Road Clearing with a FARM TRACTOR!

In this video, we tackle the challenge of clearing a road through dense woods using a Ford 3000 farm tractor, a trusty chainsaw, and the Kubota. Watch as we cut through fallen trees, move heavy debris, and carve out a pathway step by step. Whether you're a fan of tractors, enjoy watching forestry work, or are planning a similar project yourself, this video is packed with hard work and satisfying progress.

Ha! You have a scrap metal pile, too? Guess what-I’m the guilty party on mine! It’s gutters I was told to “get rid of” in 1979. Never give a 15-year-old kid a job that involves tractors and decision making! I never dreamed I would own this land, certainly not build and live on it, but here I am 36 years later. Great to see so much activity on this channel, Happy New Year!

[@falllineridge]

Ha! That stuff always comes back to bite you. No idea who left this pile there.

[@bernardmauge8613]

Thanks for showing the Ford 3000 at work. I have a 1973 4000 on my property and it is a beast. Cheers from Brittany France.

[@MontsFamilyHomestead]

Love that your bringing back the old road on what I take was several years ago. May the lord continue to use you in everything you do. God bless y’all and be safe.

[@iamruseriousnow516]

Hi Wes. So good to see you again. I love your videos. Always look forward to seeing what project you have going on. God bless you .

[@falllineridge]

Thanks! I'm glad you enjoy the videos. Thank you for watching!

[@jimwilloughby]

Wes, I'm sure you like your Kubby as much as I like mine but, I really love to see the Blue Beauty in action. There is nothing like old iron.

[@GregFisk-n4p]

I got you back, didn't know you had returned to you tube.Like your videos. God BLESS

[@timvanlandingham1927]

Wes. We have done so much of that through the years, chainsaw work, hand-trimming tools, and a much older tractor: a 1947 Ford 2N. No grappler, etc!😊 Still doing it with our driveway thru the woods.

[@BernardTulk]

thanks for the ministry of this channel

Great video! Brush hogging is like therapy for me! God bless!🙏

[@samvalentine3206]

Good luck putting the floor down - thanks for bringing us along on this trailblazing - reminds me of doing the same back in the day... without the tractor, grapple or chainsaw! Blessings to you and your family from ours... 🙏👍

[@CherylHart-ok6ff]

My dad had an old blue Ford Tractor just about like that. ❤

[@DDL2728]

Mr. Eveready Bunny, you just keep going & going & going! 👍💪 Thanks for another great video. God bless you and your family in 2025 in all ways! ♥️🙏♥️

[@trampster7306]

Nice one Wes! Good job of creating a track through the Trees. Also great to see that Ford 3000 still going well - I've mentioned before that I passed my first driving test on one over 50 years ago here in the UK. Best wishes to all for 2025 - stay safe & well. 👍👍

Great work, Wes!!!! Having done that work, it is truly a labor of love!

[@stanwebb3480]

Over the River and through the Woods to the Rev's. House!!! Happy 3 Kings Visit!!!

[@MarkWYoung-ky4uc]

Boy this takes me back nearly 40 years ago when I had to cut a road through the woods to get to some small pines I cut for tier poles to go in Grandpa's log tobacco barn that burned out in a barn fire. My experience Wes is that I get the most done on days when I don't plan a lot. I hope you and your family had a great Christmas and I look forward to seeing part 2.

[@falllineridge]

I might switch my outlook to yours. Keep my own expectations low.

[@miketanner1920]

Morning brother ❄👍🏻😁🇨🇦 Glad to see you posting Merry Christmas God bless Just saying

[@falllineridge]

Merry Christmas to your as well!

[@odisdenney690]

the old woven wire fence i would mark it with orange marking tape, so its easy to see from the tractor.

[@harryrandhawa7240]

Like the sound of tractor.

[@jeffburgeson3490]

Recently started watching. I have always enjoyed your channel, but you just rained it to a new level. Not knowing how to navigate KZbin and figure out what I want to see, have you ever gotten the Kiln working like you wanted it to?

[@richardthornhill4630]

Good to keep the equipment working and not setting up. Making the school break invaluable. Keeping up the house and land.

[@robert.brokaw3829]

I have a HIPA chain that I got last year after getting a watching Brad (Firewood at the Furnace). His channel was able to give a code for a free chain. I really like mine and gat a second one for next to nothing. Stay safe.

[@wileycoyotesr8623]

You appear to be making good progress. I'd buy the chain.

[@chrismcconnell6163]

Happy New Year

[@BarlowBrigade]

Bro. FLR, really enjoyed this video!!! 🙏🙏🙏👍🔥💯🗡️

[@falllineridge]

Thanks!

[@Stinker337]

🇺🇸 It would be a good idea after cutting out your 1st rafter to mark "pattern" on it and use that one to mark out all of the remaining rafters so that your mark will be the same.

[@GradyBanyay]

your videos are great.

[@LighthouseGospelBand]

I really enjoy your videos! Love watching the Ford 3000 work, when we Lord willing get some property, that's the first Tractor I'd like to get. I was curious if your's has power steering, some of them do and some do not. I tried to bushog recently at a friend's farm with a zero turn, I didn't go to well :) Thank you for making such wonderful videos! God bless you and your family.

[@falllineridge]

This one does not have power steering. Tough to turn, but less maintenance.

[@bernardmauge8613]

@@falllineridge If you put equipment over the front axle you will need power steering. Ask me how I know.

