Dozers are great, but limited in proper usage. For this application, a crawler loader is a much better option.

I never liked the Blue color so much, as it clashed with the green of surrounding vegetation. This year I used blue-black and black (TSC) and the pond hasn't looked so natural since I moved here in 2001. 4 ac and avg depth of 5 or 6 ft. No inflow or outflow and two gallons of dye every April is just barely enough. With aeration now I pour in more bacteria, say 3 gal 2x/yr.. With lots of leaf litter I need to keep o'all fertility down. Yes, as said in the video use all three!

I'm late to the game, but what if you added a French drain before the sand? Have the runoff go into the pond from the side to reduced erosion.

Having to do all of that alone? Very familiar to me! With all of your fans on the channel there should be someone with free time to help you out. Working in a small space is where the skid steer really makes your life easier! I found that when you deal with burrowing animals in a barn flooding with water is your friend!

Use good quality anti-seize on the spindles where the drive pulleys go on so they don't seize on the shaft for the next time you have to service them.

I have the 9010T, when I went to buy it none of the dealers near me had a T they only had the stupid H model. I had to order a T model. According to a landscaper friend of mine the H models are more durable when you give them to a bunch of animals that can manage to break a rock. Apparently they manage to break the throttle cables and the triggers on the T models all the time. I’ve had mine for a few years and I haven’t managed to break it yet.

When mowing tall brush/grass, watch your tractor temperature as the front grapple/bucket will throw a lot of chaff/seeds into tractor radiator causing tractor to overheat. Need to clean the mesh occasionally

Does the blue dye turn green when the dye wears off
@johncmitchell4941Күн бұрын
I will dilute out over time, but turning green is a sign of more algae. Gotta aerate and add bacteria to keep down o'all fertility, what algae feeds on.
I have a question. I did a lot of prep made my whole driveway out of clay/chert material with 3% slope on each side of the crown and drainage ditches. When I lay the initial big rock layer down, should I try to keep the crown? I find it difficult to grade those big rocks.
