You have so much history and beauty in Tennessee. Great video Sam.

[@tristardiggin]

Tennessee is a great place to live for sure. Thanks…

[@Cutter-jx3xj]

You know I gave my life to christ in 2015 and I have really been struggling the last few days. I found your channel and subbed and listened to the scriptures. I hope you know that was really what I needed. Keep sowing seed brother, u might be the only person who comes into a person like myself, who lives alone, that day with God's word.

[@tristardiggin]

Wow! God is good!!! Thank you for sharing that. It is awsome to hear personal testimony like yours. You nailed the purpose behind this channel. And that is to reach folks with the message of Christ, who may not be hearing it any other way. I have received occasional messages like yours where folks heard a message on the channel and it blessed them. So, thank you for the encouragement and thankful the message helped you. Had a few folks request more teaching from the Bible so I started another channel just for that, Diggin' the Word. God Bless, Sam

A dirt perfect recommendation, and a great find for me. Your voice is like sweet treacle dripping onto a slice of warm granary toast and i love it, A big thanks to them and a big hello from me in London. Its amazing how watching somebody work well can give so much pleasure to others, i have gone back and started on an older video so that i can enjoy some of your journey on youtube. I hope your numbers soar and keep up the good work, Thanks👋👋👋👍👍👍

Thank you again for sharing another good job and good message with us, Sam. Look forward to the video and the message. I think you feel the same way that I do when finishing a job. It is a sense of satisfaction to leave a property better than it was when I got there. I also enjoy seeing the customers' reactions. Keep up the hard work and sharing of God's word, my friend.

[@tristardiggin]

I agree, really enjoy seeing the finished job. Always appreciate the comment and support of the channel... God Bless, Sam

[@zfilmmaker]

I’m always impressed what those Harley rakes accomplish. I bought one to smooth out a few hay fields and pastures I redid and the finished product was incredible. I ended up selling it thinking I had no more use for it but wish I kept it. It does a nice job on old gravel roads too. Nice job there!

[@tristardiggin]

I’m am with you on that! They do a great job on dirt and just as good on gravel roads too… Thanks

@@tristardiggin In France too, it’s versatile but you have to be careful with skid steer, summer is very hot. The caterpillars (tracks) come off sometimes ...

[@WestVirginiasBigred271]

I have to admit you had my nerves torn up a little bit when flying your mini 2 through there but you did really good. When flying in these areas obstacle avoidance is really helpful. But unfortunately the mini 2 doesn’t have sensors for obstacle avoidance. But the mini 3 pro does. But in your case with flying the mini 2 FPV could really be helpful. And you can get a tablet called the tripltech 9pro from amazon that has an HDMI port and you can use it with any FPV goggles that also has the HDMI port. This tablet works when downloading the DJI fly app and hooking the FPV goggles into the tablet. Which allows you to view your drone’s camera through the goggles. It’s easier to see when flying through tight spaces. Also using grid lines helps you to position the drone at the center of the camera. I usually don’t fly my mini 2 in tight spaces but the mini 3 pro does well with the obstacle avoidance you can set it to bypass and press forward on the control stick and it will go around, or over, under any obstacles. It works really good.

[@tristardiggin]

Thanks, does the goggles make you motion sick? Was talking to another guy about the goggles today. I'm hoping to get a mini 3 pro pretty soon since you recommend it. Looking forward to using it...

I was doing some work like that in an open cab here in north central Texas a few years ago and got into a swarm of Africanized bees. Looked like a cloud of smoke coming. Before I realized what it was I was put into the ER and hospital for 5 days. It was very common then in this area. An old gentleman and his dog were both swarmed and killed here. He was mowing

[@planeanddirtsimple]

Beautiful river. Great message and you did a good job transforming the place. The power rake really helps make everything look good. Of course it’s mostly the operator right😁

Thanks, and yes the river is beautiful. This area is just a great place to live. In this line of business, the power rake is a must have, in my opinion! It takes .05% operator and 99.95% equipment...🤪 Sam

@tristardiggin haha no still visit, you can buy it we have Costco so you can buy bulk hahaha.. Coke and Pepsi are the most consumed then probably redbull and V energy drinks

[@theautodidacticman_]

How much do you have invested in that rig and how much would you normally charge for a job like this?

[@tristardiggin]

I would say today the 259D would cost around $75k to $80k. The cutter would be around 15k and the power rake would be around $12k. That was a one day job and I generally charge around $1200 to $1500 pee day. There are some variables in most jobs which effects cost...

[@theautodidacticman_]

@@tristardiggin Thank you for the reply and videos you take the time out to edit and make for us. The reason I’m asking is that I’ve become physically disabled in my late 30’s and I’m looking for something that I can do for a living that’s not too physically demanding on me for the future as I get older and in worse shape. I basically can’t be on my feet for any long periods of time so I’ve been thinking about investing in a skid steer and cutter and starting from there. I have just under 80k saved for the purchase, so hopefully I can find something reasonable with an enclosed cab so I don’t have to mess with hornets nest anymore haha. Thanks again!
