    Great vid as always Mike! that 160 Makes stumping look easy compared to my 35 lol!h
    Look into getting a hydraulic quick coupler for that machine, im sure one of the companies out there makes one.
    Also i've noticed when I reply more on the ripper curl to break the roots more than I do the stick movement it tends to throw you around a lot less. Not sure if that'd apply to the 160 or not.

    Brilliant Mikey - superb to see the Master back in the saddle and ON SITE.,
    That 4' ripper is awesome, ripping the stumps, good to see it in action.
    The road, yup, the construction traffic will rip it up during the build But tis got good foundations and easy repaired.
    Once the property is completed, a little dressing up, see how the swales drain away....good stuff.

    Boss man… starting at 3:15 the song “Smooth Operator” by Sade started playing in my mind. Watching how every swing of the boom was purposeful and seeing its backswing perfectly blend into the next task was a thing of beauty…. It carried, like an Ear Worm through the rest of the video.
    What a joy to watch!

      People slid off the sides a bunch of times in the snow and ice. They had a bunch of pines though, which blocked the sun from melting ice in some places.

      I watched a DP video from a couple years ago when you guys were all in FL at Ritchie Bros. Associations with other CZcamsrs really helps grow the channel. I watch 5-6 channels religiously…I’m adding Dirt Boss to that group. Some channels have good content, but aren’t entertaining, but I really enjoyed what you do. Keep it up.

    The video didn't show how steep the drive is too well, but suffice to say, the video did show how small the deer were compared to where you were at the bottom and the way the tipper struggled..... I would aay it is a steep gradient 😮
    Your 160 made short work of the stumps. The right attachment made it look easy 💪💪💪

    Is it some code or something to use that stone on the road? Why not use a RR ballast, or quarry rock 3 to 6 to build road within 6 in of final grade. Trucks don’t spin out and you don’t have a ton of repairs after construction deliveries.
