What have you done with/to your GC Series 2300, 2400, 1700 Tractor TODAY

I used the backhoe to dig around the tree and then I pushed it over and filled in the hole

How tall was that tree?

Yup, I've done it like that before, saves time digging out the stump. :drink:

Lol "aghast". That's a fantastic word and should be used more often.

I find it remarkable that people don't understand that not only are they paying for someone's time but for wear, tear and equipment financing. Here in NY you need insurance out the backside and even special licensing by township to do that kind of work.

Some people are just pure bs is all I could say, they could give a shiitake about your time, you're equipment, effort, whatever.

Last year, one of my neighbors down the road sent their handyman here, asking help digging out a busted field drain that was gushing water. I was there for a couple hours, all backhoe work, hoe covered with mud...I was digging in soup, basically. So yeh, all that work (the handyman would have been into next week, digging all that out with his shovel), used some fuel obviously, and then spent a good while scraping mud out of my tractor.

For all of that, no thank you, no nothing. Not even a note in the mailbox, what pricks! I was like, you're unreal. I saw the neighbor dude walking down the road past my house one time after that, I yelled after him "YOU'RE WELCOME!!" lol. Needless to say, next time he needs help, he could go fornicate himself.

Wife and I started taking down an Ash tree. We dropped the largest of the 3 trunks (about 16-18" or so at the base). It was a beautiful tree that was ravaged by an emerald ash bore like every ash tree in the area here. With rain incoming and high winds the other 2 trunks will have to wait. They can be seen over her back.

On a side note .... Wife thought the wood was beautiful so i planted the seeds of getting a sawmill so that I could turn a situation like this into usable wooden furniture in the future. Lol

CG- want to get a sawmill myself, just no $. Have taken down about a dozen large Ash so far, a few in the 80+ feet height :-(

Did a little land clearing and wood moving this weekend.

First post - added toolbox storage to GC1710. Still trying to figure out how to attach pics, I tried last week, and logged in today and low and behold I had a pic in my folder. So I will try to post it.
