Its all Central North island pumice and ash. Easy digging but is hard on the grousers of my dozer. Welding grouser bar on this winter is not a job I am looking forward to.
Got a couple of 10 acre blocks to put roads into, building platforms on same, improve the topography to entice horsey people to buy. Another road at the top of the farm to improve access and improve the potential to lease the better parts of the farm , general recontouring work as required to improve resale value of the flatter parts of the farm, some access tracks into our forest in preparation for future harvest.
Have put 1200 hours on our dozer over the years, and rented diggers when necessary, but looking at making the jump to owning one that will enable us to do stuff in the timeframe we want![]()
