Hard not to like this tractor.

A funky picture, toolman tim, grunt grunt.

Amazing how a hog can shred the forest. This is the difference between clearing and grubbing. By shredding in place I leave the nutrients in place, erosion is controlled, and my burn pile is minimal.

This area is next after the doctor lets me back in the saddle.

This shredding work really consumes fuel but I think the results are worth the effort.

Last one. On the left is how it starts, can't even walk through it, and on the right is how it ends up. If you haven't noticed I also limb the trees as high as I can reach with the chainsaw from the ground.

That's some nice work and a pretty piece of property. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Joe, by the looks of things, you won't have much to do soon. Just how many of those 15 acres HAVE you cleared? /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif
I too am nearing a green light from my doctor to return to the seat of my tractor. A little clean-up work on the driveway & backstops at the gun club the it's off to the farm as cutting season nears. I shred a lot with my brush hog and am delighted with the results - I reclaimed about 15 acres of way-overgrown fields. I have to fix up the deck a bit though as the skidder plate in the corner caught something and split open late in the season (hopefully one of the neighbors welds and yet another trade I need to learn to add to my repertoire). By the way, that was a fantastic photo of those mating salamanders but remember this is a family site /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif

They were mating? That was a nature shot, looked like the three stooges with no exposed er salamander things, very discovery channelish. I had never seen such a thing.

I have a thread going in "build-it-yoursef" that shows some pretty serious upgrades to my rotary cutter. I do abuse that implement or should I say use it to its full potential.

I am clearing and shredding in and around the wetter area of the acreage so that I can get a good pasture grass growth and eliminate any potholes that may be mistaken for wetlands.

Great pics Highbeam, that 30 is a beast. You live in a beautiful area, almost as nice as the hills and valleys of Pa. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
