Would you mind sharing the link for the rake? Mike costing me more money. :)
I've seen people making adapter that they can pick up with the grapple like that and have their yard Rock rake hooked into the grapple. Then using the track hoe to rake stuff low and high on banks
What size/model is that rake?....thanks
Hey Mike, as a pipeliner, I have worked on clearing R/W's for decades and that tool is really the ticket for a place like yours. As to how to dispose of stumps, you are doing the right thing by gathering them and burning in a single pit. Anything else has long term consequences.
Hey Jim, Sincerely interested in what those consequences are as far as the stumps are concerned. Thanks for any info you can give me.
@@64eski Hey Lucky, Actually Mike said it when he mentioned the sinking as the wood decomposes causing a void for water to collect in. That is not too much of a problem out in the woods. But if you don't want potholes to have to use a finish mower on then the best solution is to burn the stumps in a single pit. I've buried stumps on the sides of rights of way and had to go back years later and haul dirt in to resolve land owner complaints when they keep getting stuck in the sinkholes. Hope this helps.
Is it no good for a stove or open fire...?
Typically a stove is placed in your home or a structure and these old decomposing stumps are riddled with bugs and invasive pests that you don’t want snywgere near your home. That would be the first reason I’d shy away from burning it in my Stove. The second would be that it’s just too far gone to efficiently bring it inside. It just falls to pieces and has began its process of going “back to earth”. Anybody that’s sone what mike is doing here knows that a decomposing stump is more like dirt than wood. Mike is not only a homeowner, he’s a professional at what he does. Take his advice and he will never steer anyone wrong intentionally. I’m a landowner/ farmer from just south of him in West Virginia so this sort of stuff is second nature to us.

I use to built burn piles 30 to 40 feet in diameter and as high as I could pitch the limbs from a trailer bed that was 4 to 6 feet above the pile of limbs. Usually around 15 feet high as the base of the burn pile was down hill toward the bayou.
That rake is like a mini grapple. That’s an awesome tool. I can see you using that all the time. Probably the best thing you have purchased for it.
Mike , Don't let the neysayers get to you , I'm in MO and burn piles like that several times a year . I too just keep adding to them . They're sometimes big enough to burn for weeks at a time . My personal record was burning out 3 tees and stumps this summer , thought it was all finally burned out , then went to clear it for next pile and it was still smoldering in the bottom after 5 weeks ! I was surprised for sure .
Good morning Morgan's! That claw is really making this clean up job look amazing. Loved seeing some of what it can do. Hugs from N.C..❤️
Mike, in lower Alabama we are constantly burning brush piles. When we get the cold fronts in and humidity drops, boy will they burn. Get those stumps out. Bury one and in 5 years your constantly filling in a hole. Love the new CLAW! I could really use that set up.
Mike is a very good equipment operator! And it’s difficult to feel grumpy when you see The constant smile with dimples on Melissa’s face. You compliment each other well. Keep up the good work!👍💪😎💕👏
The rake does a great job. I’ve been thinking about making some kink of rake or light rock forks for the tractor.
People that give you crap about burning brush piles have zero experience with land clearing. This is the most effective and efficient way to get rid of brush and cleared trees. Keep up the good work….
Jonathan- Tuff Excavation near Austin TX
That rake doesn't look to big; might fit in the back of the truck for the trip down to Wva. That spot out in the woods would be a great place for a few Amish built buildings for overnight camping; small propane heater, cookstove, compost toilet, bed or cot, city slickers would pay big bucks to think their camping 🤣
That rake is a really nice attachment. Nice Kubota as as well. Here in Maine we have to get burn permits from our local fire department or town hall before doing a burn pile. During the Canadian Wildfires of Summer 2023, the smoke was so bad here in The Northeast, you could barely go outside all summer (hard to breathe). We take clean air for granted until you no longer have it.
Really satisfying watching this clean-up. Gives me hope for my property. Just add equipment and motivation.
We definitely do burn piles and even large area prescribed burns in California during the wetter months. We're slowly working with the community to change the hearts and minds. Show folks it can be safe and better for the environment than letting stuff get out of hand and then risk a large wild fire
Very nice addition to your excavator tool selection. In my mind, fire, controlled, is a reasonable tool to be used from time to time. And your use here is very reasonable to me.
