    Drll 1/8th in hole in bottom side of 5 gal bucket. Fill bucket with water and let it slowly run out around the tree. Works very well here in kansas. Timming some of the small branches will help the tree not have to work so hard while it rebuilds roots.

    Good job! What I am going to mention to you is a “trick” I use to speed up the tree growth due to allowing the water to get deeper into the soil. Before putting the root ball into the ground, I would dig a little deeper and place drainage pipe / sewer leech line pipe into the soil standing vertically. Instead of water easily getting down into the root zone quickly you can double the water penetration allowing and encouraging root growth down deeper. Just a thought I know it works great in my area of the country.

    I have 6 acres and the previous owner had it cleared like a wooded park. I have huge trees but it's like a park. I decided to let a large portion go back to woods and I also planted a lot of small seedling pines. I'm a full year into this process. From my experience, it takes pines about 3 to 4 years to grow tall enough to block the sight line from a road. We have only neighbors ride by but I swear the know everything I do. I had one call me and ask me if I needed help getting a tree off my fence. It was so far in the back, I don't know how he could see it. Everytime I put in something new in the gardens, they come by to talk about it. I can't wait till these trees to grow up so they can't see everytime I sneeze. I know exactly how you feels.

    Something I found valuable is to fill the hole with water first and give it some time to moisten the adjunct ground below where you are going to plant. I always plant tree/shrub level to the ground, when I pour the second bucket of water I mix the right amount of liquid fertilizer so the tree/shrub has something to utilize as it begins to send out new capillary roots. Mulching helps keep roots cool in the summer and warm in the winter. Hope this is a help.

    I have a BX24D, and the first thing I did when I saw the new BX23S with quick attach on loader, is getting myself the quick attach from a BX23S and install it on mine, fits like a glove. But I see 2 issues on your video, 1st, when you transplant a tree, you always make the hole twice the size of the roots, and you absolutely flood the hole to the rim, then you put your new tree in, and put back the dirt slowly not to make the water flow out, this "trick" was explained to me by an old tree farmer arboriculturist, since then I never lost a transplant! Second, you should have bought a BX model with the backhoe, you can transplant way bigger trees, the backhoe is a formidable tool, amazing all you can do with it! But you are absolutely right about the SSQA quick attach, the amount of attachments available is amazing and way much cheaper!!! Update, I forgot to say I bought an SSQA adaptor plate to weld on my bucket for $80, just welded it on, did not need to order a new bucket!

    Thanks for the video. Lots of good suggestions in the comments section. I'm not sure if it's been mentioned but in the midwest something that is sometimes done is Root Pruning a season before transplanting. You cut around he tree in the soil just outside of the drip line, this encourages a better more compact root system. Making sure that the trees get extra water after the Root Pruning. Then the following year when you transplant the trees you will have increased success and less stress. And as mentioned in the comments thinning the canopy will also encourage better success.

  • @travisbenson9127

    Great idea transplanting the trees. My parents would do that the hard way by driving out close to the mountains were no one was around and using shovels to slowly dig them up, obviously not as big as you were doing but when they replant then they would tamp a lot of soil around them and just leave the garden hose run on them giving them tons of water for a long time and then the next day re-tamp the soil again and adding pmore soil and water again. Those exposed roots really needed to recover from being torn up out of the ground.
    Good luck with getting the trees to reclaim your privacy :)

  • @kathmandu1575
    @kathmandu1575 2 роки тому +24

    I'm no expert - but you might want to cut about 25% of the tree back after transplanting. It's a bit counter-intuitive to cut back the branches and foliage, but the reasoning is that the roots were severely damaged by the transplanting, and the tree will die if it still has the same amount of foliage to support on those damaged roots. Over the long run, you will have a greater chance of the tree surviving, and also growing faster. Good Luck!

      good advice ... and watch it to see if it is "wilty" then maybe cut off more. I was going to suggest this as well, but I was going to say 50% ... And just drowning it with more water won't help, it also needs some air with the roots, drowning it can also kill it. Some smaller transplants, they would cut off almost all the top growth and leave a half leaf. But the "learning curve" is the fun of it. I enjoy your sense of adventure.

    If you can weld and cut you can convert your pin on bucket to SSQA. I did one several years ago when I had a Kubota. The SSQA plate to weld on the bucket was about $125. It took me some time to get the "ears" off of the bucket, but it was easy to weld on the plate to the cleaned bucket then. You will need a welder (mine was a stick welder), the SSQA bracket to weld on the bucket, and a bunch of slitting wheels for your angle grinder. Or if you are good with a cutting torch, that could work too. My next tractor, I was a bit smarter and got a Kioti with SSQA equipped from the factory.. :) James

I was after my dealer for two years before he found me one and because of the time wait he threw in the quick attach bucket for nothing because it came off a 2021 BX that had been recovered for non payment so I finally have what I want.

    When using neodymium magnets to pick up metal, put the magnet in a plastic bag, that way you don't have all the fine pieces of metal stuck to the magnet, you can just take it out of the bag.

    Why didn’t the dealer try and sell the quick attachment while you were shopping? It’s one of those must haves. I bet there are some dealers that automatically put them on. I’m going shopping soon and I’ll find out then. Quick latch front and back. You do need the right tool and extra parts do accomplish the job.

    So Ive been seeing an earth berm they can get as high as fences... not sure if you would want to dig out a pool and just turn your earth from that into squash or three sisters raised bed squash mounds pumpkin mounds etc.. to grow some food out front but it might be a use for your acreage that is both an obstruction but would just look like a garden to people passing by. Not sure if you are into homesteading or sustainable living but if you have a tractor you could maximize that quite a bit.. people will pay attention less to something that seems natural rather than an interntional obstruction.

So from this point forward....just tell your wife the cedar tree is temporary and you're just growing a nice post for the mailbox or a threshold beam for the barn. Those cedars make nice threshold beams...keeping the rain and mud out.

    Uhhh, (@4:21) you do realize (granted, there ARE exceptions), that the usual way to take one of those strap/bands off is to grab the underside (you can see it at the top of the device that is strapped to the pallet) and pull on it, which usually tears off, and the band just pops off where it is heat-sealed to make the band work. Even for fairly tight bands, if you just twist the part where it is, and pull on that loose underside piece, it will pop right off. No need to cut with a knife. (Again, there are exceptions where that does not work but they are unusual)

    If you're ever working with those spring clips again without the tool the easiest way to get them off is use a 90 degree angled pick. Slide it behind one side and through the hole and it won't be able to fall out. Then just slide your flathead behind the ring and around. I've gone through a few sets of the Harbor Freight Pittsburg picks but at two bucks who would care?
