That tree came down safety and lot faster then anyone with a chainsaw could remove the whole thing. Don't hate on someone who could afford a excavator.
I cant believe these tree hugging greenies!! Cant they see the hillside in the distance that is covered in trees? We farmers bust our guts to feed them and do our best to not go broke and all they want is lock everything up for the trees and wildlife. I mean seriously, where do they think food comes from!! Cheers from Tasmania mate, great videos.
as a 19 year old, I absolutely agree with you on that. My peers are arguably the most naive, idealistic, self righteous know-it-alls, sitting in the uni library sipping skim-milk decaf chai lattes, gossiping about the latest posts on the mac forum, thinking they're so much better than everyone else, and it ticks me off to no end. end of rant.
when i was a boy, we had this tree in front of our house...i always hate it when i wake up in the morning because it was so cold...but after they cut the tree, it was a bit hot in the morning and it gets worse at noon...i miss those random birds in the morning and those bats flying around the tree in the evening -__- and damn, i realized that a single tree can really make a big difference
People are unreal. Farmers are unreal. Aussie's are unreal.......and let's not forget the engineers and scientists that give us these unreal toys to play with.
"in other news, local kookaburras were upset when a popular gum tree was removed by the land owner. they now can no longer eat all the gumdrops they can see. many found this to be no laughing matter, adding a grievance in their once gay life"
Hi johndeere1993 Yer were really happy with the lateral, a lot more even watering and a hell of a lot easier than moving pipes. Were on river water, so we've got 50% allocation and carryover this year. To feed the lateral we have an under ground main line that runs up the center of the place and then the laterals hose drag, 200m of 5" lay flat hose with 2 moves in the run. Then at the end of the run it can pivot and walk down the other side of the place. I'll post a video of it soon.
Did anyone notice how that tree like... shattered apart once it hit the ground? It's like it was dead and yet living at the same time. Wierd! (I don't know nuttin about gum trees). The thing looked like it was in serious distress, as in diseased. Good video of a demo.
Tree was pretty dead anyway. Nice work on the removal :-) People be all like "oh you murdered a tree" Farmer's gotta have room to plant crops and run stock to "murder" to feed us all!!! Thankyou Mr Farmer for your endless work on the land you love to produce food for my family to eat.
Of course it was dead, if you knew as much as you think, you´d have noticed the tree was burnt. And intensive agriculture is good for whom? Because most people in the world are starving. While the rest die because of being overfed and shit food. So don´t talk like you know, i´m sure you live away from nature and have never collected fruits or planted seeds
79pejeperro That is fucking funny, the tree was dead because it was burnt. I suggest you don't understand Australian native hardwoods, that tree was alive and well. These trees a are built to bounce back from fire. Did you watch all of the video? All that green shit at the top?
Its ironic that people are commenting about leaving a tree alone, while sitting in their houses made of wood, in an area once covered with tree's! hahahaha
***** Firstly I'm not a kid, secondly if you cant see the irony in those contradictory comments then you're "obviously the "kid". I'm clearly stating that the lone dead tree in a paddock isn't exactly environmental suicide . The coal used to power your computer to reply is in itself more destructive to the environment then that tree being removed.. Grow a brain dopey! Kind regards
@WumseBiene Well removing this one tree meant we could put the lateral irrigator in which means we are using 50% less water to irrigate now. So you chose 1 Tree or 125,000,000 Liters of Water
Thanks for your comment. The burn marks around the base was because there was old fencing wire around the bottom of the tree in the grass and weeds, so we burnt around the bottom to be able to get the wire out of the way. Thats interesting how you say they are a problem in South Africa, I guess anything that isn't native can cause problems, we removed this one because it was in the way of the irrigator we were putting in.
Hay expert arbourist these trees are suposed to have rotten bits these make the hollows that the native animals live in. I dont no what type of world you want for your children but one where they can breath and see natures beauty sounds pretty good to me.
@darensmiles4 The burning around the bottom wasn't for the roots just all the weeds and junk that had grown around the bottom of the tree. Usually gum tree roots are bl##dy strong, they are kind of grow like a big tap root, but the excavator driver was amazed how easy this one was to get out.
No they don't have a tap root. They spread out just below the surface like your video showed. I understand it is sometime necessary to remove trees. Maybe you could plant a sapling nearby? We really need more trees on our farms rather than endless clearing.
@goodcat1982 Actually no, that looks like farming ground to me. It's so much quicker to dig the tree out and let it fall then to cut it then dig it out. Because the weight of the tree helps pull it out. As you can see they have tried burning it out.
The thing is, ironically farmers clear trees for crops yet the trees keep the soil fertile. Always good to have a couple of trees in the paddock. Usually farmers fuck the soil if they don't rotate paddocks through seasons.
The tree is still there for animals to nest in if they want it was pulled over into the grass with the other trees around the dam and left there. If you gave farmers the option that if they removed a tree they had to plant 5 or 10 to replace it most would be happy to comply but as laws are it's just banned and to get approval takes upwards of 4 or 5 years so most don't comply and take the risk of getting fined or jail time but also don't do anything to replace trees they remove.
