What a machine

Now I know this site is for praise of the rtvs how ever I must show off my stihl equipment also. I tell ya between the kubota and stihl's I have it sure makes life alot easier. This picture is the base of the branch where it meets the tree. And beleave it or not my chainsaw did not cut that branch off.I did with my weed whip pruner accessorie. 12" diameter just as big as the bar on the pruner.</p>
 
I really want to know if any one has put more brush in the back than this. And beleave it or not I did not lose a single branch while moving it. P.S. Two Gunns may you should do that with yours for hunting season think about it a mobile blind.</p>
 
Well here is my machine helping me out with so tree trimming hope you alllike the pictures. I will post more when I get another fun project going.</p>
 
This past weekend I put about half that much brush in my new 1100, but I did 4 loads. I didn't mind, as I was just enjoying driving around and getting used to the hills, gears, 4wd, and dump box. Had a great time, and still got 2 or 3 times the amount of work done I would have got done without it. I hardly broke a sweat. The RTV also carried 20 concrete blocks, more blocks, and several loads of wood, plus some garbage. Pretty soon my wife will be driving it up and down the hills too. Pics hopefully this weekend.</p>


I should have some mirrors soon too. Ordered them today.</p>

Are you sure you didn't tie down the branches to the bed? That would be cheating!!! Sure is a moveable blind, as long as there aren't any thorns in that brush (ouch!).</p>

The tree just adds to the camo... the whole thing blends right into the yard.</p>

I decided to go with these:</p>

My local NAPA dealer says he can have them there in 3-4 days at $35 each (one for each side). When I get them on, I'll send pics of the install, probably back in my original thread about mirrors.</p>

Robuta, I'm impressed with your work ethic and ability to use your machine for work projects and pleasure but I've got to ask one question. I looked at all the pictures, zoomed in and out on all the shots and I still can't figure out what kind of tree that is!!! I know I getting older and the eyes ain't what they used to be but just for the sanity of one old guy, tell me what that is. I'm going to guess honey locust (thornless hybrid) but tell me if I'm right or not, please. Thanks, Oldforester</p>
 
Doug,</p>


That looks like the perfect size mirror for our RTV's and black too. I will be real interested in seeing how they work and look when you get them installed.</p>

You guessed right honey locust, however it makes the huge bean pod. It is a very pretty tree and has lots of shade but I hate clening up those bean pods in the fall.</p>
 
Doug,</p>


The mirrors look really great.......I hope you can adjust them to your door or the post bolts..........I would send for them today if I knew they would fit perfectly...........I am going to go to a big NAPA warehouse today and look at some mirrors.........WIll let everyone know my findings..............</p>

There's nearly always some drawback to having a tree in the yard, like downed limbs, seeds or leaves but we can't live without 'em and the benefits far outweigh the problems. Anyway it is a pretty good choice for a yard tree even with the fruit issue! I was just happy that I guessed right on the species. Good luck with the RTV, I'vehad a similar model for a year and just love it on the farm.</p>
