Planting Trees With Power Tools

[@Dancing_Alone_wRentals]

You sir are an inspiration......a roadway to get a tinkerer into serious trouble. We need more people like you adding color to life!

[@LowBuckGarage]

Thanks, I sure appreciate that!

[@CasperRc81]

Amen 🙏 to that

[@scroungasworkshop4663]

Too right!

[@Natethanastysnake666]

I couldn't have said it any better. Found this channel today. After two videos, I knew this was gold to sub to

[@kensherwin4544]

Regarding the shovel: I noticed that it had a handle attached. More than 60 years ago, my dad warned me about such nefarious devices. "Beware of anything with a handle. That means there's work attached." In the intervening decades, I've learned he was right. First the tractor then the excavator were excellent choices to avoid that handle thingy. Yes I know those handles to but there were motors to do the work. That makes them playtoys, not work.

[@mwilliamshs]

Like the little tractor. Would enjoy seeing more of it

[@LowBuckGarage]

Thanks!

“If you’re not having fun, you’re doing it wrong.” I have an old craftsman lawn tractor that I’ve cut, welded, and fiddle farted a 3 point hitch on the back and snow blade on the front. It takes me about an hour to plow snow around my house and another hour to get a couple of my neighbors plowed out. My other neighbor laughs at me because his little snow blower gets his driveway clear in about 15 minutes. I don’t care if I waste a couple hours, I had way more fun. And my son has a blast bouncing around on “dadda’s tractor” with me. For the record, I have 2 operational snowblowers as well. It just ain’t fun though.

[@LowBuckGarage]

Exactly! Glad you're doing it the right way, and teaching your son along the way!

[@lunchbox2784]

@@LowBuckGarage hopefully he will be mechanic-minded like me some day. I just want him to at least be able to maintain and repair his own vehicles. He may be in a pickle when electric vehicles take over, though… I’m no electrician…

[@dustytrailscactusron]

Totally off subject, but there's a junkyard right next to the highway, up on 70 as you go through Organ, NM. I drive by there every day, and drool at the tasty looking old Jeep carcasses. If you haven't yet, you should go check it out.

[@LowBuckGarage]

Ah yes, I know the place, I've done a bit of horsetrading Jeep parts there, and he supplied the drivetrain for my upcoming V-8 Mercedes project. Good guy!

[@peteglen-hc2gk]

Around here I'm considered Mr. Fixit/make it work, but you have me beat! I wish we lived closer, we could come up with some wild stuff. Not to mention you've got lots a stuff to work with!

Your idea of fun ,is dead on my friend. Yes indeed I think you got it right

Thanks!

The GoPro adds photons to the soil. It helps with Photosynthesis.

[@chrisreed7097]

Why is this channel so awesome. I am sure my wife would not think it’s this funny. But I bust out laughing on your videos. So funny and awesome.

[@CharlesMatheson-w1z]

I know that my wife doesn't think that it's funny, just proof that some women don't have a sense of humor

[@terryrust5683]

it, please keep them coming my friend

[@LowBuckGarage]

Will do!

[@2dogsmowing]

I relate with your word very well. "I know because I've already done it before. " All to perfect words to listen to what the old folks are saying.

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🙏☀️ I am envious I would love to play about with old types of machinery tinkering with them to get them working that sir is my type of fun

[@NileKelly]

The John Deere 15 mini excavator is so cute and petite. Why am I picturing it in the cartoon movie "Cars?"

[@heartofthehunt6986]

I have been enjoying your channel. I applaud your creative repurposing of different things to make something really cool. Nice job sir. Keep it up!

Thanks, I really appreciate that!

@@LowBuckGarage good stuff

[@albatrosnh]

All the things in the background that need to be discussed! The ride on tiny train? The go-carts? Also, using the excavator arm to block the tree from hitting the fence was key!!

[@LowBuckGarage]

I do seem to collect stuff... The little train was built by my Dad and I years ago, I did some fixing on it when I first started doing videos: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iqeQlmN5q6-Febs The little red '32 Ford style go-kart is going to be retired to shop art duties, both of my kids have outgrown it now. I finished it up in another early video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/sIW5cqZ6ntynZpI The two seat go-kart and ATV frame in front of it are an upcoming project, going to make a full size Mario Kart that can handle jumps (I hope)...

[@deepbludude4697]

I gotta say im intrigued by that fan you have on your shop!

[@jjock3239]

It was interesting that you threw the gopro into the mixer, just to show us how well it was mixing the soil.

[@jimwhite1061]

Very nice. Good intertainment

[@jimmysalford8415]

You can add more weight for free by fitting water valves and simply filling the rear tyres with water instead of air. Remember to add anti freeze if your winters go below freezing.

