Man, one really can get envious, seeing all that space! But hey, you're lettings us take part in it, by showing us some beautiful outside footage, which, I'm sure we can all appreciate more than ever.
u should bring home a bullsdozer from the scrapyard and restore it...
TPAI - your channel is awesome. You can tell from your last video how much you want the outdoors, self sustaining lifestyle. I’m too old now but young, intelligent people like yourself should go for it. Buy some land (I know it’s expensive in Germany) but try every possible way to achieve your aspirations. You’ll never regret it. After 40 years working in a box I have no great memories to look back on. Go for it for all of us who never had the chance. Take care.
Cool to see you over here. Love your channel. And ya all that land would be awesome.
@@rontwigger6706 True ! Thanks for the motivational words!
Says the man who just found the ultimate cabin in the woods...
Matt your editing skills are constantly moving up. People have no idea what it takes to put these films out. Thanks!
some do but its always a lot of work indeed but I enjoy doing it!
I doubt there is anyone who has ever watched one of your videos that would "call you lazy." You are one hard working individual. Thanks for taking us along.
I appreciate that!
The only way to spend a Saturday - Just me binge-watching Diesel Creek!
I would love to hear the backstory about the land/farm!
That would be an interesting video to watch
I’d be interested as well 🇬🇧👍
Yes! I'd love to hear the history, as well!
@@Excitable67 I agree with that. What about the old farm house?😀🇬🇧
Same here ! Answering to one of my comments recently, Matt said he had Czech origins, but I guess that must be at least a century ago...
That chainsaw on high speed sounds like a deranged skeeter.
Always love seeing the little red building in the flyovers. We had a 2 seater when I was a kid. Southern hospitality at it’s best.
As a retired firefighter may I suggest you dig a large holding pond to protect your buildings and home from fires. Being that far off the main road you have limited water for fire use other then tankers. Also, maybe a road to the edge of the river. If you do that, I strongly suggest you have a talk with your insurance company. It could mean saving some money. I don't know how often you put a video together, but they are interesting and enjoyable. May be if you put a date at the end of the title .t would help.
Keep up the great videos and please be safe.
closing shot of grader was a clue of coming attractions forgot about that will be waiting to see how much that can help grading road and spreading stone
😁 you just read my mind !
I like how you stop the time lapse each time you knock a tree over, it’s a very satisfying cracking and crash sound.
Qq
Yeah something about that crack noise.
In time lapse can one shift the sound back down so Booms sound same not like Whining Insect ? Just to make vid better tiny bit, not vital...
That excavator looks like it has paid for itself numerous times. Great video
it has indeed!
Those battery jumpers are great! Our old diesel UPS trucks tend to die in the winter here in Vermont because people like to leave the lights on... Jumped many of them instead of going to grab the big bulky jump box!
You be careful with that grader; remember it doesn't like you much.😁
*Matt, you'll need a "You're entering Private Property and within Range" sign at the entrance of that road in. That 10 ton dumper will get coming in handy soon too. ;)*
😂👍
Lol you’re 100% correct Steve...
And add a second sign that says we shoot first then ask questions!!ha ha...
Trespassers will be shot, survivors will be shot again! 🤷♂️
Well Matt
If you get a little snow cover, or more rain, looks like you are ready for a couple of good bonfires 🤔😉
It's getting there 👍👍
There for a second I thought I was watching letsdig18 ‘s channel but the the belt started squealing on the excavator just a little bit and I said nope! This is the Diesel Creek channel I enjoy more. I love your channel and what you do. Thanks for letting me tag along!
hahah well thanks!!! He sure does take incredible care of his equipment. mine was beat up when I got it so I just keep it going, not worth making pretty.
To convince yourself even more try just starting an engine for a sec with the jumper pack with the battery disconnected. Gotta love all this new tech stuff. Remembering having to have a pocket full of quarters just to make a phone call all the way into the late 90's. LOL!
tech is awesome... when it works!
Yep made me smile that digger looks like an animal in fast mode , thanks for the update Matt, respect for saving trees were you can , great filming !!
That little battery pack jumped the machine ,that’s awesome I would buy one for sure
I’m sitting here looking out the window at snow covered ground, 8 degree temp in Michigan. Whipping through TH-cam ..... I just found my new favorite channel. Subscribed! Thanks.
Awesome thanks bud!!! Glad to have ya!!
"One of those things that make you pucker for a second." Still laughing over that one.
And they aren't your lips puckering either! LOL 8-))
@@BobPegram No, that would be the chocolate lips!!!
