G’day Chris, hope you get to read this. I remember the video of you when you first purchased the farm. You had acres & acres & acres of bush and a vision, a dream. It’s has been a pleasure watching it be transformed into what you have now. It’s taken a lot of hard work & sacrifices....Thank you for sharing this with us. Best regards from Australia. 🤠
Interesting watching you clear today. I remember first clearing land and Dad at that time remembering he’sfirst clearing. He said when they first came they used to go out early in the morning and using a pocket knife cot each tree to remove the bark all around and then wait to a big wind storm to blow down the drying trees so that they could pile them up with the horses and start a fire as more tree s where added. They kept doing that until they cleared thetas first forty acres. After 40 acres were cleared they could get the title from the government and load owners. A big deal at that time. When I began clearing we used a farm tractor, Massy 30 ( I think at that time) and pulling a tree at a time. And then piling them for the next winter when we could burn them. Then begins with root raking and piling ( the kids job as they grew up) and use a 1 bottom pile to plot the new land for the first time. Things change a generation at a time, as a old man in his 70’s it is a good reminder of how thing changes and how it is important to adapt to new things. Thanks.
The hurricane 2 years ago took out power in my small town for 4 days. I got solar with batteries. I had hot coffee the entire time. I am not a prepper, but, I was ready.
The way your woods look is the perfect example of when forestry mulching is useful to get rid of all the little trees which look like their dead and open the area up to make it useable and be able to walk through the woods
@@letsdig18 if it’s done right not all of it will come back, some will yeah but then it easier to manage by either keeping cut down or can paint the stumps the regrow . It’s really not much maintaince to keep it from growing back up, only few times a year walk around in the woods and take care of it
It is pretty sweet but I mean why couldn't he he goes to work everyday it's awesome tho gives me something to watch when I get home from a day of paving 🤷
Just found your channel, really wish I started an excavating business when I was younger so my boys could of all worked in the family business, there’s nothing like it, good for you, Godspeed brother!!
I like the inside cab shot instead outside shot when burning. I can see the fire better from inside cab. Not complaining. Just saying. I like watching you burn things.🔥🔥🔥
Oh! how I remember the days when it would take me a few days to cut and clear a couple of trees and look at what you accomplished at the tip of your fingers today, wow. We would burn 3 cords of wood each winter, I have no trouble with the removal of trees as 10 other trees will replace one that has been removed except in some dry regions of the world.
Chris it would be a goo place for some of the rock your digging output it in 3 foot wide strips down hill would help with drainage kind of agricultural land drainage help when buried.
You should haul more of the big boulders home, then you can sell them to customers when you build them a 3 or 4 level waterfall going into one of your extraordinary ponds!!
You really have this green wood burning figured out, i was trying to explain this to a friend a few weeks back about not leaving spaces between the wood to keep heat up. I like how you snap the trees with the excavator.
ISS: Uh, Canaveral, are you aware of a distress fire somewhere in North Carolina? CANAVERAL: Say again, ISS. a what? ISS: a distress...uh my bad, it’s just Chris burning more stuff. Carry on.
That was funny as Hell, When you yelled at that Bull to shut the hell up !! and it did...lololol....Having a Farm , is a never ending jobsite !! Cause there is always something to do on the farm...My Papaw had 2 crop farms an 1 Cattle farm, and I know all to well , cause he worked our asses off !! loololol....Thanks for sharing Chris, you have a Beautiful Farm there yourself !! Have a Great Evening, On to the Next !!
I like to tell people if you want trees go buy you some land and plant them, im gonna do what the hell I want with my land. If I wanted rules I would live somewhere with an HOA
Nice video. I like the burn pile. Burned everything Right down.nice cleared area there for a pasture for your cattle in the near future. Good stuff😀stay safe chris
Has anyone ever contacted you about burying "things"? If I had your machines I could make the world a better place. Most all Politicians would fit where you were dumping the rock the other day...
In Jonathan W's area of North Carolina, the tap roots are 5 to 6 feet deep........his soil is coal dust/sandy mix........but I think he said once that 5 to 10 miles away it is a clay mix.......he owns an operates A1 Towing.....I forget the name of the town he is in.......his current project on TH-cam is "Unit 614" dragline crane rescue........with a 271 Detroit power plant, cable/boom type rig.....otherwise he has been working on a Corliss steam engine display.....and Hot Rods. His TH-cam channel is Jonathan W.
Them cows love you, careful you don't grow attached to them if you are sending them to market. A n old man raised cows and he told me they are the most loving animals he couldn't send to market, even being gord by his bull.
I knew it was past time for you to get a fire going, lmaoooo. Another great video Chris Mann you and John and your family y’all stay safe and keep the videos coming
So, my poor little hitachi 120 has been on fire at least twice, usually found and put out in a hurry, the stuff directly infront of and around the radiator gets dried out in a hurry, then one little spark and the fan blowing on it... pretty soon its a raging inferno.... I'm hyper paranoid about fire anyway... so I usually spot it in a hurry and get it out quick.
It's called HistoricAerials dot com and most can go back in time where they live...so to speak. You have to pay to lose the watermarks, but even still, you can put in your location and see how far back it goes.
Love how proud you sound when you talk about your ability to get burn piles to burn hot enough to burn green wood down to nothing. Too bad it'd be too much of a pain in the butt to strip off that top soil for pasture grass. It'd probably grow great grass with all the composted leaves from the trees in it.
With that bigger total pasture area you can have very decent strip grazing for the cattle, but also for follow up with chicken/turkey mobiles after them. Some people are real "Smoke magnets" and it's not even depending on wind direction. I know working in Fire Dep't! Haha

