Hello 👋 Bandit

[@taylor11089]

I would buy a Tandem, Tri, or Quad Axle (all 3 Axle Configurations will meet Iowa/Missouri & Federal Bridge Laws) Dump Truck & a 25 Ton Tri-Axle Tag Trailer. You don’t have the need (not a large enough Dozer or Excavator yet) for a Large 35-55 Ton Lowboy Trailer and have a Better need for a Dump Truck to haul Dirt, Rock, Rip Rap, (for land improvement projects) Lime, and Grain out of small fields.
Edit…I would also look at having the Pins in you excavator redone…there is a lot of slop in the Main Boom pin that attaches to the Excavator Carbody.
Sounds like the Kubota Skid Steer has a Head Gasket Leak.

[@sleepythinker5674]

Looks like that will keep you busy for a bit. That 6 foot deep ravine, you can just drop the tile right in and cover it up……that should work, not sketchy at all……lol😂. Merry Christmas to all!

[@adamv5047]

Need to borrow Cole from Sonne Farms flame thrower 🔥😁

[@bryanhasui8255]

Hope you all have a merry Christmas. Thought you would burn them trees

[@jamesmoreira3333]

[@randycharest4507]

I TOTALLY ENJOYED WATCHING THE VIDEO BEN 😊

[@billwhitman1529]

Ben, How long until you put a hydraulic thumb on the mini excavator? Soon I bet!

[@wallyhuppert9077]

Merry Christmas where's Molly

[@kevinkevlar8050]

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year to the family and the Boys & Cowboy he’s a funny guy

[@Ed_in_Md]

You could really use the hydraulic thumb.

[@burtzorn4059]

That farm definitely needs some help and tile. You got some work ahead of you.

[@KevinChristiansen-i2q]

Merry Christmas 🎄 Ben Molly and dogs and Happy New Year 🥳

[@spankyjohnsonspeedshop8840]

Hey can i ask a question why don't farmers burn all of their trees and brush in the fields? that is alot of free nutrients i see this al the time on youtube it seems strange to me why they don't

[@Ed_in_Md]

RTS is reduced tail swing

[@stevebiddle8912]

Wishing you all a blessed and Merry Christmas from Oklahoma

[@billykimball1614]

Merry Christmas to all of your family and crew members that you have surrounding you Ben and Mrs Southern IA Molly. Then I have one question to ask. Is your big white service truck and trailer that's behind it capable of hauling your new excavator?? Have a safe and wonderful New Year's in 2024💪🇺🇸👍

[@sixtoes2313]

Merry Christmas Van Roekel Family 🎄

[@oldad6207]

I see an articulated thumb in your near future!

[@Muhammadkaxim]

🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤

[@johnpierce1251]

Merry Christmas and happy new year to you and your family and friends stay safe my friends

[@KevinChristiansen-i2q]

Great video Ben

[@KevinChristiansen-i2q]

Awesome drone footage Ben

[@marksmith9142]

Is it a hackberry?

[@FuelMan]

You definitely need your dozer to push up all the brush. As well the dirt work.

[@memyselfandifarmer]

Happy Festivus.
dog's are the best.

[@ronaldjennings8057]

Merry Christmas, my friend.🎄🙏

[@blainemartin4550]

[@sixtoes2313]

[@randybedker1584]

Merry Christmas to all at the farm . Stay safe while traveling.

[@gregcatlett1458]

[@paulwelsh2179]

Merry Christmas to you all

[@jamieshields9521]

Merry Christmas to you Ben, Molly, dogs,Andrew, Colt n rest of the family. Just letting you know we got another family member Willow female Kelpie X only 7 weeks old.

[@kevinjones7062]

Merry Christmas

[@herbhouston5378]

Man, I sure don't need that background noise!! Too much for these old ears!!

[@Dick_Shinn]

Agree with your observation that converting the “thumb” to hydraulically controlled would significantly enhance the effectiveness of the bucket/boom combination!

[@billbates9098]

Andrew is a lot better help than the goat roper!! And he doesn't act like he knows it all!!

[@garrytitford2595]

Colt has a great sense of humor, I gather you don't understand. Good positive comment though.
