Quick 23kms 7am walk. Sign says "Hunting area - we hunt with bullets". Fantastic. Still warm so a ginger-tonic cocktail (in iffy cup) was in order...

Yesterday I had to quickly (5 minute verbal explanation) learn how to drive an old agricultural tractor and load it on a transport truck. Exciting stuff for me!

Carefully and very slowly backing up

Had already reached the loading ramp…about 1.5 km from where the tractor was stored. Relief was all I felt.

Job done!!! Truck mostly transports bovines but agreed to split his cargo space with my tractor.

LLBean flannel shirt, IH 634S 14 oz jeans and Scarpa sneakers.

Is it really a Valmet @motojobobo?
How does this Finnish beauty entered your southern hemisphere?
Curious to hear what project do you need this for.

[endo]

somewhat envious, I'd love to have a old tractor @motojobobo congratulations!

River day

@Aetas yep it is a Valmet. This baby is a 1986 model, goes by the 118 model denomination. Valmet produced them in Brazil, under some kind of arrangement between the Finnish company and the government. A buyout of sorts occured much, much later (maybe around the 2000s) and they are now sold under the Valtra brand name.
This guy works at my cattle ranch. It came to town for extensive maintenance work and is now headed back to ranch duty: digging water holes, cutting weeds, fixing farm roads, occasionally spraying weed-control herbicides and very infrequently plowing fields to be re-seeded with new grasses.
@endo you’d love it. They are surprisingly easy to drive (I just found out) and a ton of fun.
I have a second Valmet at the ranch, smaller one, a 88 model (so circa 90 hp). That one is mostly used to haul stuff (wood, wire, poles, and anything that needs moving around the ranch).

Getting ready to leave tomorrow for Vancouver, B.C., then take a cruise into Alaska (one of 3 states I have not been to), which then ends in San Francisco. Returning home 24 Sept.
