Mike, you are the ultimate kid playing in the sandbox. Love your show.

[petenelson]

Nice chairs. As a hobby woodworker myself, it's apparent the attention to detail. At first glance I wondered about the screws however you mentioned they are stainless, I like the look he really took the time to space them all exactly. Also very impressed that he stayed off the video and that he gives these away as gifts or for charity, what a noble and caring thing to do, my hat's off to him. Love your channel.

I just purchased a Vermeer mini skid and I could not be happier. For what I need it for it was the absolute perfect choice!

[kearnsey]

Very intuitive on skid steer versus tractor! This will help people with purchasing no doubt!

That blower has to be the greatest attachment you have, but the way you’re using it shows.
A quick note on your personal views. I appreciate your candidness and presentation and was moved by it. All I’ll I agree with you whole heartedly. Thank you. I am anew subscriber and enjoy the format a lot. You put a lot of thought into it.

I remember the first mini skid I saw was the Toro Dingo. The landscapers loved them right off the bat.

Love the chairs, what a gift! So many good people on this planet.

Love that blower on the road to the clearing. Be interesting to see your experience with the mini skid in the winter. Standing on it in the cold will not be optimal. Should be tolerable for short periods in the wood yard, though. Excellent chairs. Chris is a talented man!

What a GREAT edition of your popular video series. Loved your equipment comments and those two donated "Adirondack" style chairs are spectacular !! Great craftsmanship !!

[ralphjelomono]

Thanks for the mini skid and tractor comparison. I ever realized the capabilities of the mini skid machines.

[budcanter]

That leaf blower attachment is the coolest thing you’ve got, it really does the job!👍👍🇺🇸

MIke, as a current member of the "stiff neck tractor club" I just went on amazon and bought a 180 degree view review mirror for my tractor. it helps with the turning around. once you get it adjusted correctly, i would think you could gannon, land plane, bush hog, and blow leaves without turning around at all. it cost me less than $20

[johnshort]

Very nice chairs from a very generous and talented woodworker.

Plus one thousand for Chris..He makes America Great!

Mike, as I have gotten older, I have found that sometimes it is a good idea to sit down. I understand that the Mini Skid can be more effective in many situations, but the tractor allows one to sit down and take things a somewhat slower pace. I know that sounds somewhat old school, but age has a way of catching up with a person. For me, I think I would have to go with the tractor, but I understand your mantra for efficiency.

Last video was absolutely spot on Mike!! Hope you have firestarter soon don't need the bundle just a starter.
