        Yesterday I had to quickly (5 minute verbal explanation) learn how to drive an old agricultural tractor and load it on a transport truck. Exciting stuff for me!

        Carefully and very slowly backing up

        Had already reached the loading ramp…about 1.5 km from where the tractor was stored. Relief was all I felt.

        Job done!!! Truck mostly transports bovines but agreed to split his cargo space with my tractor.

        LLBean flannel shirt, IH 634S 14 oz jeans and Scarpa sneakers.

        The journey is the objective.

          Is it really a Valmet @motojobobo?
          How does this Finnish beauty entered your southern hemisphere?
          Curious to hear what project do you need this for.

                @Aetas yep it is a Valmet. This baby is a 1986 model, goes by the 118 model denomination. Valmet produced them in Brazil, under some kind of arrangement between the Finnish company and the government. A buyout of sorts occured much, much later (maybe around the 2000s) and they are now sold under the Valtra brand name.
                This guy works at my cattle ranch. It came to town for extensive maintenance work and is now headed back to ranch duty: digging water holes, cutting weeds, fixing farm roads, occasionally spraying weed-control herbicides and very infrequently plowing fields to be re-seeded with new grasses.
                @endo you’d love it. They are surprisingly easy to drive (I just found out) and a ton of fun.
                I have a second Valmet at the ranch, smaller one, a 88 model (so circa 90 hp). That one is mostly used to haul stuff (wood, wire, poles, and anything that needs moving around the ranch).

                The journey is the objective.

                    Not necessarily today as I’m spending the day resting at home sleeping. But for the last 6 weeks been traveling to a neighbor island for work.

                    For those that don’t know, I live on the island of Oahu which is an overpopulated island. Lots of transplants wanting to push their agenda. Military has done their job effing up everything. Traffic always bad, & neighbor islanders who visit Oahu for medical or other reasons complain everyone is mean. I always apologize cuz the real ones ain’t mean assholes. The real ones are always loving. We know who they are the instant we talk to them. The sad thing is that problem doesn’t exist on other islands. As someone who travels for work and play, it’s evident. Not going deep into it, but here’s some shots of the easy going-ness
