I am set close on my dream...23 wooded mostly flat acres with a creek running through it. It is bounded by a ridge to the north and a valley to the south.

I am buying a Kubota B3300SU with the BH attached and a 5 ft box blade for my dirt work (and other work) and extending a gravel drive.

I've been helped tremendously by this forum and hope to contribute my progress and my pain along the way to building my new home and life with my wife and 10 yr old and 8 year old boys there.

Boys need woods, dirt, streams, and of course tractors you know. Even big boys.

Glad to join....

Welcome! So what is your dream or plans for your 23 acres?

Dream...hmmm....

I will build my new home and want to get it as close to self sufficient as possible. I want to clear areas in the center of the property for gardening and play. I want to broaden the banks of the creek at the eastern end and dam up the creek to form a pond for fish and water.

Mostly I want a private place to play in the dirt ......:thumbsup:

Congrats, I think it's all our dream to be more self reliant and to give our boys lots of dirt to play in!!

Wish you well on your endeavor. So what is your current occupation? Will you be able to devote a lot of time to this project or is this a long term dream?

It's a long term dream but a lot of short term work. I'll be able to devote most weekends to it given my job responsibilities.

Best wishes on your dream. You'll get there with a lot of work and determination. Make it a family dream.

Sebastian County.

My wife is from Poinsett County and the mosquitos there are like yours. OMG. People don't understand what mosquitos are until they go to flooded farms.
