Well, it had been a great weekend until a few hours ago. Long story short, I spent the last two days dismantling a motocross track I have had out in my field for over 30 years.
I was ripping up the berms and jumps with my backhoe and then using the loader to move the dirt to my fencerows. Trying to recoup about six acres of crop land. Anyhow, I backed up to one of the larger jumps to start tearing it down and noticed a large groundhog burrow spilling over the side. Thought I would have some fun so I lined up with the burrow and took about a two foot deep swipe through it with the hoe.
Did you know skunk burrows look just like groundhog burrows? Yep, out she came locked and loaded. Got me and the tractor pretty good. Wife was not happy as I approached the house.
Burned my clothes and took a shower with a homebrew lye solution...this took care of me but does anyone know what I can use to deskunk my tractor without damaging it?
I have tried solves-it, purple power and simple green. None worked.
You will move to the top of my hero list if you have a solution.
