Hi, I'm JimHow. I dig dirt and all the toys used for digging dirt.

I am a heavy equipment operator here on Canada's Atlantic Coast, Nova Scotia. I operate my own Land Shaping Business in the warmer months and I work for the municipality plowing snow in the winter season.

This channel is a great opportunity to share my passions of operating heavy equipment and photography/film making. I hope you enjoy the channel and drop a comment! I really enjoy hearing back from viewers.

Thank you for tuning in!

Cheers from our home to yours,
Howie and Kelly (Mr. and Mrs. JimHow Digs Dirt)

    Yeah but it's best to cut the grass fairly low before power raking so it does a nicer job.

    The problem there is your wasting good soil, that has balled up with rolling down the screen. This is to much waste. Back to the drawing board. 75% of the waste pile is good balled topsoil.

    Without your excavator with the thumb, that looks like it would have been an almost impossible job. We had an icestorm in 2008 that just destroyed a small pine grove behind my home. Couldn't walk through it. Started on the outskirts and just kept cutting and sorting. I burned brush, limbs, shattered wood for a week in the Spring. Salvaged some, but everything was split inside from the weight they bore before shattering. It's enjoyable watching your skill.

    Someone has worked a felling crew for a couple years. it looks like the hurricane also did a good job of thinning down that stand. It looks like it needed it and There are years worth of stovewood seasoning now.

    That is a mess that is going to take years. At least you have things trimmed back to where you have some access. Too bad you didn't have a machine that could handle a full size logging head, it would have gone a lot faster I expect.

    Back in the late 1940’s/50’s. Farmers plowed the roads. In Michigan snow came down 2-6/inches per hour. I walked 2 miles to highschool. They gave us all we could eat plus take home to families. I also could do 4 hrs of football practice or basketball. The walk home was the toughest. Snow was deeper and in darkness. Family loved highschool cooks sending good food home to us. Small farm families appreciated their care for poorer rural farms. I walked sometimes fore two weeks and brought meals to my family. Cooks would say what do you need and how many members. Wrapped it up pack it in my back pack and home I went. I think my mom was a little jealous of the school cooks but she was also relieved!
