ya tayz the best way to dry out a muddy track is to git the standing water out and chizleplow it. you want to git the dirt loose and air in it after you do that and it drys out i wold change any areas to slope away frome your trackif you can. like build your burms up higer and have razed paths with drain tile or somthing to remove the water bureyed about 3 feet deep. its best to lokate your track ontop of a hill or the side but not steep hills unles you want it on the side of the hill

hopfuly after we git your track built this sumer i can build a almost alll natural turane track at the farm. there should be a prity good crick jump ill have to be able to mow most of it with the lawnmower but that shouldnt be a problem with it. the bigest problem is going to be not scaring the catle. hopfuly we can lock them in the west side of the pasture most of the time.

ya our farm has dikes and lots of sloping turane. i think ht ebest jump will be the one over the crick. the cric is about 5 foot but one side has a 4 foot bank with a 2 footknole ontpop of it. manly what i have to do is move rocks and cut out some paths trugh the woods.and mabey even put a path trugh one of the swamps that is man made.ill see if i can post a map of our farm and then another with the trales labeled on it.
