MG40 pulling roots

[crawler]

Back at the start of the year during a brief break in the weather we set about clearing an area that was getting over-grown by Rhododendrons. After a bit of cutting we were left with a lot of small stumps that needed removing, I thought this would be an ideal opportunity to give my MG40 a bit of exercise.
Starting the Sachs 600 diesel proved a little harder than usual as it was only 2 degrees C. The best I could get was a few puffs of smoke, back to the house and I got the little jar of igniters that came with the tractor. With an igniter it started first pull over compression.
Using a chain the MG40 made short work of removing the stumps and roots. While being a little overly optimistic on the MG40s abilities I came to a halt with the tracks slipping when attached to a larger stump. This reassured me that the clutch was ok as I had been concerned last year that it may have been slipping.
Its always good to get a chance to get the tracks dirty and have a bit of a play.

Thanks John, regarding workout, trying to start the Sachs engine without the igniters certainly gave me a workout. My right arm was a good few inches longer than my left by the time I admitted defeat and went to get the igniters.

Glad to hear your ok anyway. p.s. are they an expensive Item to buy these igniters

I’m not sure John, see my thread on the Sachs engine. I’m trying to find somewhere to get them.
