Nice... instant orchard. How long before you can harvest?

Is that your skidsteer too?

Bob, we can harvest in about 4 yrs, the skid steer is a local hired out hole digger!

Recently doing a little more fence work.... earlier in the year I ran the fence you see going into the dark distance, and needed to run a patch down this bit to where my new gate will go.

First the result:

This woven fence will flex, but it's tough to get a small piece to go parallelogram like that, but being right next to a gate which will have the same pattern on it, aesthetics were worth it.

The tractor served here as a mobile anchor point:

Basically, each horizontal was pulled independently to get the fence to flex to shape.

This isn't a tractor shot, but it's tractor related. I was painting the gate (green in the background) with it temporarily hung on another gate's post, and used a subsoiler as an anchor to hold the gate in place so nothing would touch the wet paint

yes, that subsoiler got abused...

Cleanup after an evening's fence work

Here the tractor's being used to stretch another bit of fence.

The fence is a 5' no-climb horse fence with three barbless wires spaced 8" above it; there will also be a couple lines of hot wire on the "out" side of the fence above the horse fence to dissuade fence climbers like coyotes.

The gates I'm building (three out of six built already; one that's just recently been built goes across where the tractor is parked in the darker pic) match the fence - they're square tube framed with a 60" high horse panel across the gate with three wires above. The horse panel matches the look nicely and provides significant shear strength.

That was a ride! This is river bottom land , which means clay, it was too wet to use loader, it kept sliding, I was try to dig up bear grass . the back of tractor went both tires up in air, I got off tractor, and realized I just needed to lower bucket. I did and used bucket to help me drive out. What an experience, this 70 year old grandma went for s ride that day.

I've used my bucket to push myself out of a stuck spot several times. Mostly when I find a wet and soggy spot in the deep grass while mowing.

I'm curious what that attachment is on your loader?

Please be careful with overloading the front axle with no weight on the rear 3 pt hitch. Many users of all brands have broken front axles that way.

It's a thumb for the bucket
