Today, the leaner had to go.
Did a plunge cut in it and well, got the damn saw stuck in it. Not sure how it happened exactly but I used the little saw to complete the job. Friggin tree was hollow...really scary.
He it is...looked worse in person.
what the what...?
glad that one is over.

I been MIA haha. Haven't done much with the tractor, for nearly a month it rested in the garage. I got it out today though! I cut down a tree this morning that was looking kinda iffy and just ugly.
Used the logging chain I made for the first time today. Worked awesome!! It felt into a sketchy spot but the tractor had no problem pulling it.
Cut it up in blocks and gave it away at the end of my driveway.
Then after some clean up and a sandwich, I removed a couple stumps. One from this tree and the other from a tree I cut earlier this year.
I decided to try something and put the pallet forks close together and use them to dig around the stump. It worked better than I thought! It even ripped out a lot of the roots. The big ones I just swung the axe to break them. I mean still wasn't easy but after that, I just pushed on it a few times and it ripped out of the ground finally.
Then I could finally move forward with my drainage line. I only added one section, I had enough for the day.
It's getting there. I really need some clean fill. Gonna need a lot of it. But then again, I don't mind either. It just gives me a project I can do on occasion ya know? But it was nice being back in the tractor again. I definitely pushed it a bit today but that's what it's meant to do!
I can't believe the amount of stuff I got down around the property already with this tractor. I question myself why I didn't get one sooner!!

Finished yup the yard hydrant project. Also had removed several stumps that left some giant craters in the yard. Took the backhoe off (ridiculously easy to do) and used the box blade and land rake to grade everything the best I could.
Problem here are the rocks. Box blade would rip up rocks (which isn't a problem) and I'd go back over that area to fill in the holes left behind and it would then unearth more rocks! It's a perpetual cycle that just kept repeating itself! Had enough for the day and think it at least looks better than before I started.
Thinking I may need to rig up/make some kind of rock collector to get all the little surface rocks.
