I bought a e43r. I had never ran anything that wasn't bailing hay when I was a kid. Alot of my projects you have videos of doing what I need to learn. Knowledge is power if you have the ability to share it in a way that people like myself can understand. For that sir I say thank you

You are right there is quite a bit of learning techniques and leverages and so forth. And best of luck with your new machine! They are incredible machines for sure!

Would be nice to see more footage like Andrew does, he points out how he does it and has more outside veiws of what hes doing

Finding more of your property is always fun.

Long story but I don't agree with the 'current theory' about EHD. You see a couple of years ago I believe it was New York state, they had a MASSIVE outbreak of EHD.. The only problem was that they also had record rains throughout the year, which means the 'muddy midge' theory did not comport.. Matter of fact with record rains, there was very little mud, or low water levels, yet they had a massive EHD outbreak. I listened to the podcast and the DNR rep was pretty much dumbfounded.. I live life by reality and common sense. So if there was a massive ehd outbreak with conditions completely opposite of what their current 'theory' is, how do explain that? Just my opinion and life experience.. Something to think about, thanks.

Love the Bob Cat Excavator video action, Kap. Man at 8:24 and 10:48 you got some good scoops of grouped trees moved out after they were pulled by their roots. Nice work. Dang it! I want AC tractor cab...NOW! It was 97 degrees today and will be in the 90's for another week. I know it gets hot but it's not even summer yet. This part of country is dang close to declaring a DROUGHT. We haven't had rain in a very long time. The green grass is turning brown. You definitely got a good handle on working that Mini-Ex. Full watch.

About to do some "Tractor Shed" modifications to be able to get the slightly taller cabbed tractor into the shed. I'll video the process. I haven't made any videos in quite some time.

How well does a mini excavator work on a slight incline? I have an acre of cleared flat land but wanting to clear about 2 more and the land slopes up a bit. How easy/hard is to flip one of these things?

@TF856

3 жыл бұрын

If your tracks are facing up and down the hill they don't turn over that easily but you should still be careful. You should be okay upto 30°, even if your tracks are going across the slope. I have worked on a 45° slope, but every machine is different. It's best to test your tip angle in a safe situation. That is with the boom on the downhill side so it cannot flip over.

If your luck is like mine, that pipe you dug up would never lead to the vault but instead would just be an old sewer pipe.👍🏻👍🏻LOL

hey, love this POV footage. Pretty cool. So what size of trees can you take down with these? I just recently got a crazy expensive quote for some excavation on a rocky mountain property. I'm wondering how well these will handle solid rock? do you know if you can you get rock smashing tool heads for them?

@kapperoutdoors

3 жыл бұрын

Well I'm sure you could rent/buy a jack hammer for a mini with hi flow. Don't know if you would need one or not? Trees that grow in rock are sometimes easier to pull out as the roots are not always that robust. But I know what you mean, big excavation is big money!! Hard to find the right solution that is most affordable. Good luck!

Thomas, I think Kap bought it some time back. You're right, those Mini-Ex are real nice. I looked at renting one in April for 30 days and it cost $2400-ish (delivered). I specifically wanted an enclosed cab w/ AC and a thumb. As the season progressed and got hotter, demand for them got greater and availability was less. Have a good one.

How long does it take to clear an acre with that thing?

@kapperoutdoors

2 жыл бұрын

Man it all depends on the size of the trees you are pulling. Bigger trees take way more time. But I'd say if they were smaller trees you can clear an acre probably in a day or so. Maybe half day, never really timed it out. Thanks

Joe, I wonder how much acres do you have right now in Illinois?
