Looks like you were having a blast! When I do steep sections of trail or firebreak, I like to install water bars to get the water off of the trail surface as quickly as possible to prevent erosion. There are quite a few good videos on RU-vid showing how to do this. Also, when planning a road / trail system, I like to start with a road around the perimeter that acts as a fire break and allows easy access to most areas of the property. Interior roads act as fire breaks as well, leaving different areas to be burned using prescribed fire on alternating years. 🔥
Having a nice accessible road that generally covers your property is key to specially in bigger plots! Makes things so much more convenient later down the road…Especially I’d you’re taking rigs back in it since there’s always the possibility you will need something much bigger to get something out lol
I should have bought a dozer and track ho instead of a house. That little case killed it! I think I’m gonna get one dropped off this weekend and give it a shot.
Trail blazing 101. Never say never is your motto I see. I would have given up way before that once I seen how far down that gully was. Loving the time lapse video. Glad to see you having fun and making it easier for you to get around your property. That looked like some awesome deer territory where you where putting in that new trail. Nice tree stand would work great right there on that little knoll above the trail I bet. Can you see about maybe cutting back on the volume of the music. It is quite loud in my hearing aids...lol Can't wait to see the final trail. Keep up the great job and stay safe on the tractor. Tom
Watching from Indiana. Was considering an eventual dozer rental from an Equipment Depot or Sunbelt. That Case looks like it's doing the job. You have some steep spots like my property!
Finally someone doing a realistic video! I see these guys doing other videos labeled clearing a trail or land and they are on a perfectly flat field 😂. This is more like what a person will have to deal with
Cat John Deere Kamatzu all have better features. Case equipment has a design flaw. In extreme hard pushing they have a hydraulic overload release. In overload it trips and you can't cut or push till the machine resets and it is very aggravating to deal with 😂😂😂 ! Overall they are good machines and are quieter to operate! There track group is very tough! But I will take any of the above mentioned machines over a Case !
I wish you didn't play music over this kind of footage. Most of us want to hear the dozer and the blade cutting. It's your video, do what you like. Just putting in my opinion.
How about clear cutting forests for solar panels, that require major mining operations to build the panels, that require roads to be built to access, using an tin of fossil fuels, in which the panels will be toxic waste in 20 years and tossed in a landfill…..sjef?
