[@OneEyeCustoms]

Thanks for having me over to work on your trails. Really enjoy doing this kind of stuff! And a huge thanks for the shout out to get me to 10K Looking forward to riding on those trails now.

[@marklackey3067]

I’ll post this here for both of you. Why not push the slash to the middle of the clearing and burn it?

[@Clineenergy]

Doug if you like grooming trails I can give you my address!! I could help u get an extra 1 or 2 subs 😂

[@user-scooter1965]

Nice job on those trails Doug.👍

[@GFYYT11111]

11.5k including meeeeee 🎉neighbour 💚🌍

[@fcsturningwoodcraft2933]

Wow. If we were all or had neighbors like Doug can you imagine how much better the world would be.

[@nwngunner]

I truly believe people worry about the entire world way to much. If we all worried as much about our neighbors the entire world would be better. Worry about what we can have an affect on.

[@thereplacementfordisplacement]

Doug treats you like a long time friend. Your KZbin channel is impressive, it has actually delivered a true friend straight to you.

[@GFYYT11111]

Really HaPpY they're Chanels like yours to learn from, understanding the work & reward involved. Thanks for sharing your life💚🌍

[@harleyultra1500]

I've got thousands of hours operating small excavators and track loaders but that 6-way dozer blade still KICKS MY TAIL!!!! Great Job and thanks for sharing!

[@bobfitch607]

Doug is a great friend and a good operator a real jack of all trades. Your a lucky guy

[@TheFirewoodHut]

Adam! You need to give Doug ONE H*LL of a Christmas / birthday present for being the world's #1 neighbor.

[@ANNE-kz6qc]

Just think only a couple years ago some dude wrote a comment on your video saying that he thought he lived behind you... As Humphrey Bogart would have said, Doug I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship.

[@brantz648]

Everybody needs a neighbor like Doug

[@Riverguide33]

Great teamwork guys! That Bobcat of Doug’s is quite capable. Your property cleaned up nicely….enjoy the trails! 👍

[@billh2735]

Adam, what a great friend Doug is. You are lucky to have him as a neighbor and a friend. Bill H from Cranberry Township

[@stevehennessy3588]

I'm a huge fan of Doug and his channel - One Eye Customs! I need a neighbot Doug to help me! You are a lucky guy and also have a great channel. Looking forward to the next video.

[@danielwillliams9669]

44 plus totes of processed wood. Man!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Wow!!!!!!!!!!!! Can't wait to see when all of it is processed! It's amazing how you are doing it all solo! Also, that trail is looking way better after that had heavy equipment plowed through it. Cool video!

[@robertsimons8643]

Two kids ..... a BIG sandbox ...... and Tonka toys !!! What everyone dreams about !

[@Living-The-Dream]

Adam you and Doug really fixed the trails up nicely!! Great work 👍👏🇺🇸 Rick

[@billyhaddock5540]

Thanks Doug for working with Hometown Acres on getting his back road looking better.. great job Doug..

[@TCsOutdoors1]

The trails look great! You are turning your property into something special, I love watching the transformation. Take care-Tony

[@jcwest5964]

It looks great Adam. Great job Doug!

[@chrisbridger3420]

Looks really good... couple good ol boys playing with their toys.... already subscribed to Doug Channel👍

[@timadamany]

I thought you were gonna have one heck of a bonfire with all of the new firewood storage area wood chips that Doug pushed. 🔥🔥🔥

[@robertgiguere7137]

I’ve been subscribed to one eye since you helped him start up his channel.😎

[@rogerhuber3133]

Sure wish I had a "Neighbor Doug"! LOL That Bobcat is an amazing machine.

[@Hilltop0707]

Wow, gotta love that bobcat and blade combo! Awesome job all the way around.

[@jimburge5298]

Adam, I’m a UK Based fan of your channel. I’ve instructed MI6 (our overseas secret service) to come over and kidnap Doug. Love what you’re doing 👍🏻👍🏻

[@DDL2728]

Another great video, Adam!! Riding those trails would be a vacation to me!! ❤ Y'all are wearing jackets...we were 91° yesterday with a feel like of 96° 🥵 God bless y'all 💗 🙏 👍

[@HometownAcres]

I couldn’t do your heat Dianne. I would be inside all day everyday

[@DDL2728]

@HometownAcres We're building a deck with a lean to roof ...🥵😆😆 almost done 🙌💃🕺🏻🙌

[@CavanalK5]

It would be cool if you could modify a way to chute your split cuts directly into a basket. But still such a ridiculously cool process. Enjoying the content! 👊🏼

[@outsidewithrodney8240]

You and Doug have it going on. Everything looks great!!

[@okanagansawmill]

Ive subscribed to Doug's channel, good neighbours are hard to find!

[@harleyfiremedic7796]

That flat spot would make a great spot for a pole barn and a layout for the wood yard.

[@pdoriot]

Wish I had a neighbor Doug…. Nice team work guys.

[@TheRoeshow0324]

That’s a great spot for another barn to store everything! You can never have too much storage

[@harrymills3206]

The trails look awesome! Wishing you both much success on your channels! Great content as usual. Two thumbs up! Watching from Southern Ontario.

[@Deutschehordenelite]

I think Dough made a video about that modified dozer blade, pretty neat

[@OneEyeCustoms]

Sure did! Thanks for watching!

[@randyclyde4939]

Super interesting video! Very glad to hear the comparison breakdown of probable times for the three different machines to accomplish the same work. I thank you both for continuing to entertain and teach at the same time. Kudo's to Doug's channel for doing so well! 10k will be fun to see and great for him! Stay well, stay safe!

[@ghostlincon]

Those trail's look awesome great work guys

[@dereklloyd527]

Doug is way better on a 6 way blade than I am wow, maybe I have too much depth perception I'm guessing? I mean that in jest obviously, I'm subscribed and really like both channels.

[@OneEyeCustoms]

It’s much easier when you can’t see what you are doing. Lol

[@joeystork57]

Another steak dinner for Dog lol!! Stay safe out there Adam!!

[@Mr.frag-out]

bobcat should use this as a commercial for their dozer blades.

[@TheCaptScarlett]

Came for the pond. Stayed for the road building

[@trevorburton2718]

love the log splitter.

[@nebraskawoodstr]

Good vid Adam. I have pile of logs to work on. Trails look great.

[@yellow3222]

That’s a good compost pile

[@markschuette869]

Great job on the trails you two. With regards to the log yard extension, you could maybe give it the "Mike Morgan Treatment" and cover it with some stone, or get a load of course wood chips to combat the mud that comes with "FLAT" ground. Just something to think about!

[@Tobytiesdell]

From the UK, I watched this vid to the end (ish) and then followed what you asked. steak dinner.......

[@artofogre3555]

Wow, some of those root from the two tree stumps could make a face cord of firewood alone. 😮

[@benjaminsagau]

The wood you have there (15 cords)would be enough to warm up my 2540 sq feet house in Denmark for around 12 years.We have similar winters and geography like in Iowa, for reference. Passive house is a really big game changer. I cannot imagine doing all that work only for a winter or two... Crazy.

[@dodgeman658]

Looks good thought you would of piled that brush from the future processing yard and burned to eliminate all that mess. But still looks good! Great to have niebors like Doug, already a subscriber!

[@OneEyeCustoms]

I’m hoping to convince him to burn that pile in the wood yard. I think it would make a huge difference to get rid of that stuff.

[@jameshalliday412]

Agreed!

[@user-scooter1965]

Adam, you and Doug make a great team. Your trail system and wood yard are really taking shape. I was thinking that slash pile would make a great bon fire?

[@rickthelian2215]

Great work guys😊

[@budlite8207]

Nice job Doug! Now all you need is to smooth out the rough edges where they look carved and toss in some grass seed. Will look all natural in a year or so.

