As a farmer who has run skidd-steres for over 20 years, here's my thoughts. Pallet forks and a brush grapple are what you will need 100% of the time. Pallet forks are a universal tool in the world of skidd-steres. And brush grapples are a must with the amount of land you have. Trees will drop limbs all the time, and those two attachments will help you out alot! Cleaning out the equipment regularly plays a crucial role in maintaining a long, productive life. This does not mean just wash it off with a power washer. Buy a large air compressor with a blow gun, blow the air filters out, around any exposed electrical components, and the radiator/cooling system. All this seems small, but it stops problems from occurring.
You have to have the swing facing towards the view. Its not like you're gonna be doing big swings, just gentle sways. Much better to look out over your grounds than the wall.
The master oogway of yard work.
Use eye hooks. You can change the direction of the swing to your liking
If they are affected by hurricane winds, they need to be careful about it taking out their windows....
You know, when it snows, home owners have to shovel the driveways and all that? Cartoonz has like a mile long driveway xD
That's where the bobcat will come in handy 😉
Eden sees like, 6" of snow per year. Pretty sure clearing that driveway is a non-issue.
@@sigpi222 My first thought was about the kick-ass snow thrower he could put on there, until I remembered that they were in South Carolina, that this video was recent, and comparatively, they hardly even know what snow is compared to here.... 😅
In case anyone is wondering, the "bettles" at 3:30 are Boxelder bugs. They are native to the eastern parts of North America, and will hang around homes during the cold seasons for warmth. They pose no threat to anyone and are just straight up vibing.
Also, happy birthday Genay!!
southern too. We get plenty in Texas
lol i thought they were lightning bugs!
@@jend6597
Me too😅
Anyone else hold their breathe when toonz jumped that small gap?! That grunt showed them legs aint what they use to be 😂😂. Love this channel and the updates!
I suggest the swing facing the view. It’s all about what your looking at while you’re spending time in it. Happy Birthday to your lovely lady.
Genay just hopping around at 6:40 has me in tears. Such a vibe, i do that all the time xD
I was just about to say that everything makes SO much more sense. Toonz is a bit crazy, and it seems his lady is too. 🤣
The best brand is the one with the nearest dealership. Because no matter the brand, things break, so it best to have quick and easy access to repairs and/or replacements.
When you start buying implements make a habit to raise your skid steer arms up and roll it forward to check the pins to make sure they are lock in
💯 made this mistake and won’t do it again
Your new Bobcat is 100% worth the purchase because you can legit get the backhoe attachment for it for the front, it can be your workhorse, can probably get all the attachments ever made and not spend anywhere close to another $80,000. Can set aside the additional cost for fuel and maintenance for the single machine instead of two.
The Bob-Tach attachment mounting system helps you change attachments in less than a minute. And Bobcat makes the most attachments in the industry. So, yes, you're exactly right.
Ive been told by the dealer themselves how bad the backhoe attachment is and was advised to not buy it. I bought a new T76 platinum
Yo, toonz, you might want to look into getting a bobcat tool-cat. We use them at my college. Very versatile, UTV/truck like vehicle with 4 wheel steering, a fully enclosed cab, loader in the front and dumping bed in the rear. And they can move FAST! Also has high flow hydraulics, and universal attachments like the skid loader you just bought. I can see it quickly becoming an essential machine in traversing your whole property. We use ours year round to plow snow, move dirt, dump gravel, transport gear and more! One of these just might be your next purchase!
He already has ATVs though, and you can put attachments on them if needed, so that would just be throwing his money away...
@@robertlangtry5699 yeah but an ATV can't haul or carry much and the skid loader would take forever to get to certain areas of his property.
We call those boxelder bugs. They're everywhere. Lol
Definitely looks like boxelder bugs, rough on trees/plants/gardens
It would probably be a good idea to get a Aux diesel tank and pump on the property that way you have large amounts of fuel on property at all times and just have someone come fill the tanks periodically. That way can run all your machines, generators, etc.
Please have the swing face the view..
Genay...
Happy Birthday!
House looks better each time you show it. June seems a long time away, but you'll have your life there...
🙏🙏💗💗
I legit can't wait to see the final touches when it's completely done omg
The swing gotta face the view, c'mon!
Happy birthday, Genay! Hope Luke spoiled you!
You had the perfect chance to play all stars by smash mouth when the video started😅😂
Happy Belated Birthday Genay!
