I love how you, unlike other people, you use the equipment shown in your other videos! Great Video!!

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

Thanks Emry...I really try my best to show and use the equipment on the farm to it's fullest...in case someone is looking for something to make life easier...now if I could get the wind to stop blowing 30 mph today I might get some work done! AhhhhH!!

[@emrythompson]

Stoney Ridge Farmer, yes, super windy today in northeast Ohio too, ( Wooster, Ohio)

I've missed that smile. Welcome back Mrs. Stoney Ridge.

[@senile_texas_aggie7338]

I bought this same make and model about 2 months ago and I love it! I even used today!

[@sailme2day]

great team effort . Nice to see Mrs. stoney ridge get in on the camera action. that tool is cool and efficient , wow . It will make quick and safe work of the trash trees about your homestead.

[@countrysideacreshomestead2008]

Wow! That thing is awesome! Talk about making short work out of a big job, we used to go around the edges of the field with a chainsaw and a polesaw but this is way faster. Thx for sharing Josh!

[@wildefox1478]

That is an awesome piece of machinery Josh, pretty useful for trimming trees along fences and stuff, awesome stuff!

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

Glad you enjoy it!

[@moman0166]

I went to Junior College in Sedalia, Missouri plus I worked full time at DeLong Steel Co making steel trusses from 3 to 11:30 pm. I carried a 16 hr load each semester plus my first class started at 7:30 am. This was back in 1971 and 1972. I had a 1969 SS Camaro candy apple red with the black hockey stick stripe down the side, four speed, cowl air induction and Craiger super sport wheels plus a slightly modified 350 cui engine. Of course the engine had headers and the exhaust system from a Z 28 Camaro which had no mufflers but looked like links of sausages. I had a blast driving around Sedalia till I got two tickets in one day. I am 69 years old and that was the only two tickets I ever had. Sedalia holds lots of memories for me.

Great video Josh, it's a never ending battle keeping the fields from shrinking but that mini clip makes it look more fun. Great to see Mrs. Stoney Ridge making an appearance, too.

[@TheLittleOrchardFarm]

GREAT CONTENT! Love watching your videos. So much to learn. You have been a huge inspiration for us as we build our homestead from the ground up. We are even journaling the adventure on KZbin at The Little Orchard Farm in hopes of being a positive impact like you guys. Thanks!

[@pierregodin1668]

For your information the cuplers on the skid steer are high volume cuplers while the tractor cuplers are not high volume. The reason is most equipment on a skid steer require high volume hydraulic oil to operate.

[@carterjames5385]

Yes and no. SS uses hi flow hydraulics in most cases, depending on the pump it's equipped with. Tractor hydraulic pumps are often lower flow. The couplers depend on the threads at the hose's end. There are many different types of fittings that can be installed on various machines. Best to find out from the brand manufacturer what threads/fittings are used on their model/brand. Don't try to force a coupler or other fitting onto a threaded hose end unless you like leaks/trouble.

[@pierregodin1668]

@@carterjames5385 I agree with you. The cuppler that i saw in the video is a high volume cuppler. Now for the threaded part, the same type of cuppler (tractor cuppler) can have pipe thread,JIC, or O-ring type. Yes as you said be careful what the type of thread is on the end of the hose or pipe. I had to fix an aluminum hydraulic manifold (three electric SCV valves) that the customer had inserted pipe thread in 0-ring type hole, that caused a major oil leak.

[@JohnTalbot-k6xi]

Learned a few things .... Thanks I have a Skid will look into that tool !!

[@georgemcpherson3046]

THats pretty neat. I could sure use it. But then I would need your skid steer too. Enjoy your videos. Thanks, George

[@PawPaws_Place]

Awesome. Thanks for the info. I do think this would be great for clearing yaupon from my underbrush. I have some that clump together and are 6 to 8 inches in diameter. If I can’t pull them up I can just lop them off at the ground. Thanks again. Great job Josh!! 👍

[@deanbarr5740]

Woooo thats one wicked machine Josh, definitely no Axe required in its path. Great job brother.👍👍👍

[@ArkansasPilgrim]

I just started trimming low hanging branches around the edge of my property. Loppers, hand pole saw, weed-eater pole saw, and chainsaw. At least I'll lose some weight by the time I'm done.

[@KevinJones-cp8qv]

Now that is a handy implement..look at that grass starting to pop

[@dougw5400]

I have a JD 270 and a JD 5065E both with skid steer attachments for everything on my farm. Just so you know, you can buy a conversion set of couplers to attach agriculture hydraulic fittings to a skid steer. I bought them so I can keep all implements with the same hydraulic fittings and can use on both tractor or skid steer whenever I want without having to change them. Love the videos!

[@paulcollins8296]

Great video. When you mentioned what to do with the old trees you could have mentioned the option of using a 3 point wood chipper and chipping the trees and then use the wood chips as a soil improver, especially effective if you have any manure to mix with it and form a fantastic compost. Maybe you could demonstrate a Woodmaxx MX-9900.

