Just a quick update from work started under a previous post...

Had the wall completed a couple of weeks ago...but still too dry to spread grass seed...and the tractor moving fieldstone and backfill was a huge timesaver!

Before and after...

Nice flat stone make the job easy. Looks great.
Seat time was mowing tumbleweed with the chain mower yesterday.

The project for yesterday was playing "musical trees" with several maples. First, I decided to replace the "little tree that couldn't" (red sunset maple) with a bigger one that I planted in the pasture a couple of months ago. So first order was to dig the poor little guy up and stick him in a pot to be moved with the carryall. He's not looking too well right now, so I'll put him back in the nursery and see if he survives.

Next, switched to pallet forks and out to the pasture to dig up the bigger and better red sunset maple.

Moved tree, now planted where the little guy used to be.

Next was to use the forks to dig up and carry a full-sized maple from my nursery to be taken to the spot in the pasture where I just removed the bigger red sunset maple (pallet forks are great for this stuff). I had let this tree go too long without re-potting and it had quite a few roots growing through the bottom of the pot, so no way I could have gotten it out without the forks.

Finally, switched to the bucket to haul some wood mulch to the newly-planted trees.

It was a full afternoon's work for 2520 and me.

Today's seat time was getting my fire fighting kit all ready to go. This new to me trailer allows me to carry another IBC and still have about 2 ft at the end to put the pump, hoses and what not.

About 550-ish gallons of water and a small gas pump.

Hopefully I don't need to use it.

Put a little soap in your tanks. Makes your water "wetter" and will help water particles stick to what you want if needed.

Alot of tree and brush removal.. the debris forks is starting to look like hillbillies teeth but getting alot of cleanup done. The Vevor quick hitch didn’t survive very long. That hitch attachment is no match for a drawbar which I knew just wasn’t careful enough. One stump in the ground thats loose but mocking me.
