    The ruts are in the woods. Several passes with the tractor and it will even out.

    Ohio, that is a big load on that trailer; looks great. As for the mud, not too many of us like it, but then there are those crazies who intentionally make mud so they can cover their trucks with it and say they are having fun; even if they get stuck... Crazy for sure.

    Just a word here on your son. Must protect the family jewels! If you ever get one of those logs that split hard but then suddenly break apart and go flying, he is definitely in the wrong place. This is why I sit right in front of the splitter so if anything flies, it will miss me or at most, hit a shin or foot. That will definitely not hurt like getting hit in the crotch! But when you teach him, have some fun with this!

    There you go using common sense again. That’s just ludicrous.

    Uh amen. Caught a split firing out but I was splitting this horizontally too. Flea flicker just 2 inches above that spot. Oooh.

    Been there many times, I've had to pull the truck out with the tractor and pull the tractor out with the truck. Often having to unhook whatever was hooked onto the stuck equipment, good times. The real fun comes when you have to dig the tractor or truck out because you buried it.
