Looking good! Needed a little fabrication pick-me-up this morning! The post outriggers and side shift options are rare over here and sought by foundation repair companies. Excellent work and inspiring craftsmanship.

The grassy areas turn into 6’+ weedy lots in the fall for once a year cutting. Joe-Pye weed, iron weed, black berry, trees, etc. have reclaimed boarders with brown tree cutter. Hoping the flail can cut/mulch better and not leave clumps from rotary cutters that kill grass and encourage weeds...

My thinking too. Don’t see that option much. Maybe cut tall stuff better in reverse?

Added a vent now these drain about 10x faster.

Bought a used Alamo74 cutter. One of the features is dual rear laminated, bushhog type trailing height gauge wheels. It’s also has the roller bar. The roller bar has some perforations from rust where it was sitting on the ground. Question, do you really need the roller bar with wheels? Patch...

We have only a few. Get them while they’re young. Pull them out with the Danuser Intimdator and transport to gully tree digester.

They have been in business a long time. Large tractor and construction equipment dealer. Seems like they to deal with higher end used equipment which tend to have higher prices. Have talked with them on equipment, shopped their lot but have never bought anything from them. Haven’t heard any...

50” of rain per year, 280’ elevation in 2500’ winding thru woods need to keep water off the road. Little is crowned, mostly sloped to one side or the other. Land plane has greatly reduced maintenance time and cost. Mainly used to smooth tracks out to prevent water from channeling and washing...

Have never needed the scarifiers for driveway maintenance. The EA LP with more angle on the blades makes it perform better.

25* driveway? Pretty steep. Have 2500’ driveway on a hillside to maintain. Land plane has been a blessing, has quickly paid for itself and has made the road durable with less maintenance. No blade adjustment. Grading up, most of the time, 6’LP can grunt my 60hp tractor in some spots.

Many of the homes built in East Tennessee boggles the mind how they ever got building materials way back in hills. Friend has built their homestead, off-grid with a little contract excavation and lots of B26 TLB work.

Some advantages of buying new. Don’t think you will come close to wearing one out. Up at Johnson City Tennessee a couple of weeks ago and noted Mason’s had several used M62s. At least one M59. Popular machines for hillside work. While the M62 does have some improvements, the pre tierIV...

Wrap wires with tape to prevent chewing.

Got a 2021 little truck for the farm, a Honda Ridgeline. Researching care and feeding found this Honda product. https://images.app.goo.gl/Hu6XCPEKWxEwGFtC9 Can see many useful applications of this product around the farm. Layer of capsaicin makes chewing unpleasant.

Don’t think so. Certainly does have room in a center blank dash. Ran a heavy duty, two lead, fused quick disconnect plug to run a spot sprayer or possible fuel pump.
