I guess I should post this also. Last month my neighbor rented a cherry picker lift to cut down some dead trees that were overhanging our houses. To get to one of his trees we had to get the machine into his upper back yard. This was up a short steep dirt ramp. then an immediate right turn to get past a couple big trees. His pickup would not fit, so the plan was to use my 2084 to pull it the ramp.
When he got home from the rental yard I saw a problem - the thing weighed 3800 lbs and was 25-ft long! No way I could pull that up.
Plan B: Using the pickup we backed it up the ramp as far as we could get it, which wasn't much.
Then I backed my Cub against a tree on the other end of that upper yard. I ran a strap around the tree and attached it to the Cub's tow hitch. Then I ran my winch cable from the front down to the machine. It sucked it right up where we needed it without breaking a sweat.
It was a bit hairy coming back down with it but it worked out.
This 2084 is sure earning it's keep!
Now if I could just figure out how to get my pics rotated
