    If they have good hard wood, they said yes! I used to go 1 mike down road to tree dump. This is much easier :D

    What usually happens is I pick at it couple hours and brothers will show up and block it up.. BUT 1 brother has my kubota. I will get it finished with hydraulics..

    it’s almost 80 up here that’s hot for us northerners

    Way to go Lyle! :thumbs: Nice that your unicorn finally showed and you made a good connection. Did you buy them a case of Bud light?...oh wait, nevermind! :doh:

    At 80* and full sun you did better than i wouldve. I prefer the cool/cold weather.
