firewood tractors

It looks to be a 654?
It looks like a four spool winch.

Yep Gypo Ford County 6.

That pic almost looks like a painting. Great photography.

Well I finally got myself a firewood (and for other things) tractor
It's a 2007 Massey Ferguson 1540, very nice shape, low hours of only 700, quick attach bucket and rear tire chains. It's a shuttle shift. I love it so far, been using it for work, it is great having the forks on it for moving supplies around the job site. I'm a builder. The only thing I am going to have to do is get the rear tires loaded. I think this option is better than having an impliment on the rear or maybe a weight box of some sort. I don't own any attachments yet so maybe the weight box is the way to go? Concrete filled barrel.
I'll try to post some pics in the near future.

Rear forks and a home made tote box to fit on them is just fabulous for going out scrounging. Plenty of rear weight once it is full of wood!

I use my tractor mainly as a loader tractor so I do have fluid filled tires. It does make a big difference. There is a skidding boom on the 3 pt most of the time which adds even more weight. I am able to pick up entire trees up to around 20" breast height with the grapple & move them around instead of dragging. The cleaner I can keep the wood, the more my chains appreciate it.

Loaded rear tires are great, but doesn't take the place or do the same as ballast on the 3 pt hitch. I use both.

Thanks, I just looked at it. If I win could you drive it to the border for me? Lol

 

[dave_dj1]

Well I did get the rear tires loaded with Rimguard, not cheap but I think for safety reasons it's good to have. I am thinking I will build carry all type rear forks and a weight box that attaches to it.
Thanks for the advice.

Been working on some clearing so a guy has a view from his cabin. Love getting full trees.

Our new firewood tractor. Built a nice brush guard for it too before we wiped out the front end.

FLRA Dave , some closeups of the trailer would be nice , including the axle beam setup
