Worked off this morning and got started. I cut the planter in three sections, very fortunate the chain drive was pinned where I wanted to cut too.
I'll definatly have to replace the brushes in the plate boxes, they left beans in it.
No telling what else when we get to looking it over, but it shouldn't be to bad since the plan is to make two planters out of this.
I'll have plenty of spare parts.

I like it. Plenty of spare parts for sure. Is that a Kinze?Worked off this morning and got started. I cut the planter in three sections, very fortunate the chain drive was pinned where I wanted to cut too.

Yes, it's John Deere green under the blue. I've searched all over for the model sticker with no luck in finding it.

Okie, you're always hard at work!
I'm anxious to get started on my habitat work which should be starting this weekend. Lots to do this year as I need to increase the edge, cover, and food on my place. After observing for the last two seasons and only doing some minor habitat work, I have a good idea of how the deer are using the property and where I want to make changes.
Aside from the two micro food plots (green) north of the creek, everything else will be new. The blue are going to be small clear cuts that I will seed some NWSG's with the expectation that they will be used as bedding, the green will be additional micro plots, and the white is possibly going to be an experiment. A narrow opening or "lane" of sorts (similar to a power line) to hopefully direct deer in front of the two northernmost stands, but it will be at the bottom of my to do list as I haven't decided if I want to follow through with it yet.
I'm also going to plant some Norway Spruce and Willows for screening along some of my access paths as well as a few fruit trees and ROD cuttings in various locations.

That's one of the early Kinze corn planters when they were buying John Deere max emerge units and installing them on a Kinze toolbar, then painting the whole thing blue. Until John Deere refused to sell units to Kinze, so they sued John Deere in the supreme court and won. In the meantime Kinze started making their own units, so John Deere lost out again. One of the few times that John Deere got beat badly in numerous ways several times in a row.

We have tons of hickory also. They take over like cedar. I've wondered if a skid steer with a forestry mulcher (grub), not brush hog, would be worth it. We have tons of downed trees from the 2010ish drought, i would like to have them cleaned out. Cost per hour is about the same as a dozer, just not sure how well it would work on larger trees.
Nice dozer.

I would go the dozer route because the skid steers with mulching heads can’t handle the large trees. We have 3 and they stay broken due to people trying to grind to big of trees. If you don’t like the looks of the debris, pile it up and burn it.

This year we are concentrating on encouraging the older bucks to stay here from Nov. 15 to the end of the season. They are here in good numbers until Nov. 15. After that some bucks seem to move away. We plan to add more late dropping apples and pears as well as more late season food plots that will draw the does which in turn will draw the bucks to the property after Nov. 15. Our cover is at maximum production but our food other than natural browse gets weak in the second half of November.
Other improvements include a dozen or so new ladder stands with shooting lanes cut in. As the property has thickened up considerably hunting from the ground is less effective than it used to be. Also we plan to increase visibility from our tower stands with shooting lanes cut into the surrounding woods.

Lot of clay in this ground...
Burned a few ditches yesterday. I wanted to get it done before bucks really start to shed so I can find them easier.

What types of trees were you killing mostly? I'm about ready to get started on sweetgums and chinaberry here in GA
