Land Clearing Job Part 1 of 3- CAT Excavator Pushing Trees Over!
This is the first video of a three part series of a land clearing job I was hired to do. I rented a Cat excavator to help on this job. Stay tuned for more rental equipment in parts two and three!

Oh the joys of the older cat thumb controls 🤣 In my previous life when I ran my own business, had a 315 with the same set up. It's like everything else, you get used to it enough where you can track with one foot, joystick with your hands, and thumb control with your.othet foot! Almost as nerve wracking as the Texas two step on my track loader now😁🤦😁😁 Looking excellent mt Chris, can't wait to see part two, and the other machine😁 Pretty cool to be able to leave the debris on site, those stumps can be a pain to haul and very time consuming! Thank you for bringing us along look fwd to more sir!

I think it would take me a bit to get used to driving/steering with one foot 😂 Yes, it was great to leave the debris there, but you will see a complication that happened on the next video!

@@dehavenfamilyfarm 😁😁 It does take a bit to get used too, oh my....can't wait to see!

Always fun running a machine you aren't familiar with. Makes you appreciate your own.. Doing it on the cheap is always fun too🙄

[@dehavenfamilyfarm]

It sure does! I was very happy to get back in my excavator 🙂 Thanks Ed!!

This video makes me to can't wait for part 2, great job so far Chris

Thanks Jan- Part two on Thursday 🙂

It seems that the best way to handle these jobs if time is a factor is to have two machines as you said. If you have two people it goes twice as fast.

[@dehavenfamilyfarm]

Sure would have been faster with two 😀

Find the backup alarm and if it's somewhere easy to get to. Just put some tape over it then just take it off when you return the machine

[@dehavenfamilyfarm]

I'll have to remember that tip- thanks!