[@bradleyberdahl6148]

MY POPS ALWAYS USED TO SAY..."Work smarter not harder"

[@jlucasound]

You know an excavator is small when the biggest part of it is the part that accommodates the operator! 😉I wish I had one of those! (The Model 15). If it has a Yanmar under the hood, it will last.

[@FOADJEWTUBE]

AND AGAIN DO AS U DO SIR...WE ALL B LOVIN THE CONTENT AND US CRAZIES LOVE THE CANDER N STIFFNESS ABOUT STAYN LOW BUCK AT BEST...ALL INQUURING MIBDS WANNA KNOW GARY WAT REALLY MAKES UR STOCK DAYS GO BY WEN U HAVE SOOOO MUCH FUN ( FOR US ALL) MAKING PLENTY O UTUBEY CASH????

The rest of the time I'm also building stuff, just boring production parts.

Glad i found your channel. Thank you.

[@clem95627]

GO Little Tractor! I vote you work on it more.

[@smca7271]

Love it...I'll spend days making myself something to save myself effort?.

[@BulletmanDoom]

Nice little excavator. I worked lots of mini diggers and big machines and if you set your offset to the other side and work in the opposite direction it's much easier because you can look out the open door and there are no obstacles blocking your vision.

[@kevinleee3408]

This guy is a mad genius scientist scrap wizard

[@kentstansberry9748]

The little tractor that could. 👌👍

[@stevenwithanS]

What a sweet little excavator.

[@deepbludude4697]

You have a considerable amount of cylinder testosterone. I kinda like that home made garden tractor you built. I found a workhorse 84 GT1100 in the garbage in Florida, the Briggs had Zero compression so I swapped it with a Honda13HP that I bartered for man I use the hell out of the thing Im collecting things to make a hydraulic auger for it, but Its hard to collect things here in the ozarks no one throws re-servicable stuff alway like they do in Fl.

[@LowBuckGarage]

If you don't have a hydraulic pump already, a cheap source is power steering pumps. For running a hydraulic motor, any one will do. They also have remote reservoir ones that you can plumb to a big tank if you need more fluid to run cylinders.

[@dans_Learning_Curve]

I definitely would find uses for the equipment you have!

[@mickwtaylor438]

This is way way way too long. So I’m going to use it as is!!! 😂 awesome.

[@bluegrallis]

Those wooden handled shovels, are WAY easier to use, if you never let them rust. I have a round nose I bought new about 50 years ago, that has never seen rust, shiney and smooth digs much easier!

[@a.h.2276]

Any tips on avoiding or at least slowing rust

[@bluegrallis]

@@a.h.2276 Clean any dirt off as soon as you're done digging. Never leave moist dirt on the tool, long enough to dry out. Then used motor oil, WD40, or fluid film on the tool when you put it away.

Make battery lugs out of a piece of 1/4 inch copper pipe

[@marklelohe3754]

The problem with belt drive is they are power limited so if you reduce the speed they will stop slipping.

[@lsnowy7758]

It looks really dry so why not put a pipe down into the roots so you can get water where it is needed?

[@ruben_balea]

I don't think that even with a short-circuited starter you could have so much voltage drop in the cables, in that case you would have it in the battery posts. If that ring terminal bolted to the chassis -is- *was* made of tin plated or copper plated steel I wouldn't trust it anymore, once the plating is gone the connections between the rusty steel terminal and the rusty copper wire and the connections of the rusty steel terminal and the rusty tractor chassis may be somewhat compromised.

[@harlanbarnhart4656]

"Other than that, it works fine."

[@user-bj4lp3fr1o]

Try some belt dressing on the slipping belt.

Hi there your little excavator you got the blade is not for levelling ITS a stabilizer you are operating the wrong way round LOOK at your video the excavator is lifting up the fastest way to screw your idlers bang bang bang you get it NOW turn your machine around and see a vast difference in the dig keep up the good work

Cat placement is all important when felling trees. Something to do with leverage and science, I think...

At 28:50 - Is that a blue and white mini bullet train in the background??

[@LowBuckGarage]

Yes, its a kid-sized copy of the Amtrak Acela, runs on some tracks in the backyard. I made the drivetrain, my Dad made the body.

[@peter-hr1gl]

I struggle with your approach. Part of me loves the humor and the way you approach solving problems, while part of me rails against you not fully fixing any given issue and simply going so far as to 'make it good enough' from a repair perspective. If you were doing work for me and getting paid, I would want it done completely and correctly with quality parts. Reuse of junk to me just leaves you with junk. There is professional quality and there is simply doing stuff as cheaply as possible with what you have. I like watching your inventiveness, but would never hire you. to do any work for me.

[@CoIoneIPanic]

Call before you dig. Or at least look around and make absolutely sure you arent going to hit a gas or water main.

Definitely nothing poorly made here it's time to change the saying