The humming sound of the Volvo and the turn of the cab is like no other. It is pleasant and relaxing.
Wish I could tell my wife to shut up like that but I would like to see in the morning. Great videos as usual.👍👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Serious quiestion, what does the ususus mean? Does it mean US as in USA?
@@ConstructionMachineryChannel that is for usa flag emoji
@@darkrevenger04 O ok, thanks.
This dude never stops moving. Always working
61👍's up thanks again for taking your time for us all to be with you for the rest of the job
Chris has his cattle trained. SHUT UP. And not another word LOL
Ceder and galvanized lol
I'm going to start a fire.... Seems like a good implied threat, so the shut up worked really well. 🤣
Burn days are a winner! Three things people can't stop staring at ... a campfire, a babbling brook and a Zamboni!

yeah but a year later its all grown up again from all the stumps sprouting back

I admire your ability to post videos almost every day.
It is pretty sweet but I mean why couldn't he he goes to work everyday it's awesome tho gives me something to watch when I get home from a day of paving 🤷
Always enjoy watching you burn stuff.
I liked the bull; "SHUT UP!", "Ok".
Thanks, and Woof to Winston and the others.
Just what we need on these cold winter evenings, watching a good fire being built.
Cow: moooo. Moooooo
Chris: SHUT UP
Cow: fine..........🙄
That bull sounds mad 😠
this^^^ pin it
That cracked me up!
Chris, the cow whisperer
Chris is definitely the Alpha male around there, lol!
It’s been awhile since we had a fire so when on the farm, it’s always a good time. Enjoyed the video.
Just found your channel, really wish I started an excavating business when I was younger so my boys could of all worked in the family business, there’s nothing like it, good for you, Godspeed brother!!
Glad you got a few hours to work your homestead! Looking good!
It’s great you can both burn & bury a lot of the trees you want to clear out to expand the pasture.👍
Its your land, you can do whatever you want! I love how you take the bucket and go “Crunch!” Right on the tree trunks and they break like toothpicks!
I like the inside cab shot instead outside shot when burning. I can see the fire better from inside cab. Not complaining. Just saying. I like watching you burn things.🔥🔥🔥
Hi! A Karen that approves! 😉 i like the fires too!
I can't believe the bull shut up.
My thought exactly.
Looking great.
Your farm, your trees! Great to be in the back yard with ya! The 250 is so badazz...
220e
That cow listens better than most teenagers! I was cracking up that he actually stopped.
You are so busy,always doing something,stay safe!
"Shut up" and the World went silent hahaha
they know whos boss
That was funny they really listen. haha
Wonder who tells chris to shut up 🙈
@@Chris-wh2gy nobody
@@Chris-wh2gy his wife.
I like all your videos but my favorite ones are the 'burn' videos. Keep up the great work.
The sound of breaking wood, a nice fire and an ice cold beer - what a perfect scene😁
It sure is
Awesome love your pond make overs 👍👍👍👍

it's fascinating watching u deconstruct & then reconstruct a fire pile
Your favorite fire and mud I don't know what comes first but you enjoy both of them 👍👍😀🔥🇨🇦

It’s remarkable how such a large piece of equipment becomes an extension of you
You really have this green wood burning figured out, i was trying to explain this to a friend a few weeks back about not leaving spaces between the wood to keep heat up. I like how you snap the trees with the excavator.
Hello glad to see you got some time to work at home
ISS: Uh, Canaveral, are you aware of a distress fire somewhere in North Carolina?
CANAVERAL: Say again, ISS. a what?