Nice operating my dude. Make sure you do a 360 check every time you move. I know you're out of the way with no one around, but bad habits can lead to bad accidents. Stay safe and keep the awesome videos coming!
Cartoonz looks like he's driving a mech
Watching these videos really just shows how much time has passed because I would watch cartoons EVERYDAY as a kid and just seeing this journey makes me tear up a little
nothing beats a skid steer. there are so many accessories you can load up to a skid steer to make it useful for virtually any situation.
ima be honest yall, having worked on a ranch where we had a bad grass fire that scorched a few trees. theres a high chance that trees gonna die. especially to that degree BUT you never know! Try getting some tree wound sealer to replace the burnt/destroyed bark. oh and a tip about getting a tractor please for the love of god dont get a john deere XD maybe go for a kubota.
Swing facing the view probably. At least it's what I'd want personally.
3:30 Those are Boxelder Beetles, they are harmless native bugs who feed on maple seeds.
Happy Birthday Genay!
I think facing the view would be a great look for the swing, with some side tables or a big rocks as a platform on each end would be a good idea.
At work I run an e35 open cab and I agree you definitely want a close cab
Bobcat, sponsor this man! lol I too will be so sad if that persimmon tree is too torched to live...keep us updated! 🙏
Those boxelder bugs are very common but they like to come with a lot of them. They’re harmless no worries! I’ve always called them painted ladies cause they look like they’re painted lol.
It looks so good now that all the stone is up, and yes it looks sick around the door. Y'all made great choices. Congrats on the new equipment, and a very happy belated birthday to Genay!!! I hope you had an amazing day!!🥳🎁🎂💙
Love watching the progress and toy collection grow.
Happy birthday Genay🎉
I love the new equipment and please make more videos of using them. Your house is getting so beautiful!
About the swing, let it face out towards your lovely landscape.
Finally, happy birthday Genay
My parents have had a septic tank for 40yrs about 25yrs ago my father had a larger one put in , I think it has had to be emptied twice , they are not bad you just need to find a solid one and put it level with the house so the rain water won't run back into them , put tablets in the toilet like twice a year to help decompose what's in there , My ex bought a house in Mississippi that actually had a water purifier inside the tank that purified the water and it is what was used for the sprinklers for the garden / yard. . worth looking into imo , they get a bad rap for some reason but ours has never leaked or caused any issues ever. and you are right they want to annex you in order to have city septic , and that my friend is city taxes , all kinds of regulations on farm life. I would carry my shit out in buckets before I let someone annex you.
congrats tooonz!!! this looks amazing. once all the plumbing and electrical is finalized the building process goes by super quick so you should be in your house in no time. well hopefully never know with contractors lol
Casa Toonz is looking tremmendous
Been waiting to finally see all the work being done
Happy birthday, Genay! 🎉🎂
And yay for new toys! I love watching the progress on the house build as well as the other vlogs you occasionally do on the channel. I've learned quite a bit and it makes me itchy to build my own home some day lol
Happy birthday Genay! I say the swing facing the view. You could always change it later in life. Damn, it's been a long time coming and the house is almost here. It looks amazing!
Happy birthday, genay! And luke with more toys is always great!!
A swivel option would be best but if only choosing one or the other, definitely a view towards the nature would be best. You can have a bench large enough for the two of of you to sit and chat or for when Genay wants to curl up and read a nice book. Either way, love the progress and excited for the finished product! 🙌
Happy Birthday Janay
Happy Birthday Genay! and I would say the View is top tier for the swing!
Since you started with the track loader, I would say the next logical choice would be a mini excavator. That being said, I would make sure you actually need one before purchasing a mini excavator. Otherwise, I would say rent one when you need one. The compact tractors are nice if you actually need one, but a skid loader and compact excavator will work circles around those little tractors. I would only really consider a tractor for pulling a tiller, drag, small wagons or if you want one with a finish mower.
As far as brand choice goes, I don't think it matters. They are all going to break / have issues. Having a good dealer nearby for support is probably the most important factor when choosing what machine to buy .
Happy birthday genaaay!
Do a tractor man. You can get a 3 point hitch backhoe attachment. N you'll be able to get a rototiller attachment for the garden n pull a trailer
Happy birthday Genay!! Also can’t wait for the to see the end product!
Happy birthday!! Hope you had a great day Genay!
Great stuff. Sir! Happy Birthday Miss Genay!
Happy birthday Genay! Great video dude.. house looks great.
happy birthday Genay
Should also get a grading bucket to go along with the tooth bucket. It will help with developing your property.
