Removing Huge Tree Roots 14Apr22 Vid-071

- Folks, it's the time of the year when we try to catch up on outdoor chores while the weather is fairly nice. I was getting quite a bit done until I hit several tree roots. Therefore, the roots had to come out using my pallet forks. I thought using pallet forks would be easier than hooking up the backhoe. The backhoe would have done fine but would have left a large hole where I dug into the ground plus the backhoe is a lot more work to connect. My wife was my spotter during this project. She helped me guide the pallet forks near the roots for extraction since I could not see well over the nose of my tractor.
Thanks much for watching my video.
I wish everyone has a great Resurrection Day (Easter).
That's a nice tractor I have a 150 Massey Ferguson which is a 1967 model we have had it for years still going.
Why thank you Danny. So far it runs well. If your 1967 Massey is running flawlesly now, she'll stll be running well when your grandkids are grown up. I have been pleased with my Massey tractors. The cabbed unit is my third Massey. I purchased all of them from a great family-owned dealership. Sadly, the owner passed away and I've only been there a few times since. It's just not quite the same. I miss the owner's smile and warm greeting. It was very personal. Take care Danny and thank you for stopping by. Please enjoy Resurrection Day (Easter) and be safe. 👍🏽🙂
Very nice red tractor ( GREAT RED WORK HORSE TRACTOR 💪💪👍👍👌👌😇😇 ) That was a big root 😮 Cheers
You're right Dasvaae. Those roots had to go. 👍🏽🙂
Roots can be a problem, especially when they start heading towards the foundation of the house. Glad to see you got them taken care of.
Thanks Joey. One truly has no idea how much damage roots are causing until you do as I had done by pulling them up. Dang, I had no idea those roots were that thick and long. Thanks for watching and commenting. 👍🏽🙂
Its a great removal pf huge tree roots thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching and commenting. Have a fine Easter.
This realy very hard work well done my dear friend thank y for sharing 🌹👍
The work to remove the tree roots was not too difficult because I used my tractor with pallet forks to lift the roots out of the ground then I cut them with a chain saw. My wife helped me when the tractor got close to roots that were to be removed because I cannot see down to the ground directly in front of me over the nose of the tractor when sitting inside the cab. Thanks again for watching and I hope you stay around to view other videos. Have a fine week. 👍🏽🙂
Been awhile since I've seen you post. Get them tree roots! By the way that Massey started and your sweatshirt it looks like a cool morning. But it's much better than snow :-)
Hey there Kap. Yep, been a while since any post but thought I'd get something out there. Those pallet forks did super great ripping out dem tree roots but I couldn't see the ground from inside the tractor so my wife had to give me hand signals as to where the roots were. Now that they're removed, now I can mow without those roots shooting me in the air out of my seat. They're like hard-ass speed bumps. Thanks for stopping by, Kap. Say hey to Mrs K (Sharon) and you guys have a fine Easter. S/F Don 👍🏽🙂
Way to do the root removal with the forks. Nice Gc massey too. Full play & 👍Amazing how far out the roots branch out. Hope you & yours had a blessed Resurrection day. God bless
Hey there Josh & Autum. Yep, those tree roots had their tree-freedom for a few years and decided to grow towards my house foundation. They got snipped before they could do any harm to my house foundaton. Thanks for watching and commenting on my vid. I mowed my lawn two times since removing those roots and I don't have any more tree root speed bumps in the back yard but the root holes did make a slight dip when I ride over them. Those holes should fill in after some time. If not, I'll get some soil to fill those holes. Thanks again my friends. Have a fine wek. Don 👍🏽🙂
Good idea to get them out of there. Especially the ones close to your home foundation!
Hey Tyler. Yep, those roots were trying to claim the house. Ain't gonna happen. Thanks for stopping by. Have a great Easter. Don 👍🏽🙂 4/14/22
Rich and I were saying how we haven’t seen a recent video from you. And voilà! Here’s one! Dang! The length of those roots…..all the way to the house 😳 Glad you were able to get them. Hi Auntie! We’ll see you soon!! 😘😘 to you both!
