I like the roll off equipment haul thing you got going on. I run a rollback tow truck but now you got me thinking I could get a roll off truck as a budget-heavy flat deck tow truck.
You should have enlisted Andrew's help with the excavator and a chainsaw, or his skid steer with the grapple bucket to clean up and organize all that wood. Love that track loader, it's got great power for its size. Great video Dave, keep them coming!
Be careful with the root ball when they start over, i was pushing a big red oak over and had the root ball roll up under my left track and almost turned my loader over. Luckily i found reverse in time to back off and the root ball caught the lift arms dragging the loader with it all way to the ground, that was my learning experience so when the tree starts going and stop i back up get to the side of it an and roll the bucket under the roots to roll it out the ground. Roots like to pop up from nowhere and poke a nice hole in the radiator too lol
Trackloader is kinda small for that big of a job, overheating is a sign of that! And the trees are kinda big, need a D-6 or D-8 dozer for that job Dave! Thanks for sharing brother!
Superb Dave, it takes time to get used to a new machine and using it efficiently. But that was good playtime pushing trees over....lol. Your dog gave you that look....your track loader - you use it.....not me. I dont have opposable thumbs....
24:14 i thought something caught fire but was the sun shining thru ont the bucket. 25:55 was one of those root balls under your tracks i mentioned below, scoop under it and the tree would have fell on over.....its a learning process but you got it going on though
@@Dumpster_Dave the pup in the seat had me laughing, he was getting a massage and looked to be going to sleep🤣. I thought that last tree that was hung up had got you when it fell, when the tops come out of a dead tree and you dont see it they really get your attention when they fall 50’ smack the roof then fly off as dust
@@Dumpster_Dave thanks Dave...much appreciated. I really enjoy your mechanic videos. I did the same my whole life...harder when you get older, just takes more time. Look forward to your next video..thanks again
nice tractor for it`s size , but i do recommend that you flush out all of the old school green calcium ladened coolant for the newer better coolant that will not clog up the radiator over time
$800 would have been a good price to cut that tree down… just saying, but if it can be done by yourself by all means save the money. But for the record $800 for a tree that size it a good price
@@Dumpster_Dave I completly understand because i am use to running a case 850b and 963b track loader and Dad sold the 850 and got a skid steer and i am like in a different world. I dont really like the skid steer myself but he loves it. I hope this makes senses.
Well THAT was lucky, wasn't it??? Heh heh! Yeah Man! Ahhh, made me smile.... The heart of a degenerate gambler.... Imma pull this off, and hope like hell the threads match... Heh heh heh!!! High five Sir. Not easy to film while you're spraying a hose... Somehow it only takes .0025 seconds for water to hit the lens.... Nice job. That's a neat machine....
Would need an overweight permit for that where I’m at but that’s not bad at all. I’ve transported mini excavators and skid loaders inside of my 50 yard can
I thought it was running out of fuel, I’m not sure if you ever ran a diesel out of fuel, but it sucks. Also this is a non-turbo machine so don’t see why you would have to cool it down.
