That's a wonderful collection of machines, thanks for posting the photo..

The Pro 7000 looks like it could make a mess of someones ankles if they stood in the way!   Bet it chops it's way through the bush with no problems :D

 

That's a beautiful location you live in by the way :)

Reminds me of my old neighborhood as a child. I had a old Gravely on each side of me with the brushhog mowers and sulkies. Those things used to howl every Sat. morning. One guy had the dog eater snowblower that threw the snow over the power lines and across the road. :lol:

Hello

 Thank you, Squonk, for this nice movie. The tractor is a Custom from the mid 70s and the snow blower or dog eater is  named "quare chute" (you understand why) and is from the 50's.

 BOth are in a wonderful restoration.

 Myself I use a snowplow

Hello Neil

 I have the second ad that you show.

 If somebody, in Great Britain is able to find a "Gravely Junior Tiller" He is able to enter the Guinness book!!

Might be the same here, as I've never heard of any walking tillers made by Gravely. The only unit found here are the ones mounted to the front of the power unit. There used to be a lot of Gravelys here back in the 70's. Most of them mowed only as they didn't have any ground clearance and didn't make the best choice for cultivators work. My father had an LI, with a sulky, brush mower, rotary plow, but we only used it for lawn work.
