HORNETS AND CORNFIELDS! Mulching Around A Corn Farm

Instagram: IDigIt4
We are mulching some overgrown areas around a corn farm, in the process I hit a large nest of bald-faced hornets and made them quite upset, luckily I noticed them and was able to stay in the cab of the machine. Despite that, everything turned out pretty good on day one of this job!

Nice little job mate. Well done 🤙😎🇦🇺

[@jackmeeker6194]

Yeh, they look like bald faced hornets. They're nasty too and very protective of their turn. One stings and that signals all the others to attack. Glad your cab is completely enclosed. Great video. I enjoy watching your projects.

[@idigit4967]

Yeah the enclosed cab is such a blessing in this line of work for sure! They definitely would have been after me had I gotten out of the cab!

Hey I'm really enjoying the vids. Nice looking work on this job! One thing I wouldn't go without is AT LEAST 1 can of wasp/hornet spray in the cab of each vehicle. Wouldn't want to start any trouble but it would sure be nice to have something to end any!! Keep those vids coming! 👍

The Skid Steer is a great machine for about anything but huge trees. Great invention.

Yeah it is, it can mow down some small brush for sure!

Absolutely that is a bald faced hornet...way worse sting than those bumblebees that got you ...stay away from those hornets !!! Good job,Job, Privett was really thick..lot of China berry in it too !

Thanks Gary! Yeah that stuff was thick on that corner and on that ditch! You don't have to tell me twice to stay away from hornets and bees!

[@jenniferadams1225]

Yes they are bald faced hornets

[@Logscaler]

FYI, Those Bald Face Hornets prey on Yellow-jackets, they will invade their nest and clean them out. Myself, I would rather have the Bald Face ones around.

[@BackyardEngineer334]

Just curious with the amount of money you have tied up in your equipment, maintenance, fuel etc, how long did it or would it take to pay for itself???

[@troyledbetter6597]

Great video! I really enjoyed it! Everything looks so nice after the clean up!

The first patch you did. I think it would have been cool to make a tunnel to come out into those woods. that would have been cool I think.

[@pamelaprudencio8115]

It is a baldface hornet that type is some mean motor scooter.

[@buddystewart2020]

You would not want to be standing anywhere close by that. You'd catch a 8 inch long slinter in the head going 600mph.

Thanks Jeff! I finished the job today with the skid steer, should hopefully have that vid up on Saturday so stay tuned! There was some wicked brush cutting to do in that other area! A piece of brush flew out and destroyed the tripod tho LOL!

[@robertmoore8705]

You should film sharpening the cutters....

[@stephenc2296]

Not a big Kubota fan. Notice that when moving the boom or swinging the head slows. I don’t think that they perfected the proportioning system even on the high flow. Also, spin up takes too long. Maybe I’m bias because I ran an 040 for a couple of years... Don’t get me wrong, the operator is great. Too bad the equipment doesn’t keep up with him.

[@BimaSakti-jm7up]

Good.

[@jerryegibbs1543]

it looks like a balled faced hornet, I always called them bald headed. also they can sting till you die unlike the hone bees. le timer

Why don’t you mulch the stumps closer to the dirt. I would worry it would puncture my tractor tires driving over the finished product. Or maybe you are and the video doesn’t show it very well.

[@williambryant5946]

That's a bald face hornet. They're black and white and not actually a hornet they are a wasp. Only one kind of hornet in and around SC are the big european hornets that people mistakenly call japanese hornets. The ones that are big as your thumb or bigger and their body is yellow and brown with reddish brown wings and their head is yellow around their eyes. Scary looking bastards. The bald face hornets aren't all sweet looking though. I hate bees too.

@@gailatkinson1908 My grandfather was stung on his shin when he was in his 40s by one of those european hornets. He had a scar till the day he died that looked like a moon crater where it got him. Had his leg propped up on the side of the boat going down the river and it got in his pant leg. He said he grabbed it and squished it as soon as it hit him. Said it hurt worse than anything he'd experienced and that coming from a man that didn't use novocain at the dentist to have teeth pulled out. I don't want no part of those suckers.
