Working on a walking/biking trail through my woods.

Been using the tractor to cut a path through my woods to walk and bicycle on. This one will eventually tie into the existing path that has been here since we bought the land. And I will be making more loops through areas that look interesting. Been using my tractor for this work, of course. Using nearly all of my implements and attachments in the process. The tree puller is worth it's weight in gold. But then again, actually ALL of the implements are in the category. Well, except the bucket. I really don't use that all that much. So anyway I took out my new drone (DJI Mini 4 Pro) and ran it up and down the trail to get some video. I was walking behind the drone at the time. I don't think I trust it yet to just stand at one end and fly it without direct eyes on.


 
You’ve been busy! I’ve been puttering around with mine. I’m going to take it to get serviced when I get another 8 hours on it. Meanwhile, since we get 3+ day weekends now, I let my yard man go and bought a new 72 inch Husqvarna Z532X to go with my 48 inch Scag zero turn. We have 4 1/2 acres and the old Scag would take a while to get it done. This big mower gets it done in about a third of the time and we are hoping to retire in 5 years so it will be paid for before then.

 
Here is a video of me using the WoodMaxx MX9900 wood chipper to get rid of trees, limbs, brush, etc, that I moved out of the trail I am building.

 
The wood was kind of wet so the teeth on the feed roller weren't getting the grip they needed. So had to wiggle the log around a bit.

I am being careful. I had plenty of distance between my hand and the feed roller. Even if it didn't pull me into the chipping blades, the roller itself would hurt quite a bit.
