Foster Contracting

Prep your fence lines now so you can hit the “easy” button in the spring. Spend your time fixing your fence instead of fighting to get to it with freshly cleared minimum 6 foot access width.

Another mild transformation on an unused farm yard that was becoming difficult to even walk through. This is a work in progress with step one being clearing out the tree growth without tearing up the ground so there’s room to work. Lots of mulch on the ground that will be easily scraped up and removed with the bucket at a later date.

I used to have my contact information listed on this page and would receive approximately 5-6 scam emails per day and 8-10 scam phone calls per week. Even after I temporarily moved my page to inactive for 4-6 weeks the scam emails and phone calls persisted.

I recently removed my email and phone number from being listed on the page and now have a picture of my business card pinned to the top of the page.

Within a week of doing this all scam emails and phone calls have stopped. I can now focus on legitimate customers, although some of the scam emails were definitely entertaining to read at the very least.

Literally back to the grind of clearing fence lines

09/09/2025

Say hello to my “little friend” 🤣

We bought a small used skid steer (60hp) and new mulcher head (60” working width) for a specific contract that was extremely limited on machine size and weight. I didn’t want wheels but tracks add approximately 2000lbs in weight so we had to go with wheels to lower the weight as much as possible. It’s literally half the weight of the machines we were previously using, so there are plans to modify it for use in marshes where light weight and low ground pressure are a must.

After taking care of a few minor issues it’s ready to get to work and is already booked for this week.

It’s capable of mulching smaller material and trees up to 6” diameter, so most fence lines and other areas can be cleared. Unfortunately with wheels it doesn’t have the floatation of tracks so mud and soft ground will limit it’s ability to access some areas.

Hopefully we’ll have a larger track machine back again next year, but this is it for now. Plus we still have the excavator and brush cutter available for applications that are unsuitable for this little ripper.

We still have the stump grinder so we’ll continue to offer that service on a limited basis until it’s sold.

Call for pricing and availability.

Tick tock we’re almost ready to roll into a new season. We’ll have some new equipment coming in soon so be sure to check in regularly. Of course our new 2024 Cat 306 excavator is ready anytime with 18” toothed and 48” smooth buckets, and the 42” brush cutter/mulcher.

After a multitude of delays; including working full time, having a knee that decided to implode and be swollen like a soft ball for over a month, I finally have a transmission again.

New input shaft, new main shaft and all new bearings. All the bearings were bad so it was only a matter of time before they failed, as the chunkies in the bottom of the case will tell you.

Now if I can only find the time to install it 🙄

I’m no transmission expert but I’m pretty sure that’s why the truck stopped moving 🧐

Not even December yet and there’s some deep snow drifts to get through.
