90% of our trees are pines so we don’t get much firewood and the cleanup is huge with tons of sticks. The Rake is the ticket! I just wish I had a grapple to pick up the pile I’ve created. It’s hard to pick up with the bucket. But that excavator is really the ticket!!!!

Lookin Good with the scrubby pines Removed!!👍👊

Mike, this is a great idea that you have given me. Last fall I had about 10 acres done with a forest mulcher. I could not clean it because the amount of rain we had. This summer I plan to rent a professional mulcher and get the smaller pieces and have it returned back to the land. I have been debating about the landscape rake but my neighbor has told me it is a bad idea.

You handle that bucket & thumb like a pro!

This is one of the best videos I have seen for the average person to clear some land quickly. Thanks for posting it.

My problem with dayz like that i just puddle around not getin much done cause all the wet dayz got me down! Just nice to enjoy a dry wind free, H2o free day!!

[ruralmailman]

thats a lot of maple syrup wood there.personally i would love to have the chance to get ahold of that stuff for my evaporator.it burns incredibly hot, and works great for that.the improvement in appearance of that area is amazing.

[craigsudman]

I sure do like the way you handle the machines.  Really smooth.  I've seen guys operate machines and I can't figure out how that poor machine keeps running.  Nicely done as always Mike keep it up.

[edwardkenny]

Very gratifying it must be to be able to get so much done in so little time. Right tool for the job makes all the difference. Thanks for taking us along.

Hi Mike … Here in OZ we call it Track Rolling... Then leave it 1" above ground level to let it settle..

[jc-botaman]

The fast motion video is cool. Ashamed we can't work that fast in real time. The yard is looking better already, nice job. You gotta take some video of that fire when you burn. Have a day!

Please show a video of the cleanup with the landscape rake. I feel like that will be satisfying to watch!

Hi Mike & Melissa. Just from the video can't tell ( fir, cedar, spruce, cypress) apart. While all are a knotty pine's, and mill-up quite nicely. On a Wood-Mizer LT15 or 35. I have a poll barn workstation 40'+W x 32'+L. Central Georgia can get up to + 90 F with 90 pct humidity. Its always good to have friends with a Wood-Mizer. To end: I hope to see you someday with a under roof workstation.

[rodfair]

As always, a pleasure to watch!
You need an industrial tow behind chipper, if they make such a thing, like a huge mulching mower!
Thanks for making the videos Mike

Speeding up the video makes that Bobcat look like a ballerina in the "Dance of the Sugarplum Fairy" and you like a "Smooth Operator". Don't you wish it was like that in real time/life.

[darryl]

BTW, your pretty darn good at running that thing. 👍

[gastoncannon]

It is amazing to sit here in Georgia and watch you running that bobcat a 1000 miles away, things have sure changed in the last 75 years. We didn’t have a tractor, or a car, or electricity. Don’t know how we made it. 😏. You are doing a fabulous job; better watch out your taxes might go up, haha. Thanks for taking time to share with us, I know it take time to set up the camera without running over them. 👏👏👏👏. 🏆

[robertrogish]

You videos are the first ones I look at on any given day !!

[JohnWhite-sixc]

Mike nice job that will come out fine we are going to do a 65 ace job starting later this week like that for a parking lot at a store

[richardbartholomew]

Another good video....action packed in fast motion. The yard is looking great. 👍👍
