MAJOR Progress! Our 1970s Compound Backyard Clearing Begins!

Watch on YouTube

What happens here

The video begins by showing the heavily overgrown state of the property, which was once dense woodland extending close to the house. The initial clearing efforts involved borrowing heavy machinery, specifically a Kubota BX2370 sub-compact tractor and a Caterpillar 277 skid steer, from a generous acquaintance. The owner notes that only a smaller John Deere lawn tractor is owned, highlighting the need for heavier equipment for this task.

Goal: Understand the scope of work and gather necessary heavy equipment.

Tools and materials

  • Caterpillar 277 Skid Steer Caterpillar — Heavy-duty clearing and moving large debris
  • John Deere 455 Garden Tractor John Deere — Lawn maintenance and light hauling (used later in the project)
  • Kubota BX2370 Sub-Compact Tractor Kubota — Initial clearing of saplings and brush

What they say

Hide

When we bought this place back in October, we would have been standing 50 ft in the woods right now. And in this video, we're going to show you how we got here. If peeing your pants is cool, then call me Miles Davis. >> A lot of hard work and sweat and cuts. >> Somebody who found us through one of the previous videos was gracious enough to let us borrow these machines, but they didn't want to be in the video. So, that's where they came from. We don't own anything except that little John Deere right there. Lauren. Lauren.
