As a small buisness owner and forest land property owner, the cost
of equipment to smog my L-35 back hoe would not be cost efficent
for number of hours used annually. As it stands now, cost of fuel
and repair parts (tires.pins, bearings) and other normal wear
parts for a primarily private use tractor is becoming exorbitant.
State mandated fire prevention regulations require property has
fire safe boundries around dwellings and access to same. To
maintain a property in excess of 25 acers requires mechanical
abillity to clear and remove underbrush and fire fuel. For the
above reasons, and the additional cost of compling with this
regulation, I believe this would be detrimental to private forrest
management.