It amazes me how many people think I tried to burn the tree down to start with and failed lol the burning around the bottom was to get old fencing wire out of the grass that was around the tree.
People who criticized the farmer for doing his work should learn to read the description. Don't be so quick to judge, especially if you are not well versed on the issue. He had to remove tree to put in new irrigation system. There are lots of jobs to be done on a working farm, and you don't do things if it's not necessary. Removing a big tree is not easy work. Plus those big old gum trees are hazardous. They topple or shed their large branches quite easily in strong winds or storms. Happens quite regularly and a big one could take out upwards of 10 cars if it happens to be next to a carpark.
shyam ranjith Yeah, I second that. A lot of these politically- correct goodie 2shoes doesn't seem to stop and think where their foods is coming from. I'm pretty certain most doesn't grow their owns- heck most would probably doesn't even know how to
I dont understand why people think it is a good idea to leave a tree up that just crumbles when taken down. Its just a hazard and will fall eventually anyway
a chainsaw dosent take out the stump, this way takes the tree and the stump out at the same time, people think they have the simplest solution, the person in the video DID know what they were doing. farmers do not like stumps in their fields.
Probably could have with this one because it was half rotten but normally the whole trunk goes straight down into the ground 15 or 20 feet deep and they have got to dig right down the side of the trunk to get them out.
why did you burn the base/roots of the tree? and use a ripper like that to loosen them up... risk having the tree fall on your equipment... are gum tree's amazingly strong or something? I've always just dug out one side of the roots with the bucket to loosen it up then shove it over.
is that pretty typical for a gum tree to have NO taproot? The excavator ripped a few roots but basically when the thing fell over, there was nothing more than a few feet long.
Peoples eating junk food or food in plastic boxes forgot it. That's normal. Don't blame the peoples ,blame the big private corporations giving bad habits to little kids since 50 years. Unless you have your own farm,you buy what those industrials give to you,so yes the food come from the supermarket. And don't forget they give YOU money for what THEY want you to produce. If they have meat or cereals cheaper abroad they forget you. I guess you have some GNVT financial help.
this reminds me of a Giraffe in the Serengeti, eating leaves, but was too fat or strong so it pushed the tree down and the smaller giraffes came and got the leaves well the main giraffe gets nothing...
As incredible is that machine is and will always be, it is nothing without the operator. But, the operator can be everything without the machine everywhere he goes.
@goodcat1982 With a chainsaw, you would have been left with a stump in the ground. It would have taken an experienced crew of 2 guys a full day, or a crew of 3 a half day. The way this excavator knocks it over and drags it away, reduces massive time and effort, simply from an armchair. Way to go farmer.
I've seen these machines digging in the ground, water, houses and in vehicles, but this must be the first time for me to see it digging in a tree!
Ah, love to spend my time on UA-cam!
Nothing beats watching car crashes, bug fights and excavator removing gum tree video's.
That tree came down safety and lot faster then anyone with a chainsaw could remove the whole thing. Don't hate on someone who could afford a excavator.
I cant believe these tree hugging greenies!! Cant they see the hillside in the distance that is covered in trees? We farmers bust our guts to feed them and do our best to not go broke and all they want is lock everything up for the trees and wildlife. I mean seriously, where do they think food comes from!!
Cheers from Tasmania mate, great videos.
I would have never imagined so many haters trolling because a farmer demolished an old rotted tree.
as a 19 year old, I absolutely agree with you on that. My peers are arguably the most naive, idealistic, self righteous know-it-alls, sitting in the uni library sipping skim-milk decaf chai lattes, gossiping about the latest posts on the mac forum, thinking they're so much better than everyone else, and it ticks me off to no end.
end of rant.
A gum tree is actually one of the hardest trees to fell with a machine. Removing a stump of one is a job.
when i was a boy, we had this tree in front of our house...i always hate it when i wake up in the morning because it was so cold...but after they cut the tree, it was a bit hot in the morning and it gets worse at noon...i miss those random birds in the morning and those bats flying around the tree in the evening -__- and damn, i realized that a single tree can really make a big difference
@
Not trying to sound like an expert or anything, but I have never saw someone take that long to knock over a tree.
Don't hate the stump!! Just love it!
People are unreal. Farmers are unreal. Aussie's are unreal.......and let's not forget the engineers and scientists that give us these unreal toys to play with.
لماذا لاأرى العرب والمتدنيين وليس المتدينين لايعلقون على هذا العلم الجميل ولاكنهم مثل الخفافيش يعشقون الظلام و الدماء
One day your grandkids are going to ask you what a kookaburra looks like. Because if they keep cutting down the trees we wont have any.
it's always sad seeing a tree being cut down
I think the operator did a very good job.
How the fuck did I end up looking at the videos on a thursday night at 2am when I'm working at 8am. Am I crazy?
somehow reminds me of the way a parrot conducts itself.
look at the bright side, at least the farmer will have plenty of fire wood to keep warm the next few winters :)
digger operator = surgeon, nice work
"in other news, local kookaburras were upset when a popular gum tree was removed by the land owner. they now can no longer eat all the gumdrops they can see. many found this to be no laughing matter, adding a grievance in their once gay life"
Makes me want to be a farmer, been sitting behind a desk too many years now ....
they should make a chain saw attachment for excavators that goes on the arm it would be cool

