[@mikeknoll1130]

Thanks for giving us pricing details it adds a lot, you were very light for that much work. It looks like you hit the jackpot with that Gehl skid steer that has turned into quite a work horse.

[@Poppi2006]

Even for an armchair supervisor, this was a very satisfying video.

[@timbo1961]

That Samsung is a beast! Tackled that big stump with ease.

[@galewinds7696]

I tell you Jesse, you are a go-getter, I remember that energy when I was younger, you do excellent work.

[@derrillbalshaw1199]

That was a good save at 1:18:43. The tree house was going to be a direct hit, but you just nudge it enough at the last second to divert it. Phew that was lucky.

[@Watchyn_Yarwood]

It started when he let off pressure on the tree. He backed off just a tiny bit which let the tree decide where it wanted to go. Steady unrelenting pressure would keep it under control.

[@markbrown6236]

That was experience that turned a disaster into a save. Well done.

[@IGDZILLA]

@@markbrown6236 I think the take away experience from that is to not risk it again. Luck is fine until it runs out.

[@JJ-gd7gf]

You have some happy children. Feel blessed and proud about that.

[@rockeerockey6941]

Jesse, your content is always interesting 😊 Thanks

[@wileycoyotesr8623]

Good to see the hauler still working so well for you. 👍 All of the 1/2 circle arched tubing looks like a future greenhouse. Am liking how you use fast forward.

Nice vid ,You and Pat work really good together.

[@DavidGawel]

When Pat says "GOOD!" Always makes my daughter and me laugh. Thank you for the vid.

[@quixstation145]

nice work on the 4 ft. stump , came out easy, amazing how machinery can make a weeks work into a few hours work loved it , great vid

Keep up the great content, always look out for my favourite channels next content and you’re one of them 👌🏻

[@rhondasweeney7271]

I absolutely love the clean-up Thank you for sharing 😊

[@harrytaylor6854]

Yes a lot of work looks good well done guy's thank you for sharing

[@donnal.oglesby4806]

Jesse, you and Pat did an awesome job at this site, considering it took 3 days to get all done. I was watching where you pushed over that one rotted tree by the tree stand, and all I could see was it going the wrong way, and you stopping it at the last seconds form hitting that tree stand, and all my husband could hear out of me was OMG!!! Husband Paul looked up and I replayed it for him, and he just looked at me, and said, Close!. Look forward to the log cabin build, after you finish your home. Be interesting to see how you plan to update the small cemetery there, and keep it [ Which I feel you should out of respect for those buried and laid to rest there. Sure you can come up with a beautiful way to up date it. You really lost money doing this job, but didn't figure on two day clean up either. WOW!! Video was Amazing, but all of yours are. The work on this, and also the sharing of this, appreicated. Thank you. Look forward to the next one.

[@jmuller86]

thanks, yea I wont be disturbing that cemetary. The cabin build will be up in the adirondacks, but it wont be a log cabin just all sawmill material

[@abdillin]

Log cabin build? Hmmmm interesting.

[@jdgibs3446]

I continue to enjoy the time lapse. The job was costly for you. The customer hopefully was satisfied with the end result. Finished product looks good and perhaps some perpetual future work. Keep the videos coming. Praying for your wisdom, peace, health, strength, safety and success. Blessings to you, family, employees and customers. ☝️🙏🙌💪🎯... my final addendum would be...😲 G O O D! 😀👍

[@robertironside3166]

Love seeing that new Thumb in action on the big girl there :-) Great stuff!😎👍👍

[@keithdalton3004]

Need learn how to use the thumb 😊

[@scoobydoo5925]

This job was harder than it would seem with the proximity to the other trees and buildings, you made it look easy!

[@AW-Services]

Teamwork makes the Muller dream work. Another impressive video Jesse

Hey Jesse I enjoyed the old school 70s music, keep up the good work.

[@annechristiansen941]

Tusen takk for god underholdning 👍🤗👍

You and that machine did excellent work. thanks for sharing.

[@sylviaprudhomme5417]

Really looks nice. Really cleaned up well😊😊😊😊

[@allanpeters4403]

Interesting video Jesse - Thank You!!

[@robertn2813]

Great video J . The customer got a sweet deal . Very lucky on that boom rub on that tree too huh , never mind saving the tree stand . Could have been very costly .

[@daddybob6096]

Just love that gearbox Jesse, split changing takes me back to when i was 18 to 20yo. I'm 83 now. Admire your get up and just do it, nothing is impossible. Uncle Bob. NZ.

