Watch the whole process as I hire a bulldozer and make a new clearing in a thick wooded area and dig a new watering hole. All for a very soon-to-be new food plot and wildlife area!
Love that trailer .
Yeah, I can see that the soil is very wet, so I can understand Jim not liking this to work in this, as he can't get the soil to lay out as smoothly as he'd like I'd guess .
Nice job all the same .
That's a nice improvement to the farm. Never wrong to put in a pond. Looks to me that the previous owner didn't manage the farm well and just left it alone. Mother nature takes ground back and your have to start over in that case.
yeah, most don't realize that neglect causes a lot of noxious things to take over land... The 'weeds' and invasives grow much faster than the native and 'better' things that grow wild. :)
And excavator would have been my choice, not much mess and easy clean-up.
Yeah no doubt, but they had the big excavator working on small ponds at the time, and tree clearing elsewhere. I think I hired both machines at the same time.
I need this to clean off my backyard
I would cut the wires on that backup beeper . That's the stupidest thing .
a bad beaver infestation killed off about 8-10 acres on my farm. no bull dozing just a big fire will clean it for me. we have many deer but they move around from our 800 farm to go feed and get hunted in the process. with a decent feeding area hope to keep more of them for ourselves !!!
Just subbed to channel, I too need to have this done to my farm too.
tom noeldnerr thanks. get out there and get er done! you won't regret it!
Thanks> Just subbed back and checked out your channel. Sent you a msg on Google.
Thanks for subbing back,.
I got your message on Google but I can't respond back, because it goes into my junk mail. But I was Army out of Bragg 1975- 79
i would have cut down all the trees first
Just wondering what you do with all the brush. Have you considered using one of those tracked chippers that knocks down and chips up the whole tree? I assume you are going to plow the plots before you seed. I so the chips would be mixed into the soil to rot. We don't do much of this up here in New England.
Oh Gosh, you gotta watch some of the follow up videos. It is an ongoing series, if you will. I would love a chipper, but maybe some time in the future. Yes, I tilled it up, planted it, then re planted it..., then re planted it.. Then saved it with the Video called "Hail Mary food plot" when I planted a fall plot and it turned out great.
Kapper Outdoors Look into getting a 1 row corn chopper at a farm sale if you can. Dad bought one for $1.00 and used it to chip brush and branches. I saw him throw an 8" walnut log on it once. The old Ford 9N just grunted, squatted a bit and ate that log!
How did the pond turn out?? And that’s hilarious he just went and made something huge and you just wanted something small 😂
The new Pond and all of the watering holes are all fantastic thanks
Kapper Outdoors Awesome! Does it hold a lot of water? You should make a video on it
Cedar has small root ball's .
How much was it for the dozer and operator to do all that?
I think it was 100 an hour for dozer and 200 an hour for big excavator. it took 4 dozer hours to clear opening and cut roads and dig one hole. the other holes with big excavator he can dig a big watering pond in about an hour. so for the cost of one scent lok top and bottom I got 2 watering ponds. and for about 400 I got all the dozer work plus a watering hole. those are the absolute best investments you can make on a property; food and water. cover you make with a chainsaw and mother nature!
+Kapper thanks for the info! I'm looking at buying land and been trying to get ideas on what it would take to clear it out. Enjoy your videos keep it up
+g36cking thanks man I appreciate it!
man I hate to those Cedars go to waste! And you need a New Dozer Operator the time he took to take that tree down i could of cut 5 down with a chainsaw.
I don't like to waste trees either (check out some of my videos of my wife's Cedar tree projects), but sometimes you just have to. That operator is very seasoned, the trees need to have the stumps all removed which is much more of a task than simply cutting down with a chainsaw.
I bet it took more than an hour
Not really, those were giant machines that made small work of this. If it were dry ground they could have knocked it out in half the time... Not sure which part I commented on it being an hour, but if I said it, it was pretty accurate. I've got no need to embellish :). Thanks.
Wrong bulldozer brother
the operator should have waited. Way too wet to be dozing. Tearing more shit up that he should be. most operators are paid hourly... when half the time is spent spinning around in the mud you are not getting what you pay for. A dozer shouldn't be bouncing off of 12 inch trees.
