I built an attachment that has two hooks for a chain (to pick up stuff that forks or bucket isn’t best) and a receiver hitch to move trailers around. I can’t believe how much I use it. Bought the receiver plate on Amazon. Good price and 1/2” steel. And … I just bought a hydraulic screening...

I gotta do that. My neighbor was doing that the other day. He said he had to book a year out to get a spot!

For sure that would be a beat down. Even with the suspension these new CATs have, it’s not pleasant driving across a field. Maybe I can trade skid steer work for tractor work from a neighbor. I don’t have many acres I need to plow anymore.

Got some good pics of Aoudad this year. Usually, I just download the videos, but here are a couple I really like.

Yes! Thats the one I used on the elevated blind. Good quality stuff.

Thank you! Makes a wicked little offroad camper too. It’s a wide wheelbase, same as the HWMVVS. Takes the 37” HWMVV tires or any 8 on 6.5 bolt pattern wheels. You can easily strap it down to an 8’ utility trailer as well. Or on the front of a 16-20’ trailer with quads on the back.

Not a cheap build, but can easily double as a camper, and you can use the trailer for other things. Or, you don’t have to use a trailer at all. I bought an S-250 military shelter off a gov auction ($1000+/-). Then I bought a M1101 military trailer (can find them for $1800-$2750, but they are...

There is a company in Texas who makes deer blind doors and windows. Reasonable cost. I like their doors a lot. Full piano hinge, RV style door handle, seals out wasps and bugs very well. Can’t remember the company though. Also, I have ordered RV windows off eBay for another build (I’ll post...

Looks like it’s an AGT brand. 3 pt on one side and skid steer on the other, but I see now it’s just a seeder, not really a no till. Probably more for seeding grass than a crop.

I think that’s the case with lots of guys! I just do not need a tractor that big. The largest plot I have is 11 acres. All I do is lift stuff with it. I got a CAT 259D3 recently that has pretty much replaced every job my tractor did, except plowing. I saw a skid steer drill online that...

2011: 173” 3x3 Mulie 2016: 180” Whitetail Where do I go from there? A good problem to have. I did kill two Roe Deer in Czech Republic in 2022. That’s a fun hunt.

I think that is a reasonable cost for a drill. If that was around my ranch, I’d be in for that deal. $200 + $15/ac isn’t too bad.

Maybe for 640+ acres that money works out, but not for 15 acres. If you hired out, you would have to do it as such: Base/transport/Setup fee: $XXX Cost per acre $XX Running Time: $XX/hr Total:$XXXX *With a minimum charge of $XXX My tractor is a 170 hp John Deere 7800. That thing is not an...

Yes sir. Just SW of Quanah. It’s funny, the land you see from the road is flat and featureless farmland. You would never imagine what lies just 10 miles to the south. We have one cliff that is 120’ tall, but most are 30-60’ deep canyons.

Surprised it stopped stinking after only two years! They have a very unique smell. I have actually smelled them before I saw them in the past. I can smell their beds sometimes too. But, I love those sheep. Hands down the best introduced game animal in Texas.

Yes!

Do people rent out these drills? I’d love to have one to use, but also to rent out to recoup some of the cost. I’d want a decent sized one (8’ or so) to be worthwhile. Is there a market for renting out a drill? If so, what size would get the most use? What would be a decent price to ask for...

Thank you. I love it out there. I’m in NW Texas. Down in the Pease River breaks. It’s beautiful country. I have 2 miles of river frontage with the 140,000 acre Triangle ranch as my neighbor across the river. I introduced Aoudad into this part of TX and they absolutely took to these canyons...

II used the brush cutter to clear out the brush on the sides of the roads on the ranch. Got about 3 miles done. Was pretty pleased with it! But, I couldn’t help but think it was a little sluggish. But, I had no frame of reference so I just kept destroying trees. Called the CAT dealer and he...

I’m using it a lot and haven’t even hooked up the cutter yet! The best machine for a farm and ranch, hands down. Almost any heavy work can be done by one of the dozens of attachments.
