Helping On An 8 Acre Pasture Clearing

[@HughzieTube]

That cab guarding is getting more use during hauling than it is on the job site clearing!

[@The250wtf]

That is a hell of a load for that pickup!!!!

[@busdr2]

Lol! I am a 72yr old woman. Always wanted to drive these big machines! Sadly, the closest I got was a big yellow school bus for 27 yrs lol! Love your videos!

[@jbrrd2442]

Damn fellas,I'm gonna see that burn pile burning clear from Chesapeake Va. Good job fellas,horses will love it

[@jameswilliams1106]

You should do a “recap” video of all the ponds and pastures you’ve built. Just to see how they’ve turned out.

[@jumpaydj]

I support

[@dan243811]

I'd like to see what the animal hospital site looks like

[@sunnyqzado3455]

Yes i would love to see what some of those ponds you worked on look like after a year or two.

[@mslorry3420]

Enjoy you running the dozer. I watched your technic in moving the debris yet not the soil. Very well done. Excellent work as always!

[@vickikeeler2597]

So glad you included the drone shots. That’s a job!

[@steveperry2314]

Great video….lol. Your windshield almost had a couple of close encounters with a pine log. If had been me, I would have had broken glass everywhere in the cab and new fresh pine scent air fresheners!

[@jwg19444]

👍Must have been tough for your buddy to get that first acre cleared; at least he'll have a little more room to move and stack as he moves through the remaining project. Nice teamwork. Thanks for sharing.

[@roseannvolrath2271]

Helping friends is great

Chris, you sure make raking with the bucket teeth look easy. Years of practice no doubt.

[@timmyfrierson2684]

You’re exactly right Jake, my thoughts for sure

[@jcgoogle1808]

Yeah, the fanboys are pretty protective of Chris, cause before Chris came along, no one knew how to operate equipment.... And they still don't.

[@jennifersmith842]

thats a fact hun hope you doing good

[@jasonmckee5030]

When I first saw his thumb I didn't think it would bite good but after watching him operate a little bit it looks like it does purty good actually. Enjoyed the video man!

The Dozer load is with this trailer light. The street in the wood is narrow. The video from the Drohne let have a idea wath is to working. The Dozer ho great however power under your hands. The clearing material is to 70 % Pinie wath to happen with her in front?? Tanks your help is the place speedy clearing. Thanks to this video i not know that Pinien to grow in NC Thanks again wath learning.

I thought using the Rake was the way to go 🥰👍 also a pond would look good😁👍 great watch my friend

That’s going to be some brush fire, would like to see how that goes

Now you know where to get parts for your 220 when it breaks down again.

[@sydneymcconnaughhay5947]

That's funny

[@thomasingramfarms230]

Really cheap if he goes after dark 😂

[@davidnull5590]

No, no, no. You just don't take the parts that you need from someone else's Volvo 220 ... that would be so wrong... you swap the broken parts from your 220 with someone else's 220, he'll never notice. Let the other guy pay the Volvo dealer to fix the machine.

[@maryschillinger2909]

All good choices here. I'd go with the last one. Swaps out parts. BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Hey Chris !!! Great 2 hr. job for you 2 !! Looking a whole lot better than when you showed with the Drone !! Anyhows,, What about your ""VOLVO"" as any repairs made yet ?? Have a good week & What a Bonfire he will have !! WOW !!!

Going to be interesting to see what they do with the ash.

That’s a beautiful view from the air Chris and I would love to be able to visit some of North Carolina. I’m 67 years old and if I can ever get a chance and can afford a visit I want to see North Carolina although I don’t have any idea how or where would be a good place to go I do so want to

Just from watching the tube I noticed a few things first one is Chris is one of the fastest bucket moving people on this tube.

[@nineoclockhero]

Hearing that bucket and thumb, I couldn't help thinking someone should have brought a new grease gun a while back!

[@hendersonlandworks6158]

Still think you should have a brush gaurd put on top of the root rake to keep brush and pine trees from going over the blade. Ours has one and helps a lot

[@foghornleghornish]

Glad they're leaving some trees albeit needing a lot of management. Another day, another pasture.

[@jeffryshadwick1798]

Sucks that you guys out east are getting soaked and us folks on the west are getting burned :(. love your vids keep them coming!!!

[@johndenardo2184]

Nice video as always, I am a drone flyer so I do like it when you do the aerials with yours.👍🏽 I see from reading some of the other comments people are interested in seeing some of the jobs you do after there complete, maybe some flyovers of the pods when they are full? that may be a cool video when you have time 😎

[@johnbeck9997]

Seems a root rake on the skid steer would be nice to help you with the small stuff. Always look forward to your videos. Thank you

It looks like you may have 3 loose bolts on top of your dozer blade near the center pivot.....Great video!

[@SMSabriIsmail]

A bit further down Chris replied to - Badgermatt75 2016 7 hours ago Chris, it's bugging the crap outta me, is that bottom left bolt on the center pivot on the blade loose or is it supposed to stick up an inch?

Great video Chris! But I think you're buddy needs some tutoring on stacking brush for a burn pile!

[@jennifersmith842]

hello alan how are you doing

[@richdillon2157]

Chris, I can tell you that Pine trees and Horses don't mix. Pine trees are Natures Lightning Rods. When we bought our place, I cut every Pine Tree down and pulled the stumps. A old Horseman told me one time that as tall as you see a pine tree, that is how far the tap root goes in the ground, so as the saying goes Natures Lightning Rod. And being here in Florida in the circle of Lightning Alley, I don't play with lightning.

[@Benson_aka_devils_advocate_88]

That's one way to check the load rating on your trailer!

[@d6joe]

It’s bad when you need a forestry kit on the dozer to get down the driveway.........

[@george8873]

Your buddy needs to get himself an AMI LD18 thumb if he wants to be one of the cool kids. 😉 Also, wonder if you secretly judged him for his burn pile stacking ability. Then again, you probably told him any opinion you might have, lol.

You're killing me with that music, Chris. Dang near blew my earphones off.

[@jsbounds27]

Chris, you got a bolt backing out on the center pivot mount on your dozer blade.

[@williambryant5946]

If dude is gonna burn all that at one time it better be monsooning some rain when he does or the rest of the pine trees still standing gonna be burning too. I'm surprised Chris hasn't advised him differently. It will make for good video content though with them running around through the woods trying to put the fire out. 👍

[@evldvl1]

Awesome video, well done!!

[@mikeyb5581]

Hey Chris, no disrespect intended, but that maybe the same excavator as yours, but after watching for a short time, I could tell it wasn't you operating. But still a good video.

[@stantodd2769]

Sure can tell the difference in how you attack your stages of clearing and sizing debris for ease of stacking.

Exactly why you need to buy big rusty off of me. He’ll keep trusty rusty company and you can randomly move the dozer around 😊

[@jeffreyhouston2043]

[@markpashia7067]

Man that looks like one hell of a huge pile to put a flame to all at once. Hope the burn goes safely. However if it stayed within the firebreak and only burned the center, it would speed up the clearing of the other acres! Too much risk and too much to ask but one hell of a blaze. Too bad that it could not be chipped for generator fuel like they do up north, but the trucking miles would make it worthless. As a nation we might need to rethink things a bit and put trash and chip burners in more areas to avoid the wasted burns like this and at least recover the energy for our grid system. Land fill space is not forever and biomass should not be wasted like this but I get it. Just has to add up money wise or it goes to waste. Hey Chris will you film the BBQ for us???
