Josh, enjoyed the video, really enjoyed the truth about fighting forest fires! People don't understand that fires are nature's way of reforesting

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

Amen...natures way of dealing with invasive species

[@downsouthcrawler97]

Hey josh I was a fireman for 10 years of my life, and if you don't have access to a portable water supply "brush unit". Always carry a gas leaf blower. I have fought a ton of wildland fires like this. Just stand on the unburned side and blow it back to what's burned. Works 100% of the time bud.

[@roybattles8884]

A friendly suggestion: Instead of burning, find areas, on your property, that need erosion remediation and dump all of your cuttings in those areas (as long as they don't impede a stream, violate county regulations, etc.). I used to burn, but now I have five composting areas on my eight acres. I've been filling these areas for eight years now and they never seem to get full - the composting process reduces the compostable tree trunks, branches, leaves, grass clippings, etc., down to fertile soil that can be used or left to restore the land.

[@BrianFox]

I always start my brush fires down wind. Just like you did. Keep pushing the brush into the fire side so it stays manageable.

[@thomasdesmond2248]

I don't care what they say you look like wearing safety gear. It is not a fashion statement it is about your life. Good on you Josh for wearing the safety gear. God bless

[@batpherlangkharkrang7976]

Hi..... Thank you 🎥👍👍👍

[@jimlycett4480]

Here is a little tip I learned recently. Take a two gallon pump up sprayer and fill it with diesel or heating oil. It will not explode but will help the fire to burn much more quickly if you have brush or small limbs and is so easy to deal with if you have any fire going.

[@adambutera4192]

You can use the ash in your garden to grow stuff next spring! Win win.

[@Karl_Degraa]

Pot ash. Potassium.

[@tklemm4]

It's great that you made this video for anyone that hasn't burned brush before. I've had certain times where it has come close to getting away from me before I learned how to control it better so hopefully you will prevent someone from making the same mistakes.

[@paulrice1918]

My son has an everything attachments grapple for his Bota too and you are correct it is one of the most used attachments we have and they are tough. We have been clearing brush filled fields for a farmer that cannot do it for health reasons. He does have some bigger equipment than our BX2670 that we look forward to using too when he gets it going again.

[@BrodiemanAXT]

Am a sista hat enjoys watching you do stuff her city boy hubby does not do. I can always hope that someday he will be handy sort of. lol Thanks for sharing your daily chores.

[@countryboy63077]

I liked this video a lot makes miss the days using our wood stoves. The heat it produces is so different from electric heat. I also use to sell some wood, and I had come across a costumer that wanted only hickory wood for for her stove because of the wood allergy her daughter had developed. Everything she had used caused a very bad reaction, but when she burned hickory she was always ok, and the family could save money as well enjoy the heat. Has anyone else heard of this? I’ve never researched the effects of burning wood.

[@rogerholloway8498]

Very colorful fields this time of year. You are spot on regarding the burning of debri. Thanks for the video Josh.

[@ricdenali4213]

When Working out by yourself. Safety first always!

[@stevensargent6222]

Wind fall's like that I just cut them as if I'm felling them; notch to the ground side, then plunge cut leveling about 1/2" to 1" hinge wood and cutting all the way out of the back; BUT STILL STAY CAREFUL AND SAFE. This took me a few tree's to get it right just like it takes a few tree's to get felling right, practice is good.

[@jakeschisler7525]

I had a mess here last year from hurricane Irma, we lost a Live oak tree that started uprooting naturally the power line ran right next to it. Lost 3 Slash pines but one was dead already. But made a huge mess. Lost branches on tops of Live oaks as well and they are still up there. The guy I bought my tractor from brought his crew in and didn't charge a dime for that, which was awesome. Every tree lost most of their leaves looked like a war zone.

[@ArkansasPilgrim]

Man, my tractor is out of commission. I've been nursing it along, but it has a blown head gasket, and I don't have the cash to re-build it right now. Hopefully, I'll be able to after the first of the year. If you have any property at all, a tractor is a must.

