That's quite a difference in appearance HD, nice job.
Thanks.
Next step is to clean up along the fence and clean up the chips.

A SkidSteer with a forestry mulcher would make it so you wouldn't need a chipper!

I'm just here to help...

Looks great by the way. Has to be lots of job satisfaction for you seeing it cleaned up so well.

It’s on the “wish list”. Just need to find 100K+ in clearing. I have the dump truck, tractor with grapple & chain saws. I did find a nice Takeuchi high flow with a cab, now I have to have the money clawed out of my bank account!

Thanks. I plan on having it cleaned up so I can get close with hay mower & baler by next spring!

That's a huge difference. Where those rocks just laying there? Here in East Texas, rocks have to be brought in from Oklahoma and Arkansas. And they are expensive!!!!!

Trying to figure out a way to rake up the chippings. They’re too heavy for the grass.

Hay rake into a windrow then loader bucket into dump truck? Or can you set you tedder to fling it one direction to disperse it far enough that you don't have to pick it up?

I just winterized and stored the rake.
I did that about 10 years ago on another property and it worked very well.

Yeah I dug those out of the field about 5 years ago. The plan is to place rocks about every 10’ to discourage off roaders.

Sad that trespassers are always a problem all over the country.
