Dear Case485Guy: I just caught your thread with the pictures of the clearing you did with the RR. Could you give me details about the ratchet rake you just obtained such as its make, model and how it attaches to a tractor. Also could you attach a few pictures of the attachment.
My daughter has 10 acres just north of Bandera and Ii shipped my Cat D6 dozer down a few years back to clear the underbrush and cedar trees. I read recently on another post that a fella down in Texas was clearing underbrush and killed a couple of rattlers with his shot gun. Do the rattlers climb onto the trees and high brush then onto the equipment? I would think and hope that the noise and rattle of heavy machines would get them to scatter. Many years back I had a chance to see what a rattler bite can do to a arm or leg at the old Santa Rosa in San Antonio? The only snake I like is the King...he knows what to do to rattlers.
Just curious, since you mentioned killing a rattler with your RR. I hope you people got some of the heavy rain the past few days.
Thanks...former resident of Harlingen but now freezing and wet way up in Toledo, Oh.
