Busting a Beaver Dam with Kubota L4060
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 17 июл 2019
- Our Beaver Dam busting duties is ongoing. If you have a better solution please tell us in the comments below.
Water comes from the Interstate and Beavers work hard to stop the draining to the lakes. It never ends. I swear they have a network and cell phones.
Kubota L4060 and WR Long Grapple

We were hit by Hurricane Michael (Cat 5) Oct 10, 2018 in the center of the eyewall. It leveled our trees in a swath from Panama City FL clean into Georgia! We are cleaning 200 acres of forest with no help to speak of. FEMA took what was in our yards but does not address forest issues. The media doesn't say squat about us but believe me, the devastation is INSANE! When they do mention Michael they only talk about the touristy parts. I detest the media!
I agree Sandra. The media is as bad as the politicians. It's amazing how inaccurate they are. They lie deny and then if that doesn't work they get highly offended and accuse you of being a racist or Nazi. The guy operating the tractor is much better than I am👍
I totally 100% agree on Media!!! Thank you for the kind words about hubby. He has been doing this for 13 years every day so I am honored that he is teaching me all his tricks. He has taught me on 2 tractors so far and I am working on learning the 3rd now. Such a patient teacher, but I sure have big shoes to fill. Thank you again!
The media only wants you to suffer more so there is more suffering in your story when they talk about it.
They have a fetish when it comes to people suffering.
I agree wholeheartedly. We were hit with two hurricanes after Katrina hit New Orleans. Several tropical storms since then including one that dumped 70+ inches on us. FEMA should be dragged out and flogged.
Who owns that 200 acres? If you own it why would anyone else have to pay to clean it up? I will come and clear it for you if i can own part interest in it.. Did you get the beavers out of that area? If not they will rebuild that damn.
Very smart to use the gate as a substructure that sucker's the Beaver into building on it
That's what I was thinking. Give em a sturdy metal foundation to start building on... uhhh ok 🤦🏼♀️🌞
metal gate! thats some hardcore beavers you have around them parts
Not beavers
Putting the metal gate in allowed him to pull it out keeping the beavers from plugging up under the tractor.
He got it flowing reeeal good! And I must say, he got some good tractor operating skills to have been leaning that far off the bank!
I was waiting for the tractor to fall in not gonna lie
Really how did it NOT? That is some narrow margin for error.
Me to!
I've got a grand L with a loader and grapple and it scared the snot out of me watching this. No way I would operate that close on that berm.
Post 10 wouldn’t have let this happen
Post 10 could have done it with his bare hands

GEE WHIZ !!!! Beavers now build dams with aluminium

@Anonymous read it again, you might see the humour, but I doubt it with your i.q . Not surprised you identify yourself as anonymous
Four wheel drive or not, this guy has some stones putting the front wheels so far down into the ponds' edge. He does a nice job blindly digging/clearing the dam. Your hired!!!
I'm not convinced you have beavers. I would install overflow pipes and syphons for after storms. What you have is torrential flow backing up in debris.
Not beavers
Horsepower and hydraulics! Finally, after thousands of years, we are able to stand against the invasion!
Never saw the beaver dam.....cool tractor skills though.
*THANK YOU!!! Finally a new beaver dam video!!! I literally have watched every single one on RUclips!!! Awesome!!!!!*
Boy that drained fast.
Nice job!
Things like this are why tractors have very good brakes.
The gate type grate is a good idea but I think that putting some cables on every joint and tying them together on a heavy ring that you can hook to the grappler would make it easier to lift and lessen the risk of pulling it apart.
Add some chain to your gate, hook them to the loader, lift.
Tugging on that mud and sticks leaned over the water that far I was afraid he might slip in. Damned beavers. Lol
I have ongoing Beaver Intruders too, your best solution kind of depends on the equipment you have available. You may want to consider Beaver for Thanksgiving dinner, that should keep them out for a year or three. And the beaver hats make great Christmas gifts -) I haven't seen anyone take a dam with a grapple before I don't know how he kept that tractor out of the drink...that looked a little hairy for a minute but worked fine. Most of my dams are in places I couldn't get a tractor close enough to without sinking in the mud.
One idea if you're not going to trap them. I'd weld a frame with a bottom scoop on it for the gate, and put a big chain on it so you don't have to get all down in there with a heavy Grapple on the front. That way one tug on the chain would pick up everything in one pull. Maybe weld the whole thing out of rebar to make it stronger, and put a LOT more weight on the back of that tractor
You need to add some plastic pipe that is under water and sticks out beyond the gate you installed by 10 to 25 feet. The beavers will still block the gate but with the underwater pipe it will still drain. You could install a couple levels to be more effective.
Excellent idea, we will have to try that! Thank you!
Make the pipes long and various lengths.
Excellent
that was never a beaver dam , just a farm gate put across a culvert and it had choked up with debris
Let it, it's a problem in northern America we have a limited amount of lakes compared to pre government, when the land was prosperous.
That’s one heck of an eviction notice!!!😂😂😂
They will rebuild'God dame beavers
Never seen a beaver problem a .22 could not solve.
Good job guys!
That gate was a great idea
Will the Kubota floata?
A buddy of mine who makes beaver blocking devices says that the noise of the running water is what tells them where to build a dam....or something like that....he said it can be as simple as having a chain hanging down for even a dribble of water to follow to reduce the splash noise can be all it takes...
I thought you were going to fall overboard several times!
Cool video 👍
Next on beaver tube how to rebuild a failed dam