It looks like it works great. I think that you definitely need to look at getting a quick attachment for your stuff. It would be so much easier.
We have had one of the best summers, weather wise, in a long time. We've had a little less rain than those south of us.
That is a scary looking outfit. Cleans up the debris really good though. My dog used to pull the sticks out of the fire when they were burning. I used to get him to bring his sticks to me so that I could put them in. Each fall was the yard clean-up of his sticks. All the best from Petawawa, Ontario.
Looks like T Rex….have a good wk n gathering.
Hello all. Mike that rake is just the ticket! Burning brush is the the fastest and easiest way to get rid of brush and least expensive. I know this isn't PC for your naysayers. I used a couple old car tires to start my fires to burn that rotten stuff. They make for a real Hot fire quick. Winter weekends at camp Morgin burning brush with snow cover on the ground. Your set up is perfect for brush burning!
It’s funny how that works Mike. You’ve been managing your property for years and knows best but there’s some that think they know better. I’m sure it’s going to look great like everything else you do.
Hey Mike that new rake attachment is the ticket. It does nothing short of awesome. Love it! Cool video. 👍❤️
Camarata is great. My "neighbor to the south". He tucks the stumps in, off to the side of the path. I use that same technique here in rocky upstate NY
Good morning Morgans! It was nice meeting you yesterday. My family and I both appreciate it.
🍩🍩🍩
Brush burns are just part of the life of folks that own land.
Wish our weather was like this every year! All it did the last few years was rain constantly. As soon as I sell my motorcycle the weather is great! My luck!
I think the temperature changes are shifting in time ... ie earlier in the year ... this suggests there is some role in earth sun relative distances in climate change ... probably even bigger than carbon dioxide.
Great job Mike love the Claw an extention of your hand picking up wood debris the woods are looking good bud enjoying every new video,love you guys
Mike, I have to agree w/previous comments. The new rake attachment is pretty awesome. Thanks for sharing this video👍👍👍👍👍😺🤗🐺
Hi Mike, I wanted to pass along some info on that pesky Japanese stiltgrass. In case you haven't already done it, the West Virginia Cooperative Extension has information on how it grows and reproduces and what types of methods you can use to eradicate it. Just search for it (the grass, or the Extension) and most universities have a lot of free info on a broad range of topics. Good luck from a fellow weed hater!
I've made the committee several times you need something like this. I have a Leading Edge Attachments Fang Rake and love it. Don't have the bracing in the way which I like. I use it for clearing, demo and lots of other things a very good tool.
Could that be a site for a food plot? Love to see that red and orange burn from the fire. That was a nice one
That's the most awesome rake.good job making a nice little clearing.thank you for sharing your fun.great video
Not only a rake but Also a grapple
Looks very handy
Mike, people are going to complain no matter what. People are going to think their way is the only way despite not actually being true. 4H and USFS have guides on how to thin out your property to promote growth. It really helped me. WV will also send a forester to you if you call and they can help you come up with a healthy forest plan. I burn my brush also. I start a 5x5 or 10x10 pile on fire and I stage a pile of brush 30 feet long x 5 feet thick. I push a small section at a time in. It gives the brush time to dry and makes a lot less smoke that way. I have the panic squad where I live that any hint of smoke or camp fire and they will call it in.
You make it Look so EASY! but that Rake is Great!
I like the new rake bucket. I can watch a fire burn for hours. Thanks for bringing us along.
Hi Morgans
Just love watching you drop dead trees to the ground the bang when they hit the ground, when you have long trees try using two trees to go between to snap the dead trees in half,
Lincoln logs and big boy pick up sticks.
That rake is the bomb
You have major skills on that machine Mike. Thank you for sharing your fun.
You were talking about people complaining about you burning brush on your own land who do they think they are. The government? But what you said about the people that were saying it was probably out west you're probably right. In the of the shots you took when you were out west I thought the wood were just waiting for a spark with all the under growth it looked like a forest fire waiting to happen & that was just what could be seen from the road. You keep doing you & try not to feed the trolls. HAVE A DAY!
