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.

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....
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!!

You know, when it snows, home owners have to shovel the driveways and all that? Cartoonz has like a mile long driveway xD

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.
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!
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.
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.
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
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... 🙏🙏💗💗
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

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.
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
We call those boxelder bugs. They're everywhere. Lol

Definitely looks like boxelder bugs, rough on trees/plants/gardens
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.
The swing gotta face the view, c'mon! Happy birthday, Genay! Hope Luke spoiled you!
I legit can't wait to see the final touches when it's completely done omg
You had the perfect chance to play all stars by smash mouth when the video started😅😂
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!
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.
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.
Happy Belated Birthday Genay!
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! 🙌
Bobcat, sponsor this man! lol I too will be so sad if that persimmon tree is too torched to live...keep us updated! 🙏
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 .
Swing facing the view probably. At least it's what I'd want personally.
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.
Love watching the progress and toy collection grow. Happy birthday Genay🎉
Happy birthday, genay! And luke with more toys is always great!!
Cartoonz looks like he's driving a mech
3:30 Those are Boxelder Beetles, they are harmless native bugs who feed on maple seeds.
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
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
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!!🥳🎁🎂💙
Should also get a grading bucket to go along with the tooth bucket. It will help with developing your property.
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
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 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.
36:37 Personally, I say "view for default when it's just you two, then move to conversation arrangement when you have a guest".
Happy birthday Genay! Great video dude.. house looks great.
At work I run an e35 open cab and I agree you definitely want a close cab
Happy birthday Genay!! Also can’t wait for the to see the end product!
Great stuff. Sir! Happy Birthday Miss Genay!
Happy Birthday Genay! and I would say the View is top tier for the swing!
Casa Toonz is looking tremmendous Been waiting to finally see all the work being done
I love this video because I follow the toonz era and if everyone knows with the mine craft KING TOONZ did pranks with the bugs and now the wifey toons is complaining about bugs . I love that it's soooo much fun and knowledge while the house is growing, and the channel. Keep it going toons love the content!!!
13:24 cartoonz!!! You just casually walked past that rare Chevy HHR SS without even looking ???? 🤯🤯🤯
Happy Birthday, Genay!!! I hope it was awesome!!!
Happy birthday!! Hope you had a great day Genay!
Can't wait to see the finish house. Also Happy Belated Birthday Genay.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, Genay 🎂 🥳 🎉 🎊
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.
Happy birthday Genay!!🎉
you guys should get one of those swinging daybeds! If you stained the wood to match your door, think it would balance out the front nicely.
The lip sync on the “Hello there” at the beginning was perfect 😗🤌 Nice work editor
Happy birthday genaaay!
Happy BIrthday Genay!!

Awesome new toy, and the house is looking good as always! 🤙🏻
Happy belated birthday Genay🎉,And for the swing i think it would be best if faced towards the scenery
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.
❤😊😮. Happy birthday Genay and Great Video Guys 😊❤.
Happy birthday Genay🎉
I'm glad you always take the time to give recognition and shout out to the local businesses.
Happy Birthday Genay! 😁
Gary seems like a really nice guy.
Happy birthday genay!
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.
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 🎉🎉
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.
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 ❤️
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
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
Happy birthday Genay 🎊🎉❤️
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 belated birthday, Genay!
Happy Birthday Mrs Toonz🎈I hope it was a fun day 🥳
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
You look dapper young man that shirt looks nice and that cut looks clean yes indeed 🤠
Happy Birthday Janay
I look so forward to seeing your videos. You rule.
Happy birthday Genay and nice skip
Happy belated birthday im loving everything the house and land of cause ur new toy to play with 😂 from kelly from uk
Happy birthday Genay
Lol you crack me up!! I love watching these videos and seeing how everything progresses.... BUT TOONZ I HOPE YOU SEE THIS GROUNDED HAS GOTTEN SOME UPDATES I WISH YOU'D REVISIT THAT GAME!! love y'all ❤❤ Edit: swing to the view.... You got an amazingly beautiful view swing towards it
Hey its really late im sure but happy bday to the best soubding goat ive ever heard.😂
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.
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.
If you run a mulcher you need a external cooler . A tractor is a very versatile piece of equipment with a abi rake .
