Poconoeagle, there is some funny *censored* going on up there in Tobyhanna. Maybe that’s what they look like the morning after a bender?

Pocono,

I spend most of the day on my 316 cutting the too-tall grass (twice) until my buddy from down the road showed up on his Wheel Horse with his cooler on board. That was the end of cutting the grass.

I've recovered now...

It's always more fun watching the grass grow than cutting it. 8-)

Apparently I've got this thing about the numbers 2, 3, 1 and 0. In that order.
  • Here I go ...
  • My favorite coal stove is the Vigilant II model 2310, in case you haven't noticed!
  • To stay within this thread's topic, I guess I had to get this Massey Ferguson GC2310TLB. It's not GREEN, it's RED, just like the glow from my other 2310 :D It came with a Markham Welding tooth bar on the FEL and a canopy that I took off last night before the ride home.I need to find a 54" mid mount mower for it.

    My new-2-me ;05 Massey Ferguson GC2310 TLB!

    .JPG | 237KB | GC2310 001.JPG
  • Continuing with the list, 1 well used and still kicking 1967 Massey Ferguson MF10 used for mowing and leaf collecting w/a Cylcone Rake. It's rainy today so no pics.
  • 1 well used and still kicking 1969 Massey Ferguson MF10 used for mowing and leaf collection.
  • One 1965 Gravely L8 that I use with: Arman McCeseck(sp?) shredder-grinder, rotary plow and cultivator, utility scoop, 30" brush hog, 48" dozer blade, dog-eater snow blower(cannon!), dual wheels and finally a 1,000 Lb capacity wooden cart with roller-rest. Oh yeh, and a sulky!
Is there something wrong with me? Okay, don't answer that one. I have a feeling I'm not alone on that bus! :roll:

Hey Dave, I like that line.... you HAD to get it, huh? :D :D
Very nice! :up:
Wow! Those are some aggressive Bucket teeth on the loader, good for ripping out rocks and roots.

Yes, can't wait till it dries out a bit so I can play with it. I've got a few piles of dirt a friend dropped off last year that I want to try the Markham Welding tooth bar on. As long as there's enough weight to keep the tires digging in, I should be able to pick away at it.
