Hit the "Go Advanced" button before typing in your response. That works for me.

I find on my phone, if someone uses an apostrophe, like in the word "it's" or "that's". It displays in that weird symbols gobbledly gook. So much for proper grammar.

Norse 45 3 Point Hitch - 4-9 HP - CURRENTLY UNAVAILABLE U
Labonville appears to be sold out but they dont seemed that terribly expensive to begin with, well for cab tractor folk anyways. The first thing needed is leather-ish gloves and then figure out how to put a trailer hitch on it.

You can get the Igland which is the exact same with a different color from Windyridge farm for just as good a price as labonville and with free shipping if you are within range and they have them in stock. Windy Ridge Corporation - Products

Not very exciting but it's a picture. Opening an old skid trail that has grown up in striped maple and beech saplings in the last 25 years. Just using a chain saw or forestry saw to cut at ground level. Then drag them to the side. Should finish tomorrow. That will make three days work - probably one day for a young ambitious guy :)

Are you doing anything with the cut stumps to make sure they don稚 sprout back up?

That's not a problem in a road that gets used. Any sprouts get beat up and striped pretty quick. The ones on the edge that don't get run over or or have logs draged over them can sprout but it doesn't take much to keep them down. The biggest problem are the vigorous sapling trees along the edges that can send out a branch 10 feet into the road to get some light in one season.

So how is the bacon on wild hogs?

Bacon isn't bad, just not a lot of fatty belly meat on wild pigs, they run around too much unlike heir domestic cousins. Hams on the other hand are fantastic, they are the main reason I like the pigs!

That's a pretty nice load. You might regret posting it though, people will start talking about how clean you keep your tractor.

That's OK though, we're just envious! :thumbsup:

Yep, I was thinking it was pretty shiny!!

Here is about 2 months worth of firewood and the little stove I burn it in.

Looks about like the same stove, I even have the same fan!

Here's a few more pics.
This is my little 5 ton electric splitter.
I do about 2 cords of wood an year with it.

It's amazing what those little splitters will do. You guys in Kentucky grow some nice hardwood !!
