Tractor Work

Last week I responded to a post on craigslist for tractor work. Today Steve Rhule and son Nick showed up at our place with their Kubota L3940 HST tractor and worked for 10 hours. The tractor has a front-end loader with bucket and solid adjustable pallet forks, as well as a 6 foot Rhino bush-hog and a 6 foot tiller.

Most of the day was spent using the front-end loader with forks to pick up and move logs and wood that was piled up behind the house. This wood was left there by the folks we bought the place from, we just never had a way to move it and it was too close to the house to burn so we hired out the job.

Pallet forks are quite versatile, you can dig with them, pick up rocks, logs, etc.

We also had some trenching holes remaining near the well house where the folks we bought from had planned to build a barn. Steve took care of that as well.

Finally, Steve bush hogged the Peanut Paradise pasture and a couple of acres of field out near the well house. Peanut and Spirit seem to really enjoy the freshly cut pasture, they are trotting and running through the pasture, rolling in the cut grass, just looking like a couple of happy horses.