[@jimlycett4480]

Here is another tip about cutting your tree. Before you cut too much of the top out take a chain and hook it to the little end and pull it sideway. You will have a huge amount of leverage. It will break the root ball loose and save your baby grapple a lot of work. I know you don't want to tear up your field but I leave as much of the tree in tact as I can and use the chain to drag it to where I am going to process it. It saves a lot of trips. 3 burn piles tomorrow, new years day. Good luck all.

[@Rdrake1413]

The nutrients will go back into the soil faster by burning. Chipping will take longer for the nutrients to go back into the soil as it will take longer for the wood to breakdown.

[@dmw83831]

your doing things the right way . if others don't ... that's their problem when they get hurt . when living on the farm there are 2 rules . safety is always rule # 1 ... rule # 2 ... see rule number # 1 . nothing beats the farm life . it's hard work ... long hours and your always dirty . but at the end of the day ... you know it was all worth it and the next day doesn't get any easer . I worked on my Aunts farm each summer growing up . i waited all school year for summer to come ... just to go work on the farm . if you never worked on a farm you will never know that feeling . keep up the great job , and tell the Mrs. to get on the videos more . nothing like a little stoney farm eye candy to help make the day a little better . have a great day sir .

[@JK-co6wk]

My grandfather always dug big deep holes for brush fires. once it was burnt down he would just push the dirt back over the hole and bury everything. It also kept from the fire spreading across the ground You still have to watch for flying embers but the wind didn't seem to control the fire as much it was down in a hole compared to on top of the ground. he would also soak the pile down a few days before with gallons of diesel fuel. He used a backhoe instead of a tractor.

[@BIGALTX]

I’ve got a 72” grapple for my Kubota M6800 made by a company here in Texas. I absolutely love it. It’s not “Wicked” ... But it IS awesome!! 👍

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

lol...yep I love it...it's a little different than my big tractor grapple...maybe one day I'll do a comparison video

[@alvon911]

Terrific musical selection on this video

[@jkhenderson1]

Really enjoyed the video! Excellent points!

[@treeclimbing7798]

Hi Josh you do great stuff. Keep that great attitude. This is where a large excavator comes in handy to re:pile the brush. Watch out for your hydraulic lines, don’t melt them. 🙀 I swear I can smell the fire in Michigan.

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

lol...yep gotta be careful for sure!

[@Mike-uh2gw]

I just ordered a grapple, bush hog and box blade from EA. Great company. Like to see you using USA made equipment.

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

Nice...yep good people...did ya tell them you saw me using it?

[@keithhughes2936]

The ashes are good to turn in your garden my granddad uncle and dad do it every year before planting. Someone told my granddad he tried it for a couple years and found it to help so my uncle and dad did it again found it seemed to help. So every year they find stuff to burn

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

Yep...them ashes are loaded with nutrients for sure....ash actually contains alot of lime...when we first got the farm I used ash from a local wood burning power plant to restore the soil

[@billfischer6464]

@@StoneyRidgeFarmer I'm pretty sure I read as a kid that Indians used to burn they're fields like yearly or whatever to give back to the soil. I may be wrong but seems I was a kid when I read or was taught that.

[@smoothbore4377]

The basic elements of that brush pile are not "lost" by burning ( rapid oxidation ). The brush is simply being reduced to it's basic elements more quickly than the slower oxidation process, that we call "composting". Wood ash is commonly used to produce "Potash" fertilizer ( Potassium Carbonate ).

[@ronpalmer9681]

[@kevinshuffield7314]

Josh, you are 100% correct in wearing safety gear. I had a chainsaw kick back on me last October and it cut my lower leg clear to the bone. After 42 stitches and a lot of healing I now own all the same gear you have. People dont run a chainsaw without proper safety gear, please! Learn from my mistake!

