Today was a work day at the home and the 1952 8N Ford was pressed into service. We were cutting cedar trees, well actually one tree, and found some limbs were hard to pull away from the tree due to grape vines. Some of the vines were easily 1 ½ inches or more in diameter. A solution was to bring out the tractor. A strap was hooked onto the limb and then onto the bar across the 3 point hitch. I found first gear was needed to get enough slow traction to pull the encumbered limbs free of the tree. Pic 1195 shows the tree behind the tractor. Pic 1197 shows a side view. I need to lose weight. The temperature was probably ninety degrees at the time.
