Hello

[RAllison]

That's an early seventies Gravely two wheel tractor with the trailer on the back. It has a front rotary mower and a snowblade stashed in the barn. The color blends in well. Didn't think anyone would notice.

Thanks...I'm glad I wasn't the only one staring at that pic wondering what that was!

 

[Delbert White]

That's sweet

Are you going to mount the snow blade?

 

[Keith Pomeroy]

No, I won't be mounting the blade. When operating this thing with the brush hog or the blade, it tosses me around like a rag doll. And, I ain't little. I have a Honda snow blower that does a great job, and it throws the snow far enough away to make room for the next snowfall.

I'm surprised that, at my age and background, I didn't even know that was a *thing* outside of Europe and Asia.

Had to look into it and found they still operate out of Nebraska. Then & Now: Two-Wheeled Tractor Production | Gravely

[Keith Pomeroy]

Thank you Todd. I got a little education out of this reply.

Someone REALLY likes their job at Gravely...

 

[RAllison]

Who's that...you?

 

[PACub100]

Hahaha, no...I was just on the site checking it out and noticed this in the back right corner...zoomed in and got a good laugh, thought I'd share.
I highly doubt management noticed it now that it's been on their website for 6 years...

It is funny

 

[Keith Pomeroy]

Could be the company CEO.

 

[PACub100]

Yeah, I used to be young and spirited, enjoying my job...gonna make a difference, be a go-getter, be the one to stand out among the crowd...I could relate to this guy.

20 years later, many mornings the frown is upside-down as I contemplate moving deep into the woods, becoming a turnip farmer and raising albino squirrels for a petting zoo....

 

[Don McKee]

Much demand for albino squirrels at petting zoos? Sounds like a pretty limited market. Might be kinda hard to get rich and famous - I wouldn't quit my day job just yet.

Those walk behind Gravelys we’re very popular in WV. Maybe in part because they originated in Dunbar WV, & were manufactured there till sometime in the 1960’s. There were many attachments for them Bushog deck, finish mower deck, rotary turning plow, cultivator, shovel plow, spring harrow. I’m sure there is more

 

[Keith Pomeroy]

Yeah, this thing is the Shopsmith of the gardening world. One motor, and many attachments. It still runs great.

Loved that rotary log splitter. Looks like a man eater to me.

 

[Neil Mullins]

Also the big saw blade attachment.

I cringe every time I go to our fall fest and see the guys cutting up slabs from our sawmill on the tractor mounted saw blade.
