- Back at it with the great drone footage from the mavic mini of some ohio river barge traffic and of course some more footage of the homestead projects. In the woods today with the John Deere 755 Compact Utility tractor doing trail maintenance on the four wheeler trailer. Using the tractor to carry the brush out and cutting the brush with our new Ryobi 40v battery powered chainsaw.

Trail maintenance with John Deere 755 - PLUS - bonus barge footage
As per Kirby website barge #21850 is for AMMONIA.
Did it happen to say how many units of it could carry
@@johnwarren-649.There is a lot of info on the diff. barges, and I mean a LOT, just have to dig through the pages.
Probably to make fertilizer
I've been watching your videos for a couple of months and have become a huge fan. I like your upbeat attitude, your explanation of what you're trying to accomplish, and your efforts to keep your channel interesting.
Ms Gayle I truly appreciate the kind words! Thank you
Ending drone video and music were a perfect combination.
Captain, on this stressful "social distancing" day one of your videos was just what I needed! The calming effect of your drone footage combined with the comedy and entertainment of watching you work is better than nerve pills! You are doing a public service, at least for me. Thank you and God bless
mrmikeyd thank you for the kind words sir and glad you’re enjoying the content!
Liked the camera shots and drone footage. Gonna make some headway with the skid steer. Hope everyone there is healthy and happy. Stay safe
I just want to say, i love your explanations of what you are doing, and your family vids, and the barge shots. They are so RELAXING! Keep it up! Remember, Rome wasnt built in a day, keep at that honeysuckle(be glad its not Kudzu!) and Roundup really is your best friend in this fight. Just spray it on the honeysuckle vines and bases, it wont come back. It also dies when it hits dirt(the Roundup does).
Baby Catcher I am so thankful we don’t have kudzu here. That stuff is aggressive! Thanks for the tip on the round up and you’ll be happy to know I ordered a set of chaps!
John and crew At Upstate Brush Control have fun while working.
tom alberts yes they do!
Agree on Upstate Brush Control. John, Willie and Josh do some fine work with 1st class equipment. Love their new Ventrac!
Bob Grier that ventrac is a neat machine!
@@CaptainKleeman I am so jealous! But they are way beyond my means, and I'm a bit long in the tooth to try to start a new biz. But I can dream.
That saw is looking better and better
Chris Helms certainly proving its usefulness!
Definitely like the up close shot on the saw.
Anthony A thank you!
I like the electric saw and the new angle for cutting too. I am in Minnesota with at least a foot of snow still in the woods. I have a John Deere 955 and I keep chains on the back tires all the time.
walter mattson 955 with a loader is my dream tractor! Their newer series just can’t touch the simplicity and durability
AH my barge fix for the day. Going a little stir crazy being isolated at home with the virus here in Canada. Years ago I worked parttime for a rental shop and in the winter when we got heavy snow I would go in and use a JD755 like yours with a snow bucket to clean the lot.
Gerald Heitman love that 755 and glad you’re enjoying the barge footage!
another fine video Capt. it's coming along
Tony Peters slow but sure!
Really love the drone footage !
Stanley "Dirt Monkey" Genadek I’ll try to keep it coming. Thank you sir.
Good stuff Captain, navigate on!
Travis Macie thank you sir!
Can't Waite for you to get the boat done. Then we can become partners in the shrimpen business. We can call it bubbagump shrimp. You can be Lt Dan !!! Looking good this. Great job and keep those hits commin.
Spydr 1 hey I would be honored to be LT Dan!
I like all of your camera shots ...even the one str8 up . Thanks again !
mrbakerskatz thanks for the feedback!
Nice tractor drifting!!
Jodi Miller it’s the only way to take corners
Awesome video captian kleeman its looking good!
Adam Romesberg thank you sir!
I’m looking forward to this coming fall when you get drone footage as the leaves are changing. Good to see the road drying out a little.
raylz19 it’s beautiful here in fall. Should make for some great shots!
Progress looking good
Larry Kleeman thanks!
Baton Rouge is a long way. It must take those barges weeks.
