Clearing Land with Forestry Mulcher/ Building our 14 acre Homestead

[@kebergify]

Great idea to use a company with the forestry mulcher. Amazing amount of work to get done so quickly. Definitely worth the investment. Your time is worth the cost!

[@sherrysimpson4966]

Jason, I'm 75 yo & never even heard of a forestry mulcher, much less got to watch one in action. Your property is beautiful. Hugs & blessings for your family 🙏🏻🌺🌼🌻🌹❤💙💚

[@davidparkin4392]

Had a young man come out for 3 days last year. The most amazing use of man and machine I ever did to reclaimed many acres of over grown brush and cedar trees. Now I’m pasturing bacon on the cleared forest and left the hickories to mature. My face hurt for days I was smiling so hard!!!

[@mundydiludovico5268]

It’s amazing how much 1 machine can do in a day and you didn’t even break out in a sweat , a lot of people think it’s expensive to hire machinery but if you break it down in time saved you can move onto other projects instead of concentrating on one project for twelve months. Money well spent.

[@TheAcenightcreeper]

I did this when i bought 20 acres and built my home in NC…it was 2800 for 1.5 days of work, but i believe it saved me about 40 days of labor, the land was so overgrown and unmanaged…covered in poison ivy…once he got the trails in, i could get my equipment in and ive been cutting trees down, dragging brush…for about 2 years…still…tons more wildlife though…more turkeys, more deer…

[@marywaltz7871]

i'm amazed! growing up on an 80 acre farm that we had to clear fence rows the same way you were, I wish we'd had something like this back in the 1970's

[@denisewilson8367]

Yeah me too! In the early 60's there was only chainsaws to cut everything by hand with a lot of manual labor. The same for clearing /picking rocks out of the crop fields, by hand. And most were dumped in the fence rows along the fields. Now days they have a piece of equipment that goes on your skid steer to pick up rock. It rotates to shake out the dirt so you can just get the rocks.

[@suedonald2583]

I'm so excited for you. I know how hard you have been working on this. This is such a blessing.

[@diannemiller4754]

Jason, you have jumped ahead on your timeline greatly. Nice to see you can continue with your plans on the homestead. Such a blessing.

[@PaPawsWorkShop]

That is the coolest machine I think I have ever seen. I cannot believe how satisfying it was to watch him work.😁

[@starsearchervideoshorts2-jk9py]

We are watching from Philadelphia Pa. March 6th 2023 Time 18:00 POM POM PICTURE STUDIO great looking family and the land looking good great Forestry Mulcher We SUBSCRIBED and Rang the Bell!! O one last thing Steak -food looks good wife good cook.

[@arwoods1237]

So happy & excited for you & your family. That machine was a great help & the young man doing the work seemed oh so pleasant. Blessings to all of you.

[@karenlenoury4156]

Jasin, looking at the difference from the air is amazing. That machine did one heck of a job. Good job done all around.

[@janetwithers7427]

The forestry mulcher is an amazing machine. Wow, so much done in a short time. Good decision. 💞

[@deloresochoa6235]

AMAZING!!!!! We couldn't stop watching!!! I think we replayed this video at least twenty times. Our great grandkids thought it was great. Thank you again for sharing your videos with all of us. GOD continue to bless you all, in Jesus, Amen!

[@cekfraun]

That mulcher is amazing. He did a really good job, and it was fun to watch, especially with the various cameras -- one inside the cab, and the drone footage. Very cool! Your property looks great!

[@SaneNoMore]

Doing things by hand seems best when your on a budget but once you see the job done with the right equipment and a trained person you often realize it saves so much time and effort that you can use on other projects that it’s money well spent.

[@denisewilson8367]

A forestry mulcher is a perfect machine to open an area and establish/reestablish the boudries. Or clear land to put in production as pasture or an area to build on. Great choice.

[@TheGeezzer]

Mulchers are amazing, been watching Mulcher videos for over 5 years, quite fascinating how they just mulch through thick scrub n bush without losing a beat!

[@Will7981]

A mini excavator with a quick detach system and auxiliary hydraulic connection (most come with that), you can put a mulcher head on it and do close to the same thing you just did here. Then of course you can take the mulcher off and use your buckets. Also, you can put things like augers on the excavator to dig fence post holes, cutter decks for bush hogging etc. Just some tips here to increase your knowledge of equipment since you said you are learning it.👍🏻

[@treefiddy2470]

I have the same predicament. I have like 1/3 of an acre to clear, been doing by hand but it's taking years and wear in my body. Decided I will pay someone to do it. These palmetto plants in florida are no joke.

