I have a shorty 3-point boom, I might be able to lift the rear of the ranger (and as a result, adding weight to the rear of the tractor) I might try to see how much chain I have to get the tractor on the most solid ground possible. Wish our old oliver 1650 was still around, plenty of weight, tourque & gearing. You stick that one though and youve got big problems!
Yeah on pics, that was the last thing on my mind, its on my parent’s property, back where some really old implements are. Was wanting to see if the old 8’ double cultipacker was still there. Didn’t realize it would be so wet back there. Drove along the ditch line just fine, pulled into the area where all the trees surround a clearing and it got soupy quick. The extra weight in the bed was no help. Only about 6 miles from where Im living, I could pull the flatbed there with the ford tractor and if im successfull load the tractor on the trailer & pull it home with the ranger. I dont think the ranger wheelbase will fit on the trailer, the tractor barely does. Hope the forecasted rain holds off. If I didnt need to be at work tomorrow for mondays holiday pay I would call off.
Ironically I have no idea if that old cultipacker is there, so much brush had grown up. I hadnt been back in there in about 6 years.