Takes about 1 week to go south, 2 weeks north
Robert Powell Jeff would know, he is a pilot and actually passed us just the other day!
@@TimeLapseTowboater Thanks for the info Jeff. I hope I will see you on the Captain's upcoming video!
Hi Captain. Thanked Jeff for the info. Hope to see him on your video soon.
If the timing works out, I'm sure Cap can make it happen. This trip we came by about 2 hrs after the sun went down, trust me I tried to speed up.
Another excellent video, keep em coming.
Great land management Captain 👍👍
Murphy Law thank you!
You got to admit that honey suckle has sweet smelling flowers, although intrusive. I like the camera angle on the saw. I may have something to help clear up the dense woods. Maybe an addition to the Ryobi tool kit? Will definitely help. Good video, stay safe. Cheers!
Keith L we do love to snack on the honey suckle as well. And they do smell nice. I picked up a weed eater as well the other day. Curious to see how it works out. Stay safe sir!
@@CaptainKleeman Oh well. That's what I was sending. Is it the same battery type? (Ryobi 40v)
When I see "trail maintenance" I think of my father. That's what he did? He worked for the Park Service. He helped maintain back country hiking trails in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. They also maintained graveyards where people were buried before their descendants were forced off the land when the Park was created. Daddy was on Hazel Creek building a foot bridge in 1974 when he had a heart attack. His co-workers had to revive him, pack him out and carry him across Fontana Lake by boat before an ambulance could pick him up and take him 30-40 miles to a hospital. He seemed to respond well to treatment but on the day before he was to be released he had another heart attack and died.
We have honeysuckles here but they don't get as big as yours. But we have grapevines and muscadines. And worse, we have the dreaded kudzu. I am on a mission to rid the world of all the vines I can before I kick the bucket. Sorry I didn't mean to write a book!
Papaw sorry to hear about your dad. But I bet he was one happy man when working those trails. We don’t have kudzu here yet and I hope it stays that way!
Those vines choke everything off, but you can't tell tree huggers that!
Man With A Plan you’re not wrong!
I like the electric saw. I wish you lived near me, I would spend a day or two and help you get that forest under good control and burn some of those piles up. Have a great day.
Brent King -gmail King hey I would take all the help I could get! Stay healthy sir!
Great scenery, river and barges, we get it but i just wanna see chopping and burning! Keep up the good work and vids, can't wait for the final result. P.s been watching Upstate Brush Control for sometime now. Nice bunch of guys and some interesting projects.
andrew wootton plenty of burning and chopping to come sir! Thanks for watching!
@@CaptainKleeman Great 👍
Hope your goona send me out a hat or somethin for namin the whoppa choppa😂😂 just jokin😂😂 great videos👍 hope your and dirt perfect keep Rollin for a long long time👍👍👍 wish you two and the crew the best😁😁😁
bullfrog machine hey if I had any merchandise i would send it you way sir! Hope all is well on your end sir
@@CaptainKleeman it's all good👍👍👍 thanks for vids
Hey Kapitan, you should get some 1 inch square solid bar and bolt about 4 or 5 to your bucket as forks to work with all of that brush.
oldredcoonhound would definitely come in handy!
I have a set of Titan bolt on debris forks, pretty decent poor mans grapple.
That pulverizer does a great job! I wouldn’t mind having one myself. Soon it will be dry enough till those turf tires will do anything you need. Have a good one!
K&H Tractors it’s a pretty handy tool! As much grief as those tires give me in some situations, I still do prefer them. I’m a bit believer they act like another clutch between the drive train and the ground. Haha
Captain Kleeman I’ve got turf tires on our Kubota BX and I’m completely ok with them too. They are better then what people give them credit for.
Hi Captain, another great post. Glad you're getting the weather to work your trail. Those vines are crazy😕 I have never seen so many so large . We have vines English ivy that chokes out trees. And we have poison ivy but a much smaller bluish vine about a quarter inch. Thanks for sharing 😀😀 🇨🇦 Craig
Craig MacDonald weather has been cooperating lately which is nice! I’ll have to look up what English ivy is.
