Aside from a great job done, I love your video. You got the perfect mix of real time and timelapse, wide angle and closeup shots and the initial driveway sketch and explanations made it great to understand what you were going to do and why. I especially love that you keep the camera outside of your cabin so that we can see the work area instead of just getting the narrow view from the 'driver's seat' like so many other youtubers do. Seeing the work area from a distance along with some closeups of detailed work makes it a lot more interesting and it shows how rough the work is that you do, having branches, trees and roots that wanna poke and trip you up almost at every step of the way. I also loved the drone footage with the sunset, indicating the end of one workday and the beginning of the next. Thanks for taking the time to make these videos and taking us with you on your jobs!
thanks, I appreciate the support. I actually thought the concrete video I just did would do alot better than this one, but I think youtube is recommending this one more for some reason. I try to switch up the angles as much as I can without the viewer loosing sense of where I am in the project. and I agree about the first person view , it just doesnt show alot.
@@jmuller86 ...... RU-vid video recommendations have a lot to do with video titles (keywords) and what viewers search for. Your last concrete video uses some words in the title that 'normal' viewers would never use or search for such as 'monolithic' and 'alaskan slab'. If viewers do not search for that, then youtube does not consider it 'in demand' Using generic video titles such as 'pouring a concrete slab for a pole barn" (or house etc.) is what viewers are more likely to type when searching and then you'll show up in more search results too, increasing popularity and recommendation rates.
@@silentepsilon888 that is really good to know, I may change the title if I can, alot of effort went into that video, it was over 1500 gb of footage. what youre saying makes sense, thanks
Jesse, you are truly talented. I sold my business 10 years ago and I sat right straight up when I heard you say budget threshold,a term i used for 30 years. great job
My father-in-law recently bought 5 wooded acres in West Virginia. In a couple of months we're going to start clearing a driveway and creating a pad for house as well. Very informative and educational video for me. Thumbs up!
I was a huge fan of Andrew Camarata, but after discovering you i'm a fan of you too. I know a lot of people already said this, but you truly do put a lot of effort into your videos. Keep up the good/hard work!
Nice job and lot but I don’t think peace will be found there with those darn barking dogs. I’m lucky ours is quiet and loving and only barks when really threatened.
There are few people in this world actually "give a shit" about the quality work that you do. You enjoy your work and it shows. I always look for the next video you produce. I love Architecture and building things I like to build furniture i can weld and love the machine shop environment. and I'm old school hot rodder. Keep up the great work you do.
your welcome, it's a good thing for kids to get into learning. And then they can do things at home like play farming simulator and it all connects together in real life
I'm looking to buy some raw land, and I was researching how to put a driveway in... found your videos, and you make it look easy... too bad you're not close to Tennessee cuz I'd hire you!!
@@RangieNZ around here they do it for free. I think they have fun running machines instead of raking things, so when they are slow they come over quick
Jesse, that was tremendous on so many levels. Photography, music, layouts and timing were all really professional. I enjoyed your on-screen drawings in the beginning to show the plan and you ran all the way through all the basic project, which makes the story line complete. I have to say it always impresses me how thorough you are with your explanations and planning. BTW I see that shout out you gave to Dirt Boss has really helped his Subscriber count to grow. It was very thoughtful and I know he appreciates it. Great job on all counts and thank you for sharing!
Thanks Dale, I wanted to go back and video the camper going in but I am so busy trying to get another slab done before the frost that I have not had time yet. I dont mind helping people that help themselves, and Mike seems to put good effort in so I dont mind helping. Plus I want people to know that us new yorkers are not all city guys.
I bet the Hemlock and Pine on either side is caused by soil type. They probably built the road following some geological line, ended up perfectly following the soil line.
thanks! yea the customer told me he wanted a driveway from point a to point b and left it up to me to get it driveable. I wanted to swoop around a little more to lessen the pitch (by adding distance) but the property line wouldnt allow it. I have been subscribed to you for quite a while actually, keep up the good videos as well!
Jesse,im in ohio,im thinking your in upstate New York,never been there but OMG that sunset was just AWESOME.TOTALLY AWESOME,the trees changing leaf colors,WOW,another job well done,like your vids,keep up the good work,stay safe
he is actually milling a little of the wood from up in the adirondacks for the next video, the cherry. but then after that he should have the new she shed up.
Hi Jesse, don't take the negatives on board, you and Andrew are both ok doing your thing, yours is equally interesting for an old guy like me. Bob, 79, New Zealand.
Getting your money's worth out of that old skidsteer, operator was doing a good job for you too. Surprised you hired help, great job. Thank you for producing excellent content! 🙏
I am very impressed with the fine work you accomplish with such a small machine.. The control of those joy sticks are awesome. Just like the extension of your own arms. Quality work! Great video.
Very cool video. We’re planning on purchasing land with no utilities or access. This helps in understanding how much coordination and work really goes into a job well done.
I was glad when the music started, so I didn't have to listen to the barking dog. Imagine living near that, and hearing it all day long. Great video as always. Keep them coming.
Maybe it was subtraction, not addition. Maybe someone, a long time ago, logged the hemlock on that side. Can infer from your video that the road is a boundary line .
