Cleaned up most of the junk wood [trimmings, cut offs, shorts, etc.] that was leftover from logging operations and left on the landing.
Hauled a few dozen grapple loads to other cutover areas, distributed some and made a large "habitat" pile with the rest.
Still have more to move to get the landing looking presentable before the snow flies

My sawmilling customer is building a cabin and decided on Cedar stairs and the risers/treads will be half logs.

I sawed about half of the order Saturday and.....
IMG_3271.JPG

Finished sawing today. The hand rails will be 2X4's & 2X6's with 2X2 spindles. The landings will be various widths of 1".

And when the sawing is finished the cleanup begins.

It really was not as bad as it looks here.

But I was still happy to git-r-done. That ole M4900 loves to work. (y)

Mounted my quick hitch after dropping my FEL for the winter. Will mount the snowblower this afternoon. Getting ready for “dusting to 3” event tomorrow

A wood chipper would certainly make that cedar salable / valuable to anyone wanting an air freshener or closet anti-moth sock.

Took the mm mower of the BX2380 for the winter. Put the FEL and Ballast Box on. Need to remove the metal edge and install the UHMW one for snow plowing.

Used my 27 year old L2350DT to push some cut sections of a Hackberry tree off into in ditch.

Its a compact tractor and only 25 hp. but I am always impressed at how well it will 'push' things

It won't lift much, will 'pull' OK but reaches a point where the tires just spin if I try to overwork it.

But it will 'push' like a glacier. I am continually surprised at what this small tractor will move.

In low range and 4wd it easily handles things I just wouldn't expect it to do.

In the pic below....not that big a deal. A section of trunk about 10' long and 32" in diameter.

Hackberry isn't as heavy as say Oak, but 'skidding' it along the ground creates pretty good resistance.

Little Orange Tractor handled it easily.

Looks like you took really good care of that tractor. How many hours are on it?

Got my 50.1 hour service done yesterday. I opted for a full hydro fluid change vs. just the filters. It took about an hour start to finish so not too bad. Most of the time was me cursing at the engine oil filter location jammed against hoses and wire looms.
Here’s a tip. Take the stainless belt guard off. That will allow you to move the lower coolant hose a little bit. I also use a nylon strap wrench ‘on a stick’ that fits on a half inch drive extension. That gives a lotta torque and grip on the filter.

Installed the armrests on my L3302. Literally a 5 minute job. Got them from Coleman Equipment for $71. Part #L2280

Had our first measurable snow here in central Wisconsin which gave me a excuse to fire up my B7100. Since I have the L2501 at my land the 7100 is pretty much relegated to snow fighting duties.

The video is akin to watching paint dry but here it is. :)

I learned a valuable lesson, one I knew, but must have been filed in the back of the brain.
Dont blow the leaves off your deck when your tractor is wet.

Won't be any bugs around there for a while. They'll have moth-proof stairs. I LOVE the smell of fresh cedar.

Just cut it up in blocks. No need to chip it. That's exactly what we had in our closets when I was a kid.

That's a big ol' hackberry. When they get that big, they're fairly smooth on the trunk bark. When they're about 8" in diameter, they're rough as a cob, and will seriously grind skin off if you slide down it. Don't ask me how I know.
