It looks so much better ! Great job ! I LOVE YOU TWO !!!!!!!!! 🥰 🥰
That grapple is a great asset as is the wood chipper. Takes longer but no mess left behind. Looks like Murphys law was alive and doing well. After you’re finished it looks a lot cleaner. You and Rebecca make a great team, both hard workers and not afraid of hard work. I can relate to smashing fingers and pinching them. After all that work you need to kick back and have an adult beverage or two around the fire. Cheers
I keep waiting for you to repair the wood shed.
Nice job,great video!👍🏻
you guys are doing great!
Nothing more satisfying in seeing the progress of your work. You have a lot on your plate, but you address it all a bit at a time. Thank you from an old man, who has gotten to be pretty good at watching other people work, and living vicariously through your adventures. God bless. Russ from Phoenix.
Have a great day love your content and be safe.
that's what I like about you, no matter what happens you don't give up. good job.
Looking great! Keep up the hard work and honest videos!
Hi, Evan! I could watch you cut trees all day. It’s hard work, but makes a big change.
Good video, have a great day!😊
I hope you will move the mulch away from the lower trunk or you could have problems with rotting bark. Great idea to take the limbs to the mulcher. Yes, it added to today's work but it means you have it all cleaned up and put where you want it.
I would say you are making tremendous progress. The place looks so much better with each project! I do agree that keeping the chipper near the work area is a better solution. Lots easier to move wood chips with the bucket than it is to drag the work to the chipper! Experience is the best teacher. Stay safe and God Bless.
It is coming along nicely. I can see a lot of difference from when you started. It looks so open now.
As always ,,,great video,,,,Wishing you both the best of Irish luck,,,👍👍☘️☘️☘️✌️
Looking good Even.
Evan your doing a great job on the fencing, yes it takes time but you will get it done, stay safe.
Your right short cuts rarely work
Evan, I've read that you don't let the shaving come in contact with base of tree that you leave a two inch gap to prevent moisture from building up at the base of tree and causing the tree to possibly rot!
Great job looking great love your videos thank you
Great job, everything tidy and neat!
Two jobs done for the price of one and kept safe. God is good
You do a good job on your farm Evan
GREAT JOB !!
I like how you take care of your equipment and tools. Especially your TYM tractor and your AC restoration.
I've been meaning to ask about the orchard. It seems like it's been a while since we've seen it. The trees are looking amazing! Curious how you expect the harvest to be this season. Looking very nice around the homestead. You guys have been busting your tails for several years now and it's really come a very long way. God bless.
A job well done Evan.
Nice to have such great weather to do all of this work.(In February!).
When you have the right tools and equipment jobs are sometimes fun. Sure is fun to watch
Thank you for wearing protective tree felling chaps & head gear. Professional arborists wear them & there's a lot of Darwin candidates on YT who don't wear safety gear...I watched one guy in shorts trip over several trees he cut down with the chainsaw still running...I enjoy your channel & the animals & you both. I think Rebecca is an animal whisperer....😊
You're making a lot of progress.
Happy Valentines Day, Evan n Rebecca 💙
We actually just had that problem today! We used an angle grinder to cut the t-post off under the ground. Just dig down 8-10” if possible and whack it off. Great task for the Eco-Flo!
One day you'll say I wishI'd listened about wearing safety glasses.
Your many talents with tools and troubleshooting mechanical problems on the homestead and equipment beats yardwork by leaps and bounds imo
You can chip into the dump trailer you got and go and pull down in between the trees and shovel it off
Thanks Evan and Rebecca for the great video , you two are getting that fence row cleaned up good. You all stay safe and keep up the great videos around there. Fred.
Another wonderful video, job well done. Stay safe.
good luck on getting the fencing done another great video
I can’t tell for sure in the video, but it looks like those chips are right up against the trunks, which isn’t healthy. I found videos on protecting “tree flares” very helpful in keeping my trees healthy. The driveway is looking really nice all cleaned up 👍
Another Great Video, looking good
I hear that Robin, sure sign of Spring!
Evan, add this Hydraulic Adjustable Variable Flow Control Valve, 0-30 GPM, 3/4″ NPT to the feeder drive motor so you can control the feed rate. The later production models use this exact control.
No, this is mechanical- belt driven. No hydraulics on this model.
I was told once that fresh cut chips around trees will give them a fungus. Just a thought. You guys are my favorite channel.
They also can “burn” the trees when the compost
Looking good. New fence will be coming soon. Blessings
I don’t think there is a problem with fungus or burning the tree. However, as the fresh wood chips degrade there is a possibility that the process may take nutrients away from the tree. Enjoyed the video.
My experience with chippers is that they work best on straight logs with side branches removed. Removing the side limbs takes more time.
Glad u r using safety equp. lots of work but it will b beautiful
Evan. That tree looked to be mulberry. Supposedly, when it dries out, it rivals oak for BTU but sparks a lot.
Also smells good.
Nice work. Keep it up!
👏🏻 Good job
Looks really good! Thanks !
👍👍👍👍👍👌Nice clean up working towards your goal!!
Mate, you’re as accident prone as I am. 😂
Great video. FYI some of the vines appeared to be poison ivy. You can catch it in the winter
Hope you are ok
I keep watching what you can do with those TYM tractors and I'm impressed. I have a Mahindra 4510 and it won't hold a candle to yours. I think it's trade in time.
