  1. I am not sure of your building steps. But I think if I understand right, you want to connect the log ends to the tractor with chains. My guess is the log would dig the plot up when cornering. If you made steel arms for connections to the tractor, it should work. The log should be heavy enough to bed the seed, problem is it might be a bit cumbersome to move around by hand. But if you use the tractor bucket to move it around then no issues. Good idea. 

    yes you have the  the idea. Perhaps a tow bar of heavy angle iron and attach the chain directly to the lag bolts. OR Possibly weld from angle iron a 3 sided square with support corners and attach directly to the lag  bolts.  

  2. Funny you should show this as I have been thinking of a way to tow behind my New Holland TC25D. It has a rear wheel footprint of 60 inches. I have a few nice 14 to 16 inch logs that I was gonna cut to 60 inches and find the center on both ends.They are relatively the diameter on each end.  Pre drill a hole... using a large lag bolt, install a ring, then a large washer (bigger then the ring) put the large lag bolt through them and ratchet into the log. Then hook a draw bar between the 3 pt hitch and add a chain or cable to the ring on the lag bolt. Thoughts????

  3. Closed on the property on May 12th. Now the daunting task of packing up the old house, getting rid of some things, selling some things and then gathering up the dozen tree stands from the land I been hunting for the past 15 years. Probably will leave a stand or 2 at the old land just for a change too. There are trout, bass, grass carp and going to introduce catfish soon to the ponds. Can't wait to till up a few spots for some plots and get some cameras out. Always see deer just after dark in the area.

  4. I have the same ones. They are great. Just suggest good nails. I think I did galvanized. Sent from my VS980 4G using Tapatalk

    Aluminum was suggested to me at 2 inch 1 3/4 and left about 1/2 inch out. 

  5. @Doc - I decided against the phone number as well.If they want to hunt or ask permission I want them to come to my door so I can meet them anyway.  Thanks for the direction on the signs.

  6. No farmer here... but you are in for a hell of a lot of time and money to clear the land. Yes you can make some money logging the land but what you are really asking for is to strip the land to be able to plant crops. That being said you would have stripped the topsoil and left the land useless I believe. I think you are wasting your time. 

  7. The property is a bowl shape with the pond the low point with a creek that runs north-south and very close and just east of the pond. It crosses the power line just inside the property boundary on the north and exits just below the smaller spill over pond. The house is never visible from the road either.

     

     

  8. Stand 1. If for gun stay north away from the cliff about 75 yards. For bow set your stand so you are facing into the prevailing winds and about 40 - 50 yards from the cliff edge. Natural funnel. Perhaps have 2 stands, one on the west edge of the cliff and the other near the east side near you entrance. Put in your time and bingo!!!! The other sites are good looking to but to me a cliff will always funnel them past you at some point.  I also like to hedge rows where they meet the north side of the woods.

  9. I'm considering sending this letter to my area newspaper to the editor. This is the first draft but would like thoughts.

    With the new gun laws in NY state I'm sure everyone is feeling much safer now. Sorry for the sarcasm. Not too long ago I read where several hundred people showed up to support the dog who was left to starve to death yet the next week only a handful of people show up to support a meeting to help make our streets safer. I'm all for dogs treated humanely, heck I love animals and have had both dogs and cats my whole life. 

     

    What every fails to really see about safety on our streets and the streets of America, is where does the gun violence come from. One word - "Hollywood". 

     

    Senseless gun violence was not the normal 50 years ago. We had good wholesome movies and TV programs with often times a moral story. Not today! Just watch the previews for the movies coming out every week or the TV programs.  I bet the vast majority of movies today are movies with gun violence. 

     

    It's either senseless sitcoms with laugh tracks or shows with a lot of killing. Hollywood is the  movie industry and television, the real root of the violence. We as a society have become desensitized to killing. Until we as decent human beings decide to not support this violence no amount of gun law changes will do a thing. 

     

    More gun laws will do nothing to curb the gun violence. Remember, take the guns away from the good people and only the criminals will have guns. Stop supporting Hollywood.
