Chris, I like that you are doing like 4 to 5 things at once with the 330 bucket. Clearing, raking, getting close to grade with the depth you are dragging back. Makes grading and shaping easier a few steps later after trees are clear. Well done Sir!!! Work smarter and always helping yourself on the next step… Masterful!!!!!!

The camera makes the grapple rake look about half its real size, I wouldn’t have guessed it is 6 feet wide! Maybe it’s also because you make it look so easy to use. 👍👍

Yes sir, never if you experience a breakdown, it’s when, like you say, “it happens”, one needs to get the machine repaired and get back to business. Look forward to the burn off from these piles. Thanks for the update, enjoyed watching, BTW, thanks for the tip on the hydraulic pressure release.

Do you get your hoses at Brakes Inc ....they are just outside the Beltline on New Bern Ave I think. They were always really good about keeping fittings in stock. Old man named Junior used to work there could make anything you needed and he was super quick. That was a good many years ago. He's probably long gone. Maybe he trained a pup.
