Thanks GP.
I'd post a few more pics, but the uploader STILL isn't working.

It is a pain doing them one picture at a time. I did a couple from Photobucket and Face Book, but the big pictures are tough on folks looking on their phones, so I'm just posting less pictures until they get it straightened out. I know that it's taking a little longer for you, as many pictures as you post.

Here's the last of the drainage grading photos...and the last photos I'll post until the regular uploader is fixed.

Nice! That space between the house and the fence is tricky. It looks like quite a bit of grade difference to deal with over a narrow area. I think you backed it off as much as possible while keeping the area mowable and not prone to erosion.
That Case is a nice tool, thanks for showing what can be done with it.

Tons of new pics in my phone, but...it's refusing to send them to an email address. Hopefully I can get into the cell place this week and get it fixed.

John- Just saw the photos you posted on HEF. That is quite the cutter, how wide is it? The rock work looks great as usual. Its sounds like you have a project recovering and fixing your Case.

The cutter is 72" wide and a rental from my Kubota guys. It's a Bradco and only has two blades, but the rotation is reversible. It cut okay, but not great. It was very handy having the side discharge for cutting the tall reeds though. Actually, with that much material to cut it was better to go through it at a fast clip, cutting 1/3 of the deck width with the cutter three feet off the ground to keep blade speed up. Then reverse cut at two feet, another forward cut at one foot and reverse again close to the ground. The ground below was pumping water or muddy and the mosquitoes were thick on the side windows. Tough stuff!

The multiple photo uploader still isn't working, but I'm bored so I figured I'd upload a few.
I don't usually work in town, but when I do...I make sure it's tight!

Here's a few from a driveway job a few weeks ago. Created a drainage swale and filled in a few low spots in the lawn while I was at it. Before I started I had to deal with a dead battery. I guess the jump from 85 degrees down to 32 overnight was just too much for it.
I've had my fair share of work related problems lately, that's for sure. On my way to a job hauling my CASE a couple days after the dead battery, I had a blowout on a new trailer tire. The next day I had to have my Dodge flatbed towed into the shop with a bad lift pump. Now the CASE is sitting a mile from firm ground in a wet field with no hydraulics. :thumbsup:
