More Vines in Pines, More Problems! 

The forestry muncher is by far the most useful tool you have for this stage. The carbide teeth last much longer. Check out a bite limiter retrofit, teeth will last longer but kinda spendy. Get the property lines clear, mulch in place everything woody you can, flush to the ground, so the bush hog (or goats) can maintain it. You now have 2 operators, work in tandem (with 200ft of distance between…learned that the hard way). Much more productive together than one at a time.

@@parphi3051 Excellent advice! Thank you!

Cows would have cleaned up a lot on the beginning too.

Thank you!

Aw! Thank you! We really appreciate the sweet comments! 💗 Allison

Good ideas!

Usually tbe heavy duty bushhog gives me plenty of ballast weight in the rear, but I would like to get some Rim Guard added to the rear tires too someday. Thanks!

Thank you!

Thanks 👍

We are testing the goats now on the vines to see how they do with them, but there are a lot of them!

Absolutely! Right now they still seem to like goat food more than hay and brush but hopefully this Spring they can go to town on all that!

You're welcome! Thanks for watching

All fixed now. Thank you!

Thanks!

All fixed! Thanks!

The equipment definitely helps and yes you are right, finding the right balance between "work" and family is a struggle sometimes. Thank you for your input!

Our pine trees are falling into neighbors yards in this video because our pines are getting destroyed with vines. But yes, I'm not a huge fan of homes in the fall path of large trees. The amount of shade you get isn't worth the risk of it falling, roots damaging foundations, etc. Thanks for watching!

👍

Thanks! The previous owner passed and it was left to family. I think it was too much for them to maintain so it was left alone. We arent 100% sure how long though. I'm guessing 10 years or more just by the size of some of the trees that have grown where pastures were.

I do have chainsaw chaps. I try to wear them everytime I use a chainsaw! Thanks!

You're exactly right! I'm a hands on kind of girl, so I love learning this stuff! ❤️ Allison

I debated whether or not to clean this area up because you're right, it is opening it up. But, if I didn't clean it up, every time it storms, we will have damage to neighbors properties from fallen limbs. The growth is slowly killing all the trees and I'm afraid if I dont do anything about it, all of the trees will be gone in a few years and open even more. Thanks for watching and commenting!

Agreed!

I'm always open for ideas on a better way to to do this!
