Clearing For A Cabin In The Woods

[@sandrarivera285]

Chris u had me crack n up with yur singing n gestures... Love to hear u say.. COME ON... 😍

[@kirk467]

Myself favorite thing is watching you clear land and the way you break the trees by using other trees to crunch them into smaller pieces! Cool brother

[@JifeLacket]

I pushed over a 30' pine tree once with a little 226B skid steer and thought it was the coolest thing ever! Now I see this is common practice and it totally makes sense, super easy to clear an area!

[@jerryrolen9639]

One of my favorite jobs is clear and grub. Save those rocks! Great landscapers!

[@kirk467]

I miss Tim, I enjoyed you having help that could operate also! Less strain on a awesome operator as yourself Chris! You rock brother!

[@thundaera]

Hi Chris, single retired mom here in Ca. (nearing 70yrs old) lived in Va. and NC. Recently found your videos and I'm certainly enjoying them along with your commentary. So pleased to see you didn't cut down that little dogwood tree, not sure it had white blooms awesome job! One worry was Jimmy out there without a helmet with all those widow makers flying around. You with your experience well understand the risks, but him young and in training ? Thank you for sharing Bless you.

[@kirk467]

Yeah I’m watching another older video Chris! I love em all brother! And always waiting for the next one my brother! 👌🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@ohhpaul7364]

Whoever invented the thumb for those machines deserves way more credit than they have gotten. In 96 I had never seen an excavator being used for anything besides digging ditches, by 2006 almost everyone had changed to using them for lot clearing; before that everyone had a 963 or similar for clearing.

[@Questionable_creations]

Around where I live we use them for scraping old cars, awesome machine's with many uses that thumb is a totaled game changer

[@uggy7]

Well done Chris and Timski. 👍👍🇵🇪🐕❤️

[@johnapel2856]

It's probably boring for you, but I really enjoy watching you drop and fold those trees. It's almost like you know what you are doing! 😜 Thanks.

[@mrs.eliteearthworks]

The boulders are really cool! That’ll be a pretty spot for a cabin

[@robfraley4210]

Nice little lot in the woods 😲👍

[@brianwalter1689]

The owners have a good source of boulders to build a nice wall or maybe a fire pit.Nice job clearing those pesky saplings.

[@gayle4804]

Job done very well 👌

[@BlackOmegaUK]

That is productivity in action. Use what tools you have to do the job including the environment.

[@kirk467]

People in Louisiana would crap to see one of those big boulders in my front yard! lol seriously I wish I had one in the front yard! They’re cool looking!

[@sylviaprudhomme5417]

Very nice and neat.

[@mischef18]

Well if the cabin does not work out they could at least have a rock concert there. Made for a great video bro

[@peterwilliams3776]

Those rocks are called “ erratics”. Dropped by the glacier here and there when it withdrew.

[@pinky2502]

Folds them trees like he's folding envelopes. Nice job!

[@janvandenbos7085]

Nice friday project clearing one big tree and small trees Chris with the 160 excavator.....for a cabin in the woods 👌👍

[@mandy8211]

That 160 could use some polish. Its ALWAYS sunny and at least 70 in North Carolina!

[@Xxsnip3r126xX]

ted coffman that’s a lie nothing but rain it feels like this year

[@tnoel374]

Perfect one day job, love them.

[@bobcraighead5080]

They are called erratics. They were picked up by the glaciers way up north, pushed south as the glaciers moved south. Left behind when the glaciers retreated about 10k years ago.

[@jcadult101]

South,.. as in florida? Got any links to that?

[@leol1682]

Clearing job was very good .

[@johnm.evangelis693]

Great video Christopher!!!

[@bradleymincey6905]

Those radios y'all bought sure would be nice! Then you could just tell Tim that those logs we're poplar and not oak. But I reckon volvo sign language works too. Lol

[@randycharest4507]

ENJOYED WATCHING THE VIDEO CHRIS 😊

[@billymcclanahan1794]

Chris your doing a great job being patient with tim while he’s learning.

[@mismas81]

That Stihl has plenty of power.

[@briangardiner1015]

I saw the video from Volvo showing the new EC200. Looks like a nice machine.

[@KevinJohnson-fx6wq]

love your methodology. thanks for sharing.

[@kimmramer7779]

I admire your skill with an excavator !! 😍😍😍

[@louisianadirt2188]

Nice job, looks clean when the skid steer finished up grading out!

[@Todd.Roberts]

I’m glad to see you can entertain yourself while your working lol

[@diggindirtallday7188]

Looks like the 160 is getting a bit of play in pins and it looks a little grimy from grease residue. Great video as always Chris, keep up the awesome work!!

[@bobbaer869]

Looks great

[@CaptKirk1701]

Plucking hairs in the woods, nice job!

[@donbraden8533]

Snap them like toothpicks, nice wooded lot looks like prime area for deer nice job guys 😀👍👍

[@whobee8868]

Hey Chris nice little job there. Got a question when you have room and laying trees down how’s come you don’t walk the machine forward while bucket high on tree?? Less chance for tree to come back on you plus more control where you want to lay it down. Just trying to help you out a little. Try sometime you may like that style of clearing. Take care

[@bryanjohnson8204]

Tim and his chainsaw, it's a beautiful thing!

