Hurricane Clean Up with Rotochopper!

[@SLCFarms]

Great video bud. Hope your having a great vacation

[@TheRealMrDiGG]

Thanks! Cold one in my hand on the beach as we speak! 🍻

@17:30 They are pine beetle traps. They are used to monitor/reduce populations so they don't start killing off the pines.

[@carolsterling8476]

Move over AI. You will never top what an intelligent, skilled human can accomplish with a well loved and well maintained machine. Love it! Way to go Rotochopper!

[@sccolbert]

Heck of a an operator to notice the missing tooth and react that fast!

[@TheRealMrDiGG]

Thank goodness

[@cathiwim]

He was paying close attention- all your operators do!

[@BobCthegardener]

You've got some seriously good equipment operators bud, I know you appreciate them because you always tell them so. Good job!

[@TheRealMrDiGG]

Appreciate it, they are the best!

[@durgan5668]

Good work being done, glad to see it. Also glad to hear the chipped material is being sold, not just thrown away. I watch another channel in NC and he was saying it's all just taken to landfills. I'd think they'd want to make some money off it, and help pay for running the counties up there.

[@bigfred1696]

Slo-mo off that belt was cool

[@chadanddyson6200]

Yes it was!

[@coaterdave]

Always fun watching the B66 at work. Happy New Year and Happy Vacation!! Well deserved.

[@TheRealMrDiGG]

Happy New Year to you too!

[@beaverc2884]

This is just my opinion. You could have all the fancy equipment technology could offer, but it's your skilled crew that gets it all done. Happy Holidays. 😊😊

[@TheRealMrDiGG]

Absolutely - the crew is the heart of any operation!

[@t.c.3762]

Pine bark beetle traps. Plastic forest insect multi funnel. Used for trapping invasive insects that harm the trees. 🇨🇦

[@Monkeysic]

As someone who owns thier own sawmill I wanna cry seeing all that pine saw logs go into the grinder lol. I am a 1 man show and could certainly make use of that pine. But trucking to PA would be a bit much lol.

[@waterchickenwoodworxbydanb42]

I was thinking the same, no saw Mills would or take the wood

[@TheRealMrDiGG]

My cousin has a saw mill. I’m going to take y’all to see it soon

62F here now. nice camera views from the equipment. the invention/use of hydraulics sure changed the world. you seem to have a talent for camera placement. i doubt you have any spare time but you seem like a good candidate for film school.

[@raymondgochenour8725]

I know that the horizontal grinders worked faster than the tub grinders but as many stumps as you have at the different locations would a tub grinder ever be in your future I think they work better for the stumps not really sure. Enjoy your videos as always.

[@jamespapandrea8979]

A shear would be nice for those stumps.

[@charleswelch249]

Hi Ryan, Happy New Year to you, family & site crew. I spend most of the day cutting downed logs from last years hurricane/ tropical storms. Several hours cutting to split and stack for firewood sales that I expect to increase Jan. 8 for a few days with COLD weather being forecast for N. Fla.

Stay warm friend! Sounds like you're gonna be busy!

Kobelco doesnt appear to be quite as fast(responsive) as Volvo, but it gets the job done! Probably a smaller price tag too!

[@jjjustin17favs]

Will the loader put the final clean up debris into the shredder?

[@TheRealMrDiGG]

They burned the stumps and dirty material

[@DavidHunter-in4en]

There's people who don't like rotatorchopper but I love them simple strong and dependable I operated the blue brand had to rebuild the inside of the machine put new feed chain just totally rebuild it at around 3500 hours $80,000 Had to rebuild the router hopper indeed around 4500 hours $30,000 I think no need to rebuild the inside just do your hard facing occasionally

[@TheRealMrDiGG]

I think they are an awesome company!

[@DavidHunter-in4en]

@TheRealMrDiGG I agree with you 😊

[@jburk8600]

[@TheRealMrDiGG]

We did it!!!

[@Sean-i4r]

Great job btw

[@marcusbootle6410]

.... would the Hydraulic screw bust up those stumps so they would fit through the rotochopper? ....or is it that the stumps don't make good mulch?

[@TheRealMrDiGG]

Yes it will

[@robertboissey2758]

Watch Lee Powell drone. He does flyovers of all the debris fields and disposal near Augusta I think.

[@TheRealMrDiGG]

Thanks for the tip! I'll have to check him out.

Couple minutes

[@jerrykelly7052]

[@bubbawubba2307]

Look like a bug trap. Those little bags are probably a smell to lure them in. We have similar traps for Japanese beetles

[@keithruss1925]

george of the jungle got ahold of the drone controls

[@barrymcguyer6206]

I bet the sand and dirt are hell on that thing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@TheRealMrDiGG]

Yup!

[@dankenney7827]

Maybe it's just me but some of those stumps seem to have a lot of log left on them that could be cut off and run through the machine. Of course that's hand labor and a lot slower and you're into production mode. Me, I just want to get every bit of whatever it is to get. I'm an old scraper that would make Abe scream just to make sure I've got it all.

[@phud9657]

👍👍

I don’t know why you wouldn’t grind stumps, I ran a grinder for 5 years and we ground stumps along with rest of tree. You do need split the stumps and that clean dirt off. I split them trackhoe just using the bucket and teeth like a splitting wedge

I can't understand why there's no market for the logs off these trees. I mean; just look at the price of even the cheapest C16 construction lumber!

[@AppliedOCD]

Great video! My guess on the mystery device is some kind of pine beetle trap. The 2 baggies probably contain a sex attractant and/or possibly a scent attractant as well.

[@TheRealMrDiGG]

That's a good guess!

[@roesmith5492]

🤔🤔There's a reason your names mr digg and not the tree doctor, I don't think that's the way you supposed to top a tree, no drones where injured in the making of this video🫣🫣🫣

Idk about other people but any equipment that I buy the dealer stickers come off, no need to have a giant one on the counter weight. Looks tacky

[@jays106]

too bad you don't have enough trucks to be able to load directly from the shredder right into the trailer but then again that thing probably fill a trailer in seconds! you probably need 20 trucks to keep up!
