It's nice when the skidder can drop a load of tops next to your burn pile, and you in turn give a clear path to the drop area. Good to see the D6 earning her keep, too. I know it'll be a bit longer, but I'm looking forward to seeing the new pond build. Knowing you and Bealy, it's gonna be a beauty!!!
Can really hear your loose track on the D6! All that stumping is fun for about 2 hours then it gets old! Excited to see the progress and of course you starting the pond!!
so satisfying to see the process and all the prep/clearing/cleanup steps. You know you have a good team when boat loads of work get done and the crew does not have to speak a word to each other, yet all seem to know what the other is up to and able to stay out of each others way. The landing may be one of the nicest the logging crew ever "just stepped into" from the first day on site. Thanks for taking us along!
D6 still proving its worth! Land and soil looks amazing when stumps and debris removed. So enjoyed this video! Thank u so much. May God bless u and keep u safe.
Bringing back good memories, we took D6c 65 E Komatsu ,dig down enough in front of the piles to get the radiator fan blowing in them and really burn up some stuff quickly.
You take the good with the bad, dry conditions make for hard stump removal but that dirt looks like its coming off the stumps fairly easy. this makes for better burning. the pyro in me cant wait for the big burn pile. Maybe Betty will make an appearance in the pond build portion of the project! Big girl can move some earth once she's healthy!
Chris, you are a real team player, which makes the job go so much easier for everyone. Too often I don't see this, you are top notch. Thanks very much for sharing.
I'm helping a friend clean up some stumps with his little JD 1025 that has a backhoe on it. I spent almost 5 hours getting a single 14-inch pine stump out of the ground. The whole time I'm thinking you would have snatched that thing out in less than a minute!
If AMI is watching this….I really think they should send you one of their Root Rakes that matches up to your thumb….It would definitely speed up stumping and brush clearing efficiency. Great video!! Going to look awesome when done, especially with the pond.
I have been watching from afar a trio of those dangle things sitting on a knoll that they barely fit on. They spent about 2 months logging about 10 acres of UNDULATING hillsides. They moved one of them over on the other side of the mountain and it took about 2 weeks to do the same area on flatland.
After watching yours and other dirt works channels, I've noticed that Volvo has a very distinct sound. A crew was clearing and digging a basement up the road from me and they had a 250. I knew it was a Volvo, even from a fair distance.
Would it be cool if their was a machine. That Could pulverized the ground 2 foot down like a big a tiller. To grind up all the roots and top branches. That would make it ready for planting or whatever you want to do with it
Not the logging im used to. No pine up here. No bean poles... Rarely do pulp wood guys get a chance.. Timber ground is kept as timber. 40 years or longer is best trees. All hardwood.
I dread all the stump you have to remove🤦♂️. It is much easier to up root the trees from a stumping stand point, but then again it’s gotta be hand cut which isn’t cost efficient. Hopefully the d6 makes cleanup a lot easier.
Feel bad for Mr. Bealy.....that newly remodeled farm house is in the middle of the DUST BOWL, Chris! 😫 The amount of WORK it takes to clear land is....🤯!!!! The slope of the ground is NOT what I EXPECTED. 😉
So interesting to see what people in different regions can do with the brush and slash. The folks at Lumnah Acres in NH had the loggers chip all waste and send it to a power plant designed to run on chipped material.But not everywhere has such plants and that is unfortunate
Good afternoon Chris Tell you what you are really going to be busy cleaning up that property for the next few weeks by the looks like it You are definitely doing a great job there Chris
That stumper makes for excellent production. To try to bid a job like Bealys would be a large investment of equipment and your selling work time and I would think that other jobs that you do has a better hourly return for your work. You do very good job at everything that you do, keep up the good videos.
I too enjoy a nice little campfire from time to time. I have one houselot of stumps hidden in the woods that I should probably bury, and another that have been sitting long enough I might burn them if I get another brush pile going
Hi Chris, are those Loblolly pines? Family friends in the southern end of NC had about 50 acres planted in 90, and logged off about 05 or so. Fast growing stuff
The skill and co-ordination of the logging team is making me happy. As is the stumping attachment, so effecient! The lack of understorey plants shows the effect of all that pine. Shame its too acid to put the tops and stumps thru a grinder and add to the soil.
