Great job. Looks like you now have the right equipment to do almost anything you want.

For now, next up is haying equipment. It did take a lot of research and I'm happy with the choices so far. I don't think I'll run into anything that would make me wish I'd gone a little bigger.

Time to head back to work, sitting in the Anchorage airport waiting for my flight to Dutch Harbor so I figured one last picture and Video for a few months. The ground got saturated to the point I could no longer work on the driveway so I had an old fence line buried in the blackberries to remove. Basically went into it with the brush rake and pulled it back out. Took a couple days but now I can finish brush hogging the edge of the field and clear some trails through the trees.
Here's a video of most of the property, I tried to make it short as possible but still ended up with 30 minutes.

I've been back at it for a couple months and getting way behind in updates. I finally have the driveway done and i can honestly say I am tired of pulling huge stumps. The power company is coming out on Thursday to estimate and bury the conduit, probably won't be cheap but I'm looking at it as once and done. Here's the before/after pictures.

Fantastic driveway. Its a lot of work but you will appreciate the efforts later with ease of maintenance. Are you sure your best skills are as a fisherman and not construction worker. I'm truly amazed at the progress and quality of your work. Great job!!!

Impressive job. The before and after pictures really show how much work it took. That dozer and excavator were worth every penny I'm sure.

It's looking awesome!
Have you thought about putting outdoor hydrants on the property?
When do you go back to fish? I'd sure miss my tractor :laughing:
