That was beautiful to watch! I have a plot like that, only down in a hole, and it's a real nightmare. Completely ruins property value and kills off any competition so there's nothing native that can survive in the "grove". I'd love to have someone like you come by and rip it to pieces. Will it come back? Yes. The roots have enough energy stored in them to send up new shoots, which will then start gathering sunlight. To thoroughly kill a patch of bamboo takes about 3 years, and it starts with exactly what you've done - knock it to the ground so the whole plot can be accessed. Now, when the new shoots emerge, someone can easily walk through the area and hit them with a strong herbicide. Glyphosate will work if you can get it on the leaves, but even it's not 100% effective. Triclopyr is good, too, especially for woody stuff. You can paint the leaves and kill that stalk, but there will be other stalks that emerge from dormancy as the bamboo tries to regrow. Gotta stay on top of the process and remain diligent. It can be done, but it takes someone like yourself to start the process. Thank you for destroying that stuff!
Wow! That stuff was really tall. I fought that stuff with a skid steer once, only once. A guy wanted me to dig it up. I said sure, no problem. Next time will be with the dozer or excavator. Nice work...
Thats and awesome man toy!!! 😀I wish I could get bamboo to grow up here in Colorado for a wind break. I have a ton if beetle kill pines this year and running this machine over them would be fun instead of using normal tree equipment/saws.
I wonder if you can grow a bamboo forest in, say, the Arizona desert, mulch the whole thing, add worms, regrow and redo a couple times, , maybe even plow the mulch in have the worms eat it and amend the soil that way 🤔
I know how this shit goes….let one rider go, he tells his buddies, before long their having tournaments on your property….sounds good in theory, but people tend to take everything and then want more….no end to it!
It WILL come back…thicker than ever! We had a field of it next to a cemetery we were renovating…had to spray it to kill it….trouble is, poison kills everything near it…be careful!
What did you use? I have stopped a lot of my forest by cutting it and then ripping up the rhizomes from it. That is the only way I have found to kill it. I also tried an experiment of cutting it, pouring Roundup in the bamboo and then rechecking later. It killed that stalk but a whole forest is going to take a lot of time that I do not have.
@@amyreaves2166 You are right the most efficacious way is to pull the rhizomes but unless you get 100% of them it'll be back in no time at all. The most cost/time effective way is to cut and mulch the bamboo or Spanish reed in the fall then let it grow back over the next summer after the leaves have expanded only then spray with glyphosphate Roundup ProVantage( at a higher than normal concentration) or use Imazapyr. Imazapyr is less selective so be careful if you have trees or plants you wish to save in the vicinity but is far more effective.
I was once on a job replacing a bridge over a driveway and a guy showed up with a rental JCB 220(?) excavator. An old timer operator “supervisor” type, commented that that it was the first time in ALLLL of his years that he’d ever seen a JCB move under its own power 😂😂😂
The soil will love the silica and other nutrients from the bamboo mulch. Will be the healthiest soil to grow food. " The eternal cycle of life" Mother nature gifts that keep on giving.
It will come back the only way to get it not to is to dig it up out of the ground and to burn it all. It will come back every time bigger and better the have stiff to spray on it but it still doesn't kill it. It's just better to dig it up and burn.
Man I hate to ask this but, all you hear is JCB quality is terrible. I love the side door entry, telescoping single arm, and wide multi surface tracks. Climbing over attachments and going backwards in my Cat sucks. How has your experience been with quality? I apologize if I seem out of line. Love your content
Bamboo and cockroaches are the only thing that could survive a global nuclear war. I have bamboo, I know this to be fact. (I also have palmetto bugs, which is Southern for giant flying cockroach).
I enjoy the machine. It’s got it’s perks with the side door, and the easy to learn controls. It’s just tough to get parts for it and no one really works on them in my area. I’m at 1000 hours on the machine and I’ve already had to shell out money on a part that was bad from the factory. Other than that one issue it’s been a great machine. If I could go back I would get the teleskid version.
@@honeycuttsbrushmore3244 thats a cool idea with the teleskid and the side door i dont think ive ever seen one in real life its definately a cool machine

Awesome explanation! Pinning this for future watchers!

I would have to agree. Apparently people pay good money to come cut this stuff out too. Makes you wonder!
Great job and great you saw the fence before you got tangled up too much ❤
Yeah, it will come back. Keeping it mowed extremely close to the ground will eventually kill it. Don't let it reach 6 inches.
Another great bamboo bashing job Lance.
Happy to see you avoided all the metal and fencing.
Trust me, I was watching for it like a hawk today!
Great job, looks so much better. Thanks for sharing. Have a great day and stay safe.
I'm surprised that the bamboo is not worth "harvesting " rather than just mulching it?
How did you get around the wire??? That was a big job. Congrads on a job well done.
Thats and awesome man toy!!! 😀I wish I could get bamboo to grow up here in Colorado for a wind break. I have a ton if beetle kill pines this year and running this machine over them would be fun instead of using normal tree equipment/saws.

@@amyreaves2166 I’m not sure what it was as we hired someone to do it…I will see if I can find the name for you…
@@johnmclaurin thank you!
I am waiting for a friend to get back to me about that chemical!

Bamboo is some tough material to bring up but you got er done
Thanks Mike!
That’s gotta be bad when you’re missing something and then wrapping a hundred feet of wire around the mulcher
Beautiful ❤❤

Very Good JOB Looks Nice
I’ve got huge bamboo in my yard I cut it down and put my goat pin over there they mow down any stalks that come up
we had some in the garden no way I could dig it up like concrete
Hard work!
you did this with bamboo forest.. Im sad
How expensive is that to do?
It will come back the only way to get it not to is to dig it up out of the ground and to burn it all. It will come back every time bigger and better the have stiff to spray on it but it still doesn't kill it. It's just better to dig it up and burn.
Thanks Michael, I’ll let them know!
You can bet your last dollar it is going to grow back.
Yes sir it will if they don’t spray it!
Looks like what I just mulched!
Don't worry, That customer will be calling you back in two weeks when its fully grown again.
Bamboo grows quick unless you get it at the root.
They’ve already sprayed it. Thankfully it’s not coming back.
So you cant connect the hydro lines to the lower side where you'll be able to use your boom extend?
Just curious because I'm about to buy this attachment.
The boom is not one that can extend on this one. I opted out of that due to price! Let me know how it works! I may have to trade up!

So far other than one leaky hose and a wiring harness getting pulled out we’ve had no issues.
Thanks for the comment!
Ok thank you for the reply. I don't know if I don't ask. God bless you
It will definitely come back

Bamboo good n water bos😢
Did u save some bamboo to make fishing poles?
Some bamboo was left behind for the landowner! No fishing poles tho!
Hey, I’m a new viewer I like your machine can you give me some idea how much your investment was for the machine in the head
Machine and head were 85k used when I bought them!
@@honeycuttsbrushmore3244 thank you you do nice work

Hard to kill finally had to set fire to mine .
What type of bamboo is that I was expecting palm leaves
I'm pretty sure it's Phyllostachys nigra 'Henon'
Where are based out of would like to know
North Carolina!
👌🏻
I would never ever mulch bamboo... It's going to make the problem worse!
The owners knew what they were getting into when they asked me to. They have already dug out much of it. It looks great now!
The music is horrible😂
Thanks for the comment Rob.
