Looks like you've been pretty busy! Great job getting it cleaned up though. Your K-T was up to the challenge! :cool:

You've been working!! And a nice looking job it is. It is amazing what the tractor can do!
I occasionally forget to let go of the FEL joystick, and dump a quarter of a bucket of dirt all over the tractor. Do it with a log like those, and it can roll back and kill you! I'd recommend some arms on that forklift to prevent it...

Nice! Thanks for the pictures. I have 54 acres here in central New Yorkistan that I will begin managing next week. Just bought a flail mower and the L3800 is at the dealer having a backhoe installed . . Looks like your L3200 is not afraid of some hard work!!

What did you do to get it unstuck??

actually it's my new water supply line for the yard.
Funny you say that because I just read my response and thought what the hell was I talking about. LOL Also, it was over two years ago. How have things progressed for you?

the front of the shop is painted. trim and door needs installed

side entrance almost done.

the back of the shop..

installing the metal roofing, over the first roofs vent space. vented double roofs cut heat gain on the inside up to 40'f.
the reflective foil on the sheeting didn't hold up very well during installation.

the new driveway after a couple years use. i installed drain pipe on both sides of the driveway.
as i got the L3200 stuck several times as i was clearing the damaged trees from the area.
i layered the sand, base and clay. packing each layer before the next one applied.

a birds eye view of the driveway and the yard.

place goes almost to the house in background.
the tall grass is due to having a B3350HSDC that is a shop queen..
the front yard is cut with a old lawn tractor. it takes over three days to cut what the B could do in about three hours. (i don't put in full days, as my skin burns to easy during the middle of the day.)...
