I was told it is a bad idea...hold my beer!

How far up the hill have you progressed?...is this going to be a walking trail or do you have another vehicle (like a 4 wheeler etc) you're planning on using...?

The left lines have come to an end. The right line is where I'm currently at. It will probably just be a walking trail. I'm sure a side by side could travel it but will still be too steep for a 4wheeler.

Looking great! Keep being safe - don't get complacent up there.

Did you make it to the top yet? Looks like your getting to a kind of plateau area up there, at least.

I'm not even close.

Small 8-10 inch oak in my way. It might be troublesome. Approaching the area where I need to put a switchback in and start heading straight up the ridgeline.

I have a steep property in my back yard up to the hilltop as well. I rented a mini-ex a few years ago and got as far as I could while I had it. There were a lot of points where I had to use the bucket to pull myself up hills and I tipped over a few times only to be caught by the bucket itself. The road has held up with only a few run off points, and eventually I will get myself to the top, but need to plan it a little bit before I start up again.

Have you just been using your bucket and the blade and that's it? I will be honest, I haven't read all 24 pages, maybe half.


Either way, looks good, good luck! And be careful on the steep parts!

Thanks. Yep just the bucket and box blade....a little bit at a time.

I'll prob rewrite the post when I'm done for a cleaner read of the progression I went through without all the jibberish.

Time to head straight up the ridge line

What part of the country are you in? You might have to come do my property next :laughing:

Good luck!

Nice progress ! Be safe on that slope.

Alrighty, about time for our next bi-monthly installment of pics here. Or at least confirmation that you didn't roll down the hill and get squashed yet.
