What happens here

The video continues with drone footage, offering a broader perspective of the cleared and untouched land. The creator discusses the efficiency of the Caterpillar 963B loader and the cost associated with its operation (approximately $100 per hour). He also highlights that the timber was cut roughly one and a half to two years prior, allowing stumps to rot and making them easier to remove. The drone flies over additional areas, including a significant creek, that are slated for future clearing, aiming to create more cleared pastureland, potentially 15-20 acres.

Goal: Evaluate the current clearing progress and outline plans for future land transformation.

desirable than what the 953 is so the 963 requires a lowboy tractor-trailer to move it and a 953 you can move it with a dump truck and a smaller trailer so you can pick up a 963 cheaper than a 953 you can see the Creek right here is another cut over directly in front of us and we'll be able to see from our house when we build our permanent home we'll be able to see straight up through here this will all be pasture land all the way up through all the way to the very tip-top and at the top a cur it gets really steep and rocky and we replanted Pines right there but we cut all the timber on here and we left a few select trees right in the middle that's going to be somewhere in the neighborhood of 15 acres maybe 20 acres of cleared pasture and you can see this bubbled out area I guess a pasture it looks like a there's an extra dark green area there kind of in the in the distance and you can see two stripes in that field that's where the clover hopper got clogged up so that feels extra green because it's extra clover we learned a bit of a lesson when we went to Polyface farm and Swope virginia it's Joel Salatin's farm we got out of the car and we spoke about how green it is and why his farms greener than the rest of the farms and I look down at the grass and I was like well it's full of clover clover fixes nitrogen nitrogen makes stuff green so we planted a lot of clover in with our fescue grass when we replanted we're cruising over the goats right now that's the premier one fencing that moveable netting electric netting and we put the goats in right here this is our old corn patch and we let them eat the corn down let them kind of go to it and put down some good old but fertilizer for us so go to eat anything they'll they'll just chil these weeds down and we'll throw some hay into them pretty soon we'll start feeding them hay all that hay that's out in the field the goats it's like 15 goats and they'll eat one round bale which weighs close to a thousand pounds they'll eat that in about a week trees are pretty they're changing color right now I'm giving you a perspective right now of the front yard and you can see this land was cleared last fall and you see how much brighter green color it is than the field across the way well the field across the way didn't get any fertilizer last year in the field right here underneath us did so there's a grand perspective of the pond we own you see the blacktop Road on the other side of the pond we own 40 acres there so…
