I introduced myself here about a month ago and asked if my tractor could handle a 7 ft. finish mower. It does, I got a used 7 ft king cutter and it works well. Thanks for the info.
I have since got a Timber King Sawmill and have cut up a bunch of Hemlock trees for lumber to build an implement shed. The Hemlocks are dying because of the hemlock woolly adelgid, a pest that lives under the bark. It looks to me that I am going to loose all of the Hemlocks on the 92 acres that I have for hunting about 2 hours from my home. There are other people intrested in boards for barn siding and I wont let the trees go to waste. There is also alot of mature hardwood (mostly Red Oak) that I was going to have timbered but now I can cut them up myself and have a hobby that should last serveral years. The sawmill will be a handy thing to have around.
I also got a new model 40A Tajfun winch and am amazed at how much power it has. I needed to remove an old black walnut tree and I wanted to save the root ball to see if I could get some gun stock blanks out of it (the stump needed to come out to make room for the impliment shed anyway). I didnt really think that the winch would pull it down but I hooked the cable up high was suprised to see that it pulled the tree right out of the ground. It wasn't easy and it lifted the front end of the tractor a few times but it did the job.
I am adding a few pictures of the Hemlocks, an oak that I cut and the Black Walnut that I winched out.
