What did you shoot him with? For some reason I imagine you pulling a 9mm on him loaded with federal HST and it gives me a chuckle.
I don’t envy you guys with ground hogs..

research best 3pt implement for grading and get a million answers… I have a box blade which I’ll use for more intensive grading but I need something to smooth out this incline where I’m going to plant. It just has some low spots/divets, etc. I could back track with FEL but I really wanna be lazy and get a nice finish… I need something where I can bring in some dirt, pull it and it’ll fill in all these low spots. I haven’t used my box blade yet but it doesn’t seem ideal for this. Lots of people recommended landscape rakes… Some people recommending land planes. Any suggestions on an implement? The hard part about a box blade is that it’s on an incline..
Should I just give the box blade a try? I really don’t want to make this worse.

See that light area? That's the prairie dog town on google earth. It's a different color because they keep the grass in that area basically chewed down to bare dirt. That spot is roughly 40 acres but I bet that the spot is 50% bigger now since this imagery is from 2016.
Here's a zoomed in version. Probably not many rodents can say that their work is visible from space.

I don't have one, the one feature I wanted that I didn't do at purchase. With certain types of implements it can be a nice feature to have. It's on the list.

I have one on order but I’m realizing I didn’t do near enough research into the setup… I’m honestly a bit burned out from all the learning of homesteading the past year. It’s fun and I love it but just wanna chill… Anyways trying to figure out if I need rear remotes, float valves etc. My main purpose will be for grading and from my preliminary research earlier today it seems like float valve could be ideal for this.

Top link is not normally "floated" as far as I'm aware. THe remote valves will likely not be able to without replacement.

Gotcha. I have like 10 open tabs from earlier to do research on this. I’ll get back to you with my findings. It seems a lot of people have issues with oem Kubota valves leaking…

Just be careful about 3rd party stuff. Kubota does sell a Top N Tilt set up for a decent part of their line up. Be mindful that a top N tilt gives you another control that can do damage to tractor and implement that wouldn't happen with manual adjustments.
To your earlier posts I do think that the box blade is the most versatile of the spreading/lvling tools. THe specialized implements can do different parts better but if you have just one, then the box blade is pretty much the go to. Tractor time with Tim, outdoor with the morgans etc have some good videos about doing that type work.

Guy came out to quote me for alarm and camera for the house. He went around back to see the back of the house and was like "that's a pretty good damned big fence. How big is the back yard?" I told him just under half an acre. "That's a lot of fence". I like my privacy. He laughed.
Maybe I will start referring to this as my compound.

Hopefully that's a local alarm/camera company that mostly focuses on camera sales/installs. Since monitored alarms are next to worthless and the cameras that companies like ADT sell are probably multiple generations behind.
Unless you are planning on inside and outside cameras where the monitoring company can verify an intruder, the police put alarm calls as lowest priority where they get there when they get there. Last study I saw analyzing security alarm calls, they said that false alarms were responsible for wasting some silly amount of taxpayer money.
