Man, that Baumalight MP560 Forestry Mulcher & Baumalight MX330 are some powerful pieces of equipment. Looks like they made life a lot easier and saved you some serious time. That cleared out island looks great!
That is also one of my favorite type of videos. I’m so happy for you and your new place to play is going to be a great addition. I was going to enter a few comments before watching the video but you addressed them so I’m glad I waited (tree trimming with flail, and following up with a saw to clean the ripped stubs off). One comment that I was going to make that you didn’t address is that even if you don’t stock that little pond with fish, the birds will do it for you. It takes longer because they transport eggs off their feet whereas you could put in fingerlings.
I've been enjoying the pond series and hopefully the main pond will have the fix you've been wanting. I caught your angle grinder video and found it to be very informative. I have the same switch on my grinder and will be shopping for a new grinder. I've been using mine for 20+ years with no incidents but a wise decision to replace after seeing your video. Hopefully you can get it put back up as it seems to have been removed. It was a great PSA and thanks for sharing your story. Stay safe!
What a great transformation.. I don't know why but I see white gravel road in an S shape under the trees and a small bridge going over the pond. It really looks great. Love the pond updates and now that we have 2 ponds it is like Christmas lol.
i started watching this channel for firewood splitting content, subbed for pond build, keep coming back to see all the wonderful changes. i watch everytime I get a notification, cheers yall
What an amazing project! Turning a simple borrow pit into such a cozy spot is just fantastic. You can really see the effort and passion you put into it. I’m curious to see how the final result will look!
What a great transformation! Seems like your next implement should be a mini-skid steer. It's been a game-changer for Mike Morgan and it might be a good tool for your woodyard and property. Really good video, Adam!
Love this tool. I find Backing up on my tractor though, is pretty stressful.... but that looks way easier than any other way to clear the land! Best, -- J. Andre. / Old Iron Acres
Adam, from the start with the making of a borrow pit /catch basin, I was thinking a campsite in your future. I think when you get that cleared, you will be surprised how useful that area will be. I think it is time and money well spent, thank you for taking me along as you improve a very nice set up.
Excellent job. It’s awesome what you can do with a little effort & some thoughts. Your family will enjoy this area for years to come. TY for sharing all your hard work. Dave D from Maine.🇺🇸👍
GOOOOOOOD SUNDAY MORNING EVERYONE!!!…game changer is an understatement!!…😮😮😮… wish they made one for a compact tractor …Adam, that turned out AMAZING!! Well done! Thanks for sharing Have a day 😊
that area of your property is really looking nice. I think i would use the darker pond dye , dark blue /black on that second pond , it would look more natural and fit better with the lake type setting you just did, in my opinion.
One of your best videos for sure!! I know how easy it is for other people to spend your money. But, I'd really consider planting some October Glory and Red Sunset Maples strategically around the new pond. The fall colors would be incredible for the "Hometown Acres Park!" In a couple of years you'd have the iconic NE backdrop going forward. Awesome job!
Nice land clearing video. Impressive implements 👍 A small section of geotech and pea gravel or pavers for your fire pit and your good to go once the grass grows in 😊
My favorite kind of videos, too!! Great job. I think I'd be at that pond more than the other one!! It's going to be beautiful with snow covering it!! God bless y'all!! 🙏🥰👍👍👍
I don't know if you have wood ducks in your area but a house put in about three feet in the pond would be nice. I have two houses on my pond and have watched the ducklings jumping out! The grandkids thought that was the cutest thing to watch Looks sweet 👍
Yall are really improving your place and have made a beautiful place so far, I imagine the previous owners see what you have done and are envious of the place.
Adam, I watch a few channels that use forestry mulchers and they all have ballistic glass for their windows on their machines. My guess is that your tractor does not. If I were you I would be wearing safety glasses at a minimum. Take a cue from Doug. Anyway, stay safe healthy and cool. Bill H from Cranberry Township
I think because you are sitting so much higher in the tractor and you can't lift the bottom of the mulcher to eye level like in a skid steer it can't really throw things at the glass. It throws things underneath the tractor instead. Depending on how soft the underside is that could do damage and nothing you care about should ever be in front of you when running it.
Good and informative video👏🏻👍🏻. Although it shows the capabilities of a skid steer, your tractor is too large and nice for this attachment. Enjoyed your content🇺🇸👏🏻.
