First of all Rick, that's a very generous offer of help with the tree. As it's not time critical, it's pretty far down on priority list. I have a small winch that I can mount to the front receiver of my truck and stretch a line the 75 yards or so from the driveway to the pond.
That little 4 wheeler is pretty spiffy looking and would be "the cat's meow" for slithering through over-grown forest, but it puts me back to using more muscle, sweat and swear words to move rocks, blocks, dirt and sand. Also, I'm wondering if you can mount a disc to the back like John does with the Polaris.
In the detached garage; my truck, 4 spare wheels and tires, a Wells Fargo chest safe, a freezer, push mower, rototiller, rainwater collection drum and numerous gardening odds and ends left behind are taking too much floor space to add a mower and 4-wheeler. If I did some condensing I could fit one or the other, but not both.
L Ross, I was toying with the idea of a Kubota BX series subcompact. A compact like you have would be too much machine to mow my somewhat well-treed yard.
Previous owner here had the diesel version of the Kubota BX 1800 that he bought new in 2000. I think, with a belly mower and loader. His daughter had sold the tractor and accessories before I was shown the property. I found the owner's manuals to all of it in the garage.
Managed to spend a couple of hours at the relaoding bench processing 30-06 brass. Have quite a few still with the original primer pocket crimps. Thinking it's time to break down and buy a brass prepping machine. Arthritis in my hands is slowing brass prep by quite a bit now.