Enjoyed the video,lot of work goes into clearing of the land,I’m sure quite few people did not realize how much work is involved.glad you had good weekend,probably needed it.carry on and continue doing your thing.👍👍👍😎😎😎
Mercy sakes!!! Stumps, stumps, stumps and more stumps! 🤣🤣🤣 But no doubt you’ll have them cleaned up in record time. In any case, this job is going to be lots of fun to watch. Thank you Chris for all the careful planning and hard work that you put into making these video’s enjoyable, informative, and entertaining. You’ve got the magic touch. 👍
One thing I was wondering about is that you're making this a pasture. Why not leave some trees for shade for whatever critters you're going to have in the pasture,?
Hi from uk chris👋👍 great start to stumping process and them skidders cant half pull a forrest👍 and you know when chris says a ""a campfire"" its gonna be wild 🔥🔥 the bigger the campsite the the later the nite 👌😂 or longer the weekend 😂 D6💪 should if pulled them too stumps you out with it cat picks up where volve left off 👌 thanks for your time and be safe see you soon👍👋
I thought you'd already be tired of stumps given the other job! 15 acres here? I bet you will be after this! I'm always surprised that the landowners don't take advantage of the 'trash' wood and cut firewood for themselves. This is going to be an epic build.
How much firewood do you think they'd need compared to the amount here? I'm sure if any of it is decent burnable wood they'd take a bit but this is mostly trash rotted out poplar and pine, not quality firewood.
I always think of the tree hugging side when I see logging.... it's such a shame - but it's no different than farming crops or animals - its there for a reason. I also almost feel cringy saying this too - due to the negative conotation - but for tree removal - you need them huge clearing machines they used in Avatar.... point and shoot & that's cleared the area.
That's a lot of work there Chris. Betty sure would be nice on this one (hope surgery goes well on that btw) . Hope the storms weren't too bad down there.
Only other thing you might have tried to do different was you pushing the trees over/dig them out root wad and all then let the skidder drag them to the dangle head. Granted probably have him cut a bit closer to the trees than where you put the road entrance.
The logger would get on far quicker with a harvesting head itl feed delimb and cut to lenth in one operation it would also do away with tbe skidder and the buncher feller all u need is a forwarder and the harvesting head on the 220 volvo . 2 operators plus at least 10 times quicker than this current method scandanavia and europe bn doin it this way for over 50 years . On all timber types . It would make the operation so much more profitable . In speed of operations .
Chris, can the stumps be left behind in the middle of the pond area? Seems kind of pointless to stump all of that area. Around the shallows and anything near the dam makes sense, but out in the deeper water? Seems that would save a lot of hours. Also might be natural fish habitat as they rot.
Looks like a job Betty would have been perfect for pushing all the debris over to the burn pile. If it ain't a pond, it's mud or stumps Chris is taking care of for his customers / clients. By the time he retires it'll be a long list of people glad they met and hired him and half the time him and his Uncle John. No matter what it's another awesome video from Chris to while away a Tuesday evening.
I think, had I left bonnie Scotland many decades ago, I would have bought good land, lived in a caravan and planted "high demand" trees, intermingled with 25 year growth trees.
I am glad to be your subscriber.Your channel is very engaging. It is best in presenting Mini/heavy machinery videos, as well as you working hard everyday to provide such amazing videos to us
Hope you enjoyed the Pa. trip and being with Mike and Matt. So today your name is Lets Stump18? How soon before you bring Wilma dozer with the root rake in there? I`d bet your 'little fire' will be like the one you did on the clearing job down by New Bern and the solar farm.
Enjoy watching your videos very much I enjoy heavy equipment but I would like to ask why is it that while you're cleaning all this up with the D6 that you do not have a rake on it that would help keep a lot of your dirt out I would think?
Between you and the loggers it is a class act of efficiency. Great to watch such professionals. Thank you.
I like how your working w/ the loggers, keeping everything moving forward, & cleaning the site along the way, good job!👊💪
It's nice when the skidder can drop a load of tops next to your burn pile, and you in turn give a clear path to the drop area. Good to see the D6 earning her keep, too.

