Thanks!Congratulations. Is it new purchase or just paid off? What do you plan to do with the place now (anything new?)?
Awesome! And Congrats.Thanks!
Just paid off. My wife and I purchased it back in Jan. 2019 after we got the last of three through college. Previous owner used the open acreage for hay production. We’ve been slowly returning it back to nature under wildlife management.
Anything new? Met with the custom home builder today.It will be a weekend home - no plans to retire there at the moment. But, that is still about 5 years out .
Nice…would you mind sharing a few more pics of the bucking station? I am thinking about building one and would like to steal some ideas.Had to relocate my bucking station... forks and straps come in handy
I'll go out and take a pic here in just a bit. It's not fancy, just sits on top of pallets so that I'm cutting right at waist height.Nice…would you mind sharing a few more pics of the bucking station? I am thinking about building one and would like to steal some ideas.
Do you set it directly on the ground or does it have some legs not in the pic?

Minister of Finances.......might have to use that.....Terrible day cleaning up one of the pastures preparing it for a fall harrow. The Minister of Finances wanted some seat time and I couldn't find a reason to fire up the M7060.View attachment 136498 View attachment 136500 View attachment 136501
Maybe plasma cutter instead?Unloaded a bunch of steel donated by my son-in-law from a demolition job he’s doing. Grapples are the cat’s pajamas for unloading 18’ of telescope box beam made from 6” and 5” tubes. The 18’ is with them collapsed fully, so effectively I was lifting 18 feet of 6” square tube with a 1” wall. Only the largest piece made the LX want to tippy toes a little but I didn’t have any ballast other than the loaded rear tires.
I can now build the lean-to sheds for firewood, lumber, and tractor implements/attachments. Whacked the left rear taillight on my trailer with the first piece while I was figuring out the best wiggle to put ‘em where I want them for temporary storage. Got about 20’ of 2” tube with 5/16 wall, at least 30’ of 3”, upwards of 50’ each of 4”,5” and 6”as well. Got plenty for lots of projects which may include a sawmill shed. Might use some of the 6” foundations for the sawmill (when I make up my mind about what I want). I see an oxy-acetylene torch rig in my future.
Need a lot more air compressor than I have for that. The torch rig would be a little more portable and versatile, imo. I learned soldering,?brazing and torch welding in high school vo-ag class, but I’ve blinked a couple times since I graduated (1976). Might have killed a couple brain cells along the way, too.Maybe plasma cutter instead?
I have plenty pf compressed air (20 CFM @175 psi), but I also have too much age now to use it.Need a lot more air compressor than I have for that.

A plasma cutter ain’t outta the question, though. I’ve collected a lot of big-boy toys in the past 5 years, and all it took was a bit of remodeling to make the missus happy. I even have her blessing for a landscape rake and a sawmill. Must be doin something right.
Off the beaten path but roughly midway between Bryan/College Station and Waco.Awesome! And Congrats.
Where is this place near?
The L260 is a nice tractor. I have a neighbor who has one. He uses it for firewood also.Guilty- no pictures. But we yarded trees with the L260. It gets around good in the woods and pulls good for its size. Have to not get to greedy with a light frontend.
