@GORT70 • The Government controls what each and every Farmer grows each year , the Farmer must buy seed From the Government to Plant the following year , The Farmer does NOT use his left over seed from last year ! If he doesn't , he will lose farm Loans , subsidies and other things , Then this same Government sends your Pay check Tax dollars to Ukraine, But hey it was only 325 million dollars , Then your Government wants to send money to Israel , but hey It's only 105 Billion this time . And at the same time , your Taxes go up to pay for your local schools, roads , and infrastructure , Then this same Government wants to violate your Constitutional Rights by telling you what to do and when to do it . I planted 10 bamboo trees, 3 Apple trees , 2 persimmon trees , and multiple Red Cedar trees . And I'm building 2 Wind Turbines . What have you been doing besides complaining ?
Yes but did you know they are powered by internal combustion engines, usually fuelled by diesel oil, or sometimes by petrol. This fuel is kept in a container fixed to the bulldozer and is known as a fuel tank. Need i go on, grrrrrrrrrrr.
@@donkraus1991The problem with that idea is that men almost exclusively operate bulldozers, and they would have no interest in the project. If intersex people were into heavy construction and mining equipment, you'd have a viable idea.
The biggest issue I have run into in central and west Texas is they destroy EVERYTHING. As a surveyor, they are the bane of my existence. You see, back in the 1800's when the land was first surveyed, the surveyors used to pile rocks on top of each other to create a stone mound intended as a marker for a patented corner. Enter the dozer/chain combo, exit the stone mounds or rock mounds used to first establish boundary corners as the chain comes along and wipes them out. If you are a land owner and considering this option, please get a survey done FIRST so that we can put the corners back in when your done demolishing them.
They were also ineffective in long term control of central and west Texas brush as mesquite, red juniper, prickly pear etc. are tough to kill and they just re-sprout. So then you have a knocked over mess that continues to regrow.
To be honest, first time I’ve ever seen this in use. It looks like utter devastation. I’m surprised the Russians didn’t use this in Ukraine or indeed the Israelis in the Gaza Strip. No doubt a method favoured in Brazil , Malaysia,Indonesia, etc..
Yeah and now you have GPS and satellites, and drones and computers to do everything for you!!!! Stop complaining unless you have cleared trees and land before!!!!
@@paulmcgreevy3011I agree with you, there is an even more efficient way if you are not in a hurry. Overgraze it with cattle, they will stomp all the shrubs and saplings, leave fertalizer, then people can harvest the individual trees. Any large bovine has a tendancy to create grasslands.
Hi, Yes this is not a new technique. My father was using this when he worked on the UK’s infamous Groundnut scheme in 1947/1948. It was used for clearing bush in Tanganyika (now Tanzania). They added a huge steel ball in the middle to prevent the anchor chain riding up the trees. There were burocratic delays procuring the anchor chains. As this was a Government project, the Uk administrators could not understand why ships anchor chains were needed in the middle of AFRICA!
Yeah, I too have been using giant ship anchor chains to clear trees off of sizable tracts of wooded land. Except, I don't use a bulldozer. I just grab each end of the anchor with my hands, and I start walking steadily backwards until all the trees are flattened .... 😉👍
Yeah, but a bulldozer is pulling it so would need to go through the minefield first... They have whacking great bulldozers with a spinning drum on the front with balls and chains on it. That clears them and is in front of the dozer. Armour plates behind the spinning drum.
In the western U.S. they call the chain drag method 'range land improvement'. It's done specifically to make running cattle on public lands more profitable. So it is about food and helping out the already subsidized cattle ranchers making steak and turning our shared land into Mordor with cow patties.
A question i have about doing this is removing the tree, also removes the nutrents from the soil, however if the contents are mulched into small parts then they break down fast by the microbs in the soil causing the nutrents to go back into the soil add better drainage and airation to the soil setting up a better environment for any crops to be planted. At harvest time plant materials are tiled back into the soil where the plant grew only the usable crop was taken away the materials left to decay break down into stuff microbs can use and provide nitrogen for new plants to take up. If you remove everything then you make your soil weaker. Thats why cover crops like clover are planted and tilled in. They build the soil ablity to support new plants.
They did this 70 years ago in Austrailia and now the land is barren salty wasteland where nothing grow's. The old man who did this was in tears, saying he did not realise the damage he was doing .He was a firewood merchant and made a fortune.
