About a week ago, I brought all those large rocks from the bottom of the hill to the top; (see 3/13 post above).  I'm going to see if I can sell some of them on CL.

I have no idea, but my tractor and grapple grunted pretty good picking up the big ones.

A load control valve makes a fair amount of sense in a few applications.  It's not fool proof but is safer than relying on hoses.

A spring ritual, several loader buckets of rocks.  

We have a long row of field stones on the farm.  What I find interesting is the older parts of it have small stones, like golf ball size.  My theory is even the smaller rocks damaged late 1800’s/early 1900’s equipment, and/or small children were out there helping as well.

Nice John Deere. Those tractors have stood the test of time.

My dad has two 850s, one with a loader.

That is pretty wood
I'm guessing the color is from minerals in the soil?

Plans for the future? Table or?

Somebody in another thread said it was caused by some sort of beetle.  All I know is that it was ridden with Black Ants; the sawyer charged me $10 for 4 cans of ant killer while sawing it up.  

It's up on CL to be sold.

That is spalted maple.  The discoloring is fungus and early decay.  The tree is sick from insect damage.  I have used it for a few projects, one being an island table for a customer.Attachment Attached File
