Digging out the old dam pond. Likely hasn t been dug since 1933. How far below the spillway inlet should I go?
(quoted from post at 13:45:29 05/09/20) Older post but always needs to be someone with a critical reply, that will be me this go around. Wondering why
you use that cross bar hitch on your 3 point to tow that truck dump bed? If I was doing it I would use the draw
bar due it being much more solid. I understand that this makes it easy to hitch up, but just hitch it with the 3 point
a then block it at the right height to hook on the drawbar. I think no matter how close you have the 3 point anti-
sway blocks set it will still have side to side play. That constant banging would irritate the heck out of me. Just
IMOP.
(quoted from post at 16:01:49 05/09/20) I understand your reasoning all is good. Even though
I didn?t comment on it I have some earth moving
genes. My dad liked all sort of projects like that and in
part that was passed on to me. He had an eye for
grade when fixing terraces on our KS farm. He also
ran the road grader in our township. Early on my
grandpa also helped with the local roads but I think it
was more out of necessity back then. I think part of
what he did involved a team of horses. On a little
more of an antidotical note when we had the local
bulldozer guy come out to our farm in the 60s and 70s
to put in terraces, a pond or clean up trees my dad
would always be out there with our trusty Farmall H
with the trip loader. We had a sprayer that mounted
on the back that used two 55 gallon drums to hold the
spray mix. He would fill them about half full.with
water. He would clean up and pile brush, smaller
stumps and pretty up the dribbles as he called it. The
dozer guy would always comment how much that little
Farmall could do. In the later years when the engine
was starting to wear out we really kind of neglected it
because we didn?t feel it was worth putting much
money in. Its final demise was a ball bearing under a
bull gear that popped out the casting. I now have that
same ...Horndraulic... loader on my M. As far as the
depth you should cut it out to I can?t speak for that. I
could not make much out of the picture you showed
of the wash out you said you were fixing.
