      @CaptainKleeman  Před 4 lety

      you're right! and alot of that wood is rot, never could get it to take off, looks like i'm gonna have to come up with plan b for the burn....more fuel!

      @bluemtnsman Před 4 lety

      aha,,, being a firefighter you surely understand what is needed,,, more liquid fuel and perhaps a straw bale or three. I have faith in ya. But a video of the blaze would be awesome.

    It makes perfect sense. Less clank, clank, clanking, and more work, work, working. Nothing wrong with that logic.

    Captain we all know that the fastest and most efficient way to clear with a trackhoe is NOT what you suggested, but to pick up the trees and debris from one side of the lot and throw them with the trackhoe straight into the burn pile. Bonus points for yelling MERICA at the top of your lungs with each epic toss.
    I guess if you can’t do it that way, your way will work in a pinch.

    I agree. loaders are only efficient when loading, and excavators are only efficient when digging. the less tramming you can do with either makes you more productive..

    • @briangardiner1015
      @briangardiner1015 Před 4 lety +1

      Anymore loaders are used for load and carry applications and loading trucks from a stockpile at pits. For general site work excavators are used to load dirt onto trucks.

    Maybe you can design a true House Boat (not boat house) and use recycled material to create a house and touch it off with a boat themed exterior. ??? You could use your handy wall build to form a hull and place a chimney in the center. Build around that and it looks like your logo. Hmmm.

      @@CaptainKleeman It makes sense. You can level that hill. Make it look like the boat is launching out of the slope. And pouring a level concrete pad will give you spacious working area. With a chimney in the center you can burn wood at your discretion and enjoy the cold nights. Make it happen. Lol. Cheers Captain!

    I like the idea of railroad car. Specifically a caboose if you can find them still.

    Just make sure your tracks are level. Wouldn’t want one to end up in Kentucky. 😉
