[@eliteearthworksllc]

Making quick work of those huge stumps! Nice job!

[@DirtNinja]

Sure did!

I used to own a 345D which was a beast and I loved it. Giant power and very smooth. However living on a plantation in Louisiana near the Mississippi river in Louisiana meant the machine was too heavy to roll out from the shed for about half the year without tearing up the ground wherever it was tracked. So a couple years ago I went from that 45 ton machine to both a 30 ton machine and a 305.5. Both have thumbs and hydraulic bucket changers and three different buckets. Quite disappointed that Cat doesn't offer progressive link thumbs on the small machines. With the 30 ton machine I can pick up a culvert from any distance.

Finally we get to see you operate something bigger than the Dear.

[@michaelgaudette4934]

Quarter million dollar machine and no thumb to pull stumps. It's a good thing fuel is cheap.

[@antoniobrown5323]

Definitely will make the job a lot easier 😮

[@allied1394]

Awesome power with that machine pulling those stumps like twigs those are fun to operate comfy to

[@DirtNinja]

Yup I dont ever want to pull stumps again with out it! haha

[@NH1969GOAT]

I own a mini-X and it's amazing to watch what the big kids can do!!!!

[@gkk2001]

Incredible power.

[@justanotheridiotredneck]

I need one. 117,500 lbs! I had 15 acres of mature pines logged. Rented a deere 210g - 55,000 lbs - for a week (40 hours) maybe got 4 acres stumped? Most stumps were more than 6ft tap root to cut from feller buncher, 3ft plus diameter trunks, and showed no mercy for the machine.

Operating Weight 107145 lb according to their website. www.cat.com/en_US/products/new/equipment/excavators/large-excavators/1000026557.html

Needs a thumb!!!! Great video

[@jasonhyser5285]

Good job

[@jimmydickson8854]

A lot of power in that machine

[@rollz_out5404]

Man that thing has some power

[@DirtNinja]

Sure does!

[@briangardiner1015]

That 349 is a BEAST. What is the land being cleared for? Keep up the good videos.

[@DirtNinja]

Thats for sure! We cleared it for a horse pasture

[@dbyrne262]

Great video! Don’t know why but I could watch big excavators pulling stumps all day long. It’s like scratching an itch to see stump come out roots and all.

[@DirtNinja]

If it took me more than 3 seconds to pull a stump... it was a massive stump!

[@hobsonbeeman7529]

That was some lowland there, you can tell by the root ball

[@7rixee]

This is so overkill 😂😂

[@oldtimerf7602]

Not gonna front. This is arousing. Mooor pawahhhh!

[@andrewbarrett8652]

A couple people think he needs a thumb. But the truth is on a machine that big it just gets in the way to pick up large rocks and stumps.

[@WorkshopatTheGardens]

Could have use this to dig a stump out recently... nice.

[@bret_Lambky]

I would like a smaller version of that for about an hour!

[@7080nik]

badass !!! what does it cost to rent a machine like that?

That thing pulls like a dentist

[@jameslindley924]

A BREEZE !!

[@sqeezieboi7459]

Who ones that 349

[@leol1682]

Like the video man .

[@mariaaltieri5246]

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@clarrnceclark9482]

Those are just pine tree stumps get into the big oak trees they'll still get them out but not nearly as easy

[@rogerl8488]

What going in this area? I wish I had a job like this!!!

[@DirtNinja]

We cleared it for a horse pasture

[@AvraamDavidyan]

What’s the best way to get into excavation

[@silentepsilon888]

from the ground up would be my guess

[@danijellukic2196]

We have CAT 336 E excavator . . it's so big xD

[@ralph7254]

What's that cost to rent?

[@Kai-zu2xn]

15k a month

[@bpeters6659]

Where i come from we take the top soil off of the stump. You must be new

[@DirtNinja]

This was actually the first time I ever ran a machine. How did I do?

[@bpeters6659]

Not bad man, just take the soil off it burns better

[@scruffy6151]

@@DirtNinja yah right i know better than that lol.

[@silentepsilon888]

@@DirtNinja ... great job for this being your first time. Sooo, did the boss let you back on the excavator after this, or are you back on street sweeping duty with the push broom?

[@Forestryman707]

This is a old video?

[@DirtNinja]

From this summer

[@stevensexton5801]

[@JoeMalovich]
