Now I'm really veering off the path of "old tractors", but I could rant and rave for hours about what I've gone through with the power company. I gave them permission to build a "one time" use access road through my property for a major high-line upgrade. They did just about nothing that they promised - but they did manage to cut off a tractor road between two fields (there - I managed to fit a tractor into this). One day I found a huge all-terrain vehicle with a crane on it, laying upside down at the side of one of my fields. It had a company name on it from Québec, Canada - not Niagara Mohawk (the power company). I called the power company - and they told me I should chase down the Canadian company - and not the power company. And, like a d*mn fool, I replied "but YOU are the people I gave permission too . . ." I got nowhere, and finally chained the machine to one of my tractors, and then chained the access road. The power company called - first the State Police, and then brought in their own security team. The police admitted to me that they could do nothing since it's my property, i.e. a "civil matter." Then the power company security people came, claimed they'd cut the lock off the chains - and I said "go ahead and this time - I'll call the state police." By the time we got done, I made them pay me $1000 damage - in cash - no checks - and then let them out. The process took three days. The money actually was handed to me by a representitive of the Canadian company that was working for the power company.
Since then, I've been cursed with four-wheelers, hunters, snowmobilers, etc. breaking into the gate. Even found some old drunk with a four-wheel drive truck in there one night - he had half landed in my swamp and got stuck, also had a half-naked young girl with him. Had I been smart, I'd brought my dozer up and pushed him the rest of way into the swamp. He told me that he thought my fields on top of the mountain were "town roads."
And - about the subject of selling off United States names and interests . . . my power company - the former Niagra Mohawk and now called National Grid - is godd*m British owned ! It's the American Revolution in reverse! It's bad enough with all our manufacturing going to China - but now I'm finding French-Canadians in my backyard - screwing up my fields and roads - and sent there by the British Redcoats.
