Bury it so deep, God can't find, that's how I've always done it.

That Takeuchi always looks sexy in the mud.

Are you guys keeping busy
? and what do you charge those machines out per hour if you dont mind me asking

We slowed a little last month, but as of today we have enough worked lined up to stay busy until summer. Excavator $135 hr, skid steer $90.00 hr

 

[Dirtman2007]

My new project... 16 acres of figgin stumps
All will need to be removed eventually, but due to cost only half will be done now.

My skid steer operator and I were worn out after 10 hrs of bouncing around on stumps. I had to atleast dig up 200 today ( all 8-12" in diameter) another 5000 to go:Banghead But it's work

Should start some nice fires on monday, hopefully I want smoke the town out, a whooping 200 people. Man were in the sticks... only one place to eat.

End of day 1, Start back in the morning. This 120 mile round trip makes for some long days.

 

[bobcat ron]

120 miles round trip, set up camp, you got tons of fire wood for some good old fashioned camp fire ghost stories and songs!

Why do the stumps have to be removed? If you are out in the sticks I am surprised the people have money to be spending it having stumps removed. It looks nice and private out their where you are at though.

Does the skid steer just move them around once they are dug up? The excavator has got to be the one to dig them out.

 

[Dirtman2007]

All the stumps must be removed so that the land can become more cow pasture. Yes the skid steer is used to move all the stumps and brush to the burn site once I dig them up with the hoe.

Day2

Cleared about a mile of fence line. Piled more stumps and brush up, gonna have ourselfs a little camp fire on monday:drinkup


the cows love to lick the tracks for some reason... Grease must taste good

[BIGBEN2004]

Do you have to get a burning permit to have all those burnings? I know around where I live a burn permit is almost not possible to get.
