Glad you got a power assist. heh... if'n I didn't have it, woulduh been a fire 'round these parts...
More deer plots? Naw... just clearin' an area near the gae so's tuh make a good first impression on people... pro'ly plant orchard grass, lespidisa and wild flowers... discovered two blackberry brambles we didn't know about... location and approach duly noted...
Those are some big saplings!
Sounds like our 'middle forty'. The 'back forty' is just about as bad, but we don't go back there. We call it Mordor, and that's where we're dumping all the branches that we're cutting off the bushes as we take them out. There is a runooff ditch that cuts through our lot, and we set up some 2x6's on some big logs so we could roll the wheelbarrow across it to Mordor. We call it the 'Bridge of Khazad Dum'. Sense a pattern here? ;o)
SSQ wants to get landscape rake for Gimli. You can switch out the backhoe bucket for other tools, and the rake will come in handy pulling out poison ivy vines! We're gonna take it slow cause we don't know how much Gimli can handle.
