Can you just imagine what it would have been like to bring down those samplings before they added operational thumbs to excavators? Good tools + world class operators who know what they're doing & do it right = happy & satisfied customers = YOU GET PAID. Well done as always, Chris.
Whats even more baffling, even to this day a lot of countries refuse to adapt to the thumbs and wont add them or even make them available as an option.
I know what it was like. A team of men with chainsaws, axes, machetes, and maybe a tractor and a chain. That mulcher alone does the work of at least a half dozen laborers.
Chris used to run machines with fixed mechanical thumbs, his Hitachi and some of John's older machines as well. He did a clot of clearing without a hydraulic thumb back in the day.
Chris has a one stop shop. Selling dirt, mulching and tree cutting. Nice little job close to home. Little Mini doing a good job. Great mulcher. Robert helping is a plus. Thanks Chris Good video. Already cut and baled your hay. That was a quick.
I never seace to be impressed with the minni. Expecially taking down the big clumps of trees and that last stump was amazing. I also like it when you get Betty awake and she gets to have fun after a long nap. Great job and it's going to be a nice little project.
Good morning, Chris! (and Robert!) Now, THAT was a fun video! A little bit of everything going on. Clearing, mulching, ROCKS and a steep grade! AND, not nearly done and you've got your signature meticulousness put on it already. Hope to see the finished product! Thank the Good Lord your gloves were EMPTY when they got mulched! Hope you all have a GREAT weekend!
Great job as usual, Chris. Robert and you work together really well. It was nice seeing both the hay and the roof of the cabin while you were loading topsoil. This was a fun one, and thank you for sharing.
Hey Chris... Catching up on your vids over the past couple weeks since I had an unwelcome stay at the hospital for awhile to take care of heart and a severely bleeding ulcer which caused me to loose 2/3rds of my blood, so 2 units transfusion and a few days later finally back home enjoying Lets Dig 18 !!! 😅👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
From this video, we can see all kinds of productivity. Tree and brush cleared(great team work)1st cutting of hay(good-looking yield), and the start of the leveling process. Great Entertainment.
Strawberry and Betty gets its' first work out of the year. :) Did you bring in more bales of hay this year and are you going to get a second crop? Thank you and have a great week.
Looks like a good crop of hay there too bro. You and Robert work well together also and good to see you are able to use John's truck when available. Safe travels. Ken.
Here you are on the mini... And just a video or two ago you were commenting on the 220 feeling underpowered compared to the 330 for bringing down trees!!!
Interesting Work! Three little Machine what perfect for this Work. Where You with the Excavator root out the Trees and Brushwood to the Mulching. What is good then the Root can6 not more to Drive out. Then Mulching You the complete Branch and little Trees. Clear, Drive Earth here and grading all. However a Perfect Work. And the House have again Sun. The Video Excellent.
Ever consider adding (I know these are not cheap attachments/machines) a large 24"+ capacity mobile chipper and a large rotating shear to your array of land clearing equipment allowing you to chip and spread all organic (Trees, Brush, and Stumps) from land clearing jobs as an added benifit to land owners as all the organic materials would compost back into soil and greatly improve quality of topsoil w/o any burning as shear and chipper would make quick work of even the largest of stumps? Seems to me that this add on process would be especially attractive to farmers and ranchers who could start disking and mixing mulch into top layer immediatly greatly speeding up composting process and getting land ready for crops w/o much need to add expensive soil admendments to land you clear and grade?

Caught a glimpse of Robert at the start of the video. Hope he makes an important contribution than just a cameraman. Great you included Robert in the video. Consider sticking the Go Pro on his machine...we'll get to watch his operating skills. Thanks.
IT'S BEEN A WHILE SINCE I LAST SAW THIS TRUCK 🚚 CHRIS....I CAN REMEMBER SOME OF THEM EPIC JOBS THAT YOU WERE ON!!!...THE TRUCK STILL LOOKS GREAT 👍 👌 🎉🎉....
Thank God for good relaxing videos from Letdig18. Can't listen to the circus show news of these days, about makes me sick. Always a great selection of groovy sounding music to listen to. Have a great day.
Yanmar did good but you really need to sit it down and show it one of your videos of the 330 stumping and explain that this is the performance you expect of it.
Glad to see you using the murcher again. Not yet at the level that Daven [ Idigit4 ] is, but your doing better🙂 I agree when working in a confined space the mulchewr is the better piece of equiptment to use..Laughing when Chris says gotta jump start bettery, and then he notices the charger is not plugged in, " well you do have to plug it in, it helps" 🙂.Noticed your field is all cut and rolled. almost ready for the second planting?? Breat that Betty is still being used, the ole girl still has some life in her.
I also watch idigit4 he mulches up whole trees root ball and all, I was suprized you didn`t mulch up those roots, I watch this guy mulch up half a forest in a day with that head. Boy it sure looks good having sunlight hit the ground, it sure will look good all leveled out, they gained a lot of extra space.
In some situations especially with trees that do not regrow and land that’s just being cleared and not built on I wonder if a stump grinder would be more efficient so you do not have to then remove the stumps or burn them. You could grind the stumps into the ground under the surface.
