Hey Steve do you still have your chopper?

How things have changed... In Canada.. Alberta lots of new land clearing for farmland every year opening up in the north of the Province... Use a larger like D8R and a V cutter on the ground frost.. Winter December through into April with a sharp cutting edge for years and works great even in logged out areas where stumps exist. Shears trees/stumps off near the ground... Then.... Now newer styled pilers rip out many of the remaining stumps left by the cutter and tree roots especially if done twice and little dirt in brush piles but cost like $50,000 to $60,000 to build and 20 to 28 foot wide! Makes brushing larger treed area's or logged out which most likely the case... Company in Red Deer Alberta and others make a very large breaking Disc that smack the remaining stump material and roots bust up... Makes what you got and the way it's done 20 times faster.

How have you been Steve? Hope you are doing well

Aint nobody just farming that land without running a picker machine through it first to get all those root & stick pieces out of it unless they want to destroy their seed drill.

Nice set up

Seems like a lot of money i dont see it

That’s a pretty slick idea.

A while back I was driving Case 850 with tree pusher & I was tasked knocking over trees that had been ringbarked in the depression & I learnt by hard experience that cab & over the bonnet exhaust filters needed to be covered even on the sides. Because when you hit dead tree or even just rock it there will be branches that fall.

Sure like your stuff. Think it would work on the salt cedar infestations out here in the west? Seed bed lasts 3-4 years.

Ranger bandit ?

How do you load plow onto your tag Tralee?

Would have loved to have seen the drag pass the camera! Great looking job!

Man, that disc does a great job!

Do you have to have a contractor license to clear land?

Jsncmd c s dnd is x x

Thanks for the great land clearing info. What model Rome are you using? We have 18 acre field in typical Illinois clay loam soils that has had 1-3 saplings growing. We brush hogged it and ran a dozer over it to level the ground but need to know the right size Rome that will for sure slice dice the roots in the dirt.

May God bless you and yours !!!

After a few years I am revisiting your videos Mr. Benifiel. I hope your retirement is enjoyable!

You have one of those voices you could give an hour long insurance seminar and I'd probably sit and listen to it.

How’s it going? Still in business? Glad to see you all still at it!

Im gonna need to see your operators license............your tint is too dark! lol Cool spear, hane not seen that before.

Why don't you talk into the microphone

Looks like a blast to run. I'd love to knock down some trees with that beast

I like the disc idea to cut up the roots

Hoping to get into some land clearing in the future. I've done some smaller jobs already

Thanks for video.

If you don’t mind sharing, what do you charge per acre for this kind of job?

Finally someone who gets it! I argue all the time to guys who mulch and claim they “clear” land for farms. If the stump or root is left it will regrow. I’ve cleared a little over 2000 acres of my own land to know what’s needed. I’ve done it all…nothing beats a dozer with a rake and disc harrow.

That water oak is a little much for that D 5 you should break those oaks up with hoe to burn better

Dirt making that steel look like a new penny

That Florida sand is working on those pins and bushings

Haha! Great video! I like listening to you narrative! That good ole country accent! God bless the work of your hands!

Enjoyed listening to ya talk about this beast! Seen one in operation a few weeks ago and was like man that's some rig!

You got the best voice in the biz. You should be on the radio or a podcast.

Hi, I'm interested in having some land clearing done in North Florida. Do you still offer this? @stevebenifiel5332

You do any side jobs with that thing? I

1/1/23. Much enjoyed watching & listening to yur video 2day. CAT D6 & 36"(multi/16?) disc Rome plow did a great job! Appreciate your emphasis on extracting the below surface roots to 13" depth. Glad to see another video from you! Comon' give us YT viewers more!👍👍👍⚙️👏😊

How do I hire you in St Cloud, Florida

Can you tell me how long is for that spear and the thickness of the spear? I’m looking for someone to build me one like that in Huntsville Texas

how does someone get in touch with you?

How do you load and unload your plow?

That is amazing! i Need to get one.

Will be missed Enjoy your retirement We have the same soil up here in Panama city Florida

I'd love to have all that firewood!!

That up and forward plants your tracks and makes that dozer pry it up out the ground. I've always said watching ppl hit trees w a dozer w they blade all way up don't got no idea about or no business on a dozer in the woods. You leave atleast bout a third up that way it won't jus hit the tree and spin

One them damn bearings weighs 90 lbs. Fellow I used to work for had one he bought, a newer one bought in 2015 new Rome w the 36 inch disk like yours. This one I think is 20 foot wide. It was wider than our 360 horse Deere w spaced out duals that wrapped round 4 36inch rows us about another tire width that's bout 6 rows wide. Bout 18 20 foot. That was somethin to watch, it handles all your roots smaller stumps trees and mulches them up

i live in georgia and these operations are so cool to me

I always thought the disc harrow would be the most efficient way to clear land when you want to leave all the topsoil in place.

That is incredibly efficient at clearing. How does it work on other types of trees where the roots go outwards more than just going down? I might have to add one of these to my rake.

Made short work of that scrubby stuff
