Terrace work

[Southern]

Over the winter due to heavy rains. And years of being in bad shape. The terraces was in bad shape. Which allowed rain to flow down the field slopes. Creating runoffs, and ditches along the woods. So time to bring in the heavy equipment and get them fixed. We got Kenneth Wehunt to do the job for us. He has decades of experience of construction work.

Kenneth Wehunt came in with his dozer. His truck and trailer.



Here he is working on clearing up a terrace.




Here is some of the terrace after he fixed it. He still not done, as he needs to clear out more land to get dirt from. To add to it.


Video of him working on the terrace. He is using a small D5 Caterpillar.

looks great! Yall deffinatly have more terraces then we do. We farm alot of flat prarie ground with gental sloping terraced fields. Our 16r and 30' flex head actually handels them better then smaller equipment due to the amount of flex but if we had a whole bunch real close together, that would be a different story. Looks like a nice little dozer. We have been looking for a D6 or D7 or preferably a Komatsu of a decent size but it just isnt high on the priority list for us at the time. Great pics!

The D5 is a perfect size for him. He is retired so he gets out some only to "play". And to keep himself busy. He still has the older John Deere he used. But its saw a lot of action.

Our terraces are tall and plenty in a field. That field in the pictures has around 7. And its only around 30-40 acres. Large headers can't cut well in these fields. Even at 20ft you can start seeing effects of a poor cut.

I will get some more pictures in the next couple of days. Showing what all he did to fix them.
