Pictures from a skid steer mowing contractor

Forestry mulching is a tool, but once cut, you need to maintain, or it all comes back, and often thicker.

yeah, seems like mulcher + lots of goats is the right way

Most property when I am thru with it can easily be maintained with a small tractor and bush hog or a herd of goats , whichever way the owner prefers.

A little job while on the way to some other tree removal jobs, demo a shed and clean up a few brush piles, I removed the window and some shelves and a light from the shed and was done in about an hour.

Seems odd that somebody would hire you to tear down such a small shed. Are they elderly? Seems like it would of been easy for a home owner to push it over, light it on fire, and be done with it.

She is about 75 years old and wanted it demoed and moved about 100 yards into a hole to be burnt with brush, I suspect it would have been pretty tough for her to do it.

 

[EddieWalker]

Makes sense. She's lucky to know somebody that would do it for her!!!

Around here you'd just rent it out to someone for $1200/mo

Occasionally , I did one just a few months ago for a customer that I have been working for, for a couple of years and noticed that the 30 acres that joined him had sold and the new owner was mowing on the other man's land, so I told him that he was about 125' or so off the property line and he was actually mowing on my customers side, he was pretty friendly and told me the realtor said the old fence line was the property line, anyhow I had drove steel T-posts about every 100 yards apart on the property line and one at each corner of the property, so I showed him the corners and where the property line was and he was thankful and always stops me to shoot the bull for a few minutes and bring me a cold drink when he sees me over there working. Most people tell me to cut over on their side as far as I want.

reminds me of when I bought this land. Day of closing I was standing about where I drew the circle, I bought left and above the black lines. You can see where the neighbors were mowing to left of the line. The neighbor lady came down and gave us grief for standing on their property. (yea, welcome to the neighborhood...) Anyways, I politely pointed down towards the corner and said, there's the corner, I'm good here. Then I told the real estate agent, who had sold them their property just a month or so earlier, and he had the surveyor come back out and make the corners very obvious. We had no more trouble since then, they just didn't know where the corners were.

Any property that I have ever bought I have looked for the corner markers prior to purchase, and I never could figure why others wouldn't want to know, but I would say 75% of the people that I work for don't know where their corner markers are.

Just got my survey in today; and 2 eastern corners are easy to find. The western ones fall in the shared roadway-easement, and there are no surviving monuments in the dirt road. Luckily they did find 5/8 rods at the property side of the 33 ft easement.
