Kiotis at work (the other orange tractor).

Very nice job Sarge!!

 

For sure! That does add a good amount of level work area.

 

Well, the Kioti has been getting a workout this week. Two more loads of fill delivered yesterday afternoon and I had to get those spread before everything froze again (fun doing it in the dark). I did use a harrow drag behind the ATV to do a little finish work today, but that was the last bit of levelling done. Big change to the area from where it used to be (first pic), and I'm pleased with the amount of new useable land I have. I would have to check my records (since some fill was delivered last year) but I think the final tally was ten dump truck loads of fill and two of boulders (not counting the boulders I grabbed from around the property). The job isn't completely finished, however with temps dropping below freezing pretty much from here on out, I'm done until after mud season next spring. At that time, I'll see how everything has settled, relevel the area, and then put a layer of gravel on top. At least for right now I can use the area (split a bunch this afternoon and the first pallet bin is filled and out of the way). The new useable area is all the fill to the left of the red line (last pic).

 

Big difference

 

Guess I timed that just right. What a difference just a few hours makes.

 

Glad that is your backyard of snow and not mine! That work was a beautiful transformation of that area!! Funny thing about rocks, placed as ornamentals they sink into the ground eventually, in a field they rise to the top!

 

About half again as much for a front mounted blower than a 3-point system however so nice on a day like today when the wind is whipping and the back is aching to just sit in the heated cab and drive forward.

 

My Kioti was a good machine the 5-6yrs I had it, not one single hiccup and I ran it hard. I only replaced it to go from a 30hp to a 60-70 and wasnt fond of the dealer nor the distance.

 

You're getting a chit load done EODMSgt , nice work.

 

Quite a difference! Looking great