Fine job stumping and clearing sir. Like you said, gonna be busy for a while. Great stuff Chris.
people who've never run equipment will not understand, your that skidder driver's hero for making him a path
Even more so as the area cleared becomes larger so the skidder had more room to move without driving over stumps.
D6 still proving its worth! Land and soil looks amazing when stumps and debris removed. So enjoyed this video! Thank u so much. May God bless u and keep u safe.

What a great team you all make. Was really instructive to see how it all works. Thanks for sharing it Chris. Be well. ;)
Nice camera angle on the dozer. Can see the blade and pistons working.👍
I love watching your channel liked all the heavy equipment but for most watching you control your machine so perfect
Chris, you are a real team player, which makes the job go so much easier for everyone. Too often I don't see this, you are top notch. Thanks very much for sharing.

Man those trees have grown in packed really tight. Lot of work ahead. Take care & cheers 🐨🦘🥰
Going look nice , ready to see the pond built!! Nice job
Thanks for sharing Cris. Thats going to be the tidiest site those Loggers have ever worked on,LOL.
Dang Chris that pile is so high we will be able to see in Texas. You really did a lot of work clearing and stumping. Loved the aerial. Thanks

Sometimes that slash gets left behind and serves no purpose but to annoy the forest animals as they move around. :)
Here in New England skidders never work without chains over the tires all year round.
Same here in Western Canada Tim.
Good afternoon Chris

This is a big big job for a one-man band. you’re doing a great job so far, keep up the great work.
That D6 does the brushin and flossin all in one lick what a awesome machine you'll have clean fields before ya know it.
Articulate can you say that! Dawns silly ☀️
I too enjoy a nice little campfire from time to time. I have one houselot of stumps hidden in the woods that I should probably bury, and another that have been sitting long enough I might burn them if I get another brush pile going
A bit surprised not burning as you work nearby. But am sure there is good reasons.. Thanks for the video.

For the needs of Chris and the pond he is building, not really. The lack of under storey and no mulching woods makes the job easier.
I think that answers my question about using a heavy-duty mulcher for the stumps
Bealy must be printing the Cash 💰 to have ALL of this Work done on his property. 😬👍
Wow! Now if we figure out a way to get trees to grow that fast!
D6is running great and the project clearing is coming along!
Pulling them stumps like riding a bull, place is looking great but waiting to see when you start digging for the pond
Enjoyed the video,lot of work goes into clearing of the land,I’m sure quite few people did not realize how much work is involved.glad you had good weekend,probably needed it.carry on and continue doing your thing.👍👍👍😎😎😎

we are
The international Space Station is gonna think the whole state is burning when you light that one off Chris!!!
Hi from uk chris👋👍 great start to stumping process and them skidders cant half pull a forrest👍 and you know when chris says a ""a campfire"" its gonna be wild 🔥🔥 the bigger the campsite the the later the nite 👌😂 or longer the weekend 😂 D6💪 should if pulled them too stumps you out with it cat picks up where volve left off 👌 thanks for your time and be safe see you soon👍👋
Would it have been easier when it came to the stumping, if you had pushed the logs and brush off the stump area? Nice video. Hard work.
yep salvage what you can , everyone needs tp some more than others , gonna be a big fire, quick cleanup with the rootrake
Great video 👍 👍 U might have to shorten the stump drops and cleanup every little stick.
I think the one who cuts the logs also
appreciates Volvo's fast and accurate functions.
I can come down from Virginia for a few days each week and help you get it all cleaned up.
Great vide, Chris. I love it when the D6 comes out to play-helps to clear my ear wax!-lol

