No snow yet, and I've finished grinding leaves and brush with my MacKissis chipper/shredder. So, I put a newly ground ($5 only) chipper blade onto the Mac, parked it and mounted the ole LX4 brush hog again before servicing its blades.
This was my first brush-hog-only work. I just cranked the top link up short so the LX4 would lift fairly high and just lowered it over some brush and small trees. One autumn olive had to be attacked by the FEL first to make it go under the LX4, but I got er done.
It's a good time to brush hog. Can see stuff much more plainly now, even taller rocks among the brush to know not to lower too much at that spot, etc.
Getting some brush taken out that has persisted since I bought the property.
Ordered 80 small trees to go along the tree bank. Will be brush hogging that area tomorrow to get it clear to put the seedlings in when they come in March. That's a back-up, turn a bit and back-up again operation. Don't want to get close to the edge of the bank with the tractor.
