"What do people want to see?" People just want to spend time with Mr. O. When Mrs. O stops by, it's a bonus! Great video! Loved the smashing and bashing!
Thanks for the After Hours video Eric! 😁 You transported us to the forest! It was nice to see the trees, and to have Mrs. O. visit was just perfect! It brought back some really good memories of my youth! Thanks again!
My apologies. I missed the first word and it read like you were writing a porno novel. May perfect sense when I re-read the comment again. Sorry but you shoulda seen the look on my face.
The only thing better than watching another man work from the comfort of my home is to watch him work after he gets home from work, all from the comfort of my home.
You are correct to be concerned about those "widow makers" in your woods. I know from my own experience that working in the woods or anything is a great stress reliever. Good for you folks!
This is the first time ive seen this site! My husband watches this, but i only watch the car repair. Don’t stop. These are all informative, just be safe cutting the trees. Keep up the good work. Great seeing Mrs. O
I'm born and raised in western NY but moved to Michigan 33 years ago. Also worked on cars a lot back then but not anymore. So, I enjoy your video a lot. Please keep them coming. Thanks Eric and Mrs O.
Don't undersell yourself Mister, I was lucky enough to catch the vid you had to delete, I only realised it was gone when I went to rewatch it a few days later so that tells you something, It's great to see someone who's very competent at his chosen craft trying a new one, because it puts us on something approaching a level playing field, somewhere most of us will never be when it comes to diag'ing and fault finding. Loved it, thanks for sharing it.
Not many can make an entertaining video of replacing bucket teeth. You can, Mr. O. And you did. Continue to take us along on your projects and adventures.
I've been watching the main channel for many years now and the outside of work stuff is awesome as well. Any thing outdoors related is great. Can't wait to see more.
Glad to have another great After Hours Video. I'm here for the same reason I'm in Adam Savage's Shop. To be a fly on the wall / on your shoulder and hang out. See you do stuff and inspire me to get my own butt up and do anything. I don't own any property, I don't own a makerspace like Adam, I don't own a repair shop like you. I work on my desk in the office, fart in my seat and at the end of the day I want to unwind when my kid is in bed. That's what I'm here for - you could show us how to dry paint - I would stay here.
My uncle had a long wet trail to put a road through. So he did it the old fashioned way and put down a corduroy road with all the dead trees he cut down on his property. Usually these temporary roads last a few years before you have to get the gravel down them. His lasted an amazing 40 years and throwing down the occasional truck of gravel, it worked out really well for him.
Love this kind of stuff! And get a professional tree service for those couple of sketchy ones. Mrs. O and the kids need you around. Not to mention is viewers!
All I can say is that if you ever get tired of swinging spanners, you've got a future pulling levers - I've seen guys who get paid for that do a LOT worse. Nicely done! And that's a cute bucket. :D The last digger teeth I changed were on a Bucyrus-Erie 2570WS dragline. 3 guys, pneumatic hammers, the hot spanner and a lot of bad language for about half a 12 hour shift. We got them done eventually. It's good to see a bit of the old homestead action, something different to the shop.
Thank you very much for the videos on the JD35D. I'm a Stihl dealer in Ireland who just bought a Hitachi Zaxis 29 U-3. Very close to identical to your JD. I need to do all the things you did to yours but hadn't the time to explore . Your videos will save me a lot of time. Thank you.
Thoroughly enjoyed watching this video. Make all the "woods" video's you care to. I find it relaxing watching folks work the machines. Your comments on hesitation with the tree spear and downing trees is on the money. I've cut trees for firewood and worked in the woods. Although it's labored work, I enjoyed the serenity of being in the woods and completing the task at hand. However, you can get into trouble very quickly. You display a great deal of common sense and intelligence. Move at your pace and comfort level. 👍😉
Mr. O, Just remember that it's better for YOU to choose when those dead trees come down, instead of the tree to decide for you. Yea, definitely be very skeptical of those snags. They don't call them "widow makers" without cause. There is a channel I have watched even longer than yours. It's called Outdoors with The Morgans. Mike just finished cutting a road about the same size as yours. Maybe check it out. He is a pretty good operator and also cut a fair number of trees. Good size firewood operation and also cuts lumber. Just a suggestion. 😊
Every now and then I think it is a good idea to let people see you out of your work environment, Eric. It shows you have a life outside of work. GREAT VIDEO!