Here in northern Minnesota as far as brush fires go being land owners of a little more than 100 acres we have a lot of balsam pine which have a tendency to blow down. If we don’t clear and burn the down trees it’s a fire hazard. We burn several evenings a week mostly in the yard for entertainment and relaxation. Keep up whatever works best for you and ignore the naysayers. Your content is fantastic. Anita and Kurt 😁
I love a good fire. How could anyone be negative about that?🔥
It would b cool if u teach your son how to operate the tractor or skid steer and u pile it up and let him transport it to fire
Looks like this needs to be put in the back of the pickup on the next trip to Camp Morgan...
I use trimec on my yard for weeds. Doesn't kill the grass. Try some in a small spot to see how you like it.
I bet your neighbors really appreciate the smell from your fire when they try to sleep at night.
Like the workings of that Rake . It was definitely a good acquisition.
Mike I love watching you run that excavator I love watching you run that excavator watching that thing operated you like what can use you're right arm and your hand it's just a site behold and now I know why Archie is running around with sticks in his mouth all the time watching you run the excavator
Property is looking really great Mike - great job. thanks for the early Saturday morning video for my coffee time!!
I like a good fire. Have always liked burning wood piles when safe to do so.
Hey Mike, it is your channel and it is your business. There are more positive people here that enjoy the content y’all share week video, Blessings to you
I think you could have a clean up campfire once a week for ever. Where is it , that says burning under brush actually help Stop the Spread of wild fires. Can you do this in WV too.??
Great fire. Straight , smokeless, buen.
Love that attachment would be great for cleaning up the woods with my excavator
I really dig when you manage the property and. I have a piece of property we manage that's forested grassland in Oregon and we burn when we can because we have seasons and what not we do not get the amount of rainfall you get or snowfall in your area. And anybody I think who understands forest management understands slash burning. Keep doing what you're doing don't let the negative comments get you down
Really see a lot use with the rake….love the fire!
Almost cool enough in the mornings to break out the S'mores at that fire.
Looking good fast. Great job, again I point out, you are fast with your skill set.
Love the rake. I just might buy one for my KX80.
Great job and bully for you that you don't bow down to peer pressure 😁
Hi Mike and Melissa
we also have a big burn piles but only over winter or spring summer just gets to dry I love a big burn 🔥 once a year I don't have a excavator but use my Ford tractor and bucket to push up
well done the rake works great 👍
You need to say lightning ⚡️ started it.
I do really like that Rake on the excavator and it's doing a good job
Hell ya it's taking off. You put about a gallon of Girl Scout fluid on it. 😉
Mike you should try the herbicide called clethodim...its a grass killer for clover fields and will not kill trees
Hey Mike why don’t you bring the stump’s home in the dump trailer.And put them in the burn pit.
We live in sw Washington and probably won't be able to burn again until October.
I gotta say it, at 1:57 it looks like someone is taking a leak on the fire
One thing I learned about public comments? If you listen to everything , you will get nothing done.
Nice piece of kit Mike!
Your fire looks about the same size as my weekly Amazon box fires🙂
Here in Idaho where I'm at, we have a burn ban till the middle of September. The day after that burn ban expires, everyone is out burning and having fires get out of control because they don't have enough brains to realize its still way too dry and hot to burn here in September most of the time....and people don't take care of their properties very well here either, so you have tall dry grass & weeds everywhere, and they have the brain processing power to think its ok to burn in the middle of that.
The monster rake is the ticket!
Mike where l live in Williamsport you could not burn like that. We are down almost 6inches of rain
Is this still viewed as a mini-ex ? I mean it is fairly big, heavy and powerful.
Great job looking great nice keep up the good work love your videos thank you
Being an old blaster I'm sure he won't burn the woods down.
Cleanen up nice.
No negatives ever from here about burning your brush piles, or anything else you do, it's your tax paid property Mike! I don't have an excavator, I've never operated one, but what you do and how you operate yours Mike is very entertaining for me to watch since you make it look effortless. I have thought before while you were using the excavator, to pull out invasive plants, that a rake type attachment would be the ticket and figured one was available, and Bam a new level of entertainment with your purchase. Thank you for sharing a part of what you all do...Have a day y'all!
