2 Beaver Dams Removal With Mini Excavator!

[@thomas6489]

Definitely a labor savor but the roll overs are so nice to watch.

[@Joe-eb9yo]

I appreciate you sharing this method but I enjoy your previous work more! Awesome job! 🇺🇸

[@stevewhite-ko4zj]

Agreed

[@jenniferjohnson7955]

Thank you for a different technique video. Still love watching your manual removal ❤😊 they both get the job done🎉

[@pamela930]

I love watching these types of videos. Interesting and cathartic, I think. Plus, I'm always amazed at how those beaver can pack mud like concrete!

[@Omaivo2904]

Nice to watch but I love your method more ☺

[@stevesteinberg2303]

Wow, that min-excavator is almost as strong as Keni!

[@1959Aeroflyte]

I like the split screen. I also use that for some of my videos as well. In fact I use a quad screen at times. What I have also done with my drone for filming is slow down how fast the camera can tilt/pan etc and how fast the drone can rotate to smooth out the action. This way, if I speed the video up it still looks not bad. Love watching the water rush and flow. Just something soothing about it.

[@JuanitaHundley]

I enjoy watching you remove the dam and the challenge to you. The excavator did a fantastic job and the water had a large force and power. Great vi.

[@jimgraves4197]

That Mini Excavator made short work removing those dams. It looks like a location you have cleared a few times, it certainly looks familiar.

[@Kenislovas]

Yes, Ive been here many times :)

[@jeannewheeldon6796]

​@@Kenislovasmaybe using the excavator here it might stop the beavers rebuilding so quick. I really enjoyed this today, I don't mind which method of removal you use they are both good.

[@rufusmedrano2962]

I was wondering when you were going to use an excavator. Awesome job. But then all your work is awesome

[@saturnia1146]

Great to see it go fast. But I like the suspense and the roll overs better. Keep up the good work Mantis!

[@ThoughtfulWander]

Neat to see how quick it does it but I like your handy work Kenislovas! Keep rolling along! 👍👍

[@Proxtor]

The great thing is an excavator can also bust through ice and frozen dirt, so it can work into the winter and colder months. Just needs a but more reach to knock out the far side. 🦫 🦫 🇨🇦 🇨🇦 🇨🇦

[@RicoD5]

Beaver dam removal Excavator style. Nice to see an almost immediate breakthrough for a change. Your way of working is a lot more satisfying though. Analyzing the dam on how to approach it, slowly breaking its defenses until it subsides to the forces of nature and releases the flow. ASMR at its best.😊

[@69Thylacine]

This is quicker and easier on you, but just watching the dam collapse with anticipation is exciting. Loving the drone work... :)

[@mlj9931]

Very huge amount of the water! 🙂🦫🌊 Great drone footage!

[@dirtfarmer7472]

The fellow on the excavator had you backing up pretty quickly when he 1st broke that dam. I’ll admit that this is maybe quicker but I agree with a lot of the other comments I like the way you do it better. Thank you for this video I’m looking forward to seeing your next

[@Starrynightdiner]

Yes but your removals are more entertaining. ❤❤

[@pentothalman]

Wow! The beavers never saw that coming! Excellent photography, and a different perspective on dam removal. Thank you for the variety.

[@georgesebastian6306]

Excellent split screen and drone usage. Those channels looked too deep to safely attack by hand!

[@bobseldestagain]

I agree that they were probably more dangerous to remove by hand. You might have had a hard time getting up and out of the path of the rushing water because the channels would be pretty deep! Stay safe!!!

[@surfinoperator]

I really really enjoy your beaver dam removal videos, a BiG THKs🤗🤗🤗 for posting this kind of content!!! Unfortunately, I don't like to watch two videos on one screen at the same time, but this is just my personal preference😉

[@catherinelasalle3487]

Man I bet that saved a lot of time and back strain!!! Good job!!!!

[@prestonvaughn2078]

Especially since he was watching/filming from the bank while the excavator operator was performing all of the "lifting". Great video!

[@module79l28]

Judging by its height, the first one would've been a heck of a challenge to remove manually. At least with the excavator the channel bed is now levelled and cleaner. 🙂

[@michaelj3533]

Despite what ppl are saying I thought it was an awesome video. Just wish it was a bit longer. Thanks

[@toddsapulskisr8948]

In the camera needed to be closer

[@Not-THAT-ChrisPratt]

Better? That's debatable. Quicker? Sure. But as so many others have said, your handiwork is much more enjoyable to watch.