[@MyAlaska12]

Looking forward to seeing the next video

[@Benelli-ex7oq]

Merry Christmas and a happy New Year all the best and God bless

[@fmeach7711]

The old pesky Privet, always in the way. Everybody needs a sharp chain for their saw. Old Blue can still Git r Done.

[@OregonOldTimer]

If the chain stretches (wears) so much you have to remove links, the space between drive teeth is lengthening, too. That can damage the sprockets.

[@falllineridge]

That's a good point. Thanks for that tip!

[@watsonrk1]

Chisel chain dulls faster than semi-chisel. If your looking to cut dirty wood, lots of vines and junk.. like dirt, try the rounded cutter style chain. Don't file the rakers to low or the chain will be grabby.. it will grab those smaller limbs and won't cut them or let go. Nice to see you using farm diesel in the old Ford

[@randydobson1863]

Hi Wes & it's is Randy and i like yours video is Cool & Thanks Wes & Friends Randy & Hello Wes & Happy New Year's & The Best in 2025

I miss the mill as well!

[@ericupchurch6167]

I’m so glad you wasn’t cutting large enough trees to hurt you because mannnnn 😂 you and that chainsaw need to stay distant friends

[@mauso12012]

Always have a spare chain or 3

Good job mister 🏎🏎🏎👍👍

God Bless you and your family. MERRY CHRISTMAS!!! sorry I'm late just old bones.

Thanks and Merry Christmas!

[@wileycoyotesr8623]

Vines kill trees and then the forests. I'd be tempted to spend a few afternoons walking though the woods with 30" bolt cutters and snip each vine at the vase of trees. The vines will dry and fall off the trees.

[@Hotrodford]

Pull the wire out by hand by using shovels, picks and wire cutters like we did in the old days. People are spoiled today by using machinery for everything like digging post holes, etc.

[@kpediaaa1]

Kudos

Regardless of your graduation date, Start a second channel dedicated solely to a Gospel ministry. This channel can support the other. A homily every couple of days tieing homesteading, home schooling and Christian growth all together. Printed brochures available at a nominal cost for followers to use and answer included questions ( don't even need to be printed Acrobat them) Patreon comes to mind. You already have a possible MEGA CHURCH with subs here. Y'all ain't gonna get that as a newbie Pastor.

[@TomW2034]

Oddly, I was wearing my Fall Line Ridge sweatshirt when I tuned in. Mine's in better shape than yours! Have a Happy New Year!

[@falllineridge]

Cool! Thanks for buying the sweatshirt! I love mine.

[@ve6hdh992]

Christmas Eve. Working in short sleeves and green leaves on the trees. Can we send you about 8" of snow? Best regards.

[@falllineridge]

Not all of it, maybe just an inch or two, and let it melt by afternoon.

[@NotsoEasyAcres]

My old 3000 doesn't have a 2 stage clutch. Mowing, the mower will continue tp ush u along even with clutch pressed. Makes for fun mowing. Lol

[@Will7981]

👍🏻

[@jdollar5852]

We are doing something very similar. My wife wants a path cut around the back end of the farm for a walking/biking trail. My big tractor isn't designed to work in the woods. It has exposed hydraulic lines underneath that get pulled loose and cost me a lot of down time and money replacing fluids, so I have a buddy bringing his skidsteer and forestry muncher over. I spent much of yesterday marking the trail, cutting down small trees, and pulling 50 year old barbed wire out of the way. We are hoping that muncher will deal with all the grape vines and privet. We will be cutting along two creeks but not actually crossing them. Guess which chainsaw I used? I've started buying all my chains from Amazon. I'm prone to cutting dirt on occasion.

[@falllineridge]

I wrecked one of the hard lines on the Kubota a couple of years ago. Amazing how fast they can get rid of fluid like that. That forestry mulcher is worth its weight in gold.

[@dannymartin1935]

I am wondering what part of Georgia you are in? I am in North Georgia close to Chattanooga.

[@taftamick54]

Glad you didn't catch that old wire with the bush hog... That woulda been a mess...

[@falllineridge]

Huge mess!

[@everlysuniquetimbersawshop]

Grind the bar out with a carbide bit instead of taking a link out.

[@ClawsonFamilyHomestead]

I would like to know how well the chain sharpens with a saw file that says alot about a chain also.

[@falllineridge]

Good point!

[@noneyabiznas3590]

Chris Pine has a KZbin channel? LOL

[@ve6hdh992]

Can just vision the mess if you had got into that area with the brush cutter.

[@falllineridge]

Would have been awful.

[@GradyBanyay]

do you only have one chainsaw?

[@falllineridge]

I have a few, but this one is the most reliable.

[@GradyBanyay]

@@falllineridge THANKS

[@jonathanfrecking1210]

Buy quality chains, and they'll last a long time. Cheaper isn't always better.

[@grennhald]

Too bad you don't have a flail mower. They perform way better in overgrown conditions

[@benbrown3882]

Be careful operating your Ford without rollover protection. I almost turned over my grandfather's tractor back in 70s while operating it next to a ditch.

[@falllineridge]

Yeah I will admit that my life briefly flashed before my eyes when I backed up to the creek.

If saw chains stretch it’s ether poor quality,or not enough oil n

Rome wasn't built in a day and you always want a bad chain for cutting bushes close to the ground because you might hit stones and wreck a new chain and a old wore chain would be better

[@garyfrederick7607]

hahahaa i did a mile long trail through my trees not straight but meandering and i did mine with a chainsaw a rake and a push lawn mower. and how wide enough to drive a ford explorer through and have room on both sides to drive down it.. don't believe me? give me your email and i will send photos.
