I was clearing a bunch of birch <1" to 2" or so. I cut each tree about 6' high, wrapped a chain around it near the top, and rocked the tree out using my 1997 S10 (in great condition) automatic. I had a lot of slack and would give some gas, put it in neutral and let the force of the truck mass times velocity equals force to bend the tree over, break some of the roots and pull it out. This worked 90% or so on dozens of these pesky trees. Liked and subbed, good job!

I guess you can get 6 feet tall in Virgina, too.

Greetings from the BIG SKY of Montana. My brother-in-law is a veteran of the Viet Nam conflict.

Rome wasn't built in a day. Good guitar music.

Now I understand the quikrete.

Greetings from the BIG SKY. A different day.

Doing it right the first time makes everything else fall into place.

Ivory colored rocks don't exist here, I think it's limestone because of the ocean being near.

I proudly possess many Craftsman tools including their chain saw here in Montana and many of my friends also have them. The fang in the middle is a good idea.

Anything not edible should be questioned around John.

Clearing land for human use when nature has created a different purpose is always a challenge anywhere. Where you live the wind and trees will tell you when the nuts are ready.

You ain't the Lone Ranger when it comes to tape measures.

I've had 4 wives and none of them could drive a tractor.

That's a very nice shovel, Meg. I hope you get to put it to good use.

You're making a nice place to live it looks like to me.

I thought they had a 7-year warranty

Bridgestone tracks is What you want

In a multi-pulley set up, the free end attached to the tractor doesn't count as part of the multiplier factor. It is not a live strand. Good job though.

Don't hurry on my account. Doing it right counts. So far I see right.

Felling is relatively easy. It seems like you could better improve your felling skills and have better results.

You can be assured of good people around you guys.

You guys will never move a big piece of equipment again with a rodent under a rig I bet.

Having a bird house implies you will learn about every bird in your country now. I checked my chokecherry trees and they're growing leaves now. Mid May.

Looks like linguini to me, too. Grubs make good fish bait.

I finally found a mission style furniture that I liked that was also easy to make. I made it out of cedar and redwood first to see if I liked it. Doring that build I also made 2 smaller tables out of red wood and cedar. I wasn't sure of the reduction. Then, I made the whole set out of red oak that I live with now. I also discovered desk design through the desk I type from. No fancy furniture in middle Montana, I looked..

That's a fight I'd fight, too. For that much walnut, it's a fair fight.

Wish I had a wife like that!

You are understanding how that clutch works as you dismantle it. Cool.

Greetings from the BIG SKY. More power, Scotty!

Well Meg, you have you priorities right. Gotta build the house for the wood to live in first, then you can build the house to live in.

A serious person would perish in your country.

Greetings from the BIG SKY. Your cedar is sure neat.

I think you better Google on clamping cables. You’re not saddling right. 2 of your cables were right. The saddle is not the threaded piece!

Great demo on the power of pulleys but i think if you had that many stumps and soil to remove and you have enough cash to build a house you would be better off hiring a large dumper and a 20 ton excavator with a root claw and a grapple or thumb attachment .You would have it done in a few days you could use your tractor too .Much quicker.

A family that works together stays together ❤️

Greetings from the BIG SKY. You're lucky to have clay and like it. We have bentonite clay on the Missouri river and it eats trucks.

I see you have cicadas hangin out there.

Here in Montana that caterpillar is called a 'wooly worm'. My Bronco would get there easily. Those wooly worms were the first flies I tied as a little boy in the late 1950s.

You're tryin to photograph while dribbling shells out of your mouth and she's trying to keep a straight face.

Crotch is the correct woodworking term for the Y of a tree.

My 1988 Ford Bronco II in 4wd would work for that if it was newer.

Knowing the scientific method makes learning fun for me.

The difference in the 2 things is most obvious.

Staying within the technology that has the statistics to back it makes sense to me.

You look even prettier with your hair down Meg😮.

32:35 I can do the same thing with my thumbs 👍😁..

Nice use of snatch blocks. But if you dare to use the ladder to put the pulley high up to the dead tree I think you should use your chainsaw also. After rigging your pulleys and cables you could saw an angle cut and small back cut to the dead tree. That would make it more sure where that tree falls. Not as big as normal, but smaller cuts. You probably would not go as high with your ladder if you had the cuts.

The 2 foot side should be sufficient.

It sure looks like your dogs are hunting disturbed ground for anything that moves wrong.
