    Skeleton bucket is taking shape (pics)

    I'm rather fond of that root rake as well. It was made by the same two companies as the skeleton bucket in this thread. I don't know if that makes it custom or not. :D I have a great many photos of it actually. HEHE. Video too. The rake is 60" wide, the teeth are on 10" centers...

    Skeleton bucket is taking shape (pics)

    Yes it is. Our farm is 5km north of the St Lawrence river. Right above NY State. That is where the Glacier stopped and dropped all the crap from the North Pole. HAHA. We have about 1-2ft of good black top soil. Then anywhere from 15 to 80ft of hardpan. Then rock. It is quite...

    Skeleton bucket is taking shape (pics)

    HAHA, no there really isn't much of a rush. Would need to put our 400hp Steiger on the little dump trailer to get rocks out of the field with how muddy it is. LOL. Plus we're just getting into corn harvest now. Will be pretty busy until about Christmas. :) But yes, stones is...

    Skeleton bucket is taking shape (pics)

    We have only one dump truck right now. A couple dump trailers we have retired from grain to rock duty but they just aren't made for it. Going to have a dump truck cut up and made into a tri-axle for behind a tractor like the one in the pick. Likely we'll do the same to our old Dump truck...

    Skeleton bucket is taking shape (pics)

    This is fort sifting stones out of fencerows and leaving the top soil behind. Our area is fairly stony and for the last many decades all the field stones have been dumped in the fencelines. Now if you want to take the fencelines out to make fields bigger you have to re-pick them. Without...

    Skeleton bucket is taking shape (pics)

    Oh hi there, It is almost done!!! Sweet. It is 60" wide, has 6 rock teeth and heaped holds 1.5 yards. Not a whole lot of water though. The hangers and pins will be put on next week some time. The components were shaped and cut by D/S Manufacturing and the welding was done by HW...

    Ripper or rake?

    I do the same thing, buy a pin on rake. Just like a grain cart makes a combine much more efficient, so does the dozer to an excavator. Just lay the trees down with the hoe and push them to a central burn area. We have a CX210 and a Cat D5M XL. Some good pics on our website...

    Land clearing...

    Ok Roddyo. Smaller then without touching anything. Every farmer has a loader tractor. Buy a stone bucket for it. 1500 dollars. 190$/ac plus 1 man labour (15$/hr). I can easily completely pick 3 acres of sticks/stones with a stone bucket in a 8 hour day. So 40$/ac labour. Plus...

    Land clearing...

    True. However, short of the dozer and the land plane, pretty well every farmer has all the equipment I mentioned. Why hand pick if you don't have too? Actually, I can clear my own land for about 5-600$/ac. That is ready to plant, not ready to pick sticks. Warren

    Land Clearing pictures

    Wow, someone that actually knows how to properly clear land with a dozer. It never got dry enough to use a big dozer and rake this year here. Around here you don't see many dozers anymore. Farmers got fed up with the mess they left. I personally think the most efficient setup is both a...

    Stumping in the Northeast

    If you are serious and want to do a couple 100 acres a year. A 330 with hyd thumb and quick attach is needed. Will need as big of root rake for it as you can handle. Need a Stump harvester bucket like in the video above. A skeleton bucket. Digging bucket. Ditching bucket. A D6 or...

    Land clearing...

    From one farmer to another. If you want it done fast and right, here is what you need. A dozer and root rake would be ideal for the primary sweeping and grading. How level is the area to clear? Alternatively a small tracked skid steer with root rake would work as well but would be much...

    Half done planting corn, (pics)

    Hi there, Well it rained almost 2 inches (lots of hail too!!!) over the weekend so we won't be moving for a day or two but spite all that we are half done planting corn in South Eastern Ontario. Questions and comments welcome. If you haven't already, please bookmark our site and check...

    www.cedarlodgefarms.com v2.0 launch, now DIALUP FRIENDLY!!!

    Depending on how the tractor is ordered from the factory it can be truly bi-directional. If you want, you can have a pto, 3pt and hydraulics on both ends. Ours only has pto and 3pt on the cab end and just 2 remotes on the engine end. It isn't very often that something is hitched to the...

    Rowcrop spray rig/hauler

    What do you think of the new Spray Coupe sprayers? Had any problems with them? Is that a 2wd machine? That wouldn't work up here. HEHE. We are thinking about upgrading sprayers in a year or two. I have my heart set on a Miller Nitro 4240 with 100ft boom and 1200gal tank. Would like to...
