@17:12 that’s a great example of the strength of the machine and the talent of the operator! That was a good size tree and it seemed to not take much effort to uproot it. That’s why I enjoy your videos. You use the machine like it’s should be and to its potential! 💪🏻

Heck it looks better already! For ages the lowly excavator was destined to only dig holes until the advent of the mechanical thumb. It has now been transformed into so much more! It can rip fences out, tear down structures, pick up and place things with surgical precision, pluck wayward trees from a shoreline like pulling bad teeth and if the operator knows what he is doing it can really do amazing things. Yessir buddy the mechanical thumb can surely be a blessing in the hands of someone who knows how to use it. Thought I would throw that little parody in there. Were it me as the owner I would have marked the trees beforehand so you would know what to take out. Boy I wish I had you here in Georgia cause I could keep you busy for a while............