You under estimate our living vicariously through you. A man of many talents and while I have experience with a backhoe, I have never run an excavator, so it gives us an idea what the advantages are to this piece of equipment. I think you know most of you audience are men and we love this stuff. Half of the enjoyment comes from your commentary and the way you approach different tasks. Something to be learned even if we never will use this knowledge. I sold the farm, with equipment to live in town, where I still felt the need to have a piece of equipment, so I bought a 590, 2 speed Bobcat that my neighbors get more use out of it than I do, which is great to be able to be a productive member of our town of 92 people. Thanks Eric, I look forward to all your videos, even the ones where you just basically do a podcast and interact with us fans. I know it can be a lot of work and often a pita, but I think you know it is greatly appreciated. Hopefully it is worth your efforts.
Love the After Hours stuff Mr. O! Many people out here are very jealous of the amazing land you have and you get to play on giant Tonka Toys as well! Thanks for letting us join in on the fun :-)
Hey Mr. O, A tip for leaving brush piles.... build a U shaped box out of the junk timbers to contain the pile. Later when nature consumes it, you will have excellent top soil that is easy to scoop up.
Know a guy been doing trees for 40+ years. Cut one that barber chaired. Caught him above his foot right in front. Drove his heel into the ground a foot. Snapped his leg like a twig. He was a long ways in the woods. Only way in or out was a dozer. Emt showed up, put him on the dozer, drove him out. They had to do emergency surgery,. Took his leg apart at the knee, put a rod down the middle of his leg into his foot. Put in plates and screws. He was on a farm not far from you. Putting in a hydro electric plant for the farmer.
Ash makes some nice saw logs too. Thats what you need - a nice sawmill to eat up all that spare time. By the way, John Deere recommends making a click click noise when you are done tightening that 1/2 bolt.
Here's a tip I learned from an old timer. If you want to save your knuckles from a wayward hammer while pounding on a punch, hold the punch between your two middle fingers with your palm facing up. If you miss with the hammer, it just hits your palm, and the grip isn't so tight with the fingers that your hand will slide down absorbing even more of the impact. Saved my knuckles countless times, and it's a short learning curve.
Glad to see you and the Lovely Mrs. O back on the after-hours show. We're "speaking for myself" are not too picky about your content on this channel. We like watching you do what you do after hours. I did like the friendly shooting competition. Knocking a few trees over with both the use of a chainsaw and the excavator just shows us how easy it can be for us who don't have a little forest in our backyards. Thank you for the new content on this channel.
I love see'n stuff like this. Eric, those are call spiral pins and they are made for purpose and that is to break when needed on purpose. There are different styles for different applications but they do the job. Kind of like a shear pin on a snowblower.
Slower speed, lube, and consistent pressure on those pins sometimes gets them with the drill, but you need a torquey boy. Pros and cons to the roll pin setup there versus a solid pin and lock collar. They all bind up sometimes though. Sometimes an airgun aimed between the tooth and holder/forging, while you rap on the tooth a bit, can dislodge some of the dirt wedging it all in place and release some sideload on the pin.
Eric, you just have a good way of explaining things and your video production is great. Just keep doing what you do and people will keep watching! By the way your diagnosing skills are the best! I try to use your knowledge when I have to fix something!
I enjoyed the work setting as beside trail. Your machine skills seem very improved. As from when I recall the first service at the shop. That broken tree as lodged is a particular hazard, and your plan to stay well clear is good thinking.
Dr. O's version of a tooth crown job. on a side note I love seeing your property it's so nice, wish I had some land like yours where I could go far away from everyone
That one tooth was being stubborn but you showed it who's boss!! Nice property! I was changing the backhoe teeth on one of our JD backhoe/loaders years ago and had a stubborn tooth. I got my 3# sledge out and hit one of the teeth on the corner by accident. A chip came off and lodged in my right thigh. The doctor said it was between 1-1/2 and 3" deep. Bled like a stuck hog!
