    I would like to thank those of you that take the time to view my adventures. I love the work I do and post my adventures to maybe help others in a small way. There was a gentleman on the forum when I first joined that provided me with a great education because of his numerous posts from Canada. Because of the education he provided myself and many others on the forum I post my challenges. I hope one of the old timers on the forum (Mech) will provide a link to his threads. He was very knowledgeable, creative, and entertaining. I believe his name was Gustavus? I would encourage newer members to read his old threads for the wealth of information contained within.

    This is something I found buried in the trees after the grass fire. It is an antique road grader pulled by a team of horses originally and then converted to be pulled by a tractor. Although I could have sold it for a great deal of money to a museum (the landlord gave it to me), instead it was donated to the local one room school house township museum maintained by the locals. Great PR and a source of local pride.





    If you look at the base you will see red spray paint. Whenever I start a project I walk with the owner and spray paint everything they do not want. Then there is no confusion. As an added strategy, all loads delivered are photographed to eliminate any misunderstandings. Just an idea for others out there.

    The manure in this feedlot had not been cleaned up for over 40 years. This was one of the projects. The manure was five foot deep in some spots and had to be leveled. 30 loads were hauled and used to fertilize fields. The rest was used to level the property and return it to the homestead days.
