Working out the CK35

[Jaybr]

I've had the tractor a month (33 hours) now and mostly caught up on the chores around here. The wifes wants some chickens, so I started clearing some woods on the edge of the yard to put in a chicken coop today.

I know how you guys like pictures.

These are of the biggest stump I dug today, and oak.

And the hole it left

A pine and a poplar heading for the stump pile

My son had to join in the fun

We luuuuv pics!

Nice property and your Kioti is doing lots of work (Unlike my "coyote" lol.) Your attachments say that you're ready for tough seasonal work too. I'm curious...your son is in his young and strong years, so why afford a new tractor? Just have him dig the stumps and plow/grade the flats for the cost of feed.

JK (remember how our Dads worked us long ago?)

Nice Pictures!

I sure wouldn't mind having a few of those attachments for my Kioti.

I remember all too well, never had a tractor when I was growing up. Worst mistake I ever made was buying dad a chainsaw for his birthday when I was 16 and worked at Lowes. Not sure he ever used it until my brother and I left home

My son is 18 and graduating high school next week, not sure how long he'll be around to help.

Congrats on your son's graduation! A whole new world opening up for him, that'd be a nice feeling again (maybe). Mine flew the coop years ago, living on the other side of the country now. It's an adjustment

you guys are so lucky with your rock free soil, well almost anyway. Here in southern Maine there is just enough dirt to keep the rocks from rattling. Here is a pic of a stump I am working on and the digging is tough, lots of rocks

Bummer! No wonder the only farming is Dairy and Chickens, they didn't have to plow the land. Or broke everything trying too. I feel for ya', lived in Maine a few years, criminy the ground grew rocks.

But the scenery...ahhhhh...we lived in Winter Harbor and Hancock, just beautiful. In-laws lived up in Aroostook (sp) county and rarely came out from under the snow lol.

Your right there Rex, digging around here is tuff on stuff. The scenery is beautiful, and with all of my family around here, moving is out of the question. Been all over the joint though, and WA is certainly beautiful as well. Aroostook county is where I spend my winters, shoot for 3-5k on the sled every winter and aint missed one yet!

Tell me about it, I think I need to start a rock garden with all of these boulders I keep pulling out. I am over near Wolfeboro, NH you can see a few of the boulders in the picture, under that little bit of soil is more rocks.

Y'all from all the granite states...We could use that here on Whidbey Island, WA. The home and road building is still in full boom and the pits are charging an arm and a shoulder-joint for rock... 5/8" crushed is $18 a ton plus $78 haul fee is the cheapest around. Another reason to get this FEL, I been hauling rock in the flatbed for years since the prices doubled and my shovels were getting sore.

Plus age and beer ain't helping lol.
