  • In this video, we show you the easiest way to pull stumps with a compact tractor. There are many different tree removal techniques and I think we have found a great one. We have a 35hp tractor and found an easy way to remove stumps with it. If you remove the stump with the tree still attached to it it is much easier to get the stump pulled.
    We have been building our off grid home in the mountains for about a year and a half now. It is part of a larger plan to build an entire off grid homestead from scratch. We make new videos documenting the entire process for you twice a week so consider subscribing bit.ly/SubToMar...

    I've been watching farmers clear land. There is a way to have controlled burn without flames. I've found it quite interesting. Piles way higher then what you have here; that burned-out weeks later. Days of rains piles still burned with no flames. There is is no sign of there ever being a burn pile. Just cleared land . It was very cool to watch an learn. These techniques were taught to folks as far back as the 1900s

    The part you found is from a dozer or tracked type tractor, it is part of the under carriage / front idler tensioner. the front idler is mounted in a yoke that fits into that part with the hole in it and the springs keep the tracks tight. the rollers on the bottom roll on the inside links of the track. You might find the rest of the machine! Scrap value for what its worth.

    every one of your videos makes me want to move to Idaho! I love your forest! When we bought our place down in South Texas early 2021, I submitted a contract immediately upon the first viewing. It was the large number of oak trees covering the property. Unfortunately, nature is doing its own thinning by taking a large number of our trees with "Oak Wilt". I'm unable to find any cure for it, so i'm going to just have to backfill with other types of trees, mostly i'll go with a wide range of cold hardy, drought resistant fruit trees. But, I sure would love to have a few acres of pine trees! Great job and great family team! God Bless and keep you safe!!

  • @Lakoda26
    @Lakoda26 3 года назад

    Thank you for talking about this stuff. The city I grew up in (years ago) had a beautiful forested 5 acre park downtown and the state came in to thin it. Well, a bunch of eco people threw a fit so the state backed off. A few years later 2/3rds of the forest got sick and died. WIthin 5 years about 25% of the trees remain. The dead trees started falling down and taking out healthy ones, buildings next to the area, and in one case a car where it fell into the road. It can be counter intuitive for forestry management is so important, especially when you live out there by yourselves without a fire department around the corner.

Check out the RUclips channel of Squatch253 who is at this time is restoring a D2 Caterpillar bulldozer with track adjusters just like what you found.

    Having worked with the American Red Cross on wildfires, I know most states offer a wildfire assessment of your property and will help you develop a wildfire plan(including escape routes). Also wondering if you called the local wildfire to let them know you were doing a controlled burn(Don't want someone reporting smoke and a alarm goes out) this early in the year they might offer to help you so they can train up their teams?

    My dad told us about how they used to burn the underbrush where he grew up in Kentucky. They also ran hogs and cattle which also helped keep the yearly growth down. He said many parts of the woods were almost like a park, open with the lower limbs all cut and green grass growing between the trees which helped with the cattle and hogs. Also few snakes and fewer ticks. Maybe a little like Eden where Adam and Eve were told to dress and keep.
