    Join us for a unique and thrilling adventure as we take our excavator and specialized pontoon boat to the river! In this video, we're tackling a challenging project that requires precision, power, and a little bit of creativity.
    Watch as our excavator expertly pulls and lifts heavy logs and limbs, while our pontoon boat navigates the winding river waters with ease. Together, they make an unstoppable team, taking on the toughest tasks with ease.
    From the roar of the excavator's engine to the splash of the pontoon boat's wake, this video is packed with non-stop action and stunning scenery. So, if you're ready for a wet and wild ride, join us on the river and experience the thrill of heavy equipment in action!

    Great video Brandon, you and George remind me of Shelby from the old Axe Man series he was a swamp and river logger 😂

    Darn, the way George handled that pontoon boat and rolled up the ropes he'd be a 3 striper Coast Guard Bosun's mate in no time.

    Nice to see your waterways maintained . Here in the northwest , we have to keep them "Natural" ..........

    Brandon, thanks for showing what should be done! Here in the UK we have problems with the agency (Environment Agency) that claims to be responsible for Dykes, Streams, Flooding and Rivers, but don't do anything like what they should, when they should, if at all. They seem to want to charge the Land Owners for "damage" that they ignore, til it gets so bad that they notice, despite being told umpteen times by responsible people (Farmers) that there are problems !!!. Sorry, have to do my bit to get this matter talked about, as there are so many examples of neglect on their behalf, that this last winter, several farmers in Lincolnshire have had to suffer flooding because rivers have not been cleared of debris from vegetation etc that the river banks have breeched their banks, and the agency has done little or nothing to help people.

    You guys did an outstanding job clearing up navigation impediments on those 2 rivers.
    I hope your local government and those who use them appreciates the work you guys put in.
    Looks like excellent canoe and kyak country.
    Especially with Bald Eagle nests in the area for birders to enjoy.

    I watched the corp of engineers doing something similar along the banks of a narrows area at a nearby lake. They created a raft out of beach balls, cause they needed an extra pontoon platform…for some reason, not sure exactly why. But, afterwards, the excavator and skid steer operators had a good time destroying the beach ball pontoon platform! LOL

    Awesome video!! It’s so cool what yall do. I liked seeing Captain Steuben and Hester sailing the high seas in MS Wilson😂😂

  • @alanbierhoff6831
    @alanbierhoff6831 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    Brandon, first off, I think you’d benefit from a capstan winch mounted on the 220 somehow for getting that stuff across the river. Secondly, since you mentioned a long reach/long arm/super stick whatever they’re called, I thought you might want to check out a guy I’ve watched for years called ekcatex in Latvia. He’s currently running a big “long arm” JCB with a fair sized ditch bucket on a tilt-rotator. He used to run a CAT 312 with the same set up but a don’t think I’ve seen it recently. He does mostly ditch clearing and a ton of beaver dams. Today it was 2 swimming pools.
    It’s all ASMR (because of the language barrier? 🤷‍♂️) and it’s all pov from the operators seat. Might show you capabilities of brands you haven’t used idk

    I think a lot of the shallow creeks and rivers should be dredged deeper to hold more water and more fish and bigger fish… my opinion…

    That looks like a man-made river. What river is this?

    @richardskarie802 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

    I originally got started with the channel watching you work on old tractors. Now your other projects have caught my interest. How do you even have time for farming?
    The river project was fun to watch. I found the location on google maps to get a bigger picture of the setting. Keep up the good work and the great videos!

    • @dirtgrainsteel
      @dirtgrainsteel  หลายเดือนก่อน

      Well thank you for watching everything now....well sometimes its tricky but we always find the time to do both!! I'm glad you found it on the map kinda makes the video more interesting when you can actually see how long the stretches of river....thanks for watching!

    Need to get the Captain of that vessel the proper Captain’s hat!🤣 Another thing on that oil injection, my brother burned up his Johnson 90 because the warning buzzer or the pump didn’t work. When he replaced the motor he just premixed oil and gas.

    Wish I had one of those to launch my boat. Then I wouldn’t have to wait in line at the boat ramp. Nice work guys ✌️

    you need a “dry suit” or chest waders as long as the water is not deeper then your chest height.
    it would be warmer and dryer might be a bit more comfortable. nice video you really have to
    know your equipment and your line limits. and how the currents in the water run.

    I truly enjoyed the river clean up. Thanks, Boe

  • @pinwizz69
    @pinwizz69 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    Brandon, that oil pressure beeper most likely is caused by the oil pressure sensor.
    I'd fix it if I owned it.
    Blowing up the engine because you're unaware it's got no oil pressure is a way more exspensive problem.

    Very interesting to watch. Is the state paying you for doing this or is it out of your pocket? I know I live not far from the Eel River and it could use some of this as well.

    • @dirtgrainsteel
      @dirtgrainsteel  หลายเดือนก่อน

      It's the river board that pays us to do this work so state,local and federal funds are used for the work

    Nice work. When are they ever going to open 10 mile road again to the public? It doesn’t look flooded to me.

    • @dirtgrainsteel
      @dirtgrainsteel  หลายเดือนก่อน

      As soon as the DNR gets done with their project they are burning trees in piles on 10 mile road they have probably over 100 piles they made up on the road from wood along the sides of the road
