Chris, would it be possible to show the progress you made on your property via the drone? Maybe compare old footage to current footage. I did not realize the beauty of the property until 3:50 into this video. Cameras, though, can only show so much. Thanks again.
Jeff, I think that would be a great idea. I'll see if I can get an up-to-date flyover done in the next couple weeks. The farm continues to improve with every project undertaken, long process, and you don't see the change week to week, but as you point out if you go way back the change is quite remarkable really. Now even though I don't have that up-to-date fly over, I did make one a number of weeks ago that gives you a glimpse at what it was like in the beginning. My drone skills are not great, and my equipment is worse. First drone was a $100 and I killed it in that video. Current drone is a 6 year old hand me down, a little better.

Chris, I just rewatched episode 84 and I can see the difference. You have done a lot of work on the property. You have increased the curb appeal. Any interactions with the neighbors?
@@jeffmayeux1692 I have some great neighbors and some... not so much. Behind the barn is a large parcel, Hugh's farm, great guy, checks on me once in a while, to the left of the barn another big parcel, Wendel, another great guy see him almost every weekend as he inspects his fence lines or goes around trimming them. Out front (the house stuck in front corner of property) - nice enough, but have tendency to treat my property as their own :(
Worked a lot better on the driveway than it did on the lawn making the garden. I know you can use it to do landscaping ... to knock off high spots and fill in low spots, maybe I'll give that a go at some point as well. Not sure how much the rear plow blade costs, but if all you are doing is dressing up a driveway... or even snow, that may be a better option than the expensive box blade.
@@TryNewThings Driveways are not hard to maintain as long as all of the drainage issues are take care of. Like you said keep the center knocked down and don't plow out all of your gravel when it snows.
I love it when you can be a PRO on your first attempt... that typically isn't the case with my projects (especially painting for some reason). Logan, thanks for the feedback, have a great weekend.
I would like to have one, but as of yet not purchased a hydraulic top link. Would make making adjustments to the angles a whole lot easier and quicker for sure.

You made it look easy... I have never used a box grader but always wanted to have one.

Great job! You're a pro now!

I couldn’t tell, are you using a hydraulic top link? Grading a drive is actually pretty fun!

What size box blade you using on your RK25. Need to get one for mine.
I went with the 60”. Works a treat!
Sounds like your in love.....
