Other folks can get over it. I'm not in the land clearing business.
Anon said: X2 for Termite"s comment ... Love this blog , you have a lot more fans than you think
I appreciate this. But, I don't do it to build a fan base. It's a diary where I talk about anything that piques my interest. Sometimes, it is just to remember a part number because it is easy to search. I talk about politics, my hobbies, projects and cooking.
Another Anon said: Last night at 6 pm I got my garden tilled ahead of today's rain.
Priceless..
Oh, yeah, a PTO mounted rotary tiller is a joy to own. I let one get away from me, and I miss it. It made putting in a garden (or renovating a pasture) very easy. It's on my short list of thigs to look for.

New brush hogs are shipped dry. 90 weight is cheap. Mine's full, I filled it yesterday.

ReplyDeleteMay want to re-think that. If a property is not too 'technical' i.e. hilly, swamp, sinkholes, etc., sitting on your butt driving in circles is a good way to build up neighbor good will.
Cash or better trades.
If I had adjacent grown up property, I'd offer to knock it down for near free. Leaving some green belts for the outdoor critters.
I bought my tractor and my chainsaw for my use. I will not lend either to anyone. I will help a neighbor or friend with either tool but I want to wear them out doing my work
