Clearing Land, Fence lines and Brush with Skid Steer | Steep Grade!

What happens here

The video introduces a 150-acre first-generation cattle farm. The overall objective is to clear pathways through wooded sections of the property to facilitate rotational grazing for the cattle. This involves segmenting the pastures to allow grass to recover, a practice crucial for sustainable farming. The farmer highlights the extensive nature of the farm and the need for efficient land management. He introduces his Gehl RT210 compact track loader, affectionately named 'Peanut', which will be used for the clearing operation. He briefly mentions having around 50 cows and 85 acres of usable, fenced pasture. The video sets the stage for a significant land clearing and management project.

Goal: The farmer introduces his large cattle farm and the necessity of clearing wooded areas to establish a system of rotational grazing for livestock, explaining the purpose and scope of the project.

OH, FOLKS, TODAY ON THE STONY Ridge Farm Channel, oh, we're going to try and clean this mess up with a skid steer. It's going to be fun. You guys are going to learn. We're going to have a good time. Woo! Hey folks, this is Josh Stony Ridge Farmer. Welcome back to another gorgeous day here on the Stony Ridge Farm. This is Peanut. Peanut is a Gale RT210 skid steer. And what we're going to be doing, well, compact track loader to be exact. What we're going to be doing today is clearing some pathways through the woods back here so we can section off different areas of pasture for the cattle. This is going to be a real fun video.

Right now I've got the rock picker on this machine and as you can tell, we call this the Stony Ridge Farm for a reason, guys. We'll get you a little footage of the rock picker as we get ready, get all of our equipment together, and start cutting trails through the woods. Woo! Welcome to the farm, folks. This is a 150-acre first generation cattle farm. It is huge. It is absolutely overwhelming. I moved from a third of an acre in town onto this piece of property. Now, I did grow up in the country and I came back here in my mid-30s because I wanted to get away from town and the hustle and bustle of town because it's not a hustle and bustle in town compared to this. I wanted to get back out into the fresh air. You can do this. If there's any inspiration for you guys to have, you can do it. I'm a normal average guy. I can do it. You can do it. We all can do it and you can learn a little bit about it here on the Stony Ridge Farm Channel. So, I hope you're subscribed and I hope you'll watch this video all the way to the end. So, this is my Gale RT210. It is a