These machines are worth their weight in gold.

Impressive how easy it was for the excavator.
So that's where gum comes from!
looks like its in the middle of a field, a lb of blackpowder + a hole drilled inside would take care of that :)
Very cool, clean field left behind :)
Give me a home among the gum trees....
that three looks so dry... it just falls apart when it hits the ground... it looks good though :D
Tree was pretty dead anyway. Nice work on the removal :-)

you can always tell when farmers have there own machines like us by the rough and jerky operators

@ausfarmer89 tough decision. how many gallons does that come out to be. this could change my opinion

Some of you people say the tree is dead. DEAD TREES DO NOT HAVE GREEN LEAFS, so this problem is solved
Was the tree milled? Gum is such a beautiful wood.
It's the CLAW! Nothing can stop the CLAW!
@goodcat1982 this one would be great if the tree has been preserved and transplanted somwhere else to live again
People who criticized the farmer for doing his work should learn to read the
description. Don't be so quick to judge, especially if you are not well versed on
the issue.
He had to remove tree to put in new irrigation system.
There are lots of jobs to be done on a working farm, and you don't do things if it's
not necessary.
Removing a big tree is not easy work. Plus those big old gum trees are hazardous.
They topple or shed their large branches quite easily in strong winds or storms.
Happens quite regularly and a big one could take out upwards of 10 cars if it happens to be next to a carpark.
now days its habit of intellectual to find fault in everything and cry as animal right and environment even not realizing exact point...
shyam ranjith
Yeah, I second that.
A lot of these politically- correct goodie 2shoes doesn't seem to stop and think where their foods is coming from.
I'm pretty certain most doesn't grow their owns- heck most would probably doesn't even know how to
and the tree looks half dead or diseased

@photoshopchannel its not about the 12ft sq of crop. its that its in the way of a center pivot irrigatoin system. look at the title
Probably could have with this one because it was half rotten but normally the whole trunk goes straight down into the ground 15 or 20 feet deep and they have got to dig right down the side of the trunk to get them out.

Of course, cutting the tree and burning the stump is the cheapest solution, but there might be laws against that.
-Source Small Farm Owner
good thing about gum trees, their root system, does make them weak though.
and thats why you never park ya car under em
with that little excavator ?... i really doubt it
You mean to tell me that tree produces Juicy Fruit gum..? It's no wonder they wanted to cut it down. Can't stand Juicy Fruit myself..!
In this particular instance, he is referring to the original use of the word gay, as in happy, it's called reading from context, you should try it.
is that pretty typical for a gum tree to have NO taproot? The excavator ripped a few roots but basically when the thing fell over, there was nothing more than a few feet long.
2 sticks of dynamite would have saved you the rental of that excavator and you would have had firewood all winter long haha
IF IT WAS IN THE AMAZON EVERYBODY WOULD BE GOING BOKERS!!!

Yeah, Right ON!! Oh, by the way, what is this tree going to be made into?
Cool. But a chainsaw would have saved you a lot of fuel
this reminds me of a Giraffe in the Serengeti, eating leaves, but was too fat or strong so it pushed the tree down and the smaller giraffes came and got the leaves well the main giraffe gets nothing...
25 people must be townies, and dont care where food comes from!
THE CLAWWWWWW!!!
Use a ripper or a stumper to clear stumps and trees is the best way to good
Now how'd yall get all that wood outta the lake or did you leave it there?
looks like a sycamore to me
Look out it's "The CLAW"!!
The killer kawowski?
some how ..good idea to live in a timber house !!!
So gentle..
nooo think about how many birds had their homes inside that tree...
got some old stuff stick it on (gum tree)
As incredible is that machine is and will always be, it is nothing without the operator. But, the operator can be everything without the machine everywhere he goes.
bags not splitting that up :)
after you cut it down use the bucket to get it out think a little people
job well done
Now where is the Kuckaburra supposed to sit?