Its no wonder those rivers are so muddy, with all those barges churning up the water and silt.
It would probably clean up nice like the canals in Italy after the lockdown.
oldredcoonhound it’s muddy like that because of all the rain we have had. It clears up in the summer.
@@CaptainKleeman Rain beats the snow 🙄 we just got 5 inches ladt night after a few nice days of melting 🤷♂️.
Cap’n nice progress on the road. One can almost drive it!
I do my vines differently. I cut them off about 3’ above ground just like you do. But, I hook a chain around the roots and jerk them out. Haven’t had good luck with them dying out when I leave them.
My neighbor cut a path along our property line. It is for his little kids to walk and ride bikes. I pointed out that all those sticks coming up knee high from the forest floor were Poison Ivy. He’s from the city... and told me he wasn’t afraid of Poison Ivy because he wasn’t allergic. We’ll see!!!
Enjoyed the vid... and the bar mount shots were cool. Stay safe!
William Harris taking the roots out is probably something I may start to do once I get some room made.
I suppose time will tell with your neighbor. Some people just have to learn the hard way.
Love your barge music, don't know what it is but I like it.
Looks like you are all most done with the road! Maybe soon you will be able to start the house. Great drone footage! Thanks!👍👌👏
Lenne Longe getting close. Hope to break ground this summer
Once again a great video 👌 the music at the end is very relaxing, don't know if it's meant to be but I found it so.👍👍🇬🇧
Ronald Davies it’s supposed to be! Glad you’re enjoying it sir.
I've got a pulverizer like that and you're right, it does come in handy on small clean up jobs. It also works great to rejuvenate a gravel driveway when the rock needs to be brought back to the surface. Stay safe bud.
Blackdog Tractor/Excavator you’re exactly right about the gravel. That’s what I did with it yesterday actually.
Well, we prefer long shots showing the progress and the scale of work. An occasional closeup or shot of blades is good but all-in-all would prefer tripos shots.
Glad you have long term vision! You will make a beautiful happy place. Keep killing trash and invasive stuff!
Upstate brush control does some great transformations of overgrown land. Here in Texas similar companies have chewed up land overrun with cedar and the end is awesome
Willim Kn I try to keep a good mix of shots for everyone. Hope you’re enjoying the channel and thanks for watching!
@@CaptainKleeman oh yes my girlfriend and I watch you regularly. Along with dirt perfect Andrew cammarata let's dig a bunch of other people including TH-camrs that are building things doing things. My girlfriend really likes your sense of humor also as do I
If you're not averse to chemicals, Roundup has worked for me on bush honeysuckle.
Fire Captain Tom I’ll keep that in mind! I’m thinking once I get a few more trails cut I may get a sprayer for the tractor.
Ahoy Captain
Murphy Law ahoy sir! All well on your end?
im diggin the music, im so loopy on pain meds right now that it helps me nap!
bvfdfire1 naps are a good thing! Hope the dreams are exciting!
@@CaptainKleeman bulldozers and moving dirt!!!!!! LOL!stay safe friend!!!!
Marvelous video Captain! That attachment seems to be a very effective trail maintenance tool. The saw shots (from the bar) are cool, nice innovation as usual. Hope you're staying safe, protecting yourself and your family from the Carona pandemic. 377 here in my county are now infected. Stay safe at the station and out in the woods!
Doug@ the "ranch"
lakesideranch we haven’t had any infections yet. But a friend of mine at another department says they have some confirmed. It’s a weird feeling having to Decon before I enter the house. This is just wild and I don’t know how else to explain it.
@@CaptainKleeman Hang in there, protect yourself and your family! We need you guys at the station house to be extra careful, now and always.
Doug@ the "ranch"
Ur making progress slow but sure will always win the race lmao didnt know you were in a race did you Keep going vast improvement from your first video of the property I will say though that every firefighter I have every known have always had a side project too much sleep at night is my opinion lmao Have a great day
Larry Ceaser hahaha! Hey! Don’t be sharing our secrets. Haha
Nice video Captain! Looks like you are clearing a nice go kart track for you and Mr. Dirt Perfect to test your racing skills!🤣 jk its gonna be a very nice trail to walk and ride on! Thanks
jerry dyke hey that would be An awesome go cart track!