[@eliteearthworksllc]

Made quick work of that! Cool boulders too. Maybe Wade will catch on one of these days and get a stihl 🤣

[@johnnyholland8765]

Chris.... If you have the thumb extended about half way and you boom all the way in can you hit your front glass? It looks really close sometimes.

[@letsdig18]

it will hit the corner of the cab

[@cyndikarp3368]

Boulders are called glacial erratics. They sit on top or in a moving glacier, dropping them as it moves or melts.

[@canvids1]

great work but knowing what I know now so sad for the trees that are taken down.

[@sgedd1]

The weird rocks have a great name... They are 'erratics' deposited there by glaciers.

[@papaal7014]

...love the dogwoods...

[@blairarthur302]

Glacial erratics are stones and rocks that were transported by a glacier, and then left behind after the glacier melted

[@jasonking2943]

Call Tim on the radio and tell him. The difference between oak and popular trees!!

[@regsparkes6507]

Yes, it would seem that 'somebody' doesn't like using those 'walkie talkies', doesn't it?

[@hydraulic-hum]

enjoyed your clearing video.. love the chainsaw action too

[@jacksonmichael7512]

Je suis de retour Joey Jackson je vous réserve une énorme surprise fantastique top du siècle ✌️✌️✌️

[@toms641]

NIce dirt today, instead of that red brick clay you usually work. I think the phrase for those rocks coming from an ice age is "glacial moraine". $2 + that gets you a cheap coffee. Nice job.

[@63256325N]

The 160 needs a buff. Thanks for the video.

[@hphillips7425]

Nice place for a cabin I would stay there the entire deer season

[@jimcraig5208]

Does all of your equipment have your buckets on them? They look bigger than the original one that can on them

[@jeremymacrae9449]

The 160 is starting to look abit faded chris! Keep up the good work 👍

[@stevehelliwell9101]

The name for the rocks is/are Erratics, they are left behind after the glacier melts away.

[@ut000bs]

Except there were no glaciers in NC to melt away. 😉🤷‍♂️

[@stevehelliwell9101]

@@ut000bs There is plenty of evidence to show glaciers were around the Raleigh area of NC.

[@ut000bs]

@@stevehelliwell9101 The Labrador Ice Sheet almost made it to where the Ohio River is now in southern Ohio. North Carolina was a boreal forest near the coast but quickly turned to taiga further inland. There was not even permafrost in NC except for small parts high in the Appalachian Mountains. On the coast the ice sheet made it to just south of Manhattan Island where you can see evidence of it in Central Park. Also, I want to add that glacial erratics are very rough stones. The stones in that field have been shaped by water.

[@GARDENER42]

@@ut000bs Boone Fork glacier...;-)

[@GARDENER42]

@@ut000bs Glacial erratics can be either rough or smooth, or partly both, depending on when they were picked up & where they travelled in the glacier.

[@JF1994AE]

Keep up the great work man

[@JayJay-de8vq]

I was like how the heck did that big tree end up with the stump cut off after he knocked it down and moved it lol I had to back up and watch it again and notice the break in the video.

[@lutemule]

That bucket and thumb is just an extension of his own arm!

[@j34707]

Looks like the 160 needs a little bit of wash and wax action.

[@m2hmghb]

Those radios really come in handy don't they?

[@augustreil]

Especially when they are home ? lol !

[@daved7024]

Nice job👍Sweet excavator😊

[@GoBlue79]

I'd love to have a dozen-or-so of those boulders .. for landscaping .. care to bring them over? (ha!)

[@hvy1ton]

I can't get a good look at the bark, but it's probably Elm. The grain is super stringy to the point I refuse to split Elm for firewood.

[@regsparkes6507]

Nice little job, but interesting too.

[@markymarc136]

where are the radios you bought a while back??

[@keithdunlap2701]

Bam ! Bam!! just like that , hows it's done.....

[@joegoecke9711]

Moraine rocks.

[@waynetharp]

Beer Money Logging went home parched on this gig.😕 Do they plan to have footers dug in this rock garden or is cabin going on poles? Thanks for video...

What happened to the hand held radios

Holy shit rocks first time I have seen them where you live

When you going to install your radios?

Dang, that last pine tree had a ton of pollen all over it!

The sequel to the movie - The Cabin In The Woods. Plot - The horror begins when evil spirits are released from the ground, by machinery clearing land.

[@FishFind3000]

Alan Smith then the sequel of kill dozer starts. Possessed equipment killing operators.

[@samboslc]

So that's what has happened to America. When you think of it on a massive scale. The Native Americans had it much better than we ever will.

[@thepotterer3726]

This is the first of your videos where there seems to be a decent amount of topsoil, 6" or so at the outset, and it ended up with wet sticky clay - was that the intention?

[@Tractors_Trucks_And_Pups]

Are you in Washington state?

[@codyrainey5727]

Do you run the backhoe controls or the regular

[@506_Dust]

How long has tim been showing you how to clear?

[@joegoecke9711]

The glacial rocks are called moraine

[@augustreil]

You mean Migraine ?

[@ArizVern]

AGAIN THANK YOU FOR THE MORNING VIDEO. DROP STONES: Boulders pushed along by ancient ice age glaciers, then dropped AFTER melting. EDIT: Should have drag grooves on the boulders, if I'm right.

Man that ain't right the 160 needs some new paint, wades Cat din din looks brighter the your valvo and I know you caint have that

[@letswork18work39]

Lucky you move the 160 and the branch didn't land on the cab that's what you call a good operator
