Right now the driveway is more of a Jeep trail. I've got to widen it and do some grading for smoothness and water run off before getting stone. Planning on putting a layer of 4 minus down then some 3/4" crusher run on top of that. With any sort of luck, I'll get EJ the 8N running this week and start in on the grading. We will see if the weather will allow that. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SylvanLakeWH 25,598 #7427 Posted Wednesday at 01:35 PM Tried out my new HF 10 ton log splitter... Very pleased... Supposed to only handle around 8" logs... well, like fishing, deer racks, etc... 8" is a bit small for this thing... Good quality, great design, handles store inside it, steel wheels... all good. I have only occasional need for it. Campfire use only. Wouldn't want to use it if i were running a heating system... 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Looks like that little splitter works pretty well. I'd be curious to see what size diameter piece of hardwood it would do. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

8ntruck 7,016 #7432 Posted Wednesday at 11:42 PM . I got EJ the 8N running yesterday and delivered to our 20 acre wood. The sun was setting when I unloaded the tractor yesterday. Today, we had a bunch of errands to run and didn't get out to the property until about 3pm. I got the grader blade off from on top of the brush hog and moved to a parking spot at the end of the drive. Had some rain last night, so there was no way I was going to take the truck into the woods. The plan was to transfer some boxes contain a camp kitchen back into the woods on top of the brush hog. Ran out of daylight, discovered that one of the hitch pins for the 3 point was missing and that the front tires need air - a light rain started, too. We will see what the weather does to orrow. We are planning to have our family Thanksgiving dinner in the woods on Saturday this year - hence the camp kitchen. 1 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kpinnc 12,083 #7435 Posted yesterday at 05:19 AM I made up and hung new barn doors after rebuilding and reinforcing the track. The old setup was literally falling apart. …I believe my behind is still out there somewhere. I’m BEAT! 3 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
adsm08 2,068 #7436 Posted 22 hours ago I'm supposed to be rabbit hunting right now, but the house just tried to burn itself down, and everyone (including me) bailed because it's raining. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
