Thanks to all my loyal subscribers and fans of the channel and music..I appreciate ya'll...you are the motivation that keeps this channel rolling! Thanks so much!
Josh, We just had a company do the same at our farm just outside of Fayetteville, NC. We had around 10 acres multched. What I've learned from our experience is that you will want to leave enough space between the trees for bush hogging. Even with rye grass planted, saplings still seem to grow. This is something that I've been battling with this past summer. Farm is looking great man, keep it up!!!
Stoney Ridge Farmer Thank you for putting out the great content!
+Josh....You say 'thanks' to US while we come here to gain hope for our future? 'Appreciation' goes both ways Sir. Never lose sight of that.
Stoney Ridge Farmer Hey buddy, Thank you for making these videos and for sharing what’s going on in your life. I always learn something new from you, plus I love seeing how Stoney Ridge Farm is evolving and growing. Even though I’m not there with you, I still feel like I’m a part of Stoney Ridge Farm!!
Hopefully one day soon I’ll be able to come visit you and see your farm!
Really enjoyed the music. Was it your own creation?? Loved to download the song if link shared
I can't believe how many negative people are hating on the 3000 price the guy has 120 k asv 35k mulching head 15k trl 55k truck has to replace teeth 30 of them 130 per tooth every 250 300 hours uses 70 80 gallon of fuel per 8 10 hour day the maintenance costs is very high because the motor revving high all day long even 185 an hour is still a good deal all of you want every thing for free it costs big money to own and run these units stop your crying
It's pretty funny...no matter what ...when it comes to heavy equipment, trucks or chainsaw videos...I have an outpouring of "naysayers" that just have a better way.....I know this guy kicked butt....did days and days of work for us...not fighting ticks....chainsaws...dragging brush...nothing of the sort...the land looks nice and creekside is mulched...can't beat it
@@StoneyRidgeFarmer I agree saved a ton of time and his costs are very high I'm an owner operator I run produce coast to coast my equipment costs are insane repair bill fuel ect when its slow you go backwards if you don't make enough money you can't write it off way too many negative people and most think they can rent one of these machines cheap I look to rent one and closest I could find was 300 miles from me 2500 buck 2 days with the head and it would have taken me twice the time it took him experience pays
Everything else is true except the 120k for the skidsteer. At most 70k
Don't tread on me a new 75hp Kubota track loader is in the 70k range. If you want a 120hp ASV forestry machine then the new machine will run $110k to $130k. Then you still have to get the forestry mulcher head $$$
I just got a bid of $4,200 to do an acre of brush in SE TN which is estimated to take 2 days. I paid quite a bit less 2-3 years ago for a similar amount of work. I don't know what to do. I know there are other mulchers because I've seen ads, but I can't find them online. Guess I'll keep searching.
From a blk guy in Detroit who has never ever even seen raw land in my life. I really enjoy these videos they inspire me to one day own some land of my own...P.S. the theme song is hilarious 🤣 😂
Hiring one of these guys to clear 2 acres of my 6. Learned real fast that I was not 18 anymore.
How much did that cost??
As a contractor, When you said "he can pee anywhere on the farm" We really appreciate that. Quite often we have a half a pot of coffee in us when we show up. And I like your plan using the dogwoods.
Very nice to hear that someone besides myself thinks that farms can and should be beautiful. Thank you so much for sharing. And that machine is awesome. I want one for Christmas!
I don't see anything wrong with a man who takes pride in his land, the health of the ecosystem that he's able to positively affect, and also enjoys when not only himself, but others look onto his land and see beautiful natural native flowers and wildlife prospering. This is all in all a win for everybody. Win for the stoney Ridge farmer. Win for the company he hired. Win for the whole ecosystem in the area. Very cool project. I enjoyed it thrmoroughly. Your land looks beautiful and is such a pleasure to look at.
That is sooooo freaking cool!!! I bet it smelled like heaven when those cedars mulched.
Heaven I don't know about heaven probably more like a hamster cage
@@TruckTaxiMoveIt one man's hamster cage is another man's heaven.......I guess
You now have new subscriber because your clear, concise and succinct! You didn’t waste my time, thank you
Dr. Dave
I had a guy like this come out and work my property. Made for an awesome day with the kids watching him clear our atv trails. Now we have 7 miles of trails on our property
Nice!
Now that you've got several years behind the forestry mulched project. Why not show the views of the ground now? I'd love to see it.
Yes…would like to see how it’s grown in with your plan.
I spent a lot of time with a chainsaw and a bank axe doing that the hardway . Pay the man and go fishing instead.
AMEN TO THAT
That depends on how hard you had to work for the $$ you paid the equipment owner.