[@lydiaanderson1747]

Paul Hello hope you are doing great

[@BigDmike24]

i like that gadget!! of course you got a bunch of good gadget's! have a good weekend!!!

[@dehavenfamilyfarm]

That would be a great piece of equipment to have! I am not sure if I would put new tires on your skidsteer until you a ready to have the tracks off for an extended period of time because the tracks will chew up your new tires some. Thanks Mrs. Stoney Ridge for the camera work!!

[@DaleDirt]

Awesome , looks fun and being productive . Way to go.

[@bcgrittner]

[@williamdomey7584]

Never knew there was so many different types of couplings for tractors and skid steers. Your videos are very educational.

Funny, I seldom hear the same music from channel to channel. When I do, it's a usually a similar channel theme. But your background music is the same as Kevins on "310 pilot". Good music, I just smile when I hear it. because the channels are so different! Enjoy your channel (Thanks to Seth.) Cheers

[@seansysig]

Now that's a very useful implement!

[@alane6555]

Josh, How good are you at judging length? Cut the tree as high as the clipper will reach, then drop down about 18" clip, repeat until you get to the ground. It's really a firewood machine. Love you channel!

Kinda cool how you have one version of cutting trees and Arms Family Homestead has another.

Man! Looks really handy to have on your property 👍

[@jtc1947]

OUTSTANDING! WHOOOOO!

[@josht4659]

Since you are using the implements on both machines you should make adapter hoses for each machine. One set the stays with the tractor and another set for the skid steer. That way you do not have to swap the connectors each time. The adapter hose only needs to be 6 to 10 inches long.

[@BuildingTheHaven]

How cool is that adjustable wrench? Definitely need that in my tool box. Great info on the couplings. It's all new to me. Very helpful.

[@farmingforfunandprofit940]

ORB(o-ring boss) fittings have mechanical threads (national fine) Over my many years I have become well versed in hydralic fittings....

[@alwayssomething3259]

As stated above those are ORB fittings also known as SAE now. Only reason to specify is there is another type of common O-ring hyd fitting but it is O-ring face and looks completely different but is important if talking on the phone or something.

[@gettingoffthecouchnow]

I would maybe be looking for a piece of plexi glass or wire guard to prevent and branches from hitting you

[@yabetya8809]

I gotta work on on my field. Got to cut back the tree line and mow down the field

[@steveb6103]

Doesn't take much oil to make a big mess. The flat face couplers are great for dirty conditions as they seal when disconnecting. One of the biggest enemies of a hydraulic system is dirt. Some of the others are water, air and heat. Also the ones I use are able to be locked in place by turning the outer ring on the female side. That way out can't bump them off by accident.

[@azrodo1]

That's an awesome clipper. Side thought, do those tracks tear up the ground more then tires? They look great.

[@dwaynetempest3433]

We've been running grouser cam tracks on our skid steer forestry mulcher you might want to take up the tension on those tracks some supposed to have 2in if you put a straight edge across the top you can run a little loose but man they are really loose okay we also used run-flat tires great combination

[@dwaynetempest3433]

And I just got to the spot where you ordered new tires and you know they need to be adjusted

[@danaowen9014]

Thats a great and useful tool.

[@amossnowdaharleyman9179]

Handy gadget. Looks expensive though. Still waiting on the rebuild on the MF tractor. (hint,hint)

[@rickysafer2895]

Josh that is a back saver and a chainsaw blade saver really handy.

[@calmac06]

Looks like a useful attachment for certain situations. Not a fan of the lack of control for felling direction on upright trees though. Kinda think the hydraulic fittings on the cylinder that runs the shear are a little susceptible to damage. See 12:35 or so for how they could get damaged. Anyway, pretty neat!

[@brianmeattey4151]

Nice peice to have ..always waiting to see your vids bud ..godbless

[@GoodOlBoy1976]

I dont know if you watch the Armsfamily homesteed channel but tey also have great tools for your skid steer. Both cutting trees and stump removale. You might find some thing you could use on your farm.

[@Will7981]

You might already know this but a word of advice is to always expect a chunk of wood to come flying at you when using that. I know it's got a cutting shear, but on excavators when you are grabbing some types of wood, like maple, they sometimes explode sort of and sling a piece at you, really hard. Someone I know got hit in the stomach with a chunk of wood like that. It almost hurt him bad. I just thought I'd pass along a little knowledge from my own experiences. I hope it helps. Enjoyed the video. I like that shear.👍🏻

[@gilliland426]

[@jerrywalker2699]

[@whitehunterx5122]

With such a heavy skid loader is soil compaction a problem for the farm? When having the tracks on the skid load how do you keep from tearing up the grass and top soil? I'm just curious about these issues.