Legend has it when you get to the end of this driveway you are 2 hours behind because of time zones
hahaha
🤣🤣🤣
Your "farm road" going to your future house, and to your respective container-shop, and future large shop is looking good!
I am looking forward to the next video showing the turn; going to the respective shops!
Well done, Matt!
another classic Diesel Creek video!
Totally impressed with how skilled you are using all those mighty toys! Love watching the land clearing. I'm a tree-hugger myself and you are amazingly thoughtful in how you deal with your trees
I’m Really into driveways lately, it looks like fun putting a road thru forest for some reason 🤔
th-cam.com/video/x3zTDRav2EY/w-d-xo.html
One out of sweden. (playlist that got me into watching machinery videos)
Lol odd thing is the first time I seen a fella building a road through the wood it was in the late 70s on the road with Charles karault an ole boy was makeing a road in the midwest someplace and all he used was a john deere b tractor and a dump trailer .been hooked ever since
expensive though
Thanks for keeping your videos kid friendly. My toddler and I enjoy watching over breakfast.
I wish shows like this were on in the 70s when i was 17.All we had was Bob Villa in this old house.
You have some good saw logs. as long as they are solid and at least 8" around they can be used. plus a bit of fire wood, actually very little waste
yes I really want to get a saw mill soon!
@@DieselCreek I have a friend who built his house from bush timber,
I expected to see a log cabin but he had the timber milled, dressed
and when finished, varnished, it was really beautiful, a credit to him.
Agree, keep as many healthy trees as possible and practical. They were a long time getting to the size they are and make best use of the felled timber. A really wonderful spot you have there.
Thats the plan thanks!!
Enjoyed helping!
Wow! That little jump kit worked really great!👍
Yes it does!
Plan for the future. 50 years ago, my wife had me save all the trees I could. Now I have about 70 trees that are 80 ft. tall all around my house and any one of them could destroy the house in a wind storm and I'm 76 years old. Believe me, I do VERY little chainsaw work now. Not by choice. I'm just saying.
I plan on thinning alot out as time goes on. father and farther from the house.
if you ask me, there shouldn't be any trees within 120 feet of a house, especially where there's drain and sewer lines :)
@@throttlebottle5906 trees love septic leach fields
Get yourself a logging company to come in and give you an estimate for what they'll pay you to log those trees.
You might be sitting on nice little nest egg.
Make sure any contract includes them remitting the ground to lawn qaulity.
All stumps and roots removed holes filled in and graded out.
Do a background check on them including contacting others they've done work for.
You can have your county land inspector come in and recommend what trees are best to harvest and their basic value.
Agree with woman but dont listen to them.
Try the battery pack on the Massey and let’s see how well it really works. Love your place. Want to see more about the road grader.
thats an IH tractor but it would start it im sure. the grader is coming really soon, ive been working on it!
I love the cherry wood for meat smoking, I make a mixture of cherry and pecan wood to smoke my briskets! Delicious flavor! Can’t even find cherry trees in Louisiana! Good video brother, you’re one heck of a go getter! Thanks for sharing my friend! 👌🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Looks great! Man that cherry wood is great for smoking meat, we don’t have cherry trees where I live in Louisiana! Matt I just wanted to let you know that I really enjoy your music on your videos! 👌🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Some of those trees are what we call a "widow maker" :)
Yeah imagine one had the idea to drop that tree like that with the chainsaw and stayed standing next to it to see how it goes, there wouldn't be much time to run!
love the content keep up the good work brother
For us city slickers, the time lapse really shows the value of heavy machinery........great informative and fun to watch video....... cheers :)
Ur deserving of everything u have. Ur humble and down to earth. And a true go getter. No joke
Get your skates on with your land clearing mate. Under your new federal government you'll likely find yourself in a situation (like we do in Australia) where you won’t be able to remove many of the trees etc on your own property. That may seem crazy but trust me, it did here to once but now it's reality, and legislation can be implemented very quickly. It's different for big business of course, but property owners really struggle to get the required approvals etc.
When is the Bon fire and do we bring our own beer?
Mat, I really like the way you work. Organization is very important and you are one well-organized young man. I salute you. Great videos. Thank you.
It appears you take good care of equipment in you fleet, it always pays off.
Beautiful place. I am stuck in a city centre. All I can do for now is dream :)
wow that little jumper pack ... im impressed!!!
when it works its great, gotta be sure to keep it topped off tho.
Matt, you remind me so much of my son, always doing something. I really enjoy your channel, you are the most industrious person I watch!!! Judy
Wow, thanks!