Good morning Adam, what a wonderful transformation, you’re correct it’s going to be a little slice of Paradise in Visionary Paradise. It might even turn into a small skating pond for the kids to ice skate on in the winter. Any thoughts on putting a solar powered fountain in the pond? That new attachment looks like a wonderful addition to facilitate maintenance of your amazing property. Still loving the lumber yard building in the background. 😀👍👍👍
What a great video! I have really become a big fan of your channel. It’s exciting to see how much you have grown in your ability to operate your equipment. I’ve been watching for a long time so I’ve seen a great amount of change in your property.. May the Lord continue to bless you and your family!
I enjoy all of your videos, but this was one of the cooler ones! Wonderful transformation and you probably get tons of these comments about the second pond, but if you enjoy fishing, you could throw a few fish in this pond and Anderson would probably love fishing there!
Mulcher was impressive. I'd run it. Concern would be tires and sharp, pointy debris. From personal experience of putting a sharp piece into a tire...watch out for that. Awesome transformation!
Adam hear me out, what if you completely encircled those tress with water? What a gorgeous little island it would become! Clear out some of the brush and put some sand around the edges!!
Awesome transformation, Adam. The area around the new pond looks great. Just curious: as Lana looked out from the house upon the giant holes dug in the yard, piles and rivers of mud, gravel driveway damage from the storms, etc., was there ever a time when she said "Adam, are you sure you know what you're doing?" 😉😉😉 Another awesome video. Keep up the great work. I will catch you on the next one.
I love how you care for machines Adam - not just their parts, but their emotions too. Leaving some tasks for the excavator to do and showing that while it may not be as powerful, it can do the high work. You don't want sad, grumpy or boastful machines winding each other up overnight in the garage. 🚜🏗️
I'm kinda mixed on this project. Sure, it'll look nice and be safer for small humans. If that's the goal, you nailed it. But for more local wildlife, the more natural...the better. I think it's a win tho, considering your sitch. Would be cool to excavate the last 1/3 and just make it an island...with a bridge you could walk over and kayak under, doing loops all day - I bet the kiddos would dig that.
Having the smaller one on your hyundai is actually really cool, the fact that it lets you get right up on the edge of the water without having to worry about taking a swim.
Looks like your new video was removed by TH-cam so here is my comment on it. >>> Wow! I'm surprised that didn't send you to the OR. Glad you're OK. I know it's going to take some time to heal so take a couple weeks off and let your body recover. Subscribers' orders!
If you price shop those fittings, I've bought male/female sets for $40, bought a 3 pack (male and female in each pack) for $80 on Amazon. Never had a problem with any of them.
I seriously doubt you would find an arborist who would recommend using a flail mulcher to prune trees. Yes, you get rid of low hanging branches easily, but the wound to the tree is not anything that would heal over. If you value the trees, use a saw and prune the limbs properly.
I was thinking the same thing. He did come back and make clean cuts at the end, but you could easily split the trunks and kill the trees the way he was "pruning" the trees.
This might be an unpopular opinion, but the new pond looks much better than the old pond. Personally I would also have more natural areas of the property rather than acres of mown grass, nowhere for insects, etc
You made that look really nice. Like you said it will be a nice place for camping. For now just clean up the brush and burn it in the fire ring and enjoy.
When you're finished with that, would you mind if I borrowed it? Oh, and the tractor it's attached to? I've got 30 acres of forest that sure could use a good trimming up..... 😁
Enjoyed the video, I also have a MT357. I heard and seen where you have a hydraulic top link setup. You mind sending or listing the items you used? I'd really appreciate it.
It's fine on level ground but the pucker factor will go way up on a side slope or uneven ground. I prefer the stability afforded by a tract skid steer for this kind of work.
Looks fantastic! There is definitely something to having the right tools for the job. Did you make the benches by the fire pit? They look great and comfy.
We sat in similar ones at a park/playground area in Pittsburgh… then he found a similar design. His are more comfortable since the seat and back board fit better than the original inspiration… here is his video. Easy and comfortable… good luck! th-cam.com/video/xvmLKQKkHPs/w-d-xo.htmlsi=4Ed-McbIr2ipuEWx
Looks really good hometown!…..kind of makes you think that’s where the pond should of been dug in the first place …..like I said before….if you’re building a pond dam then a pond shouldn’t be there…..natural ponds don’t have dams!

