Well I got it some what smooth and the roots picked upView attachment 462263
It got dark by the time done the last pass while threw out rye grass and rolled it in. Be another week before head back and set the meter pole,so power company can get to work.
Purchasing the grapple last year was one the best investment I have made it sure beats picking everything up by hand,even thou had to do some small stuff,I couldn't have imagine what be like without it

Kinda late for rye grass now, isn't it?

Weather permits still have little time. Had to order the Bermuda grass seed. Went and got the meter pole set today and maybe they will start within couple weeks. Once they get the power in I will start on the 1200ft of water line.

I'm jealous/envious. When any of y'all post pictures of your tractor work it looks awesome and professional. Everything I do looks like a Neanderthal did it by comparison.

The secret (works on all photo subjects) is take numerous photos of the same place from more than two different angles. I usually delete 60-70 percent of the photos I take. On Valentine's Day I took 72 photos of my Grand daughter and Daughter on the play ground. I ended up keeping 17 of those photos. Frame the shot with the intended object taking up the hole frame of the picture helps also. This makes the viewer focus on what you are taking the picture of and not background clutter.

I bet there isn't anyone worse with a box blade than me. I do ok on already fairly level ground but if it's bumpy terrain then nope. Think I make more divots.

Then try a land plane. I would like to have one.

Hope everyone's got their rain coat ready! Just got equipment put up, and tarped up what isn't under cover. Should be an interesting few days! Stay safe and get to high ground sooner than later if needed folks!
