Four or five years ago I was gifted a new eight foot section of HDPE culvert road pipe. This is commonly used for state highways when a small stream is routed under a road. It is available in multiple diameter options, and is made from high density polyethylene plastic and is double wall...

^^^ @ RCW, I'm in the same county as you, so the unexpected long stretch of decent sunny warm weather has me doing some last minute items and tractor chores. It looks like at least five straight days of great weather. The last week has been chilly with regular usage of the pellet stove. My...

We got the final ladder stand installed at the property today for the 2024 deer season. It was in the low 40's early this morning and it warmed up to almost 70 by noon. The stand we installed today is the one that I knocked down with the Kubota. After inspecting all the steel tubing and welds...

Another phone call this morning from the lawyers office. The second corporate defendant has been served. Both of them have 30 days to respond.

Several days ago I called my lawyers office and asked for an update. They were awaiting notification from the process servers that the two corporate defendants had been served with court papers. Yesterday the lawyers office called back. One of the process servers did their job and served the...

We deployed the mobile hunting shack in the woods on Saturday. It's reasonably level, and supported by five cinderblocks with wood cribbing. IMG_20240928_132345735_HDR by cee_Kamp 32ACP, on Flickr IMG_20240928_132420434_HDR by cee_Kamp 32ACP, on Flickr IMG_20240928_132443748_HDR by cee_Kamp...

My BX25 has similar 3 point hitch concerns. (BX2360 tractor with factory backhoe) I was Bush Hogging with a 4' cutter. Over a period of say 10 minutes, it would "droop" and end up cutting too short. Also, the closer to the ground you get, more rock strikes. I did a bit of research and soon...

I bought a very nice condition used BX 25 some years back and it came with a factory installed backhoe. When we bought our home and installed the cabin at the recreational property, that backhoe certainly got a lot of use. Now, that backhoe sits on a cart out in my shop building. I built a 3...

When we Bush Hogged the interior field at the recreational property at the beginning of this month, all the extra equipment/cooler of water/hand tools/battery chainsaw/chair for the boss all were carried in the BX front bucket. It's several hundred yards from the cabin down an old woods road to...

We have completed the mobile hunting shack! It has taken every bit of spare time available for the last month. The goal was to make it warm, dry, and mouse/bee/wasp/hornet proof. The insects may build nests on the outside, but have no available pathways for building nests inside. The shack will...

Not sure yet. The seat is ratchet strapped and chained/locked to the tree. So nobody could readily steal the stand. Probably, I will need to get my extension ladder to the tree and get up there and get after the task. I looked carefully yesterday, nothing appears tweaked except for the very...

It wasn't until I retired that I had the time and equipment for doing some of the projects I wanted done. We've got a irregularly shaped field down near the middle of the recreational property. It's landlocked by dense forest. It was overgrown 20+ years ago when the land was purchased. There are...

I got an email from my lawyer today. They filed my complaint yesterday in State Supreme Court against the two corporate defendants. Both will be served with the court paperwork by process servers. This lawyer isn't fooling around. He had the paperwork filed with the court in less than one week...

My brother in law died back in April from a cardiac event. I do miss him. He was the most skilled and passionate hunter I've ever met. 70 years young. He grew up as a child on a 500 acre farm and his Dad would give him one .22 LR cartridge every morning. His job was to hunt up dinner with that...

When this mess is finished, I ***might*** have a small pond installed right in the center of the easement. When the easement was drafted in the 1940's, the land was all open/no woods. It's ~ 70 acres total, with 61 acres in well grown forest now. So the easement states I can't plow/till within a...

^^^ That is true here. I have an easement document that has been passed forward since the 1940's as the property has changed ownership over the ~ 80 + years. It clearly identifies the power company as liable for damage outside the easement corridor. They ran electric power to that remote land...

∆∆∆ LOL, I am already retired. The only work I do is what I want to do. But a new tractor and truck would be wonderful. Especially if they didn't have payment books.

Yes, I'm local to you. Both my home and the recreational property. So you have undoubtedly figured out who the perpetrators are. I don't wish for either of them to be identified by name at this time. The lawyer I hired is in the county south of us. He's big on news conferences and print media.

In late summer 2023, we were at the recreational property doing some bush hog work. There is a small interior field of several acres that hadn't been mowed in over 20 years. That field is well away from the road frontage, and entirely surrounded by woods. It cleaned up nicely and in the weeks...

I did an afternoon visit to the recreational property this afternoon with one of my motorcycle riding/hunting buddies. Today, nothing Kubota related. We brought my Honda Pioneer side by side and three Stihl chainsaws, fuel, bar oil, and woods tools. Today's task was ride around on all of my...
