I not sure why it makes that noise. I guess the rpm change sends a vibration through the tin can of a body. I think I am going to add some sound deadener to the engine cover so that it shuts up a little more. It is quieter than before but when it makes that noise it drives me nuts!

Yes that's our backyard. I'm very fortunate to live out in the boonies a little and have a pretty big play area for all of my hobbies. Some of my friends always used called it the RCP compound lol.

My poor skidder... It has been sitting on the back of my truck for months now but I have been day dreaming about it more and more lately. I really need to make the hydraulic cylinders for it! I have so many different projects on the go that none of them are getting finished. The truck is my main focus but now that the Mack is working well and the Volvo is tuned up I only have a boat the KW and a wedding to prepare for by mid July... Oh yeah and work...Haha
