I had a few in a pond that were undermining a smaller diameter corrugated steel culvert pipe. They don't seem to be nearly as numerous as woodchuck, so when they were a problem, might have been just a pair and that was it. Pipe was since changed out and the culvert improved they nor beaver are a concern. I had an opportune time to grab one of these muskrats, that was tunneling along the pipe. I kept running him in and out of the culvert pipe, he finally made a run for it, swimming against the current. I planted one foot and swiftly reached into the water and got him by the back. Clenched a little too good, I was really not so sure how strong they were, and that did not end well on his end. They make holes near the pond, not good for livestock or a persons leg, but since there are no livestock, I walk around the swiss cheese area, and watch them from my stand, they come right up the small stream and feed right in front of my stand.
In the adjacent large pond, there are beaver, and every so often, one will come all the way across and re-engineer the drainage, every so many feet, build retention ponds, and small dams in numerous places along the way to that culvert from the small pond. I cleared them all by hand when the water was really running. They usually don't come back when I do this, takes a long while at least when they do, might be 10 years since the last time.

If it would just start when I turn the key, then I would use it more often. In addition to a bad case of old age, most of the tractor's original electrical system was simply too unreliable to keep. The main focus of this page is to show how I upgr