The problem arises when the business owner wants to make enough to end up in the top 10 pct of incomes.
I was quoted 150 per hour with a minimum of 5 hours. I figure my property needs about 10 hours or 1500.00 for the acre and a half of stuff so thick I can’t even walk into it without bleeding or itching for a week. If I can use that part of the property going forward I have increased the value of it many times over for me and my family. It’s a cheap 1500 bucks if it increases the value by making it useful again. Just another take that maybe some folks don’t consider when they see a price only.
I cleared an acre of woods with axe and machete.. Took two years and all off time I could spare those two years.. Still got 80 large oak and pines left.. Is a mulcher good with larger diameter like 18 inch ta 30 inch pine or oaks or is a dozer better ?
@@JustMe-mg6vw he's not pocketing the whole hourly rate he charges. Most of that goes towards the fuel to keep that machine running, consumables like those carbide bits on the front. Maintenance like oil changes and repairs. Licenses. Taxes. etc etc etc.
He's lucky if he's pocketing half of the hourly rate. Probably closer to a quarter of it.
That! Was! Awesome!
I never knew there was a machine like that. Tyvm for sharing.
Glad I found your channel this passed Sunday. Yes, I watch quite a few videos each day, afternoon and night. ♡
I agree with you 100% We just purchased our first 38ac in TN so I've been binge watching videos. I see so many "farms" that are muddy messes...I told the hubby, ours WILL NOT look like that. I want self sustainability but in a beautiful setting that I enjoy looking out on as I sit on the porch watching the sun set.
Seems like it’d be worth spending a day or 2 falling trees and let him grind the stump, freeing him up to clear more land. Very cool informative video! Thank you for sharing!
Yes. Go in there in the winter when the critters are gone. Haul out all the wood over 6 inches.
Wow, that was awesome! Thanks for sharing, and will look forward to the park-like results soon enough!
I love the fact you want to make a park like feel to your farm. So many farms don’t think about the look and enjoying what you see everyday. I can’t wait to see what you build in your farm
Had I considered how much work it is to clear brush, brambles and vines I would've hired one of these guys. It didn't cross my mind until I was already on my second of 4 weekends and I only cleared a space about 30x200. Was so overgrown with privot and big thorny vines you couldn't crawl through it. $1500 per day would have been money well spent.
A. I really liked the song about living in the country. Well done! I also agree about the dogwood and the clover and such! Love your vision for your farm.
Gotta love watching these things tear some stuff up! Awesome power
I remember about 25 years ago back in 95 hired a guy with a small dozer to clear and pile 2 acres for me. He did an excellent job and I was happy. I burned brush for about 2 years after to get the land cleaned up and looking nice. I enjoyed all the burning but it was a lot of work and took a lot of my spare time. The ones who knew how much I paid for the clearing thought I paid double what it should have cost but not one offered to pay for the job. I am not complaining but I never tell anyone now what something costs. If you are satisfied with the job thats it. It aint no one else's money or bitness! I enjoyed the video!
So glad you posted this vid. Never heard of a-forestry muncher.
Run little squirrels! Run away!
Good job and good price.
Love the tunes playing around minutes 6, 7, and 8. You have some tallent and passion there man. Great vid, love the machine and mulcher. Awesome to watch it work
I got 150 acres in NE Texas thick woods and brush. I found a guy asking for $150/hour. Done! Money well spent!
Hi! I'm in Texas with acreage needing land clearing. Who did you use?
That area is going to look so awesome in the spring, in full bloom, with the creek and the green grass! I'm with you brother! I agree that the farm could look really pleasing to the eye. I spent a lot of time in Europe as a kid and saw all the manicured properties belonging to the various palaces and it is striking!
I really enjoy your music and your channel. I like that you show us things that we have never seen and how they work -- very interesting. God bless you and your family and keep up the great work!
Thanks buddy
We had one of these things come in at camp. Incredible machine
Great video, man......and your music is perfect! That was some awesome footage of that killer machine too.....wouldn't want to get my finger in that mulcher LOL along with anything else....loved it all!
Pecker wrecker.
Hey Josh, from one Josh to another, I've enjoyed all of your videos. My family and I just purchased 15 acres in Pittsboro, NC and this video encouraged me to hire someone to come in with a mulcher to clean up a lot of mess on our land. Thanks for all of the information.BTW, Hippy Town is awesome, we'll have to invite you down when were all settled in. :)
Love the passion for making it look like a park. I feel the same way and I believe that it will add incredible value. Good luck.
That looks so much better. I wish we had a machine like that when I was a kid.
Josh that's a nice touch at the end of your video to reverse the progress on that tree stump grinding an interesting element of the vlog today! your making Stoney Ridge Farm a beautiful place. keep up the good work Josh.
Thanks Phil! Thought that might look cool reversed
Phil Lully in
Perfect! We just got a bid to do the same thing today down in Arkansas. Loved the music and showing us the before and after!!! Keep up the great videos. God bless!
Really looking nice. Damn, I want one of those. Thanks for sharing.
I appreciate your interest in the appearance of your property. Now to maintain it!
Great job and I loved the song!!!
Awesome. Love the farm, playin with big toyz!
I recently found your videos, but I love what you have done and plan on doing at Stoney Ridge Farm! Keep up the great work.
thanks buddy welcome to the channel!
Dang!!! Looks very nice!!! What a difference.
yea man...get ready...I think I found a place to put the rest of those trees lol
Great video Josh. I love the forestry mulching machine. You can't beat how much work that machine can do in a day. Love your CZcams channel! Hope to see you soon.
Thanks Robert
Thank god I got a nice one in my front yard
Finally found a video that addresses exactly what I'm looking to get done. Looking forward to more of your videos. Liked & Sub'd. Many thanks from Central Florida.
Right on Rocco good to have ya! I dig the truly Italian name brotha!
I'm learning so much from your channel great job
Dadgum dadgum! I need one of those at my house for about a week!
Rent one they are cheap
Love the music and setting of your farm love it thx for a beatiful thing
Great job brother.....I just hired a crew to do the same on my farm outside of Atlanta and it cost 27k,and it was cash well spent.
We had this done two years ago with the blade type machine, and I would recommend it for an area that is going to remain woods, but definitely not recommend it for creating pasture. The blade type machines are much faster, but make much larger chips. We paid $75.00 per hour -- but he raised it to $125.00 for other people in the area. It cost us $1,200 for two days.
You are 100% correct about cleaning out the woods. We are doing the same and planting prairie grass and wildflowers to restore the oak savanna that used to be here. Much of the understory around here is just invasive species anyways, and looks terrible.
I’ve been watching forestry mulched videos since seeing this one as this guy here is a MONSTER compared to many others! 😎👍
That was 3 grand well spent, Your farm is Looking Good..
thanks buddy
That is one amazing piece of equipment!
Gosh, that blue dually is beeeautiful. 😍😍😍
The poachers are going to love you for clearing that up for them. But it looks nice.
You're awesome man my new favorite farmer!
Great idea! Super Video as well! I own land in Kershaw SC that I’m selling to Gold mine. I may use this gentleman on next piece of property, I’m doing 1031 rollover. Thanks Dr Dave
Good results for what you wanted to do to your farm.
That thing goes right to work ! Like a beaver on MT dew
Now I'd like to see that video!
Danny does great work, have had him up here
I saw your CLEAN up video I want
To see how beautiful you placed her down to be it's been a about 3 years and so I thought maybe you have a video of it now my brother bought 5 acres in Oregon and that this is something like what I'd like him to do with his property he has a a nice creek going by his property one part on partial the other part on the other side of the parcel so there's a Creek in between the two parcels thank you very much and I agree we can see the deer grazing have a beautiful day and thank you again
look at my video "Who needs a forestry mulcher" and you'll see this area 4 years later...just keep it mowed and it looks great
If you hadn't been so far away I would have got those cedars and left a short stump. Like working cedar.
Boy that was fascinating . I just cleaned up 20 acres with a tractor, 2 chainsaws and a DR chipper. He would have been worth every penny. Loved the video
It's been a couple of years and you might not see this, but curious how long it took you to clean up the 20 acres with the equipment you mentioned Dennis? I am looking at doing something similar. I am not in a hurry, so it can take me as long as it needs to, but would like to know what i am in for. thanks!
@REEF Will do...just in the process of finalizing the purchase on 20 acres ourselves...we have 10-12 acres covered in trees, that we plan to thin/clear over the next few...years? Ha, not sure how long it will take. We did end up with a good amount of cedar, so thinking we could have a logger take that, make a little money, and pay for the rest to be cleared? Not sure yet how we are going to tackle it.
Holiday on the Farm, Where are you located?
@@southernpinesfarm1436 We are in Lewis County Washington. Chehalis area.
That makes quick work out of them. I want to do the same thing at my place
very interesting, i've never seen one of those before. good stuff...
Great song Stoney Ridge!
Great videos Josh! I watched a few of them before I realized where you are located. I live in Elkin! Keep up the good work!
Great job on the music too!!! Your farm is going to be awesome.
Thanks so much
Bro. You make good videos. Your a natural. Keep doing it. This machine is awesome.
You are doing a great job. Your neighbors will be griping come fire season and your place will have a buffer zone protecting you from all your lazy neighbors.
