I'm impressed by how much ware and tare the 350 is saving your 220. The way you can take out a forest of trees in a hurry is amazing. The stumper is huge. But the graple makes it look so small. You've got a great matched set of equipment for what you do, Chris.

[@letsdig18]

yeah it cuts alot of tasks in half on the amount of time it takes to do them with the 350

From this grandmother in Queensland Australia, who loves sitting down to watch you hard at work every day ❤ I want to wish you a very blessed Christmas season, you and your family... ❤ 🎉 And thank you for all the filming/editing you do, just so folk like me can enjoy, and appreciate all the hard work you do, always to perfection 🥰

[@Vickie-Bligh]

This was another fun one, Chris. The amount of work you can accomplish by yourself is phenomenal. Thank you for standing next to the Graptor Rake. It still is hard to grasp just how huge your machines are. Thank you for sharing with us all and bringing us along for the ride. The little girl in me is still thrilled at watching big machines go.

I'm sure you have new viewers all the time Cris. You can never show us too often how big the grapple or the buckets are on those machines. It always helps keep things in perspective.

[@markpashia7067]

It has been fun to watch Chris transition. When I first started watching he hated the stumper and only. used it as a last resort. But as he figured out how to make the most of it and systems for using it, it has become his go to tool for clearing. The power of the 350 and the larger stumper has had a bit to do with that though. Sure speeds up all of his clearing though.

[@TricksFixx]

That root ripper is Tough AF, subtle twist on the controls,,snaps those twigs!!.wooosh them off to the side,fluid movements Chris!
