HD11EP BRUSH RAKE

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

EP DAY...So we did some site prep with the HD11EP . This tractor has 
been sitting on the back of the ranch property all winter. With over 
60'' of rain this past winter ....we couldn't do to much.  So the goal 
here is either cow pasture or timber stand improvement on some of the 
young timber that did not burn in the wildfire.

	Besides having fun on a dozer, are you trying get more grass for grazing? At first I thought you had a lot of Toyon brush as a lot of what you're clearing. But with closer picture father on, I see it is not. But the root balls stopping the dozer is very much the same as removing Toyon. With the Toyon if you don't get the root ball you really have not accomplished much.

	Ray....We've spent over 50 years trying to be selective and manage our hardwoods for the benefit of wild life and livestock. We also had some timber that we were taking care of. After the 2017 fire.....and how fast it went away....I developed a new attitude...."I'M OVER IT"...the tree thing. We were going to replant Doug Fir where we logged...had 2 years of drought....that kept being postponed. I decided it would make pretty good grass land. I'm sure you know that cattle prices are also better than they've ever been in 50 years. So the attitude now is if it is good dozer ground...the brush rake tractors are coming. The trees that are left have to be 100% healthy...if there's damage from the fire they go to the pile. I knew a trained eye would see me bumping up against those root balls. Those are Madrone stumps...some of them very large. So I was breaking of the suckers to pile....wasn't going to fight with the stumps at this time....the other brush was heavy to Manzanita...coyote brush poison oak..Madrone . Hoping to have our 21C in service later this spring. If and when ''all the stumps come out''