Enjoyed it very informative learn something what you paid for 2 days of work is very well worth it I would have paid that in a minute
That's good you're doing it for deer and such
Those mulches are a great piece of equipment. Your land is looking awesome! Get some drone footage! All the best buddy
sure is sin city farm my kubota/case IH preimere dealer sold pile of them from small,medium and large ones
👍Nice job!
Stay safe out there!
Quick story: a farmer in Indiana had a dream just like yourself and farmed for 30 years. got his farm looking the way he envisioned it and then one day he was mowing grass down by the pond and the tractor flipped over, killed him dead! His family said he had mowed that area 1000 times but it just took one crazy happening to kill the man 🙁 be safe out there!
Ouch
If that happened in east Texas I owned the business beside his up town. The terrible part was that his wife found him and that nearly killed her. I dont know if she ever got over that. I went through a divorce and lost contact with her and her family.
How dod it happen on a hill?
2Ryled -mowing “sideways” and somehow toppled over into the pond, pining him under tractor.
@@majorpayne5289 wow thats horrible. I dont operate my tractor on a hill for that reason. Scary. So sad that happened to him. Poor wife.
Stoney ridge song got me ! 👍👍👍
New subscriber here, I'm in Piedmont NC too! Thanks for informative videos.
Nice job! I love what you've done with the property and agree with your vision. I'm in need of the same thing (much smaller property).
Woooo! Stoney Ridge👍
The price was spot on, very very reasonable.
Great price. I was thinking that clearing that amount of area up was going to cost more than 5k.
Very good music and cinematics
That one mad machine thanks for demo on it👍
Yessir
Thank you very much for this video. We had spent years for someone to do this sort of work. Forestry companies ignored us as best or were just plain rude. Danny (Creekside Mulching) just completed three days of clearing on our property. We cannot tell you how great it looks and so extremely happy with the results. Danny is a super nice guy and just a breath of fresh air to work with.
So I am curious how many acres did they do for you in that 3 days time?
@@Ugadawg631 Danny covered about four acres. He asked how many trees he wanted him to not cut down. He could mulch anything 14" or smaller. We also have very hilly terrain. There were some large trees that were fallen and he had to cut and move.
Park like look beautiful, well worth the cost
This gonna be good ! That cedar got to smell good. I could use that old boy on my place! Only have 9 acres, but clearing an acre like that would be good.
Oh yea the whole field smells like Chrismas!
Great videoJosh.
Thanks for sharing this with us. I have found that it's better to fall the trees in the hey field and drag them to another spot to mulch rather than have all that debris over the field. Cheers
Great video. We are buying overgrown property about 2 hours East of this guy. Might be looking him up soon.
I love it! I need to find someone locally, Northeast Ohio, to do the same...
That was cool!
That’s a great job and great price
Awesome!
Beautiful!
I like the brush you got rid of. I cringed when I saw those beautiful cedars cut down though. I would have bush hogged around those bad boys.
You are doing it right for sure.
Big power tools!!!! Yeahhhh
Yeppers!
Seed out the silvopasture. Bring in old useless round bails in winter, and a greg Judy bale unroller. Spread it and let your animals stomp it in. This way many things happen simultaneously. Covers the bare soil to prevent erosion, saves seed cost, provides mulch for new growth to feed on, provides some animal feed in winter month. Cows can trample and mix and no labor on your part. Time is managed better. You can be off doing other projects. Love love animal laborers.
I have been using danny for years he is awesome
I would pay $3k to get the job done to that standard and in that amount of time! Awesome!!
I know this video was made awhile back, but I just happened to come across it. Very well done, and very informative. Timing is interesting on our end. We just bought 4+ Acres in rural Oklahoma. The land is totally raw, and has probably never seen any mechanized equipment on it. It is so overgrown with scruboaks and brambles and all sorts of junk. We won't be able to escape from crazy California for a couple more months, but I'm already getting bids on thinning out the entire property and putting in a house pad of about one acre. The prices that I'm being quoted are in line with what are still listed in this video. It seems like the range that I'm getting is between $1,000 and $1,500 per day depending on what equipment is used. One company is about $1,800 per day but that's two operators and two different pieces of equipment, which sounds intriguing. Most are saying my land is a full 2-day job. This was a great video!
I would recommend “HESCO” barriers around the farm. They have two footers that could line driveway with plants or flowers. Also, “Gibbons” (not sure if that is the right name) which would use rocks stacked up high inside a wired mesh type enclosure that you would fill with river stones. They look great and rustic with the rocks.
Stone walls in certain areas would also look great!
Nice videos! I always wondered how much that forestry mulching would cost!!!!!
Very very impressing I like it
