    I like the roll off equipment haul thing you got going on. I run a rollback tow truck but now you got me thinking I could get a roll off truck as a budget-heavy flat deck tow truck.

    You should have enlisted Andrew's help with the excavator and a chainsaw, or his skid steer with the grapple bucket to clean up and organize all that wood. Love that track loader, it's got great power for its size. Great video Dave, keep them coming!

    Be careful with the root ball when they start over, i was pushing a big red oak over and had the root ball roll up under my left track and almost turned my loader over. Luckily i found reverse in time to back off and the root ball caught the lift arms dragging the loader with it all way to the ground, that was my learning experience so when the tree starts going and stop i back up get to the side of it an and roll the bucket under the roots to roll it out the ground. Roots like to pop up from nowhere and poke a nice hole in the radiator too lol

    Trackloader is kinda small for that big of a job, overheating is a sign of that! And the trees are kinda big, need a D-6 or D-8 dozer for that job Dave! Thanks for sharing brother!

    When you push trees over lift the bucket up as you're pushing. This will lift the roots out of the ground.

    $800 would have been a good price to cut that tree down… just saying, but if it can be done by yourself by all means save the money. But for the record $800 for a tree that size it a good price

      I thought it was running out of fuel, I’m not sure if you ever ran a diesel out of fuel, but it sucks. Also this is a non-turbo machine so don’t see why you would have to cool it down.
