Removing a bush

[Freds]

lol, easy out, easy in.

Small project for a backhoe, but everytime I use it I get better at it. And looking at that area tonight, I think I'm going to go with grass seed. That bush was in a dumb spot.

New post "how to plant grass seed"

Let's see... which would be best for planting grass seed backhoe or FEL?

 

[Redbug]

Ahhh...grass seed. Is it a mostly sunny location Freds? I would go with the zoysia. Kentucky Bluegrass...nah. Centipede...full sun in the south and slow growing. Pennsylvania, I see. They don't have grass up there do they?

Don't do anything yet. We will advise you on grass and how to plant...

I figured I'd use the FEL with the toothbar on it. That way I'll be able to rake it in with the toothbar and cover a larger area. I might carry the bag of seed in the BH's bucket....

New implement time. You need 3pt sprayer so you can water it.

ah, hand seeding, just walk around tossing handfulls into the front of your backpack blower lol.

Even better. Bore a hole in the bottom of the blower wand, and insert pipe with a 45 degree end into the hole about halfway in the tube, with the 45 degree facing forward. Causes a vacuum, Then put the other end in a bucket of grass seed, and blow. It spreads it out real good.

Hmmm, no backpack blower....
I'm sure I could come up with something that would work with my snowblower though!

How about pouring some diesel fuel on it and torching it.

Thanks! That's exactly how I intend to get rid of the brush pile it's been sitting on for a couple weeks.

I didn't give this much thought, just yanked it out.

Freds,

I am sure glad you gave that hoe a good workout.

JJ, did you say what you mean or just mean what you said?

This thread gave me and interesting idea.. Virtual Projects!
The person would give pictures of the problem. Take suggestions for a week, then go outside and try the suggestion. When/if there is a snag (no plan survives contact with the enemy), the person comes back, takes suggestions for a week and then tries the new idea. The idea is don't do anything on your own and stop when a new idea/plan is warranted. You could make a project take 2 months and we could all be playing "Virtual Project" till it's done. Sounds like fun!

Nice looking air under that tire..

CrownHawg, Looks like that Deere needs a Kioti on it's butt!!

 

[Freds]

Crownhawg, you aren't "just" doing anything when you've got a wheel in the air

OK, it's a little light in the arse. I'm working on getting some weight back there. It looks alot more "dangerous" than it really was. I actually pulled out 5 of those pesky boxwoods. This particular one had some extra big roots. With the ehydro, I can ease into (or out of) this dog peeing stance. So far, I have found this little tractor has alot more power than weight. Everyone tells me to "fill" the tires, but I would really like to be able to go light when I want, then just load up with weight when needed. Still looking.

Are you lifting from one side of the bucket causing the wheels off the ground? If you have two hooks, the best way is to put a chain in both hooks and lift from the back center of the bucket, or a hook in the center doing the lifting from the back of bucket.
