Working in the mud with the John Deere compact tractor. #diesel #compacttractor #mud

Getting some barn history from John Mcnamara about our old timber frame barn that we are trying to keep standing. #oldbarn #history #barn

A buddy of mine says not to use pallet forks this way, but hey, it worked. We got tired of hitting this rock while mowing. We had no idea it was this big. #rock #johndeere #compacttractor

Our cat Junior is 19 years old this month, we're not sure of the exact date, so Happy Birthday Junior! #cat #cats #catshorts

Cutting brush seems to be never ending here on the property. #brushhog #compacttractor #tractor

I know, you can cut them down, but they grow back, so we're pulling them out with the Chevy K3500 Duramax diesel pickup. We had a lot of rain, so we have a lot of mud and slick conditions. Trying to clear a patch of under growth around a big beautiful walnut tree. #pickup #truck #duramaxdiesel

I don't take many trees down, so I'm trying not to destroy this historic stone building while getting rid of a few trees that are way too close. #Husqvarna #chainsaw #treework

Check out the size of that rock. We took a little trip to pick up some Locust fence posts, we prefer these over metal t-posts. #fencing #posts #travel

So I have this "free" Cub Cadet 2166 that I have been working on. The left rear tire wouldn't stay on the rim, so I decided to try $30 worth of Slime instead of getting new rubber. The stuff seems to have worked for me. So give it a try. #slime #cubcadet #tractor

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
