Thanks Andrew, I loved it, I'm retired now but it brought back great memories of doing the same type of rock breaking tasks with Kubota KH41s and 8 yd scoop trams with rockbreaker mounted where the 8 yd bucket would be all underground in the mines of Timmins ON Canada!
Every time I’m impressed by Andrew’s honesty: he doesn’t cut the part when he put in the wrong way the filter’s valve. It can be precious to know for other people. That is more important than look errors-proof. I’m also impressed by his handling abilities, to flip the hydraulic hammer with just the end of the boom is not for everyone. I bet if I try I can stay there a day long!

I’m pretty sure he said these roads are 2 miles or something. That would take a very long time to clear and isn’t all that necessary.
First off, I believe this is the third Andrew post in about a week which is a treat for us subs. Man that rig makes sapling cleanup a breeze. Keeping them down improves the health of older growth trees. Barbed wire was a God send for cattle and dairy farms. Goats and sheep herders as well. Pigs laugh at it and just dig under it. Most likely there was a sheep or goat farm due to the hilly nature of that area. Crop farming would be impossible.

Sometimes magic happens. Andrew is a master of the machine, an artist, a natural maestro in working with equipment. If he were a typical working schlub, he would not have the time to do the things he does. But because of the natural mix of KZread / Andrew, he gets the funding to make it all happen. I have watched him from the beginning, and am happy to subscribe and always give a 'thumbs up' if it helps keep these videos coming. I have learned a lot from him, and laughed a lot at his subtle humor. This is my favorite youtube channel --- always a treat.

I watch a few channels were they have those mowers attached to a skid steere. very impressive.
That Flail on the Kubota is quite impressive. Your 3 mile road up Camarata Mountain will need that to keep the brush down. It wont take you long with that rig. Owning properties comes with its own maintenance problems...lol. Good Job Andrew!

My thoughts exactly
Rock hammering and Mowing with an open cab machine somebody is a brave man. The mower looks like a US mower clone/copy the only difference that mower has the dog plate for picking up logs with the thumb. The only caveat with that is you need the extra hydraulic function so you can run the thumb on the left hand joystick. Most machines don't have that unless you set it up for mower use. Yes the 20 GPM Fill rite pumps require you to make you're own draft tube I installed two of them on the fuel tanks at my previous job. Very expensive pumps they don't tolerate plugged filters thou, you run biofuel or bio blend diesel fuel you need to change the filters every 6 months.
Agree wholeheartedly with you on the barbed wire fence. That stuff shows up in the middle of nowhere and can change a simple job into a giant headache in no time.