💯💯💯
The aqua marine colour looks like the Caribbean and it's really out of place. Black pond dye or black and blue mixed would look much better.
Those trees scream for a big hammock!❤
That forestry mulcher is an absolute BEAST! It literally just sucks material into it!
Got to love those Baumalight mulchers. It's amazing what they can do on a tractor.
One of your best videos for sure!!

Would be a great activity for you and your son in the garage this winter.

I never thought of that before but you are probably right

eye protection is NEVER a bad thing.
Lol
@@C_J_81as a general rule I agree, but from experience forestry glass is a must.

I plan to
I think I'd make it into a bass pond ... Kids will enjoy fishing that pond and seeing what's in it and how they grow
Mulcher was impressive. I'd run it. Concern would be tires and sharp, pointy debris. From personal experience of putting a sharp piece into a tire...watch out for that. Awesome transformation!
The mulcher takes everything down to the ground. Doesn’t really leave sharp pointy spikes. But I will keep an eye out
@@HometownAcres It appears to do a great job. Just something from experience...Nothing like a rear tire being flat the next day.
Adam hear me out, what if you completely encircled those tress with water? What a gorgeous little island it would become! Clear out some of the brush and put some sand around the edges!!

Maybe in her head but she’s never voiced it haha
That looks great!
Beautiful property! You should be very proud. What an awesome place to raise your children.
That new park is a good spot for wood chips,
Love my fae mulcher head. Easy attach to the skid and eats massive trees
wow that is looking great by second pond.. Hey get some fish for the second pond and u can fish in it... get sone bass and other

Rather than grass under the trees, I think I'd go with mixed wild flower and bulbs.
wood chips
@@InlogixEnterprises This! Now he needs a wood chipper to make his own chips.
I think you could build the gazebo over there and have a bridge. Going across there with lights on it. That would look really nice.
Looks better than the other pond.
That's an understatement. This is a cool little fishing hole !😊
You may want to consider swapping hammers for your Y blades on your excavator mulcher. Especially if you’re going to be cutting brush.
Looks awesome the new pond. You should make it bigger and leave an island would look cool
Having the smaller one on your hyundai is actually really cool, the fact that it lets you get right up on the edge of the water without having to worry about taking a swim.
Yep it’s nice to have reach and maneuverability.
That's some very nice ground-clearing equipment. Makes relatively quicker work of Brush removal. Nice and for me informative video. 👍

