Used my Cross's nifty red towing hook for the first time yesterday, to pull a 50 foot ash tree from our farm pond. I had to fell the tree into the pond because it was leaning over it at a crazy angle, and gravity will have its way. Our garden tractor couldn't get enough traction on the lawn to pull it out - the wheels kept skidding - but the Panda just hunkered down and, as the saying goes, Robert is your father's brother.

Maybe I should start a new thread ... 1001 unconventional uses for a Panda.

The last time I used a car for pulling a tree was the company vectra. I remember a sick feeling as the tree started to fall. Thankfully I had (just) left enough room to avoid squashing the car! Needless to say I now have a longer rope. The Panda sounds like its in its element doing such work which is great.

You're braver than I am! I just used the wee yellow beastie to lug the felled tree out of the pond. It growled a bit (well, it's a TwinAir - they do growl) but was well up to the job.
 
Today the Panda will be a van.
My eldest daughter moved house at the weekend so it will be back and forth to the local dump....... at least it'll be earning its keep!!!
 
Visited Viva Zeelanda 2017 near my house. Some 140 cars there and a couple of really nice ones as well. Still the only 312 Panda there.

I didn't know that it was "Viva Zeelanda 2017" time already, most times i'm not aware of those dates.
If i would had known, i would have go.

btw, you are not in the participant list, so far i can see. :D
