I've been Binge watching all your older vids,,,,been 4 weeks😢, this new job is huge for such a slacking ground crew to handle,,so much respect for you😊 and your American Worker spirit
That's a pretty house. But they lost all the privacy they had in their backyard. To each their own, I guess. Lots of hard work for days there. Thanks for sharing
That's fuckin awesome congrats on the new mini . That's what I want / need next . I'll be watching the rest of this video with tomorrow's morning coffee.
Three things: 1. Did the squirrel turn around and go back down? 2. That was a nice looking birch to have had to cut down. 3. Your 'before' forethought was impeccably seamless, down to the exact same perspective. I always forget to take any before pictures, let alone work them into a video shoot...lol.
The little squirrel ended up doing down ... then down some more ... and ultimately hunkered down at the base of the tree. The next morning s/he was gone so I'm hoping mamma stopped by to save the day
The Chinese mini was good for the money, but the new Wacker one sounds so smooth and looks powerful! You still need to design a chipper+dump trailer combo. That would be an awesome project.
Oh man- what a gnarly batch of trees! I sat so close to the edge of my seat I nearly tumbled off! 😂 You're a beast to get so much done in one day (wait - it took 14 days! oh wow, still amazing) - and I bet the ground crew is a bit envious of your capabilities! More than once I tensely whispered "watch out for your line!" Whew - Great video, thanks as always for sharing, Spencer!😊
That was a lot of nasty wood to cut down. How many hours/days you needed? As always good and clean work! I had to leave an untidy workplace today, cause of massive rain. Felt bad in the gut.... Greetings from northern Germany
It's always nice to leave things clean at the end of the day, but not always possible. 14 days in all on this job, so a long one. I haven't been to Germany in a while ... good hearing from ya!
Acompanhei seu trabalho por duas semanas, e fiquei encantada!!! Um trabalho muito árduo, que você executa com responsabilidade e muito profissionalismo!!!👏👏👏👏👏👏🤩🤩🤩
I used a bunch of different saws on this job ... maybe you're talking about the 200t at the end? I've run some 194ts over the years and have been happy with them
Yeah I recently got a new stihl 200t and put a 16" bar on it for bigger stuff ... it runs pretty well but I still prefer the 14" for most trees. just less to swing around :)
@metaspencer Awesome, I just put a 16" on my 201tc cause I keep having to cut limbs that are 16 plus, makes it much easier though you lose a little bit of power.
Solid job- how long did it take? I’m surprised you didn’t get everything on the ground first, then rent the chipper, but I’m sure you have your reasons.
@@metaspencer it’s on our mind for sure. Working with the machines we have, the conveyor design would help with loading purposes alone, much less filling the gap we currently have of not being able to unload with the press of a button.
OMG... ok you leave for a few weeks and the small yellow bus is gone😮😮.. and there's a chipper and a large yellow submarine in You're Arsenal..OHHHH THE HORROR... Probably next time you'll have a ground crew...😫😫😫...
Where is our ear plugs???? dammit......... and i was expecting some chipper action, another dammit on this vid, u shudda had ground crew on this job :(
@@metaspencer joking about the ear plugs?? no, joking about chipper action ..... no ....... and not joking about ground crew cos it was a big job and ur not superman..... atleast ground crew can swing the camera for ya :)~
@@OffGridAussiePrepper I'm a religious ear-protection wearer -- either foamies, a banded set of plugs, or the integrated system with my helmets ... gotta do it! I'll have to find that crew some day :)
@@metaspencer Ahhh i see the mis communication now, When I said where is our ear plugs I meant the audiances earplugs.... it sounded like the mic was put right next to the machine and it was double the volume of when u spoke..... I do see u wearing ear plugs all the time and ur various designed helmets...lol
My good man, watching your videos makes me want to tow my mini excavator up there and lend a hand so badly! Watching so much labor occur manually… oof. Done that, and you have my sympathies.
Enjoyed the video. That was a big job for sure. You're becoming mechanized....like it or not. Nice chipper you rented. Couldn't do the job without it (unless you wanted to take forever and haul for days😁). You are a worker, that's for sure. That's good, cause keeping busy at things you enjoy is what keeps you going.
Yeah the mechanization is hard to fight ... gotta roll with it. With the chipper I hauled 13 loads of chip out of there. Without it I'm guessing it would have been 30+ trailer loads of brush. Gotta go with what works. Thanks man
Great job. At the beginning of the video "he bought a chipper" then you mentioned the rental. Expensive and a bitch to maintain. Rental may be the way to go....
Workmans comp is required by law, as I understand it, when you hire even one employee. In addition you need liability insurance and coverage for equipment. With employees ya might want to carry other benefit packages as well
Wow, new equipment, that's awesome! That looked like a fun Job, I like those jobs. Once you have a chipper it's hard to go without one. It was a game changer for me! Thanks for the video, I always enjoy seeing what you're working on! Later! 😉
I can see now what you mean about the chipper ... I'm not set up in a good way to get it to-and-from the job efficiently, but once there it eats a lot of stuff
Hi Spencer, Those chops would make great ramial chips for apple and chestnut mulch once they are rotten down in a year two. How are those chestnuts doing.
I didn't realize they need to rot down -- but they have been steaming and composting, so I guess the process is underway. I pulled 12 loads of chips out of there so about a million cubic yards :) the chestnuts are doing good! we walked the orchard a few days ago and there are just a few dead ones out there ... so I'm optimistic
If you can add grass and leaves into that mix you'll have a great pile of life to put around those trees. The late Michael Phillips believed in the mycorrhizal fungi from the ramial hips had a great effect on his apple orchards. All I know is after a year or so there's hundreds of worms working the soil that has the rotten chips. I'm very close to having my land logged so I'll be having 3-4 open acres for new chestnut and apple orchards. They'll be leaving 15 ton of chips. Lol.
@@nhmountains5683 That added organic material/energy to the pile makes perfect sense ... exciting about your land! open acres! our apple trees haven't been doing that great so (odd logic?) I think we'll plant more in the spring
