@Diggin_Life22 as others said it... it looks very easy which I think it isn't. The Art is teaching and showing how it is easy in order to motivate us all and go forward, experience and get knowledge. That's your Art and we thank you for being here, project after project.
Always enjoy watching your videos and appreciate how you explain what you’re doing and why! I’m clearing primary Locust, Ash, Mulberry, & Hedge with a Cat 310 and need all the help I can get!
Great video. My wife calls my little 306 my office! The stumps I find a challenge are the sweet gums . I will take a 24 inch yellow pine over a 12 inch sweet gun all-day. It was fantastic to see you spending time with and teaching your daughter. Looks like you are a blessed dad!
In my area (central Alabama) we have mostly Loblolly pine an they tend to have big and deep tap roots, making them hard to dig out. Sweet gum and sycamore also are really tough to get out. Gums have a big tap root, but sycamore just has a huge root ball. I enjoyed watching Emma run your machines. Maybe my granson will help me some day.
Todd, I have been watching Chris with that monster 350, incredible machine, you were getting beat up pretty good in that cab today, sure miss Emma taking away all of the brush, be well my friend.
I hope the viewer that complained about you burning understands that even burning provides benefit. When you burn organic material, ash is created. This ash is very nutrient rich. It also helps filter water and has many other uses.
Dry ground! I spent the weekend near Trust clearing. Couldn’t get a break from the rain so I watched your videos. You make it look way easier than it is.
I have been removing pines less than 8” with a 4-ton excavator. The machine does very well up to that size...after the operator learned what to do. Usually three scoops and out. Learning how to burn green wood was important, too. In a pit, I let the fire burn, slowly feeding it to get a good burn going on trunks, then soon after she is good to load up at will.
Have a guy in my area went into business making firewood in Central Wisconsin he hauls wood from here down to you guys because there is no firewood he's making great money at it he's got himself a nice spot to process it he dries it then he sells it he trucks at all over the US
Even if she doesn't take a big role in the family business, she'll never forget the memories made and lessons learned. Great example of good parenting, Todd. Keep up the good work, Bro.
Curious why you drop the trees then get the stumps out…takes way longer and is more difficult. The worst thing you can possibly do is fell the trees then come back to remove stumps, especially with a smaller machine. Would charge a customer more if they pre fell all the trees, thinking they would save money, then asked me to clear the stumps. I seen you did it correctly for a few of them but seems like mostly the hard long way. Curious why?
@@fhuber7507 he is literally pushing them the direction they need to go while he is cutting with the saw…soooooo. I have been doing this exact work for years now and what you said doesn’t make any sense and certainly doesn’t make sense in this situation.
Hey Brett, great question. You’re completely right. I know the video doesn’t do it justice and I wasn’t able to get the best angles but given the slope and surrounding trees that I didn’t want to hurt I couldn’t get the machine in position to have enough push to confidently push the trees with stump attached. With a notch and cut I was able to put the trees right where I wanted. Thanks for asking. I’m sure many others had the same question 🙏🏻

That's awesome ! I miss your helper !! Where is she , today ? I LOVE YOU ALL ! 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Great video, Emma does make it better!
One of your great videos Todd! Thank for the work with the stumps... 🙂

Awesome, thank you! I’d say that 310 has a got bit more leverage than my 309
@@DigginLife21 The smaller the excavator, the more Operator technique, skill, & seat time matters. It’s definitely a learning experience!
Nice work! Todd looked like those stumps bounced you around a bit, but you won the battle...lol. I hope you have a great 4th of July

It was pretty rough. I missed her too brother

I really like how you cut up and separate limbs from trunk of tree. Very efficient and organized,Letsdigit like. 😅great job as always!!!
Thanks Pat!!! I’m a little ocd🤣
Question How ❓️ 🤔 many miles of Trails are you making on this job 🤔 ???
G,day Todd Hey Happy 4th july to you and Family Mate .........
Man, that's an awesome spot. Sadly, mine isn't designed like that. Guess I'll have to hope and pray with bungee cords still. Thanks for showing that!
Yeah brother 👍👍👍

I can see her being your partner after she finishes school.
I would love that

Sometimes you can't push the direction you need it to go.
