OK, I am sold. I will have to try some malted frozen confections. I usually go with the quick and easy Ben and Jerry's pint.
Don't know the weight of the soda fountain. I have only handled it with the forklift. I imagine it could weigh 1500 lbs when full of product.
Power steering is in my plans. The Standard Treads use a drag link that is fitted with a hydraulic cylinder and integral spool valve. When the pitman arm moves, the appropriate internal port is opened and extends or retracts the piston. I have this IH system on both my 650 and 660 although they do not interchange. I have been looking for the W400-W450 system. I will probably buy an aftermarket unit. I have seen them priced at $350 and $500. I wonder if they will have enough push/pull to do the job. It is low priority at the moment. The units look easy to attach to any drag link type steering.
As for the wet bar, no thanks. That's a whole basket full of complications I can do without. But the LP tractor fuel could run a grill but that is years away. It would also mean I would be saddled with a payroll. Yuck.
I built a fast hitch for the back end of the tractor. It currently has a large military winch hanging off the back. That will come off and be replaced with something like a hot water tank heated by the engine through a heat exchanger. I have several SS tanks and heat exchangers.
Yes, the tractor will be heavy. It already has a 10 KW generator and a 15 HP air compressor running off the belt pulley. The front hitch parts probably add around 750 lbs.
The log splitter dies are just 2"x 3" chunks of steel cut from the legs of a pallet stacker. The wedge is a spring leaf from a heavy truck. It is way too sharp for a "top die". I insert a piece of 1/4" steel between the wedge and the work. It lasts about 15 bends before it is sheared and replaced.

Today's Featured Article - Choosin, Mounting and Using a Bush Hog Type Mower - by Francis Robinson. Looking around at my new neighbors, most of whom are city raised and have recently acquired their first mini-farms of five to fifteen acres and also from reading questions ask at various discussion sites on the web it is frighteningly apparent that a great many guys (and a few gals) are learning by trial and error and mostly error how to use a very dangerous piece of farm equipment. It is also very apparent that these folks are getting a lot of very poor and often very dangerous advice fro
