Building the Cabin Road
 

I have some land in the mountains where I plan on building a small cabin soon. I've got my building site all picked out - just need a road to get there.

Been putting together a few implements to help with this task - I've shared them here before on other threads but thought you might like to see them in action.

Here is a cub 149 helping build the cabin road...

Awesome vid! Thanks for sharing.

You're very good at putting together a video!!! It's awesome seeing your cub in action with different attachments. Can't wait to see your cabin when you get it done.

Cub Cadet 123

Nicely done video! Just add some rear wheel weights to it and watch how much more it can do!

Oh I'd love to have a set - would love to see what they can do. I'm thinking weights on the front wouldn't be a bad idea either. Going up the steep slopes on this road lightend the steering to much. Wheels actually came off the ground. (not shown in the video)

I also plan on using the cub to do some logging. I'm working up some ideas for a log dolly. Need something to drag the logs out of the woods. I like the idea of the small tractor - less impact on the land.

Awesome video! Thanks for sharing it with us!

Cool video! Pics are great but videos are so much better. Looks like building that cabin road turned out great; having a reason to play with your cub is even better!

Great video 149 - 498944
Looks like the ripper shank worked good.
I have one, just never used it yet.
I am looking forward to trying it out though :biggrin2:

Great video and fun to watch someone use these little tractors to their potential. My Grand Dad taught me to always crest a dirt/gravel road in the middle to keep from getting mud holes after it rains. Keep up the good work!:beerchug:

Just flat out awesome! Try that with a big box store so called tractor. You Rock! :beerchug:

I want to make a cabin road now! These little tractors are great! That looked like fun, and some good pick'in music in the video too!

Would this help?:Unknown:

That's just awesome! Looks like you have some experience pulling logs around. Looks like it would be fairly easy to fabricate. Any advice?

Thanks all!

Now that I've seen that log skid I'm wondering what else the cub could do?

A front end loader to pick up logs and load onto a portable mill? Power a portable mill?

Here's my brief story about the log skidder. I made it myself.:biggrin2:
The chain is fastened at each corner to help the bend from flattening out. :ThumbsUp:
