That area you flattened out today would be a great place to put in a sand beach. Kids swimming. Oh my, put cut banks for a bout 7/8 of the pond, and a sand beach stocked with blue gill or sun perch. Kids and grandkids will love that. Awesome place for family reunions too.
It's a pretty spot - like the idea of leaving the buffer and extending the pond. And yes you will find lots to do - it is a farm where time and brush wait for no man.
Good things come to those who wait. Working on your property as time and equipment allows you will work just fine. Once it's done you'll be happy with the results. Impressed with your homestead and now it's expansion. You have the vision and will see it through to the end. Can't wait to see your future livestock roaming the new land!
Chris. After you get your fences installed, you need some goats. They eat what cows won't, and they'll keep the area bush hogged so you won't have to waste much of anything on that front. Just a thought.

Folks here is a story about Mini The Mulcher. She is real quick at horticulture She was the roughest toughest flail But the Mini is best for clearing a trail.
Watching you working on your own property with fresh ideas makes me remember when I was living the dream myself 25 years ago. Think about your future privacy and security as our world is changing fast.
Hi Chris, Love your vids, It must give you a great deal of satisfaction to see your plans coming together. It will be beautiful when you have everything just the way you want it. Great to see someone realizing their dreams!
Chris I have been watching your videos for so long that I hit the like button before I watch the video, because I know it's going to be a good one. Thanks for sharing another great video see you on the next one ✌️
Chris. That mullcher attachment is pretty seeet at clearing all those sweet gum sapplings. Enjoy watching you work equipment. Please Take Care of your self Plus Be Very Care Full around all Equipment.
Debbie that's funny thats like every time he says that he's going to have a small fire or just put one or two more grapple loads on the fire he just cant himself lol but that's fine with me I love his videos and could watch them all day
I would like to see Diesel Creek's Lorain Shovel down there digging out the pond. Would be so cool to see the pond enlarged only with antique equipment.
Looking at Chris work it, it’s patience and knowing what size to grind and what to leave. The finished product looks great. I like the Yanmar mini excavator as it’s ideal for edges and ponds where I wouldn’t with a skid steer.👍
Chris, You mentioned that you are mulching this so you can brush hog it later. In my past experience, those trees that are cut off, some sharp, are a tractor tires enemy.
WOW looks great so far!! It will be so beautiful there when you get the cabins and such done so I guess I'll have to watch your channel for years to come ( I would anyway!! lol!!) Stay safe Chris!!
I can’t decide if I’m a fan of the mulcher or not. It seems like it’s a compromise attachment, it does the job, but leaves a big mess. I would think you would still need to run a root rake to get all those little stumps out. I like that you can hit all the hard to get to spots, banks, creek sides, around trees. Maybe I like it more for brush removal and not so much for saplings and small trees.
Chris, I'm jealous. I remember having to do the same with a 3-point hitch bush hog connected to a Deutz tractor. LOL Had to use a chainsaw for the bigger stuff.
I was thinking the same thing just the way he said sounded like he's going to be looking on line tonight and seeing what's there to bid on. He should have one in a couple of weeks to a month. Don't we think we know him pretty good lol
A question Chris, does that Yanmar have enough hydraulic flow for that mulcher? Seems to me you could use a bit more oil flow and have a line running to the accumulator.
I definitely would upgrade to high flow line . I'm pretty sure he's aware of the problem. He probably prefers sitting on his but drinking a frosty beverage. Than doing it by hand.
@@rwarren4757 you have to remember that the Yanmar excavator is only 40 Hp. You’re not running high flow with 40 hp. We have a 90 hp case skid steer with Hi Flow Brush mower you can feel on the skid steer trying to maintain 40 GPM... it takes all of 90 HP.
I knew you would not stay away from the new farm,kid in candy store,now it’s time to get a new toy to add to the fleet,that will be beneficial for the new farm to make the transition easier.looking good,have you found any surprises in the woods,house,cars,well ,old farm dump.make for interesting exploration.it does look like a nice piece of property,so far .great videoing on your part.keep it up 👍👍👍😎😎😎
Well, I'll give you credit for waiting as long as you did... If it had been ME, I would have been out there as soon as the papers were signed (even if midnight, and working with lights -- assuming it doesn't disturb your neighbor). OK, so I'm a bit of a pond fanatic...
I still think you mulcher head is way under powered. mine will chew those small trees up twice as fast and not slow down nearly as much. you might need a hydraulic booster pump for that machine.
