From the sounds that the 302 makes, I get the idea that it needs bushings and pins on most of its bucket parts. More rainy day work.
Chopping down trees has always been to me on a par with watching paint dry but I must admit that your commentary has kept me going to the end. You have a precious skill. Keep it up + I just loved the herky birds
Great pics of the Ohio river and the KY Air National Guard. Good job cutting down the trees.
“Guilty of Treeson” is a good tree felling channel as well.
The shot of those military planes were awesome! You had the 304 closer than I would have when you cut that big tree down by the railing, but all went according to plan!
Lol appreciate ya watching
Thanks for sharing your thoughts, ideas and videos. Nice view of the river, nice shots of the planes ✈️. Wishing you and your family the best.
Loved that you got the planes at the intro, very cool and lucky timing! Funny watching you come trotting out of the woods to grab the camera. Oh and Darrell, if you ain’t got nothing nice to say, well, maybe just move on. Negativity doesn’t look good on you.
Lucky on the timing for sure! And that it was in the frame of the camera!!
C-130’s work horse of MAC!! That’s my babies I worked on at Little Rock AFB back in the 70’s💪🤗 that dock is out there to challenge your cutting ability 😂 great video Captain!!👍🇺🇸
Very cool!
Great job cutting trees down Mike
Thanks Kevin
Cap, i love to have that type of office or home view any day of the week
Pretty cool seeing the 130s, barges and a helicopter. Gotta say though.. that was a nifty leaf rake you had lol. Awesome video Capt! All that action, and nobody got hurt, and nothing gotten broken or damaged I'd say that was a pretty great day! 👍
Thanks Phillip!
Back in the day, I was a deckhand on the Ohio River working for ACBL. Later I worked for the Corps of Engineers at some of the Locks and Dams. I retired from Newburgh Locks/Dam in 2015. I remember coming up/down the river by Derby. I remember Flint Island on the KY side. I was also in the Air National Guard in Pittsburgh, PA then Terre Haute, IN. Later in the AF Reserve.
That is awesome! I see American commercial go by all the time. Very cool sir
Nice work! Good call on those rotten learners too, I think the power company should help out with a bucket truck, you are doing the neighborhood a favor by getting them down before a storm puts them on the power lines.
They are either helping now or when they are on the lines lol
The 'office' gave it all today - felling trees is not for the faint hearted - good decision on the the two 'ifs'.
Thanks Heather
Nice catch with the plane. At first I thought he gonna do a 'Sully' and put it in the drink.
That would have been something
Great Sunday Morning Video! For a second, I thought someone yelled Fire the way you ran out of the trees.
Ahh that was nice Mike letting that 🐢 be on it's way ☺️👍 very cool buddy 🇺🇲
Thanks mike
Awesome video … those planes were pretty cool … got some saw logs and nice burn piles … I there would be enough lumber out of those logs to completely finish the goat barn and then some!
The old saying here in New Hampshire is. If it's 3 let it be. That ivy is 5 leaf it's not poison ivy. poison ivy has 3 leaves. keep up the great work. love you guys from Derby
Great job captain looks good a great view for shore 👍👌😎✌️🇺🇲
Thanks Ken!
Great job Captain 👍 I live pretty much next to Joint Base Maguire AFB, FortDix Army and Lakehurst Naval Air Station and I see planes, helicopter's on the daily !!! Pretty cool
Good job Mike, thanks for the view and aircraft.
Thanks for watching Tony
Nice cuttin' Capn'!!!
Great idea to skin off that ivy using the mini.
Thanks!
Those C-130 come out of Dobbins Air Base in Atlanta almost everyday. They fly so low you can almost see the pilots and you can feel the power of them as they fly over
It's an awesome sight!
It showed up, and it was cool. Taking those trees down really improved the view of the river. I'm glad you're thinking about using some of that wood.
Nice job Derby land air and water tree clearing!!!! After 911 a fighter jet flew over me, I could count his teeth. So cool!!! Nice job thanks for sharing.
