Nice pic.

How do you lift those round bales, is there a special fork for the tractor to do that?

 

[w250guy]

Used a skid steer with a bale spear on it, which is basically just a big piece of round stock sticking straight out, and we used an excavator with a thumb to take them off

Hey guys, haven't been active over here in a couple years but I'm glad to see my Uses for Deuces thread is still alive and well after nearly 10 years. Keep them coming!

Have you been up to anything special?

Or is it the old story of "no news is good news"?

I'm running a New England club called Granite State Iron Cavalry, I'm mostly on the Facebook groups now. I've got a lot of great guys who have extensive know-how on most MV's. I tend to go to them first with issues before coming to SS but it's nice to return to my roots and check in on the place from time to time!

Rearranging semi trailers.

Rearranging semi trailers.

Nice pics, thanks!

That Methodists trailer looks WAY over 53 foot, but maybe it's just the angle.

How long is that thing overall?!

It seemed really long when I was maneuvering it too, probably cause the axles are slid all the way to the rear.
But it and the Mayflower are actually the same length at 48'. I didn't measure the total length with the deuce hooked to it.

Are you collecting those classic trailers?
What are you going to do with them?


Luv the pics!

Ive always wanted to turn a moving trailer into a toy hauler setup. Still may one day.

 

[M109a3RV]

Camping with 2 motorcycles in the trailer. I make my buddy sleep in the trailer which also has beds and heater.

I've always had a warm spot in my heart for the m109s

I guess I am collecting them, but not because they're classics. They're used for storage. I usually end up getting one here or there if it's cheap enough. I only gave $100 for the Mayflower, but I had to work for it. It had been used for storage behind a business for 15 years, all the tires were rotted, the landing gear had been torched off, and it was sunk in the mud almost to the frame. Spent a day jacking it up and changing the tires, chained up the bad axle, got the neck up high enough to back under it, and used the deuce to pull it out of the mud and around to the parking lot where a wrecker could hook on to it.

Unfortunately I don't have any pictures of this part cause it was about 0100 in the morning when I pulled it out.
