- Watch this before you rent a mini excavator for clearing land! Work stress? Stuck in a building? Need some fresh air? Then join me for some cab time in the woods today! In today's episode we are back at our Southern Illinois Project 291 project investment property creating a new clearing in the woods (hardwood trees) with my bobcat e42 r2 series mini excavator. We've been in a drought for much of the summer and the ground (all red clay in our area) is literally like concrete, so grubbing the trees, and the tree roots is very challenging with a mini excavator! We are back at Project 291, our Southern Illinois investment property, after building a new road system with my bobcat e42 r2 series mini excavator and while a job like this can be mundane, it's the little wins like this that help to make the day go by a little better! Thanks for joining me today and be sure to stay tuned for updates on our Southern Illinois project property to see how things are progressing! #kapperoutdoors #kapperoutdoors2 #kapperoutdoorsproject291 #clearingland #landclearing #bobcate42 #bobcatequipment #southernillinoisland #southernillinois
Y'all have done an incredible amount of work on that property!
No doubt. Now we need to sell it!!
If you get into locust Roots around here giant shiny green flies like just appear out of nowhere to get to the roots
Wow sounds pretty creepy! lol
Hello,
What ton is the mini excavator?
5 ton.
Just posted a video to my TH-cam channel of my 1 ton excavator paired up with a TMK150 tree sheer. Crazy how well it worked for clearing trees!
Another job ticked off the list 🤔💪👍
Yep. And if it does not sell in the next month or so I'll be working in it more over the winter!

What kind of trees weee those you were removing. Wondering how it’ll do on some different hardwoods. Locust is one of mine. But they’re Honey Locust and not Black Locust.
I have pulled honey locust with my e42 but they do take some time. They are tough suckers to bust the roots and get them out, but it can be done!
thank you! you answered my problem.
Glad I could help! There is a lot of technique involved! Best of luck! Cheers
T-I-M-B-E-R….with crunch and munch. That’s one xtra hongry machine!!
Yep it eats way more than it really needs! lol
I just got an KX17-3. I’m in love! I don’t know why I didn’t get one 20 years ago
Exactly!! But I'm glad I made the move years ago!! Love my excavator!
@@KapperOutdoors2.0 What size do you have and have you went into clearing land?
I don’t have a thumb can I still do this?
Yes you sure can. Thumb just makes it easier to pick stuff up.
Enjoy watching you operate your excavator!
Thanks, it is pretty satsifying for sure!