Looking great there Matt. The place is coming along nicely. I like long driveways like this it means way away from people.
you got that right!! the longer the better!!
Why is the sped up sound of a chainsaw so entertaining?
Sounded like Curly from the Three Stooges.
@@michaelmeyer4497 ah wise guy eh!!?
The hungry Komatsaurus is out eating trees.
The power of the pucker! 🤣
That's a good one Matt. I love to watch you work. Your younger and your body can stand it. I will bet you slept good that night! Thanks for all you do.
Commenters: no trees that belong to you were hurt in this video.
yes I love when people get upset about it. very little waste with me, I use it all for heat!
@@DieselCreek Yea for heat until the new ex and chief signs a executive order outlawing it he’s signed 40 already
@@robertvannicolo4435 Ain't that the truth he's either demented, pure evil, or they got way to much on Hunter and the Big guy.
@@robertvannicolo4435 I wonder if we'll even be able to plant a garden this spring
The battery’s in those little jump packs are made by my neighbors company, Atlantic battery
Matt, that Stihl can take a much larger guide bar and chain. Save the power head and add some length. If you’re worried about wear checkout Farmertec. They’re a Chinese cloner of Stihl.
"Makes ya pucker for a second" !!!!!!!!!!! I'm still chuckling. Keep those sayings coming Matt.
Nothing wrong with wanting to save trees! They give you shade and privacy.
Plus absorb CO2. Fruit trees are even better at it, storing it in their fuits.
If you don't want to collect them, you let them rot, they enrich the soil and feed wildlife.
@@marcryvon 5⁵
I love trees. not so much neighbors 😂
@@gregbrophy5781 That’s for sure
Make sure you recharge that little guy immediately. They don't like being discharged by continuous use without recharge. Ruins the batteries.
yes when you use it on something big like that it prob needs charged before it would work again anyhow.
Hubby wants to know the name of that charger. He was pretty impressed!
thank you for leaving as many trees as possible young man!
Can’t breathe without em!
The weather for the Diesel Creek area today: No snow in the forecast, no frost in the ground, its a good day for brush clearing and stump removal. "Back to you Guy!
".....And now a brief word from Sir David Attenborough Naturalist and Historian".. At 9:02 we get a very rare opportunity and a brief glimpse into the Jurassic world. Here we see a young adolescent Tyrannosaurus Rex toying with broccoli. Being a non Herbivore species and with scarce prey in the area, this young meat eater is having no such luck while browsing on vegetables. Due to its very short arms, Scientists believe this was the main reason why the Tyrannosaurus never ate corn on the cob.
I am in disbelief that that tiny pack pushed that diesel on the run. I thought you were dreaming. My bad.
I have used jump packs like that to jump start a smaller dozer when the battery gets low (450
yes the pack quite the punch!
Looks like the shipping container shop yard is pretty close to the edge of the road I would've cut a little entrance there for ease of access and then you don't have to drive by the house every time you're doing something machine/work related.
Make people drive by your house if they intend to steal something. 1 way in, 1 way out is a good thing.
Enjoyed watching you take down the trees. Got a chuckle when I heard the excavator's belt squealing.
ive fixed it several times. the tensioner refuses to stay tight....
at 14:00 looks like you need a couple more inches...
Good video!!
I’ve got a 400 amp pack that is about the size of my old iPhone. It’s started stuff that it rightfully shouldn’t have......
I was wonderingwben the Death Grader was going to show up
With Maples, if you cut the stump off at 4" above the stump, the stump will have fairly high figured wood with enough length to use as stock blanks for muzzle loading rifles.
Coming along nicely matt
once your driveway is done you should run 1/4 mile drag races 😂😂😂😂
With bulldozers
No hobits or bunnies were hurt in making of this road
You are practicable thinking not lazy👍 Who wants to walk their gear any further than needed😜
Matt, perhaps you should pick out some nice trees/poles and make yourself up a wood shed. Get all that firewood cut up and stored away. Would be good to have woood ready stored away for the shed heater next winter.
Isn't it odd that we humans love watching someone else work? We don't ACTUALLY want to do it ourselves but sitting on our asses and watching someone else work is oddly gratifying. Unfortunately I actually have work that needs done now, we had a BIG wind storm come through with gusts well over 50mph and it dropped 4 sections of our back fence (which is over 100 feet long) and so now I need to pull all the fence boards off of those sections and save what we can. It was actually bad enough that it tore one of the facia boards off above a window on the back of our garage and snapped the 4x4 red cedar posts off that were holding the fence up.. I guess it's time to bite the bullet and use pressure treated wood because soft wood just can't hold up to the wind. It wasn't even rotten it just snapped them off a foot under ground. It's still a couple hours before sun up though so I will sit here and watch this for now so I don't wake up the birds sleeping on our back patio. (they sleep in the Bower Vine) You should cut that cherry and sell it. People love making things out of that stuff and it's not too common to find on the market. There's people that make guitars and coffee tables and all sorts of stuff out of it. That or you can use it to smoke meat. That silver maple is definitely worth money too. Your mindset is very different than mine, I'd fall the trees with a chainsaw first and then come back and dig out the stump.