Hey there girly, hope you guys are doing okay up there. Man, those tree roots have been working their way around the house and as you could see, not only were they long but they got thick. They would have easily damaged the foundation. Yep, Aunt Kathy will be heading your way in 2 days. She helped guide me during this vdeo b/c I couldn't see the ground when sitting up in the cab. She was my eyes. Thanks for watching and have fun. Are you guys headed up to the mountains over Easter? If you're traveling, be safe. Love you guys. Uncle Donny
@@houndsmanone4563 We are doing ok. Rich is up in the mountains and I hope to get up there next weekend. I enjoy all your videos!! We miss seeing you. It’s been too long! Can’t wait to see Aunt Kathy! Please be safe in all that you do! Love you guys ❤️❤️
Great idea to use the pallet forks, they worked very well. I could not believe the size of the first one you pulled out. That looks like a good job done
Hello Joseph, the pallet forks surely came in handy. I read a CZcamsr's comments where he said he used pallet forks so I thought I'd try it and it did really well. I will say though, it's quite difficult to see them when they're down low to the ground. That's where my wife helped me. She was my eyes directing me as to how close I was to the roots before plunging the tips of the blades down under the roots. I'll tell ya, they were some hefty sized roots. In fact, some of those roots were as wide as small trees above the ground. Thanks for stopping by and I look forward to your next video adventures. Be safe and have a great Easter. Bye for now. Don 👍🏽🙂
I never even thought of that it's amazing how long those tree roots get abs how close to your house. Definitely a long process but worth it
Thanks for watching and commenting, Kate. It gives me quite a bit of relief knowing those roots are no longer along my house foundation. Once the roots extend a thread-like fiber into the foundation, they settle and start growing fatter and fatter until they crack the concrete and your foundation is weakened. The bricks along that side of your house gradually crack open from the pressure. A pure mess. Thanks again for the support. Will see you and Tigg on your next adventures. 👍🏽🙂
Wow that's a huge tree root! Powerful tractor...
Thanks for stopping by. You're right, that surely was a large root. Have a fine weekend Astig. 👍🏽🙂
You're right Astig. Thanks for stopping by. Have a nice weekend. 👍🏽🙂
You said it was ugly but I thought it went surprisingly well for you 😁 Roots can be a mess! Good work
Hey there Dave. I guess you're right, it wasn't as ugly as expected. I guess the ugliest part could have been me attempting to remove these gargantuan roots by hand or my pallet forks damaging something or someone getting hurt. I'm so glad my wife was there to be my eyes b/c had those forks plowed into our brick walls, it definitely would have been a bad day. Thanks much for stopping by and the support. Have a great Easter. Don 👍🏽🙂 4/15/22
Glad to see you got right down to the root of the problem! The tractor and pallet forks made this a lot easier than I expected. Happy Easter Don
Hey there Bruce. You said a mouthful. I had to get down to the root of the problem. Thanks for stopping in and I wsh for you too to have a great Easter. 👍🏽🙂
Watching
Thank you. 👍🏽🤠
Nice to see you Don! The forks worked great on the roots. Clear mowing from now on. Have a good weekend my friend! See ya!
Hey there John. So good to hear from ya. How's your son's landscaping gig going? I bet business is picking up since it's nicer weather. Sometime back, I watched a video where you and your son toured the greenhouse where he stores or grows various shrubs, bushes, and flowers. That was quite an informative video and your son knew exactly what type conditions to plant the various plantlife. Hope you and family are doing well. I'm sure you're in the house coloring eggs for a big Easter egg hunt in your yard (chuckle). Just messing with ya. Ha, I bet you're popping down some coconut flavored Jelly-Belly jelly beans right now as you read this comment (hahaha)😁 . Okay my friend, just having fun. Have a fine Easter and remember what that day really means for us. It's Resurrection Day 🙏. Take it easy. Don 👍🏽🙂
@@houndsmanone4563 Hey Don, sorry for the late reply. We have been busy but just as much home remodel work as landscaping. Lol. Hope you and your family are doing good my friend! Taker care and hopefully see you soon in a video. Lol
good work enjoy friend
Thanks esanhand for stopping by. Have a fine week.
Very nice
Thank you, Warkop RBT.
Dropping another LIKE on your video! Around our house, we have large oak trees, but I do not think any of them could fall on the house... which is my personal limit... anything that can hit the house must go! In the wooded area, trees which are badly damaged, sick, or dying, have to go.... but I have to make sure there are no bird nests in the trees which are active... and all those zany tiny saplings have to go with the palm frond trees trying to choke out the healthy trees!
Some of our trees in the wooded area have those goofy roots that come up out of the ground and dive back in... crazy! Watching and Supporting!
Yep, I know those type tree roots, Ray. Good work clearing trees that have a potential to harm your home. Stay safe and thanks for watching/commenting. Say hey to Mrs. Hayden. Don 5/28/22
Great video my friend big 👍
Thanks John. I really appreciate you stopping by to show support. Kudos to ya and have a great Easer. 👍🏽🙂
Wow Don! You guys had a lot of tree roots to deal with. Many of them were pretty darned close to your house foundation. Most likely best to get them out of there.
Sure did Gary. That's one of the downfalls of living in the woods. I'm almost too dang scared to check all the tree roots near my septic leach field. As you see how long and thick those roots grow toward water sources. I'll do a perimeter dig around the leach field and hopefully not damage anything. Thanks for stopping by, my friend. Have a great Easter & S/F brother. Don 👍🏽🙂 4/14/22
@@houndsmanone4563 ,you too Don.
Those were pretty big. Good to get them away from the house!
