this is an osage orange, makes some hot firewood

After looking at snow blowers and ruling out the Kubota 4x4 because of the angle of our road. We have decided to buy a 72" blade attachment for the Polaris Ranger 900xp. The people on the Ranger forum seem to have good luck and the return on investment makes it a good option. Time will tell...

I double fisted two leaf blowers to clean a single rut for about a 1/3 of a mile today. This is so I can get the jeep to and from the house. Otherwise, we have to park at the gate and walk. Also we have to use a wheelbarrow to get wood. The road is so treacherous that even wet, it's unsafe...

I posted one of these in another thread (it was before I saw this one). I have not been out as of yet. My girlfriends son is trying to bag his first deer. Hopefully he will take one this weekend.

My most recent photos;

I find that map interesting that the Texas / OK region being "Unusually Wet" and just north of that having "Normal Snowfall". This year has been unusually wet . So I'm expecting heavy snowfall. I'm closer each day to being ready. My jeep is always ready to pull the dimwits out of the...

I wonder if these are any of the scientists used by the UN and/or Al Gore? actually; I have two hives and my tractor does not seem to bother them at all. The detail of the study may be interesting. Like are they pumping exhaust into a hive? Also the ppm of exhaust in the air recorded. I...

YEAH! This baby gets golf balls at 600yds...

Hello neighbor, Like Gordon, I went the Add-a-Grapple route. My total cost was about $1400 (self installed). Here is a photo of mine, (moving some hedge logs and a bridge railroad tie)... It's one of the best investments ever.

The deck overlooks the river, which is muddy because it is up from the rain in the first photo. Then a aerial view of a portion of the terrain, which can be treacherous. Then my road that winds along the river on a snow day. Last is my new firewood locations, and the dogs of course.

Whitetail Institute has some good products but they are expensive "IMO". My local feed store does a mix that consists of large leaf clover, turnips, chicory, and rye grass. I pay about $3.65 a pound for it. It's been a good season for acorns, and I suspect the deer are taking advantage of...

She is always happy. But wants to drive...

Hopefully this is in the right area, as that I consider a chainsaw land clearing equipment. :rolleyes: I have three Stihl products 192T, Pole Pruner, & HS45 (two saws and a hedge trimmer). I also have a Husqvarna 455 Rancher. I would like to have a 16" medium saw to go with the others. But...

I didn't have 2k to spend so I went the Add-a-Grapple route. $950 for this. That's pinching a 11ft. 16" wide railroad tie.

All of my implements (except the grapple), I have bought used. Hopefully this was a good deal, it's a quick hitch. Paid $85, and hope it will be good for those heavy 3 point implements. Bought from an "old timer", who told me it's a back saver. What do you think?
