seeing the stump alone I was like 'hmm doesn't look that big' .... then you put the skidsteer next to it and 'whooops, ok, you win!" ... that thing is massive.
You prolly dont give a damn but does anybody know a way to get back into an Instagram account? I stupidly lost the login password. I would appreciate any tricks you can give me
With how much steam was coming off that stump, I'm surprised you didn't catch it on fire with the machine and burn it down. It might have been faster too. Sometimes I saw more steam then wood chips. All in fun. Speaking of old skid steers, I use/drive an old skid steer made by a "Mustang", that the only "functional" electrical things in that thing is the starter, alternator, and the fuel shut off. Every time we get it repaired, the different repair men ask if we would sell it to them. I'm guessing the fact that it has all mechanical systems is a rare thing anymore and highly sought after for its reliability. Great video!
Your boys are adorable and having fun in the great outdoors. That was a MONDO stump! It was fun watching you chip away at it. Cool video. Enjoyed watching it.
Great job as always and fun to watch. Love seeing Wyatt and Levi being boys playing outside. Who doesn’t like playing safely with fire?! It’s warm and mesmerizing.
Great video. U guys are awesome. Great work. Thanks for the video guys. Great to see the kids with u. Yes something about the little fires always keep them happy.
Doing some great work and your bringing those boys right, no video games or cell phones just some manual labor tools in their hands and out enjoying mother nature. that is how its done... Looking forward to the rest of the work at this work site.
I like watching you grind stumps and brush up. Basically, running the skid steer is something I'd like to do. Work for someone who owns a business like you do and work for them. There's really nothing around here like that where I live.
Just wonder if those stumps are more taxing on that machine/ head that just standardized mulching. Seems like that put a lot of stress on everything’s. And eats those cutting blades much faster. But an awesome setup. I have been wanting one for many year. About to pull the trigger.
Love your work. Keep the vids coming. I do dirt work and have a few pieces of equipment. You work with what you have at the time. Dance with the one that brung you.
I have a Black Splitter for my Kx080. Mainly split large rounds with it, works awesome. Never tried stumps with it. I'd spend the extra money and get the one with planetary drive if your feeding it giant stumps. Nice work 👍👍
I didn't think the new Fecon had it in it to do that stump but you found the sweet spot on that mess, and with dull knives. Hit her high, come down and wow the wood went flying. I still like the old Fecon better. More drum weight to keep the revs up. Six of one, half a dozen of the other I guess. Slower to stall but the new one is faster to recover. :)
Was Josh going to trim up lower part of tree to the right of new driveway, close to the road? Seems like it would block site distance for on coming vehicles.
Very cool video, thank you! My son and I were riding bicycles in the neighborhood once and a stranger stopped his car to tell me I was setting a horrible example for my children ( I was not wearing a helmet)! I said you should go home and drink a big glass milk. He asked me why? I said it’s good for your teeth and ,by the way, so is minding your own effing business 😎 ie “Don’t worry about the safety glasses comment from the jerk”
Ok guys I was looking for a t-shirt for ladies with your logo but I wanted a pink one, you have the hat but no 👕 in pink... What's up with that? Don't we count? Love you guys , you are the top of the line .
Question - is that smoke or steam? Guessing there is a wee bit of friction produced while grinding like this. Lots of moisture held in the stump. Can see it going either way.
I would love to hear your thoughts on knives versus carbide teeth. I run the carbide teeth as it seems like every job in my area has chunks of quartz laying around everywhere.
The amount of productivity you make with knives is so much more than carbide. We have a good bit of rock in our area too but it is worth it for me to run knives
You know, the music that you play, when you speed up the video? You should make it into a tape or recording for us( your viewers) to play and listen to. Sounds good? Terry- rific
On an old episode of Alaska The Last Frontier, they used Black Powder to blow up a stump. I am sure that their TV Ratings went up because of it, because they now bring in an Explosives Expert now.
Not sure how often you do stumps but it would be a lot faster to hire a stump grinder (that has carbide teeth) or get an attachment and just chip the whole stump in the ground in situ and save having to pull it out and then slowly grind away at it with the brush grinder that was laboring.
John: Hey kids, wanna ride on the dozer? Kids: Nah, we’d rather burn sticks. Way more fun. Good stuff man! Always fun the bring the little guys out on the job! Is there any big difference between the Bullhog and the Blackhawk?
@@UpstateBrushControl Gotcha, looking at getting a mulcher sometime in the future, I really like that Blackhawk, seems like it would do well down here in the lowcountry of SC where I am. We have alot of stringy vines and shrubby oaks and such that choke up wooded properties. Thanks for the reply!
If you have a frost ripper for your excavator you can flip stump over and use ripper, you would be surprised how much dirt and parts of stump you can get off to make it lighter and easier to transport. There cheap to get and almost no cost to use them.
hi friend !! warm regards !!! how much "FECON " paid you for that publicity ....? amazing machine !!! very nice team you have with you working ! Keep strong friend !
Coolant passing through heater coil in DEF to prevent freezing, I inherited a company truck from another driver that said he bumped snowbank and damaged front bumper, behind bumper was temp sensor that controlled DEF temp,the damage shorted a wire so computer was telling def heater it was -40,°f ,I had truck several weeks before the in tank def pump was effectively boiled to death...$3,000 repair. Oops!!!
I keep bugging Letsdig18 about getting a fecon just to make it easier to get the stumps in the haul truck. But i guess you also have to figure in the time and wear on the skidsteer and fecon.
Do you run aftermarket hydraulic connectors that supply less resistance on the hydraulic fluid at the connection point. Thus building less heat due to friction on the oil. I found a company online that as an after-market coupler that says they can reduce up to 15 percent of your hydraulic oil temp due to their design that reduces.. what is the average temperature of your hydraulic fluid when you're running the head heard? Thank you I enjoy watching your videos. We're located in Ohio.
You should have removed the stump and split it with a wood screw, financially that would have been more advantageous for you !! even for future work. Next acquisitions for you: stump removal tooth and wood splitting screw :) And you could also recover the wood to make fires in the winter!
Big stumps like that I just crack in half or even in quarter with the excavator. That asv how do you like it? I’m trying to decide what machine to buy next
15:30 now you got it how to handle this machine efficient and correctly. In general, you are too nervous and too quick. Half as fast and you'll do it right
seeing the stump alone I was like 'hmm doesn't look that big' .... then you put the skidsteer next to it and 'whooops, ok, you win!" ... that thing is massive.
Right!? It was massive!

