After a move from Phoenix Arizona to southeastern Az. and our home burning to the ground & the insurance not taking care of it we decided to load up what we had left and move across the country, to leave my BEAUTIFUL dessert and start over somewhere new like in the OZARKS. So my wife, 8 kids & I now need to figure our how life works in the bible belt, cut down an area full of brush to get some fruit trees planted, put in the garden, build a chicken coop, put up some deer fence ............and raise our 8 KIDS
1) Find a new home (CHECK) ?) Find a job or start a new business ?) Benefit the community ?) Raise a bunch of boys ?) Find a way to live not just survive ?) Always remind my WIFE how BEAUTIFUL she is Eventually) Put in & harvest from our own fruit/nut orchard. (This one is my dream I have had every since I can remember, my own little Nutty Forest.)
So, no need to irrigate the fruit trees in the long run? Digging them up could kill them--and how big are the roots? Still using the growboxxes or want to sell them to me ? :)
I let my dad load my glock 22 at the range while i was shooting my beretta92s, thinking he knew what he was doing. Well that's the last time im letting others reload my guns lol
@yktv.dreaa4 Most of the time your casing will fail to eject, and the casing will be flared out at the top. It can also chip your barrel from the inside or even damage your ejector. Worst case scenario is your gun blows up. It's rare for that to happen but not impossible. Heres a video of a guy who blew up his gun shooting a 9mm in his 45 m.ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-cjvBGYhOLkg.html it looks like he had a squid from the first 9mm and shot another without realizing
Cattle panels are convenient for water gaps, but man the limbs and brush get caught up in them. I've also used metal roofing panels, hung down from a cable with Ubolts.
You want to have at least of few of those attached to one side of a snatch block by terminating the cable on that side into a hook attached to another snatch block, doubling that side and therefore the entire system, then stack another on that side on one of its branches, and then another. With that number of pulleys, depending on how you anchor and stack them, you could easily get 20:1, or even 30:1, not just 8 or 9. You also want a way to ratchet and lock in ground gained, so you can move the tractor back up and reposition the cables. You'll be pulling far more cable length near the tractor end, due to pulling the equivalent of the sum of each pulley's rope's movement (i.e., the tractor's 'half' being equivalent to the sum of all the other 'half's' cable lengths). So a ratchet or a way of locking/conserving tension while resetting the cables, while the stump is still under tension, is key. Also, there's a loss when you spread out into wide angles like that. For sure, you weren't wanting to put too much on any one anchor tree, but spreading out like that causes a loss of the same mechanical advantage you're trying to achieve with the pulleys (imagine lifting an object by two ropes, first with the ropes parallel and straight up, then with the ropes out to each side being pulled by two different guys, meaning the latter will require a lot more force input into the system). Another point about anchors is to anchor as low as possible, and on the stump end as high as possible for leverage. Putting them high on the anchor reverses that leverage principle and works against you (not to mention having a greater chance of pulling over the anchor tree instead of pulling out the stump). If the stump is too short to tie on high, consider a strong A-frame and run the cable up and over it. Finally, you should never be getting that close to cables under tension, and always put weighted dampening blankets everywhere draped over the cables, to prevent one of those lines coming loose and decapitating somebody. Good luck!!
What breed of cows are those, I’ve never seen markings/colors like that? Animals are 24/7/365 for sure. Good to see you again and hope you have a blessed week and a Happy 4th of July.
Why wouldn't the insurance company handle this? If you don't mind I'm wondering which company you had insurance with, so I don't do business with them.
To my opignion, youi failed, because your cables have to be parallels as possible, and your pulleys was too far appart different directions. ( lost of power here) I`ve would fixed the cable directly on the tractor. (no pulley on it)...
Me and my family went through this same nightmare I was 5 back in 1990. I traumatized to the point I had to see a counselor back when started kindergarten
Hahaha... i don't mean to laugh... I'm laughing cause ive been trying to say snatch block more than five times in a row fast.... lol Man if you were my neighbor I'd lend you my cable, if i could barrow your snatch blocks.. I'm sure you got it by now... i got a monster i dug out got loose but i can't get it out of the hole...
This was the 1st of many times I pulled all of those things out , I have learned quite a few things since then. That stupid stump gave us so Many problemsBut it also taught me a ton
Perfect example. Supply vs demand. WHen the demand is high, raise the price, you are underbidding. We all like to find that guy that will do work dirt cheap, but in reality, this is taking advantage of them.
I can back up a trailer on a dime, with no problem, I have always struggled with pushing it like you did, I guess I have done it for so long, my brain works in reverse.
Its easier to pull your anchor tree down than you think. Its good practice to keep the slings low on the anchor tree. By the same token, you can pull the roots out much easier if you dont cut the tree down first. Attach your pulley fairly high in the tree. The leverage and weight will be a tremendous help. Soggy ground can also help alot.
I don't see you gaining a lot of real estate from extending the fence over the creek and back. Where I am at, it is very politically controlled whenever a waterway of any kind is involved. I would have ended the fence before the creek and placed a boundary post out as a marker for neighbors to recognize. Good luck with this.
Wow Did you figure out that you should not make a spider web? The closer the lines are to each other the more advantage. Simply, use one tree to run all blocks to the stump. Rope angel into a block no more then 15 degrees from rope angle out of the block.
Yep. Same thing happened on mine. I replaced it several times with fencing top rail. Tried to get it out of the way, bent the main pole to mount the tarp.. whole thing is useless.
