I’ll look but I gotta go milk the cows. What’s in your protein mix if are willing to share. Our newest jersey cow had her first calf and our fancy mix and overpriced Timothy hay don’t seem to be keeping weight on her.
Great job Evan, glad you didn't hurt anymore that you did on this video. Hope the majority of the fence posts burnt up completely. They do burn hot and long. Thanks for sharing with us, stay safe . Fred.
On brush burns I always use the bucket. It keeps the tractor and the loader hydraulics back further from the heat . Also less chance of running a hot branch threw the radiator or hydraulic hoses. Just my opinion!! Be careful and God bless!!!! Eddy
well when the fire is done and all that is left take the old fence wire out and just take magnet and it picks metal left and just let the rain soak ash to feed the field its good for it
I had no more sent you a text about not seeing any videos lately and your new one popped up I enjoyed watching you burn that big pile of brush and I’m glad nothing happened this time and I hope your GoPro is OK
I bought one of those torches and it has an igniter built in. I took my old 2 wheeled cart and made a few adjustments so it stays on and made a bracket to hold the torch itself. First time i burnt brush in Illinois I seen the fire department come by and I had run a water hose to it. Now the fun time with a magnet to get all the nail and staples picked up.
Nice job. I burned my brush pile on Tuesday and I went well. We had a few inches of snow on the ground and the temperature was in the 40’s. Great burning weather. Some of the bigger logs burned for 3 days.
Evan, I’m sorry I missed you at Louisville. I use a 4” piece of pipe that is 10ft long as a pusher for fires. I welded up some brackets that would allow me to connect it to my slightly open grapple with pins for easy removal. This allowes me to push/poke fires from a safe distance from the hyd hoses and tires on my tractor. I can send pics if you would like.
I use my tractor and bucket to push piles while stacking and burning, I don't see anything wrong with it at all. Like you said, a person just has to be careful when doing something like that. Thanks and have a great weekend!
I had a cleanup like that with a trip to the dump with wire. They wouldn't pay for the wire but were willing to at least take it for free. I just wanted rid of it anyhow. I think burying the ash pile is a great idea. Just in case there is any staples or bad things for tires.
Try adding some old engine oil to your diesel. It sticks to the wood as it trickles down through the pile and doesn't flash off so fast, so you need less of it to get your fire going.
I have to burn my pile as well. We usually burn in the winter with snow on the ground. This year, we have only had a few inches, and there is no snow at this time. If we don't have snow, I am supposed to get a permit to burn.
Great channel brother Evan! You should fab a grill cover for your tractor. I had a branch shoot through and crack my grill when I was pushing the brush plié last time. It would be a good project for you channel as none of our tractors have anything but the open guard from the factory.
Burned a smaller pile a week ago. We have a controlled burn center number to call with land location info and how long the burn is expected. Had snow on the ground and on the pile, took ten gallons of diesel to get it hot enough to sustain itself. Wound up using a small chemical sprayer to direct the fire. Used the blade to push. Always an adventure on an acreage.
@charleswilber7912 Was a tough go. One jug was contaminated fuel , the other was summer diesel. The pile was extremely wet. The sprayer was great at directing the fire. Not the best time to burn but there's lots of dry grass in the area which was a cause of concern.
You and the wife have come a long was over the years i have been watching you from the beginning of your channel what ask for you to do from now on is stop expan wy uou did this and that you do it the way you wont to do things around your place don't worry what other people think because you ant going to stop them for say you should have done it this way out thay way just be you be safe love the channel
i burned a big pile and nothing would grow there until i spread some compost in the spot and tilled it in . was told the ground was sterilized from the heat . the compost worked it started growing the next season
Great job. Love me brush fire videos. The pyro in me thought at the end, splash some more fuel on the light stuff. It would make for a spectacular flame for a minute of two and probably burn all the light stuff, but that's just me. 🙂
i helped a friend with a burn pile that was 20 feet long and 10 feet wide and 10 fee or more tall! we started it around 9 in the morning and burned way past till the next day and we used the bobcat to stir it up. that was a sight to see and hot hot hot!
I hope the metal is manageable and you get a few bucks for it at the scrapyard. Just don't think the coals are out and put them in the compost pile. (sorry..couldn't resist) 👍👍👍
Pushing with the grapple closed was a good idea. It definitely wouldn't have been any fun to get that wire caught with burning posts stuck in it. I probably wouldn't have thought that far ahead 😂
Thats the way I would do it. Close the jaws on the grapple. All you would need is to catch one of those fence loops and you could have backed out with a bundle of fire coming with you. . That would not be cool. Fine job. Keep up the great videos. Cheers.
I need to burn a few piles too, but I don't have any fencing materials in the pile. I would dread having to get all of the wire and staples picked up. Hopefully you have a roofer's magnet that you can roll over that area once the fire is out. I've been rolling up old barbed and woven wire and it's a pain to get it wrapped up neatly in a bundle to move it. I piled it up on the bed of an old truck that will be scrapped at some point and haul it all off at one time.
I've melted a lot of the hydraulic hose covers on my grapple....lol. It's pushed a few burning brush piles together and dropped many logs and brush on top of burning piles as well. Probably not the smartest thing for me to do but, like you said, you try to get in and out a quickly as possible.
You who have all the equipment and who must frequently make fires you should build an object with a plate in front that would serve to push the branches without risking to damage your tractor.
So glad your Go Pro seems to have made it ok. Just my 2 cents worth. Don't take chances on losing expensive equipment just for a few seconds of some kind of shot like that. Its just not worth it. Doesn't do a thing for me personally. I'd much rather watch from the tri-pod position. More enjoyable. 😊❤❤
Might I give you a suggestion on fencing that pasture? If it were mine I would fence the area in then run a fence North to South cutting the field into. Put a gate in the middle of it , that way you would have two pastures fields. I would put a gate by your house for easy access.................I know it would cost more but it might be worth it in the long run. You could fence in half of it that way and do the rest later on.
We will have a gate near the house. But I will use temporary electric fence to divide up the pasture. That way I can remove it, and still cut it for hay.
When I burn brush like you did I always use my tractor never had a problem with it but I do use a bucket not a grapple that would scare me that I would get something stuck on it and pull it back out of the fire
could also set it up in smaller piles in the forest for bird habitat, equals more pheasant and quail for hunting season, if itis too big a bit of time with a cahin saw will shrink it down
I was cringing when you wore the yellow gloves to throw the diesel fuel on the pile, then you were still wearing them when you lit it. 😅 Sometimes you really get away with stuff you shouldn't. KEEP SAFE!!
Very likely there are drainage tile 24" under ground, so you may not want to bury fence trash. Also, hydraulic fluid is as flammable as gasoline, if you have a leak & near open flame.....good way to lose equipment.
Learned your lesson with the stove ashes, eh? Evan.! Good video. Awareness of Wx when burning brush piles is very important. But were those old fenceposts creosote treated or locust posts?
Don"t forget to close fence Evan cause the Animal can run away ho Evan if you have troble with animal that need protection get Donky he will protec them .
For that dry stuff I would have used a match and maybe some straw. Spread the charcoal around and offer it to your livestock. Apparently it is a natural dewormer.
Good afternoon tasks complete. Are you worried about nails and staples left behind? How will you come with tire safety in this area post burn? Or am I foolish to worry?
Just a tip-or at least my technique-dig a trench 3-4 feet deep to burn in then when the fire is out pull any wire/nails/T posts (Go-Pros 😂)out of the ashes and push the dirt back into the trench. This way you don’t have to worry about nails and staples getting into a tire or ingested by livestock.

