Culling bamboo that way, will only make it spread.. thats the lazy man's way.. doing it by hand, at 5 foot (height) and then to the ground two weeks later; is how you cull bamboo, and keep it culled!!
MAN! That's a lot of bamboo! I'm here up north, and my bamboo gets up to maybe 6' or 7' before the winter season stops the growth cycle and kills the existing stalks. Rinse, repeat, and the cycle starts all over again next year. Although, every year those horizontal root systems are spreading to other areas if left unchecked. These things are a pain in the grass.
I had a roadhouse in Baltimore, we had a 60+ 2 truck sugar maple in the back yard 40+ yrs old . Called a local small company I'd seen in my community. Mind you, this monster was 12 ft behind my house. I figured it was a big problem. The young ones came by ,looked it over, said " yeah, no Problem, we' ll use it as a fiil in job. " $600. Bucks, with stump grind out. I was shocked!! I figured a couple of Thousand! I worked nights, they came by one day, brought their truck I chipper down the alley, guy climbed up,got started . 40,not 45 minutes! Later that monster was Gone!! Yard raked clean!! I still can't believe how Fast a Pro Crew, didn't blink an eye!! Gone!!! Gave him and crew an extra $110. For Lunch!!!!
I’ve been in the stump grinding and tree business for 30 years, i use nothing but Vermeer 70 hp and above machinery those little bitty stumps would not take about 10 seconds apiece with a real grinder. I’ve had those skid steer attachment people come out and try to tell me they are better than what I use and I always tell them bring it on out for a demo I’ll have two stumps set up and we’ll see. The little young guyBobcat saw me do mine first and he said there’s no reason even unloading mine 😀 But like you said in about three minutes into the video these are not near as good as a tree stump grinder. They will just do in a bind.
20:43 you can clearly see the grinder hit the back of the shed putting marks on it from the teeth. I would have passed on that stump Because of the location, the bees and the rocks. That should have been a no, cant do it.
8:23 i don't own one, but its hydrlics that drive the motor, i belive speed is a key to keep the blade moving Faster means more wood removed Now lower how deep your cut is in a pass. I cant see how running full pressure would be a problem. Maybe next time you buy a tool read the operating instruction.
It doesn’t have a case drain, so it most likely a low flow motor, as long as the gpm is matched to the motor it should last at least a few hundred hours.
That’s such a badass intro with the clips of workers brushing off their hunting snow pants. Like that’s what men do!! Brushing off tha daaaamn dirt caaause imma dirty haaaard workin man! Just look at me! Manly. I’m so manly.
not used optimally by someone who said repeatedly this is his first time using it and he's figuring it out. I think they made a christmas movie about you jack. go find someone to give you a hug.
Very impressive. I have been removing about a 4x4 foot clump of bamboo by hand and it is so challenging to dig out the roots! You have a great crew and it is humbling to see how positive they are in the midst of such physically demanding the work. I appreciate how dedicated they are to keeping each other safe during such dangerous work! Very well done!!
Nice work ..I would have used a Mini Skid steer to, bring the posts to the path. Its alot of work hand bombing the posts. Also I would have used Re- bar to anchor the posts to the ground. I have cut the Re Bar 24 inches long. This would hold better just saying !!
Pulling down the tree. I would have tied the rope on the back side of the tree...and pulled it down in the same location. Why? Because if the branch were to break...you would have "less weight" on the direction that you do not want the tree to fall. You could also tie the rope to both sides to share the pull load...less chance of breaking either branch. Nice job.
It works fine. It seems like that attachment needs its own *lateral control* (in and out) or *hinged radius movement/cylinder* so you're *not* having to roll/move the *whole machine* back and forth. It seems *that* would give it much more *fine control* without bogging down ;-)
I have the same grinder and have learned a few things about it. It's only designed to be dragged through the stump not pushed through. There are pins you can take out so it can kinda float through the stump. It's not supposed to be solid mounted while you are pulling it through the stump. You figured out the starting on the right side of the stump.. nice work.. When those finger style teeth get trashed and bent over ect you can replace them with Rayco style teeth. They are a huge improvement!!
first time viewer: I enjoyed watching the work being done to clear the lot. I would prefer no music, much less pointing and explaining the work to be done, less video of inside truck cab. The part that was sped up was way too fast, it made me dizzy. I hope this is helpful input.
3 more years, they are back. You need to dig both main root and running roots out. Otherwise every 3 years, you're gonna spend couple thousands dollar to do this?
