Making a bush canopy for the Abandoned TD9 Dozer & winching over a big leaning tree..

I got this canopy off an old dozer that was off to the scrap yard, It was the wrong size for the TD9 so I had to cut it into sections and rebuild it to suit the TD9. Feels a lot safer winching heavy loads and working in the forest.

Nice to see the ram made the news again. I've notice the sheep seem to be standing about 75 feet directly in front of every new machine that you bring in trying to figure out if they're willing to let it come in. I can't remember if you've done it or not, but I'd love to see a video about where you picked up all of you experience. I'm absolutely amazed at your abilities. As usual, thanks for the video!

[@bobuk5722]

Hi Marty, that cab was very creative, and very sensible. My Dad had stories of men hit by snapped wire ropes. For those who don't know a chain will just drop where it is if it breaks, but it gives no warning. A wire rope thrashes about all over the place as the pent up stretch caused by the tension is released but it does make ominous noises before it fails - can't hear them over a noisy engine though....

[@MartyT]

That winch scared me without having a screen, I've heard some horror stories from loggers and fishermen about snapping cables

[@RangieNZ]

Bob UK, it's a bit of a myth that chains don't recoil - George Saunders caught one on film a couple of days back: kzbin.info/www/bejne/d2qvoZenjMR6o9k

Great video. If you ask anyone online "what do I need to run a paint sprayer?" They will tell you a giant compressor and a spotless garage are mandatory. Nice to see you getting it done with a modest compressor out in the yard. If you get a few extra bucks treat yourself to a plasma cutter. I picked one up last Amazon Prime day for less than $200 USD. I am sure they are more in your part of the world but it would still be worth it.

[@sammiceli7645]

Marty, nice to see that you keep the safety guards on your grinders. I was in the power tool business for 40 years and saw so many people injured because they took the safety guards off their tools [grinders]. When I was given tools [grinders] for repair, the tool after repair was given back to the customer with a safety guard on them. Next time I picked up tools for repair the guards were missing. Stupid way to use a grinder with no safety guard.... So after repair the tools went back with guards on them again. Maybe the customers were just trying to give me extra business by selling guards. I wasn't selling guards so to speak, I was selling safety. Quincy, Massachusetts U. S. A. 12 miles [19km] south of Boston, Massachusetts

[@joeyjojo4506]

Not to mention the mask, have seen guys using grinders all day in an enclosed space. The amount of fine metal and disk particles in the air is full on , and they are just breathing it in.

You probably already check, but every once in a while check the end of the rams horns for curl back into the skull. Easily cut off. I was shephard in Oregon for years and we had this one ornery ram. Found out by chance his problem was his curled back horn and inch into his big head. He remained ornery after it was trimmed and healed though. We called him Badnews, at 350 pounds.

A friend of mine had the big TD (25?) International Harvester ( later Hough) It had the 6 cylinder dual fuel. You use gas to start it, warm it up and flip the lever and it switches to diesel. It was a great machine and far superior to the Caterpillar diesels with that hokey gas starting engine. A TD is a machine worth investing in
