Building a Road Through the Woods with John Deere 650
มุมมอง 376K3 ปีที่แล้ว
Just built a road on our family property with my John Deere 650 bulldozer in the Appalachian Mountains of North Carolina. This video was shot during the most beautiful time of year - Fall in the Blue Ridge Mountains. The bulldozer is a 1997 John Deere 650G with the forestry package. The winch which was included with forestry package has been a necessity for working in the mountainous terrain.

Sadly, the pilot and two passengers were killed in the crash. The debris field is scattered over a large area in steep and rocky terrain. We found some landing gear, the engine and a large piece of the ch...

    Wow havent been there in ages. It did used to be a fireplace according to dad. Btw...I'm offended the site of the Historic white pines tree fort hasn't been the subject of one of your videos. 😅 @8:56 I fell down it trying to slide on my butt, still have the scar. The trout were traumatized.

    it would be so pretty if you flew a drone with a camera up the creek, to record the falls, in summer, and in winter. It would be epic if you had zip lines and could take them one by one down the many water falls from the top of the mountain to your place

    will this road be ok for full size pickup trucks or SUVs??? Or just mid size vehicles that have good 4x4 and low gears??

    • @davidcook2687
      @davidcook2687 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      I’m actually still working on the the switchbacks. It has 3 of them and it’s hard to widen them because the hillside is so steep. Right now only a mid size truck can make the tight turns.

We have the props and some other smaller pieces, heard you mention looking for them. That would be a tough search unless your in Arkansas lol. What’s the closest you can drive to there? Any info would be appreciated!

    U need a bigger dozer for a job like that. A d9 or d10 or a d475 would be perfect to push straight through rocks and all. Your dozer was just too light.
