Here are some pics of my 5 acres in upstate NY I bought to put my camp/house on. This is the start of the 200 ft road into the lot. This project is begging for a compact tractor to play with. I'm still deciding on which one.

Upstate NY? Oh oh, here we go agen. /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

Picture did not make it through. Good luck with your project. sounds like what I went through with my 4.3 acres. Started with just wanting to just camp out on it, and maby in 5 to ten years build a house. Well, two years now and the house is going up this summer. Here is a shot from the road of mine. Oh, and I am also from upstate. /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif about 30min south-east of Albany.

South East of Albany? I'm from Plattsburgh, REALLY upstate. I'll resend the picture later. Apperently the file was too large to go through.

Hey, nice! And very nice road too /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

Thanks Rob,
It is pure bliss on the sight. All you hear is nature. That is something I've always wanted. Here's a shot of the road looking out. As you can see there is a slight uphill grade. All the more reason I will need a tractor (with snowblower) to get us out in the winter. At least that's the excuse I'm using on the wife to buy my machine.

Tawoo,

You are really in upstate NY. Plattsburgh alone should get you permission to buy a CUT, the snow you get is going to be fun. Here is my 200' plus driveway with another 50' Turn in.

Here's my turn into the house. Although things look allot better now (see House & House II under the projects section).

RobS · Jul 8, 2002

Boy, you guys with the real driveways are just killing me. We're still using our construction drive waiting for a couple more quotes for the real one. Even then it'll be stone/slag/recycled asphalt or something like that. Hey, what can I say... I'm intensely jealeous /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

Hi Michael,
I live in Plattsburgh but the property and my future camp/house is in Tupper Lake. Sorry to sound like a newbie but what is a "CUT"? Your land looks beautiful. It sounds like your in the same situation I'm in.

Hi Rob,
That is all we used. Gravel then crusher run. It packed down great.

Tawoo,

I picked up the CUT (Compact Utility Tractor) term on the boards just last week so don't be red in the face. Our land is nice and we can't wait to get in. The phot of the drive is ar the turn into the house area. But now that portion has been moved and replaced with more bank run gravel (compacts real nice) and it is a solid foundation for the gravel top they will put in.

Good luck, hey make sure you join House II the second story, where RobS, me and many others are putting our houses up.

Thank you. I like the woods. I never get sick of walking, riding my four wheeler or just plain standing still and listening to nature in the woods. Now, to have property that we will build our house on is truly a dream come true. However, there is a lot of work clearing for the road and the house sight. It's fun work but hard work. I'm trying decide the right tractor with the right attachements to help me with the job. This disscussion group in invaluable with information that is helping me make the right choices.
