Ok... day one of two clean up is done! Tomorrow I have a few broken trees to take down but that will be the easy work compared to today. It's just very annoying to collect all these tiny pieces of debris scattered everywhere like a blanket.
I used the PTO blower, rounded everything up in a big pile, then I attached 1x1 channel steel to the grapple with U-Bolts, zip tied snow fence to it, and scooped them all up! It worked really well. The blower made short work of moving everything, such a pleasure to use that implement. The pine straw rake will allow a little more precision for the next storm, the blower can really send things flying.
I'm tired, really enjoyed the seat time, property almost good again, and it was too freaking hot out
David how thick were the steel tabs you welded on, how big were they? I will order two cut squares from metal depot then drill the holes in them with a drill press.
the day in pictures:
oh... so I made the leaf mod while baking inside my 400° shed, instead of my air-conditioned shop, because I was rushing... I go to reverse out through the double doors and the bars were too wide to fit out the door did not think that one through. Cut off wheel, removed 4" from the width and was back in business. Good thing I just didnt turn around and mash it into reverse.
