So, on our homestead I am a bit of a tool junkie,,,,,, and we have some equipment. We also have a landscaping business so we have some equipment to support that as well. I also happen to call my equipment by weird names, think The Mason Williams Phonograph Album, kings panties….
So I will go through and introduce you to some of the equipment and if you have any questions on the why or why not something else, please ask.
So this is TAK or TAK TAK. She is Hanna’s Takeuchi TL140 Compact Track Loader. She is about an 80 horse machine and weighs about 10k lbs. She is used extensively in the landscaping business as well as all around the homestead. She can lift and work with about 3000 lbs and can probably lift about 4000 lbs carefully.
She is showing here sporting her large tooth bucket and she has a variety of attachments that go on her quick attach front end. We have a variety of buckets and tools that go on there, and there are always more that we have not bought yet.
I am constantly on the lookout for new and used attachments that will make our work easier and I am sure I will be posting about our desires and upcoming purchases, and the ongoing maintenance that is required when operating this type of equipment.