Wow you are so blessed, "only in America " lol I would love to be doing all of what you do over there closer to the East coast . I can't help but to think man it sure would be above and beyond if you could toss a line out when you are working near any of those beautiful bodys of water just to see a bit of angling. What do think Chris? I think the first video i watched was the one where you had to carry those mats all the way around and dig/dredge out the excavator from that silt filled association pond. First time I ever saw mats too. It's amazing what covid did.
Some people go to the beach, some to the mountains or to the bar. Chris works on his farm to unwind, and it shows! This is going to be a beautiful addition to your farm.
When you have a Strong 💪 Work Ethic, Nothing surprises us on this Channel. Arborist once told me, he Likes ALL trees but Sweet Gum is Top of List to Remove if necessary. 😬👍
It's looking good Chris. I'm happy to watch you working on your dream farm, and seeing it take shape! Yes, it's just a preliminary cleanup, but it looks great!
Hey Chris on your new farm by your pond and stuff you can always take Betty out there after you get her back and I use her out there to test around and everything before you put her out on a big job stick around your pawn then
That thing is like 10k beavers on steroids!!! Going to get me one for my birthday! We have 58k acres here in Alaska (homesteaded in 1927 by my father and 4 of my older brothers). I was the youngest of 8 boys and the last remaining here in the States. Allot of forest, a sizable deep water lake (landlocked) under ground spring fed from the Chugiak mountains. The shoreline needs trimming every spring so this thing would do some short work for sure! Rough mulching would feed the beaver and keep them from killing our trees!
It looks great the work u have dune on the new part of your farm can't wait to see what tipe of Cabins u are going to build are u putting in Log Cabins on the farm cant wait to see
Just think if one of those about 8’ wide was on the 220, the damage you could do with it! lol 😂 You could clean up a lot with it or on on the big girl 250! I was just thinking out loud my friend! lol 😂 I love these videos, anything around a pond is what I enjoy watching you clean , repair or build new! 👌🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻 Oh yeah, Andrew Camarata just bought one for his mini excavators! He loves it too! 🤙🏻🤙🏻Pond looks so much better now Chris, now you can see it! Good job brother, thanks for sharing Chris! 👏🏻👏🏻👌🏻👌🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Your pond looks so much better now. I enjoy watching mulching videos. I like watching forestry mulchers like the kind that go on something like a skid steer more but one of those wouldn’t be much use clearing around a pond bank. I can’t wait to see more of your new property transformation videos.
Pond looks nice, really opened it up. I’ve noticed a couple of new, to me anyway, techniques your using when mulching smaller standing trees ( the sweeping motion with the back of the cutter head then swing forward and down to cut the trees off) and they seem to be pretty effective from what I can tell. Thanks for the ride along.
Chris, if I were you I would contact Upstate Brush Control and trade dirt work for brushwork you both make out. Chris, I don't give a shit what they say, you make it happen good job
Judging by the drone video there is going to be a lot of mulching videos coming out. Maybe time to have Brandon from Elite Earthworks come back up for a visit and bring his unit!!
Just saw a video that Andrew Camarata has one of these now. The difference between these two is hilarious. Love Andrew for who he is, but he has zero mechanical sympathy and just destroys his equipment. Whereas Chris is soooo smooth, treats and maintains his very well.
Looks like you’ve learned something with the Mulcher, instead of moving the head from right to left up against trees you instead sweep it from left to right over the trees. Nice work
I say leave it grubbed out like it is... Now with sunlight going to it you maybe surprised what comes up. I know you will get rid of the earth mounds, but leaving trees gives it a more private feeling, instead of taking down all the trees and having it all open Nice little jetty sticking out and you can come down a fish and relax..your own oasis of calm. Unless the dogs are helping you fish Great videos thank you
Love your content you make I also watch upstate brush control you need to get one of the cutters he uses on his bob cats it cut way way faster ,I am sure it is expensive but it would make the brush u cut faster ,again love watching lol have a good one God Bless
Nice little afternoon video to watch Chris. That pond is going to look real nice when you cut out that odd corner and the other work you talked about in the first video about your new property.
Hi Chris. I so look forward to your new property development. Thanks for taking us along.

Ha ha 😂! I knew you couldn't "help" making your job site and the property look better.
As always, great job!

Don't forget a picknick table under a good shade tree.

That's definitely the cat's meow having a mulching head on the mini for those slopes! Looking good!
Raise your hand if you knew Chris couldn't leave that mess alone after he did his walk through.

By the end of the video it looks like you had a great technique for the saplings. Fast learner. Love it.

Nice trim it so we can see it better. Now that's starting to look much better and in a short time.
Strangely hypnotic and enjoyable to watch.
another all new video. been waiting on one to watch. just cant get enough of letsdig18...