Great video!
Brother if I had the money. I would buy you a splitter. Keep up the amazing work. God Bless you all and your families.
Dang..that stump was huge,good job on letting the kids enjoy the outdoors instead of sitting in front of the TV or x box !
Thank you so much! I really enjoyed this one!,, WOW
Glad you enjoyed it!
Your boys are adorable and having fun in the great outdoors. That was a MONDO stump! It was fun watching you chip away at it. Cool video. Enjoyed watching it.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Nice to see your boys on the job with their Dad. Won’t be long & they will be learning how to drive a machine.
We are working on that😀
Great job as always and fun to watch. Love seeing Wyatt and Levi being boys playing outside. Who doesn’t like playing safely with fire?! It’s warm and mesmerizing.
Every little boy's dream!
Nice work man! Sharp knives make a huge difference, I want to try one with knives at some point. Looks great
O yeah sure do. Come on down I got 2 for you to try out.
@@UpstateBrushControl sweet! I’m there 😁
Super to see your wonderful boys , great family stuff Its what its all about.
For sure👍
Great video. U guys are awesome. Great work. Thanks for the video guys. Great to see the kids with u. Yes something about the little fires always keep them happy.
Thanks for watching!
Hi John! Just to let you know that your videos are so satisfying to watch.
Congratulations to you and your team for 'projects' well done.
Thank you very much! Thanks for watching! We appreciate it!

Neat video-lovely to see Levi and Wyatt having fun with their dad !
Thanks for the video. Great content! Its fun to see your operation in a little more depth.
Thanks for watching and the comment!
Gotta say bro...the versatility of your operation and your team is impressive!
Keep growing!
Thanks we are trying 👍
Just amazing what you did to that huge tree stump with mode4n machinery!!!!👍👍😆
Great video, keep'em coming 👍
WOW That was a Job by its Self that was a BIG Stump Good Job
Love the angle where we can see the drum as it munches up the stump. Awesome job.
What a great ad for FECON.
That’s pretty cool about those cutters on the asv, I didn’t know that. Nifty and Spify
That is an amazing machine!!!
Just wonder if those stumps are more taxing on that machine/ head that just standardized mulching. Seems like that put a lot of stress on everything’s. And eats those cutting blades much faster. But an awesome setup. I have been wanting one for many year. About to pull the trigger.
I smiled when you mentioned Spartanburg, my home town many years ago.
Good 'ole Sparkle City.
It doesn’t even move when you get to grinding on it,wow 😊

