Just posted a video to my RU-vid channel of my 1 ton excavator paired up with a TMK150 tree sheer. Crazy how well it worked for clearing trees!

Love it when you both say Excavator and when you use it... You have become really good operator!

Just so you know….. the mini excavator applies less ground pressure to the soil than your tractor because the tracks spread out the weight over a much larger area than your tractor tires…. The mini ex would be considered an LGP low ground pressure machine while the tractor with tires is not. FYI.

Pile and burn saves alot of work.

@GoodWorksTractors sells a rake to put on the back of your tractor. It would collect all of the needles and branches. Nice work so far. Thanks for sharing.

I noticed that the props/stays you used against the gate posts are too short and too close to the ground. They will act like a lever and eventually lift the posts out of the ground, as the wire is strained. They should be 2/3rds the height of the post and at least 12 feet long to transfer the load into the ground away from the post.

Man, that thing is tough! I sure can't dig stumps out like that with the BX... One day...

U can get a good backhoe for ur Kubota tractor if u wanted

I have an old KX71 for years with about 6000 hrs on it now and as much experience. Long pointed Rock teeth with a thumb on a 24" bucket is the best combo for maximizing the potential for this machine. Stock teeth suck.

Yes bro, buy a dump trailer, it would be a great project/investmen

Can I be effective without a thumb on the mini?

Dump trailers are handy

There were more stumps and roots than one would have guessed. You got a lot accomplished. Once you get it out, or in a dumb trailer it will be so much clearer and cleaner. Go home, Deb is waiting

Yes sir great job , I invested in a moritz 7x14 dump trailer . It has 2 7k axels and an 8 inch I beam frame . Pricey at 13k but damn you won’t regret it

Im just down the road from y’all with a nearly identical situation, 20 acres planted in 6/7 y/o pines and overgrown scrub brush. I’m building my homestead there but I don’t have any equipment other than my truck and a chainsaw. Y’all wanna come over and give me a hand lol

for the amount of energy - time - money - damage to other roots - you could have hired - rented a stump grinder after you cut the stumps off at the ground level - I did both - I know -- i ended up busting a 24in new bucket completely to pieces - Just saying -

Just came over to check out your channel. Big fan of Brocks channel (Rockhill Farm). Brock mentioned you so i figured i would give ya a sub..
