I am not sure what part you mean but time shall tell. I am taking a guess you mean due to the edges and the drop ... and if that is the case I am not concerned. Not the first time I have had that steep of a bank, all the rocks and clay hold things nicely. Besides, this is not the finished product but nearly a phrase in making drive as wide as possible. Dozer will make edges less steep at the end of all this :)

I just let it sit until summer. Sadly the oil was useless for me as I had planned. Lesson learned -- keep a bottle inside the house just incase :)

I am trying to edit more vids to upload. I actually deleted a few days instead of uploading since the changes were not drastic enough for me to think worth while BUT ... I hope walls are poured in 3-4 days! Getting closer.

Thanks! Since we have had this property for 12ish years we drive in and find the changes hard to believe :D

I was worried we would need to use explosives, it was listed as a possibility. Thankfully we did not need any as that would ahve raised my costs pretty high.

wow, that is a hard question :) Yes: if you have time to work with the dog, room for it to run and if you have the patience of Job! I have over 80 ac of land and go to training once a week with Meka. She is the best dog I ever had. If you want to understand why I say what I say watch this video * ua-cam.com/video/Gmdcw2YVoxs/v-deo.html This is a typical day with her. She is akin to drinking a case of sugar infused energy drinks and then trying to sit still to watch a movie! Now, if you can handle all that for the next 10-13 years ... I cannot recommend a duchie enough. This one follows me everywhere, velcro dog is an understatement.

I have many many many rocks, if only there was a way to make money from rocks without destroying my place :) Rain is always something I am dealing with on my driveway. Grand total I have about 1/2 mile of driveway and there are spots where I get ruts over time. Typically I need to touchup about once a year, or two. You are right tho, if left unchecked I will get big tire swallowing ruts in my drive.

She is FULL of energy and even when she is giving me extra work she is fun. I will say this is my first duchie and I think I'll have this breed from here out. They are a TON of work but awesome dogs. I have NOT trained her for bite work but I am pretty confident from how she acts that if someone threatened me she would react. You do need to watch this breed for overworking themselves. Food and water are not the first things on her mind when outside. I am trying to train her to "water" means take a drink. I have hopes that once my house is further along to work with my trainer for search and rescue. My previous dog was SAR but he liked cadavers a bit toooo much so we were never deployed :)

@lindaarnold5683 these 2 live in a 5ac fence pasture with sheep, goats and pigs. They are young still and their main goal is to make sure the coyotes, bobcats and such stay away from my animals 😀

You are most likely correct on the pick a corner comment. But, I was not asked, they just dug away.

This is sure turning into a journey. Progress has mov ed along faster than I can edit videos. We get the footers poured in two days! I am excited. I hope yours goes smoothly. Keep an eye on what I am doing and checkout North of 44 Degrees for his build process. Then you can do even better, third time is a charm they say :-)

Awww, sad when they leave us, for any reason. I wonder, was your Mika as crazy as mine is? :D

I struggle with her chewing everything. The first trip to the vet with her at 10 weeks old my vet said "ohhh, this is a mouthy breed, you better get her good training!" He was spot on. She is not happy unless she is either chewing / destroying something or being worked.

The better to hear you with 😂

I am trying to break her of that habbit but she is crazy for rocks. Right now I have a house build going on and rocks everywhere as the excavators are digging, she is in hog haven. I am worried about her teeth. My wife has already told she cannot have titanium implants :)

Thanks!

This is a journey for sure. I need to edit and upload a few more days as we just finished day 15 yesterday. This look way different since day 5 :) I have had this driveway for about 12 years. Over time I have done little things myself to make it better but never even close to all this work. They dug over 2,000 yards of dirt for the house, most went on the entrance -- give you an idea of how drastically different that is now!

@@tlchomestead I have to remember to watch your shorts!!!! 🤔 You do a lot more with the short format videos than I do. I'll get caught up later this evening.

​@Northof44Degrees-rj5wt i do more of the shorts because they are easier. I'll get my long vids edited someday soon. I am getting close to where the mad dash will be on hold wai5ing for cement to dry 😅

I cannot speak to speed of his work, I can say when I dug the existing wallow which is 1/4 the size it took me over an hour, by hand. He dug each of these ones in under 5 minutes, made me happy :)

I was lucky, and careful when taking apart. The gasket was from the initial pump cover. I cleaned it up and re-used. So far no problems doing that for me.

My concern was more about umm ... depth? How far into the bed of my truck my little tractor can reach with the bucket. I could not reach the hitch from install location with my bucket. I have since gotten a pair of forks for my tractor so I'll bet they reach, nto tried yet so who knows :)

I have a 100w briefcase solar panel I tried. I'll have to post a follow up vid but basically it turns out the EF delta 2 has a minimum required supply of power. My little panel must be right on the edge. Full sun and I got a slow charge, any clouds and it quit charging. My briefcase panel measured at 125w / 4.6amp open load. Now, the EF does state there must be a charge controller between the unit and the panel. I do have 4x 400w panels in storage which last I tested those they are 12amp each. The EF has a max of 15amp so they should be ok. More projects for someday where there is time :)

It might be the other way around, you re ahead of me in this process so I been trying to learn from you :) I have 3-4 days worth of vids I need to edit but it has been busy with everything going on. I may just skip and have a "here we are now" type of video. Kind of like your Catch Up video. Only issue with that is my wife wants everything documented ... All I need is time!

yup, lessons learned for a first try

Yup! Kind of nice the included a spare. I have not required it yet :)

I'll have to try that. Thanks!

All the changes to driveway and seeing a giant hole in the ground is really getting us excited!

I am always worried about her teeth :(

Thanks! Lots of progress I have recorded and hope to upload some more videos soon! The driveway looks way different and I have a huge hold on my top pasture.

Thanks for that! I have installed many more clips since this video, we will NOT say how many :) Now a days I take the small side of the clip and just use the ranch pliers and crimp it, then wrap the longer tail side like in this video. Saves me some time and so far those clips are holding sooooo ...... **shrug**

I meant to reply sooner but I dont have one to try. She was insane but smart enough to learn I did not want her to lick and amazingly she quit licking.

I hope it sparks some ideas for you :)

She is a handful for sure!

Yeah, she got tired of it as well so I hid it for a while and tried again. She seems toi really focus on thinghs she can tear up like jute tubs and firehose type toys :)

I had to look up what repair tires looked like and I like them! I will say that when I am making sharp turns I have to be a bit careful to slow down a bit you I can tear uptime grass with the ones I put on :)

@@tlchomestead yes ZT are new to me and same thing I try to make a sharp turn and think why aren’t I moving and I look back and all the grass is torn up from the tires spinning. Lol. Learning curve. 😁

Back when I was doing this job all I had was a bucket. I have since bought some forks and love them.

I love the tough but and never had another model to compare against and since I am new I have to assume my lack of experience causes my slowness. The pin dance as you call it has not bothered me since I have never known another option :) I will say that lifting the deck has come in super handy to get things (barbwire and such) off the spindles.

😋

Sounds fun ... errr, dangerous :D

I was trying o get the battery out to go to town "quickly" and my initial thoughts was this would be a quick video. As long as this took a trickle change would have been just as quick and a lot easier.

I will say that this year, 2024, I have not gone through a single belt yet. I'll bet I lose 2 in the next week now. I think the difference is in 2023 I was doing a LOT more clearing of my land. Many 1-2" trees and super thick brush. Later this fall I plan on doing a good re-cut of the areas I cleared back in 2022 when this machine was brand new and I was eating belts like ice cream. That will be a real test.

LOL. It does look like a ball of light!
