Slipped out of the office for the last 10 days to get in some seat time. I really put it all to work this week.

1) Finished mowed 6 acres of pasture
2) Spread 1 ton 13.13.13 fertilizer on pasture
3) Bush Hogged all my back roads, food plot and field trails
4) Used RTV to trim overhanging branches on 1.25 miles of trails and roads
5) Used tractor and chipper to chip above trees and several other blow down trees on property
6) Used box blade to turn deer food plot over after bush hogging was done.
7) Tiller to prep 1/8 acre food plot, then seed, fertilizer, lime and drag harrow with RTV
8) Finished shaping 3200' main road through property with scrape blade and landscape rake
9) Gravel truck spread a dozen 18 ton loads of gravel, some #4, some #57 and lots of crusher run
10) Landscape rake to finish grade roads, RTV & drag harrow to smooth new road.
11) RTV and 26 gallon sprayer to apply 36 gallons of Round-Up to kill weeds along fences and stumps with new growth.
12) Spread 18 tons of surge rock on steap parts of road to prevent washing. This really hurt because so much of the work has to be done by hand.
13) Used RTV to fill two feeders and set out mineral blocks.
14) Used Landscape rake on tractor and drag harrow on RTV to seed horse corral.

What a week. I had to get back to work to rest. I did save some time to ride horses with the wife. Hot week but very productive.

First four pictures show the new 3200' road.

This a shot of the pasture after I finished mowed. I keeping the mower set at about 7 1/2" so the horses have lots of grass for the winter but I also want to keep the weeds hacked back.

They haven't turned brown yet but all the weeds around the trees have just been hit with Round-Up

That is a lot for ten days. You need more time off. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Is that property in Florida? /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif I had no idea you had that many hills and clay. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Hmm, looks allot like my stomping grounds up in Rabun County, Ga. near Toccoa Falls and Clayton off US441.

You are right. Same type of country.... You got to love it, when it's not raining, then it's just MUD. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Where about's in Blue Ridge? I was born and raised there, well actually in McCaysville. Most of my family and good friends still live there. I now live in Cleveland (GA).

Nice place.
