[QUOTE="bigbluegrass, post: 1389637, member: 15537"] Margonme The dozer you used and the loader I have are similar in that they are track machines. But what you used looks a lot nicer! Mine is a 1994 machine. A bit more HP than what you used, but no dozer blade. Much cheaper. 1. I have had good luck with fall seeding also, so I intended to plant as much in the fall as possible. I might just have to do small areas each fall, depending on how much I can get done in a year. 2/3. do you think a summer cover crop would help hold the soil in place? It could be grazed off in the late summer or early fall or just roll it down with the loader tracks before fall seeding. Or will that be a mistake? 4. I have a loader vs a dozer, but I think I can use the teeth to dig/scrape the top. The cleats do put nice lines in the ground. 5. It is plenty steep. The picture is very deceiving. It looks like the bales are right next to each other and in reality they are 30 ft apart. I won't be driving on the hill, probably ever with anything other than the track loader. I can broadcast the seed with a shoulder seeder, which I already have. You didn't drill yours in? Is that seed mix from Southern States? If it is, I used it before. Did you burn the trees or just pile them up? Here are the soil reports from areas near here and areas that will be cleared later. The pH is higher than I remember: [url=https://postimg.org/image/renknbffx/][img]https://s30.postimg.org/renknbffx/img_170106205718_001.jpg[/img][/url] [url=https://postimg.org/image/b9qlt09cj/][img]https://s29.postimg.org/b9qlt09cj/img_170106205718_002.jpg[/img][/url] [url=https://postimg.org/image/5p990x3cf/][img]https://s27.postimg.org/5p990x3cf/img_170106205718_003.jpg[/img][/url] [/QUOTE]
