making land productive again/Florida land clearing with d5 dozer, disc and drag

Customer wanted to turn this 8 acre plot into productive land for his cows. We had to fill in some pits that he had dug and consolidate his burn piles before we could begin plowing. Job took three days for completion.

Would have loved to have seen the drag pass the camera! Great looking job!

Railroad iron with chain and loop in middle so will swivel as you turn to dump in shallow spots, hope this helps

Once in a while I wish I had the opportunity for jobs like that. Here in south Florida there's hardly any open space left!

You cut it short at the best part! I wanted to see how well the drag worked. Good video anyway though.

U better be charging a lot ,,think about track time pins an bushing sprockets $$$$$

[@stevebenifiel5068]

Was getting $1800.00 day plus $600 on the haul, so yes did real good, owned heavy diesel shop for yellow iron for 40 plus years so we did all our own maintenance , wife and I put complete new bottom on the D5 in the video,cost me 14k parts and my labor, work dozer 2 weeks pays for bottom , but at almost 70 will wear a man out, really enjoyed the business and the folks just got too old lol
