I'm not a fan of snakes. I almost stepped on this one. Geez. We were burning some brush and must have disturbed it home. Sorry. #sankes #nature #reptiles

Crank no start on a John Deere 4600. Any thoughts? #cranknostart #johndeere #diesel

Horseshoe Falls Terryville, Connecticut After Heavy Rain. Not as much water as I expected, I've seen it worse. #waterfall #terryville #horseshoefalls

Backing the 2000 Grand Cherokee into some Japanese Knotweed to rescue a table. #jeep #japaneseknotweed #grandcherokee

Charging a new Diehard Silver 27F battery for the tractor. Yes, when you get a new battery they are usually not charged up. This was the only one I could find in stock in my area. #diehard #battery #compacttractor

Making a big burn pile while clearing out a field. #compacttractor #johndeere #diesel

Using a tow behind cultivator behind the Arctic Cat ATV. It seems to work fairly well, a deeper row would be better, also a way to raise and lower it would be nice too. The 316 has a tiller on the back, so I removed the 3 point arms from that, so the manual way it is. #cultivation #plowing #atv

A condensed drive of about 250 or 300 miles. The GoPro got too hot so the whole trip may not be. Just driving through some of rural America before getting on the New York Thruway and getting stuck in traffic. Thanks for watching. #roadtrip #driving #gopro

Using an old Husqvarna 435 Chainsaw to cut down a dead leaning tree while cleaning up a property. I haven't cut many trees down, I was happy this one fell where I wanted it to go. #chainsaw #Husqvarna #treework

Nothing better than burning some brush on warm summer night. #fire #burning #brush

So I knocked a deck roller off the mower on the John Deere 316 about 9 seconds in. Crazy. I'm just happy it didn't hit anyone. We brush hogged that field, but have started to pull out the trees to avoid this in the future. #johndeere #316 #mowing

This was a good day, the first day with the John Deere 316. These things were built to work, amazing. #johndeere #johndeeretractor #grass

The Newton Lake community each year collects donations for their annual fireworks -- always a party night in Greenfield Township, Pa. #fireworks #gopro #july4th #community

This Cub Cadet 2554 is a beast of a tractor. We didn't have much time, so we were using a Craftsman PYT9000 at the same time. #cubcadet #tractor #mowing

Using a propane torch to burn roots of Japanese Knotweed without much luck. #japaneseknotweed #fire #propane

I get about 10 minutes of mowing this tall Japanese Knotweed and then the PTO stops working. I'm assuming it's getting too hot or something. #cubcadet #lawnmower #tractor
