600 YARDS THROUGH BRUSH HELL! Mulching A 600 Yard Fire Break

[@wmbigchef]

Great camera view. I like that you mounted the camera on your skid steer. It seems more realistic.

[@chucksimonton2969]

Maybe a magnetically mounted compass would help? Your situation reminds me of the land navigation course I took back in my days in the army. Keep up the videos. I enjoy the content you're posting.

[@redcauthen771]

You could try a GPS with the property lines over laid

[@shawn081082]

I've run one of these before. I giggled like a schoolgirl at everything trying to stop that machine. These are incredible machines, and videos don't do justice on the power of these things. Love 'em!!

[@bocapapat]

One of the best videos. Really enjoyed it

[@bigraywaxman2057]

Young man when doing property linres through such thick brush and trees would it be posible to fly a drone above you as a air marker to guide your path ???

[@michaelcain468]

Great idea using a drone

[@SiRMastER1]

Vision is already limited in those thing… no way I’d be able to look up and see a drone… you really just need to know point A and B and if it’s a straight line in between or do you need to add more points

[@tireballastserviceofflorid7771]

Good idea. But don't forget uncle Sam. If he were to use a drone for his land work or for uploading on KZbin he would have to have his commercial drone license. It's a substantial fine if caught using a drone improperly. And possibly even criminal.

[@wilnewyork1]

I am amazed at what you and these machines can do, how can I get to do the same things, I'm in NY and am looking to get a piece of land in UpState NY and build my own little summer get-away cabin..

[@ErwinMaas]

Loved to see this, really nice mulching demonstration. I fail to see however how this is going to protect against fire, where I live in Portugal a firebreak must be at least 25 metres wide, this is like 2 metres at the most...

[@scottmagee9709]

You are correct.....plus the mulch on the ground is fuel. Mulching it down was ok, just have to come back and disk it to make it a fire break.........

[@brucemartini2288]

Thanks for NO AD breaks👍 in your videos😊

[@MadsWorld34]

this is my 2nd video i watched of yours. and i would be in so much trouble if i got to play on some of the stuff your working with. LOL

[@heatherlane9270]

Big job for the mulcher - interesting to see so much land which has been left untouched for so long.

[@ellalove1188]

Dude 😎 that's the way you do the thangs you do with that mulching machine LoL

[@jerrymaler4099]

Can you use Google maps to plot a course between two GPS points?

[@robertbarnum7541]

That was way fun. Thanks bud.

[@iduswelton9567]

Great control burn border, id of loved it when i worked as a Forest Ranger

[@bevshelden6536]

A fire- break should be two to three times as wide as the height of the nearest surface vegetation(fuel), such as grass and shrubs. Yearly mitigation.

[@25vrd48]

Big Munchy doing what it's made for . Good explanation . Great video .

[@detroitnatural9392]

Excellent video Thanks for bringing us along

[@tomswindler64]

Good video,you did nice job on making that cut,everything looks like it went well.customer should be very happy.kudos 👍👍👍😎😎😎🌲🌲🌲🌳🌳🌳

[@lancebowyer3263]

I know you do what the customer wants done but in Australia that's the width of a hand tool trail taken down to mineral earth. Done by volunteers of the RFS in NSW , wish we had a Munchie . What does the customer expect this to achieve in thick scrub like that ? It wouldn't stop a camp fire.

[@robpanel]

love this stuff. the ride along like im cutting it is the best. longer ride alongs please 🤣great stuff.

[@OnlySlightyRadioactive]

How is that going to stop a fire crossing, it is so narrow and the ground is now inches deep in lovely flamable mulch too.

[@allanpeters4403]

Great vid - sharpen the beasts blades after that!!!

[@johnlord8337]

Need to have one of those timber cutter, felling, stripper, and log section saw blade and take down all the big brush and trees....

[@Ramona57-TX]

What nice area, you did a great job battling all that brush.

[@chronically.advocating]

God that was as bad as when you cut those horse trails for that lady through all the kudzu smothered undergrowth. Can't really see a darn thing and gotta just feel your way through. Good job keeping the lines mostly straight without any real guidance I'm impressed.

[@dm9860]

Nice video, tie color ribbon on trees at property line better visual.. Also, what u did is better than nothing, but a fire break has to be wider. Bulldoze after ur done will scrape to dirt and smooth those ruts .

[@bettyf2893]

Do you have GPS guidance you follow on a map in these forests?

[@marting299]

Congratulations on the 100k Well deserved

[@donnaflanagan6612]

Heh Davin, that was a lot of fun. Take care & cheers🥰

Love Big Munchie, gets it done. Great job, looks good. Land owner should be able to keep up now with bush hog. Thanx for sharing.😃

[@billfeldman3234]

You did a very good JOB

[@houndsmanone4563]

Nice work. Tough cutting through thick stuff that you can't truly get a bearing on, however, you came out smack dab where you needed to be. Nice job! I sure could have used your services a few years ago on my wooded land. Big munchie woud have had just as much fun cutting paths here. Have a fine week. Full-watch. 👍🏽🤠 4/16/23

[@randydobson1863]

hello ldigth4 its is randy and i like your video is cool and super cool dligt4 thanks friends randy

[@williamlloyd3769]

Surprised you weren’t given GPS coordinates to run the track along. Who knows how well they complied with actual surveyed boundary line when they harvested the timber on the adjoining parcel.

[@robertchautardjensen6846]

You are so lucky with the timber you are grinding up. Here in Australia we have hardwood trees that are almost as hard as steel and dull the sharpest flail mower blades...

