Brook Crossing..

[ChuckinNH]

I've been dealing with some health stuff, but I have also been enjoying my Kubota. I'm sorry that I don't have some pictures of things in progress to this stage, but here is a brook crossing that I've been working on in my woods. It's been a lot of fun, and is something I put off doing for some time. Now I'll have good access to another five acres, or so of my land. The dirt pile at the end of the crossing was pushed up there years ago by the skidder when they finished logging, and will be easily removed. This wouldn't have been possible without my B2620. I thought for sure that I would need a backhoe for this job, but I got really lucky, and didn't hit anything that I couldn't move. I used 12" culvert, and had them cut a 20' one in half for this job. As you can see, they didn't cut it quite in half, but it worked out well.

very nice job, i like it but on a side note not sure about you're area. but here they get real testy when you play around with water. they don't care about road building, but water crossings are a touchy subject.

Good feeling when man and machine becomes one.

Speedy recovery wishes headed your way.

NH D.E.S. is taking a tougher stance on wetlands and culvert repair or install. One of the snowmobile clubs might be getting a fine for doing more trail work in one place then their permit allowed[ I believe it was an honest mistake, more to the permitting process now]. I have donated my time in the past,have to be a qualified contractor with knowledge of silt or erosion control I believe. I don't go into any sensitive areas with my machine. plowking
