Well, this winter I started with popping rocks by hand out of the trails and hauling them. The trails / loads could be done wit the big red but I didn't see any point in flogging my machine, use one that is not expected to last 30 years. A arctic cat 425. I did this for maybe 50 trips

I then had a fence installed, no time to do it. I chose to put it in level and use the rocks to level with a stone wall, we have a lot on the property so I thought it would look good
Here is the wall installed. Walls are 32' long and tapered to flat near the rear but come up to about 30" at highest and are 20" wide=a lot of rock

Now digging to fill it, 150 trips with the front loader

Also started on the deck off the rifle range instead of shooting indoors, I am installing a deck off the rifle shed

Finally, a new cutter for the fields. I went this route instead of a Brushhog. A bit oversized for my tractor but the fields are not too long, I will just have to stay on top of it. The rear roller should leave nice stripes, I also got the hydraulic shift kit for the rear, the flail is offset and I can now shift it back and forth as needed