[@jacobzimmerman3330]

Every man should own a skid steer. Better not let Mike Morgan watch this video, he'll have a dozer blade for his skid loader in less than a week!

[@Sc-jf3yk]

My dad is 77. We just buy him 10 gallons of diesel and put him a cat. Moms happy hes out of her hair. And when moms happy....

[@jeffpeters1014]

Time to fire up the grill again!

[@georgeanderson3754]

I think you owe Doug ANOTHER dinner!

[@joemurray9131]

going to have to get more totes for all that wood!

[@elneedah3456]

Phenomenal

[@leovogelgesang4398]

I am hoping you are going to plant some grass on your trails. Great video Have a good day

[@jimmieburleigh9549]

You need to put on a splitting party. Have over a bunch of friends 2 3 4 extra splitters and just go to town on that pile and just cook a bunch of food and a keg or 2 of beer. Eat and drink a little during the day and polish off the keg or 2 that night while you party and enjoy a bonfire Only thing that would make that skid steer dozer blade better is if it had a top grapple on it like you see on buckets. Then when it's needed you can move a log or a pile of brush or roots etc.

[@OneEyeCustoms]

I agree on the splitting party!!!

[@DainHanson]

With all of the equipment you have I can't believe you don't have a stump grinder for your tractor. Could have ground down that one stump in 30 minutes without having to disturb all that dirt. Man I wish I was able to get that kind equipment though.

[@jacobbuckley8232]

Trying too turn that bobcat into the Case minotaur lol

[@OneEyeCustoms]

Some day I hope to try one out!

[@jimconnor8274]

Nice upgrade. Skid steer is much lighter and quicker then a dozer.

[@TNT-ml1ll]

We need pond update video please

[@johnwinsemius4423]

Here it goes again ......... More steak and shrimp BBQ dinners....

[@OverlandUnderground]

When you get the trails all squared away you should make road signs for all of the intersections. Give each piece of trail a name like they are individual streets.

[@HometownAcres]

That’s actually a really cool idea

[@OverlandUnderground]

@@HometownAcres Adam Avenue, Doug Drive, Lana Lane, Anderson Alley. You’re on your own for Josie.

[@OneEyeCustoms]

@@OverlandUnderground Josie Jump Street…

[@ninorcsinned3465]

How many acres do you folks have? Love watching all you do!

[@richardwentland3489]

The only thing I’d do different is keep the slashing pile away from the saplings. I believe that is going to be some nice compost if you keep it clean. Might have to spray the edges with some Crossbow otherwise.

[@ethanmattingly7676]

Adam/Doug- did you try making any new trails with the skid dozer blade? I have used a dozer to clear trees but would love to have just one machine if an 82 hp skid with a dozer machine will get the job done instead of having a one truck pony dozer as well

[@jimarsenault849]

awsome trails you might want to add a few water bars on your hills doesnt take much of a rain to destroy your trails

[@ProductiveRecreation]

Trails? Those are like roads! Looks like you could drive your F150 back there. In our woodlot we have “truck roads,” which are trails where you can comfortably drive a pickup, and “tractor roads,” which are trails and old skid roads that are accessible to the tractor, but not trucks. We don’t have any of the equipment you and Doug do beyond a comparable tractor to yours… A tractor beats a shovel, rake and wheelbarrow, hands down!

[@robert.brokaw3829]

Looks like you owe Doug another steak dinner! Stay safe.

[@robertsnyder5193]

Your gonna have to start raising cows so you can keep Doug’s steak bill paid (haha) blessings

[@OneEyeCustoms]

Lol!

[@mattaubele7621]

Felt like I was watching a Cleetus video 😂

[@jimstewart8927]

Adam, I'm that old man that believes box blades make somewhat of a attempt at ballast! The skid-steer vs your tractor, these are guesses and not identified facts! Three times the horsepower. 3 times the weight, 3 times the hydraulic oil flow--8 times the purchase price!! Loaders are a tremendous joy to operate when you learn to work a machine without cutting edge visibility from the seat!!! Enjoy your videos and my other suggestion--DON'T MIND ME!

