Didn't a right of way agent or some entity notify you of the work going to be done, well in advance ? The power company here will always do that and most times I meet with someone long before any work starts. They use Asplundh for right away forestry work, and they always do a great job. I've known the crew that works this section for years.
They just completed adding a tower to raise up 115,000 volt lines, and had placed crane mats for a road and to work from. I happened to run into the 2 field guys scouting out the upcoming work and spoke to them about it. The power company sent a letter, and although it was mainly to cover their backside, it was to confirm there was no agricultural activity in the field they were working in. I just keep it mowed since the farmer passed away and no longer plants crops there.
They rutted up the road something terrible, but I knew they would fix it, they did, but the surface is not graded like it was, so I 'll have to do that with the backhoe front loader scrape it and level it better. But the soft areas, were just thick topsoil, that graded out just fine. It's the people that make a difference and aside from some very minor, not worth mentioning things, they did a fine job and were respectful of my land that they had to cross to get to the work area. 13 years back they added a line and the line crew were a bunch of yahoos to say the least, with production their main focus. However when Asplundh came through for restoration, they put in 2 gates and a culvert pipe, not to mention all the crusher run for the road they put in for access. I have heard the opposite of good things, but when they are around I make sure to meet with them if at all possible, it makes a difference if a landowner makes their presence known vs waiting to see what happens.

Today's Featured Article - Timing Your Magneto Ignition Tractor - by Chris Pratt. If you have done major engine work or restored your tractor, chances are you removed the magneto and spark plug wires and eventually reached the point where you had to put it all back together and make it run. On our first cosmetic restoration, not having a manual, we carefully marked the wires, taped the magneto in the position it came off, and were careful not to turn the engine over while we had these components off. We thought we could get by with this since the engine ran perfectly and would not need any internal work. After the cleanup and painting was done, we began reassembly and finally came to t
