outside all winter) I fired up the antique. It's a 1939 farmall M. Top speed 16.2mph, 26hp 4cylinder, 1495rpm redline, and will pull 4200lbs in 1st gear.. Talk about gearing! It's kinda fun. At one point I was pulling 4 logs and the thing didnt even grunt. These are the tree tops in the pic. Laughing
