    Before retirement I really enjoyed working on trails in the woods and solving drainage problems, used to give a sense of creativity.

    love reclaiming trails like that. Can't imagine how long that would take by hand to clear some of that thick stuff. Nice work. That would be so much fun to be able to ride on trails again for the first time after being closed off.

    I smiled at you clearing off the leaves from the air intake. I t reminded me of, when , several years ago I was using my lawn tractor on a blowy dry day suddenly no power! lifted the bonnet (sorry hood) found a compressed layer of leaves and dry grass packed over the intake. Ran a lot better when cleared!!
    Nice trails and work. Glad the owner was stoked over the result.

    Awesome job of clearing those trails with nothing getting broken on the dozer or you Captain.
    I imagine a couple of those ditch/creeks could use some pip with dirt on them to keep down the washouts would be a good idea but that's up to the property owner.
    Thanks for the Sunday entertainment.

    To spend a day in the woods seems really great, but to get paid to spend a day in the woods is truely awsome Mike. Envey from me but being in someone elses private space is a true gift to receive.

    It's interesting to see forest clearing work without a protective cage. One can most likely get away with it for years, but a rogue tree can spring pole or act like a spear. Be careful out there.

    When i did towing and road service we had jumper cables made from heavy duty welding cable and a quick connect on the truck so we could jump start anything within 30’ of our truck. It seems to me that might be a good idea on the big green truck!