It's all about management and wisdom. Wisdom is the knowledge learned from decades of experience. "Win-Win" results are the products of proper management.
Andrew also took a chainsaw to the dashboard of his truck to mount a stereo, you can't always use Mr. Camaratta as a best practices guide...but he is entertaining. 😂
What your doing is just GOOD forest management. I love that rake. Thanks tor your videos.
It is interesting how different people think that things should be done. I have always said that you can take any task and give it to 100 different people and it will be done 100 different ways but the end results will be the same.
Great video. I like the new tool.
Good morning Mike and Melissa, you two are doing a fabulous job with the way you clear and clean up the forest on your properties. Those who make those negative comments about how you manage your property really have no idea what they are talking about for the area you folks live in and they don't get into the woods like you folks do either. Probably city dwellers thinking they know better and they don't have any property to speak of. Thanks for sharing with us and I really like the new RAKE you have for the Excavator , it's going to see lots of use , Fred
seems like a larger tractor grapple would be more effective for that.
Hey Mike I really like the rake.... I've been catching up on your videos and bought a foam cannon.... its on the way! Also love the ford High boy... I think you should call it Bruiser.... Its Black and Blue!
I'm down in South Alabama and every time I Brun something I have a couple that ride the country roads that are from CA and they call in on me and it's so funny now that the fire department will call me to see if I'm doing a control Brun be fore they drive all the way out here I'm 15 miles from them and they got tried of coming out and having no wild fire that's one of the down sides of the people who are running a way from the woke state Alabama and Florida or being getting to miny people from the state's that are go woke
That sounds crazy. And does your computer have a "period" key?
Greetings from Central NH Lakes Region-The Werk Brau attachments are really solid. Well-made, high quality/hefty steel components, and intelligently engineered by some very talented and hard-working people out in Ohio. They are definitely a “go to” supplier for high quality USA made equipment attachments. Their quality and customer service are excellent according to a couple of people I am acquainted with who have used them. Not the cheapest manufacturer, but worth the dollars!
Such professional videos. You two are really getting good at this. Always positive and I learn something every time.. Been watching for a couple years. I look forward to every new video. Wonderful family. Good job all around!
Been watching your channel for about a month and like what your doing. Don't let peoples comments get you down. It would be a boring world if everyone was the same.
That looks really handy. I bet you will use it for extracting logs from your pole stack and loading the sawmill. Looks like you can see thru it so you have good visibility.
Hey Mike, the rake is a perfect addition to your tool arsenal! I think it looks more useful in the woods than a root grapple on the front of a tractor would be, game changer for sure. Great video thanks for sharing, take care.Tony
Love the new rake! It will earn it's worth many times over. Burning the debris and stumps is absolutely the best way to deal w it. Completely gone and once burned, forest floor is cleaned and much more enjoyable. Thanks for sharing. 👍🚜❤🇺🇸
I live in what's called the "Highveld" or high ground in south Africa. It's a large rolling plain of grassland.
There are not many trees growing here and I must say that I like those forests that you are surrounded by. They are beautiful.
Like the new rake, looks like you can get a lot done in a short amount of time. The fire was mesmerizing!!! Have a Safe Day
After 2-3 hrs in that thing, can you honestly say that you never once played " Transformers" in your head?
As much log work as you do, I'd wager that the "claw" stays on the KX057 more than any digging bucket. Nice addition!
5 minutes into the video and I'm sold on this rake . Awesome purchase!!
Mike if I said it once I've said it a million times , listen to the negatives with 2 ears ,in 1 out the other ! Negative Nellie's aren't you ,there's a degree of jealousy involved. I'm thrilled with the content of your channel. Carry on Mike
So much work and so satisfying , the stewardship that goes into the maintenance of caring for your woodlot shows the dedication to your land now and into the future, very impressive, 👍👍👍👍👌👌
Put sawdust on your garden, it keeps me weeds down and and retains water or moisture. Especially when you walk between the rows.