Watching your normal fare gets my attention, but watching the excavator work just about put me to sleep, almost as good as reading a book on accounting 🤣 Enjoyed it all the way through 👍🏼
I watched half of the first woods road video,went back to watch the rest n it was gone. This kind of content is very watchable and informative. You follow the first rule of road building....DRAINAGE DRAINAGE and MORE DRAINAGE!! Keep up the good work and the good videos. 👍👍
Nice to see you out of the shop and in the woods...please give us more thank you. Hey and watch out for those nasty tic guys while out there in your sportswear.
I agree 100% on the dangers of snags & widow makers. I have one widow maker in my yard that just is too high to tackle but is just hanging on like a hair in a biscuit (as folks around here say). I have been surprised that winds haven't dropped it by now. I have known one man back up in NW Tennessee where I'm from that died when a bent limb kicked the saw back onto him. Another man was bush hogging a field when a piece of wood threw forward and speared him. I don't know how high the bush hog was all I know is they found him many hours later when he didn't return at supper time... Safety has to start with you.
Those 35 model minis are pretty handy, not too fancy, but get the job done. Wise choice on the dead wood. A rope or chain and a snatch-block would definitely do the trick.👌 Stay safe out there.🤙
Those 35D’s are impressively strong little machines, you could probably dig several out and push them over in the comfort of A/C and not have to chainsaw. Your trail looks excellent, I’d enjoy more videos of the process. I am an arborist and equipment operator by trade and think you’re doing great.
Trail is lookin great since the last video. With all that dead ash, you guys will never be cold in the winter. “Proper way”. I think 99% of us would be doing it exactly like you are. We’ll torque to factory spec off camera of course. 😎
Good content. Tip for road building: get your base a little above the rest with a ditch like you have, level it and put down some geotextile, then put at least 6 inches of gravel( 12 inches is better) and you will have a road that will not sink and last you as long as you want, can even drive heavy trucks on it. How do I know this? I did that about 35 yrs ago , had all kinds of heavy trucks on it etc and it is still great today. I found that geotextile is cheaper than the amount of gravel you would have to put in, and keeps the good stuff from mixing/sinking into the bad stuff. Have fun and be safe.
Brilliant video! Like a surprise gift you not expected! We don´t want exitement or scary unsafe stuff. We just want you 2 O's to do what you do best. Singing, quoting, bad jokes, it's all fine, in the beautiful manner you perform it!
You were talking about not shooting stuff that's boring. Well, as someone who wants to constantly learn there is very little that is boring to me. I watch a fair amount of construction sized equipment but there is little I've found working with yard size stuff. I've seen Volvo 350 and 550 excavators digging up stumps but it's a different technique with yard equipment. Maintenance on these tools is similar also but different. Don't sell yourself short, you and your videos are interesting and very watchable. Thanks for all your work.
Nice to see you somewhere other than the shop. You'll figure out that lawn dart problem. And you are so correct about somethings on any source. It is just better not to show how you do it.
"What do people want to see?" People just want to spend time with Mr. O. When Mrs. O stops by, it's a bonus! Great video! Loved the smashing and bashing!
I can't tell you how refreshing it is to see that someone else doesn't have a project go so easy....
First time I think we the viewers needed earplugs also😂😂😂
Yeah! You waking up my dogs
I love seeing your "out of the garage" videos, plus seeing Mrs. O is always a bonus!
Thanks for the After Hours video Eric! 😁 You transported us to the forest! It was nice to see the trees, and to have Mrs. O. visit was just perfect! It brought back some really good memories of my youth! Thanks again!
Mrs O arrived because she wanted some _wood_ from Mr O. 😲
Tree roots never fail to amaze how deep they go and how big they get!
They are super strong!
My apologies. I missed the first word and it read like you were writing a porno novel. May perfect sense when I re-read the comment again. Sorry but you shoulda seen the look on my face.
A long time ago I was 8 years old and dreamed of having an excavator. This was a treat to watch.
you just know the entire time Eric is in the excavator he's imaging he's 6 with a tonka truck tearing up nana's flower bed!! LOL
But Cat stocks.
