Erath. isn't that down towards the gulf? I worked down in there and a place called Kaplan in 2005 for about a month, mostly poor rural area, seems like yesterday but it's been 19 years ago. Looks like you have a few pieces of specialized equipment to help get the job done.
I like it, I think it's good for us to see the different things that we all do to either pass the time and keep from rusting up in retirement or our daily job putting food on the table and raising family's, I look forward to more of your post's in this thread. Charlie.
It really is a beautiful piece of property once it's cleaned up, I'm actually going to try some herbicide on a section of it and see if we can tame it a little and get some grass established.
Have you considered a tilt deck trailer? I had a 20' 14k equipment trailer and I was using it to haul my skid steer and it was really over loaded, so I started looking at tilt deck trailers and found Kaufman, you can buy a 22' tilt deck trailers from them for less than 7k, I upgraded to the 8k...
Today's work was a mowing job of a piece of property on the edge of a big Prarie that is full of huge old live oak trees, I cut this a couple of times every year for the owner, you really can't tell it but he uses it for a moto cross track and it is by far the roughest piece of property that I...
I always use Power Service Bio Kleen diesel fuel Biocide in my 500 gallon bulk tank and have never had any problems, I also double filter coming out of the tank, one water block and one particulate filter
Yeah, they have been struggling for quite some time now, I retired over 2 & 1/2 years ago and we always had a top notch training program but as fast as we could get them trained they would get a better job offer, several guys that I helped train came to me and asked what to do, I always told...
That's where I retired from, it used to be a well run , well respected utility but unfortunately a liberal city commission ran it in the ground. Small world, I hope your plans work out , retirement can be a good thing, I was just afraid if I didn't start something else I would either not have...
No I retired from a municipality that had a little over 100k customers, I went there from the contractors while I was still young. I've worked storms in SC for Santee Cooper a couple of different times, Conway and Myrtle Beach were a couple of places.
Yeah we were South of all the bad storms and Tornado's , Tallahassee got tore up pretty had, some of my old lineman buddy's from Lafayette Louisiana got there today to help restore power, I kinda miss the storm work , but so far not enough to give up my little skid steer/tractor work business.
I had him dump it just inside the driveway up by the highway and it worked out good , I should have remembered some final product pictures but I wanted to get out of there and head home since I got a late start due to getting rained out yesterday morning.
Today's work was for myself, drilled in some Tiff Quick bahia got it all in and everything cleaned up and ready for some upcoming pasture seeding jobs that I have coming up, I will put it back under the barn in the morning before church, got my fingers crossed for some rain next week.
