Man, that Baumalight MP560 Forestry Mulcher & Baumalight MX330 are some powerful pieces of equipment. Looks like they made life a lot easier and saved you some serious time. That cleared out island looks great!
That is also one of my favorite type of videos. I’m so happy for you and your new place to play is going to be a great addition. I was going to enter a few comments before watching the video but you addressed them so I’m glad I waited (tree trimming with flail, and following up with a saw to clean the ripped stubs off). One comment that I was going to make that you didn’t address is that even if you don’t stock that little pond with fish, the birds will do it for you. It takes longer because they transport eggs off their feet whereas you could put in fingerlings.
What a great transformation.. I don't know why but I see white gravel road in an S shape under the trees and a small bridge going over the pond. It really looks great. Love the pond updates and now that we have 2 ponds it is like Christmas lol.
I've been enjoying the pond series and hopefully the main pond will have the fix you've been wanting. I caught your angle grinder video and found it to be very informative. I have the same switch on my grinder and will be shopping for a new grinder. I've been using mine for 20+ years with no incidents but a wise decision to replace after seeing your video. Hopefully you can get it put back up as it seems to have been removed. It was a great PSA and thanks for sharing your story. Stay safe!
What an amazing project! Turning a simple borrow pit into such a cozy spot is just fantastic. You can really see the effort and passion you put into it. I’m curious to see how the final result will look!
i started watching this channel for firewood splitting content, subbed for pond build, keep coming back to see all the wonderful changes. i watch everytime I get a notification, cheers yall
Love this tool. I find Backing up on my tractor though, is pretty stressful.... but that looks way easier than any other way to clear the land! Best, -- J. Andre. / Old Iron Acres
What a great transformation! Seems like your next implement should be a mini-skid steer. It's been a game-changer for Mike Morgan and it might be a good tool for your woodyard and property. Really good video, Adam!
Adam, from the start with the making of a borrow pit /catch basin, I was thinking a campsite in your future. I think when you get that cleared, you will be surprised how useful that area will be. I think it is time and money well spent, thank you for taking me along as you improve a very nice set up.
Excellent job. It’s awesome what you can do with a little effort & some thoughts. Your family will enjoy this area for years to come. TY for sharing all your hard work. Dave D from Maine.🇺🇸👍
Adam, I watch a few channels that use forestry mulchers and they all have ballistic glass for their windows on their machines. My guess is that your tractor does not. If I were you I would be wearing safety glasses at a minimum. Take a cue from Doug. Anyway, stay safe healthy and cool. Bill H from Cranberry Township
I think because you are sitting so much higher in the tractor and you can't lift the bottom of the mulcher to eye level like in a skid steer it can't really throw things at the glass. It throws things underneath the tractor instead. Depending on how soft the underside is that could do damage and nothing you care about should ever be in front of you when running it.
Good and informative video👏🏻👍🏻. Although it shows the capabilities of a skid steer, your tractor is too large and nice for this attachment. Enjoyed your content🇺🇸👏🏻.
One of your best videos for sure!! I know how easy it is for other people to spend your money. But, I'd really consider planting some October Glory and Red Sunset Maples strategically around the new pond. The fall colors would be incredible for the "Hometown Acres Park!" In a couple of years you'd have the iconic NE backdrop going forward. Awesome job!
GOOOOOOOD SUNDAY MORNING EVERYONE!!!…game changer is an understatement!!…😮😮😮… wish they made one for a compact tractor …Adam, that turned out AMAZING!! Well done! Thanks for sharing Have a day 😊
that area of your property is really looking nice. I think i would use the darker pond dye , dark blue /black on that second pond , it would look more natural and fit better with the lake type setting you just did, in my opinion.
Nice land clearing video. Impressive implements 👍 A small section of geotech and pea gravel or pavers for your fire pit and your good to go once the grass grows in 😊
Yall are really improving your place and have made a beautiful place so far, I imagine the previous owners see what you have done and are envious of the place.
My favorite kind of videos, too!! Great job. I think I'd be at that pond more than the other one!! It's going to be beautiful with snow covering it!! God bless y'all!! 🙏🥰👍👍👍
I don't know if you have wood ducks in your area but a house put in about three feet in the pond would be nice. I have two houses on my pond and have watched the ducklings jumping out! The grandkids thought that was the cutest thing to watch Looks sweet 👍
What a great video! I have really become a big fan of your channel. It’s exciting to see how much you have grown in your ability to operate your equipment. I’ve been watching for a long time so I’ve seen a great amount of change in your property.. May the Lord continue to bless you and your family!
