All the work is slowly paying off. The ranch is taking shape a little at a time, and the little signs from nature are good motivation to keep going. Thanks for watching the project as always.
Yes, I'm sure the duck needed a break. When the pond is done, I will have large flocks of ducks stopping by, I'm sure. Thanks for following along with the ranch build as always.
@alexwoods2836 That will be awesome to see. He is just one of the signs, something as being done right and good motivation to keep going. Thanks for watching the ranch build as always.
Great progress as always Simon. The Kubota is an awesome machine. We had a small Kubita tractor with a bucket on the ranch I worked parttime. Used it for everything!
I'm sure in the future it will be a beautiful sight here at the ranch. A little at a time, the magic is happening. Thanks for following along with the project as always.
It would be cool to see what the ranch looks like in ten years. I can see little changes in the right direction, but still a long way to go. Thanks for watching the project.
Good morning from Arizona. You have the perfect set of toys. Couple questions: 1. How far is the nearest gas station. 2. About how much would a trailer like yours run?
Good morning. Thanks for watching the project. The nearest gas station is about 30 miles away down gravel roads. I paid 8,500 hundred for the dump trailer back in 2018. I would say by now the price is close to 10,000 though.
This was filmed with my phone. It is a Samsung Galaxy s23 utra. I have had some ducks before stop by, but it's been a while. Thanks for following along with the ranch build as always.
Just out of curiosity, how hours have you put on this machine while working the project? lol Love watching the progress brother! Praise the Lord, everyday!
The machine has 1,384 hours on it now. This video was from last year in December. I have done work with the machine away from the ranch, too. I would say probably around 700 hours are from working at the ranch with it. Thanks for following along with the ranch build as always.
Well, I found over the past 10 years that if you keep the truck for five years and traded in, you only pay about $10,000 for a new truck. The replacement parts on the trailer are quite cheap and affordable on my budget. I would not be able to leave a dump truck at the ranch. When I'm gone, the wildlife and just it sitting there would degrade it to the point it would be unusable by the time I get back. Thanks for following along as always. For now, I will have to keep going the way I have been. Everything will change when I can be at the ranch full-time.
you need some wind break trees and a vitex tree the vitex grows rapidly and can hold on in any soil conditions any water condition and desert environments and has some branches can even grow an inch in two months so it is also great for firewood and biomass production edit: oh and they clone easy from cuttings If possible for next video if you could get a pomegranate eat most of it and plant the seeds next to the other trees near the pond
I have been growing 16 pomegranates for one year now. They will go out to the ranch when phase one of the pond is done. I will probably plant some vitex around the ranch. They grow well in central Texas in the wild. Thanks for following along as always.
A 6x6 2.5 or 5 ton military dump truck would greatly speed up your production and save your truck. I think the older ones are all mechanical so rats and stuff wouldn't be as big of an issue. Regardless, I thoroughly enjoy watching your progress.
I have thought about other options to move the spoils. The biggest problem is that sometimes it's seven months between trips out to the ranch. The dump truck would have all kinds of problems when I try to get it running again. The other problem would be the mice and rats. The Subaru that's been at the ranch for a good long while now is all torn up. They have eaten all the insulation off the wires eaten into all of the seats, and the whole car is full of pee and droppings to the point you would have to have a tyvek suit to get into it. I think until I'm at the ranch full-time, the dump trailer is my best option for now. Thanks for following along with the ranch build as always.
Good question, and thanks for watching the project. There is ground water in some areas around here, but it's not Guaranteed, you're going to find it in every spot. The water is 350 feet to 750 feet down. I could not afford the 30,000 to 50,000 thousand to drill a well, so I built my own setup.
@helencook4248 Oh, sorry to hear that. It's good to hear you will get to go back home today. The hospital is the last place you want to spend the holidays. I wish you a quick recovery back to full health again. Thanks for watching the project as always.
We had several cans of fruits and various tomato cans....stored in conditioned space. All leaked and ruined. A case of spam has lasted 12 years beyond "best buy" date, but several did bulge up in that case.. (trash now)
pond looks fantastic,nice to see duckc, have grear Xmas❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thanks for watching the project as always. I hope your Christmas will be great as well. The pond is a beautiful sight in the Chihuahuan desert.
You’re a bloody hard worker mate - keep it up!

Nice job
Thanks for the compliment and for watching the project.
Great progress Simon! 💪😊👍
Thanks for following along as always. It was a productive day at the ranch.
The duck must have been happy to find a water body but also disappointed that there was no food in the water (yet).
Yes, I'm sure the duck needed a break. When the pond is done, I will have large flocks of ducks stopping by, I'm sure. Thanks for following along with the ranch build as always.
@@TimelineRanch He'll fly in next year with his wife and kids to relax on the beach and eat all the grass on the property )))

Rocks galore!
There is no shortage on rocks at the ranch that for sure. Thanks for following along with the project as always.

The Kubota is a game changer at the ranch for sure. Thanks for watching as always.
Soon you'll have a whole flock of ducks visiting your pond. It's great that what you do has benefits for the local wildlife.
I'm sure in the future it will be a beautiful sight here at the ranch. A little at a time, the magic is happening. Thanks for following along with the project as always.
progresssssssss! this is going to be a great oasis
It would be cool to see what the ranch looks like in ten years. I can see little changes in the right direction, but still a long way to go. Thanks for watching the project.
@@TimelineRanch It already is a great oasis, I see the vision and really dig it. Your attention to the flora and fauna is admirable. Cheers!
@goochbootch3466 They let me know that I'm on the right path.
Sounds like you could have a kite festival there.
I think you would probably break a few kites. It was a windy night and morning at the ranch. Thanks for following along with the progress.

Very nice zoom on that camera what kind is it? Love seeing the duck, the game wardens told me i get ducks on my place when it holds water.

That is alot of wear and tear on your truck/trailer. Its time to get a single or dual axle dump truck.? Its looking good!

@@TimelineRanch WOOHOO nice
I see the duck. It will put the word out and there will be more.
That's what I'm hoping for. They will bring some more buddies. Thanks for watching as always.
Should have said the duck would put "the quack" out.
A small artificial island and he might be able to breed there 🤔✌️
That could be arranged in the future. Thanks for following along with the project.

Do you have any natural ground water there?

@@TimelineRanch I kind of suspected something like that, but thought I would verify. Keep up the great work!
@jbbuzzable I'll keep making the magic happen a little at a time.
I love your place, in the hospital with a broken hip but going home today, enjoyed your videos while here