Great video Jesse. I am so amazed at the amount of work you can get done with the machines that you have. The big pick that you made a few videos back sure works great on the stumps.
thanks, I am used to this machine, I started with that blue new holland with a backhoe on the back, so when I got my excavator I was so thankful and appreciative of it, so I had alot of patience going in
thanks, yea he did lol but I also have lots of plans for it too. I have a few projects coming up that will utilize all of it. A few are for some customers, and a few for myself
Hi Jesse, just wanted to say awesome video. I subbed via Andrews channel and so pleased I did. You are both awesome guys building your way up in business. You both have a great work ethos, Your comments are helpful and respectful. You may not have the machinery some other channels do, but your building up nicely, I am sure when your Running larger machines in the future, you won’t belittle and criticise smaller channels trying to make a living. Shows the type of people you and Andrew are 👍 Keep up the great work and hold your head high.
Thanks John, I started excavating using that blue new holland in some of my prior videos, it had a backhoe that we extended the arms to reach 9ft instead of the stock 6 ft. it worked great for a bunch of different projects over the years. but then I finally got my excavator, and took the backhoe off the new holland. What a difference and upgrade that excavator made, it was like night and day compared to the backhoe. I was so appreciative and thankful and plain excited to do jobs after I saw the power and speed it has vs the backhoe. So from the start, I was very patient and humble with it. I was never really a skid steer kind of guy, but after running Andrews when we moved that building, I really liked his IHI, with the hand controls. I really got that skid steer for my guys to use, I still would much rather run the excavator. The skid steer is nice for alot of things, but getting in and out of it is still one of the main reasons I would almost prefer to use the new holland for loading for some things. JCB makes a good telehandler kind of skidsteer that you enter from the side, ...one day..maybe....people always underestimate these mini excavators, but with me: coming from the backhoe and getting every job done that came my way, I know that what I am doing can be done with less, but some people think I need more.
Jesse Muller I am sure you will build up your collection over time and with different job needs. The JCB skid steer is an amazing design and blows the rest out of the water in most ways ( visibility can be an issue on one side when the boom is half lifted ) but that could be sorted with maybe a camera. Take your time buy the right machine when the time comes. Until that time carry on the great work 👍
I want you to know this video alone saved me a SH#$ ton of money. I bought some land behind me from my neighbor and was planning on having a culvert put in from the road behind and a 750 foot driveway. I also thought I would buy a small tractor to help clear and maintain the land....then watched this video. Cancelled my Kubota BX23s order and bought a Caterpillar 302.5C and doing it all myself. Amazing that even from the start...I have the same driveway issue from this video...have to fill in the ditch to get in first and then go back. I have now been addicted to your and Andrew's videos. You A#@@@holes have cost me so much money...LOL and buying a dump truck as the savings from getting the gravel myself alone pays for the truck as the pit is only 2 miles away. I was quoted 9k just for the gravel. getting the gravel myself will be like 2k Anyway, thank you to you and Andrew. I appreciate your videos
That is good to hear. Now you need to start doing jobs on the side with that 302.5, get a thumb for it if you dont already and make yourself some money. I was charging 125/hr with my 35zts which is like one size higher than the 302.5 . My big excavator is 5x the size of my mini and moves 6x as much dirt but I only charge 200/hr. So if you think about it you can make alot of money with the smaller machine and easy to move around
@@jmuller86 already ordered the hydraulic thumb, quick change, and new 24 inch bucket...lol. I need a 40 inch grading bucket but then I'm good. Thanks again man...you rock. My fiance is from syracuse....Oneida lake fyi... I think the nice thing is my 2016 gmc, trailer, and excavator are all paid for so pure profits lay ahead.
@@Unrelenting1 if all of those are paid for then you are definitely headed in the right direction. That is THE ONLY way to go. interest on these loans is a killer and discouraging. I have never had a loan on anything except one small one to put an addition on my house. Except for that loan, my house is paid for and everything else I own. Glad I can inspire you, keep on keeping on
Just started watching ur videos about a month ago, i like Camarata and his style, ur doing very good with great commentary, keep it up bub...also that root ripper is awesome !!.. Great job !!
Great video, workmanship & narration; for new excavator operators and tree fellers like me, busy tidying up a small rural property in Aus, it would terrific to get brief reasons why/how some basics are done e.g. blade support at rear or front; things to be aware of pushing a mini against a large tree and getting a rope up a tall tree etc. I know that to many this is property improvement/management 101 but for guys like me it helps provide another experienced view to learn from. Many thanks!
that was really good JM....if someone asked me to do any of that I would not have a clue as to where to start - excellent - and very entertaining too - thanks!
The white pine stand is indicative of past agriculture. Hemlocks grow exceptionally slow so the area in which you were working perhaps not been logged since the early 1900's. I am glad to see you making use of the downed trees! Also that ditch is full of invasive species, namely Colt's foot (i work in natural resource management). Something to be aware of so you are less likely to spread it around. Good work, I'll certainly be watching more of your videos!
Great job really enjoyed your work, for us here in the Southern Hemisphere and who like timber (lumber to you guys) it would be good to get a description of the various trees there that we don’t have. Keep up the good work.
I would place some construction cones and signs on the road for your safety. Great video. We are building on a rocky slope right now, this is most helpful.
Great job once again. Thanks for sharing, you do an outstanding job of video work and maintaining a professional and safe jobsite 👍cheers Jesse 🍻. See you on the next one.
Правильно сделал, что расширил дорогу и убрал укос, иначе ни фура с материалами, ни какая-либо тяжелая стройтехника не сможет заехать к объекту строительства.
Jesse it looks like the time and effort you took to build your ripper was well worth the investment when tearing out the stumps and roots good job with both the work and video 👍😎😎😎😎😎
Love the work that stump-ripper does. I need that, or a big pair of scissors, to cut through the vines on my land. To dream... Great video production. I'm learning a lot from watching.
