More Vines in Pines, More Problems!

- In this video I start taking on the challenge of cleaning up a quarter mile long row of pine trees that have been infested with vines and saplings that are killing the trees.
We had a storm late August 2023 and had some damage to neighbors properties, so this is the start of trying to salvage this row of pines. But as always, things don't always go as planned!

If anyone has any better ideas on how to clean up this mess, I'm all ears, so please leave a comment below! As always, thanks for watching, and I hope you enjoy the rest of your weekend!
The forestry muncher is by far the most useful tool you have for this stage. The carbide teeth last much longer. Check out a bite limiter retrofit, teeth will last longer but kinda spendy. Get the property lines clear, mulch in place everything woody you can, flush to the ground, so the bush hog (or goats) can maintain it. You now have 2 operators, work in tandem (with 200ft of distance between…learned that the hard way). Much more productive together than one at a time.
@@parphi3051 Excellent advice! Thank you!
Cows would have cleaned up a lot on the beginning too.
Let us remember it was abandon for a spell.. YOU both are doing your best , For you and the Neighbors. Truly a blessing to you all .
Thank you!
So amazing! A husband and wife getting it done together! What a dream! My second video of the two of you and I love the team work! In NC we have kudzu(non native vine) that has over taken the trees. Everything looks great! A+ job you two.
Aw! Thank you! We really appreciate the sweet comments! 💗 Allison
Doing. A. Good. Job. ! 🎉😊
Thank you!
Looks better
Thank you!
What might be helpful is to get a professional out to help DIG up ALL the roots of the vines you pulled off the trees. Species of vines can just grow back with roots left. One more suggestion: a helper who can go after vines with a big trimmer and cut them up before they’re tangled in your equipment! Yes…. Uses up more time but saves repairs… right ?
We are testing the goats now on the vines to see how they do with them, but there are a lot of them!
Good job on that tree in the feild. Makes it look clean!
Thanks 👍
Hope you are able to get it fixed soon. You both have come a long way with your property. Thank you for the post, looking forward to seeing the continued progress.
All fixed now. Thank you!
So glad to see you keeping and caring for the pine trees. Those vines and volunteer "junk" trees are just parasitic. It's amazing how fast the growth occurs, even here in Iowa, let alone where you're at. I would say don't try to wrangle that stuff by hand, invest in fixing the equipment. It would keep you from attending to your wife and kids & make an old man out of you before your time.
The equipment definitely helps and yes you are right, finding the right balance between "work" and family is a struggle sometimes. Thank you for your input!
You need to let those goats loose in that underbrush. I’ve seen videos of how well goats can clear underbrush. I’ve heard that they love poison ivy. Once they clean up that…you can get the vines out
Absolutely! Right now they still seem to like goat food more than hay and brush but hopefully this Spring they can go to town on all that!
Why do people build houses way out in the country on plenty of land, right next to the boundary where trees can fall on them?
Our pine trees are falling into neighbors yards in this video because our pines are getting destroyed with vines. But yes, I'm not a huge fan of homes in the fall path of large trees. The amount of shade you get isn't worth the risk of it falling, roots damaging foundations, etc. Thanks for watching!
Onward!
👍
If you were able to have cows along that perimeter they would take care of that for you. You could also use a herd of goats to clear brush.
Good ideas!
Why was this abandoned and for how long? Making it look great.
Thanks! The previous owner passed and it was left to family. I think it was too much for them to maintain so it was left alone. We arent 100% sure how long though. I'm guessing 10 years or more just by the size of some of the trees that have grown where pastures were.
Ladies! Get yourself trained in essential mechanics...it's not that hard. My dad showed me lots when I was a teen soI wouldn't be ignorant of the simplest things. IE changing a tire, jumping a battery, changing fuses...we're smart lets use those smarts 🙂
You're exactly right! I'm a hands on kind of girl, so I love learning this stuff! ❤️ Allison
Chaps?
I do have chainsaw chaps. I try to wear them everytime I use a chainsaw! Thanks!
I guess I understand why you want the vines out of there. But why are you opening it all up and losing your privacy?
I debated whether or not to clean this area up because you're right, it is opening it up. But, if I didn't clean it up, every time it storms, we will have damage to neighbors properties from fallen limbs. The growth is slowly killing all the trees and I'm afraid if I dont do anything about it, all of the trees will be gone in a few years and open even more. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Agreed!
This is one of Bobcat's worst designs.
Agreed! I like the slide up door style on other brands better!
This video is too scatterbrained.
Thanks for watching
No muncher no result. You have used the wrong method, and I wish I could have adviced months ago.
I'm always open for ideas on a better way to to do this!
Wow, safety comment if you have not added ballast to your tractor tires do so immediately!
Usually tbe heavy duty bushhog gives me plenty of ballast weight in the rear, but I would like to get some Rim Guard added to the rear tires too someday. Thanks!
Hate when it’s ‘one of those days’. Fingers crossed it’s a fast fix
All fixed! Thanks!
TY for making a vidio that is longer than the adverts
You're welcome! Thanks for watching
It is starting to look so much better
Thanks!