[@TimberdeckingnowAuDeckBuilders]

Yeah, Ironbark and Darwin Stringybark to name just two species!

[@robertchautardjensen6846]

@@TimberdeckingnowAuDeckBuilders and then there is Tallow wood, don't put a flail mower anywhere near these trees... The teeth are likely to be spat out.

[@bettyf2893]

[@Tim.Stotelmeyer]

When you have to eyeball a property line like this do you inform the other property owner that you might accidentally intrude on their property?

[@kevinpeaster5785]

Around my territory fire breaks are meant to stop the fire!. Your making it easier for the fire to keep going!!.. anyway I need to rent or buy big mulchi

[@johncanody5456]

Great footage

[@jamesfaul9824]

Now THAT was a mulching video!! Showcased the power of your ASV/Prinoth combo perfectly!! (too bad somebody couldn't fly your drone above the action, that would've been great footage). Nicely done 👍🏻!

[@charlesroberts6965]

Amazing footage..that cutter head makes quick work of that brush...just curious do you need a high flow machine to get good speed on the cutter head?😊🇺🇸

[@HARLEYMLM1966]

You get about 5 or 6 old tires chain the together offset from each other and you drag them. It knocks stuff out of the way and fills in the holes

[@jeffreytofield9764]

[@richardrutel6806]

This has to be your best yet. Watching munchie charge through brush and woods so thick you couldn’t walk through it is incredible. Did you ever have one of the trees come into the cab?

[@billykulim5202]

if it was me, i will make the cab closed tight, you never knew a snake or bee or fire ant craw inside the cab

[@waynetaylor5227]

reminds me of a guy in the service about 55 years ago who smoked and was a boozer who would fall asleep while smoking in a chair. he decided to shave a fire break across his chest and did so.

[@chestergrigsby1668]

A lot of the time these big trees are left in spots to reseed pines, not necessarily property lines.

[@larrymercer3448]

[@idigit4967]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@mitchellgourley4642]

What does it cost to rent something like that?

[@SiRMastER1]

My area… you’d have to open an account… so they’d run your credit and then before tax the minimum I found was $1600 a day… like 5 something for the week… but that’s basically the same rate most people in my area charge… so your paying the same but one comes with an operator and no credit check

[@johnathangoldsworthy]

you call that a fire break ? 30ft minimum for a decent fire break! and dont forget to make an area for trucks to do u turn about every 500 ft

[@williamlloyd3769]

Agree

[@dustup2249]

Guessing an accurate property line is so last week with the advent of GPS guided harvest machinery. Stand directly over each corner pole and program waypoints on a mulcher mounted GPS guidance program like all the hick farmers use to autosteer their properties. You've got toys for sure--- just not the right toys...

[@rt3box6tx74]

Us hick farmers know how to find property lines in spite of being technologically challenged. But the contractors we hire are always in a big rush and eff things up. I paid a guy to build barbed wire fence, and he put the damn thing several feet inside my property line along the county road easements. That's equivalent of giving away several acres of farmland to the county. At $13.5K a mile I'm not too happy, since I told that little punk to put it exactly on the property line. There were no obstacles, no rocks, no trees, nothin. I don't need equipment operators tryin to make decisions for me.

[@chestergrigsby1668]

Owner needs to hire a timber consultant to see after property, he receives a percentage of timber cut, well worth it, he will mark your boundary lines for you and advise you best way to take care of property, he bids out the timber for you and you will get the best price, this usually pays his percentage and then some.

[@TheGoodguy68]

My realtor showed me the app REGRID when we was listing our house and the property lines were dead on. I checked it with my other property and they were dead on with the corner stakes.

[@franknelson5165]

Great job! Your videos I really enjoy and are interesting I never get bored. But you never answered my question on how you sharpen your teeth on your equipment.

[@idigit4967]

I use an angle grinder

[@59patrickw]

Have you thought about using what 3 words to get that corner point as it is a 3 meter square (1 yard) to help when you can not see

[@johnkranz4004]

Real nice job looks good

[@DM-ll7he]

Why doesn’t the owner mark the trees to show the property line?

[@bruces2665]

why does he not just use GPS?

[@bobmellon]

Back in my day we did all of this with a DR brush mower, in half the time, now only 6 easy payments of 149.99

[@chuck685]

How do you price a job like this. Did you walk it first.

[@jeffbailey7765]

Good video and job brother

[@phatboizbackyardkustomz9006]

You can't use the stakes or property monuments to GPS point to point and have a GPS in the cab sorta like farmers are using like a GIS study or use a drone to pre mark it and the program the GPS? Not trying to take to the next level. And Big Muncie eats well!

[@zachfskipper]

You can't make a fire break with a mulcher. You're just putting fuel on the ground that will just burn across the line and get out. When certified burners come to check it out they are gonna have the forestry department make real fire breaks which they could have done off the landowners Bush hog line

[@heathenfirewoodservice2021]

Did you get a new skid steer? That’s one mean machine.

[@robbobcat7286]

is this the guy that uses onX to map property lines?

[@MamaK65]

Doesn't a fire break have to be 10+ feet wide? I would think he would want it to be a tad bit wider for safety sake.

[@bevshelden6536]

Two to three times wider than the height of surrounding grass or brush.

[@houndsmanone4563]

@@bevshelden6536 here in NC the firebreak must be 50 feet because of so many super tall loblolly pine trees. I was going to cut all the trees around my house until they said 50 feet all around, then I said, no way am I oosing all the natural wooded landscape but I did cut it 50 feet on two sides of the house.