Appreciate ya watching Kyle
When you push that tree along like that ,
It acts like a big leaf rake.😛😛😛✌
💪
Your tree-felling skills are certainly coming along Mike. Now you just have to work on the shouting and maniacal laughter and you'll be a pro in no time! 😂😂 Great video!
😂😂😂
thanks for a great entertaining video, your a great host 👍👍👌
Appreciate ya watching
Hope you some good plans for those logs. The takeoffs were amazing. Your felling skills are getting better.
Great work and decisions, know your limits!!
Very nice job Mike, your becoming a real good logger😎😎🤗🤗👍👍👍🍮🍮🍮☀️☀️☀️
Nicely done Cap…thanks for sharing!
Appreciate ya watching
Awesome intro Mike
Water maples. Also known as silver maple or soft maple. Lousy trees for yards but make great fence boards. I have a pile of them at my homeboy Larry’s place and I plan on sawing them into fence boards as soon as I get my old sawmill to operate properly. You can check out my sawmill struggle on my channel if you’re interested.
It’s nice having some equipment around. Sure helps when you pinch your saw (as will happen).
I'll check it out! Very cool
Job well done Mike. 🇺🇸
Mike nice job! I'm glade u didn't drop that one cause it well split in 3 parts ! Andd called out here a widow maker
Hey bud Gr8 job tree cutting looks gr8 plane shots where alsum keep up gr8 work and content God bless 🙌
Awesome video Mike, great catch of the C-130’s flying along the river. The tow boats were a great catch as well. You might not consider yourself a logger but you do a fine job. I wouldn’t have tackled any of those trees myself. 👍🏻👍🏻, because one is never enough.
Thanks Ken!
Hi from England, Thanks for showing us the Kentucky aeroplane’s, you don’t get that on Dirt Perfect’s, 🤣🤣🤣
Hello Captain. Beautiful Sunday, Spitz Video from Trees Cutting. This Trees old and rotten. But who must all the cut Trees to lead away??? You? This is a great Work! Greeting 🇦🇹
Watch out for the turtle crossing haha. great shots of the plane and the barges i enjoy that type of stuff.You are becoming a professional logger ,Wade 's going to be trying to hire you . Asyou say it is all entertainment and that is great, Stay safe my friend.
Thanks for watching Darryl
SALUDOS KLEEMAN FROM CLIFTON N.J ANOTHER GREAT VIDEO AS ALWAYS G.B.Y 👌 👍 👏 😀 🙌 ❤
You know I have a mini-excavtor and the tricks I've learned watching you and DP have really helped hone my skills. Thanks as always. Great video!
💪
You know cottonwood makes bad firewood 🪵 but there maybe a good fix you may like to try but it’s up to the owner you can dig a deep ditch by the river could maybe a help on erosion of land you put the trees 🌳 standing on end in the ditch kind of like a fence it deep in the ground this would help hold the dirt in place. But up to you. Have a great week
HELLO MIKE ITS IS RANDY AND I LIKE U VIDEO IS COOL MIKE THANKS FRIENDS RANDY
I really like the little Gem's you put in your videos.... like the turtle to see if people are paying attention.
Appreciate the feedback!
Good cuttin cap! Thanks for the shout buddy wish I was there that’d been a fun one to do!!
Hey thanks Pete! This would have been a fun one to learn from you on for sure.
Good job, showing some common sense and logic
That's all it takes! Appreciate ya watching
Great entrance to the video !
Thanks!
Great video Mike
I drove by last night the see what was new and it's looking good Mike. I really enjoy this series due to the personal history with the property. When we first bought it, from the river to the riprap hadn't been touched in years and the brush was 8 to 10 feet tall. Spent dozens of hours with a chainsaw and brushcutter to get it where it was when you started and it's nice to see the current owner continuing on with the dream. I'll give you one guess as to who carved the heart in that maple. :) And be glad the big hollow space in that tree is empty. 3 years ago it was filled with the biggest hornet nest I've seen in my life.
