my UTV is used strictly on my property. I love seeing the scenic mountain trails many of you get to use.

Finally finished my UTV/tractor trails through my woods! A friend and I made very little progress years ago. Him and my nephew stopped by this week (had vacation finally) and we got it done!
I used the bucket of my tractor to push through small trees and brush. we dragged old 6X6 beams I had been saving for this project.
used a combination of the tractor and UTV to drag them to the creak.


so much fun and only one injury

I need to start some.  We had a couple of good nice fire breaks dozed in when the Forestry Service came out and did a prescribed burn.  That's a good start, but I'd like to have more running throughout the property.  I'm kind of waiting until my brother in law gets a mini-excavator though.  I'm not very handy at contouring stuff with our tractor bucket.

A couple of old videos;

Riding the trails in the snow
2013-2-22 Driving my Razr in the snow


I used to go out on the road, and ride to the creek and back, but I don't do this anymore


I still ride the trails though, and deer hunt along them. You can see my blind in the background, and it's just up the hill from that boat you saw in the snow video.

I have trails all over my property. However I ride dirt bikes so the trails are really easy and not very noticeable.

Would build a small jump for the creek crossing. Don't need a bridge when you can just fly over the creek.

Very neat.  I don't post pics on this site any more but even if I did, I wouldn't have much to post about.  I have 9 acres and have a short loop trail through my woods but nothing as nice as some I see in this thread.  I mostly ride in National Forest trails which are MUCH longer than my little trail.  

Nice pics!  Neat bridge too!

Mowed about another mile of the trail that hadn't been done yet this year.

Today while doing a little trimming I made a video of a section of my trail. Don't bother watching the second half. it is a repeat of the first half.

1.8 inches of rain over night. 3 inches in the last 3 days. Our fair is now over so went out with the P500 to clean brush from the storms off the trail. Made a short video of running on the muddy trail.

This thread has me thinking about where I can make some new trails now.