[@bernhardpasman157]

Very easy and fast removal of the dam and very effective. A collapse is more impressive. Maybe you can use an excavator in winter time.

[@davidbingham7404]

Mantas awesome video. The mini tractor was unreal, that was a lot faster than doing by hand. Thanks for sharing. 🚜🚜💖💖❤❤❤.

[@PaulHigginbothamSr]

So Mr Kennyslovas needs to bring a manure spreader without the sticks from the beaver dam to spread on the hilltops to enrich the soil.

[@chuckarkens9459]

Certainly makes fast work of that dam!

[@barrygrant2907]

Quick work, but not as cool as your rollovers.

[@kelvingrebert7315]

very slick with a machine

[@tomswindler64]

Enjoyed the change over to the excavator,gives you a chance to do a different perspective on what the removal of the dam is like.great drone work,great photography as always Mantas.just keep doing what makes you happy.great video.be safe 😎😎😎👍👍👍

[@LaurieHuntsinger]

Thank you Ken.

[@brucegoatly]

Definitely effective, but lacking in the subtlety and beauty of the personal touch!

[@regentstreetredfern]

Hi Mantas, yes quick and efficient for the landowner, but you underestimate how much value your commentary adds, to say nothing of the cleverly designed roll-overs you engineer manually. Keep going we love your work.

[@markl3893]

I like that a lot of good soil stays on the farm and doesn't get washed down to the river. Good work, any way you want to do it.

[@vectorm4]

Keni !!! You got a mini excavator? Is this a permanent thing? COOL !!!!!!!!

[@Kenislovas]

Nope.. It's not mine.

[@patbarlen2764]

I do like a bit of excavator action. Thanks.

[@patspc6688]

At first I thought you'd got an excavator !! Quicker but not as satisfying !! Fourteen degrees and cloudy ! 😁🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

[@richardphelan8414]

The Excavator operator knows his stuff ,your split screen with the drone was excellent ,your drone flights point out how bad the condition of the canals are, seems like no one wants the responsibility of taking care of them properly

[@davesalmon2492]

Like the split veiw very inventive 👍

[@楊俊龍-z1d]

That's good job! it's outside chilly.don't make yourself more busy!❤

[@natalieb.8548]

Yay!! An excavator! Oh I bet that felt satisfying! It was great to see you dig deep and clear the water pathway! 💕🇨🇦

[@michaeljamescrangle2264]

Enjoying this as well as manual removal

[@73henny]

The part at the end where the drone follows the water is the most interesting. You can have a unique beaver dam video if you make this part of every video. We want to see where the water goes!

[@jiminmichigan01]

Very groovy! Greetings to all I keep watching the camera on the right side...i don't know why, i just noticed

[@jayraney5483]

I understand why you did the split screen. Like others, I find your videos relaxing and invigorating. Please continue.

[@RobertA-58]

Hey you need one of those. Nice

[@michaelstone446]

Great video, thanks.

[@greghavers821]

really nice!! thanks for this Mantas!!

[@redlock4004]

Oh ya! That's the machine for this job :)

[@DonFlanders-km1hv]

I think it's outstanding that you finally got some mechanical help.

[@ewelina3984]

I wish this excavator made wider channel in both dams. These will be easy and quick for beaver to rebuild. And instead of split screen I agree with someone that it should be one screen, I didn’t know where to watch 😂 still great video, I like a drone view 👍

[@TheRealBigSwede]

You need to get one of them.....

[@teresal5959]

I love to watch excavator s work. Good videos

[@stephenmeeks684]

An interesting video I would watch would be one where beavers are caught, or where beavers are building a dam in those drainage ditches.

[@randyarmstrong5502]

Sometimes you do what you need to do great work

[@dennistennyson4540]

I bet that the dam mud would make good garden fertilizer.

[@happygardener28]

Faster - yes machines are, Those beavers were building faster than you could remove the blockages, as the mud base they were building on was getting larger (wider). But the machines have their problems.

[@geoffreylee5199]

Both ways are best!

