We prayed about it at church today.
Kyle, I have guy up the road from me who used to run a dozer service and his family has owned lots of dozers. He said I could hire him to go look at any dozer I might consider. However, after listening to Eddie Walker, I think owning and operating a dozer can be a real challenge. I'm starting to believe I should just find one with a cab and a/c to cut down on the dust and heat. I'll still have a bone-shaking ride, but I'll do it in comfort. The problem with that is that it puts another $6k-10k onto the price. With the stock market in a downturn lately, I'm not going to be buying anything too quickly. I was hopeful when the Dow was 13.5k and going toward 14k, but at less than 12.5k, I'm lookin' for ways to maintain without scraping any of the "honey" off the top.

The only time they pose an issue for me, is when I have something they want, like corn at the deer feeder. I have had them get in my garden 3 years ago (after the corn) and used the same remedy your using.
Well the rain came and it was a windy, loud one, but I am now the proud owner of just under 1-1/2" of new water:thumbsup: I'm so thankful, I think I'll go fish'n

My garden and my wife (who is doing most of the work this year) are also all smiles. We got about 1/2" up here. Not as much as Dennis, but enough to give things a really good soaking. I don't even care if my drained pond caught a little water. I'll just pump it dry again. I was in it yesterday, and it is very solid with 6" of mud or less in most areas. It hasn't "lived" long enough to have a lot of silt.