Another excellent video, your just a joy to watch. Not in a weird way or anything.. .... 😏
😂😂
For Me in Wisconsin, There's enough BTU's in that pile to heat My House half the winter or more.
Mike M.
Hey Bud you might not be a logger FINE but you can read the trees and if you need him I'm guessing logger Wade would be happy to come pick on you while he's cutting. Seriously though great job Bud way to keep up with that soft one. I've seen guys panic and you were calm smooth and didn't stop just did exactly what you should have and give it the gas be ready to run. The tree itself doesn't look like it was real bad until the plunge that's when the pucker factor rises quick. As always good luck and God Bless
Hey I appreciate that man. Thanks for watching
Yep, all 3 did. We have a national guard here also. Always fly in 3 ‘s
Very cool!
Logger Wade....👍👍👍
💪
Thanks for the content Mike!
Thanks Ben
That's the first Backwoods four-wheelers Trail that I've ever seen with a double yellow line down the middle🤣🤣🤣
We are pretty fancy here
Nice to see the safety gear. Red Poppy Ranch put a chainsaw into his foot recently. Can’t be too careful.
Oh I didn't know,. Hope he heals up okay!
GREAT JOB BUD!!!!
Thank you
Those C-130's were awesome to see flying the river. Great catch of the Helicopter also, looks like a training weekend.
Good job, thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching
Great video! Mike! Keep up the good work!!👍
Thanks Rudy
When cutting a trunk or limb that's supported like a bridge, make your top cut halfway through first and then when making the bottom cut offset the cut one blade width from the top cut, so that when the cuts meet the now free portion can fall beside your bar instead of pushing it downwards. Safer that way because you stay in control of the blade throughout the cut.
Yup, just depends the mood I'm in 😂
That's a tip I learned from a PNW Wildfire Fighter and I assume he knows more about it than me.
Clean up goes so much faster when you’ve got an excavator. It takes me forever to clean up after a tree removal. Equipment envy 😜
It definitely helps!
A good man knows when he needs to bring in some extra help
It is a perfect "office"... always great watching someone enjoy their work day! Keep it up.
wow ... really low I think .... verry cool
Captain Mike Bunyan! 👌😁
Lol
great video, you must have some pull to have them fly over for the great shot. LOL thank you
Lol wish I did!
As you can tell I comment as I watch
Hey Mike those are loose rocks there brother, don't fall and hurt yourself! 😂
Lol
Definitely appreciate the respect you give to planes, boats and the occasional lonely helicopter!
💪
Totally agree with your comment about "the view from your office", in fact the views from your home are pretty stunning too! I don't think I would be much help, as I would end up gazing at all those Tugs and Barges all day. The amount they push and size of those barges are amazing!
I was kinda worried after watching the intro, I thought things had gone bad and you had called in an air strike. Lol. Good video brother, stay safe.
For my next trick...😂😂
Good job. Thanks for the sprint to catch the planes. Not everybody would do that, just for us. Looking better all the time. More water visibility.
💪
Cap’n I hope those logs don’t have too many nails and other hardware in them… I always get nervous when milling wood from trees grown in the open.
I need to get one of those yellow brush stackers. It sure sped up the cleanups.
And Cap’n, with all the supply issues we are having… please leave that cookie factory tree alone for as long as possible. Walmart has been out of Pecan Sandies for two weeks!
Hard telling how many bird feeders and no trespassing signs have been there.
A BIG airplane and a cute box turtle. Two of my favorite things in the first minute or so! This is gonna be a good ride. Thanks Captain!
I try to avoid cutting down trees, I have several friends who are professionals and they are great about helping me take care of the Wildlife Center and its grounds. That said, I do like watching "Cottontop3" and "August Hunicke". I highly recommend both as serious professionals and skilled cutters. August has a side company called "Monkey Beaver" and he and his team create and sell specialty logging gear. And you just HAVE to see the giant trees they have out west!
