    Are you still using the totes? I found this to be the easiest way to make a roof...cut tank diagonally. Fits over the cage, sheds water, snow...and you can pile the wood higher. 20250508_153304.jpg 20250707_154525.jpg

    Yup still using totes. I like how you have those cut, I just cut the top of the tank off and re use the bars that hold them in place

    Deer don't mind wood cutting. They're pretty curious animals. I used to take my BIL hunting in the morning, cut wood in the middle of the day, and hunting in the afternoon.

    That's a little workhorse. I wonder if it would be more maneuverable without the mower deck...:sherlock::sherlock:

    It definitely is, we just got a smaller rider for the lawn and the deck will be coming off this for everything but occasional brush hogging
