Used the 1025R to pull the dump trailer around while doing some cleanup along the woods edge by the road.
We removed a few more small trees to give the azaleas more light & open things up a bit. Nick |

You should have seen it when we moved in 7 years ago. It was an oddball unsold 1.1 acre building site next to our place. Downed pines (old ice storms) that looked like jackstraws, a really nice crop of poison ivy & a liberal distribution of briars. Any place sunlight got through was filled with cedar & gum tree saplings. We bought it about 4 years back to preserve our privacy buffer & started cleaning up.

Good wife
I will move tractor Thursday after work (in new bee suit)  and she said she wants to fill hole with a couple gallons of gas (Hole is about 1-1/4 diameter, that explains millions of bees)  , wait 10 minutes and light them on fire with a Molotov cocktail 
I said OKAY as long as it's a plastic bottle

New to me LandPride 7' shredder. Couldn't pass on the deal. Mowed our hay ground to knock the weeds down. Pastures next. Hopefully we can keep the horses eating the entire pasture and not just the new growth after they rotate. Tractor is a 1960 JD 4010.

Not a tractor in the traditional sense, but did some pulling today.
A few weeks ago a storm uprooted two of my maples. I'm not an expert on lumber for boards, but one of them was very straight, seemed like maybe a good candidate. Thought I'd at least give it a shot, bring a guy I know in who has a sawmill to take a look and see what he thinks. The trees are on a semi steep hill with a trail not too far uphill from them running along the side of the hill. No room to pull with a tractor where they are. Picked up a used Columbus-McKinnon 1.5 ton chain hoist/puller off Craigslist. Using that to pull the logs up to the trail, then I can use a tractor from there. Cut one 10' section and got it up to the trail tonight. Worked out alright, but pretty slow going. The puller has maybe a 12-15' chain, had to reset it maybe 5 times.
