    Hey kap man another great video sounds like today was just kinda one of those days bud. Just wanted to say thanks for takin the time to post your journey it’s an inspiration for me life thru me a curve ball a few yrs back with some health issues so watching these videos gets the Ol gears spinning to what I possibly can do a little later on in life!.Thanks!

      Thanks man, and I know what you mean on the health curveballs! I've had several of them and I could easily sit home all day with the excuse of bad health. But I literally force myself to get out and do this stuff even though I may not feel up to it. As my mom used to say, there's no time for a pity party! Best of luck with your situation I hope you can make some dreams happen yet! Take care

    Might be worth checking the settings as it's possible they might default to ECO settings when the machine is shut down for the day 🤔 nice video though 👍

    Do you have a video anywhere talking about your method with the bobcat? (Seems the easiest for a noob to use). I have an area I’m clearing with similar trees. Was going to rent something but I’m not sure what. Been doing it by hand lol

      Well I started just like you! I'm not sure I have a specific video on the technique but now that you mention it, I sure could make a 'how to' for people that rent a machine to do some land clearing! I'll add it to my 'way behind' list of things to do! Thanks and best of luck.

    Hold on Kap, there might be an ECO setting on the computer for that thing that will leave it underpowered. see if you can fiddle with the settings and find it or call the rental shop and ask the mechanic, they would much rather tell you on the phone than come do a service call on it.

      Sorry man, I really had to use the restroom and made my comment before finishing the video; you addressed what I said. The phone call still stands. maybe even google could help.

      yeah we did both. With it being a new machine the owner was not that familiar with the computer stuff (and judging by both Curtis and I spending time sifting through the settings, you need at least a 2 year computer degree to navigate it all!)

    Guy is running a 18k lb machine and expecting it to clear like a 50k lb machine. Also that size machine doesn’t take DEF fluid, it is under 75 hp.

      pretty sure I saw the locking cap for DEF fluid.

    This made me think of that Shania song, "That Don't Impress Me Much"!

      lol nice! I actually went to a Shania concert! The only one concert I ever went to! Oh, and I won the tickets, so it was free :)

    That Komatsu does seem underpowered

    If it's a rental machine it's probably turned down for longevity.

    Yeah right....I'm with you---a 9 acre food plot?? NOPE!!!

      It would be nice for sure, but with such a high stem count it would take a long time!

    Thats thing trows more poison out the exhaust than a straight piped engine

    • @KapperOutdoors2.0
      @KapperOutdoors2.0  ปีที่แล้ว

      I seriously doubt that. These newer diesel machines runs pretty clean, and they have to have the DEF systems as well that are supposed to be much cleaner.

      @@KapperOutdoors2.0 that's pure political bullshit, the polute 1000000 times more that those older straight piped engines...i deleted everyting from my diesel engine and have better emissions then original

    That's too bad it seems under powered for it's size compared to your Bobcat. The thumb design could be better for grabbing smaller material.

      Yeah another life learning lesson. But it was fun to operate a bigger machine for a change! Thank you