[@anthonybernstein9698]

How about 2 x 40 foot containers with a large roof spam. Work shops, storage, working in the rain, even cutting firewoon when it is raining

[@rickaser2383]

Have you considered stacking your baskets back to back? would decrease the maneuvering space needed and increase your storage area.

[@johnnywalker5635]

I have a takeuchi tl6r and wonder how a hydraulic, articulating dozer blade will do on it. If my machine is heavy enough or has enough "push" to doze.

[@DocJimms]

Might need a tube in that creek bed?

[@vittoesmith1]

Curiosity. Could you have burned the brush, or is it not permitted in PA.? Once in a while you luck out in life. You definitely lucked out with having a neighbor like Doug. Things are really looking up in your homestead. Keep it up.

[@RockhillfarmYT]

Good video. I’ve been wanting to get a dozer blade for my skid loader but online everyone seems to complain about them not being very useful. Seems like a heckuva tool to me.

[@HometownAcres]

Doug says it’s just way different than a bull dozer in the way you control it but once you get on to it it is very useful

[@tomhoodjr]

Looks like the steak dinner meter keeps moving further into the "Doug" área. Id Have thought it was pegged but it keeps moving more into the Doug zone.

[@nealinator]

Adam, I recently started digging through your channel and catching up on your content. I really like what you have put out so far. Interesting content and well formatted and produced. Good mix of talking and work. My only issue is with my large tv, your 1080p uploads look so blurry with action shots. It makes it frustrating to watch. Looking forward to camera upgrade so you can put out 4k or at least 2k videos. Keep up the great work!

[@HometownAcres]

Thanks for the feedback

[@Clint_Page1]

You guys need ur own hand radios for in your equipment

[@stephaniewilson3955]

I would keep an eye on that trash pile you built at your new yard. It could self-ignite if you do not work it and let it cool off.

[@JimFinlayson]

I saw most of this footage on another channel 😂

[@OneEyeCustoms]

Thanks Jim!

[@thomasmyers8302]

You owe him that steak dinner!

[@Dobbs103]

Did you have the roller on vibrate at all? I was trying to watch and it didnt look like it was and I didn't notice any lights on the dash on. Should help compact it.

[@ajcole5570]

Did you make that sleeve for the forks with the ball to move trailers?

[@blklbluvr]

You might want to look into renting a stump grinder for a half a day to knock that stump down, or not. This way you don’t need to worry about hitting it or running over it.

[@nieldcreek2098]

Where did you get that ball hitch attachment for your forks at the beginning of the video?

[@Technoanima]

It would be cool to turn the root into a resin table.

[@jtonguam]

How do you like the Appalachian trailer? I've been looking at them for a while, but haven't found many reviews of them.

[@russmarchand3962]

Adam, are you planning on adding stone to your trails?

[@brodycampbell2990]

What are you paying per basket? Also do you sell the baskets to the customers or do you just use them for drying purposes?

[@davidshay4773]

Did Doug get his steak dinner yet ?

[@OneEyeCustoms]

Sure did, it is at the end of one of Adam’s recent videos

[@billlively9999]

so you had a small fortune in maple saplings growing n mulched them

[@trevormegson7583]

Peas from the same Pod.

[@kellymcdonald8956]

What make/model is dozer blade?

[@OneEyeCustoms]

Bobcat brand.

[@slamsshenanigans2296]

How come you didn’t push that stuff in expanded wood yard into a pile n burn vs shoving the mess to the corner?

[@HometownAcres]

I will probably burn it once it dries up some more

[@johnnywishbone1349]

Is one of these forward blades easy to damage the skid steer with if you push a bank too hard? There’s gotta be a difference between this and bulldozer…
