This past weekend was beautiful so me and my buddy took advantage of it and put the Beast along with my Cub named Hoss ! to work cutting and moving some downed trees. (future fire wood) and cleaned up my trails. plus maybe played around a bit !
got a nice haul of wood pulled out and ready to cut and split ! and i'm not sure what i was discussing in this last shot but i'd say it was something very insightful !!

Oh you lucky duck able to go woods romping in March! Lol. Love the Cub, is that a linear actuator I see up front? I also really love your trailer it's an amazing design and excellent work on it (I read the build thread for it a couple months ago), how's it been working and holding up for you?
Looks like you're saying "I'm sure I left my beer right here...." lol

Yeah 74 degrees last sat. it was awesome ! yes it is a linear actuator on the front and i also have one on the rear that runs my three point hitch which i built for it. they work great just a bit slow but they do give me down force. I used to have a winch on the front but couldn't get any down force that way. as for the trailer it's doing great and i have punished it over the last couple years. i've had it way overloaded with concrete and it go's over rough terrain with ease !

I thought this was funny. I was looking through some pics. to find some pics. of my Cub Cadet for my other thread i started (i call it Hoss !) if you look at the upper left you will see a JD. but with closer examination if you look at the tires it is really Beast in disguise ! lol

Would you be willing to do a write up of how you did the camo paint job? I really like it and I’m considering using it on some future projects.

@Rustbucket Garage Well it's been a minute since i did it but not to much to how i did it. I used three or maybe even four rust oleum camo paints dark green, light green, a tan and maybe a darker tan. I'd start with a base in an area like say dark green on one fender and tan on the other. then i'd grab some differant kinds of leaves and use an oppisite color and hold the leaves here and there and spray around it then use another type of leaf and another color sometimes over lapping another leaf and just keep moving around. then in some spots i'd grab some clumps of long weeds and lay them in areas and spray over that. that's about it i got better as i went. the best part about it is you can't really mess it up, if you don't like something just go back over it.
