Looks like that "pool" is shaping up nicely. For "not being a logger" you're doing pretty well in cutting up those trees without getting squashed. "Not getting squashed" is probably a good daily goal, too. Thanks for the video, take care.

Another day in the woods 🤗 Happy 4th Mike and family, and to our UTube family ❤️🤗🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

On the one hand, new tires for the 555 would be amazing and help a lot ( not being worn out they'd likely get better traction compared to what we're seeing here )....on the other hand new tires would be ridiculously expensive and patches/plugs are comparatively cheap. Budget being what it is, can't blame ya at all for going with option 2

Hi Mike. It's pretty easy for someone to tell you to upgrade your equipment when they aren't shelling out the coinage. Even used equipment is really pricy if you're not using it daily to make money with. I have a little dirt work to do around my homestead, but it isn't enough to justify renting equipment. I will be using the original mini excavator, also known as a shovel! The area around the pool is shaping up nice. You can see the vision more clearly now!

Good job captain

A big water tank and a pressure washer will be the ticket for the final cleanup on that rock wall . Or a big job site compressor , the ones they use to run jackhammers , and , a big blow nozzle will also work very well . BTW , the entire region is " Karst " , and by region I mean virtually everything between the Appalachians and Western Oklahoma , and , the Great Lakes down to the Gulf . It sure makes life interesting on a number of levels . Ponds and lakes appear and disappear, houses get built and sometimes they disappear, along with roads and parking lots , the odd Corvette museum , etc . Whoever coined the phrase " solid ground " never encountered Karst terrain .

The little Ex does well when properly used. I think you need a day a month with Aaron and Mike. That would be quality entertainment.

Happy 4th of July to everyone. It's my Bebita Wife Maria's and I 21st anniversary. It's nice to see a new episode from the Captain working with the 555.

Might be a lot of work but I saw a guy made some "rubber tire chains" out of strips cut out of an old tire. Similar to the "TerraGrips" product you can buy for small tractors. They still used a ring of chain to bind them together but the traction part was all rubber paddles.

@Captain Kleeman - Chains can speed up your work. Buy once, cry and curse twice. Spend the money on proper chains, that's where you cry and curse the first time. Install the chains on the backhoe by cleaning the dirt off the tires and let most of the air out of the tires to get the chains on easier. Then reinflate the tires, that's when you cry or curse the second time trying to figure out why it took 3 hours to get the chains on verses the 15 minutes the instructions suggest it'll take per tire.

@CaptainKleeman

29 күн бұрын

Let me know when they're in the mail 👍

You should get some logging change that go on the skidder tires ,and you can put them on your tractor tire to get some traction, you may have to make modifications to fit your tires so they won't spin as bad or at all.

A fella might want to put rocks in the back of the boom Bucket to weigh it down and give more weight And traction to the worn out tires ... Keep up the good work.. PS. little more fast time Motion is always good

Add some weight to the rear tires by carrying a bucket load of dirt in the backhoe bucket it used to really help in slick conditions

I like it so far..will only get better..hope ya have a good 4th

Making a really cool spot in the woods even cooler 😊 Happy Independence Day ya'll! 🪨🚜⚓️🚧

👌👍

For better traction, fill that bucket on the back up with dirt to counter the weight that is on the front. You need to load that back end

Some nice wood for the shelter. Plunge pool is looking better. Still a little muddy to street tires to work.

Good, that's the firefighter in you to be Safety First...

I love how some people like to try and spend other peoples money when they say, "you need this or that" but they don't offer to pay for it.🤣 The plunge pool is coming along nicely as is the surrounding area.

Great old machine Mike just get yourself a good set of chains and maybe something to put in the bucket in the backhoe for weight

@ 16:25 for the retaining wall ( and I know you like free stuff ) find a concrete testing lab close to you ( or even not so close ) because after the slump test they pour the concrete in a cylinder ( appox. 6 in dia. by 12 in tall ) that they put in a press and squeeze just till a crack / but they consider them waste and are happy for people to haul away ( and yes I did work on the coal burning Power Plant in Rockport in the early 80's ) probably one in Evansville that you can bring some home from after each shift at the Fire House, concrete testing lab that is