I enjoy all of your videos, but this was one of the cooler ones! Wonderful transformation and you probably get tons of these comments about the second pond, but if you enjoy fishing, you could throw a few fish in this pond and Anderson would probably love fishing there!
Mulcher was impressive. I'd run it. Concern would be tires and sharp, pointy debris. From personal experience of putting a sharp piece into a tire...watch out for that. Awesome transformation!
Adam hear me out, what if you completely encircled those tress with water? What a gorgeous little island it would become! Clear out some of the brush and put some sand around the edges!!
Good morning Adam, what a wonderful transformation, you’re correct it’s going to be a little slice of Paradise in Visionary Paradise. It might even turn into a small skating pond for the kids to ice skate on in the winter. Any thoughts on putting a solar powered fountain in the pond? That new attachment looks like a wonderful addition to facilitate maintenance of your amazing property. Still loving the lumber yard building in the background. 😀👍👍👍
I seriously doubt you would find an arborist who would recommend using a flail mulcher to prune trees. Yes, you get rid of low hanging branches easily, but the wound to the tree is not anything that would heal over. If you value the trees, use a saw and prune the limbs properly.
I was thinking the same thing. He did come back and make clean cuts at the end, but you could easily split the trunks and kill the trees the way he was "pruning" the trees.
Having the smaller one on your hyundai is actually really cool, the fact that it lets you get right up on the edge of the water without having to worry about taking a swim.
Looks like your new video was removed by UA-cam so here is my comment on it. >>> Wow! I'm surprised that didn't send you to the OR. Glad you're OK. I know it's going to take some time to heal so take a couple weeks off and let your body recover. Subscribers' orders!
I'm kinda mixed on this project. Sure, it'll look nice and be safer for small humans. If that's the goal, you nailed it. But for more local wildlife, the more natural...the better. I think it's a win tho, considering your sitch. Would be cool to excavate the last 1/3 and just make it an island...with a bridge you could walk over and kayak under, doing loops all day - I bet the kiddos would dig that.
If you price shop those fittings, I've bought male/female sets for $40, bought a 3 pack (male and female in each pack) for $80 on Amazon. Never had a problem with any of them.
Awesome transformation, Adam. The area around the new pond looks great. Just curious: as Lana looked out from the house upon the giant holes dug in the yard, piles and rivers of mud, gravel driveway damage from the storms, etc., was there ever a time when she said "Adam, are you sure you know what you're doing?" 😉😉😉 Another awesome video. Keep up the great work. I will catch you on the next one.
This might be an unpopular opinion, but the new pond looks much better than the old pond. Personally I would also have more natural areas of the property rather than acres of mown grass, nowhere for insects, etc
I love how you care for machines Adam - not just their parts, but their emotions too. Leaving some tasks for the excavator to do and showing that while it may not be as powerful, it can do the high work. You don't want sad, grumpy or boastful machines winding each other up overnight in the garage. 🚜🏗️
Enjoyed the video, I also have a MT357. I heard and seen where you have a hydraulic top link setup. You mind sending or listing the items you used? I'd really appreciate it.
It's fine on level ground but the pucker factor will go way up on a side slope or uneven ground. I prefer the stability afforded by a tract skid steer for this kind of work.
You made that look really nice. Like you said it will be a nice place for camping. For now just clean up the brush and burn it in the fire ring and enjoy.
With a 12 GPM pump, you are only getting about that many HP at the mower end, it's not quite a 1:1 ratio, but it gets you close enough for a guesstimate
When you're finished with that, would you mind if I borrowed it? Oh, and the tractor it's attached to? I've got 30 acres of forest that sure could use a good trimming up..... 😁
Need to compliment / recognize your camera person. Need to see these tools in action in the future. I'm really interested if this would mulch up what a local arborist drops off. Brush. Compared to getting a big chipper. I also need a grapple.
I think most of the time, HE IS the camera person. This whole video looks like he shot it, just taking time to mount the camera for different shots, some drone work, and handheld. Sometimes whoever is with him (ie Doug) will film, but he seems to do a lot himself.
When you chose the flail cutter for the mini-ex, did you also look at mini-ex brush cutters, like a VMC EXG36L or EXG42L? If you did, what was the deciding factor?
Looks really good hometown!…..kind of makes you think that’s where the pond should of been dug in the first place …..like I said before….if you’re building a pond dam then a pond shouldn’t be there…..natural ponds don’t have dams!