[@paulabrown5685]

Just watching makes me excited for your family and how you are making your land beautiful and useful!

[@285113z]

Woah!!! This is just phenomenal, never seen anything like it before! Good luck Jason and Lorraine ~~

[@ABlueDahlia]

I didn't know those things existed either, but how amazing was that! Happy for you guys!

[@nancyseery2213]

WOW, it's like ten thousand angry beavers! What a time saver, worth every penny for saving you all of that time and energy. God bless and keep growing.

[@chasehicks4303]

Linton is one of the best around! Know him for many years even though we live about a hour apart.

[@terelhutto8604]

@ 3:13 poor piggies are so hungry they deliriously think they have turned to goats, and started noshing on the chicken coop!

[@Gardendreamsforme]

What an awesome machine! I learn so much from y’all!!!

[@TiaraPoodles]

OMG! I need that guy here in Bryant, AL for my fence line and more for 22 acres. We have had TWO Forestry Mulchers and they did NOT get such a fine finish.

[@sunshinestuart4847]

That was so fantastic! Work smarter not harder! So satisfying 👍

[@rowenadinsmore1]

Yes, that machine is amazing!

[@barbaradeclerck7341]

Wow, I can’t believe the difference. Saving you so much time. That has now freed you up for your other projects👍 just amazing! Love it.🥳🎉🎉

[@AZJH8374]

OMG!! IT'S PERFECT. JASON, YOU NEED TO FILM MORE PLEASE 🙏🏻 I'M LOVING THIS. ❤️ AND THE STEAK AT THE END!! LOVE ❤️ THIS!!!!!

[@rsoubiea]

wow that was amazing to watch. how satisfying.

[@peterwalton1502]

What an Operator & what a machine 👏👏👏🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

[@jdiggindirt]

You should really look into a compact tractor 4x4 with front-end loader with bush hog box blade, and then one get a plow a dirt scoop a disk or tiller, and a Harley rake. They also make a small forestry mulcher for small compact tractors now

[@geenabeanscrochetandmore3533]

My dad hired a forestry mulcher to clear our land in Alabama. When I went to see it I could by believe it was all ours. It opened everything up so much. It was amazing.

[@guntaweiland3428]

Love that Lorraine gets a jogging trail❤

[@curtyung884]

I think you want to leave the chips even the bigger ones as you can seed and fertilizer and the chips help with water retention and seedling protection

[@azdave1422]

I was smiling through every grinding scene. Instant gratification. Nice.

[@schammond8993]

Worth every penny. We did the same with our place and we mow it now. AWSOME piece of equipment.

[@cheriekreusel3756]

Wow! The property looks like a park now. Cool operator of the machine too. He really seemed to take care to give you what you asked for.

[@mesutozsen903]

Eline emeğine sağlık bu güzel vlog için kolay gelsin hayırlı işler....👍👍👍👍

[@jamesscroggins3486]

That machine is awesome! Not only saving you valuable time, but your property is going to look so amazing.

[@DHSFEMA]

That thing is amazing, I lived in NY and never had a need for it, moved to Florida and I had a lot on my property with Trees and being a city boy didn’t know about these things, well I had someone come and cleared out the whole thing in one day and now I have a lake view,

[@aslansdaughter4648]

Jason, Lorraine, and Penelope, that was amazing! What a timesaver for you! ❤ Very happy for you!

[@belieftransformation]

Transformation of the land, for sure! Thanks for sharing!

[@sherrygtn63]

What a wise and spectacular move you just made !! That is a great job !!

[@TheWestlandgirl]

Now you can rent one yourself to maintain what was done and clean it up a bit more and more on your own since the biggest work is done.

[@margiemistretta8885]

I'm so happy that you got the job done The wood chips will help to keep weeds down and cover any mud that might occur

[@Hilltop_ranch_]

This is my first time on your channel. If you have a tractor you could uses a flail mower that would help clean up a lot of stuff as well.

[@moorsidegardener]

Honestly, I was surprised how exciting it was to watch this video, it must have been so much fun watching it happen before you eyes! I never knew those machines existed. Amazing progress and very cool.

[@SowtheLand]

It really is!

[@curtisep5885]

I REALLY. Wanted Justin to hire one of these! Gotta be the BEST TOOL EVER. LOVE WATCHING THIS🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@Mamasmovietime]

This is absolutely amazing. It looks like a new property and so much more can be accomplished now.

[@tara_a_santiago]

WHOA!!!!!! I literally was watching with my mouth wide open, that was amazing, worth every penny to get that much done in a day!

[@lonis7456]

This was amazing to watch. So glad you got help Jason!

[@gracewashburn8276]

That is awesome machine declare everything away from the fences, and make more space for you to use that is such a fantastic tool for the farm and it makes things so much easier❤❤

[@tristan.bevins]

So happy for y’all, I know what it’s like to have those projects that you get yourself into just to find that they seemingly have no end in sight. All you needed was a good ol’ boy and his bobcat. I’m smiling ear to ear. Good stuff 💪 major props to whoever recommended that

[@SuperMulletguy]

I had one of those do some clearing on our property-- those things are awesome and powerful!! Watch out! Flying pieces!

[@BrendaJMay]

That Was Awesome To Watch ! Your Property Being Improved ,Step By Step,One Thing At A Time! And what a difference it makes for your future plans! 💯😊👍👍👍👍👍 So happy for Yall!🥰 Much♥️Love & God 🙏Bless🙏 Yall 😘

[@406regen]

Wow that machine is awesome that paid for it self im glad i dont have to worry about all that on my fence line

[@tinacoppenbarger3412]

I really enjoyed this. He did such an awesome job for you. And finding that second fence line. Oh my.

[@fredrobinson6990]

Looks so much better! Glad to see you paid a professional to get the job done.

[@Onix-xs6wq]

With all your hard work was wondering when you're bringing a Mulcher and here we go

[@conservativejones3537]

Awesome. Just had his done on my property in So Tex which had seen very little control in 50 years. These are incredible machines.

[@charlesebrown7808]

I hired someone to do clearing on my land when I first moved to the property that I am on now, with this type of machine. It's amazing, what it does.

[@tinatippin5705]

What a day you had! Amazing watching that machinery and it's operated. You sit down to a home grown meal and had a beautiful view from a window that works. Absolutely, an amazing day. All in one year. I so agreed with you, Lorraine. Hike, explore, the creek, and all the food you can grow, all right there at Home. Blesses my heart to see your family thrive.

[@cathlyndeutsch9209]

That was SO interesting! I didn't even know a machine like that existed. Very likable driver too.

[@gregbraschke]

I bought a forestry mulcher when first moved to a farm, fence lines grown over. Thick brush, 12” diameter trees, prickly pear cactus, mulched it all. A year later was some of the best native grass on the place, did not pick up any debris caused by the mulcher. But that would be your call. Also bought a skid loader and other attachments, it’s unbelievable what you can do with one of those machines.

[@PBarMRanchandGardens]

Absolutely love your videos. I just bought a 12 acre property myself. Getting into my own homestead and this is a fantastic idea for me to use as well. Thank you

[@salleecreekworkshop]

It took me a long time to realize that I can't do everything. I had a timber guy come out and I was going to do it all myself. They did in a couple of days what took me a year to do myself with minimal equipment.

[@desireevarga7463]

OMG, I have never seen a machine like this in action. So happy for you in your journey to clean up the property line.

[@SowtheLand]

Thanks 👍

[@jasonmabie1770]

He’s got yourself a little horse trail or a side-by-side trail to ride around which would help you get a lot of that stuff done without a full-size truck. Have a good time and enjoy forestry. Mulcher’s are absolutely amazing. Love your video.

[@freshstarts1618]

Yay! Sow the Land Sunday funday! I want that mulcher! I’m already wanting a bobcat… so… 😂. Oh Lorraine my heart jumped when you noticed you could jog there!! That would be me too!!

[@trueshot6969]

That looks truly fantastic. If you do not mind the asking, how much did he cost you for the day? In my area it is well over $2500 just to rent one of those for a day. If he cost you anything less than $7,000 for the day, I would say it was a steal. You definitely paid for his expertise and not the machine. Just be aware that will all of that new sunlight on those areas, it will come back quick fast and in a hurry. You probably do NOT want clear the mulch out he made. that will help to keep some of the stuff from growing back, will help revitalize the soil and help your vehicles to not sink when it is wet.

[@sharonwillis993]

Wow, I'm just amazed! I didn't know one little machine could cut down so much

[@jasonhatfield4747]

Good call hiring that out! Well worth it! Those machines are impressive (and kinda scary, haha). Now all you gotta do is keep it mowed!