[@ezone913]

Look at all the bank dens! @4:28 If you see a beaver size hole in the channel bank, try jamming a camera into it. It could be a food storage den or there might be a beaver inside. LOL Cool video, thanks for sharing. -EZ

[@ezone913]

A remote-control beaver! 🤔 Drive it right on in the den, just to see what the beaver does. 🤣

[@lindaleal809]

@@ezone913 fight or flight?

[@74_Green]

Definitely LOTS of ditch clearing and digging needed there.

[@joebennefield3368]

You guys done a great job on the dam's good 👍👍👍👍👍

[@tuckerdale-g4u]

Interesting. But I like your way better, I understand much more difficult for you. 👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@frankbevan413]

You so need this piece of equipment

[@florencepriddy5699]

Wow! Fast removal! 😮

[@84com83]

You have shown different methods! - Different costs? - Which one do You prefer?

[@Kenislovas]

I like both ;)

[@johnkranz4004]

Very KOOL Video

[@raybame5816]

This appeared to be almost all mud with few sticks. Interesting construction by them little guys. I think the shovel was good to use as the mud was too thick for u to easily do. Also you get into areas that the excavator couldn't get to so each method has value. Thanks for the video. Split screen with drone very nicely done,

[@CurtisWarnasch]

I have watched a lot of your videos and it seems to me that all the canals need serious maintenance to clean them out. But then we wouldn't have your amazing videos to watch. Have a great day and keep up the great work.

[@ragegiant]

Can you make it collapse and just start with an excator?

[@gilbert0201]

Very nice drone views!!

[@mattevans7884]

Brute force is more time efficient and aggressive, but I prefer your more elegant, measured approach to this...........

[@mandyrobinson8353]

Thank you for a slightly different video Mantas.

[@SkySoldier-y4u]

Great simultaneous cameras.

[@YukonHawk1]

Great video. Nice change of pace.😊

[@James-zj9ky]

Now that's what I call a super duper pooper scooper. Thanks for posting this video

[@doug1030]

Thats what you need Kenislovas.

[@Vamosempacadores]

Not a fan of the 2 screens but I love your other content.

[@GeneMusall]

That excavator made short work of those dams. But I still like the rollovers you get by applying your technique.

[@victorjohnson2093]

Great Footage 😊

[@leesmith4655]

No where near as satisfying as watching you do it Mantas but still a great video, thanks for the variety 👍

[@melissalovesnature3370]

Very relaxing!

[@elbertlim2872]

That's a lot of mud to do it manually. I love the usual removal, but this is also great.

[@zefcha4670]

i enjoyed the video but the split screen made me dizzy when you filmed downstream.

[@LeeD74]

My god that looks so satisfying!! I'm clearly in the wrong job.

[@apc108]

I'm sure with a little practice, he could learn the art of making the dam collapse!

[@JamesAllmond]

This is REALLY gonna make the beavers mad!

[@kc7brj]

I like the split screen.

[@DanyDanielle2]

Hello ! It's a lot faster but far less interesting to watch than by hand !

[@jfree4513]

Congrats on your new work toy!

[@Kenislovas]

It’s not my✌️

[@christopherort2889]

Cool video as always. Stay safe out there.

[@jayh1947]

Thank You bu I do like your manual method better. And you do not have to pay for the excavator.....................Jay

[@modularmuse]

Nice. Easy-to-follow views.

[@marvinthompson8870]

Fun to watch but I miss your skill in making the dams collapse. That is your trademark.

[@markreetz1001]

Is that your new "rake/shovel"? It seems very efficient. lol!👍

[@acdallas6356]

Have they ever let you drive the excavator? I'd like to see that video!!! 😺

[@Kenislovas]

I didn't ask them :)

[@stacyharvey3554]

Seeing a beaver dam removal with an excavator was cool!! I really liked the view from above the dam with the drone. You should make sure to have a tri pod for your phone or the camera on the ground so you can concentrate on flying the drone. Even without that you did an excellent job and it was nice to watch!

[@christopherclarke9316]

Efficient - Certainly; Quicker - most certainly; not I think as visually appealing as watching a dam succumb to your efforts Mantas.

[@BRI33NOR]

Perhaps quicker and perhaps more efficient, but it's not as much fun.

[@debrasellers5401]

Regardless of the method, it still amazes me the power of water!
