What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

[fried1765]

Still got some more cleaning up to do , really need rain so I can burn all the stuff I got piled up first. But we did use the Bota to help throw some angry words at the dirt

he starts shooting team in a few weeks, got cleaned out to 50 yards for now (they shoot at 25 and 50 yards)

Wonderful training!
I started on an informal rifle "team" at ten years old.
9 years later was on University/ROTC rifle team.

I Bush-Hogged and Sub-Soiled two weeks ago and even though we still have not gotten any rain, I had to do what I had to do. I disked this morning and

A Grandson followed up with fertilizer and seed.

And then I covered. We have a 30-50% chance of rain Wed-Fri so maybe my seed will get some moisture. If I loose it, I will just have to belly up and buy more seed.

I cannot imagine having ground that is level enough to mow 84”, it would be scalp city at my place!

I'm just above sea level so it's pretty flat.

A lightning strike three years ago did severe damage to about 1/2 of a large Maple in my front yard. 1 year ago a large section fell into an adjacent tree. Today it finally made it's way ALMOST to the ground.

Thanks to my Kubota and some chain, I was able to get it on the ground today and start processing it.

50-50 Wheat & Oats for Deer.

I’ve got a device that’s been used for pecans and should handle walnuts. They’re not dired out enough yet - the shells flex into almost a “not-today” smile. I did manage to crack one, not a lot of meat as you noted.

In the first run a few weeks ago, 10 walnuts gave me enough to flavor two bowls of ice cream. The squeeze may not be worth the juice. Too bad, walnuts are my favorite.

Yeah, the black walnuts don't offer much unless you're looking for something to come out from under a lawn mower at about 300 MPH and hit you in the shins or take out a window from 100 yards. We had a large tree in our yard when I was a kid. I found the green ones quite useful for batting practice, if not a bit smaller than a normal baseball. They make a wicked stain on anything that crushes that outer husk, though. The tree was next to a shed, which had a tin roof. Sounded like a large caliber rifle firing when they fell and hit that roof. I guess you know whose job it was to clean up the leaves and nuts out of the yard. My mom decided she wanted some walnuts from that tree. I broke three pecan crackers trying, and she changed her mind. Hickory nuts are quite tasty, too, but probably 2x the trouble of black walnuts. I'll buy 'em in a bag if I want some, LOL. The hybrid walnuts aren't so bad, and have a lot more 'meat' in 'em.

Nothing wrong with softwoods, let them season like any other wood and they will heat your home. Burn times won’t be as long as there are less BTU per cord than other species. The old wife’s tale of using pine in your wood stove will burn your house down has been debunked time and time again.

No, won't burn the house down, but there's a lot more turpentine and resin in pine species that will leave behind a lot more soot (because it doesn't burn as hot as hardwood). While it may not burn the house down, you may occasionally ignite the soot in the flue, and that can be a little hair raising when you hear it the first time. It CAN damage a flue if that happens and isn't quickly extinguished, but most flues are triple wall these days and not likely to fail (which is exactly why they're triple wall). My step-dad's folks wouldn't let a piece of pine anywhere near their woodstove. Pretty much exclusively ash, maybe a little white oak for fuel. They'd light it with a few splinters of fat pine kindling, but only enough to get the fire started.

What wood are those posts? They don't look like the Black Locust we used when I was growing up in West Virginia

Yup, same as in Green County Pa, at my grandfather's farm.

20min ride on some Farm to Market roads, picked up another lost load, round hay bale. I like free!

Another nice score

Correction: Normal price 80 to $100

Current Drought prices ...$120 to $160

You're doing pretty good scrounging the road sides.

More cleaning up around the range, had to take down this, wasn’t very big, but it needed to finally come down

He was there with the Bota to haul it off

Unloaded this little fella…I guess they did not have a smaller pallet.

I thought this would be more appropriate than inflatables for the front yard this year…

Happy Halloween.
