hauling rocks

[Chop Shop]

Lots of work! Nice job.

Around here the county would declare that a "wetlands violation" and then steal half your land and make you "reclaim" it with swamp plants and big fines.

yep 580l case is probably the best thing i own (almost own) and with the thumb i can pick up a 4' rock,. im a cash on the barrel kind of guy but for tax reasons and the right now factor i pulled the trigger on mine.  if you can swing a small payment youd never go back to farm equipment. when shees paid off bye bye manual mill hello orange... ill keep ol thomas around as a permanent mill with like 50' of track for specialty stuff.

There are big piles of pretty small rocks all around the perimeters of the open spaces on our place, which I am told were accumulated by the farm kids in days of old.  Parents would line them up to de-rock the fields.

Would that be...Collective farming?

I popped several turtles on my 1411 discbine in my hay cutting days finding the ones they could not move.  It was like "metal 🐢 meets stone 🐢", not so happy outcome.

Northern VA has LOTS of rock walls on its pricey estates.  I guess their rock picking had more style.