New subscriber here. That shredder is amazing. Never seen one like it. I am familiar with what a bush hog is and how they work. Fine job there, Chris.
Good on ya for saving the little cedar. 👍👍👍👍👍
Chris.
Looking good. I can see the pond now.😁😎
Definitely an upgrade! Pretty little spot in the Sun! 🌞
I can see me sitting under that lone shade tree with a cane pole in my hand. There would be nothing better. Thanks for another great video.
Nicely done ,Chris, new farm going to look great.great video

I wish there was a auto fill on the "Like button" I would just turn it on a then I could never forget two push it and just go right to the video
👍 If I were you, after I bought the new property I would have called myself and reported off.
The sweet feeling of do it your way because you can... 😁
Chris.
That mullcher attachment is pretty seeet at clearing all those sweet gum sapplings. Enjoy watching you work equipment. Please Take Care of your self Plus Be Very Care Full around all Equipment.
Chris said it would take a long time to get around to working on the ponds. The way I see it, the cabins will go up next week😀.
Debbie that's funny thats like every time he says that he's going to have a small fire or just put one or two more grapple loads on the fire he just cant himself lol but that's fine with me I love his videos and could watch them all day
i would suggest getting some old firehose and cut it into lengths to put over your hydraulic hoses on the mulcher to your connections on the yanmar..
Pretty sure DP has some left over from the tile plow project. Just have him send you some.
I would like to see Diesel Creek's Lorain Shovel down there digging out the pond. Would be so cool to see the pond enlarged only with antique equipment.
You’re living the dream! I can’t wait to see all of what y’all be doing with the property.
I like the look of the coarse mulch from your rig. I can remember clearing scrub as a kid. I'd spend a week doing what you do in 30 minutes
Its going to look great after you get done with it
You handle that mulcher must better then the others that I have watched . Congrsts on your new farm land
he handles everything better !!
Looking at Chris work it, it’s patience and knowing what size to grind and what to leave. The finished product looks great. I like the Yanmar mini excavator as it’s ideal for edges and ponds where I wouldn’t with a skid steer.👍
It's looking a lot better where you mulched, sounds like you got some good ideas on what your pond is going to look like when your done.
(music playing) "What a difference a day makes" (music playing) What a great job..
Chris, You mentioned that you are mulching this so you can brush hog it later. In my past experience, those trees that are cut off, some sharp, are a tractor tires enemy.

I just knew when you said the new property had a pond that the pond master just wouldn't resist. Lol
Let's go! 👍
The best part about this is, Your Property, Your Equipment, Your Dreams and Our Viewing Pleasure.
Chris, I'm jealous. I remember having to do the same with a 3-point hitch bush hog connected to a Deutz tractor. LOL Had to use a chainsaw for the bigger stuff.
Sounds like an excuse to buy another piece of equipment at an auction 😁... So you can have a farm only excavator .
I was thinking the same thing just the way he said sounded like he's going to be looking on line tonight and seeing what's there to bid on. He should have one in a couple of weeks to a month. Don't we think we know him pretty good lol
I like how you left the three amigos standing.
Seeing that mulcher at work, the Coen brothers' 1996 "Fargo" comes to mind .....
Would you rather run a mulcher on the Takeuchi track loader or the excavator. I feel like the further you stay away from the mulcher the safer it is.
Always good to see you improving on the home farm.
Are there fish in the pond? It’s looking so much better. 👍👍😎✌️✌️🇺🇸🇺🇸
Okay...Question: How many guys out there said "Man I've got to get me one of those!!"? Another awesome job, Chris.
Looks very good. Less snakey. Stay safe.
A question Chris, does that Yanmar have enough hydraulic flow for that mulcher? Seems to me you could use a bit more oil flow and have a line running to the accumulator.

I think this channel is about 90% pond nuts! LOL!
@@sabgab I'll agree with you in that one and probably a lot more when it comes to Chris working on something
When you make a pass, you need to lift up and let the drum recover momentum. On my skid steer I’m grinding, pulling back then grinding.
...do a good job i hear the land owner is very fussy...lol..keep safe..
He is a White Glove Owner lmao
I still think you mulcher head is way under powered. mine will chew those small trees up twice as fast and not slow down nearly as much. you might need a hydraulic booster pump for that machine.

Congrats on the new property, Sorry but I don't have any suggestions on how to do you're job better than you do, maybe next time
Hehehe, worker bee Chris! Weekend job?
👍looks great. 😂🤣 you didn't waste any dinosaur squeezing's 👏👏
You said, "Mini and the mulcher". I heard "Minnie the Moocher". It's a classic.
The mulching attachment is the perfect tool for the hard to reach brush, better than the skid steer type for that purpose.
We all know by the time you're done that place will look like a park. 👍👍
very theraputhic to just sit back and watch
