Bobcat Returns

After a winter stored near Apsley, our "Bobcat" came home yesterday. Technically, we should call it a "skid-steer" but everyone calls them "bobcats".

It was well looked after and all the services are up-to-date, (thanks Dave) so now it's time to get to work; and these babies are designed to work and work long and hard.

Here she is being delivered to our yard, and I'm anxious to get it unloaded and see if I remember how to operate it..

Up here, we cut wood, wood, and more wood...............................................................

but once the trees are down and limbed, the bobcat takes over and hauls the logs over to the wood pile. The "grapple bucket" makes moving the logs so easy, even Mary enjoys working the bobcat.

Here Mary moves a load of gravel to build a new lane across our property.

It really is a versatile piece of equipment which makes our job of clearing bush so much easier.  With the regular bucker and forks which attach so easily I know we will be keeping it busy as we build the house.

I'm off to Peterborough for a few days and will report back on Monday.

Safe travels and stay warm
