Clearing for an Equipment Storage Yard! 

Great idea #bob cambell

How much equipment does Matt have? Yes, the answer is yes. Is a lot of it old, crusty, and a bit rusty? Also yes, does it all work? Probably.

If there ever is a time Matt doesn't have anything else to make a video on, that would be a great filler. But as he said, making this one "provided the opportunity" to make three more.

Sure You See Machinery And You Think It Cant All Be Ritchie Bros Or The Shell Cracker Plant End Of The Day Its Their Business What You See Or Not

Great idea only problem is Matt’s wife will find out exactly what he’s hoarding / sorry collecting

Indeed I am, that’s something I’ve been wanting to do but hadn’t considered videoing it. Maybe just the ticket!

man i want some full size tonka toys

As a long time Heavy Equipment Operator / Diesel Mechanic. It's very had to teach it. Seat time & feel of each Equipment is the trick. Each Equipment got its own feel. You can get in 2 Excavators brand new same time serial # be like 00001 & 00002 and they will have different feels of the operating. I seen some people do it with amazing operating skills. I seen some people no matter how much seat time & training they lucky to rate at average Operator at most. As 63 year old man. To this day every once in while head Foreman ask myself jump in Rock Truck & show them young employees just how to haul Rock. After few hours I lap the whole fleet them young boys get embarrassed & speed up. Yes I spin them 360 around sometimes mainly road unexpectedly watered little too heavy. I still think Rock Trucks are fun to run. Moving the most Material daily safely is the difference between a successful mine or mine shut down everybody go job hunting.

Wow thanks a ton!

Back when I was younger, I did that every year. Had all the big toys.

Tidying a mountain.

from my point of view there are 2 types of operators; 1; working clean, thinking before digging. at the start of a job it is usually a bit slower but will make up time along the project. And the other type operator is making a mess but getting it done fast. atleast; fast at the start but after a while getting slowed down by his own mess

Thanks 👍

@@user-bu2mn8do6v I have found that the current influx of college educated lads turn their nose up at manual work. If they can't do it by pressing a few buttons on their iPhones, they don't want to know. I passed a shovel onto one guy, in the hope he would help move some gravel, he held onto it for 3 seconds before passing it to someone else..

@@hiscifi2986 Weird. Like. I am one of those college educated "lads"....the real button busher type. Electrical engineer. Used to work as a part time machinist and mechanic ages 18-28. I am so glad these days to use my muscles instead of my brain and get some sweet time to rest that brain and just sweep the yard and forge some christmas decor and do some fabbing and fix a bike. Paperwork and button pushing have a terrible toll on mental sanity. Neet to get a bigger shop and some machine tools so i can use those skills again...

@@Zonkotron gotta keep that mental to physical exertion balanced! too much effort one way or the other creates drudgery!

I used wedges on a few trees there. I’ve also cut my leg pretty good before with the saw, I would do it again before I wear those stupid chaps. Those things are hateful

I’m a retired medic that worked in the PNW. I’ve seen plenty saw injuries during my career. The Chainsaw never loses. If chaps aren’t gonna be option and you work mostly by yourself, make sure you can get your belt off and made into a tourniquet quickly, and have your cell phone on your person to call for help.

Watching that part I was thinking "If you wear glasses at all times EXCEPT when you're using a chainsaw, you might be a redneck". Only teasing, Matt. It is fairly obvious that you know what you're doing. But I have been enjoying your videos since I started watching the workshop build and I'd really like you to be able to continue making them. Take care!

​@@highrxmy father worked chainsaws all his life and was very experienced yet he cut himself a couple of times, he wasn't wearing PPE as yrs ago it was never used, but them things are so dangerous.

Thanks!!

I found out his channel when he was at the beginning of the Church Restoration. It's been a while since ! He was kind enough to answer my questions about american culture back then. Very down to earth. Keep up the good work !

@@tomjoad1363 it was the church restoration that lead me to here, but I stayed for his attitude, and variety of projects 😊

@@almostanengineer LMAO!!! He's come a long way from when this channel was him fixing lawnmowers in his garage and doing dump truck shade tree work in the driveway! In some ways I miss that because I learned things I might use on home projects. Now, it's so far from anything I'll ever do.

I found his channel when he bought the clark huge weel loader a little late but not to late

Or a belt from any large conveyor.

I know a guy who used conveyor belts to park his camper trailer and car trailer on them.

Sounds like Smurfit Stone. I had asked for a piece of belt from the plant close to me and was also one of my customers. It was all cleared until the plant began to shut down. Nothing went out without corporate ok.

he has a wood mill now and lots of trees.. he most likely will just cut some 3 by what ever to line the floor for tracks.. i bought the wood never regrated it..

Crusher belts or saw mill they all do the same job.

Not everything but definitely a big help.

Not a bad idea at all, I saw once a tree planting trailer for trucks, would be hilarious of Matt bought one for cheap to fix it up and use it to relocate the trees.

Yes, some evergreens like pines would be nice .

yer he can send me some of the rideons to me lol

10 Cub cadets become 3 working mowers with parts.

@@KipdoesStuff please those old cubs probably will all run with new carbs and maybe a few parts. It’s amazing how those hold up.

Matt has a strong history with Cub Cadets. I would expect the hord to grow!

And what was coming up the lane in the enclosed trailer?

I love that reply, it will start out as mini Richie Bros.

Thank you!!

Not plenty if he cant get it to pivot on its tracks

@@liljjbo17 if you knew anything about plant machinery you’d know that you don’t pivot on the tracks of a 360 without lifting the weight off first

@@liljjbo17 And ruin his packed surface?

To me the engine sounds like it has a miss under load

@@liljjbo17 yep, tear up everything under the machine, nope.

Before winter 🤷🏼‍♂️

Glad you like them!

​@@DieselCreek Just watching chris @lets dig 18 helping his friend Scott at Southern homestead transformations for a few days & chris was running Scott's kobelco the same as yours & your video just popped up here at 5pm & I thought damn chris is posting early today 😂😂

[Stepbrothers voice]"So much more room for activities!"[/Stebrothers voice]

Room to buy much bigger things at the auction....

Thanks, will do!

I’ve got over 20, they are cheap and plentiful here

have to get the new fill in to soften the slope first.