Saw works good u put your John deer through the test
Richard Hedrick I expect a lot out of that machine and it typically delivers!
Yes John the owner of upstate brush control has some amazing stuff
Jeff Rhodes agreed!
Morning Cap! Have a river questions. Not being familiar with your part of the country, although I did have family who lived in Jeffersonville. So here it goes. Does the agency responsible for navigation on the river (if there is one) require pilots or does the Ohio not require any form of navigation assistance? Given the size of these barges I would assume that transportation up and down the river would have to be regulated for passing?? Again these question are from an FNG who has little to no knowledge but interest! Thanks.
robert simmons it’s all regulated by the coast guard. Great question!
Some areas will have coastguard Vessel Traffic Service when the river reaches a certain height such as Louisville. For the rest of the Ohio, mostly it is trained Pilots making the trips and training the next generation. For most companies it takes several round trips with a trainer before you are standing watch solo.
@@TimeLapseTowboater Sounds like someone who has walked the walk! Thank you for the education.
Check out Vbelt and Son. The machines they have could mulch your problems pretty quick!
michael robbins I enjoy their mulching videos! Seems like a lot of dodge videos lately though. I enjoy the channel though! Hard workers
Really starting to take shape and yes you need to keep the honey suckle in check or it will take over everything as well as the poison ivy cause of your beautiful wife and family dont need them getting it a ruining more of there fun this year. Keep up the great videos
Kenny Mysak thank you sir! And thanks for taking the time to leave a comment.
Looked like redbuds starting to flower in back ground, vines seem to become very invasive once they get started, same way up here
DeWayne Gaskin they are starting to flower! Pretty trees.
Oxygen pooping 😂
Thanks for sharing your thoughts and adventures. The camera view on the saw gave a good perspective on its performance. Looks like it’s pretty good and handy. Still liking the drone footage, do you go down to the river or are you flying from your home up on the hill. Sure seems like you have some good batteries in it. I once saw a guy with an airplane type drone and he hooked it up thru a cellphone to fly it over the cell network and flew it from one of the islands in Hawaii to the next and back. Took a few tries because he was loosing signal between the islands but eventually found a spot where the coverage linked together. Forest management looks like it’s coming along good. That was an interesting implement for the tractor, seems to do a good job. Stay safe, wishing you and your family the best.
Tom Bixby I typically fly from the house. I’m going to have to look that up with the cell phone plane thing, that sounds pretty interesting, a clever idea for sure! Aside from the whoppa choppa, that little pulverizer is my favorite implement.
Looks to be propane (or butane or ammonia) tanks on those barges Captain.
Wayne Crews thank you sir! Just imagine if one of those had a malfunction! Wow
Captain,,,, three things you’re missing a pair gloves,,,,a pair of chaps, , and a set of pallet forks for the front of that tractor so you don’t have to handle that Burningwood more than once,,,,, you’re working a little too hard, , if you got a nice piece of equipment that’s my opinion but who might junkman do
Samuel Bacon chaps are ordered actually. So that’s exciting. And I don’t have the money for forks, I get by fine without and work don’t something I turn always from, so no worries there. Thanks for watching!
would love to see the inside of those tugs.
Baja Bandito well stay tuned!
@@CaptainKleeman Look forward to it. We don't have those types of tugboats in Vancouver. We have the Fraser River and big tugs but not like yours. Hope you and your family are staying safe and well with this crazy virus that is going around.
camera angle good
Leon Marut thank you!
hmmmm"a little too hot "" remember defensive driving 101 in emergency vehicle driving lol
Charles Serong haha, I make wee woo sounds when I run the tractor!
Hey captain a couple videos ago you said you had a chain sharpening tool to show us and you didn’t get a chance any way I’d love to see it if you have time
collin allen well I ended up not liking the dang thing. So I didn’t share it. Sorry for the confusion
Captain Kleeman no problem thanks for getting back to me
How do you keep your drown flying that long? Must have a big capacity battery. Makes good videos.
