HI new here and need advice!
HI new here and need advice!
The Job. Clear brush and thin a few trees in 80 acres of woods. Larger trees would be cut first if needed. I'm only trying to make the woods healthy, not clearing land. Not looking for timber, trees are not big enough, it will be cut and sold for fire wood.
I'm a disabled vet, living on a farm in west Mn. not too far from Fargo. I have also started raising beef for my own meat and helping out my family. So a crawler loader would be best as I can feed round bales with it too (I have a 90HP tractor, Allis Chalmers 190XT, with a blower for snow and field work,). The tractor with cab is too tall to work in the woods. If I got a dozer once the woods was cleaned up I would have a lawn ornament!
I've wanted a dozer from the time I was a little kid (big old kid now). The 1st dozer that I ran was an MC so there is some attachment there. I have been looking at some but most I find are more than I want to pay or just too far away.
Would love to have and older JD or Cat (JD would be better due to the smaller size). I been told some bad stuff about the older AC stuff.
So any advice, leads on something that will work for me or just plain out good ideas accepted with thanks.
Thanks, Rick

I think it is couple of things, one being what we are accustomed to as for weather.
I grew up in SC, have traveled and "stayed" in many places. There are places that have different things to offer than the Carolinas, but I will not be moving to any of them. Fun to visit and come back to the good old south, eh?
Something else off topic but bugs me is the folks that try to tie the end of the world and weather events together. Weather events have been happening since before we had news that traveled past a couple of miles. The only thing that has changed is that now we can know the weather anywhere in the world in real time. We have this local guy that tries to collect "fear money" everytime the weather does anything out of the "norm". More surprising are the suckers that give their money away to him.
