Day eleven cleaning up Fiona hurricane damage in my tree lot with KX-040 Kabota excavator.

I sorry but I have to ask why you used a small bucket for the crab and clearing work.

@johnshort7571 it’s easier to just have a small bucket on when I dig stumps out and when I lift logs into the pile, a bigger bucket wouldn’t really be an advantage. Raking the brush up is not a big deal with a small bucket either. A brush rake type bucket would be nice, but then I wouldn’t be able to root out the big stumps. Eventually, I will get something like that but at the moment it’s just something for personal use until I get a larger truck to haul it to differ job sites. At the moment and for the past 20 years, I’ve done Roofing and I just play around with other different jobs. I have a sawmill too, but a lot of this stuff is more hobby and just buying something to help maintain my own property. Also, there’s not a huge advantage to being faster clearing or moving brush because there’s only so much Amanda can cut or limb and I usually do the big stuff with my saw. Someday I’ll get a mulcher and some type of rake attachment for the excavator and probably a chipper for my smaller tractor but those things will come in time.