That thing sounds like a pissed off Grizzly Bear when that drum is really digging in...Lol.
That's one way to put it! Ha!
Wow! What a difference! Great work.
Thank you so much!
Great job keep up the good work.
Another perfect job well done!
Nice job John, and crew
Love it. Great job team upstate
That was a huge stump great job thanks for the video
Cool video John , your Fecon showed the stump whose the boss !
Thank you! Glad you liked it!
Nice work John 👍.
Another fine job Fellas
Thanks!
Enjoyed the show
The coolant ran to the DEF tank is to keep the def from freezing in cold weather, not to keep DEF cool.
Yep. It probably froze and took the pump with it.
Makes sense 👍
@@UpstateBrushControl some of the other channel's I watch have had the same problem.
too scared ..lets go! Too slow..
you did a hell of a job on that stump, looks like White Oak. was a damn good size tree.
That stump grinder is devastating!!!
Intimidating size of a stump right there bud..👍👍👍

We got it
That's what more little boys need camp fires and creeks to play in.
And girls too!
Boys are boys, from a generation to another.
Screw that, I would have wanted the machine to play with when I was a little boy.... still do.
I was thinking you'd need one of those Dukes Of Hazzard dynamite arrows to take care of that stump.
At one time, this stump took on the looks of a Gemini Capsule that those first astronauts flew.

Hey great vid just wondering if you owned the big excavator and the dozer
Yes they are ours
Nice. thanks for answering my question keep em coming!
Praying you guys remain safe. Great video as always.
Ok guys I was looking for a t-shirt for ladies with your logo but I wanted a pink one, you have the hat but no 👕 in pink... What's up with that? Don't we count? Love you guys , you are the top of the line .
We'll see what we can do. We're working on new merchandise this fall.
Love the part where you flip the teeth and explain it. Looking at ways to expand our landscape business, loving your videos!
Cap'n I think we're going to need a bigger grinder!
Nice Job when you have the machines. WATCH BACKING UP WITH KIDS AROUND
you guys work hard for sure!!
I have never run into a problem yet that C4 couldn't handle.
I would have given up 10 mins in and used tannerite and diesel.

Yes, it was!
John: Hey kids, wanna ride on the dozer?
Kids: Nah, we’d rather burn sticks. Way more fun.
Good stuff man! Always fun the bring the little guys out on the job! Is there any big difference between the Bullhog and the Blackhawk?
Yes there is, kind of hard to explain in a sentence or two.

Give me a call when you're getting closer on a head.
@@UpstateBrushControl Will do! Thanks!
Such a dad thing to do: give the kids a hatchet, an axe, and a live fire and then go about your work. 😄

hi friend !! warm regards !!! how much "FECON " paid you for that publicity ....? amazing machine !!! very nice team you have with you working ! Keep strong friend !
The fecon shaves like a Gillette. I love seeing chips fly
Family of 2.5 kids can live in that thing ...
The Fecon has met its match
Great video
looks like the old sked steer had a heart attack, or went on a no way am I bush hogging that monster, hehehe.
It’s like eating an elephant one bite at a time but it can be done 😂🤣👍👍👍😉

Makes senses
How often do you need to change the blades/cutters when doing heavy jobs like this???
Poor ol' ChewBarker. That was a real test.
I keep bugging Letsdig18 about getting a fecon just to make it easier to get the stumps in the haul truck. But i guess you also have to figure in the time and wear on the skidsteer and fecon.
Can you answer me this? What do you do with really big trees?
We sold some of the wood the rest of it the customer kept for firewood
Got some good distance on some of the material when grinding on the stump.
I know right? we had to go clean it off a few trees!
@@UpstateBrushControl lol

That's what I was talking about 2:18
Upstate Brush Control Excuse me, i'm french and i don't always understand english very well 😁
Is this what's known as "Coming To A Grinding Halt"? You're right, Jon, it is what it is. Or, eventually, what it was.
"I'm feelin mean, I'm feelin mean!"
Big stumps like that I just crack in half or even in quarter with the excavator. That asv how do you like it? I’m trying to decide what machine to buy next
We love it. Can't really complain about it.
How many licks does it take to get to the center of a 12 foot stump
Too many 🤪
Good video
Glad you enjoyed it!
A lot of work for an RV pad, but top notch as always.
Was this the cheaper route to grind up versus hauling out w/ excavator or burning? Very cool video just curious.
What kind of tree was that huge stump from ?
White oak
Is it dull from pushing too hard into wood?
wow that stump is huge!! I would have just buried it deep lol
Where are the rocks?Are they a problem for the machine?
We try to avoid rocks
15:30 now you got it how to handle this machine efficient and correctly. In general, you are too nervous and too quick. Half as fast and you'll do it right
Привет Джон. Не проще было этот пень просто закопать, где нибудь в стороне? Столько времени и энергии потрачено.