The only thing better than watching another man work from the comfort of my home is to watch him work after he gets home from work, all from the comfort of my home.
The Mr ad Mrs O Therapy channel - nothing like it - thanks for sharing the great outdoors with us.
You are correct to be concerned about those "widow makers" in your woods. I know from my own experience that working in the woods or anything is a great stress reliever. Good for you folks!
This is the first time ive seen this site! My husband watches this, but i only watch the car repair. Don’t stop. These are all informative, just be safe cutting the trees. Keep up the good work. Great seeing Mrs. O
"it's a Monday and I've done peopling". ❤
Excavator work is the perfect escape from people for a bit.
I've always found chopping wood with a large axe helps my mood when I've done with peopling too
I'm born and raised in western NY but moved to Michigan 33 years ago. Also worked on cars a lot back then but not anymore. So, I enjoy your video a lot. Please keep them coming. Thanks Eric and Mrs O.

Thanks for the video Mr. O. & The Lovely Mrs.O .
I was screaming at the video "Drive them out from the back Eric!!"
You finally heard me on the last two.
Bucket List ?
Really like your adventures outside of the garage...keep them coming
Not many can make an entertaining video of replacing bucket teeth. You can, Mr. O. And you did. Continue to take us along on your projects and adventures.

dont put yourself down fella. we love to see these behind the day job videos just as much as the SMA ones
I'm glad you put the ear plugs in.
Tinitus sucks!
Did you just say something 😂😂
@@ronallen6578 huh?
@@markchidester6239 Was a play on the ear comment. Just forget it
@@ronallen6578 lol. I was doing the same

Just doing some new tooth goofin. Always great to see. Love watching forest transformations making room for the young trees.
Any day in the bush plus an interesting bush fix is always good. Thanks.
Your videos help to keep some of us focused on general work that always need to be done. Thank you.
This was a good change of scenery. 👍🏼

I saw an old timer use an air chisel.
I used vice grips sometimes. Now they make holders special made for the job.

Nice work,Eric looks like a great piece of property…
Seeing something a bit different and what your doing after/other than fixing cars is enjoyable to me. It's real life.
I love see'n stuff like this. Eric, those are call spiral pins and they are made for purpose and that is to break when needed on purpose. There are different styles for different applications but they do the job. Kind of like a shear pin on a snowblower.
Love hanging out with ya Eric O out of the Shop Always Awesome to see Mrs O lots of Progress in this Video Nice 34:00 @Eric O - After Hours
Glad to hear you mention @GuiltyofTreeson (37:45). I watch his videos and he’s in my neck of the woods.
The girl with the white truck with electrical issues was the daughter of the tree guy. All your stories have value.
Slower speed, lube, and consistent pressure on those pins sometimes gets them with the drill, but you need a torquey boy.
Pros and cons to the roll pin setup there versus a solid pin and lock collar. They all bind up sometimes though.
Sometimes an airgun aimed between the tooth and holder/forging, while you rap on the tooth a bit, can dislodge some of the dirt wedging it all in place and release some sideload on the pin.

Eric, you just have a good way of explaining things and your video production is great. Just keep doing what you do and people will keep watching! By the way your diagnosing skills are the best! I try to use your knowledge when I have to fix something!
Nice piece of property Would like to see more. Thank you for sharing.
I enjoyed the work setting as beside trail. Your machine skills seem very improved. As from when I recall the first service at the shop. That broken tree as lodged is a particular hazard, and your plan to stay well clear is good thinking.
Mrs O sure works you hard!
You are getting much better operating that machine ! Poplar is good fire wood although it burns a little fast, it does make some great coals.
I don't know how you have all that energy on your weekends / off time outside of the shop. You sir are like the Energizer Bunny!
Well, Eric's proven that already, he has four kids. I'm sure he put in a couple years of practice before making each one.
Dr. O's version of a tooth crown job.
on a side note I love seeing your property it's so nice, wish I had some land like yours where I could go far away from everyone
That one tooth was being stubborn but you showed it who's boss!! Nice property! I was changing the backhoe teeth on one of our JD backhoe/loaders years ago and had a stubborn tooth. I got my 3# sledge out and hit one of the teeth on the corner by accident. A chip came off and lodged in my right thigh. The doctor said it was between 1-1/2 and 3" deep. Bled like a stuck hog!
