too bad you don't have a offset smoker you could use the oak, red oak, and maple for smoking.
oh...I'm building one soon brother! You'll love it!
Awesome can’t wait and see it!
@@StoneyRidgeFarmer with me running a welder repair shop . I few years ago I built a 20” with a 20” fire box . And 2 trailer pits . Come to find out about getting a even cooking area put the smokestack right below the cooking area . This way close to the smokestack you won’t have a cold spot in the pit .
It is great when people are so obedient to the government. It makes their demands so much easier.
Personally as an old equipment operator, you have a great machine here. I tend to lean on the CAT side of excavators but John Deere is right there. I always loved the CAT 320. Very good all round machine. Here is a tip you must learn. Use your finger tips to control the sticks. Never get a full hand of grip on the sticks. You will have much more control especially when fine tuning or in tight places.
A friend of mine tried running my 3000lb mini ex and he held the controls with a death grip. Told him the same as you suggest and he was amazed at the difference. I'm thinking he will be better with his backhoe controls as well.
@@normhowes2975 Experience is the teacher for sure.
Good afternoon Josh I’m so jealous that looks like so much fun lol!
heck yeah...it was fun!
Another fantastic video from Josh. I can not wait for the next 2 installments. Remember, if you ate beef today, thank a farmer. Thank you Josh Stoney Ridge Farmer
Yes, thank you, Josh
Looking awesome Josh. Wide open space. Man of many talents
thanks Larry! Getting it done buddy!
The only thing wrong there is the nut loose behind the controls!🤣 I couldn't do any better!
I noticed real quick you was get better running it as yon going along . I been a backhoe operator for many years . I’m retired and doing my own thing now. Picking up. Trees like that is like picking up straws. It teaches you real quick. How to operate the machine .
I got to hand it to you. You are not reticent about taking on new ventures/machine operation! You did a fine job! Best wishes.
just gotta jump in and try things....that's about all there is to it
Josh that thumb can pickup 3 large trees easily. Be efficient with your movement as fuel consumption is huge track8ng back and forth.
Looks like that machine is set up with a SAE control pattern (backhoe controls). I would recommend changing it over to the ISO control pattern.There should be a lever somewhere, most likely under the seat to change the control pattern. Most full time excavator guys run ISO, I found it to be much more intuitive when I was learning. Whichever pattern you learn on will most likely be the one you prefer going forward. Give it a try, you might find you prefer the ISO controls. I sure did, seemed to make way more sense to my brain for some reason. Just feels more natural.
When digging... curl the bucket. Use its geometry for more leverage.
It is fun to watch!
You just graded that area behind the shop. Always work to be done. Carter Cat is out of Virginia
WOW ! That’s a job ! Looks like u know how to work those big monster machines pretty dog gone good !! 👍🏼👊🏻
Great job Josh! looks like fun!!
The arm is called the boom you don't swing the arm you swing the house . Good luck you can do it
ok buddy thanks...good to know the terminology for sure
LOL! It's like a tank- with a claw! 💪
Huge job there Josh. Its looking really good, big difference! That excavator is a beast! Woooo!
Thanks so much Doug!
Finally signed up for your UA-cam page . Josh.
awesome...you'll see a little newer content gets dropped over here first sometimes
@@StoneyRidgeFarmer cool . Josh . Keep them videos coming love the content . I’m looking to getting into more of this my self . I’m a member of a page on Facebook with a friend of my that runs a help page repairing welding machines . We are up to 1.9k members now on the page . The page only been about 14 to 16 months now growing rapidly . People are saying its one of the best pages to get information to Repair your own welder . Thanks josh. .
IF ya have a wood mill, big straight trunks for lumber. The rest could be for firewood.
Time is our biggest commodity for sure my brotha...had to get this job done, now I'll go back through and pick out some good firewood and lumber from the piles
Looking good Draper!! Love the vid buddy!
Wesley!! Woooo!!! Come see me buddy!
Josh,it’s going to be amazingly beautiful 🤩 when all said and done ✅ the views will be wonderful for years to come 😮😊❤
You operate a skid loader, you will have no problem with the track loader.😊
👍
Looking great brother keep up the good work!