Hey there Chris. You're right. Roots can only spell problems down the road. I kept putting it off and I think had I put it off another year or so, those roots would have penetrated the foundation. Have a great Easter and thanks for stopping by. Don 👍🏽🙂
Wow. Those were some long roots. I hope they didn't damage your foundation. - Rick
Man, I'll tell you Rick, those roots surprised me too. They've been roaming freely for about 12 years and that's something you gotta keep under check or they'll crack a foundation. Thanks for watching and commenting. Have a great Easter. Don 🙂
I'm lucky that I've got an elevated home on the coast......Most of the root system is Longleaf or Cedar....I just keep chopping the top with the rider.....LOL!!
Man, I like that idea a whole lot,Wes. As you can see, I don't have that luxury. Fortunately, these roots weren't too bad but they sure make for a super bumpy ride on my tractor with belly mower. Thanks for stopping by, Wes. Have a great Easter. Don 👍🏽🙂
Wow Don those were some tree roots! You had a good stack of them! Happy Easter to you and your family!
Thanks Andy. And you're right, those tree roots were quite hefty and plentiful. My wife helped me in the removal process by being my eyes. I was worried I'd get too close to the house with the pallet forks so she kept me honest. You have a great Easter as well. Be safe and I look forward to more of your tool videos. I like those. Okay my friend, be well. Don 👍🏽🙂 PS: Thanks much for the support.
Fixed that root you did lol nice job
Sure did. It was growing wild. Not anymore. Thanks for watching and commenting. 👍🏽🙂 5/16/22
How's she goin'? It'll make for a lot better mowing with those roots pulled out. Nice job on the tractor to get at them. I bet those marks from the roots will be gone in a week. Thanks for posting and take care!!
I too think the grass will regrow rapidly in that area and mowing will be less of an
obstacle-course ride. In the past, I had to make a concerted effort to raise the mower deck whenever I'd approach that area for cutting. Thanks for stopping by, Mike. It's always great to read your comments. Wishing you, Nannie, and family a great Easter. Don 👍🏽🙂
very nice vidio
Thanks for stopping by. 👍🏽🙂
Thanks Harry. Have a fine weekend. 👍🏽🙂
😇😇😇😇
Thank you. 👍🏽🤠
Holy smokes, Don, those were some very LONG meandering roots! What kind of trees did they belong to? BTW, I see you coming up on 1K subs. Congrats in advance! Big milestone!
Hey there Martin, yep those were some long and thick tree roots. Fortunately, they didn't penetrate the house foundation but I think had I left them, they would have done some damage. I really should have tackled removing those roots years ago but I kept doing other things. After I saw them, I too said it's good I got them before they had their way with the house. Thanks for the support, Martin. I do hope to someday achieve the 1K subs mark. Never know I might reach that goal this year. I think the tree species is a maple or dogwood. I don't know tree species very well which is something I intend to learn. Have a great Easter, my friend. Don 👍🏽🙂
👍👍👍👍👍💕💕👍💕👍💕🌹🌹🌹🌹
Hope you enjoyed the video. Thank you. 👍🏽🤠
You've got a nice pile of logs for firewood there! Might not be seasoned though! Lol! Do you have an idea how much time it did take to grow such large roots going toward your house? Thanks!
You're right Joe, the pile of roots will make a good stack of unseasoned firewood. The roots are approximately 12 years old. Thanks for stopping and hope that you and family have a great Easter. Don 👍🏽🙂 4/15/22
What's up! Nice job using the forks. I got some roots like that too. Your mower deck looks different from mine. That's not the driver-over one, then?
You're right. I have the manual, crawl-under style mower deck (Model 2300). A drive-over mower deck sure sounds like something I would have enjoyed hooking up much better. Laying down on the ground to connect and disconnect my mower deck is a chore. Getting back up off the ground is even more of a chore (hahaha). The roots removed makes for a much better mowing experience in that part of the yard. No more tree root speed bumps. I have a few more tree roots to remove but they'll have to wait but I can't wait too long since those roots get quite lengthy and thick making mowing even more of an adventure. Thanks for stopping by. Hope you're having some nice weather. It's been hotter than the dickens last week then it turned really cold in one evening. For living in the south, I didn't expect it to be so chilly this far into May. Have a fine upcoming week. Hope you took good care of Mamma for Mothers Day. Later Don 👍🏽🙂
@@houndsmanone4563 Don, you know it...and I know you did your part for your momz if she's still with ya, and for your wife as well. So about the mower deck, with mine, you still gotta get down there and connect the lift linkage and pto shaft. So it's not like JD's auto-connect MMM. I think the only difference between yours and mine is I could drive over my deck to get it under the tractor, as opposed to having to wedge it into position from the side. Either way, personally I'm not crazy about mowing with the GC...gonna make a vid on that soon. Have a good one, my friend!
