@deegmoss2609 ай бұрын
It’s definitely seasonal. But you can always put in contracts with line companies and silt fence installers, that’s steady work for sure. If I fell any trees I ask if they want them removed. If they say so I’ll just take them. Just make sure you have it contractually written down. Thanks a lot and thank you for watching.

Your choices with kudzu are limited. Fire, digging it out or maybe some goats to keep it at bay. The goal is to exhaust its carbohydrate supply from its root ball to kill it. Herbicides are generally ineffective due to price and how much you need to apply to keep it killed back. I spray for Class 1 railroads and in the south kudzu is an absolute beast in some remote stretches of rail.

That took around 6 hours with the breakdowns and maintenance! Price depends on the job! Right now I charge around $200 an hour for the mulcher. I usually negotiate a daily rate with the customer and try to make sure the price is fair. That dollar amount per hour is the going rate around here and usually separates the serious customers from the tire kickers. Hope that helps.

You Butt is in the seat for 24 hrs straight or more. Just a note. You could have done the same thing with the kudzu using a 6’ bush hog brand model #406 cutter mounted to a 75hp 4WD 7520 Mahindra tractor with equipment cost of +/- $25,000 or less. And it’s a lot easier to repair when you damage it vs. your $100,000 plus set up.

Suggestion : for next time have firetorch to cut out the cloth
Great idea!
Lance, I see your frustration. But you are making a big difference. Is the subdivision planning on new homesites on those neglected areas? That area on this video looked like a cul-de-sac with room for new houses.
They are planning to transform the site into a garden. So hopefully they get it fixed up!
Warum sieht man dort niemanden der da vorher durchgeht um Tiere zu verscheuchen?
Spray it
Them folks need some cows 😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
How long did it take you and how much do you charge per hour?
That took around 6 hours with the breakdowns and maintenance! Price depends on the job! Right now I charge around $200 an hour for the mulcher. I usually negotiate a daily rate with the customer and try to make sure the price is fair. That dollar amount per hour is the going rate around here and usually separates the serious customers from the tire kickers. Hope that helps.
Plant some sweet potatoes and that kudzu will die back it will not return
Did you ever try hiring out goats to eat the kudzu
I brought it up! Idk if the HOA did anything!
You loader arm should not be drifting down like that. Holding valve could be the problem
I’m getting it looked at soon. I’ve seen many JCB’s do this. So it must be a common problem!
watch for stings
Mentally tough….physically tough…. REALLY!!! All work is that and more in the real world!! Welcome to life brother.. try farming sometime on a large scale whe. You Butt is in the seat for 24 hrs straight or more. Just a note. You could have done the same thing with the kudzu using a 6’ bush hog brand model #406 cutter mounted to a 75hp 4WD 7520 Mahindra tractor with equipment cost of +/- $25,000 or less. And it’s a lot easier to repair when you damage it vs. your $100,000 plus set up.
Hey there Gene, I help my family farm 700 acres here in NC on top of a full time job. This isn’t counting the skid work and mulching. Trust me I know what you’re talking about. I’m sure there are others that work way harder and I commend that. Hard work does pay off. Thanks.
Cutting that plant up your only gonna spread it and cutting of thay plant 3 inch or larger will grow another plant buddy
Just doing what I was asked to do buddy.
My zero turn would cut that in 30-min. No problem!
Haha I’d like to see that!
Goats, this is a job for goats.
I actually recommended that. The HOA may do that buts it’s next to a seriously busy highway.
At some point it’s better to protect the machine, unfortunately we don’t learn this until it’s too late
Why would you buy anything with HOA,NO GOOD BASTUREDS...
Where are Your Goats ?! 😅
I need some for sure! Too bad this site is in the city!
Background sound around 20mins in sounds like "first 48" sorrow song. Please find more motivating, active songs for these videos. Song choices are depressing for an awesome work like this you are doing.
Will do. Thanks for the comment!
I would burn it
If houses weren’t so close I would have had the fire dept. out there doing just that.
Don‘t kill that happy little bush!
People can be trashy
🦘❤️❤️❤️
trying to cover somone elses mess by making it even werse you shuld have never went in there to ruin the pristine state that was messed with nature can't be impruved upon it can only be taken away
That area I cleared is now a community Garden, where the neighborhood HOA grows and maintains a large assortment of plants and animals alike.
to much complaining
Time lapse & sound tracks rule. Try narrating too. Good job. 👍👍
All that stuff is most likely left over from the building of the development.
That used to be a silt fence.
