New guy work pics

[Browning.270]

Hey guys i been checking all these work pic threads out for a long time and finally got around to joining. I just turned 28 and have been working for a small outfit for the last 5 years or so. We do mostly farm type work, building site prep, demos etc, but try to take on any job we feel we are capable of. We also do a ton of snow plowing in the winter. Il try to post some pics i have on my phone of some of the projects ive done, but i havent been real good about taking pics of our work. I realy look up to all you guys on here and have learned a ton!! Im always trying to get better at every aspect of our line of work so feel free to post any comments or suggestions you may have, im all for constructive criticisism

Right now it aint real fit for any jobs we got going so im starting on my shop work. Im giving our 700 its annual service and clean up..ive got most of the not fun stuff done just have to paint the track frame covers and finish waxing the whole machine. I try to keep all our equipment in as good a shape as i can. The heated portion of our shop is pretty tight and hard to keep neat when im working on stuff, but i aint gonna complain about having heat to work in during the winter!

Here we were putting a driveway in to get to the back of this property, and shaping everything up so it was mowable. I didnt take any pics but there was a big hump on the one side that i used to fill it in

Cool. It's different working in the river valley. We have some rough terrain compared to the rest of the state. I'm down in the Illinois river valley and it is similar.

I put in a new field entrance on this project so the farmer could get bigger equipment in. It was a thick wooded creek bottom, but i didnt get any good pics before i took all the trees out. The first pic is when i dug out for the tube to be layed in. Last pic is looking from the other side when i was finishing up. Its not perfectly straight due to the way the creek winded thru the bottom, but i tried getting the top to go across the tube as straight as i could to get it as wide as possible. I also put big rip rap on both sides of the tube. You can see in the last pic, over to the left is where i stole the majority of my dirt for fill