@@HometownAcres Don't stress over it. Just get some iced tea and relax at the pond.
If you price shop those fittings, I've bought male/female sets for $40, bought a 3 pack (male and female in each pack) for $80 on Amazon. Never had a problem with any of them.
good job!
Looks awesome Adam!
Looks good. No need for a pole saw for limb trimming when you’re 6’5”. 😊
Beautiful!
Great video,nothing beats taking an overgrown area and making it usable and beautiful!
You'll be stocking that pond with fish pretty soon.
Nice job on the intro. Also, fantastic job on the peninsula project.
Loving the longer videos
You've certainly turned your home into a beautiful place for y'all to enjoy for the coming years!! Stay Hydrated and Have a Safe Day
I seriously doubt you would find an arborist who would recommend using a flail mulcher to prune trees.
Yes, you get rid of low hanging branches easily, but the wound to the tree is not anything that would heal over.
If you value the trees, use a saw and prune the limbs properly.
Yeah I was thinking just come in w/ a saw and cut those down then follow back up with the mulcher on ground.
I was thinking the same thing. He did come back and make clean cuts at the end, but you could easily split the trunks and kill the trees the way he was "pruning" the trees.
I came back and cleaned up the cuts with a chainsaw. It’s easier to mulch the branches when they are still on the tree then on the ground
Without using the flail he would have had a tough time reaching the trees to prune them.
Sometimes you gotta bushwhack.
@@HometownAcres I mean not really considering you have that big mulcher lol. Lay them down with a saw then back the mulcher over them.
That turned out awesome!
You deserve a wider audience!
I enjoyed watching this video. The second pond area cleaned up so nicely! Looks so peaceful.
You've created one heck of an oasis.
What a big transformation looks good!
The little fire pit and lounge benches at the end of this vid are a nice touch. Great place to enjoy an Ife coffee after putting in all that labor.
Nicely done. Those shade trees you left will be very nice on a warm summers day. Looking forward to the next parts of this project.
Nice job, Adam. Great vision on your part. Enjoy the park like setting.
11:44 It would be good to have a camera snake at the end of the implement wired up to your cab, like a camera in a newer car for backing up.
This might be an unpopular opinion, but the new pond looks much better than the old pond. Personally I would also have more natural areas of the property rather than acres of mown grass, nowhere for insects, etc
You made that look really nice. Like you said it will be a nice place for camping. For now just clean up the brush and burn it in the fire ring and enjoy.
Man that machine snatching everything in its path
Hello Adam, Definitely a well made unit, Skidder Kev works his hard👍🇺🇸
Yes it is
Picnic pond and a hockey pond. Looking good.👍
My suggestion for the new area at the supply pond would be some stone rather then grass seed. No maintenance and hopefully would keep the bugs down
When you're finished with that, would you mind if I borrowed it? Oh, and the tractor it's attached to? I've got 30 acres of forest that sure could use a good trimming up..... 😁
That nice shady spot under the tree will be a nice spot to take a break on a hot day.
Enjoyed the video, I also have a MT357. I heard and seen where you have a hydraulic top link setup. You mind sending or listing the items you used? I'd really appreciate it.
Cool tools buy is a forestry mulcher on a mini excavator the best way too trim a tree for it’s health
Adam-
Wow I love the new pond and area! Looks great love how you cleaned up the brush and looks so natural and has always been there! Awesome job!
Awesome! Thank you!
Wow those pieces of equipment did a fantastic job.
Yes they did thanks
Great job Adam. That will be a great help out in the woods too.👍🌲🌳
Great Video! Thanks.
Glad you liked it!
Good morning Adam!
Nice transformation
Paint those benches white. It will look amazing.
In nature, a natural color or stain looks a lot better (browns, greens). I'm no designer, but white would seem out of place to me.
Your lawn is a prime lawn for a battery powered robotic lawn mower. It would probably save you a ton of money in fuel and maintenance.
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
I keep saying this, A pond without a walkable peninsula is a wasted pond!
Congrats on your decision.
It's fine on level ground but the pucker factor will go way up on a side slope or uneven ground. I prefer the stability afforded by a tract skid steer for this kind of work.
I agree. Tractors are much more tippy than track loaders
Great job
Better than sliced bread!
Nice job Adam.
That area will look so much better Adam.
Your farm is looking great and I love your tractors 🇳🇿👍
Thanks 👍
Looks great Adam.
Thanks 👍
I’d plant clover not grass on that back area of the new pond. Brings in deer and mowing would be decreased to none😊
That was awesome! Very nice transformation.
3:20 with that wing, you must get some serious downforce at highway speeds. 😂 Jokes aside, that thing is BA.
Haha
I would clean up more behind the area where you mulched, and get rid of the scrub brush behind those trees.
Looked like a screen from the road to me, maybe?
Super cool! That thing is a beast!!
It’s always good to have a paddle.
Yep
Looks fantastic! There is definitely something to having the right tools for the job. Did you make the benches by the fire pit? They look great and comfy.
I did. I have a video on it from about 2 years ago I think
