Interview With A Combat Marine
This is a 2 part series where I do a sit down interview with Dan. Dan is a friend that I met several years ago when we worked together.
Dan is originally from Southern California and we were lucky enough to have him end up in Iowa,
Dan has some rather unusual experiences and humorous tales to tell. Dan did combat tours each in Iraq and Afghanistan., while serving with 2nd Battalion / 5th Marines. Although he chooses to stay away from tales of actual combat, his time in the Marine Corps is something of legend.
After his time in service with the Marines, Dan got out and became a civilian security contractor and went right back to Afghanistan.
Special thanks and shout out to the you tube channel...

WE ARE LOGGING
Просмотров 2,1 тыс.3 месяца назад
This is the second in a short series I am doing on the logging we are currently doing. The emerald ash borer has wreaked havoc on our ash trees in our 100 acre woods here in Northeast Iowa. They have killed every ash tree that we have. Last fall, I completely used up 5-13oz spray cans of the bright marker paint marking all of the dead trees to be harvested. The trees have very little value as t...

I recently started trying to clear out old overgrown fence rows. I wasn't getting anywhere and was getting sliced to ribbons by all the thorn brush.

Super heavy duty and very high quality steel construction. Also in this video, I do a channel shou...

LIFE ON THIS FARM FOR OVER 100 YEARS

This is soon to be a century farm as my family has operated this farm since 1923. My grandfather first rented this farm from 1923 -1927 when he purchased the 224 acres on a bank foreclosure for $9000. This was an active dairy, beef, and hog farm until 1986 when we had the farm sale. There was a time when we even had 185 laying hens. There was never a shortage of work that needed to be done on t...

In this video, we fire up the old girl and head down into the woods to load up a load of firewood. It was cold and windy today so the heated cab felt pretty good. It was also nice having a little bit more tractor to hold back the load coming off of the big hill and down the logging trail. It has thawed just enough to be greasy and the big hill is nothing to fool around with. This hill can kill....

    You're right about nobody making videos of these being used. Other than a few little demo videos, there's not a ton out there. I'm looking at the L3901/2 and videos of that in use are even more rare than the 2501. It's a shame because the DT models of the two have different transmissions - the 39 looks to be more of a true shuttle shift and I believe it's fully synchronized. It also has a 2 stage clutch for the PTO, allegedly... But of course I can't confirm any of this because the dealers don't want to stock the DTs and nobody is making videos with them 🙄. Thanks for doing what you do!

You should be able to copy my set up for around $20-$25 minus the magnets