Clifford Green it has about 25 minutes worth
I always cut them an put Tordon on the stump of the honeysuckle to kill
John Warren I’ll keep that in mind! Thanks for the tip sir! You still driving with all this mess?
@@CaptainKleeman yep still gotta feed American
How about a set of chains for working in the mud?
Ian Birkmyre maybe one day. Every time I look at chains I get distracted and buy something else 😂
Dose these vessels carry placards? You might look closer for that.
Larry Dan Poe I have never seen one. That’s a good question though!
Love your vlogs but I also love the music on your intro's and outro's.Sounds like same band group or whoever.Very good could you tell me who the artists are.
Bernard Phillips I’m not sure, it comes of a music app called Add Music
What about using fire to control the underbrush? Burn out the understory.
Brian Gardiner some of it I will burn, But I need to get enough trails (fire breaks). Cleared first.
@@CaptainKleeman Good idea. That is the last thing you want to do is start a forest fire. I know about forest fires. We had the largest one in AZ in 2000. Burned 500,000 acres.
Good vidja how long does the battery last on the chainsaw. Keep up the good work 💪
Evan Bump Meadows it’s hard to saw, just doing what I did in the video, it lasted the afternoon and still wasn’t dead when I put it back on the charger.
Up States chopper/mulcher would save you a lot of time. How many acres do you have ?
Kirk Wilson we have six acres and my orders have six acres that butt up against ours.
@@CaptainKleeman nice chunk of land
Captain Kleeman I have 8, about half needs the same treatment your doing. Considering hiring a forestry mulching skid steer operator. They get about $750 for 8 hours in my area, one day might get a half decent job, two days would give them time to really make it nice.
Hey Cap if I was ya I'd get me some extra rims with mud grips tires and use them and change them out when ya need the turf tires just a suggestion great videos thanks
TIM LASHLEY it all takes money, maybe one though! Would be a nice setup!
What lake is this.
Is it really a tug if all it does is push?
David Bortolin on the river they are called tow boats or push boats. Tugs are typically ocean vessels or marinas
Are you going burn that brush or buried?
Rob Bee a lot of that I will leave in piles for habitat and rot. I try to only burn if it’s in the way of something I am building like a road or building.
Are you going to leave it all there to decompose?
Construction Trucks some of it yes, some of it will get burnt.
how far away is the drone from where you are standing?
Matt Kirsch ua136plumber I can get about 1500M if it’s a clear day.
How far can the barges travel up and down the river mile wise?
walter mattson they can go from the gulf just north of Pittsburg I believe. Now on the Mississippi, they will for 40 barge rows, on the Ohio They typically max at 15
What happend to the rear wheel on the whopper chopper
SGC1972 gleaton I took it off a few years ago
Is the river always so muddy?
Frank O'DELL in the winter and spring it is. In the summer is calms down a lot
I just don't understand, Michael. You put all that work into making your property better, but yet you clean a trail, or a particular area of the woods, and then just push the crap off to the side of the trail. Why? I noticed you doing that when you were cutting in the road. All you're doing is making a mess that will eventually need to be cleaned up another day. Seems like you're working against the grain. I know you got your burn piles but man, sure seems random. Not hatin, just saying.
2ridered2 Have To make access before you can start cleaning areas. Two: I don’t own every piece of equipment and I can’t have every piece of equipment every day. So I do the work specific to whatever equipment I have at the time. I won’t waste time or money doing anything other than the task I rented Th equipment for. I can always clean up brush and timber on my own time.
I use to like the barge footage.Till the old time music started to annoy me. LOL
Screamo works much better, obviously.
BZ1340 try turning the volume off?
Capt K. You remember mini bikes? Small tractors are like a 90cc dirt bike. Leads you to believe "you can do it". Man you need a real tractor with all you are intending to accomplish. Enjoy your channel.. stop attempting to kill yourself by being under powered!
michael robbins hey you pay for it, you got a deal! I use what I have and I rent equipment if I need something bigger.
