I got a wind-fall sallow (or willow?) tree from a neighbor, made a little youtube.
Only in Swedish though, but nothing interesting said, the motor sounds are better

interesting video Göran, thanks for bothering with recording and posting ))
it seems to me that some extra weight on crawler would be beneficial,
pity that load in trailer does not push more on it.
i have some spruce logs left in forest too, maybe i will get them out tomorrow and shoot a video,
if i will find charger for camera.

@Woodrunner Is the boggie moveable on the centre ’pull axle’ to get more forward weight?
If not I think Göran needs to start eating more butter and lard 
Jokes aside, thanks for the videos Göran

Hi and thanks my friends
What you see as slipping is probably me maneuvering, when braking one side these tracked things really makes a mess, slipping and digging.
This was mostly due to a tight 90° turn.
Not saying this little track-tractor is unstoppable, but i really feel it pulls good 
And yes, the axle are movable back and forward, i thought that was needed when i built the long gooseneck drawbar (this is for centering the “pulling point” for easier steering)
Edit: as Johan suggests, i actually doing the opposite now, NOT to loose weight, i like to be fat, but due to trouble with my intestines 
I have to compensate that by carrying more scrap, nuts and bolts and tools in my pockets, to add some weight, the reason i always wear suspenders, as Sean points out in another thread.

The weather forecast is threatening with snow… i had to pick up a load of wood cut-off’s in a hurry.
Chevy truck would not start, starter sounds terrible, i have to check that in daylight, also a battery has gone bad.
What to do?
If there’s all will, there’s a way…
The rest to pick up is under roof, and i may get it later.

i took pictures while taking some leftovers out of the forest.
also tried to record video, but it turned out very underexposed - i picked wrong lens
and stupid camera does not allow more than 1/100 exposition time in video mode.

it is Valmet 903,
produced in 1983.
i would not trade it for 5 belaruses (i can compare, because i have two belaruses too)