I don't know who was more amazed when you bellowed at that cow to shut up! Me, you, or the cow! :-O
I can tell you I went very quiet! :-O
You now have full lid for that bucket!
I like to tell people if you want trees go buy you some land and plant them, im gonna do what the hell I want with my land. If I wanted rules I would live somewhere with an HOA
Enjoyed watching your video Chris hope you have a great week
The farm is looking better and better!
Sounds like the ole bull was curling his lips smelling him a heifer LOL
Looked like me when I came home to my ex wife ...but I smelled shit
Good to know that in all that time exposed to the elements that bucket didn’t shrink any.
Dang...wish my kids listen to me as good as that bull listens to you...one time...good training right there ! Hahaaaa 🐮🐂👍😅🤣😁✌🇺🇲
"Gonna need some more tinder for the fire"
*Knocks down a tree and folds the whole thing into thirds*
"That should do"
And then some!!
Loved the burning video today Chris.
i like it when you do work at home cheers
You gotta appreciate a machine that can pop a 10 inch pine.
Any day with fire is a good day well as long if you don’t burn down the town
Fine place for sandy soil from pet hospital
HI from North Wales in the UK.
Nice video. I like the burn pile. Burned everything Right down.nice cleared area there for a pasture for your cattle in the near future. Good stuff😀stay safe chris
Has anyone ever contacted you about burying "things"? If I had your machines I could make the world a better place. Most all Politicians would fit where you were dumping the rock the other day...
Wouldn’t that make it a toxic dump site? 🤔
Would be a superfund site for all the money it would suck up.
Now you know why protesters stay in big cities . To much land and to many excavation companies in the country.
That's the first time I've ever seen a bull shut up when you tell it too.
Hi Chris keep safe this year nice fire regards from Hampshire England
Adding clear property is always good. I use to clear some by hand. Smaller sections, less got done. Alot less.
I'll bet Chris alerted the fire chief because he was worried about 'Karen'...
Rumour has it that her hot-headness caught up to her one day, and she spontaniusly combusted. XD!!
28:00 Chain Saw? Naw. We don't need no stink'n chainsaw...
I admit how surprised and amazing by the power of that machine it’s unstoppable chopping everything down its path
Good to see someone else has a burn going on today.
Looking great at the farm
Its nice to have the extra for expansion etc, often you dont get that flexibilty
Chip and saw and pulpwood don't bring much. The ashes are probably worth more longterm on the field.
I love the crackling of the fire!
Enjoyed the video bro. Keeping on the good side of the fire dpmt is must for your kind of work I guess Safe travels
This is a fun video....very addictive...
What you need is a pond dredging job close to the farm
I bet the Fire Chief said... " Thanks Chris, its not like you to do any burning".....
The cows want to be in the picture too!😄
In Jonathan W's area of North Carolina, the tap roots are 5 to 6 feet deep........his soil is coal dust/sandy mix........but I think he said once that 5 to 10 miles away it is a clay mix.......he owns an operates A1 Towing.....I forget the name of the town he is in.......his current project on TH-cam is "Unit 614" dragline crane rescue........with a 271 Detroit power plant, cable/boom type rig.....otherwise he has been working on a Corliss steam engine display.....and Hot Rods.

SALUDOS CHRIS ANOTHER GREAT VIDEO. LIKE ALWAYS.
Awwww look at the little utility bucket
Really enjoyed the video, I guess its more fun to work on your own property.

That fire looks dan and findy.
U should have to a picture of your farm from the air when you bought it and then every year after that I'd say u would be amazed in 20 year's
It's called HistoricAerials dot com and most can go back in time where they live...so to speak. You have to pay to lose the watermarks, but even still, you can put in your location and see how far back it goes.
@@xoxo2008oxox that's awesome I didn't know that was available thanks
Alright, a fire video!! Now we’re talking.
Chris the cow whisperer 😆
It's good to see its not raining today, I see sun shine
When he put camera outside , watched for couple minutes and was like “put me back in the operators seat!” Lol. Great video as always
Just an idea, grab the trunk just above the root ball and rub the dirt off the roots using a standing tree trunk? Maybe u have tried that ?
11:17 Oh Karen....😁
ETA All that wood ash would be so good for the soil.
I like watching the power of that Volvo, cool

Bucket will come in handy when your picking change out of wishing fountain😎
Throw a some grass or small grain seed around you with have a good cover in a few weeks.
With that bigger total pasture area you can have very decent strip grazing for the cattle, but also for follow up with chicken/turkey mobiles after them.
Some people are real "Smoke magnets" and it's not even depending on wind direction. I know working in Fire Dep't! Haha
First, we had the horse whisperer, now the Cow Shouter...
I think he must have put a few pics of the local meat packing plant on the side of the barn. I have never seen cows listen that well.
Dude loves to strike a match 🔥
lol the cow listened well
LOL! You know you do some serious burning when you have the fire chief on speed dial and can text him. 🤣
ROFLMAO 😅😅😂😂😂😂
