I’ve been raking the forest. Seems to me that someone advised us to do that, so I’m getting it done. This isn’t a wide brush rake like they put on dozers, but it’s working.

Had to move a rock. A landscaper friend estimated it at 8-10 tons.

The forks got stuck in the end of the log, and wouldn’t let go. I thought the forks were under the log, I lifted it to get the choker cable around.

I had to cut some off, too heavy, plus a lot of ground resistance.

Digging out a stump. I think it’s ready to pull out now, it still wouldn’t budge after digging only two sides. It moves now.

Unexpected bonus, this stump is fat wood.

Got the original starter rebuilt, it spins noticeably faster. I don’t hear cranking, it’s just running all of a sudden. I’m hoping this’ll help with cold starts.

I haven’t had to run coolant from another vehicle through to warm the engine before it’d start, since getting the starter rebuilt. Seems it was just cranking too slow.
