 Topic: AC wins over Deere and Kubota...
Posted: 25 Sep 2012 at 9:48pm |

Bid a mowing and fence removal job for Ducks Unlimited and found out today I had the winning bid. Might lose my a$$, but at least I have my foot in the door for the next one. Should be a challenge cutting 7' tall reed canary grass with the 1971 175D and 8' Bushhog....good thing I love running the old AC's!

1600' of 3 strand with RR ties for posts....that will be a job for the JD 7775 skid loader, tho :-( Good news is the wire looks good, bad new, that is a lot of ties to pull and haul off. I think the biggest part of that job will be getting the grass off of the wire before I roll it up. It will help that they hayed the 80 or so acres around it, so I have lots of clear ground to drag it around on.

if those ties were pounded in you could be in for some real work

There are 3 ways to do job GOOD, FAST, CHEAP. YOU MAY CHOOSE 2. If its FAST & CHEAP it won't be GOOD, if it's GOOD & CHEAP it won't be FAST, and if its GOOD & FAST it won't be CHEAP!!!!

Well this is in a semi-dry lake (was just dry enough to cut hay a couple of weeks ago) so I am thinking the ground is pretty soft yet. The ties wiggled anyway....hopefully I won't even need a chain to grab them and pop them out with this setup.