Great job! Just a little recommendation, after gathering up the wire, be sure to use your nail magnet to try to pick up any fence staples.
Hardware disease is a nasty way for an animal to pass.
@@skipskehan6097 I was also thinking how those long staples can damage tractor tires.
Agreed.
I’ll look but I gotta go milk the cows. What’s in your protein mix if are willing to share. Our newest jersey cow had her first calf and our fancy mix and overpriced Timothy hay don’t seem to be keeping weight on her.
Hit the play as soon as it popped up! The ‘don’t try this at home’ bit was hilarious
Hi.... Evan and Rebecca thanks you for showing your video homestead bye 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋👍👍👍
Thanks for sharing, always enjoy your videos.
That little tractor is doing some work.
Great job Evan, glad you didn't hurt anymore that you did on this video. Hope the majority of the fence posts burnt up completely. They do burn hot and long. Thanks for sharing with us, stay safe . Fred.
On brush burns I always use the bucket. It keeps the tractor and the loader hydraulics back further from the heat . Also less chance of running a hot branch threw the radiator or hydraulic hoses. Just my opinion!! Be careful and God bless!!!! Eddy
Good burning fire. Smart to contact everybody who would need to know if there was a call. Thank you for sharing.
I found it helpful to put the diesel in a 2 gallon pump sprayer and walk around spraying the fire. Tim in northern TN
Agree on that. Just dumping fuel on the wood makes a big flame which goes out promptly and leaves charred wood in a pile.
well when the fire is done and all that is left take the old fence wire out and just take magnet and it picks metal left and just let the rain soak ash to feed the field its good for it
Great video mate hope you are all doing well God bless you and your family and your friends.
I enjoy your channel!!
Yay, Evan!!!! I have been waiting for this burn video. AWESOME!!!!!!
I had no more sent you a text about not seeing any videos lately and your new one popped up I enjoyed watching you burn that big pile of brush and I’m glad nothing happened this time and I hope your GoPro is OK
I have watched you burn many piles , remember the big tree that just didn’t want to burn ? Looking good. God bless
Nice job Evan!

Great job Evan! Thank you for sharing! Always a great video!
Good job Evan, a very relaxing video. I LOVE YOU GUYS !!!! 🥰🥰
Hopefully you have one of those magnet bars you can roll around the area. Looks so nice with all that scrub gone 👍👏
Love how u have to explain everything so u r not flooded with neg comments lol . Great job
Nice job. I burned my brush pile on Tuesday and I went well. We had a few inches of snow on the ground and the temperature was in the 40’s. Great burning weather. Some of the bigger logs burned for 3 days.
Nice job Evan. Endless jobs on the farmstead. Keep it up!
That was SATISFYING!

What a delight to be teased of bloopers by your gleeful subscribers 😂 You are a sport 😅
Great work. Looks like ot burned up pretty nicely. Keep it up!

Now that's the way to start a brush fire! Great job Evan! God Bless you guy's!
Try adding some old engine oil to your diesel. It sticks to the wood as it trickles down through the pile and doesn't flash off so fast, so you need less of it to get your fire going.
An accident waiting to happen 😂 always enjoy your channel
We used those old hedge posts for firewood. They will dull a chainsaw pretty quick but the heat they put out is worth it.
We burned up many fireplace grates burning hedge and it throws sparks like crazy but I don't know of anything that burns hotter.
all the charcoal in the pile is good for fertilising the field it was used back in the olden days farmer used to use ash to fertlise the field
I have to burn my pile as well. We usually burn in the winter with snow on the ground. This year, we have only had a few inches, and there is no snow at this time. If we don't have snow, I am supposed to get a permit to burn.

Absolutely!!
Probably raised the soil ph
Would burning pine make it acidic

👍👍👍👍👍👌Perfect nice burn and clean up!!!
You did very well, if the tractor was all I had I would have used it also. Great job!
Another interesting one. Plus a fire!!!
I have an idea. You should scoop all your hot coals up and dump them onto your compost pile. lol
Great job Evan!! Have a great evening
Looks like a mini letsdig18 style bonfire! 🔥😊
Okay, you got me to sub. I too like to burn things, although not on such a grand scale Well done. ✊🏻🖤
Pulsefire flamethrowers….most fun brush burning tool you can buy…😎
Be careful when pushing burning pile as well because if you have any hydraulic leaks, it could catch fire. I have seen tractor's lost because of that.
Pushing with the grapple closed was a good idea. It definitely wouldn't have been any fun to get that wire caught with burning posts stuck in it. I probably wouldn't have thought that far ahead 😂
Thanks Evan
This video was about as exciting as watching mold grow.
That blue denim looking material is ballistic nylon. Good stuff.
Wish I was there to enjoy the aroma!
You did good 👍🏽
Thats the way I would do it. Close the jaws on the grapple. All you would need is to catch one of those fence loops and you could have backed out with a bundle of fire coming with you. . That would not be cool. Fine job. Keep up the great videos. Cheers.
You did a Great Job
Great Bon Fire, all went well...👍🏼

Hopefully you have a roofer's magnet that you can roll over that area once the fire is out.

You who have all the equipment and who must frequently make fires you should build an object with a plate in front that would serve to push the branches without risking to damage your tractor.
Great video Evan.
Another great vid well done
Those ashes will be good for the soil as well but don't forget to pick up the old fencing pieces.
Great job 👏 👍 👌 😊
NICE VIDEO.
So glad your Go Pro seems to have made it ok. Just my 2 cents worth. Don't take chances on losing expensive equipment just for a few seconds of some kind of shot like that. Its just not worth it. Doesn't do a thing for me personally. I'd much rather watch from the tri-pod position. More enjoyable.
😊❤❤
We often dig a hole and burry it partly for the wild life to nest in.
The rest we throw in the wood chipper.
LOVE THE CHANNEL, GOOD LUCK
I'd be worried about spiking the tractor tyres on the wire. Hope you don't have a flatty tomorrow. Hi from New Zealand.
I used to use old fence post split into kindling
Great job🙂
Used motor oil is great for burning and cheap!!
Might I give you a suggestion on fencing that pasture? If it were mine I would fence the area in then run a fence North to South cutting the field into.

Hi Evan,ed from Vermont
You should buy the red dyed diesel for offroad, no taxes
great one..
could also set it up in smaller piles in the forest for bird habitat, equals more pheasant and quail for hunting season, if itis too big a bit of time with a cahin saw will shrink it down
Now thats a fire!
Recomend using some wood to get the fire going
It might take an hour extra - but it will save some dollars
I was cringing when you wore the yellow gloves to throw the diesel fuel on the pile, then you were still wearing them when you lit it. 😅 Sometimes you really get away with stuff you shouldn't. KEEP SAFE!!
far less dangerous than the compost bin fire 🙂
Thanks to this video .. I now understand, The phrase.. "Porno for Pyros' Shoulda brought some hot dogs ..
I like scrapyard videos
Very likely there are drainage tile 24" under ground, so you may not want to bury fence trash. Also, hydraulic fluid is as flammable as gasoline, if you have a leak & near open flame.....good way to lose equipment.
Not going to put the ash in the compost pile. (I'm laughing with you!)
I'm an old man now and an old man told me a long time ago if you wasn't breaking stuff you weren't getting anything done 😅
In Ireland you are not allowed to burn a brush pile like that either put it through a chipper or pile it up and leave it to decompose
Real men no longer rule Ireland
Learned your lesson with the stove ashes, eh? Evan.! Good video. Awareness of Wx when burning brush piles is very important. But were those old fenceposts creosote treated or locust posts?
Hedge or Osage Orange Posts
Don"t forget to close fence Evan cause the Animal can run away ho Evan if you have troble with animal that need protection get Donky he will protec them .
The heat from a brush pile will give you a sun tan. The heat is super intense
For that dry stuff I would have used a match and maybe some straw. Spread the charcoal around and offer it to your livestock. Apparently it is a natural dewormer.
Damn ,a bon fire no hot dogs or s'mores
Hay, where did that bail come from with two stirring on it? You have a wire bailer. Thanks for the new video Evan.
I had to buy hay. I didn't have enough to make it till spring.
Good afternoon tasks complete. Are you worried about nails and staples left behind? How will you come with tire safety in this area post burn? Or am I foolish to worry?
Just a tip-or at least my technique-dig a trench 3-4 feet deep to burn in then when the fire is out pull any wire/nails/T posts (Go-Pros 😂)out of the ashes and push the dirt back into the trench. This way you don’t have to worry about nails and staples getting into a tire or ingested by livestock.