[@how_to_hallagon1]

It's nice that you care enough about the customer to fill in the stump holes with dirt. My dad hired a guy to do 2 acres of stumps and us kids had to go out with hand shovels and fill in all the holes with dirt.

[@randallcaldwell4611]

What an amazing video!😀🇨🇦

[@randallcaldwell4611]

Wow! It is always so great to see someone who actually knows what their doing and how to do it correctly! Thank you Jamie for the video.😀🇨🇦

[@jackwalker3582]

Jesse Jamie, close enough.

[@blackbuttecruizr]

Great work! Might be time to add a stump grinder to your stable!!!

[@Bluecollarspartan92]

Thanks for the awesome video and info.

[@edgarplummer6750]

This is some of the sharpest video I've seen on YT - nice job, nice camera.

[@leonvdm]

the big stump looked big.

[@ocean1233]

MASSIVE STUMP!! STEEP SLOPE‼️ EXCELLENT JOB 💯

[@ocean1233]

Where are you located??

[@SciPunk215]

Hopefully there's some good value in the lumber from some of those logs.

[@jrehtil1494]

Great job Jesse and Pat

[@poo2764]

Thank you, great video as always.☘🍀

[@barryrollins2728]

Those pines should you a fair amount of board ft of lumber! 😂🎉

[@johnb.2936]

That Samsung excavator has some power. Not bad for an older excavator.

[@tonygriffiths2485]

I have watched you for five hours today and loved every minuye of it. Good job you don't charge me for it, or I would be broke now :) Talk about reasonable when you tote it all up .... WOW. Great value for money, am sure the customer is very happy, but then again you are virtually part of the estate anyway with all the work you and your excellent crew have put into it. All the best on the next job. Still singing "got yourself a thumb" :) (The Sopranos)

[@billyhaddock5540]

Congrats Jesse, on knocking down alot of trees and cleaned-up ur customers place.

[@magnumardent]

Really hope that you, Andrew or Matt could get a shredder...great upload, outstanding channel, thanks, man!

[@25vrd48]

The customer got a great deal and the outcome looks great . You work too cheap but you have a repeat customer that will continue to have work for you . Possibly when you need the money coming in . Rule of thumb , don't burn the bridges behind you . Great video . I remember the house job , thought y'all would never get through such a cold hard job . Great video .

[@uncle_moose]

Yay, sunglasses and trucking. 👍

[@lancemitchell7883]

That machine is a beast!

[@brentking-gmailking2570]

Great job and grear video Jesse.

[@Interviewc]

If you’re doing a lot of tree work you might want to consider a Drum Mulcher attachment it would allow the clean up work to be the quick part of the job and it provides nice mulch instead of leaving large piles.

[@howardcorgnell7282]

Especially for pine People don't have a clue what your overhead costs is even if it's all paid for between maintenance repairs fuel and labor and what always surprised Me is a lot People overlook the fact you have to draw a pay Check yourself so if you under big a job that really hurts because it gets deducted from You every one else still gets paid l it is shocking How many customers overlook that nice job it looks great !!!

[@jamesdiffily8389]

Thanks Jesse, great video.

[@kevineleven5610]

Lots of work, well done

[@zachtaylor8309]

Good video. Any small business is gonna come out making less than they should on most jobs. Just part of it and what it takes to keep customers and get work.

[@3cl1]

Another great video, stay safe.

[@barryrollins2728]

The little Ford closed cab backhoe is like l had in late 70s and early 80s . I did with it what you're doing in this video. Your trackhoe seems to work well .

[@pshodean]

Great video ad thanks for talking about billing. I don't know that I'll hire out much, there is plenty of excavator / skid steer work to do on my farm. Maybe one day.

[@josianrodriguez1249]

SALUDOS JESSE FROM DELTONA FLORIDA ANOTHER GREAT VIDEO AS ALWAYS. G.B.Y.A.

Awesome to see the thumb get put to work.

Great team work

[@stevehaken]

The Samsung is a beast!

[@markreetz1001]

Good work Jesse.

[@FarmCraft101]

Nice work. Man I want that excavator. What year/model is it? What would the price tag on something like that be? Exciting at 1:19:00 when that rotted tree tried to fight back.

[@jmuller86]

I bought that machine for 20k and it came with a parts excavator too. Both were delivered to me for 20k and it really didnt need anything other than a bucket. Its been a good machine. It really is a volvo, and its got the cummins 4bt 3.9 turbo in it

[@FarmCraft101]

@@jmuller86 Man, how do you find a deal like that?? I'll keep looking...