@@ToeTag1968 Old growth trees cant be re planted, they have a symbiotic relationship with fungus in the ground that takes hundreds maybe thousands of years to develop - look up "The WOOD WIDE WEB - how trees talk to each other!"
@@godhammer666 No shit. My comment was regarding the alarming rate at which the trees can be cleared....not that this occurs or not. My apologies for getting you excited.
My father used this technique in the 70's to clear land for a paper mill here in Alabama. It is very effective when clearing large tracks of land in a hurry. I think today the preferred method would be to allow loggers to come in and cut the timber.
@farwindow The ocean captures twice as much carbon dioxide as previously thought. About 28% of the oxygen comes from trees, the other 72% comes from plant life in the ocean. A minuscule marine plant called phytoplankton alone is responsible for 50% of Earth's oxygen.
I do agree with that statement we desperately need better farming practices pretaining to tacking care of the forests that are left because the trees remove the carbon dexiode
Thebworld's oceans are a significant source of oxygen production. Phytoplankton and algae in the ocean are responsible for producing a substantial portion of the Earth's oxygen through photosynthesis. While trees are often called the "lungs of the Earth," the oceans also play a crucial role in oxygen production. This marine photosynthesis makes the ocean a major contributor to global oxygen levels.
I agree. We must fertilise the oceans to increase Phytoplankton and Algae growth. All ocean life depends on these organisms, and they are great for carbon capture. As, when they die, they sink to the ocean bed, and they do not burn down like trees. We keep taking food from the oceans but give back nothing in return. We dam up rivers and estuaries preventing silt and nutrients from entering the ocean ecosystem. All this seems to be ignored because who owns the oceans? Who is responsible?
Cleared thousands of acres like this. We would then rake the timber in to wind-rows and progressively burn the stacks of timber down until all timber was gone, which meant that ALL soil was left behind as well as any charcoal and ash. There was never any residue to be seen when we were finished. Also any valuable timber was pushed aside to be removed and any pieces of the tree remaining would end up in the wind-rows. When very big timber was required to be cleared, we had the option of having a third machine follow the chain and push any tree over that was hanging up the chain. Some of the cleared land was for agricultural use, some for cattle.; The land to be used for cattle would be seeded after the timber was burnt, and the seeds would have the fire residue to assist in germination. In brigalow country, the land would regenerate about every five years, needing to be cleared again.
It’s funny how man destroys the very plant that breathes in what we breath out and breathes out what we breathe in to live yet we destroy millions of acres of it
😂 Mother Nature destroys more trees than man does. How many months an acres of in Canada, Hawaii, California have burned out of control from lightning strikes 🤷🏻♂️😉😉😂 I sure hope you don’t have a single piece of wood in your home.
@@kevink4914 What are you? some kind of digital Paul Bunyon? Those disasters were the direct result of our reliance on carbon based energy. And there's more to come.
Trees are renewable. The cobalt used in lithium batteries is not. Millions of trees are planted every year just like wheat or corn or potatoes or any other crop. If you want to worry go right ahead but trees are doing just fine so you’ll want to look elsewhere.
@@metricdeep8856 The more efficient a corporation is, the cheaper every product you buy is. I imagine you enjoy shopping for food at the supermarket, but you could always plow your own fields with a mule if that is too efficient for you.
@@darthnatas953 The more efficient a Corp is, the more profit for the shareholders. Profit comes from consumers pockets, not efficiency. That went decades ago.
@metricdeep88564 outta 5 new businesses fail. EVERY advance we enjoy started from a desire for profit. No one forces us to trade if we don't like a price, but our own "greed" for many desirable products makes us spend more money than we like to. Walk away if u don't want someone rewarded for risking THEIR capital.
It was used for clearing bush in Tanganyika (now Tanzania). They added a huge steel ball in the middle to prevent the anchor chain riding up the trees.
I am absolutely disgusted by how easy it is to destroy a forest... I'm all in flavor of efficiency and technological advancements... and farming is essential to human survival but when you eliminate forests you eliminate any possibility in that location of the diversity that allows different creatures (plant, animal, and human) to survive and hopefully thrive.
My grandfather had this method of land management done on his ranch in central Texas 60 years ago--this is nothing new. Converted brush land so thick that you couldn’t walk through it to natural grassland. All the sporadic oak trees were left to provide shade for livestock. This 1200 acres produced 5000 to 6000 calves plus supported the momma cows over 6 decades. No farming ever on this property. Very productive.
