I fear facing the same issue. When I pull the trigger on a tractor, I will face 1 of 2 scenarios... Come across the yard, or go along the berm of the road at the top and come straight down the yard. There may be months of the year that I simply can not get the tractor away from the garage because of the angle of the yard, and that will make me sad.

Very nice and very peaceful looking! I wouldn't want to muck it up either.

What about the sides of the area you excavated last week? Are you doing a retainer wall, or sloping down and putting grass seed on it? I have watched all of your YouTube videos, so I sort of feel like I have been there at the house helping you!
I was surprised how well your bucket was able to peel off hard ground with the curl cylinders, you have no teeth on the bar and yet you were getting nice scoops of dirt on the left side there from one push and curl move. Impressive for such a small machine and not using any teeth to fracture the ground.

I would move too, let the next guy kill him self mowing. I suppose you could come in with some retaining walls/gabion cages and make it a bit more friendly, but at what cost...

It looks mowed already. How did that get done?
My sad days begin this week. 27 degrees this morning and snow is in the forecast. Ground will not thaw until mid to late April 2018. Only 24 hours on the new toy and I'll have to put it to bed soon. Now, THAT is depressing. I should have started begging for a tractor earlier in the year!

I just had 450 retaining wall bricks delivered 2 days ago. I am going to try to get it done soon, but a pre-planned camping trip to the Great Smoky Mountains has got in the way. I come back from that and I am having a knee replacement. That will kick me in the butt for a while. I will try to get it done the few days before surgery.
Tennessee has great dirt on the West end of the state. Easy to work with.
I hope you enjoy the videos. I have found I enjoy sharing the tractor and the work.

We have already gotten snow a few times... this is the first time it has snowed this early in the year since I've lived here. But it melted already.

I cried a little bit with you. :frown:I love Tennessee. We get a little of all weather, but not a lot of any weather.

I found some video from the other day to work. Good news, It cleared up here, so looking forward to a nice clear 73 day here tomorrow. I have to mow one more time before my camping trip. Seat time!
