Clearing the Way: Land Management with the John Deere Skid Steer
The John Deere 325G skid steer gets the job done. From clearing trees and hauling debris to building burn piles, it’s a tool Shon relies on to keep The Essex Ranch running smoothly. In this project, Shon used the skid steer to tackle a big cleanup, moving logs and clearing brush to make the land ready for what’s next.

Dropping a load of debris into the burn pile, the John Deere skid steer handles the heavy lifting with ease. It’s built to get the job done, plain and simple.

Where Iron Meets Earth.
From overgrown brush to wide open views, this is the behind-the-scenes grit of land management at The Essex Ranch. Shon’s in the seat, the mulcher’s chewing through chaos, and the land is answering back. Big machines. Bigger results. No filters—just horsepower and hard work.
Shon in action—pulling the water hauler with the Polaris Ranger, a key part of our fire protection plan, then wrapping up the day by power washing the John Deere skid steer. Just another day of keeping the land (and equipment) in top shape.

The guys have been putting in serious work, and the growing piles of cleared trees are proof. This is what it looks like when muscle meets machine—and the land gets tamed one pass at a time.
