John Deere Classic 420 Garden Tractor with Grapple Moving Heavy Maple!

This is how I put my classic JD 420 Garden Tractor to work in the summer time, hauling heavy maple logs up a steep slope to my fire wood processing area. It's one of my machines that allow me, with a tender back, to still burn wood in the cold Vermont winters and maintain my heavily wooded property.
I do love my machines. Enjoy, Steve.

I have a John Deere 420 and it is one of my favourite garden tractors I have a collection of six of them

Thank you 🤗

Dude, the tractor and video angles are awesome. Some narration to cover your thoughts as you go would put it over the top.

Thanks James! It's appreciated that somebody recognizes the thought and effort that goes into producing an interesting video. Steve.

Why wouldn't you split the wood with a 420 hydraulic attachment, then use the grapple to load into a trailer and haul to your house with the 420 to be used for firewood?

1. I have a hydraulic wood splitter already. 2. JD wood splitters are very expensive. 3. The grapple I have does not lift high enough to put wood into any trailer. Good thoughts though.
