The county I live doesn't maintain lots of roads...They provide signs for the road-name but attach "This road not maintained by X county". FTR: I also don't have garbage collection but pay for it through my property taxes :)
The way our deeds are set up - our property lines go to the middle of the road and there is a right-of-way easement that covers "my side" of the road...and the neighbor across the street owns up to my property line w/the same easement going back - thus making a road that is basically owned by the people that live along it. It's also stated that each owner is responsible for maintaining the road that is on their property.
I don't have a lot of choice about maintaining the road - if I don't it quickly becomes a 4wd only road. That wasn't a problem till my wife got a civic :)
One other odd issue w/my neighborhood - it was originally ALL PAVED. In fact - the section in front of my house still is....but that's about it - the rest of the road looks as if it never was. Out of fear and bickering over the years - No one maintained it and it just got worse and worse over the decades till now it's basically just a dirt road neightborhood with a few hundred feet of pavement in one area.
I did ask for opinions and I appreciate the input - The info and advice has given me pause about what direction to take. At this point, I don't know what I'll do in the long run....I will be getting a different tractor even if I just use it to maintain access to my property. What I do beyond that is still a question mark for me.

Safe trailering practices and inspections will ensure that the event is a fun one. A good habit to develop when using a trailer is to give that �quick look over� before taking it on a trip. Before hooking up to it check the tongue for proper operation. The latche
