 Terracing my property

What do you mean most of your comments are too long? for who, not for me, just think of who you are talking to - one who has no or not much knowledge of the terminology in tractorland.
My question was - I do not understand what you mean by you do not "TOUCH" the 3ph, the word emphazied now is touch - what do you mean by that. Also - You can switch from cut to drag to spread "ON THE FLY" with one. what do you mean by on the fly?
There are plenty of natural rip rap on these roads. Just came across another one that needs to be moved down to the bottom of the turnaround because I need to make the area that they are in lower, however they wont budge.
There, as I have mentioned previously, has never been an erosion problem, but the road hasn't been worked in at least 20 years, soooo, I don't know what will happen this winter during the rains. I have cut a shallow groove on the bank side of the road as you suggested. I suppose if I wet it well now after finishing the roads and pack it down good with the tractor it will be alright. Would you advise the purchase of a roller to pack the ground with?
I do not have to stop and get off the tractor to change the blade length, I must have misunderstood your question.
After making a rip in the ground (another project) there is still dirt in the trench, what can I do to empty it without doing hand work; I am laying pvc pipe for irrigsation.

 Terracing my property

Tom
I am getting better at seeing what you are talking about in my head, but is still difficult to get the complete picture. Wish there were someone to show me or that I could watch doing thier work; that is the best way that I learn. All my life I have never been around any tractor or anyone that drove a tractor, so getting a real hang of it is rather difficult. There are so many things to think about when you are driving. But I suppose after awhile it will become second nature to me.
What am I going to do about the hudge rock in the middle of the road that I cant seem to move? Guess I could just leave it there and straddle it when driving on that road. Only thing is - it is right in the middle where the turnaround hase to be soooo... I just dont know. I could always work around it then after I'm done see how much of a problem it creates, yes? Course working around it is going to have to be done very causiously.

 Terracing my property

The diameter of the pipe is 3/4" which needs to be laid at least 18" deep. I'll look into renting or go to the supplier or... have one made that can be attached to the bottom of the ripper.
Do you have experience with the commericial chipper shredders? I've used my newly purchased PTO driven Bear Cat for only two days now. The chipper works like a dream, chewing up 5"x5' branches in a matter of seconds. But almost every time small branches (less than 1" in diameter) and leaves are added to the shredder it clogs up. I Spoke to the manufacturer on the phone yesterday, he said in a matter of words that you had to be carefus what you put in the shredder, even small limbs should be put in the chipper. Well, a chipper only I could have bought from where I purchased the tractor but they only carried chippers. I wanted to upgrade from the small chipper/shredder that I already have. I'm discusted and about ready to send the darn thing back. The shredded on the small machine does better than the new one and also has gotton clogged only twice in the 8 years I have had it. Humph!

 Terracing my property

Hey!
To all you guys who helped me so much with advice and info on terracing my property. I have finished one terrace in the south grove; one of the road turn-around cutouts fillups and other asundry projects. plus digging and pulling out 8 dead or deased trees. Just wanted to give you all an update since you havent heard from me in quite a while. Plus - in a totally unrealated subject ... sold my first painting.
Thanks again
Reberta
oh I also solved the chipper problem by using a smaller grate, worked wonders. no more clogging.
