to cut up the red oaks we dropped earlier this spring. Nice and dry and but were laying up on the stone walls. Didn't want them to start pulling them over so I used the backhoe bucket to hold them for him at waste height. Sure makes it easy cutting for him. Nice straight stuff, hated to cut it up for fire wood, but no one needed them for oak boards in the barn or anything so they went to wood. They only pick up loads of 30 or more here for the lumber mills and I just wanted them off the wall. Gave me some nice start on the wood for next year also... As you can see still color in the woods right now. A lot of the tree's in the background will come down over the winter as they have gotten to tall. I like looking at the next hill top over andthey are starting to block my signal for the satellite dish.

that you want to cut them down so that you will have a view of the next hill over? George, you have a beautiful home place! Kelley (Texas) :)

Wish that we had nice hardwoods.. We burn Larch [the absolute best] and fir.. Sometime I will toss a little birch in, but that leaves clinkers and we try to minimize it.

Nice ATV.. I am looking for one to go hunting with

We have a lot of it here. I try to only take the junk stuff or bent up oaks but like these, they were in my way. The quad I bought in 1998. Very useful tool around the place. We are always using it out in the woods for something. Mostly bringing in wood from way out there where I can't get with the big machines.... Like your talking, we use it to bring in deer. I usually go get the neighbors for them also. Wife uses it from time to time to check on the horses if way out back or to get mail. I have a attachement I made up for my leave blower also that hangs off the rack. Lets me blow one side from the middle then to the other on the way back. Helps to drain off in the winter if you get those leaves off it on the sides. Taking hay out to animals, or just cleaning up a pasture of junk...even just running over to neighbors houses.... I go for a lot of long rides on it also in this area.... This one is 4 wheel drive all the time. Its a 350 cc. More than enough for my needs. I have the suspension nice and soft on it so it don't beat the back up to bad on rough stuff.....Fun in the snow also. Not to useful with a plow on it, to light.....At least not for what I have to plow. snow here is pretty heavy. Wet snow, even my backhoe don't care much for it. The D-4 don't really care except the blade on that is old style so no angle set up on so at some point I have to push the big roll off to the side of the driveway. I've seen them still there in late April if in the shade. I'll make a video of one of my snow plowing adventures this winter....

Alice loves her Kubota 900 rtv.. ideal for doing horsey stuff... But I want an ATV just to get out in the woods.

are more fun to slide around on, but the 4x4 just crawl over stuff nice and easy. No popping the front end up. Lot of good used stuff around, don't know how many out your way, but I would think a lot of them.... Find one from an older guy and more than likely it was not beat on. My buddy just bought a Artic cat... This is his second year using it. First year on antelope, check this shot out 2 weeks ago in Wyoming.... He figured he would never use it. Now that he has it, he covers a lot more ground scouting before season and he says it sure is easy getting them back to camp, fact he said its fun now.... He hunts all the time, only eats game he hunts, fishes all the time, also. We grew up together hunting. He lives in Washington state and here in CT. Flies between them about every 6 to 8 weeks... he will be back here on Nov 16 for 4 weeks to hunt at his place and ours for white tails...

piece of equipment. Got all kinds of attachments, can get in and out of spots others can't. Often we would swing them in with the crane into areas they couldn't drive into and they would run around the buildings with them with cinder block, bricks, dirt or equipment...
A got we used to deal with on big square hay bales used one with the big forks on it to move the 400 lbs square bails around. He had two of them and offered me one for a good price. We were going after it that weekend, when we got a phone call. His shop burned down, with the old one, the new one and a pretty new dozer. Insurance paid for some of it, but no wheres near what he had in it for equipment....
