CK20 Worries Me

[Highbeam]

Don't you have a two stage clutch? so that you can shift gears and directions without disengaging PTO power? I leave the mower blades spinning while moving around in tight brush. I might lift the deck up a little higher after cutting and while avoiding a stump.

HST sure is nice in the tight stuff.

Took Bush Hog off, not enough room to turn around. Pics are from today while clearing brush. My sexy wife took them for me.... and then wouldn't let me take any of her!!! lol

Working on clearing about 1 acre for more pasture for our 3 horses. Having fun.

Man, you shouldn't be anywhere near that pile of brush without a grapple! Next thing you know you'll be like Highbeam trying to clear half the state of Washington with just a bucket.

Ed,
That just aint right !
I think You broke a well understood rule.
I think if You state that you have a "sexy" - wife/girlfreind/mistress, you HAVE to post a picture.

I'm sure the grapple would make things much easier. I was very suprised with how much I could push up in a pile. I can push more than I ever thought possible. After I get this cleared, 1 acre on upper side and about 3 on the lower side of our property, I would have little or no use for a grapple. Much rather spend what little I have on grass seed and our horses. I was planning on paying to have land cleared, but have found I can do it myself and save a bunch. Tractor, chain saw and a little sweat and it's amazing what can be done. Looking for good ideas on getting the small stumps (1" to 6") out of the ground.

Backhoe -->> KB2365 (or whatever has replaced it now)


Actually - Rent a stump grinder or rent a backhoe.

I know I know, I need a grapple too. The thing about pushing the brush into piles like your photos is that eventually you'll have to get the brush out of there for burning or consolidation. Perhaps you can try my method of creating a clearing and then pushing all the brush into the clearing in one huge pile. It is a big land clearing no-no to push brush into and against trees.

Are you going to burn it? You look to be in pretty dense forest meaning even one acre will make a mountain of brush.

I knew that was coming . . .

Yeah, I only own a tractor so I can run my grapple. It is the implement of choice for about 90% of my tasks. When I put a grapple on my CK20 I did not put the standard bucket with toothbar back on the tractor until the day Wallace showed up to take it away as a trade in. Grapples rule!
