Correct... 62 mostly wooded acres.. 2 acre meadow.. a cottage...I should not have used the word farm..just a saying i've been raised up with when you are selling things off.. sell the farm..I'm not sure selling it with the land and camp is something the family would go for at this time as we are going to keep the land for one more year or so. Would be a great idea though to sell it all together. If the buyer had cash for the whole shebang it would be great for them, otherwise financing it they would probably pay way more in the long run. Obviously the tractor does not get the use we had planned, therefore we thought someone else could put it to better use. There is 15 grand in the tractor and was hoping not to take a huge loss. I didnt know Kubota was offering such great incentives. I contemplate running it in the local papers and swap sheet or even trying ebay with a reserve price. We dont want to take too big of a hit in our pocket book with a huge loss, but if its not getting used, what good is it for anyone. Like I said a year ago, we need a bulldozer. No joke. We were somewhat misguided when we purchased it. Thanks everyone one for their input. It is very enlightening.

I think the best bet would be to hire a local up around the camps town who has such equipment who hopefully wont charge an arm and leg and have them clear out a few problems back there. Also the only two decent paths that go to the back forty are steep. When i go up them on the atv i do so standing up but leaning way forward over the steering. Too steep for me to attempt at this point on a tractor. I've walked the land a million times and know with a little chainsaw work.. and a bigger machine..could blaze a better trail rather than the really steep hill. Like i said, just have to find someone who doesnt want a fortune and who wont destroy the land like the previous logger. We had a very bad logger encounter several years back. The logger was doing some work on the same little road so we walked down and asked him what he would charge to clear a path around the permimeter of the property. Of course i'm sure you could imagine the rest of the story. He said, no charge if he could just remove some of the cherry trees around the perimeter where he was working to cover his expenses. Also said he would pay my dad 4 grand since there was alot of timber where he would be making his skidder trail. Gentlemans agreement, he and my father shook hands. Later the logger stopped by my parents house for coffee, with a contract. Dad at that point was dealing with cancer and really doped up. Logger had him sign a contract just as a standard type thing, said everything will be as we said. None of were around dad at that point in time and didnt even know a contract had existed. So...He clear cut. Everything mostly..For months he was logging our land, in very wet conditions, leaving behind ruts and tree tops ect...It was a nightmare since my father had signed the contract. Yes, lawyers were contacted but since dad signed the contract. I later hired a tree guy who came in to give a rough estimate of timber removed. From only what he saw.. rough estimate.. was 80 grand of cherry removed and land left behind.. destroyed...stone fences annhilated.. tree tops everywhere..bad scene...I know this may have nothing to do with the thread of stumps being removed..but i dont ever want anyone to ever make the same mistake again. Know who you dealing with and pay to have a contract looked at.. forget hand shaking.. swoozing kind of crap. Spell out in detail what you want done and get that in writing. Taking advantage of my fathers state of mind was unforgivable. But as karma would have it, the loggers son who was working with him a year or so later was killed in a logging accident..Not that i was happy to hear it.. but what comes around sort of goes around. So that is why i'm a little leary of hiring anyone to do anything. We do know a few people around there now who have some logging equipment who are more than willing to help clear it up when they get some spare time. But their really busy and I would hate to crimp into their money making time of year. As for the stumps around the camp the plan will be the sawzall. Thanks again to everyones input..