Awesome 👏🏽
I know you know Kapper. The tree tipper expert. I can see a compact excavator in your fleet some day like his unit. 😊
Don't forget to grease that machine EVERY DAY.
Also grease up for daddy government.
Damn that's a shame. I'm not fond of getting rid of forest. Broken eggs though. Bet it was fun 😁
nobody wants to remove trees if they can help it, however the cows can't graze trees and the septic system won't work in the forest so we had to get on this. If I had infinate time all that firewood would be cut and stacked in the shed
Josh you looked like a possum eating briars working that excavator
Don't break anything, or run or swing, into anything with that Monster! You'll wish your Momma didn't meet your Papa! Taken from Jaws 1975 American Film. Like the idea you're
making a look out! yeah, dig as many stumps out as you can while you have the thing! WOOO!
Hey Josh thank you for the video woo
Good morning!
🌹🌹🌹🌹
You should get letdig 18 to come over to give some pointers 😅😂
Awesome machine!!! It looks like fun to operate it. What does it cost to rent it?
Hope You Get To A Million Subs Soon
Might have to make you a shortcut path through there as well.
If you're going to track material aroud with the excavator, I'd recommend making sure you have a full load before doing so. Excavators move very slowly so you lose a lot of time by tracking with small loads.
Watch a few experienced guys, it is amazing how they have no wasted moves, they have several moves ahead going on.
John Deere is 159 hp
Cat is 160 hp 4 Cylinders.
i ran a CAT 963 and it's fun and not hard at all. You should have Let's Dig 18 help you too
Wooooo!
What a beast, can anyone just call up and rent that monster?
Yep, they'll rent to just about anyone. But if you haven't used one before I'd recommend finding someone experienced to teach you and/or starting with a smaller machine.
That looks like fun!
Hey don't feel bad i'm not a pro at heavy equipment operating either i'm a rookie 💪 someday i hope you and i will both be pro's at heavy equipment operating
Just this week I watched Matt from Diesel Creek use his excavators to clear his house block. Is Matt close enough to pop down and give you some tips?
Also Josh you are doing way better than I could. Awesome work SRF.
yep......I got this man. I know there's better operators out there...just give me a little time to get in the swing of things and I got it! Wooooo!! Takes me a little time to re-learn the machine. I have it all week fyi...gonna be an adventure!
Thanks for stopping over. any advice you might have we'd be open to suggestion. As first year homesteader we make more mistakes than successes. thanks again.
anytime!
Looked fun. Are you going to use a root rake on either the bulldozer or the excavator?
you'll see...coming soon...not so many roots, but gosh...tons of rocks!
any trees big enough for the saw mill maybe some wood for you to use later
plenty of them....but time is not on my side. I'll go back through and get some lumber and firewood at some point for sure
🙏🙋♂️👍

Josh you need Chris from letsdig18 he in the eastern part of North Carolina i believe he's a awesome equipment operator. And has a great UA-cam channel.
Too expensive.
I don't need Chris....I just need a little time my brotha...I know him...we've talked a few times, just takes a little time to get proficient at anything in this world....I get better in part 2...you'll love it!
With you and Frank being friends you'd think he'd trust you. Enough to operate his 953C
It's his livelihood.I wouldn't hand my keys to someone and risk my livelihood.... rental..sure!
@@StoneyRidgeFarmer Fair point
@@StoneyRidgeFarmer Guess i wouldn't either but i would make an exception for my best friend Will because he's a hell of a heavy equipment operator
With that big of a maching, you probably could just pull the trees out like they are weeds in the garden, instead of knocking them over.
tough to get the bucket under and around the base of the tree without hitting the trunk...that's why it's easier and quicker to push them down and gather them up
75(100) horsepower
It hurt watching you try to operate that excavator
Perfect example of "destructive v/s constructive criticism" here......My friend...read your comment....and ask yourself if it seems like a nice thing to say to someone. I jumped in head first, with very little experience....learned how to run the machine and cleared my own land.......something that 99.999999% of people would not do...and I'm being put down for it? Does that seem appropriate to you? Supportive? Friendly? Ask yourself how many times a day a person like myself gets put down in the comments....how would it make you feel to wake up every morning to being put down by folks?
