That's a good idea Dean, I do the same with my back blade for snow,
otherwise I leave half my driveway in the road. <br>

<p class="MsoNormal">My red tractor often shows up in photos of
my ongoing battle against osage orange trees, since it’s
typically hooked to a utility trailer that’s well suited for
hauling chainsaw, log chain, firewood, etc. But for those who
favor the green-and-yellow ones, here’s a photo from yesterday
of the 1958 John Deere 620. I’d had it out to back-blade a
gravel lane, and then gave the same treatment to the ashes
remaining from a recent bonfire site. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In the photo, the bare dirt area
immediately beneath and behind the tractor resulted from a
series of very large bonfires last spring which disposed of
several large osage stumps and all the branches and trunk
sections except what I kept for firewood. The little bit of
new ash in the lower right corner was one of two smaller
bonfires from just a couple weeks ago, which served to clean
up a brushpile I’d accumulated over the summer and burn a
couple smaller stumps and surfaced roots. The overall area
had originally looked like the mass of trees to the right,
just a dense mess. I gripe about the tediousness of clearing
that stuff out, but it helps to have some old tractors
involved.<o:p></o:p></p>
