It really can pull stumps

Post by CTgreen »

So today my M37 earned it's keep a little bit, in my wife's eyes. I used it to pull a stump left from a tree broken by a winter storm. I have used my M1008 in the past to pull a stump, and I could feel it working...although it wasn't working too hard. This one came out so easy I thought the chain had slipped off! The M37 sure has some pulling power. H.

PLENTY OF PULLING POWER!!! I GOT A COUPLE VIDEOS DOING JUST THAT, BUT MY INTERNET CONNECTION LEAVES A LOT TO BE DESIRED. I CAN NOT EVEN POST PICTURES UNLESS I DO NOTHING ELSE ALL DAY.

My wife said something really unusual tonight as she came home. She said "That sure is a cute truck, it looks older than 1953". In shock, I said "You like it?" She said yes, and that it looks like I am having fun when I drive it. All I can say is....... Wow!

If she called it "cute" then you'll probably be allowed to keep it. It MAY also mean the truck (and you) have been forgiven and you may be able to spend money on it now (instead of just time).

Congratulations! :D