Happy Birthday, Genay!!! I hope it was awesome!!!
HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY, GENAY!!!
Also, with the swing, I would say that it depends on what you prioritize more. I would have it facing the driveway if you're looking for the view. I would also suggest having it facing towards the front door if you want to face any guest who may be joining you on your front porch. Just something to think about.
Happy birthday Genay!!🎉
38:29 Happy Birthday 🎉🎉
Gary seems like a really nice guy.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, Genay 🎂 🥳 🎉 🎊
You look dapper young man that shirt looks nice and that cut looks clean yes indeed 🤠
Happy BIrthday Genay!!
The great thing with that black is you will rarely need to use heat as long as the sun's out during atleast 6 hrs a day it will hold heat and let it in at night. Had this in my house in KY and damn it gets HOT never used the heat once
Happy birthday Genay!
Happy Birthday Genay!!
Happy birthday Genay 🎉🎉
Can't wait to see the finish house. Also Happy Belated Birthday Genay.
Happy birthday Genay!!! 🍻
The swing towards the view is definitely better IMO. Congrats on new equipment Toonz!
Happy birthday Genay🎉
Just recently rewatched gas station sim vids and you said you wanted a machine like that for your house. how cool to see you buy one now!
Happy Birthday Genay, hoping your day was special.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY GENAY! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Happy birthday genay!
Happy birthday Genay and nice skip
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, GENAY!!
Happy Birthday Genay! 😁
Awesome new toy, and the house is looking good as always! 🤙🏻
13:24 cartoonz!!! You just casually walked past that rare Chevy HHR SS without even looking ???? 🤯🤯🤯
The lip sync on the “Hello there” at the beginning was perfect
😗🤌
Nice work editor
Happy birthday Genay
Happy Birthday Genay 🥳
Happy belated birthday Genay🎉,And for the swing i think it would be best if faced towards the scenery
happy birthday genay!! :D also, what if u did the swing at an angle? like so it swings in and out of the corner? but if there isn’t enough room for that, i’d say swinging facing the front door, it’s more natural when conversing and you can always lay down to see the view.
Happy birthday Genay!
Also for the porch swing, while I've mostly seen them perpendicular to the house, out there with that view, be better to have it facing out towards the land/lake rather than the side of the house.
Happy Birthday Genay
Happy birthday Genay 🎊🎉❤️
When Cartoonz talked about a new toy, all I could think was "It's the Claw. Claw is our master. Claw chooses who will go, and who will stay." As for my vote, it will always be to face and enjoy the view.
I'm glad you always take the time to give recognition and shout out to the local businesses.
Happy belated birthday, Genay!
Happy Birthday 🎉
man i heavily love the style of this house, it tingles my senses :), I could never have such a big house/ land over here in Belgium.
With the DEF you want to fill up after every two fill ups of diesel you can get a def tank delivered to your property and you can get a diesel tank as well
The t870 has a hydraulic piston for the tracks vs grease piston so it automatically keeps tension on the tracks at all times soon as you turn the machine on.
I look so forward to seeing your videos. You rule.
❤😊😮. Happy birthday Genay and Great Video Guys 😊❤.
Happy Birthday Mrs Toonz🎈I hope it was a fun day 🥳
Happy belated birthday Genay
You're gonna be living in my dream house pretty much.
Such a beautiful piece of architecturea
Happy belated birthday Genay an i can't wait to see more of this cartoonz much loves to ya guys and hope you have a great day/night ❤️
HAPPY BDAY GENAY!!!!!! 🎉
"Don't laugh at me."
Me: Toonz isn't Toonz if he doesn't laugh when someone he may, or may not, be close to messes up or says something silly.😂
if you can buy a step bigger then you think you need.
people always regret it to save money then regret not getting a bigger one.
but the E55 will do some damage, rip trees down and move them across the property.
personally skid steer.
i would get a Multcher/Bucket/grapple claw / Snow Plow/ forks
ability to turn in a small area and good agility is so nice.
tractors are nice but i like skid steers more, the backhoe it is a quicker attach similar to one i used and takes about 20 mins to swap from backhoe to brush hog. its a few pins, remove hoses, mine luckily has a lever to lower the hydraulic arms from outside helps with lowering and pickup attachments when removing and get the holes lined up.
God I wish I was like Cartoonz so badly.🤩 Also for the swing in the porch I personally would have it facing the view of your yard but I can definitely understand why you would like it up against the wall. But that's just me, hope everything is coming along smoothly.