[@phillully4472]

Josh you sure have to burn a bunch of brush piles. all that 190 acres keeps ya very busy. Best wishes to you and Mrs. Stoney Ridge... take care till later.

Loved the video. Burning puts carbon back into the soil faster.

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

Yes it does...burning is just a fast way of composting in my book

[@daviddobson8933]

No you need to clear ant tree that will reach your fence if it falls. Trust me I had to go back and do it. If you don't want your cows out and repair fence all the time do it.

[@gregorycumming1871]

You might consider adding a piece of 1/4 inch plate steel over the opening in the grapple in front of your tractor, most times you cannot see what you are pushing and a stick can come through and dammage your tractor or hydraulics, this is what I have done and it works well

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

Thanks for the tip brotha

[@thomasryan8218]

I love watching fires.

[@IHav2BlackCats]

What you said at the end there no one seems to understand. Frequent small fires are much better than scarce massive fires.

[@stephaniewilson3955]

Why not chop off the root-ball before cutting the fallen tree up? The mass of the tree should be enough to stay down while the root-ball falls back.

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

a million ways to do it my friend

[@jalverson2006]

Lost two goats to wild cherry limbs like that. Good point to bring up. Good job bud

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

Sorry to hear that...most folks don't know that cherry can be toxic to goats..until it's too late! Also....Lillys can be toxic to cats...found that one out the hard way!

[@randomcountrystuff7953]

[@Buzzworthless04]

Your closing speech reminds me of the story of the now extinct passenger pigeon. There were once many, many white oaks in North America due to periodic woodland fires. The Regularly occurring wildfires were fueled by the enormous numbers of passenger pigeons in the wild, which would contribute to debris on the forest floor via excrement and broken branches. White oaks thrive after natural forest fires. This would explain why don't see nearly as many this day in time.

[@ericeichenberger3865]

Why don't you use the wood that you're cutting up to heat your home as firewood instead of just burning it up and wasting it I live up in the Northwoods I have a Wood-Fired furnace and a wood stove plus a gas-fired furnace and I use my wood fired furnace a lot saves a lot of money

[@misscindy1596]

I thought of that too but 1# he might not have a woodstove 2# it maybe the kind of wood nobody wants to put in their woodstove( here its cottonwood and i cant use pine in our woodstove its too hot for this new woodstove,when our pines die we cut up and give to my neice that can burn in her stove, hate to waste when someone else can use.

[@paulatwood9794]

Amen on that Eric. I preserve as much wood as I can to heat my home. Utility bills are astronomical here in Indiana (Duke energy). if Josh were to stockpile on all of the wood that he has had down from previous times he could cover it and stockpile for years to come.

[@ericeichenberger3865]

Miss Cindy 1 wood stoves are sold at Menards and its cheap heat.. 2 soft woods burn dirty yes but just means clean your chimney more frequently.3 if the wood burns too hot wait a few years till you can start using it cuz as long as the one doesn't sit in the dirt it'll burn and it'll be good it'll be nice and dry and go up quickly

[@misscindy1596]

@@ericeichenberger3865 yes woodstoves are available in alot of places but i dont know if josh heats with wood, alot of people dont want to.the type of insert woodstove we bought it is highly recommended not to use pine it gets too hot it can warp and damage, we clean our chimney regularly.our old house with old woodstove we burned some pine.but alot of these new ones you cant burn pine just alittle to start your fire and thats it.we have been heating our house with wood for decades my husband has cut wood his whole adult life and yes dried wood is very important.i saw big logs on that fire in the video and i dont know what kind of wood that was

I really liked the video. I feel like I'm learning a lot. I also feel the need of paying back with some helpful safety info. I noticed you was wearing gloves when you was running your chainsaw. Its not a good idea to wear gloves when running chainsaws, skills saws, or any type of power saw. If the gove gets cought in it, it will pull your hand in and make way more damage than getting your hand cought without gloves. Thanks again for the videos
