Although I have not been a subscriber very long, I have not seen a video from you that I don't enjoy. I like your style, the way you present your work, what you do and how you explain things. I enjoy the range of topics you have chosen to video, some are about things I can directly relate to whilst others are topics I know nothing about. Many thanks for what you do.
+ScottyRockTrains. Yes they make good machines! I've been operating trackhoes since I was 7 years old I'm 32 now so I've been around the block in one. Lol
this video took me back 40 years to the time I had bought me my first piece of land and needed to put in an access road. land was totally old growth forest. a couple of months with a chainsaw and I was in. then a couple of more months with a backhoe on a Ford tractor and I had the stumps dug out. thanks for waking up some good memories.
+Soybean Farmer. Your welcome! I would hate to think I had to dig out all those stumps with a backhoe. I think there was a couple hundred of them, most very large
Hey Dennis, just came across this video of the stumps. Great machine to get the job done. Great narration of what u were doing. Like I said, like watching real tv, lol. Thanks 🙏.
I just watched the video of you back at the yard splitting the logs with the CAT and the stump split-er, that would be handy here dealing with these stumps. thanks for taking us along👍
I used to do that with my smaller tractor........using the bucket curl to get under a stump. I tore the bucket apart once, but it really does generate amazing force!
Me too! Imagine one man, with a pickaxe, axe and a showel, tackling that mother of a stump alone! Yeah, done in time for retirement 🤣 .thank you for the video! Wtf 104 thumbs down? All from those weasel turds angry with themself in the morning and with the rest of the day with the World. Btw. Love how you explain everything to us, ordinary citizen.
You add a new meaning to smooth operator...lol Watched about 3 mins and new I would love this channel. Subbed and liked. With your genuine personality and a wealth of knowledge in many areas of life you will definitely do well and go far. Many blessings to you and your family.
Nice work, I really like the way that narrow bucket makes short work of stumps. I expect you use it for water/sewer/electric trenching too. BTW You don't have em all, I have so many rocks on my property I should open a pet rock farm.
You're doing a fine job on those stumps. Of course some of those stumps are pretty big, but they seem to have been there already for at least a few years. I have found that, after you saw a tree low to the ground, if you just drill a few holes in the stump (carbide twist drill bit is best) straight down, that will help. And the more holes the better. The stump will start holding rainwater, which will attract carpenter ants. Eventually, they will eat that stump. I've done that with lance Trees ("ailanthus") which is soft, but the process will probably work the same will all except cedar. Of course hickory is the hardest tree in the U.S. It will rot, but take some time. Thanks for the great vid.
Hey, mr.DHL I'm a brand new subscriber but really like the content keep it coming. One thing I have experience in the tree industry is tree and stump removable. Your doing a great job I see your having some trouble I know they have tap roots but I think if you dig between a foot and 2 feet from the stump you'll bust the roots that are smaller and you won't fight the real thick roots that are right up against the stump. Just a little tip I know everyone has their own way of doing things.wish you a happy life and stay healthy.
@@DLHFarms I don't really comment to much on people's content I feel like it's not my business but everyonce in awhile you come across something you do comment on how ever I'm never coming from a bad place or being negative I think the stuff your doing is incredible so keep up the hard work. Thanks for responding stay safe and be happy.
This is a lesson for us compact tractor owners about how much time and power it takes to remove big stumps. Leave the big stuff to big machines rather than breaking or wearing out your small machine.
That's exactly right, I wouldn't even attempt to dig out a stump with my big farm tractors, they just aren't made for it you will break something eventually.
as i was telling my ole buddy Jerry i seen a guy come over at uncle claud one time to remove a stump as big as a small pickup bed - he brought a bobcat - as they all sit around and watched him saying he can't dig that old stump with that machine - long story short he did dig it up
You talk about how smooth that komatsu excavator is, in my honest opinion komatsu is a little better than cat because of how it has separate hydraulic pumps, you can track and use the boom, stick, and bucket all at the same time and it doesn't lose power like a Cat does. Would love to see more construction videos, I really like your channel.
If I have the choice I like to dig them out with the tree still attached gives you more leverage on them lol makes them seam a little easier to get out but I loved the video
In the 20 tonne machines, what do u think of the pc. Never operated komatsu excavator, dozer only. Currently have a gehl 603, 6 tonne mini. Crazy power. But the only place to get parts is Rish and not easy. Same with old 175c. Great vids...what machine would u buy new.
+Jeremy Patton. I would probably get another Komatsu when it come to PC138 size and up but anything smaller look elsewhere. I love the PC200 even compared to the Cat C and D machine haven't ran anything newer from Cat. This 200 is pretty old also 2003 model.
You should get an angry rooster for digging out stumps if you do it very often. Then again, I like that you can move all the trash into a neat little pile and fill the hole back in with a bucket and grabber.
i still have my grandfathers 2 man crosscut saw he used as a young man to clear farm land i would dare say it is near 200 years old and i have it hung in my work shop
How long to take to handily the machine similar like you do.. Spanish question..... cuanto tiempo toma * para aprender a manejar esta unida asi como lo hace usted ? Y cuanto fiesta el set up comply to do the job.than you julio..
No blown hoses says a lot about the Operator and how the machine is kept serviced.You do as good a Job operating your machine as Letsdig18. If you think you have rocks and iam sure you do but here in northeast Oklahoma we grow rocks by the truck load. All you have tp do to dig a post hole is dig out a rock..........
I had 3 pecan stumps dug out and they were huge. At least 5 foot across. It surprised the guy that had dug them out. He said he had never saw stumps that big, they had a great root system under them.
DLH Farms It was, we pushed a piece of 12in pipeline pipe up underneath with a dozer (an IH TD24) and then push the dynomite up in and packed it in .It was at least 400 to 500yrds away and rattled Grandma's China pretty good.
Stumps are hard on machinery but rock, they tear up blades if you out the blade to it hard, I've seen teeth ripped off, buckets crack, and of course the operator being to hard and anxious to let through it
+Gafarmer7410. Lol yes that belongs to my father in law and he swears by that thing he loves that cart! He bought a John Deere mower last year also on a cart like that
+Gafarmer7410. Not really, those 3pt hitch mowers can be a pain to hook and unhook can take 20 to 30 mins sometimes by yourself, with the cart you can hook and unhook in 2 mins. And he says the pull nice!
DLH Farms oh wow well if i see one ill have to check it out the mower pretty much stays on our mowing tractor year round so i never notice the hookup time lol
I live on a new development site in S Vietnam, all the roads and services are in and the building plots sold. yet very few buyers have built. To earn some income the developer has let the plots to farmers, around me they have planet cassava that makes MSG. The other crop is fast growing pulp trees, a team will come in cut and debark them 5m tall trees. This is followed by the rooter guy who pulls the roots and lays them out on the roads to dry and the earth to fall off this is done using old excavators with plenty of bearing and bucket slop but the guys keep the machine's going.. these are then loaded and taken away I'm trying to find out what they be used for, some say fire wood others say medicine. The land is then controlled burnt, disc harrowed and sapling plants and so the cycle goes on and with the odd building being built. I have bought the plots either side of my property as the tractors were getting too close to my walls, plus the way furrows go up hill and we were getting too much rain water run off starting to undermine my foundation. A drainage channel know diverts this water to soak away pits.
