while you're out 'schroom hunting....ever see any ramps in Indiana? (Other than the ones used to load a truck?)
That will be an activity going on here in about a month...I go to W.V. and W. Md for those.

1.)The 100 cord countdown by end of year, that's my goal, have 100 cord hauled home, cut, split, stacked for drying and ready for sale 09/10 wood burning season.
Last year, my goal was 20 cord split/stacked/dry in time for wood burning, and I hit about 50 cord.
2.)Plan a new chimney, replace the old block one with a new block one.
3.)Split wood like there will be no tomorrow
4.)stack the wood
5.) Forks for the tractor so I can fetch logs more efficiently.

Imagine the rush going from a B-80 to a D-180. They like to knock out stumps if there's enough traction. I'm not sure what I could buy thats similar to what this is. 1,100 lbs w/out the mowing deck is a lot of lawn tractor.

And to add to the list: Clear an area to park all this equipment.

:dizzy:
would love to find a good D with a FEL, would HELP a bunch around here till i get the BIG tractor. :D

1st i'm going mushroom huntin,whatever the other 4 are they can wait.




I'm sure those Michigan boys could find more than these on their way to the mailbox. This my best batch, from a few years back. Found them all in tall grass not far from where I parked. I was skunked after trudging through the woods for several hours.

Here's my list

(1) Cut no more wood for awhile unless a tree trimmer asks me to help.
(2) Split 13 cords of rounds that I cut last year, now stacked.
(3) Haul this split wood to last year's pile location that is almost empty.
(4) Stack the split wood to let it dry further for the fall.
(5) Wait until the storms blow down some more. Fell only if necessary.

If it was the 3 hole job, a couple of pain pills and you're good to go. If it was a partial or total knee replacement..........................................

:confused:

I will find out in a few hours. Just killing time time the cuttin. I usually like the sound of that, not in this case though

We bought this Toro 25 HP 52" deck ZTR last year, replaced our Dixon ZTR. Although they are expensive I save a ton of my time to do other things. When I got the Dixon going from a typical riding moxer, I cut my time in half. Got a little more gain when we got the Toro, larger deck and it moves faster.
nice, i like red, but i like black and silver better :D

finally got one and she was deliverd this week.
a tad bit of over kill for the place but it will be the last mower i will ever purchase..

but now i heard we are getting snow tommorrow, now how can the grass mow like that :censored:


oh now i have to add to my list.

clean out garden shed to fit the wife's tractor in there so i can get it out of the garage so the new ZTR will fit...:D
