What happens here

Utilizing drone footage, the video transitions to a large field where more significant clearing is underway. The focus shifts to areas described as 'gully washed' and 'cut over,' meaning timber has been harvested. The immediate task involves clearing these sections of dense brush and stumps to expand usable pastureland. A Caterpillar 963B loader is shown actively engaged in pushing and moving large stumps and debris, demonstrating the robust machinery required for such heavy-duty land transformation.

Goal: Clear initial areas of dense brush and stumps for pasture expansion.

gonna clear that we're gonna stump that down to the right the green grass is a little bottom and we're getting ready to cross another bottom you can see the sand in the bottom and there's a tree down and some brush piles pretty significant Creek right there we crossed over the creek this is 24 acres or 24 25 acres across the creek that we've replanted in pines and we'll revisit that at some point my property line is basically where the trees start on the right this is where the waterfall or Stoney Ridge waterfall is to the right and what we're gonna build the house is just directly up top of the screen from where the bulldozer is and you can see I say bulldozer but it's a caterpillar 963 loader you can see a little brush pile up there above him so he's clearing out and he's already got about a half an acre cleared and there's probably somewhere in the neighborhood of two or two and a half acres right here that he's gonna be pushing off what you can't see is that there's an elevation drop right here of about a hundred feet so it's kind of a hillside right here we'll get some close-ups here we'll get in here with us 963 and show you what's going on you see a few trees that I left the tree on the right side is a beech tree and this is a white oak tree that we're coming up on kinda to the center right of your screen so right now we cut the timber somewhere in the neighborhood of a year and a half close to two years ago I guess and the stumps haven't have had time to rot off in the ground and it's making it a whole lot easier for him to clear he's really really moving he's done all this and it's not even lunchtime yet so he's he's boogying down really today he only got to work about six hours out of an eight-hour day just started raining maybe even five hours very impressed with the speed this 963 loader he's charging me $100 an hour to be out here so you think it's 600 bucks for the day for today basically in 800 bucks per day for for every day and this guy can move now that 963 is a little bit less desirable than what the 953 is so the