[@jmuller86]

​@@FarmCraft101i look on marketplace every night. I am looking for another excavator about the same size to bring up north into the adirondacks and leave on a 32 acre piece of property I plan to build an off grid homestead on. This samsung is a 130 se LC2. Around 28,000 lbs. It is like a 2001 I think

[@SWResto]

Building brush up against garage hill is a inviting place for rats , mice ect.

Nice work it was a bit of intense moment with wok three.

[@yatidaum7980]

job well done

Soooo many things need to work and function correctly to even get started ! ! !

Good job on Knock them down them trees You did a heck of a job It's a nice point I wouldn't mind having them from myself now you know what I'm saying Again nice job enjoy the video so stay safe have a good day

[@gingerkeith]

Jesse, The bucket is almost a ballet performer with your skill.

[@mobilexcavator2323]

Amazing 👍

[@TheKajunkat]

Your buddy (Pat I believe you finally called him after multiple years of wondering his name, haha) cutting off that 30 inch pine with that makita battery saw was impressive. Did he actually cut the whole stump off with it or are you doing a little hollywood magic?

[@paddyroach]

I did. Although the saw kept stopping because the batteries were getting pretty warm but it did manage cut the whole thing. I was very surprised how it cut

[@pmiller7886]

​@@paddyroachalways good to see you in the videos Pat!

[@josephking6515]

1:18:43 _No no no no_ ............................... *Jesse for the save!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!* 🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳 Nicely done! 👍

[@Guysm1l3y]

Is the differential steering for the tracks messed up on that excavator? Or are you just doing the "lift and pivot" turning to avoid making ruts?

[@jmuller86]

saving on ruts but also it reduces wear on all the undercarriage components

[@Wrenchen-with-Darren]

Well done 👍

[@mykalmcb]

That new thumb came in handy for this job. One of the things I have always admired about you and Andrew is how well you clean up your worksite.

[@its9429]

Something satisfying about watching hydraulics at work.

[@terrancesnyder9323]

GOOD MORNING

[@marcruel9401]

Thanks much for sharing!

[@jjohnson2553]

As I was watching the video I was thinking about the amount of work and equipment involved and guessing at what you might charge on a job like this. I've been retired for several years and am not at all familiar with how prices have gone up with time and inflation so I figured I'd likely be way off. My final estimation was 3-4 thousand. I was way off on my estimation of what a skid steer and excavator with operators would cost per hr. Thanks for including that info on the job. Most youtube channels don't discuss that part of the job and I know a lot of people are curious about that sort of thing.

[@grahammctygue724]

Could be lands man having homes for the many animals wow job well done

[@morgansword]

Sometimes its not all about the money. That said, what you learned is value as well. I hope you get something from it all down the road

[@freetolook3727]

Just imagine two hundred years ago this all had to be done by hand!

[@Sjanzo]

My family bought their own horse in 1958, had to sell it in 1959 due to a terrible drought. Before that, they borrowed a horse for the cart, but they developed the last acres of forest into farm in the 30s by hand. Only contractors who worked on large governmental construction projects could afford dozers and draglines, though the canal near my house was still dug in the 50s by shovels and rail trolleys.

[@alphonsotate2982]

Nice job😍😍😍😍😍

[@adrianhowley7754]

Power plant in the Samsung a 12 valve Cummins??love the content! Also in Hudson Valley plumber by trade but ❤️heavy equipment

[@bunk822]

Nice work

[@rogertucker6662]

You have it alot easier where you live with the rocky ground . We don't have any rocks here in Illinois just black dirt and clay. Our stumps are really in there with deep roots.

[@BWIL2515]

Thanks for the pricing info I was thinking about how much you charge per man and machine hell split the difference with him 8 grand and the original 3 final 5500 seems very fair to me

[@coyotiess]

GREAT WORK DAYS!

[@IronGears.186]

good video

[@johnpyle8027]

That was totally $8k worth of work and throw a few more in for the tree save! In this day and age if I was in your line of work I wouldn't even load my equipment for two or three grand with fuel and time.

[@MySynthDungeon]

Coffees on!!! Cheers!;-)!!

[@2491kridge]

Do you ever do any currier work with your truck? Like out of curiosity what would you charge someone to pick up an excavator of this size and transport it 20 miles for them?

[@jmuller86]

I dont do any work like this but I have a guy that does transport and it is usually $400 minimum , its $150/hr from his shop back to his shop. so probably 500 for 20 miles

[@AaronTheViking250]

Nice job but personally id grab or keep a chainsaw on hand so that way if need be u can limb off as many branches off so that way its less damaging to surrounding live trees and easier to pull the deads out and wear and tear on equipment.

[@clintdaniel9260]

nice beginner toys guys
