Another great job, thank you for sharing, always a pleasure watch your project, everything you do it is awesome 👍👍👍👍

[@TheHomePros6221]

thanks carlos

[@tythebelieveguy4228]

This guy takes valuable time out of his day to make a video. You guys watch it, and all you can do is complain about their methods used to remove the tree. Can’t ever win with you guys 😏

[@TheHomePros6221]

thank u man 🙂

[@cdmajesty4803]

Exactly! I have no idea how some of these people even survived puberty.

[@Ants_Pants]

Nice work on cutting dem tree's down, crazy how much weight that mini can lift. Thanks for posting

[@TheHomePros6221]

Thanks for watching brother!

[@DrSweetshaft]

Flip flops and chainsaws... excellent!

[@TheHomePros6221]

lol

[@retired2.5acres]

Excellent video. Found myself sitting on the edge of my seat while your maneuvered that little excavator around. It is surprisingly powerful.

[@TheHomePros6221]

Many thanks! I’m really glad u enjoyed it!!

[@TheHomePros6221]

it’s a lot stronger than most think it can lift some heavy stuff!

[@davesworkshop2714]

Excellent video Darrell. That is one beautiful spot you're living, wish we had more trees around us. That excavator really earns its living!

[@TheHomePros6221]

Thank you for the wonderful comment Dave!

That was a great video, Darrell. Awesome color and clarity. Audio was really good as well. Keep up the good work!

[@TheHomePros6221]

Thanks clay!,

[@campbellpaul]

Take THAT, squirrels! Let's hope they don't regroup. Great video.

[@TheHomePros6221]

Haha 😂

[@seenithere]

Another great video. Those nuts appear to be some kind of chestnut, if it is a horse chestnut its's poisonous to humans. If you had squared those logs up on your saw mill they'd have made some great timbers for the bridge, in another video I noticed you drove the tractor over it, thought that was a bit sketchy.

[@TheHomePros6221]

I did this before I got the sawmill. I’ve actually cut up a lot of this wood (hickory)now on the sawmill and made some beautiful mantles.. ect with it

[@UndergroundMetalDetecting]

Would love to have one of these for our crazy metal detecting adventures!

[@TheHomePros6221]

what’s a good cheap metal detector to use? I have a old Garrett one but I never used it and I want to start metal detecting

[@UndergroundMetalDetecting]

@@TheHomePros6221 Minelab Xterra Pro works just like the high dollar detectors, but retail is only $269, we love ours

20:14 Nice leg assist haha! Cool project!

hahaha thanks 🤣

[@joeloyd56]

A very nice job.

[@TheHomePros6221]

thank u joe 🙂

[@richardkilb8305]

Those look like black walnut trees, that timber is worth$$$

[@TheHomePros6221]

They are hickory

[@son-of-a-gun]

I like the little excavator! I did not like how you did the tree cutting and loading onto the trailor. Think before you do.

[@TheHomePros6221]

I got it done tho

[@TF856]

Did you consider cutting notches into the bank to lower the ends of the logs into, then you wouldn't have to pile up so much dirt on the ends to make them level with the ground.

[@TheHomePros6221]

yes I actually did this after but never put it in the video

[@thefirewooddoctor]

Remind me, what size is this little excavator? It sure as heck punches outside its weight class in the lifting department.

[@TheHomePros6221]

I beleive it’s like 2,200lbs and it’s a beast at lifting for its size

[@thefirewooddoctor]

@@TheHomePros6221, that puts it in the 1.0T class, meaning metric tons if I understand excavator rating classes. Am looking into the Red Runner excavators, the 1.7T with hydraulic thumb should be about $19k plus shipping. Think is Canadian brand made in China.

[@markromano1458]

Great video! What brand & size is mini? Can you tell what it cost? Thanks

[@TheHomePros6221]

Thank you it’s a 2012 ihi 9vx-3 I paid 9,000

[@markromano1458]

@@TheHomePros6221 thanks, I found that after watching more of your videos. Have fun digging

[@TheHomePros6221]

Thank you 🙂

[@chandlerbailey5256]

How much did that excavator cost? And where did you order it from?

[@TheHomePros6221]

I prob paid to much 9k, bought it locally off marketplace

[@diyretiredcpt9507]

Better use a culvert than cutting some trees.

[@TheHomePros6221]

it was temporary I sawed the logs on my sawmill and made a actual bridge

[@andrewcooper8980]

From the look of the brown leafs, it’s been at least 6 weeks later.

[@TheHomePros6221]

What u mean? Btw I ended up pulling these logs out of the ground and sawed them up on my sawmill which made some beautiful mantles and boards

[@RobertGarcia-mr8fc]

where did you get the thumb

[@TheHomePros6221]

I made it check out my other videos

[@kassiameng4119]

Are you an excavator dealer, dear The Home Pros

[@TheHomePros6221]

A dealer?… no

@@TheHomePros6221 dear, do you need another machine for your work

[@rjsuper6587]

That was some dumb shit, start to finish!!

[@TheHomePros6221]

Cool thanks bud have a good day

[@NilsKall]

God video BUT! Come on, no safety gear and one dude cutting in shorts and sandals. With pro in your channel name I think you can do better. Yes I could se your comment on PPE so im guessing that when editing you could see that it looked a bit……lacking. Glad no one got hurt, there was a piece of wood from another three that landed right next to you 06:00 so bad things could have happened. The mini performed great as usual and that thumb sure is great! Have a good weekend! Regards Nils

[@TheHomePros6221]

I have safety gear and this is no excuse but I keep a lot of stuff over at my parents house and that’s wear it was all at, I should have drove over there and got it but while I had the help over at the time we decided to just get it done thanks for your concern!!

[@NilsKall]

@@TheHomePros6221 no problem, it was just concern of your well-being. Maybe next time you will show us how it should be done!

[@TheHomePros6221]

Thanks brother

[@TF856]

OSHA regs and PPE are required on contracted job sites. If he's doing work on his own land, I don't think they're required.

[@NilsKall]

@@TF856 I was more concerned of their safety than what any rules or regulations might say.
