    Just posted a video to my UA-cam channel of my 1 ton excavator paired up with a TMK150 tree sheer. Crazy how well it worked for clearing trees!

    Hey Brad & Deb! I wish I had enough land and land work to justify a mini-ex. That's a sweet machine. I can do all these tasks with my B2601 for sure but man that looks like fun! Nice work :)

      Much more footage of "Precious" in action in the coming weeks. She has become a valuable tool for getting our property the way we want it. It was the machine we didn't know we needed until we got it! Take care. Brad&Deb

    Mini-ex made short work of that -- looks like a prime spot for a big rattlesnake to hang out.

      Lots more work for Precious to do!! Our neighbor has been there 20 years and he hasn't seen a diamondback rattler, but I did dispatch a pygmy rattler this fall along our driveway and a moccasin by a culvert. I've seen a diamondback up close in real life twice while walking....they are wicked animals. Gives me chills thinking about them. Take care Cliff! Brad&Deb

      No, it's 24hp. No emissions. Here's our excavator playlist: ua-cam.com/play/PLG5yS75HLzo0v6LnCFxPlQOxbi6tlXdB0.html

    You should drag that brush out and into an open area to burn instead of piling it in the treeline. Another thing you can do is to dig a big hole and bury it, use the extra soil elsewhere. But piling it up like that will create problems later on from my experience.

      It will rot for awhlle until we buy a dump trailer to move it to where we can burn it. We got time. Thanks for watching.

      @@PineyGroveHomestead I watched a bunch of your videos using the excavator, I appreciate the content giving me confidence in what I can and can't do with equipment. We moved around 250,000 lbs of dirt over the weekend from my neighbors field to my lot to level and create a better water shed.
      I'm planning on buying a tractor this year, debating on a 1025r or SA324, any opinions?

      @@greghercher2068 I think there are 2 brands of tractors to buy...John Deere and Kubota. That doesn't mean other brands won't work or get the job done. But JD and Kubota have quality products that last and a dealer network to back them up. Look up Rockhill Farms on YT...he just did a video on all the different brands of tractors. Brock has a 2038 and that is a small frame tractor, but he gets a lot done with it. To me, the best non-emissions tractor is the Kubota L2501 with hydro transmission. But for your two choices, I would go JD over Yanmar.
