Property line trail/ track

[NS Gearhead]

Is that typical rubber track behavior on rocky ground? Or a problem with this particular machine?

Bruce

They told me they were new tracks, so I kind of suspect they should have been tightened more often.... but the tech kept saying; it's not ment for this kind of terrain. I thought; It's called a Multi-terrain loader! LOL

Neighbor took this shot;

I find it hard to believe that the way you were using the machine or the terrain caused the tracks to come off. Like you said, needing tensioned is a lot more likely.

I realize that most of the time it's hard to visualize what I'm doing without having been there... so here's a little map to maybe clear things up



The new garden I de-stumped with the skid.

So much there. But the pool water heater stands out to me. Well done.

Wow, that's a long trip with a skid steer.

Thank you. I'm a boiler operator, so I guess I had a bit of an advantage there. LOL

Yeah it would have been. I made it 3/4 of the way down the connector trail smoothing as I went before returning it.

Been working on the trail from the house to the new garden. I expect to be making alot of trips here next spring so may as well make it priority.







One of hopefully 4 or 5 rows. Hard to tell, but it's about 3' wide and 8-10" deep. 30' long.

Guessing a dump trailer made out of a fuel/oil barrel

Look at the links in his description, there is a build thread for it.

 

[NS Gearhead]

Yes, 100gal oil tank. That part of the trail was all done by hand. Scroll up the page and you'll see the airial view of where it is in comparison to the gravel pile and house.

 

[NS Gearhead]

Got some done this year. I focused on the section from the house to the new garden... thinking I'll be traveling that alot next year hauling in dirt. Probably 25ish loads with the atv trailer.

Went for a walk with the girl the other day.

She loves climbing the gravel pile


She liked this tree because it was her height

Nice pics of father and daughter bonding. :thumbsup:

Not all posts have to be about work projects.

Nice pictures. Your little girl is growing up fast.

 

[NS Gearhead]

Thanks guys. Yeah, I try not to let my projects take family time away.

Nice pictures. Your little girl is growing up fast.

Was thinking the same thing - she's growing up right in front of us all!!

Treasure these times. My daughters are 23 and 25 now. I miss the times when they were your daughters age. It just seems like yesterday.

Been there done that, I started 3+ years ago making parameter trails around my property (147 acres). I'm almost done!!! had a bad storm in may that blocked most of my trails. Now that the weather has cooled, its back to cleaning up the impassable trails.

I just retired to 41 acres in Missouri. I'm going to be clearing the property line too. The property is roughly 1320'x1320' and fenced on 3 1/2 sides already. I aiming for a walking trail first so I can tend/mend the fences. Eventually I'd like to get my Kioti CK4010 around it too.

Doing the same with a small Deere 350 Dozer... it cuts a nice path through some very steep areas.

 

[NS Gearhead]

Started back up on the trail! Over the last three weeks I've put down 4 tons of crusher dust and 2.5ts of rock.

Doesn't squat too bad


Kind of have in mind that I could use a loadhandler here. Once I backed onto my ramps and the truck sat level with the road.


I have twice this much done. The upper right of the pic is where the tree house is.

 

[newbury]

IF your trail is wide enough to maneuver your truck through you could unload IN place with a Loadhandler. Drive a few feet, crank a couple of times.

Regardless if you can get a Loadhandler for $30 like I did (thread) you'll realize that shoveling is GOOD, LOT'S MORE EXERCISE!! Strengthens the muscles!! Builds character!!
