I got this thing to be a workhorse around Cheesy Manor and to get rid of the oil burner Troy-Bilt tractor left by the previous owner. The tractor is listed on Freecycle right now. If there is no action on it by Friday, it’s going on Marketplace.

The ATV is doing all I ask of it. Last week, I picked up a five gallon bucket worth of dropped apples and hauled those out to the woods. I’ve done this with the Ural, but that’s always has been a bit dicey as it’s wider than the trail and the skinny tires find all the ruts. I feel like I’ve done fifty push ups by the time I get back to the house. The ATV didn’t care.

Today, I used the ATV with a tow strap to straighten out the lean on one of our smaller apple trees. It complained a bit because there is no reverse in low range(note to self, go the other way in the future) but it got the job done.

I just now need the figure out how to raise the trailer hitch a couple inches.
