Re: trailfire cutter
Something based on a older jd 300 hood as the front would be interesting, maybe a little odd towed by a fire series but food for thought...

Re: trailfire cutter
Here's one I made out of a much abused Sportfire. The kids were pretty little then & they thought they were really big stuff on that.

That was my first "go round" with that thing. The axle was way too far back. The Liquifire did OK with it. I pulled it with a F/A el Tigre once. That didn't go well; cost me a piston.JDT wrote:Holy Tongue Weight Batman!

Not sure if I have any more pictures. It went when I sold my Deere sleds & stuff years ago. I do currently have the Liquifire back in the barn.
