JJ,
Now I know you're a LCO vet., I'll have to pick your brain more. ;)
I agree on the pics for C.M.A. factor.

I wish I had got before shots, its not that steep now prob. 30 to 45 deg. Before the bottom was a straight drop off, where the leveled it burying the reservoir.

We also put the straw blower on a pallet, and carry it around on the PT.. with the hose off, and turned down works good, A lot easier than fighting that hose.

I wished I would have gone into the mulch business, but I rode Dixie Choppers around, they are some fast cutters. . Those mulch trucks with remote control can put out a lot of mulch in a hurry and make big bucks. I put out a lot of pine straw by hand , and had thought of pushing straw in my Bearcat shredder and spraying it with a tube. I had to give up landscaping and cutting grass when I turned 63 due to arthritis in my feet and knees. It's **** to get old. You hurt, moan, groan, and your joints snap and pop for the rest of your life

In that last picture, is one of your tires turned backwards. I had to look twice because of the shadows. That tire was probably set up for the left side.

JJ,
Yes, the tire shop mounted it backwards, but it needs a tube anyway, big gash on the side, they patched it but its a temp. fix.

Most of this job was level, a friend of mine owns an electrical/Mechanical business, they tore the place up installing a big waste water system.

We do everything from residential mowing to commercial bushhogging. Probably 90% commercial 10% residential.

I run Exmark, and John Deere mowers....I like the JDs much better, they have an open deck, like the DCs, I don't like the exmarks, they clump the grass if its even damp outside.

This year I'm getting into irrigation, I've won one bid, a 1.5 acre ball field. A friend of mine is on a campaign to improve all the local athletic fields..hes trying to switch them over to bermuda (which has to be irrigated, tall fescue is the only thing thats prospers here)


My biggest problem is finding decent help!! I'm 39 now and can't take the abuse like I used to . :(
