Property line trail/ track

[NS Gearhead]

Yes, it's pressure treated lumber, with galvanized spiral spikes and end cut on the cut ends

Vacation day #2 started off a little slow. I tired to burn some downed trees... but things are just too wet and they're pretty rotten. Decided just to chop them into pickupable pieces and make piles. Took the Mrs out to lunch, then got down to buisness again.

This is the connector trail. It had two muddy spots... so in the name of speeding up gravel delivery... and keeping my shiney new bike clean... here's what three loads of rock looks like; (there was water all where the rock is before I started)


This spot was muddy and leaned to the left pretty bad. It got the rock treatment first then two loads of gravel. Dry as a popcorn fart!


Started keeping track... dunno if you can see it...


Here we go




Of those I got two loads of gravel and four loads of rock today. Not as fast as I'd like, but considering the rocks are hand picked and laid... LOL

Hey, it's working!

Nice ATV, and really nice you got the little one too. :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

I thought you were getting a ranger instead of a sportsman??? Nice looking 4 wheeler!

 

[NS Gearhead]

Yeah, I really wanted a Ranger... but it was just going to be too much money. Getting the little one was my way of compromising... although she won't be able to follow me with it... it's strictly driveway and cul-de-sac for now. Once she's old enough the trail should be smooth enough for her to ride it on there.

So far I just have the bumpers and hand guards on... but I'm getting hand and thumb warmers, Kimpex Outback rear seat with passenger pegs, Glacier Pro 60" plow with side and top deflectors, shoes, and power angle, 3K Warn winch, Prospector Pro tracks, rear rack extentions, Koplin ratcheting grips, chainsaw mount... probably some stuff I forgot. LOL

The Mrs convinced me to wait for these tires to wear out before upgrading. Here's what's gonna replace them;

What did you not get? lol. It sounds like you have about every option!

 

[NS Gearhead]

LOL, the finance lady kept joking that it was the longest list she'd ever seen... the wife didn't see the humor in that. LOL!!! Still, with all that and the little bike, it was only just slightly more then a new Ranger 900XP with no options.

 

[NS Gearhead]

I've got a couple fun projects in mind for this too. Heh heh heh. No surprise to those who know me. LOL

Nice trail, bridge, and bikes. I know all about the wet in the woods and the roots/stumps. Oh, and the rocks, which should be NL best export. Keep her going.

 

[NS Gearhead]

Thanks Scotty! Yeah, I've pretty much just have peatmoss with roots over rocks. LOL No fun to dig in.

My goal is to avg one load/ day as long as the weather/ flies/ heat are favorable. The skid steer plan kind of fell through with an unexpected expense. Oh well, it'll be that much sweeter when I'm done!
