Mud season

I'm from mass and I'm used to mud season ending in April......at the latest the beginning of may. Here we are almost into July and it's still rainy and muddy to the point my woodlot and landing are constantly soaked. Before I know it October mud will be here. What happened to summer?

Here in Ohio theres fellows working but still alot of woods is still to wet. I would be pretty wired but with the engine out of my skidder right now I know I couldn't work if I wanted to so I stay pretty mello ;D For sure it is a different summer I am waiting for the wheat to come off for some of my jobs. I don't know if it's me or what but the wheat sure is turning in a hurry. It wouldn't surprise me if there in it around the fourth of July this year.

All this rain is sure holding things up. The mud just isn't drying out. :

Blame Al Gore and his global warming/climate change

Mlamountain not to get off the subject but I think I saw on craiglist that your selling your skidder that you recently purchased am I right?

I've put some feelers out there. I can only operate one at a time. I'm also selling my other 664. My 08 f350. 75 acres. A couple houses. A few puppies. Pigs. Unfortunately I haven't found many buyers. But as long as the advertising is free im gonna keep advertising.

Yup I have sold a lot of things on there as well. Your selling lots of stuff yourself keep trying I'm sure you'll find a buyer for it all.

Hey Mlamountain, I know how you feel. I'm about 40 miles north of you (I think). My woods are so wet that I can't get to most of it without making deep ruts. It has been a real problem this year starting the 2nd week of January with deep snow, then a very wet spring, and the wet and mud has stayed with us still. In fact, it's raining right now! >:( I just log part time as a hobby, but I feel bad for you guys who make your living from it.

Good Luck! Ralph
