    Scavenging in the brush pile before I burn it. Forgot to take a pic of the total pile, but I pulled out about 2/3 cord of Pine & Cherry. Time consuming, but I hate to waste it.

    Have you come across and woodticks yet?

    We haven't. Just lucky, I guess.

    So far so good here. I don't seem to have a real bad infestation here. Gotta really check when I come back from other properties though. I'm surprised with the mild winter we had too.

    Thanks, home brewed by some old boy with time & skills. It's well thought out & very functional. It'll fit in a lot of tight spots & pull way more than you'd think. Money well spent.

    Working in the woods seems tough on my tractor.

    Has your grandson driven it yet?

    Correct, that pile was trees that were pushed out 5 years ago now I think. I plan to put another building in that spot eventually.
    Yes sir, I've had him run it more than once, he loves it!