Nice Job. Looks like you have spent some time in that Cab.
Great choice on property, a good place to get away from those pesky computer modules.
OMG, that makes my ears ring even with the volume off!!! Been there, done that!
Pretty impressive operation of that rig Mr O!
You have a beautiful piece of property and a well knit tight family.
I watch pretty much everything you do not so much for the content but because I enjoy “hanging out with you“. Keep up the great work Sir
Watching your normal fare gets my attention, but watching the excavator work just about put me to sleep, almost as good as reading a book on accounting 🤣
Enjoyed it all the way through 👍🏼
I watched half of the first woods road video,went back to watch the rest n it was gone. This kind of content is very watchable and informative. You follow the first rule of road building....DRAINAGE DRAINAGE and MORE DRAINAGE!! Keep up the good work and the good videos. 👍👍
Nice to see you out of the shop and in the woods...please give us more thank you. Hey and watch out for those nasty tic guys while out there in your sportswear.
I agree 100% on the dangers of snags & widow makers. I have one widow maker in my yard that just is too high to tackle but is just hanging on like a hair in a biscuit (as folks around here say). I have been surprised that winds haven't dropped it by now. I have known one man back up in NW Tennessee where I'm from that died when a bent limb kicked the saw back onto him. Another man was bush hogging a field when a piece of wood threw forward and speared him. I don't know how high the bush hog was all I know is they found him many hours later when he didn't return at supper time... Safety has to start with you.
Those 35 model minis are pretty handy, not too fancy, but get the job done.
Wise choice on the dead wood. A rope or chain and a snatch-block would definitely do the trick.👌
Stay safe out there.🤙
Thanks for sharing on Jed and taking us alond I used to watch that channel. Chainsaws and tree's can't be too careful
Great video you have got pretty good running the excavator!
Pretty handy with that excavator, Mr. O.
Those 35D’s are impressively strong little machines, you could probably dig several out and push them over in the comfort of A/C and not have to chainsaw.
Your trail looks excellent, I’d enjoy more videos of the process. I am an arborist and equipment operator by trade and think you’re doing great.
I want to see what ever you enjoy showing us. I always enjoy the interactions the boss.
Trail is lookin great since the last video. With all that dead ash, you guys will never be cold in the winter.
“Proper way”. I think 99% of us would be doing it exactly like you are. We’ll torque to factory spec off camera of course. 😎
Looks like more fun than than replacing the Johnson bearings on a 1938 hutmoble.
This content is like Outdoor with the Morgans channel. Good stuff.
Good content. Tip for road building: get your base a little above the rest with a ditch like you have, level it and put down some geotextile, then put at least 6 inches of gravel( 12 inches is better) and you will have a road that will not sink and last you as long as you want, can even drive heavy trucks on it.

Really enjoyed the video Mr. O. I'd definitely enjoy seeing more of the After Hours videos as you do work on your land.
"I have done some people-ing and now it is time to whack on something" That's why I'm here. Words of wisdom, words to live by!
Ya'll got some mad Tonka toy skiws there Ereek!
Mrs. O seems like such a caring good woman and I’m beyond happy for you guys love this content!
Lucky you got all those trees cleared away. Now you can turn them into paper for all of the permits you'll need for making that trail.
Brilliant video! Like a surprise gift you not expected! We don´t want exitement or scary unsafe stuff. We just want you 2 O's to do what you do best. Singing, quoting, bad jokes, it's all fine, in the beautiful manner you perform it!
You were talking about not shooting stuff that's boring. Well, as someone who wants to constantly learn there is very little that is boring to me.

I noticed that you are getting a lot better at operating that excavator
Fun video. I like to see the stuff you are doing on your land with the various pisses of equipment you have and use. You know, he fun stuff.
Nice to see you somewhere other than the shop. You'll figure out that lawn dart problem. And you are so correct about somethings on any source. It is just better not to show how you do it.
I vote for more videos of Mrs. O walking up and down the trail. 😁