[@kimberlykelly7280]

Wow! That forestry mulched is insane! Sure did the trick. It could eat your house if you let it! Congrats. That must feel good to have that done. You have come a long way with your property.

[@rosarosado2967]

Awesome, Now is more easy to do what you want Jason, great idea, blessings to you and your Family..

[@wildpuffalumps]

Wow talk about a time saver! That’s so cool! I had no idea that they made such things to clear brush like that! I know of brush hogs but those are usually behind the machine, this is very efficient! And time saving. 😊

[@SowtheLand]

huge time saver!

[@wildpuffalumps]

Y’all must be so happy to have that all knocked out in one afternoon! I’m just so amazed and happy for you!😊

[@colinstace1758]

I had a guy who did this for me once back in Australia. The job was not as big, but it's so much easier than by hand. He called it his "tree mower" 🙂👍

[@sippinghotchocolate]

That machine is awesome!!!

[@plantabundance]

That piece of equipment did an amazing job. Thanks for sharing it's effectiveness. I added to my list of equipment to consider when I land on some acreage. Cheers!

[@raewynnatta2050]

[@jasonmckee3329]

Nice... You've been getting into hunting. Thinking maybe some deer food plots, blinds, and some treestands. I'm happy for you guys. Thanks for doing what y'all do appreciate it.

[@CliffsideStables]

BACKDRAGGING is the term used when he backs the machine up to regrind what was just cut. The more backdragging the smoother the outcome. Our experience has shown that it takes about two years for all the mulch that is left behind to deteriorate. We’ve had a forestry mulcher at our place several times and waiting for drier weather for a return visit. Tim in northern TN

[@bendigr]

you need to get equipment to maintain your property. First item, a tractor. then start getting attachments. rotary cutter (bush hog), finish mower?, tiller? post hole auger? disc harrow? etc.

[@SowtheLand]

Trying

[@peterrowellranson8649]

Wow folks what a huge difference 👏

[@shirleymoore4885]

So impressed Jason and so worth the time & cost probably and this is exactly what I need for my property that we bought that is over grown with a lot of trees which would save us alot of time we did start doing it by hand and it’s alot of work 👍

[@copperpenny7526]

These two old folks (small dairy farmers) over here in WI are very happy for you both. Seeing good stewards of the land gives us a nice feeling. Hope young folks reclaim more land for small farming to show that it can still be done here in the USA.

[@stellaunger8568]

That machine was amazing. Love your channel. ❤😊

[@HaroldMalaby]

How exciting to see your property and how the potential is visible. My daughter had some of this done and I too, California Boy, watched. It is amazing to see the clearing and cleaning up equipment can do. I must add that here in Ohio there are times this equipment can cause damage and not do any favors to proper trimming. As long as there is a good plan and effort put into followup work grooming the plants it is very beneficial. Love watch progress and yes it certainly would have taken years without such equipment. Thanks for sharing the journey.

[@clmierau]

I had no idea that there was such a machine ! I loved watching this!

[@ericahaney2753]

Oh my Jason what a blessing that machine was to your farm! That was so satisfying watching them demolish those brambles. I am one that would be willing to plug away at something like this but man what a resource and the benefits woodchips!!

[@sonyagregory5711]

I'm in shock! Wow! I have a fence line that needs that done. He did an amazing job. I've been around the forestry industry my whole life and even I had no idea they had a small machine that could do this. I wish I knew how to contact his company because we live very close to you guys and I bet he services my neighborhood too. You guys truly do have a brand new property now. So many new exciting videos we'll see of all the new things you'll do with your cleared land. One of my very favorite videos of all time!❤😊😊😊🎉🎉🎉👍

[@kkutube1972]

Looks great.

[@steelhorses2004]

Disappointed there is no mention of the cost of hiring someone with a machine like this for a day or six hours of work.

[@kimkramarski-smith774]

That young man knew his business ! He did right by y'all . A side by side was our best investment along with our zero turn for our 10 acres .

[@melissaandrews9587]

Yesss Jason , soooo worth it ❤, this guy has brought new opportunities to your land 😅, very much worth every dime you paid him 😅. Nice job !

[@helenbowen5020]

Thanks!

[@trailcamerasinnewengland0112]

Fantastic job y’all. Can’t wait to see what the future videos hold.

Thanks so much!
