CAT 308 YANKING TREES OUT OF THE GROUND. SAFETY GLASSES NEEDED...

[@ledirtworks8403]

Looking Good Sam ! You can tell when a Guy Likes what He does, It shows in the Pride you take in your work 👍🏻 Have a Great Day! Take Care and We will Talk Soon !

[@tristardiggin]

Thanks Evert. You're right, when a fella enjoys his work it shows. Sounds good, talk to you then... Have a blessed Sunday...

That 308 surprised me few times on the larger trees. Took them down with little effort!.. looking good!.. Ready for part two. Stay safe out there.

[@tristardiggin]

Thanks Gary. The 308 surprises me too at times. Working on the next one and it will probably be out tomorrow if I can get it finished up by tomorrow... God Bless, Sam

You left us hanging at the creek 😂 looks like sandy soil, and the 308 is doing pretty good 👍

[@tristardiggin]

Well, the creek is a good hang out spot. But you won't catch any fish or crawdads in this one though. 🤣. I'm very pleased with the 308 for sure. I do think about selling it and bumping up to a 313 or something in that size range. But those things are crazy high at the moment... Thanks, Sam

[@LifeWithChase]

@@tristardiggin yeah, everything is crazy high now. I could have bought a 308e2 like yours for 65-70k during the virus from a cat place that had a few to choose from. I decided I didn't really need one and would wait since it was More of a want. Now they're more expensive! I almost waited on buying my new flatbed Last year. I'm glad I went ahead and bought it. I couldn't afford one now!

[@tristardiggin]

Hind site you could have bought all those 308s and probably made 10k on each one. That was a good price on them at the time. I would like to find one being parted out with good body parts. The green horn operator that I am has beaten this one to death. And I don't like the way it looks. That's right on yhe flatbed, crazy high nowadays...

[@jamesbreault5762]

Coming along nicely👍👍👍

[@tristardiggin]

Thanks James. Have several more videos from this job site to edit. But this was a great project to do. Sam

[@markrunion1769]

Hard to beat your work space.Sure beats office cubicles and traffic 😆

[@tristardiggin]

Thanks Mark. That is certainly right! Farming and excavation are neck and neck for the best jobs...

[@smithworx1091]

Cutting in roads like that are aggravating with no room to put the brush piles. That 308 is a good size for that. Nice job

[@tristardiggin]

Yup, it was a pain. Only had 50' to work in for the first 1200'. 308 does a good job with that size tree. But like the 309 you had the thumb ears bend out. I have a bush fix for that in the next video. Thanks

[@MyTractorGuy]

Wow what's the slope on that drive? Sometimes it's nice to cut off the machines and enjoy the quietness. Reminds me of Psalms 46:10 "Be still, and know that I am God. I will be honored by every nation. I will be honored throughout the world.”

[@tristardiggin]

Right, that is very steep in places. Thanks and that is a great verse for that video. God Bless, Sam

[@JamesJones-cx5pk]

You should putt#3 gravel over rip rap covered with sand for the road.😪 Great vid!

[@tristardiggin]

Thanks James I appreciate it. Got a few more videos from this job site coming out. Was an interesting job with a lot of different work to do. I do put down some 2" rock for base in some of the areas of the road. The owners plan to do rock in stages as budget allows... Thanks, Sam
