You'll need a hundred yards at least to fix that patch in the popples. Might have to cordury it.

Best of luck again Ryan. Let us know when you find out.

Sheesh! You're quick! We were just talking about how fun it would be to have one of them this past weekend and POOF you got one! That is AWESOME!!!!

Uh......er..........I mean....DAMMIT DAVE! I thought I got through to you this weekend when you said it would be cool to have one of them groomers! I said "why the he!! would you want that??!!! Shouldn't you buy something nice for your wife instead??!!"

Yep! Thats my story and I'm stickin to it!

Best of luck Ryan! Would the little man be able to leave the state with you?

yes sir, I wouldn't leave without him

Good Deal!

package deal though, the Ex has to go too, so I'm paying to move her down there and get her set up with a place (that she will pay for).

Nice ride !! Now all you need to do is drop one of our 800 horsepower sprint car motors in it ! LOL

Just when I thought I have seen it all......Are those steel cleats on the tracks Dave? That is one cool vehicle! Possibilities are endless......

Rubber belting with steel grousers.

you'll be able to go ANYWHERE you want to now.

could use it for knocking down some brush and making some really thick areas easier to get into. that thing is sweet man!

I can get back into the woods west of the camp driveway down by the gate and haul firewood from all that dead standing tamarack back there. It would be a shame to let it just fall & rot back there. But it's so hard to get to, was so hard to get to.

I am thinking there is a parade in its future too. Maybe adorned with a swamp squid or flying bear that it squished...?

Verrry nice though Dave. I think deep down, all real men want to have one of these. Well, all real men that live up north where there is snow. Both of the real men that live down south have no need for one.

thats exactly where I was thinking too, thin the brush out a little bit, maybe dig a small channel to lower the water table just enough, plant a small food plot, leave the brush along the road so its enclosed, put Pams stand on the east side and when she gets a nice buck opening morning, she will forget about the new machine you bought and encourage you to get whatever you want from here on out

hey, it works in my head, why not in real life?

there is a lot of good tamarack out there ripe for the picking if nothing else

This is the EvilTwin. Howcome I ain't surprised?? Dave, didja check out some of the pics from the buffler hunt?? More to follow oncet I gits home tomorrow nite

I'm going to check that out right now ET/Elkhunter lol!!

Ryan, aren't you the DNR-ish guy in this group? And you're telling me to drain & lower water levels??!! lol!!

you bet I am.
lowering the water table a few feet so it can support vegetation that benefit wildlife isn't a bad thing. especially since the land as it sits right now isn't beneficial to many plants and animals. there are pretty much a handful of species of plants, and few animals. not enough water for ducks, and too "boggy" for travel of other larger animals. too open for grouse. there is a lot of area like that up there, and plenty of cover. food is the limiting factor. if I get the job, this is exactly what I will be doing, managing land for the benefit of wildlife, primarily huntable wildlife.

But that just makes good sense.

It'll never fly with MN DNR. lol!!

its up to the county soil and water district first. they can determine how much would be affected. you might be surprised.

One thing to keep in mind with the Tucker is that it is not a dozer. Our snomo club had one a few years back and the operators, er I mean drivers that tried using it as a dozer wound up breaking something.