Nice video but zooming in would of been awesome.
Hey Beaver...
Yea Wally?
They're taking your dam apart again!
WTF!
1:53 looks like you could use the backhoe attachment 👍🏻👍🏻🤠🇺🇸
He’s got guts
Did not see any fresh cut sticks ,which says the beaver moved on months ago. The trash on the gate looks like it floated down stream and got stuck . Without gate would go right through.
Because we clean the area all the time! If we ignored it for a while you would DEFINITELY see it grow tall. We know the difference between floating debris and Beavers...………
There's a lot of power with water
If you don't get rid of the beaver's the problem will not go away. Just sayin. Good luck with them little critter's. God bless you from Trenton, Georgia.
Kubota 1 ; Beavers 0
Organize a beaver hunt!
More like a clogged drain.
Yes you all got kicked bad with that Hurricane .i live in pecola Ivan done us a job .that's Fl tho .good luck with working little animals .
I've never understood why after removing so much wood and brush that nobody burns the refuse. By leaving it so close to the site, the beavers don't have any difficulty in reusing it. Also, due diligence of removing what they do daily surely would discourage them.
We have been moving wood for 10 months. 200 acres doesn't get cleared in an instant. The loggers stopped a couple of months in so it is just me and hubby doing this. No one to hire. Cat 5 Hurricane recovery is a decade project... not a rake the yard project. Please review the rest of my videos which is just a small snippet of our lives. We have 4 tractors that run 7 days a week. We also dug out 16 homes after the hurricane. The media doesn't tell you about our devastation because we are a bunch of Trump supporters but believe me it is INSANE here.
Here is a video we did of the first pile burn (it is unlisted on my channel). There are about 20 piles which we have now burned 9 of. We are so close to the interstate that we have to get a burn permit every day IF the wind is from the right direction and other conditions are perfect. We also had to wait MONTHS for the debris to dry enough to burn. ruclips.net/video/jCA_jKALAE8/видео.html
@John C I didn't know that. Thank you.
PatrolOfficer161 beavers are picky they only use new materials
*When someone comments and you KNOW they have zero clue as to what they are talking about.*
Where’s the Beaver Dam?
doesn't look like a beaver dam.. it looks more it was caused by junk built up from hanging up on that gate someone placed in front of that colvert
Yes it is a beaver dam in front of the gate, we have beavers EVERYWHERE. We have a 10 acre pond and a 5 acre pond, both have beaver dams everywhere. They have one that they live in which we do not mess with. The others are them trying to stop water movement which drives them crazy. They must stop water moving noise. You can believe it or not, I am just stating the facts about OUR beaver over population.
@@SandraOpines they must stop water moving noise??? , are you kidding me . since when did the sound of running water bother beavers??
@@MrTarmonbarry it dose look into it
Related on this footage i doubt you ever had a beaver. Its been simply cloged or since when do build beavers solid metal constructions.
It's very hard 2 get rid of beavers I have had Beaver trouble for a few years I live in Maine I contacted the game ones on which was absolutely useless they won't hurt him they won't help you trap him unless it's causing a lot of damage which state are you in you have to check with ur State game wardens I'm sure you probably have done something I don't know how you feel about euthanizing or trapping it is a lot of work but in the end it's worth it looks like Tenchi could wash out your road again what state are you in
I just divorced my beaver. I'm free and she's remarried.

