Day1: Taking out a farm site | Cutting & Pushing over trees, grubbing stumps & Demolition

What happens here

With tree stumps and brush cleared, the skid steer is used to demolish an old, heavily compacted concrete retaining wall. The demolition grapple effectively breaks apart the concrete and cinder block structure. The broken concrete pieces are then scooped up by the skid steer's bucket and loaded into the dump truck. The initial loads are noted to contain a lot of mixed dirt, indicating the need for better separation to ensure only clean concrete debris is transported.

Goal: Completely remove the concrete retaining wall and load the debris into a dump truck.

knows how he's doing as we work our way through the site we alternate between cutting and clearing out trees and brush and taking out the brick concrete retaining wall the first few loads of concrete coming out are dirty and wasteful what that means is we've got too much dirt mixed in with the concrete and that's got to change so Tim Flynn and running a stump rubber for the skid loader they said let's just give the beat to try it's got the massive jaws it's time let's see if it could pop out stuff before we read it one so you'll see him shaking that stump off that's because we've got to get all of the dirt off the place we take the stumps in a wood doesn't accept dirt so those stumps have to be cleaned when we can take but not all of the stuff come out as nice as that first one so Tim works his way around the stump trying to break the support please it has what we call feeder roots and support roots support roots are these giant strong roots that hold the tree in place while the feeder roots are the ones that give it all its nutrients and water we've got a take down beak to break through those supporters but we've got a wall in the way and that has to be taken care of before we can pop the stuff all right you guys this is where we're gonna leave it for today the next video we're gonna be tearing out the rest of this retaining wall and then we're gonna start focusing on the grading but we have a few unexpected surprises come up that we were not anticipating and we'll show you what those are on the next video god bless you guys go get them and hopefully we will see you on the next one