💪
Cut timber for years, looks like your doing just fine Mike! Main thing is don’t get hurt!
Thanks!
A wonderful office place at this time of year - not sure you would say that in a few months time though :D
Ild still take it over a cubicle though 💪
Congrats Mike on getting those trees down without getting hurt. lv the views.
Thanks billy
Nice job.
Thanks mike!
Mike, always like your videos but really appreciated you taking the time to talk about the river dynamics and the "sandy wood" trees. Very informative and interesting.
Appreciate the feedback Ron
Looks good
Thanks Tom!
So so good ... good vid as always.... defo a good idea to not take the 2 trees ya left they look like trouble 😜
Hey appreciate ya watching
Some of those logs looked like they would give many boards for your goat barn.
Nice job putting the tree where you want it to go.
C130 Hercules amazing aircraft. Just don't fly on one if it isn't leaking hydraulic fluid. God bless
Good job 👍
Hey thanks 💪
good job 👍
Ohhh, mind the turtle..... yep, safe :)
Nice capture of the C130s doing training exercises. The barge traffic was much higher not all that long ago, but infrastructure decay has made rivers almost a non existent method of moving bulk goods. Coal still moves on the river as it tend to be needed at plants located on the river, but most is moved by rail only now. It's a shame that the lock and damn system in the US is in such a sorry state.
I would like to see the statistics on that. As someone who lives on the river and studies the industry, you seem pretty far off base there
@@CaptainKleeman I too have grown up on the Ohio, living nearby and boating on it extensively. I'm just up river in Louisville. I am well aware of the condition of the river infrastructure, as well as the effect of it on the barge industry. JeffBoat, a large scale barge manufacturer, was affected to the point of full closure. Hopefully the infrastructure money will actually fulfill the abundant upgrade needs of the locks on the Ohio. Most locks require breaking shipments in two to pass through, and rejoining them once locked through. The pace is slow even if every lock on the river is working at 100%. Unfortunately, most of the locks don't work that well.
The industry diminished about 5-6 yrs ago. Hopefully it will make a come back when more locks are upgraded to the Federal standard, like McAlpine lock. I am surprised that all of this isn't old news to you sir.
Used to fly 130's while I was in USAF (TAC at that time) based in Forbes AFB, Topeka, KS. We didn't have that kind of scenery to fly over! Mostly cows and the rare tree! 😳 Great asset, fun to fly! 👍
That is AWESOME! very cool
Sand in a tree is a killer on the chain. I cut down a 150 year old shag bark Hickory snag once, that had been broken off by a storm. It sat about 200 yards East of a real sandy field, and caught a lot of sand blowing off that field over the years.
Several times, I actually saw sparks as I was cutting and you didn't make but 2 or 3 cuts and had to touch up the chain.
It just destroys the chains. Pretty wild
Like trying to cut glass
Morning Capt, awesome job on the trees. Thanks for sharing👍👍👍👍👍😺🤗🐺
Appreciate ya watching
Good job, Mike! Glad you’re staying safe and waiting for the proper equipment for those last trees.
The drones were great 👍🏻…. I see RUclips has been good to you…. I’m thinking wherever you got them they were running a special, buy 2 get the 3rd free…😂😂
😂😂😂. The fuel is going to be the killer here
Nice job on those trees. Gotta love the (K??)C-130's flying over. We have that every spring here. They fly just over the trees right over the house and right over work. 5-10 at a time.
That would be awesome to see!
Great video!! 😃👍
Thanks!
Now, If you had a Bandsaw Mill, you could have processed some of those logs. not all as there is rot in some, into useable lumber for homestead projects and the Yacht decks...
Seeing the impromptu air show was nice!
The 304C is working like the Floppy Bucket Boss that it is, Getting Things Done! Even works as a broom and Rake! LOL
I can buy the lumber for the same cost of milling my own where we live. Appreciate ya watching
@@CaptainKleeman I know, but was just trying to validate the purchase of the bandsaw mill for you... lol
