Need a few more tree huggers sticking up for the beavers. They are a menace. The ones saying leave them alone are the first ones yelling when their property gets flooded
now is the best time to take them out , they don't have a chance to rebuild before it freezes over , less flooding come spring time , Cheers from Heres
I am looking at 100 acres with a small cabin in the adirondacks (NY). there is a stream thru the property and evidently there is a beaver pond (4-8 acres). question: do I need to get rid of the beavers? or can i just leave them? could there be bass in the pond? and could i sustain bass in there? (they said it 6 ft at its deepest. )
i say leave them and if need be trap them to control them...yes could be bass in there and yes you could add some fish to it. if you get rid of them te pond will eventually disappear as the beavers maintain the dams.beaver meat is actually good if you know how to prepare it.
@@Xs_UnKnOwN Sorry Alex, but in this case I am fully aware of what would happen to my excavator in conditions like as those shown here. I have experienced freezing rain weather conditions where my excavator was parked on bare ground after being shut down for the day, nobody around at all, and considerably less slope than this. Then overnight ice formed on the whole machine and under the tracks then gradually , slowly, the machine started to slide towards the edge of the parking area and into a roadside ditch. That ditch is what saved the excavator from sliding right out onto a major roadway. The excavator in this instance, did not tip, it merely slid away on it's own. I can assure you that these steel tracks are NOT your 'friend' in and on, icy conditions like this.
I wish I could upload a picture, I have some ones you would love lol. Never operated in ice, but mud and swamps I can vouch for can be sketchy. I was talking about the actual tipping point of the machine, wasn't attacking your point of view at all. Cheers
@@Xs_UnKnOwN A couple of points here for future readers of our comment;...when my excavator slipped into the ditch, it was working on that site,..it was merely stored there \and on dry ground when they weather 'took over'. Secondly, I did not mean that the operator here in this video was about to roll or tip because of the angle, per se, I was referring to the snow covered grassy ( slippery ) slope he was working on. ( Although I can see where my comment could be taken as meaning that,..) Alex, I understand your comment, and herein lies the problem when we chat via 'RUclips commenting', isn't it? we can't portray our meanings easily,...at least I can't. Hahaha! And you are correct,..I gotcha, .. Cheers Brother!
They will find another Creek and damn it up also. Then when the water gets back up to a certain point they will build a dome in the center of the pond and access it from underwater. This keeps Predators out. In a rural suburban setting these ponds and backed up Creeks cause all kinds of problems for homeowners floods leaky basements, sometimes the water goes septic that is a considerable health hazard, and they are a breeding ground for mosquitoes. This guy breached the damn in the winter time and drain the water so the wolves will have access to the Beavers smart move, otherwise you have to give them a case of lead poisoning
@@feonor26 they'll survive the winter just fine, that was just a dam, not the lodge where they actually stay, dams are built to hold water deep enough so they can build there lodge which they enter below the water's surface to make it more difficult for predators to get in, and they can rebuild a dam that size in a couple days
Looks like thats had to be done a time or two judging by all the logs laying behind the excavator I believe if I had to do that ofter I would make myself a flat pad to sit on and put a stop to that sliding crap.
Not necessarily. The Beavers house most likely was not in that pond. Quite often beavers have a series of dams that they use to make it easy to travel.
If you set all of the beavers building on fire before you left...you would not be returning so soon to dig it out again. They have all the material to rebuild with & it's a down hill pull. They were rebuilding that dam that very night. Next time burn their old building material before you leave.
You could almost hear the seat cushion squeak as his but checks grabbed hold when he went sliding down the incline for about the 5th time.
The beaver, nature's greatest engi -
Human: hold my beer.
Don't know why but I always find this hypnotic lol
TheGodParticle I
Me too!! Cannot stop watching these
I work in a cube and tap on a keyboard all day. I watch these and think "Yeah, I could be happy doing that"
Bit surprised the driver didn't excavate a flatter 'platform' for himself to eliminate the slipping and sliding - but he got it done.
the Beavers were out gnawing through his house footings

Slippery stuff to park on! :) .. great job!
Working well, and great video 👍👍
They destroyed the beavers home
Doesn't look like its the beavers first offence with the piles on the sides lol. I'm also from Sask.
I noticed that as well
Good work! Have a good'nnn
So many pointless scoops. Drove me nuts. Get it over with already! Lol
@immarkster Rule #2 - which wasn't followed - dig the area as deep as possible, to discourage the beavers from rebuilding in the same area.
While you are doing this do the beavers have to hi vis coats and hard hat and where are the orange cones
Uh, drive motors go at the back of the machine. You put all the weight on the drive motor bearings when lifting and digging.
Looking at the surrounding landscape, where did all the trees come from?
You don't see any trees right
Did the beavers cut down all the trees? Where did they get their building materials?
Whoever is running the excavator...I can tell that is not his first rodeo. Good job! I enjoyed watching!
ole cat skinner that has the touch of gold lol , cheers from heres
And I was thinking the exact opposite.
He nearly falls in at 3:35
I was thinking looking at that pile of logs he's dumping onto. This isn't the fist time this has happened.
If he was really good he would have spun the tracks 90% to what he was raking in and had less chance of dragging it down the hill.
430 beavers gave this a thumbs down
That guy knows how to deal with wer beavers
Who would win? Toothy waterdoggo versus grabby longneck boi?
What was it hurting? Why take it out?
why remove the small dam? especially now in winter??......curious
now is the best time to take them out , they don't have a chance to rebuild before it freezes over , less flooding come spring time , Cheers from Heres

