It sure made it easier to move the scaffolding around the barn and a landing zone for building materials.

Its been more like a year and a half. Bought another 20 acres and have been developing the property doing almost everything myself. Well, septic, electric lines and a 50' X 80' X 16' high barn. Put in a 12' wide by 14' high door so I can bring the 813 inside to work on instead of working out...

I drove the snowplow Blazer down last fall and staged it to plow snow. The transmission wouldn't engage so it was parked all winter. Tried to start it this summer and the starter went out. So I finally got some free time and got a friend to steer it while I towed it back up several miles of...

14.00 X 20's. I got a deal on three spares tires off the rims and kept mounting them myself which was getting tiring. They call these the Rocky Mountains for a reason. I caught a large rock between the tracks of my Cat D-7 dozer and it was large enough to peel the tracks off the sprockets...

After having three of the super singles blow out on me I let the truck sit for the winter. Found a set of 11.00 X 20 G177 with lug nuts while on my honeymoon. Unfortunately I had parked the truck too far back in the woods and didn't have power out there to air up the super singles or to run...

I had a 14.00 X 20 tire blow out on my truck while I was driving. Did a lot of damage to the mud flap. I doubt that a fuel can would have survived if it had been mounted there. I had enough rubber pieces to pick up off the road. Wouldn't want to have to clean up a fuel spill too.

Pulled the generator and air compressor out to the truck and aired up the tires so I could take it for a drive. It froze last night so it took a little starting fluid to get it running. Parked it in a new spot that I dozed out so its out of the way of our turn around spot. Life on the side...

Are you doing the rear also? I was thinking the same thing. I've blown 3 of the 14.00 tires so far and am down to my last spare. How much did new tires run?

You may want to talk with the paint manufactures to see what they say about their product and if it will or will not work on the canopy. I would think that it would have to be a very flexible rubber type paint if it was going to stick to the canopy and not crack and fall apart and would...

I am leaving my 813 up on the mountain for the winter and it probably will be snowed in until June. The tires get pretty low when parked that long so I jacked up every tire and put logs under the axel to support the weight. I should have 5 or 6 feet of snow up there in a month or so. The 813...

I drove the 813 down the mountain BEFORE the snow hits. There I a little snow right above me and water is freezing and staying frozen all day long. I made the mistake a few years ago waiting too long and drove down the steep trail on ice. Not a fun trip as we slipped and skidded. I parked...

Have you thought about getting a 3/4" impact gun? Sure makes it a lot easier and faster. Did you mount your tires on the rims yourself? I spray the threads with WD 40 and let them soak, then hit them with the impact gun and they come off easier. I took one wheel apart with a 6' breaker bar...

I had a load of wood to haul off the mountain and had a tire blow out 3 miles away from where I needed to deliver the wood. There is a reason they call these the Rocky Mountains, they sure eat tires. The tire was destroyed, so I used the blade and bucket on the excavator to help pull off the...

Does this have a temperature rating where it will freeze? I have BEET juice in the tires of one of my tractors and its rated down to -40*. I wouldn't want a big frozen chunk of something spinning around inside the tire.

I finished loading it with wood. The snow from September has not melted and lots of ice on the road in the shade. I have to drop down 3000' on a single lane road with lots of cliffs. So tomorrow I'll get a ride up and bring the truck down for the winter. I've slide down the road in other...

We got about 2 feet of snow up at my place last week. Its melted down to about 1 foot now of heavy icy snow. I finally hiked up and got the dozer to plow the road open so I can get my truck down with a load of wood. I came down with 4 cord of wood before in the ice and it was not fun. I am at...

I was hauling up a load of wood and blew a tire on a single lane dirt road. I got the tire off and broke a socket taking the rim apart. The tire was destroyed so I used the excavator to break the bead loose. Much easier than what the tire shops use. Tomorrow I'll see if I can find a new O...

You would hate Montana then. I walked into the Courthouse where the DMV is located and walked out 5 minutes later with the license plates in my hands and the title arrived in the mail about 3 weeks later. I tagged mine as a farm vehicle since I use it logging and add more GVW to the basic...

The second link does not work. Do you have another link available?

I finally got my 813 running right so I can start using it. I have thousands of dead trees that I am clearing off my property. The lumber mills say my place is too remote and the roads too rough, so I am hauling all the wood off myself. Tires of tearing up pickups, so hopefully I can get it...
