That looks awesome. How does it do on rocks 2-4 times that size? FWIW, my best fields don’t look as good as yours before your efforts!

20”x12”x4” are about as big as I have. It still moves them

That rock rake is just too nice. I'm almost disappointed now that I don't have any rocks so that I could borrow it to try it out. (I said almost) But I could use a nice D6 dozer to clear more fields...

Well I feel bad for you not having rocks. But we can use D6 anytime.

These trees are what I planted last year. They were bare root and just in tubes. Now I am caging and fencing them.

Well since I shut work down to keep my employees safe. Yesterday the guy taking logs from my place I was helping him and then found out he was with the only guy in our county that has tested positive this week. So now I’m quarantined for 14 days. Getting some fire wood gathered up. Waiting on drier weather for more rock picking. Have 860 gallons of diesel fuel. Lots of food. Only worried about having enough distilled spirts.

Be safe. My wife just got back from being tested. She arrived sobbing and her nose was gushing blood. Poor thing - the test sounds awful.

Sounds like we have the same luck. I’m lucky like a Kennedy. Hope you’re negative and all goes well. At least there’s always plenty to do around the homestead to keep busy!

Well, you've got just about everything else, you might as well start a distillery up there. I know a guy in your area with a truck shop who is very handy at fabricating stuff and has plenty of big tanks and copper tubing...

funny you say that, I am a investor in a local commercial distillery opening up here. But were about 20 months from opening yet.

My big feild is cleaning up nicely. The more I’m using the windrower and rock picker the more I like them and the better I am able to use them.

This is how not to haul tractor. Had to take in for service work. Wet road and not paying attention this is what happens. Glad I had the excavator handy to assist lifting it up out of colvert.
