    Looks like nice country there, even better that the ground isn't white. Have fun.

    Nice shot of your splits in woodpiles. As 38 said, no white stuff on the ground yet, good for you and working outdoors.

    Great work! Are those slopes as steep as they appear? How do you get it out of there?

    They are in places. All the trees you see there and some not in the picture are coming down they all ash and have been hit with the eab so i cut two down work them up repeat.

    I have a 1972 jd 140 lawn mower its techically a garden tractor but i still call it a lawnmower anyways its as stout as a tank if it gets traction it will pull it. The wagon i have holds 1/2 ton it chugs right along most time half throttle
    Does damm good for being only 14 hp its hydrostatic it was the first lawnmower/garden tractor model that was hydrostaic that john deere produced

    It will pull 5 of anything made today of the same hp or a little higher backwards

    Not sure what's around there but that looks like a nice natural animal funneling area. Got coyotes & deer?
