This afternoon I decided to attack the brush and thorns around the Guard Light pole again. I got an idea that I might be able to use my Kubota and its front-end grapple to dig below ground and pull up brush by its roots. It sorta worked. I did manage to get a few large grape vines and some thorn and tree plants up. I then used my lopping shears and pulled and pulled. I worked for about 2 ½ hours. In the end I had a pile about ¼ the size of the one taken away by the city truck on Monday. The area is looking better and better. Tomorrow I may be able to get a few cedar trees cut down and hauled away.
I tried to rent equipment to cut cedar trees. The rental place said he had nothing I could use. He suggested renting a bulldozer to push the trees over. I have eight acres of trees in town and would need to do something fairly quickly with the uprooted trees or I would have a big fire hazard drying out on the ground. I will try a couple other ways to get cedar cut down. Mean time I am going to use my chain saws. I finally got smart and put all the tools I think I will need into the back of my Polaris Ranger so I can drive to where I am cutting and not have to walk far to get what I need. I have a generator, two chain saws, a rake of sorts, extension cords, chain, fuel and oil, lopping shears, brush cutter head for one of the engines, wrench and screwdriver. I m going to add drinking water to the load. 😁