OH and btw Matt, sorry about the previous comment about the wood chips. I had no clue you put a barrier under your gravel. I haven't been watching your videos very long and haven't watched the old road ones.
I’m not afraid of hard work but I’m not taking any chances 😂🤣
@@bubbagreensmith7174 I don't get it...
pushing over the trees whole makes it alot easier to uproot them and alot faster than getting in and out several times.
Closed Caption would greatly assist your hearing impaired fans!
Im sorry! I have the automatic ones turned on and I can see them from my end but people tell me all the time that they cant see the, Im not sure what else to do!
I have no problem with the captions. They come up every time I watch a video.
Closed captions work for me.
Click on the box with the CC in it on the bottom right side of the video.
I love watching a man run a machine too cleaning up land I wish I could operated one god Bless
Thank you!
Are you starting the house in the spring? Sell the one you have and get started! Just think how much your wife will like designing and picking out finishes for her new house!
Not sure yet. wanted to work toward that more this year but covid put the brakes on all that,.
Who ever had that dozer before u definitely maintained it . and is probably kicking themselves for getting rid of it.
The value of equipment is first judged on hours used. People trade in their equipment while it still has good value. Most of our jobs were six and seven digit contracts. So we included a new piece of equipment for each contract. It kept the operators and mechanics happy.
You’re doing something right I’m starting to see a few more hate comments lol
In this day in age....the hate comments are in your favor.
theres always gonna be some haters! the bigger you get the more they come out of the woodwork!
@@DieselCreek Most from under a rock!!
excellent video ,, i could watch heavy equipment all day ,,that excavator makes short work of those trees ,it's amazing how much leverage it has ,i hit the like button ,,,kinda funny ,9.5K likes and 71 dislikes ,,those people must not like bulldozers
Don’t forget the compactor!! It seems to get the job done! Nice video!
Yes! Thank you! Ill be using it.
If you build a hotel at the end of that it will definitely be haunted! I've watched enough movies at this point.
Looking like you might have another big fire coming up....
Love the property you have. I can see why you want your future home in that spot.
I love it! thanks!!
Matt, it's a delight to see you jump to every tool you need for the job and get it done in a decent fashion, right on!!
Check out project farm he's done a review of jump packs on his channel amoung so many other items
Yea he's pretty great at testing stuff 😀
So was this land all clear cut at one time? It looks like you don't have any trees older than 30 or 40 years old
IT was never cleared but it was logged pretty heavy in the 60s
Be thankful for elm trees that give you a fight. Around here, they're dead and falling over by the time they're the size of the one you took down. Frequently before they reach that size.
HA HA!! Two birds stoned at once!!! Love it!
Will you be working on the church project any time soon.
Nope 74 projects at once is key
@@tjhanlonjr amen
Great video. The road looks great. You are really going to be able to enjoy your property when the road is done Have a great day.
I was taught how to apply geo fabric by a legend in the industry who spent a career building highways and interstates. He taught me to cut you topsoil off till you get to hard base then go down another 7" or so. Put down you geo fabric. Fill back in your 7" with good packing dirt. Track it in. Then put down gravel. It works great like that and also you won't be snagging your fabric when grading out your pot holes and such.
ive helped build lots of miles of interstate Highway and ive seen the geo put down under some clay but theres always a layer directly beneath the rock.
I love your videos, Matt awesome content
This kind of video really brings out the kid in me, I love heavy equipment. You're doing one heck of a great job with these projects, Matt.
Me too! Thanks!
Matt: I'm looking forward to when you start building your home and a big shop on your farm! You've got some beautiful acreage there. 👍
You and me both! thanks!!
Great job Matt.
it's really nice to hear your thoughts and planing process during the video rather than just the final decision!
great video!!!
That's one hell of a gardening tool. Lol
Thanks for taking us along Matt! I always love seeing you and your toys at work!!
Nice touch bringing the grader at the end. Looking forward for the finished road Chief
Nice clean DRY Substrate !!!- ready for membrane and Hardcore