Put Irish spring soap in burlap bag place floating in water. Beavers will leave. I had do on my property
Ok I can try that one next. I tried wind chimes in the water a few weeks ago...…. the little pests buried the chimes and ate the clanker. Thank you for your idea!
Cool trick ! No wonder I had tough times meeting girls in my youth ! (early 70s) I and friends all used that damn soap thinking the fragrance was a chick magnet !! How wrong we were !! 😂
@@marcryvon
At first I thought you meant you had your man chimes in the water and something ate your clanker.......
Not beaver. Just gunk. Beavers weave sticks with mud.
What camera are you using ? May i know details about it ?
GoPro 7 Black. It rocks! Thank you for watching
How's the hog hunting on your 200 acres? It's a long drive from Baytown, TX but bet I could get 1 or 2 friends that would be willing to trade a few days labor for hunting/camping when the weather cools down. Labor would come first of course. Our house flooded during Harvey and couldn't have made it without the help of others.
I have never seen a wild hog here but we did have herds of deer everywhere. They lost their habitat so we see them hit on the roads but only occasionally see hoof prints these days. I honestly don't know what the hunters will do around here.
Here is a short documentary that shows a lot of great footage of how our "woods" look. AND all of our pines as well as many others have Pine Bark Beetle so have to be clear cut.

Who else was waiting for him to go in the water ??? Time to kill the beavers and end the problem !!!!!
Kerry Ward yup any second I was waiting for a splash I’d build up the bank with what looks like plenty of material around first that way I could get closer and not at such an extreme angle plus add more ballast to the tractor looks sketch . Hate to be a keyboard critic but I am a full time tractor operator and looked sketchy but with out being there who knows I’d definitely put a ton of large rock in front of that culvert also to keep the beaver away, close enough to act as a filter I’ve had to do that for a customer we added a half moon shape rock dam with 12” rock or larger about 3 ‘ encircling it if ya will higher than the water line when flooded works great ! Do the same thing by fast moving drainage to prevent ditches from fast erosion can fill up with silt depending on area but that’s why we use large rocks no call backs yet ! Good work though sir
He needed to clean out some more from each side of the pipe so he could get the gate down a little bit more. But it definitely dropped the water and having the gate will do as you said and keep them out of the pipe. That would be a hell of a mess if they got in the pipe. You'd have to dig the pipe up out of the ground then so you would be able to get inside of it and clean it out. Beavers can be a big nuisance. 👍
William Bryant ya, and if going that in-depth I’d replace the steel pipe with a concrete reinforced one as well. They last a lot longer.
I'm gonna laugh my ass off when he drives that Kubota over the edge!!!😂😂😂😂
That's because you never driven a front end loader. The grappler in the front would bottom out before the tractor went down the hill. Brain cells, brain cells.
That is a lot of water ! Did y'all catch the beaver ?
We found several Beaver Lodges and will address soon. We had an excavator clear out the area to reduce any chance of "Debris" being the culprit....... the Beavers found their way around the side and today the dam was in the middle of the culvert. So we spent the morning digging out the culvert. That is pretty much where we are at. There is a LOT o fBeavers...... not just one.
Beavers, "Um.....I need ya to bring in the gate removal crew....the asshole put a gate in front of the culvert. ..... Yea, no problem.... will do. Bring in the big dam crew and let's get this thing up and going overnight. ....Yep....no problem"
Very scary spot to maneuver in! The devastation to your forestry area is horrendous and shocking, And that just from the little bit I could see from your video. I feel bad for you.
I bet that hurricane is something you would rather forget!
It was VERY scary and cleanup has been extremely dangerous. I have quite a few videos of the cleanup on this channel that show how we went from forest to field in just one Cat 5 storm. It was insane. Here is a video of us clearing the path to the beaver dam early on. ruclips.net/video/r--f_WZoUWQ/видео.html
It’s not the tax payers responsibility to clean your property .. I will come and clean entire property for part interest in said property
This woman is hard on her beaver!
DAM
What happens to the beavers? How do you know if there were baby beavers in the dam?
The dams are what they do to stop the sound of water running. The beavers live in Beaver Dens. The beavers are just fine in their dens..........
WHY NOT USE A 22 AND PERMANENTLY SOLVE BEAVER PROBLEM
As mentioned many times before, Hurricane Michael downed 90% of our trees and the beaver dams are all very close (couple hundred feet) from an Interstate so not much to slow a bullet down. We can't really shoot anymore around here :( We also don't have time to stake out Beavers with a gun...... we are still working 7 days a week clearing Hurricane debris. Life as we know it is VERY different now.
It's a moving now
This seems atypical of beaver construction, this seems like it’s just debris buildup from the hurricane that struck you. Beavers don’t use fences in their construction.
You people STILL don't read do you? We know it is beavers, we know the difference between Dams and Dens. They use what is available. The fence keeps them from building in the middle of the culvert. It costs thousands of dollars when they build in the middle of a culvert and you have to bring in an excavator to clean it.
I am just shocked at the ignorance in the comments Just insane.
@@SandraOpines What do you mean “You people”? I came to my own conclusion free from external influence. I simply offered my discernment and moved on. Sad that you take someone freely commenting on your video as an insult.
Anyways, what you pulled out of the entrance to the culvert is debris, NOT beaver construction. It is neither a beaver dam, nor a beaver lodge. Beavers build dams using organic materials including tree trunks, branches, vegetation, and mud. They do not use metal fences.
Why do you think in this video the water turbidity is so high? Why do you think the ground is so damp everywhere? Why do you think there are felled trees everywhere, laying down in the ground? It is because of the hurricane, not beavers. Beavers don’t build inside of culverts that small, the diameter of the pipe is too small to build and maintain structure.
Let us consider the occluded pipe for a moment. You mentioned in the video that the beavers must have buried it there to stop the water from running. Now consider that an extremely powerful hurricane with maximum sustained winds of 160 mph has just swept over your property. Which is more likely to cause widespread damage? Which is going to spread debris over a large area? Not beavers certainly.
This particular incident wasn’t beavers. It wasn’t their construction. This happened because a hurricane knocked over a fence, and because of high waters, it rushed down stream. As the water got closer to the culvert, it sped up in accordance with Bernoulli’s principle. This drew the fence closer, faster, along with other debris that happened to be flowing. The fence, obviously too large to fit into the culvert became occluded at its entrance. The high water turbidity meant that there was a great amount of suspended solids in the water, explaining why it seems buried when it was pulled out. The suspended solids dropped out when the water stagnated, sinking to the bottom. Because the fence was not initially completely blocking the culvert, it allowed water to keep flowing. This drew even more debris to the culvert, which was snagged on the fence, eventually completely occluding the culvert.
It is also untrue that they use whatever available. If the supply of trees is depleted, they invariably abandon their site. They don’t go looking for more or different materials, or whatever’s available, they leave.
Not Beavers.
Float something through that culvert with a stout line tied to it and then tie it off at both ends. If it does get full of stuff at least you could tie a 55 gallon drum or something to the line and pull it through with a winch or a tractor. If you can’t really get down in there with anything, I have seen cases where they had to drive a big post pretty deep into the ground downstream a few yards during a period where it was dry, and attach a snatch block to the post, and then run the line through the snatch block, turn 90 degrees, and tie it off somewhere up on the bank where they could get to it. In one case I saw, the winch just pulled the ATV it was attached to towards the water, and they had to tie the ATV to a tree!
If he falls in there with the tractor he will wish not for that.
Beavers can cause billions of dollars in damage
So can humans
why put the gate back they will just rebuild it.?.
The Beavers will rebuild, but without the gate they would rebuild in the middle of the culvert which is impossible to clear. At least with the gate the dam is built outside of the culvert where we can easily get access to it.
@@SandraOpines why reply to idiots?
@@Al_Dente-d1p I guess hoping that some common sense will filter into their brains. :D
@@SandraOpines build in the middle of the culvert ? , you are joking i hope . they are smart and would always put branches across the entrance , not the middle . Just a video to show off your new toy , sad