Humans always destroy nature lmao dont build houses near them
Beaver will be back, they always win.
"Beaver will be back, they always win."
Only if you think becoming a beaver skin is "winning".
my 330 conibears always win..
@@alextheduke8221 quick and clean, you can't beat that design. I knew an old man that used them for wolverine trapping, it's one hell of a trap.
Muito bonito
They will likely use those very logs to rebuild.
Niceeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
so satisfaying
Beavers are great for the wild. The dams stop floods and create a wild life sanctuary.
Sure as long as they're not flooding your lands
There are a few moments there when that operator came close to a roll over. Working on a frozen grassy bank is courting disaster.
Not really you'd be surprised at the point in which a digger tips if operated correctly

We don’t have beaver in Australia,what happens to them when you do this?

sweet!
thanks , cheers from heres
Its got some Flow now...
That frozen ground was definitely working against you
Operator has balls of steel
SERIOUSLY ?
Couldn't he at least wait until spring?
Why?
@@kevincarmack581 Cause then they'd survive the winter and have plenty of time to build a new home somewhere else

Why was this pond a "problem"? Isolated location appears unaffected.
Joe A how can you say this is isolated when you only see a small part of it
Joe A do you know what’s down stream?! Didn’t think so, doubt he would have did this in the freezing cold if he didn’t have to
Na naszej budowie POLICE II też mieliśmy takich operatorów koparek . Jak by na to nie patrzeć to byli wręcz cyrkowcy !
What was the dam hurting?
Must be kind of a thrill to be on frozen ground and have the tracks slid.
2:12 Look at the center of the screen and next to the brown bush you can see the beaver sitting there, he looks pissed.
Is this not ilegel?
Them Beavah's be having that water stopped right snappy. Its what Beavah's do.
who did this....?????
why they block the water flow....????
to have a swimming pool or what.....????
Бобры кричали:"ВОДА!!!"
There's gonna be some Pissed off beavers
Now that's how you treat a beaver.....dam.
Seems to be a waste of time what did it achieve?
too small of equipment but he got it done!
TheStuffz plenty big enough.
look at his truck. I think he has a size problem.
Good skillz 👍
That was risky but still did it nice work
got that done
Looks like thats had to be done a time or two judging by all the logs laying behind the excavator I believe if I had to do that ofter I would make myself a flat pad to sit on and put a stop to that sliding crap.
what hasn't the back of that machine not hit. wow
Cool vid, but try to not work over the final drives, they will thank you later $$$
should of had tracks side ways but good work
Clearly not your first day on the job. I enjoy watching pros at work
Cruel thing to do in mid winter?
Not necessarily. The Beavers house most likely was not in that pond. Quite often beavers have a series of dams that they use to make it easy to travel.
Beavers don’t live in their dams. They live in beaver lodges they build separately from their dams.
Evicted in the middle of winter
That Beavah be laughin' at you if and when you slide that machine in the creek.
You know how long it took the poor beavers to build that?
like 2 days
Ward, you were awful rough on the beaver last night
perfect . see if bo beaver can fix this . beavers hold water and do more flood damage alot of good land . . best time to do this .
Why oh why cant we ever leave nature alone.
Either you never had to deal with beavers, or you live in a city.
Those beavers will put every stick of that meteral right back that's what thay do is build dams
I don't see any trees but I guess if there's a beaver about, they'll be wood.
That dam has been broken a couple of times before. Remove the problem.
Good job buddy! Oh how those critters are a pest!
Those beavers wont be very happy
You're lucky that beaver wasn't armed.
couldve done that in the spring when their pups had a small chance.
That's the point. He doesnt want them back.
Why winter? The ground is frozen so you can get the machine in. The loss of water exposes the beaver to the cold problem solved.
Who else thought that was a 7 out of 10 pucker factor.
Y would u wait til winter to destroy the damn
I love beaver
It cut off too short.
Just like beavers instinct is to build dams, most humans see beaver dams are are compelled to tear them down
Best time to remove a dam. Looks like that site is popular for beaver.
Beaver got the memo!!!!!
Master Klass!!!
why do beavers even do this in the first place?
Becausde they are beavers. Dunno...ask God.
Just like mowing the grass. It'll come back.
damn dim beavers
I bet if you change the title to "Excavator Almost Slides Into Icy Creek Removing Beaver Dam" you will get more views. Nice vid!
Another problem nearly created. :-)
Toss some wood and mud in front of u and sit on it, Help with traction.
Almost screwed up bad!
Okay but why?
If you set all of the beavers building on fire before you left...you would not be returning so soon to dig it out again. They have all the material to rebuild with & it's a down hill pull. They were rebuilding that dam that very night. Next time burn their old building material before you leave.
A not a novice operator of beaver dam removal equipment, any ways for this video! :)
Operator.
That's the nastiest water I've ever seen. Black swamp water
same sticks are coming to rebuild it. beaver say that leave closer so be easer for me
Throw one of those bigger sticks across under the front of the tracks.
Talk about fun......
won't someone please think of the children!!
Evicted in middle of winter shocking land lord
Beavers typically build and live in lodges they build up stream from their dams.
Yep, few times thought he was a goner.
Why
Now if you dig a hole and cover up all em sticks,maybe they won't rebuild it in three days.
My understanding, they will use fresh cut sticks and not the old ones. That is why there are so many dead sticks lying around.
@@soberpickle8195 you.made me think. I looked it up,and your right. Beavers cut trees mainly for food. Building the dams is secondary usage.
That guy is not very good at using that equipment
black water?
Tony x the color comes from the soil
Beav is pissed, look out at the farm house!
Yep, this guy is definitely getting paid by the hour.