Maleza para el pastoreo????no ven como desaparece el bosque con esas maquinaria ????que tienen dentro del cráneo que opinan sobres la máquinas ,,,se dan cuenta en el vídeo como desaparecen los bosques ??? Pretendemos plantar árboles en otros planeta mientras humano dañino destructor malvado destruye la naturaleza me da lástima de los que opinan así pobres de mente
*For those who criticize:* _I suggest they buy farms and land and try to survive on them... They will change their opinion quickly, even the speech will be different, in favor of traditional agricultural practices._ *Talking behind a notebook or smartphone in the comfort of your luxurious apartments or mansions in large cities is very easy;* _I want to see him give speeches while owning farms and working hard in agriculture, trying to make money, at least to pay employees and creditors and banks._
Bayer fan boy!. It takes more fertilizer and pesticides than ever for modern agriculture. It's like no one is allowed to criticize it without getting "don't you know where your food comes from this is how it's done" farming done like this causes the problem and its only going to take more and more land and be less efficient.
Climate isn't going to destroy the earth God is. He says he will when he comes ba k for his people and to rid this world of sin once and for all. Repent now before its too late. God doesn't lie
People already suffering from the consequences of climate change across the planet, but you stick with your bonkers big boat, sky fairy nonsense my friend 👍.
@harrismagoon4622 Chain is towed in on flatbeds, getting loaded by an excavator or large skid steer and is laid in serpents. On the Job side vice versa and same machine will help attach to first dozer. That dozer pulls the Chain around the brush in a loop. Then the second Dozer is attached to the other end.
Better ship loads of this stuff or the drawings of them to the Ukes. Need to put some ahead of the dozer to clear mines with the roller equipped with fins.
Wow... in Europe and America this technique has been around since the 1940s. opening up large tracts of land for industrial agriculture. So why now, on the grounds of climate change, are they campaigning to restrict us in Indonesia from clearing agricultural land on our land? we have to because we have a lot of people to feed. The current changing climate is the result of your work in the past... you should know, we really care about sustainability. We are leaving more land for conservation, are you doing this too?
@@realaussiemale567 There are specialized tanks with armored rake/plows on them for that very purpose. All you'd have to do is manually clear the 2 bulldozer paths with mine detectors then drag the big ass chain across the ground between them. It could miss a few of them (around big rocks and trees?), but would certainly set off any that the chain actually touched. So you drag it twice.
Why do you choose to live in fear by embracing the silliness of the "climate change" narrative? Set yourself free, abandon such foolishness and be happy.
@@robertwillis4061 Better to build wind farms in places that are obviously windy, but which are ALSO inhospitable especially for forests! do you agree?
What is missing from the North Pole and the South Pole along with the deserts? Trees! Are people and animals still able to breathe there? Yes! Why? Because the oceans generate around 90% of the worlds oxygen. Sunlight and the microbes on the surface of the water is what creates oxygen!
For all of the people crying about deforestation, trees easily grow back. The ocean, lakes and rivers do the exact same thing that trees do, as far as CO² and O concerned. Focus your whining on those. Go clean a beach! Gez!
A most bizarre video showing machines (done like an ad for the company) that can clear a rain forest and at the end discussing how bad for the environment land clearing is.
@@LordGizmo It's all good. I just found that the high praise for anchor chain mass clearing juxtaposed to the harmful effects for doing so was interesting especially because it sounded like an ad for the machine company.
With more and more mouths to feed and millions and millions of people going to bed hungry it’s important to get rid of this raggy useless bush and plant proper trees or plants for food.
Gotta clear all those pesky trees and produce paper bags to carry everything we buy at the grocery store packaged in plastic rather than plastic bags to save the environment. Wait, what?
Oxygen doesn't really come from trees in any large form to actually make a difference for your breathing almost all of the oxygen you breathe comes from the ocean from phytoplankton
If I remember correctly, the Hungry Horse Reservoir area was cleared with the chains and they also had huge iron balls every few yards apart that rolled along with the chain. In the late 80's you could see iron balls about 7 to 8 feet tall maybe.
Мне интересно а чем мы дышать будем? Покупать воздух? Кадры из старых фантостических фильмов становятся реальны. Хотя хорошей питьевой воды уже лет 20 как нет. Только пить очисценую покупную😢
The King Ranch in south Texas has been doing this for years in a desparate attempt to curb the glut of mesquite trees, which are not indigenous to Texas but rather come from central America! Clearing out mesquites to make pasture land for cattle makes good sense!!