May I suggest you allow some trappers to get in there & thin them out

Cool machine, check out my mechanical music machines
I see a orange tractor in your pond someday
That was painful.
What beaver dam?
You just unclogged a drainpipe.
why are you draining, looked natural to me???
A couple of reasons. 1. Standing water causes horrific mosquito issues which carry disease. 2. It is the logging road that is being used to drag out all of the wood that Hurricane knocked down.
Oh yeah, looks so good and "natural" and hearth warming when IT'S NOT on YOUR property !! I had major damages on my hillside fishing/vacation cabine some years ago from flooding in spring due to a bloody beaver damn. Not fun. Insurance not paying for due "negligence" from my part during winter months when we cannot go access my property !
Local authorities woud'nt allow trapping or other means of getting rid of those pests. "You are invading THEIR territoty. Live with it !" they said.
Well, nothing that a borrowed .22 rifle cannot solve, right ? End of history.
PS Beavers are NOT an endangered species. Oh so far from it !! Pests.
@@marcryvon I am sorry Marc, I understand your frustration.
@@davidarnold963 Sorry if I sounded harsh. Nothing personnal against you. Honest. But around here, Montreal Qc area, we connot move without our EPA approvals on our own properties. I fully approve them on many scandalous actions - like right now, a case of industrial soils being disposed of by subs controled by the local mafia. As a longtime fisherman, I used to go on trips way up north, in semi virgin areas and thousands of lakes, many of them from beavers work. Awesome and yes, beautiful. But in the wild, their territories. But not in semi-urban areas.