That forestry mulcher is an absolute BEAST! It literally just sucks material into it!

I think it is time and money well spent, thank you for taking me along as you improve a very nice set up.

eye protection is NEVER a bad thing.
Lol
@@C_J_81as a general rule I agree, but from experience forestry glass is a must.

💯💯💯
The aqua marine colour looks like the Caribbean and it's really out of place. Black pond dye or black and blue mixed would look much better.

Would be a great activity for you and your son in the garage this winter.
I think I'd make it into a bass pond ... Kids will enjoy fishing that pond and seeing what's in it and how they grow

I plan to
That new park is a good spot for wood chips,
Mulcher was impressive. I'd run it. Concern would be tires and sharp, pointy debris. From personal experience of putting a sharp piece into a tire...watch out for that. Awesome transformation!
The mulcher takes everything down to the ground. Doesn’t really leave sharp pointy spikes. But I will keep an eye out
@@HometownAcres It appears to do a great job. Just something from experience...Nothing like a rear tire being flat the next day.
Adam hear me out, what if you completely encircled those tress with water? What a gorgeous little island it would become! Clear out some of the brush and put some sand around the edges!!

You may want to consider swapping hammers for your Y blades on your excavator mulcher. Especially if you’re going to be cutting brush.
Rather than grass under the trees, I think I'd go with mixed wild flower and bulbs.
wood chips
@@InlogixEnterprises This! Now he needs a wood chipper to make his own chips.
I think you could build the gazebo over there and have a bridge. Going across there with lights on it. That would look really nice.
I seriously doubt you would find an arborist who would recommend using a flail mulcher to prune trees.
Yes, you get rid of low hanging branches easily, but the wound to the tree is not anything that would heal over.
If you value the trees, use a saw and prune the limbs properly.
Yeah I was thinking just come in w/ a saw and cut those down then follow back up with the mulcher on ground.
I was thinking the same thing. He did come back and make clean cuts at the end, but you could easily split the trunks and kill the trees the way he was "pruning" the trees.
I came back and cleaned up the cuts with a chainsaw. It’s easier to mulch the branches when they are still on the tree then on the ground
Without using the flail he would have had a tough time reaching the trees to prune them.
Sometimes you gotta bushwhack.
@@HometownAcres I mean not really considering you have that big mulcher lol. Lay them down with a saw then back the mulcher over them.
Love my fae mulcher head. Easy attach to the skid and eats massive trees
Having the smaller one on your hyundai is actually really cool, the fact that it lets you get right up on the edge of the water without having to worry about taking a swim.
Yep it’s nice to have reach and maneuverability.
Looks like your new video was removed by UA-cam so here is my comment on it. >>> Wow! I'm surprised that didn't send you to the OR. Glad you're OK. I know it's going to take some time to heal so take a couple weeks off and let your body recover. Subscribers' orders!
Yeah I’m appealing it with UA-cam now. Thanks!
@@HometownAcres Don't stress over it. Just get some iced tea and relax at the pond.
Beautiful property! You should be very proud. What an awesome place to raise your children.
wow that is looking great by second pond.. Hey get some fish for the second pond and u can fish in it... get sone bass and other