Good job done.keep safe.
Hi Evan, you have two nice tractors, (I have a TYM 433), use the grapple to grip the tree to keep the tree from rolling when you are cutting it up. Also, grapples will hold it and position it to process it completly. Like the wood chipper! Love the channel.
You are so entertaining young man in how life is for you 😀
Good work! I believe you two will meet your goals for that project!
Great job! Try new things, see what works. No effort is wasted if you learn from it. :)
Mulching with green wood chips:
Both good and bad.
Good: You will achieve keeping grass and weeds from growing around trees.
It will help hold moisture in soil.
Bad:
The bacteria and fungi that break down wood are tremendous nitrogen users.
Once the wood mulch has broken down, the high populations of bacteria and fungi will go down into the soil and deplete the nitrogen in the soil.
Wood chips should be composted for at least a year before being used as mulch.
Please watch for signs of nitrogen deficiency in your fruit trees and fertilize them.
You need to bring out the new sthil 25 in bar for that tree yr cutting !
I wish my fences would grow themselves
Great job
Great video! Maybe the compost spreader will work for the wood chip, as least as a wagon. I am a little concern about the mulching at the base of your fruit trees. Try a look up of the term :mulch volcano" and you may see my concern.
We were really looking forward to meeting you in Louisville this weekend, but family has changed our plans!
Those mulberry trees are a pain to cut with all the limbs, a lot like the black jack, another limb laden tree. My wife and I always talked about getting a chipper, but never did, I like yours. Good job on cleanup, thanks for sharing, have a great day!
Sir I seen a neat set up to where a guy pulled his trailer behind his chipper with a off set when he was for the trailer not to be in the way it was a neat set up I don’t remember if the trailer had a manual dump or not.
Possibly use the tractor with the grapple to move the limbs next time? What a great idea just to chip at the trees! Gave my husband and I a way to eliminate one step🥰
Fresh wood chips will change the ph of the soil around your trees. Check with a local nursery
Could have done all the chips into one pile, then use the bucket on the front of the tractor to put around the apple trees,
personally would have made fire wood 🪓🪵 down to 2 inches then Chip the brush
What do the wood chips do around the fruit tree 🌲
Chipper not the problem. That chipper definitely needs the larger tractor!!! Stay safe and God bless you all!!!! Eddy
I watched a tiktok today where a farmer put old tires in strips from pole to pole instead of wire for fencing. I thought that was a great idea, since rubber stays for a long time.
I didn't know wire grew 😂😂
If you didn't try you wouldn't know. We have the hydraulic version of your chipper and the speed control is not very variable, either it is too slow or too fast and once we found a sweet spot we haven't changed it since. What is nice is to be able to flick a lever to stop or reverse the infeed rollers when chipping big stuff to let the engine rev back up.
Not a bad plan, but letting the chips compost or at least dry out first might be beneficial. I'm not sure this shows the limitations of tge chipper or the tractor, especially since the chipper has none of these problems when behind the bigger tractor. This might be a good job for one of the older tractors?
When are you going to repair that wood shed? It think the old one should come down and be replaced, Just my opinion.
Evan, please don't use the chainsaw above your head! 😲
When there's a kickback you can't control it anymore
and the saw ends up somewhere else, in the worst case inside your
head. 🤕
It's much safer to get the whole tree down and then saw into pieces.
Even if something breaks or gets damaged: It's better than end up in a hospital... 🚑
Thanks a lot for the video! 😊👍🏻
I think I remember you saying you had a couple small walnut trees to cut as well, and I was curious if you can mulch those as well or if it's not good to do since they are known for having a chemical that can be toxic to other plants/trees? Thanks.
Some days your the windshield some days your the bug I guess today the windshield won.
Why don't you keep the large limbs for firewood..
💖💖💖💖💖💖
Can u give a update on your chestnut trees come spring/summer
An update
Wood chips cannot contact trunk of tree or it will kill the tree (don't ask me how I know). Also, decomposing chips rob the soil of nitrogen, so some manure mixed in away from the trunk might be helpful. Otherwise, looks great.
I noticed this a few videos ago and am wondering if your going to separate the big pasture into 2 for rotational grazing? In may take a bit more work but would definitely be doable
Just an idea I thought I’d pass along
When will you work on the Allis Chalmers Again?
I really enjoy your videos! I have the same 2515 tractor, what is the brand and size of your wood chipper?
Thank you in advance.
👏👏
I really like your videos and u see what you were doing with the chips but it looked like you were moving away from the chipper to each tree making it a longer distance to drag the brush maybe just try to chip into a pile and then use the tractor
Why would you want to run a 5 5o 8 inch limbs through the chipper? 5 - 8 is ideal for fireplace burning. It's labor-free too. No splitting required. All you have to do is buck it and stack it.
use the bigger tractor with the chipper/grapple combo. Less. dragging
use tractor to hold off ground while cutting stove length pieces
When u have a tree like the u had try me asking an under cut then cut from the top. Just a thought
👍
I have been told green saw dust is not good for putting around trees
Good Jooooob!
How do you keep deer out of your orchard?
Shoulda known right away when that tree filled your shirt with sawdust that it had it was going to give you a bad time!
I figured that you might need to use the tractor.