Now that’s a bucking Volvo lol. That’s what you feel in your back in 25-30 years
You and Brutus have your work cut out there Chris . Good to see you handling it. Stay safe with them loggers about 👍
That's a lot of work there Chris. Betty sure would be nice on this one (hope surgery goes well on that btw) . Hope the storms weren't too bad down there.
your logging is so much differant than here in western Oregon and Washington nice video

That is some pile. :) Thank you and have a great day.
The future brush pile fire is going to be HUGE! It might be visible from Australia.
Gonna be able to roast marshmallows at 300 yards.
I'm sure they appreciate what you're doing! 😀😃
That good Ole Virginia/North Carolina Clay, harder than concrete at times and other times so soft and wet you can sink out of sight.
It’s coming along great !

I wonder if that would leave leaky holes in the bottom? I don't think that wood will rot as long as it underwater.
The area where the pond is going has to be dug out. So all the stumps will come out anyway.
Digging slop or clearing land. That looks like it could get monotonous. 🤤 the old dozer towards the end sounded a little rough in the under carriage.
This is going to be a really big burn!! Love the work going on in this video.
“There’s just not enough Chris to do it all”. I suffer from that too.
Looks like a job Betty would have been perfect for pushing all the debris over to the burn pile.
If it ain't a pond, it's mud or stumps Chris is taking care of for his customers / clients.

Rain off and on till Monday. An American Dozer with a Swedish stump flinger 😉 Be nice if that clay runs deep
You're going to be really busy for a while. I thought you have been very busy up till now. Can't wait to your videos coming up.
Yeah, that’s going to be a mountain of a campfire!
Chris, which is more efficient for you stumping? The D6 or the Volvo with the stumper?
On a stump job that size.... a 950 would start to look pretty good. One pass and done.
Looks like a great place for the D6.
Ahh the great joys of being cost effective. Have a ton of stories I could swap with you. Where I come from sometimes egos got in the way
As usual love the videos. Keep up the great work!!
All going well they maybe able to see the camp fire from the space station bro, there sure is plenty of fuel for it. Safe travels
Hope you enjoyed the Pa. trip and being with Mike and Matt. So today your name is Lets Stump18? How soon before you bring Wilma dozer with the root rake in there? I`d bet your 'little fire' will be like the one you did on the clearing job down by New Bern and the solar farm.
I remember as a little kid my grandfather would go to the dynamite truck and set some sticks under the big stumps and boom!!!!!
NC is a bit like New Zealand, heaps of pine trees, and yet the price of timber goes up and up, go figure.
Some Scarlet Oaks or Red oaks would be beautiful trees to plant around the 5 acre pond. Beautiful red colors in fall
I would want a bigger machine for that much land
Man, big projects lately. I can see why you will be fed up of pulling stumps. That is a big area.
Are those little pines gonna be the next $15 2x4’s at Home Depot, lol. Nice video
Enjoy watching your videos very much I enjoy heavy equipment but I would like to ask why is it that while you're cleaning all this up with the D6 that you do not have a rake on it that would help keep a lot of your dirt out I would think?
He does have a rake on the D6.
Look again and you'll see the rake...
Bud,your the king on that stumped and thumb,
Wow, that's a real cool machine.
Hurry up and set fire to the huge pile Chris , it’s cold here in the uk ,my country could do with the warmth from it 😂
Think you might need a Burn Permit for this little fire!
All trees that size the full tree went right through the shredder
That pile going to be so big . I may be able to see the flames from my house
Given your going to be harvesting clay for the pond dam wouldn’t it be easier if you dug a huge burn pit?
You done a great job as always!!
