This one goes along the southeast side of the driveway, set back about a dozen feet from the drive.
Ones I can't carry, or roll by hand, get tractored, or jacked.

Here's the largest one I've pulled. And it took some hand shoveling to ramp it out of the hole it was in.

This one I've got to jack over into place. Fortunately I only need to move it 3 or 4 feet into position.

Two dead trees to cut up for two neighbors to use in their burners. An utility pole that the creek carried 130 yards. There used to be two of them lying on the ground, but one obviously is now in the next County.

14 tri-axle loads of firewood, some of the larger pieces are 4' in diameter those I just roll around and if I cant I have to get the backhoe out for the extra weight.

I just finished cleaning up from the storm that came thru 2 days ago. It had 60+ MPH winds and put a lot of trees (mostly oak) on the ground. I had a cluster of three uprooted at the edge of my creek and all the roots were intertwined. The root ball was over 6 feet long x 3 feet wide because about half of it was in the creek. I tried to pull it out with my P7010 LS but it wouldn't move it. I got my B26 TLB over and cut thru the root ball separating the roots into two sections and then separated the twin tree stumps that I was then able to move with the B26 to a burn pile a short distance away by just sliding along the ground with the FEL. The other larger tree was easily pulled out with the LS after digging around the root ball with the back hoe. After I got it dragged back away from the creek, I was able to chain it up on the LS FEL and cut off about 20 feet of the tree just leaving the root ball. It was still about as much as I was comfortable with hauling it in the FEL.
Thanks to my grandson's help the clean up only took about 3 hours including the chainsaw time to cut up the trees into manageable pieces to haul in my Kubota RTV and dump at the burn pile.
My brother in law still has a large 100 year old oak on the ground in one pasture and his neighbor to the north has one of her very old oak trees blow down on his fence. I guess I will help him clean that up later today and fix the fence. I wake at daylight and go to work, but he likes to sleep very late so it is usually 10 am or later by the time he is up and about.

I purchased a 40x60x12 steel building, dismantled and moved it to my home. Lots of seat time.:cool2:

Now that's a real purdy setup!

Thanks, here is the one near the other end of the driveway, to keep the horses away from the house and outbuildings.

Moved 32 yards of topsoil around the new pool and patio and then hand raked it. Thank God for my tractor because it would have been tedious moving it with a wheelbarrow.

That's a cool dump machine you have there Xfaxman. I've never seen one of those before.
