Tractors...

Put a top link on mine last spring. Been real happy with it, I think you'll find it handy!

 

Home Depot had a 4 pack of these for $25.00

 

Oops. I meant Lowes... Senior moment.

Had some ash-borer beetle attacked trees down, and some rotten cherries. Couple went into the brook. Neighbor takes the logs to the processor and lets me borrow his chipper. I burn whatever is left. Finished grabbing what I could from it this morning.

 

Gypsy Moths have played hell along the ridgelines in my area the last 3-4 years. Hearing chainsaws running when outside is extremely common. In fact I hear one running up on the ridge someplace right now, LOL. I dropped a killed off White oak out at the end of the driveway yesterday that was standing near power lines. I need to get out there today and get it bucked up.







My collection of unsplit rounds to be split is growing again which is a good thing. I'm down to less than a cord of firewood right now.

 

The foreign bugs are killing our forests and its sad. It's like every year we learn about a new type getting decimated. I guess what will be left standing and grow back will be stronger than ever. Looks like you know what you are doing with those ropes! I just cut and run

I wish we still had Chestnuts. Lots of folks playing with manmade modified variants but not real progress that I can see. Now and then I'll run into a scrub chestnut in the wild that survived long enough to produce a few nuts before dying. Give me hope that eventually nature will modify them enough to grow into maturity again.

I've gotten fair over the past several years at rigging to assist making certain hazard trees go along with the plan, so far anyway. Plus I stare at them for awhile (as in repeatedly, for weeks, months, sometimes a year) pondering the least likely way to screw it up. Hahaha.

 

I know it’s not a tractor. But we all love equipment. And making more room for the tractors! Having a blast this weekend with this unit.

 

It’s a beauty for sure.

 

That's the tractor I wish I had I love my tractor but I want a skid steer and a mini-ex real bad. I have the land and use case for them, but I do not have the budget for them right now. One day!

 

Same here!

 

The ol' boy has been working hard lately with all the scrap I've been hauling. I took him about 1/2 mile away to a neighbor's house to pick up a few 20' long angle iron pieces. The family rode in the bucket and helped maneuver the pieces around. Fun little trip. I also picked up this 15T chain fall from work that was being scrapped. I don't understand why. I'm going to try and sell it though.

 

I have a few neighbors, and my FIL before he died ran some real old tractors, big old cabbed cases is what is basically left around me. I love seeing them running! Thanks for the pictures.

 

Got the driveway back together yesterday. I spread a fresh load of about 15-18 yards to clean up after a huge trenching job this winter. Use the york rake to get things about 85%. Then I like the land plane to get any bumps and push some down force on things. Then a quick touch up rake and we are off. There is some improvements I can still do here, and I need a tiny bit more for one area off camera, but overall, happy with how it came out. Once some traffic is on it this week Ill touch it up for the weekend as our season kicks off Saturday.

 

Oooo I like those. Might be time to use my Lowes gift card.....

 

Thanks!

 

Project pasture reseed has taken off, unintentionally. Spitballed an idea/request past my neighbor about his manure pile. I ask if I could buy a few manure spreader loads for my pasture as the soil is in dire need of some organic material. He blew me away by offering me the whole pile (12+ loads through my small spreader) so now I’m scrambling to get all the ducks in a row. Picked up my dads Ford 3000 diesel to run the spreader and drag the harrow as it’s smaller and much more maneuverable than my bigger Farmall 400, plus the PTO is spoken for on the 400 for the loader hydraulic pump.
Many more pics to come off this little spur of the moment project. Bonus in the image is dads big tractor, his IH 856.
