Kevin! Finally somebody stepp'n up to take control of this thread
That's a great looking tractor you have. Are you working that area to plant something?
Thanks for taking the time to post those pictures, very nice!
Welcome to the OTT buddy, glad to have you aboard!

Thanks Scott....
my yard was never very well graded/landscaped when the house was built. spec built house, lower end of the market ( sub 100k ) big lots, with the potential for really nice yards. I've lived here 10yrs, it's time to do something with it.
huge fenced in backyard, and making it larger
Above, you see the new posts for the larger fenced in area, everything behind those is where I am currently working, all the light brown is KUDZU, in it's dormant state picture taken about 4 weeks ago.
snow pictures, the best I have of what was. the picture on the right it of the trees I was digging out in previous pix. they were covered in Kudzu, effectively dead. the clump of trees in the left picture are still there, I will clear out the weeds and debris around them and eventually plant grass back there. The red box you see is an improvised pick up bed with camper shell upside down, it is gone now as well.
after the Kudzu scrape off, and some basic ripping with the box blade, the haze is smoke from a neighbor burning yard stuff.
the trees are now gone, and I have graded a bit to facilitate drainage, waiting for it to rain so I can go watch and see where water collects.
I have never done anything like this before, so I'm learning as I go....
More pix later.