How bout this: Boy Josh....when you started out running that excavator you were struggling...looks like ya got it figured out by the time you were done! Good Job! (example of constructive v/s destructive criticism for ya)
AMERICA YEE YEE 😎😁
Probably too late but you could move some of the manageable tree and relocate them to pasture that you need some trees in, or is that a waste of time.
you know....I didn't really think of that....I wonder if it would work
Answer me this Josh. The area that you’re dumping the trees in I assume is your land? Then if that’s true, why is there a fence there or is it another sectioned up area for the cattle.
just pushing the brush down in a gully for now....will most likely build a pond down there at some point....this is inside the last 25 acre section we fenced last summer...it will rot and when I build the pond we'll use it to start the fire and burn up all the brush
@@StoneyRidgeFarmer thank you for the response Josh. I enjoy watching and sponsoring you and I’m amazed how much you do, being by yourself. I do miss seeing your ex, but what can you do?
Do ur self a favor and always check the oil in equipment every time before u use it if it’s urs or not
The old saying is slower is faster get er done
by-law officers and other officers came to a farm and asked the owner if they could inspect his farm, he thought he must comply to the legal artificial political personnel, so he volunteered to allow them to do their business on his property. for a few years they proceeded to accuse him of things he was doing are wrong, not to their liking and that he should do it the way they wanted, having to buy new things and changing building structures etc... he did everything they wanted. they then ordered him to shut the farm down, he had been running for over 40 yrs, never causing anyone any criminal intent, never causing damage and injury to anyone growing potatoes. so he got very angry at the legal by-law officer, just to act arrogant and totally mean, she said to him; if you had not allowed us on your property we would not have been able to do anything. the whole financial corporate legal civil political system, it's departments and services are businesses, that are only voluntary!
is the financial legal corporate system trying to hide that they are a business, that is only voluntary! should any corporation, business, service, have authority to force anything to do business in their "jurisdictional by-law authority" it's codes, rules? mcdonalds,? wendy;s? the corporate health department? the polls department? the lobbying department? licensing department etc... it's president and stock holders? popeye's chicken, it's stock holders? force your children to act as a slave to any corporation, business, service? this is what hitler did, stalin, lenin etc... the birth certificate is a corporate legal business, signed by the corporate registrar general, used as legal jurisdictional authority over any child and it's property, that has one. when any business wants to trick anyone to volunteer to their jurisdictional authority in their business, ask them to put in writing and send it to you. just state you do not want their business service, they may take you to court, before a jury of men and woman, with proof, state why you do not need the business service they offer. creatively remove the understanding(standing under) volunteering, consent into slavery, choose to be creatively free.
Hope your not doing this for a couple bucks Mr stoney ridge because i really like u josh lots of love josh 👍👍
huh? Not sure what you're talking about buddy...I"m just filming what I'm doing here
Did you have to 'fold' on that septic-Environmental Services issue, or did you ask them to retest? OR, now you're making it work to your benefit with a changed plan? It doesn't matter really, I'm just a fan/viewer. Just the Facts JOSH- FBI!!
just decided that if I'm gonna have to clear out more trees for the septic....then I'll clear out enough space so that I can have an awesome view and more pasture
Lol those are tinker toys not monsters
it's a monster for this farm lol...any bigger and we couldn't get it through the gates my brotha
I’m sorry but this is making my eyes bleed lol good job
why is this making your eyes bleed?
where is miss stoney ridge. better get her opinion first.
she's been gone since Jan 1st my friend...never to return this time. Enough is enough...here's the video talking about it, in case you didn't see: ua-cam.com/users/livejJ4lW8qa8Eg
Where can I find one? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 500,000 on the table will you accept the offer? 🤣🤣🤣🫡🤣
Awesome machine!!! It looks like fun to operate it. What does it cost to rent it?
about $7k per month
