Good morning!!!!

I don't mind removing the fence, just gives me tractor time. I have been "burned" before going on people's word, 99% of the time no, but I am a little concerned with this situation.

Was the survey recorded with the agency having jurisdiction over that sort of thing? If so, you've legally established the property line, and usually that means that the neighbor was formally notified of the survey. As a courtesy, you may want to send them a notarized letter informing them of your intent. Do not imply you are asking for permission in the letter because you are just making an improvement to your land. If, in the future, you and/or your neighbor wish to build a fence on the property line, check with the aforementioned agency to see if there is a "good neighbor" clause that would force neighbors to share costs of such a fence. That will reduce your costs.

Keep in mind that I'm not an attorney, and I didn't even sleep in a Holiday Inn Express last night. If you're really worried about it, seek the services of a real estate attorney in your area. Most attorneys will consult free with you for the first thirty minutes.

snowing lightly this morning, winter's last hurrah this week and then perhaps we can have our mud season until spring gets here.

Regarding tractors that start on gas and switch to diesel, International made them for sure. We had TD14 crawlers on the farm, and I have a 1957 McCormick 650D in my yard. They use the same engine for both gas and diesel, compression lever switches between gas and diesel.

I’m sorry!

This is a tractor forum. Shouldn’t we all be happy with the possibility of SEAT TIME.

Good morning all!, not to chilly this morning, only down to 38, going up to 58. Supposed to get windy again tonight and tomorrow. Considerably colder tomorrow, only to 43, then rebound up to 52 on Thursday. Weather can't make up its mind.

Couldn't wait any longer... went out yesterday and started making up the laminated beams for my project. Knee started screaming after a few hours, so called it quits. Not too bad pain this morning, so gonna go out again and work until the balance between pain or fatigue occurs. Never been one to sit and "nurse" a problem, more like "just walk (or work) it off". Some things like the flu or illness, no, get sleep / rest, but a physical injury, work through it. May be good or may be bad..don't know.

Got caught up in reading two long threads here related to property easements, property lines, etc. Scary stuff how the courts proceeded and didn' even uphold their own decisions. So with that in mind, I may have a problem that could be nothing, or could arise and bite me in the arse. Here goes:

The property adjoining our 5 acres has a fence that is on our property 2', at approx 330' from the shared property corner. This fence was installed by the previous owner about 4 years ago. He sold the home / property 2 years ago to a retired couple, they have not moved here yet, trying to sell their farm first. Shortly thereafter, about a year and a half ago, I subdivided my property, and in the survey process, found out about the fence line issue. I called them and advised them of the fence problem. They "told" me "you can take down the fence, we were going to take it down anyway". So here's the issues: 1) I don't have anything in writing about removing the fence. 2) Do they want me to take down the fence so they can say- you took down the fence, now you have to put it back up! 3) since it is on my property, can I remove it legally w/o any ramifications? 4) are they just ok with it and really don't care if I take it down? 5) If I send them paperwork to sign getting written permission to remove the fence, I don't want to piss them off, making a bad neighbor before really becoming neighbors.
I don't mind removing the fence, just gives me tractor time. I have been "burned" before going on people's word, 99% of the time no, but I am a little concerned with this situation.

Prayers out to those needing them. Hope everyone continues to get better from illness.
Have a great day, be safe!

You gotta take it down.

RNG and others make good points.

I think since these are new neighbors who played no role in putting in the fence to begin with, I would want to get off on the right foot...I'd try to get their written statement by writing them a letter stating something friendly like this: "how nice it was talking with you...looking forward to meeting you in person...also want to confirm our conversation, that you understand the fence is installed improperly about 2 feet across the property line on my side, and you are in agreement that I should remove it. For our records, will you please sign this and return. I've enclosed a copy for your records, too. Agreed to by _________. "

The only seat I have is my recliner. My snow blower is just a walk behind. Ed

Wife went to see mom today and she was doing very bad. We were wondering how long she can hang on but this evening she is some better. Still have doubts that this will last very long. Lungs are just not doing well at all. Ed
