Do you just have a bucket or are you also able to attach a hay spear and/or pallet forks and/or something else? Perhaps/probably might need an adapter plate if you are attaching other tools/implements.
My grandfather had a relatively small fenced yard, but a big outer area that he would have cattle graze during Summers when his pasture was stressed. His temp fence was Hot Shot and the cattle tended to respect it.
My first close and personal experience with an electric fence was quail hunting on our deer lease outside of Bracketville in the late 80's. To cross a fence you'd use the butt of your shotgun to push the top wire down and then carefully straddle over it. Then one day the wire slipped off of the gun and mid-straddle hit me right in the crotch. It'll zap ya through a pair of jeans, I can confirm.
Hired an arborist to remove a few massive Hemlock and Red Cedars, they left a few stumps of 5ft wide and 2 ft above grounds ,ordered a chainsaw from Amazon and started but never finished with 20" bar, decided to slice it like pizza and use the skid to shave it, big mistakes as I busted the bucket hydrulic cylinder , but at least the dougwood tree has room to breath now, should had watched more youtube before attempting to do it
labor is quite expensive here, each tree cost 2200$, permit 1500$, so I don't even bother to goto a shop , tried JB weld, worked for a minute, the end cap ruptured, rod ,oring seems OK, just the groove that were damaged, ebay suppliers seems to have something similar, will take a few week to try it out, taking measurements was a bit of learning curve, new stuff to me
I agree about the bonfire, but he needs to get the bucket on his skid steer working or come up with some way to offload the wood. Even the split pieces of wood look like a Pain in The Back to me.
You had to spend for a permit to remove trees? Is the property in a protected area that caused the need for a permit?
tree protection bylaws is quite strict, the certified Arborist was worried about his license and city's inspection though I had compelling reasons to remove a dozen of trees, Dougwood in particular represent the symbols of BC, so it's a No-case. at some point some landscaping company thought it'd a good idea to cover the ground with plastic ,add fiberglass insulation material, then add mesh,cover everything with sand to level the ground and prevents soil erosion, and plant Laurel shrubs and poisonous ivey vines, and a reported case of 200ft tall tree that collapsed barely help convince the city to issue the permit without having to plant 14ft tall replacement trees. plenty of trees and moss lawn left
Since much of Texas doesn't have such a disciplined program for trees, it would take some serious rethinking about trees if somebody from Texas moved to your neighborhood. They used chain saws or commercial forestry equipment to bring those trees down?
Dealing with trees with a Hydraulic Shear on a Skid Steer is better than doing it with a chain saw, but there are limitations on what is possible. On smaller trees, they can make quick work of things.
Since the conversation has moved from lawnmowers to Skid Steers A Skid Steer with plenty of Muscle and a Fat Wallet to pay for the Firewood Processor are necessary for doing this. Maybe $20,000 was the price in the past for a larger/better Firewood processor attachment, but it probably costs a fair bit more today.