Keep up the great work. I will catch you on the next one.
Maybe in her head but she’s never voiced it haha
Looks better than the other pond.
That's an understatement. This is a cool little fishing hole !😊
You'll be stocking that pond with fish pretty soon.
Looks awesome the new pond. You should make it bigger and leave an island would look cool
That looks great!
You've certainly turned your home into a beautiful place for y'all to enjoy for the coming years!! Stay Hydrated and Have a Safe Day
This might be an unpopular opinion, but the new pond looks much better than the old pond. Personally I would also have more natural areas of the property rather than acres of mown grass, nowhere for insects, etc
That's some very nice ground-clearing equipment. Makes relatively quicker work of Brush removal. Nice and for me informative video. 👍
You've created one heck of an oasis.
You deserve a wider audience!
Looks good. No need for a pole saw for limb trimming when you’re 6’5”. 😊
I love how you care for machines Adam - not just their parts, but their emotions too.
Leaving some tasks for the excavator to do and showing that while it may not be as powerful, it can do the high work.
You don't want sad, grumpy or boastful machines winding each other up overnight in the garage. 🚜🏗️
Gotta keep em happy haha
Nice job on the intro. Also, fantastic job on the peninsula project.
Cool tools buy is a forestry mulcher on a mini excavator the best way too trim a tree for it’s health
Enjoyed the video, I also have a MT357. I heard and seen where you have a hydraulic top link setup. You mind sending or listing the items you used? I'd really appreciate it.
Great video,nothing beats taking an overgrown area and making it usable and beautiful!
good job!
Loving the longer videos
Paint those benches white. It will look amazing.
In nature, a natural color or stain looks a lot better (browns, greens). I'm no designer, but white would seem out of place to me.
The little fire pit and lounge benches at the end of this vid are a nice touch. Great place to enjoy an Ife coffee after putting in all that labor.
My suggestion for the new area at the supply pond would be some stone rather then grass seed. No maintenance and hopefully would keep the bugs down
I enjoyed watching this video. The second pond area cleaned up so nicely! Looks so peaceful.
Your lawn is a prime lawn for a battery powered robotic lawn mower. It would probably save you a ton of money in fuel and maintenance.
Man that machine snatching everything in its path
Looks awesome Adam!
I keep saying this, A pond without a walkable peninsula is a wasted pond!
Congrats on your decision.
Nicely done. Those shade trees you left will be very nice on a warm summers day. Looking forward to the next parts of this project.
Wow those pieces of equipment did a fantastic job.
Yes they did thanks
11:44 It would be good to have a camera snake at the end of the implement wired up to your cab, like a camera in a newer car for backing up.
That nice shady spot under the tree will be a nice spot to take a break on a hot day.
It's fine on level ground but the pucker factor will go way up on a side slope or uneven ground. I prefer the stability afforded by a tract skid steer for this kind of work.
I agree. Tractors are much more tippy than track loaders
Beautiful!
Hello Adam, Definitely a well made unit, Skidder Kev works his hard👍🇺🇸
Yes it is
Nice job, Adam. Great vision on your part. Enjoy the park like setting.
I’d plant clover not grass on that back area of the new pond. Brings in deer and mowing would be decreased to none😊
You made that look really nice. Like you said it will be a nice place for camping. For now just clean up the brush and burn it in the fire ring and enjoy.
Picnic pond and a hockey pond. Looking good.👍
That turned out awesome!
What a big transformation looks good!
Great job Adam. That will be a great help out in the woods too.👍🌲🌳
Your farm is looking great and I love your tractors 🇳🇿👍
Thanks 👍
Adam-
Wow I love the new pond and area! Looks great love how you cleaned up the brush and looks so natural and has always been there! Awesome job!
Awesome! Thank you!
With a 12 GPM pump, you are only getting about that many HP at the mower end, it's not quite a 1:1 ratio, but it gets you close enough for a guesstimate
Great Video! Thanks.
Glad you liked it!
I would clean up more behind the area where you mulched, and get rid of the scrub brush behind those trees.
Looked like a screen from the road to me, maybe?
When you're finished with that, would you mind if I borrowed it? Oh, and the tractor it's attached to? I've got 30 acres of forest that sure could use a good trimming up..... 😁

Yes. My wife helped me get a few shots outside the cab in this video. But most of it was go pro footage mounted to the cab
It’s always good to have a paddle.
Yep
I know this would be a ton more work but hear me out….
You should turn that area into an island, and build a bridge!!
That area will look so much better Adam.
That's a natural place for a pond. Low area, drainage swale, that's why the clay is there.
Should put a diving rock near the deep spot.
I would have turned that tree area into an island :)
Nice transformation
When you chose the flail cutter for the mini-ex, did you also look at mini-ex brush cutters, like a VMC EXG36L or EXG42L? If you did, what was the deciding factor?
Should make it an island with just a 5 foot path going out to it.
Gunna be no trees left on the property in a year or two! :)
That was awesome! Very nice transformation.
That was a very satisfying video. Love property cleanup videos.
Glad you enjoyed it!
3:20 with that wing, you must get some serious downforce at highway speeds. 😂 Jokes aside, that thing is BA.
Haha
Looks really good hometown!…..kind of makes you think that’s where the pond should of been dug in the first place …..like I said before….if you’re building a pond dam then a pond shouldn’t be there…..natural ponds don’t have dams!
