Land Clearing with CMP Hydra Grapples

This was the start of a big project to continue site work on a new house lot where the client was looking to not only expand his projected yard space, but to also clean up lots of fallen and dangerous debris from the edges of the property. For this I tag teamed the job with Adam from Colonial Stoneworks who I have done many other jobs with. He brought his Hitachi 225 with an Engcon, CMP Grapple, Ripper and Skeleton bucket to help get this job done right!
Equipment Used:
Excavator: Hitachi ZAXIS 225 US LC w/ Engcon
Mini Excavator: 2021 Bobcat e26 R-Series
Skidsteer/CTL: 2021 Bobcat T66
Grapple: CMPHG5
Camera: GoPro Hero 7

I spent the first ten years or so of my career building roads and laying pipe but the last three years I’ve been doing work similar to this and absolutely love my job now! It’s hard work sometimes but it’s rewarding. You do excellent work and I’m glad I found your channel -new subscriber

I think I've said it before but that 26 is one capable machine. I love doing these types of jobs, so rewarding. Great Job!

It sure is. Was really nice for this job being able to weave in and out of all the trees and still have the power to wrench small trees and rocks around at the same time. Thanks!

[@fredrobinson6990]

You both did a great job! I know the owner is happy.

The neighbor is jealous. I would of cleaned up the wall anyway. Good job.

Nice job Brian, hope you are staying warm during the winter season.

[@CarlsonSonLandscapingLLC]

Thanks and same to you! Luckily, it has been a pretty warm winter so far.

Epic job both of you. I love the rotating CMP grapple on both machines. It looks like it saves time that repositioning the excavator would require. Please update us when back on that property.

[@chdinct6792]

Been a while since you posted, but an epic one I say. Man that customer spent a lot on landscaping. Nice that you’ll be back in the spring to rake and seed. Love those rotating grapples.

[@CarlsonSonLandscapingLLC]

Thanks! Yeah, it is quite the investment they are making but definitely improves the lot and usable space for what his visions of it are.

YAYYYY its been a while, i was beginning to wonder ...

[@Rigoknow]

👍

[@ghostedwaffle2151]

Would you be able to achieve the same level of grading without the skid steer and just the E26 only?

[@KGSHEAMASONRY]

What type of cab over is that ?pretty sweet looking rig is that Adam’s rig?

[@CarlsonSonLandscapingLLC]

It's an Argosy Cab Over and it is Adam's. That thing is sweet.

How in the world do u bid a job like this

[@jakew7674]

Homeowner did not mind metal tracks on driveway?

[@CarlsonSonLandscapingLLC]

It's the binder coat, so he will have the final coat done once all the landscaping is done.

[@kitob1852]

Why do you always put your camera facing the sun. You always do that

[@CarlsonSonLandscapingLLC]

@@kitob1852 Because I knew youd like it 🙃

[@pwaldrop5181]

GOOD fences make good neighbors, broken down piles of rocks called a fence, do not. The neighbor owes you...... imho

[@MichaelMenei]

Great job! WOW that neighbor was tough. I'd like to know their address, so I can send them a novelty pet rock with a note, "love Grandpa" 🪨😅
