Spent 20 hours in the seat the last three days doing everything from bush hogging and tilling to making the bullet stop at the end of the rifle range bigger with the FEL.
The Caroni flail performed flawlessly. I took out some trees that were technically too big (some up to three inches) for the mower but it chewed them all to shreds without a burp. A couple times I thought to myself, "This could be expensive" but it went through 'em like a chainsaw. Those heavy duty knives are TOUGH.
The King Kutter tiller chewed up virgin ground for food plots like a hot knife through butter. That thing is awesome. It would shake, rattle and roll and disgorge rocks and hidden debris pronto. I would till the area once. Then I would spread fertilizer. Then I would till the area a second time. Then I would spread the seed. Then I would back over the area with the FEL down in "float" to press the seed into the ground and cover them with some dirt.
The FEL made bush hogging the roads a piece of cake. I was able to clear fallen trees WHILE bush hogging with the FEL where as before I would have to stop, get off the tractor, man-handle the fallen debris, then get back on and go. The FEL makes life MUCH easier.
It took me the better part of a day before heading to the Hunt Club to figure out how to get all the equipment on my trailer and get the load balanced so that there is 600 lbs of weight on the tounge. Here's a pic of everything loaded:
