Bobcat T650 soil conditioner on land clearing food plot project

- Опубликовано: 10 сен 2024
- 03-07-20. Join me as I am nearing completion of this small land clearing project on our Southern Illinois farm as I am expanding an existing food plot for deer and wildlife. This section was all scrub trees when I starting the land clearing on it. I am working on different methods of light land clearing comparing pulling the trees out with the Bobcat e42 Mini Excavator, and also using the Bobcat T650 skid steer (CTL/MTL/SSL) with the Blue Diamond Severe duty cutter, then the Skid steer root grapple and now the Skid Steer soil conditioner. Also some cool drone shots today with the DJI Phantom 4 Pro drone. Stay tuned as I plan to break out the Branson tractor and tiller to do the other half of this new land clearing to compare the 2 machines and methods and see how they compare.

Absolutely love the soil condiooner at work. Love how the land looks after it is completed!
With all of your new toys and Mrs Kapper getting into some serious fishing this year you will never move.
Heck of a job. Looks like it’s coming along nicely! Thanks for sharing.
Thank you I appreciate it slowly but surely
Awesome video! Gotta love those soil conditioners!
Yeah no doubt that is a great Implement thanks
It took my operators about 2 weeks to really learn how to use a Harley rake. Once you learn to angle the head low spots will fill in and it will cut the high ones. They do make one for your tractor. So people that don't have a skidsteer can use one. Just for the record a good not great operator can do close to 2 acres a day getting it to look like a billiard table. Great work showing the latest and some of the best equipment around.
Thank you Kapper
Thanks man yes it'll take awhile to get the proper angles and such down so it works better. But it's usually trial by fire with me LOL yes I almost bought one a while back for the tractor but good to point that out for tractor owners, thanks
Great attachment,..one of the better ones to watch in operation,...but not too close!
LOL thanks appreciate it
A very cool attachment. I think the tiller is going to ball up with debris.
Yeah usually the tiller gets a few roots hung up in it but we'll give it another try.
Looks great sir. Love these videos with the t-650 in them👍🏻
Hoorah! Thanks man I appreciate it. Please share it if you enjoy it to help us out we appreciate that too. Have a good one
Looking great job and beautiful outdoors! 🦌🤜🏻💥🤛🏻
Thanks, appreciate it
I really like that attachment.
Yeah its sweet no doubt
Looking good. I know you are enjoying your new equipment. Have a good rest of your weekend.
Thanks man appreciate you being on board have a good one
Nice job Kap with the power rake
Thank you sir I appreciate it have a good one
The soil conditioner is doing a very nice job of preparing the rough ground for the food plot!
Yep sure will, thanks looking forward to it
Looking great Joe!
I love this attachment. The camera angles are great too.
Thanks man I appreciate it. Now if we can just get RUclips to share it out there a little more.
@@kapperoutdoors I know. I agree. I definitely think you put in the work on your videos.
Hey Kap, thanks for demonstrating the ground mulching power grader. That thing is tough and after 2 or 3 passes (bingo-bango)....work's done. Loved that. Full-watch. Have a fine week.
Thanks buddy I appreciate it have a good one
Looks good Kap.
Do you think you could make a food plot with just the power rake? I’m debating on getting a reverse tiller or a power rake for food plots. Thanks
Honestly, no, the power rake compacts the soil and only works up a small part of it. A tiller is much better for planting anything. Good luck thanks
Lookin forward to the comparison after the tiller been over it 👍👍
Yes sir! Thanks
Looking good! Can't wait to see how it turns out!
Thanks man yes it should be a sweet finished product when it's all said and done.
Looking really nice. Been looking forward to seeing the new bling set up and how you do the inside. Going to be sweet 👍
LOL I hope we don't put any bling in this deer stand :-)
Never used one of these things i do septics I have a t740 and a t76 and do the final grade with the trusty old bucket but im looking into getting one was these for more options driveways etc in your opinion is this implement really worth its weight in gold
Well it is definitely a good implement, but only for certain things. Redgrading driveways, yes it is a master piece of equipment. Grading new lawns and such, yep, it is great. But you really can't put it to anything with big rocks, or stumps, don't ask me how I know, but you can bend the drum. But it sure is/was a great piece for me while I had it. I have since switched to an SR3 attachment. Thanks, and good luck.
Looking good.
That worked great! I wish they weren't so expensive because I would definitely buy one lol
Agreed!
I like the soil conditioner!
Lots of people can give you advice when using the Harley rake but ultimately it’s hours in the cockpit That makes you really good but you’re looking great on it Kap well done buddy gk uk 🇬🇧
Thanks man I agree it's just more time on target Hands-On.
looking good Kapper, I would love to have some of that good looking topsoil on my property
Yeah I think this area used to have animals on it probably why it's got some pretty good dirt. Most of the rest of the farm is all clay LOL
Freaking Awesome!
Thank you!
Looks like it did a good job leveling and smoothing the soil. I don't think the tiller will get the sticks broken down well enough.
Yeah usually the tiller gets tangled up but we'll see how it goes I have not tried it yet although I have done it in the past with the tiller I already know that it gets Tangled. Thanks
Not to bad for the short time spent on it, I thought for a bit that you were leveling it for a bowling green so you could play lawn bowls in your spare time lol.
LOL either that or a golf hole?
A B+ for the power rake..fairly good results in all that junk. You going to go ahead and plant some seed now? Perhaps some kind of clover blend??
Not sure what I'm going to plant yet I have to finish the whole thing first it still has a ways of prep work to go.
Nice. :)
Given what the Harley rakes cost.... very not worth it in this case/usage. I think I would chisel plow it twice then disc it a few times.
Good idea on dropping the tiller into there and see how it does...but wonder if the roots and stuff will just wind around the tiller or will they break up.
Keeping it real as usual Kap
Well seeing as I've used a tiller for years now on plots like this I'm pretty sure most of them will get tangled up. It's just a matter of if it can make one pass over it or not before I have to mess with it and untangle it, thank you
Go over it with the rake on the tractor to pick up all those sticks. They are going to clog up your tiller.
Yes I'm pretty sure you're right. But I've gone over it several times with the grapple bucket and I don't have a tractor rake. Thanks
I have a power rack for my skid steer. I have only used it a hand full of time. I think it isnt worth the 8000.00 i paid for it but thats just my opinion.
