Might I suggest a grassland/wildflower area for the newly cleared space? Pollinator-friendly wild flowers are straightforward to maintain, can be quickly broadcast to sead and can be mowed at the end of the season abut stil have roots to prevent erosion.
You guys have got to be telling yourselves from time to time what a great investment this tractor is, you got to love having it. Also, as we woodworkers think about safety in our shops, I highly encourage you to get yourself a pair of chainsaw chaps. They are a must have safety item to have with all the cutting you have and will have in the future.
We actually just paid off the tractor as well which is an amazing feeling. It has made so many projects possible. I actually own a pair of chaps😬 I do where them more when I am bucking up logs, but I do tend to not where them when felling trees. I should though.

Hi guys. I discovered your channel today as I watched Courtney & Riley today on Ambition Strikes. They introduced you two at the end. This was the first of your videos I watched and I look forward to going through your catalog of videos.
It's so cool that you can get real 2" x 4" etc. It makes you realize why stuff made back in the day actually lasted longer and was more sturdy than what gets made today.... Plus that tractor looks to really be making itself worth its buy, as you clear more and more stuff on your land. It certainly beats doing it all by hand :P Hope things are well with you both :)
Right?! When you look at a true 2x4 vs dimensional it’s a substantial amount of more wood. The tractor has been an incredibly reliable workhorse. It’s very cheap to operate and makes quick work of all sorts of jobs. I don’t think we could live without one after having this one for the last few years. I can’t imagine how expensive it would’ve been to hire someone to do all the work it’s done.
My top tree care tips are: 1. Learn to make reduction cuts. Basically make your pruning cut just past where a smaller branch is growing off the branch you are pruning. That lets you prune a tree heavily while maintaining a natural structure and growth habit. 2. Use the 3 cut method when making any significant pruning cuts so you don't peel the bark as the limb falls. 3. When removing a branch, learn where to cut relative to the branch collar, so you don't cut off the branch collar. That is the part of the tree that will grow around the pruning wound, sealing out rot and decay.
Bonus #4 tip: let leaves and other organic matter decompose under trees. That provides nutrients to the soil and helps hold in water. Mulch is good too. Don't scrape down to bare ground or put gravel under trees. Grass is okay, better than bare ground, but it does steal some nutrients and water from the soil.
@@Woodbrew you are both the best example of what life should be...bunch of great ideas, making the effort and sacrifices to reach them and make them reality, doing it while having fun, sharing the results with others so that they can do it themselves...anyway, always been a fan of yours since day one...will always be..you guys are the real deal...sorry for my english..i am Canadian from north of Quebec, doing my best.

Hola! 🖐Nice project, goes to show how a little TLC can go a long way. Really hoping you get that drainage ditch cleared out before any worse weather comes through. Take care and have a good one, Adios!👊
I looked at most brands when we bought this one, but the main reason we went with the Kubota is how close a reputable dealer and service center was as well as their insurance is a crazy good deal.
Hey Dylan, Great job. But a couple thoughts. First! PLEASE don't ever do this kind of tree fielding alone again. Even if its your Ole' Man and Dad in Law parked out on a chair slurping a brew or two. Or in my case four. Second, about that kwansi bonsai tree. Before the camper build my beautiful Molly asked for future build suggestions. I wrote to my heart's delight to use some of your big beefy trees as a tree house/ Jungle gym/ swing set/ with an outdoors roll down movie screen. And kwansi bonsai may be just the right home away from home for Capt. Miss. Molly Jr. and First Mate Dylan. The loudest voice get the grease. Moll's hope you had a great vaca at the beach. Before the hericane blows it to Bermuda. Jim in N.Y.
You can check with compost areas, companies and in your area. They, they've got to be a compost company. The compost limbs a** Whatever you just haul it out there and they'll compost it. And they'll send out a dumpster. And you just fill it up, and then they'll call them. And they'll come out and get it. And I'll take it and compost. It round it up, pull it down on the power. Let it compose there you go. Sometimes they'll do. They'll come out and get it for free
Hey Dylan, a word to the wise. Once the women can see what 'can' be done as to clearing, trimming, planting, fencing, and grading, they start applying that knowledge to all sorts of honey-dos. Take it from someone who learned that lesson the hard way.
Omg, that tree near the house looked so much better and healthier for the removal of all the weight pulling on the branches, good job Dylan. ❤❤🐾🐾
Absolutely love that you have trained your dogs.
I am very impressed with you two. I hope your life together is as great off camera as it is on camera.

Maximum Erg value! 😉 Load of Erg, Dylan! That's quite a dramatic transformation! Looking great! Looking forward to your next! Thanks!
Lol 😂 Thank you!

you should use cheap paint on the end grain of your lumber to prevent splitting while it dries

Love your stump grinder, grapel so Handy!
They’ve been such a massive help around the property

You've got a nice chunk of land there.
We love it😊
Great job Dylon.

Thanks you for all of this great info! I’m going to screenshot and do some more research for future pruning.
@@Woodbrew Use the branches you cut off as mulch for the tree.
Great job on clearing the property Dylan! Thanks for sharing the video with us💖👍😎JP
Great job, got lots done. Now jut keep the insects out of that wood stack.
Yea we need to build a nice covered area to store all the lumber.
You guys need to set up a couple spots to become Harvest Hosts or Boondockers Welcome. Not far from the coast, quiet area, perfect for that!
Great job and great surprises
😁
*Dylon, great job done.... and Molly is impressed with all your hard work whilst she was away.*
Very much so!
Well done.
Thank you✌🏻
Nice work. Looking forward to the greenhouse.
Me too!! 🤗
again, amazing people doing amazing things...You Rock so much and the place is beautiful...
This warms my heart😊

Hope so too! It should be a breeze getting to now compared to before🤗
Can y’all get a chipper to clean up all the branches n stuff?
I haven't thought of this, but that might work for a lot of what we have.
Looked good keep up the good work. I would be interested in a head to head comparison of your tractor viruses a yanmar sa424 which is what I have.
