What happens here

The owner's partner, Shelby, demonstrates using a John Deere 455 garden tractor with a small utility trailer to haul brush and debris. She also learns to operate the Caterpillar 277 skid steer with the grapple attachment, maneuvering it to pull out stumps and logs from the ground. The owner jokingly mentions he 'did not tell her to do this,' highlighting her initiative and increasing involvement in the project.

Goal: Showcase diverse equipment usage and team effort in clearing.

everything with this and I've only got three dots out of four. Amazon Prime Day's coming up and you can get yours at the link in the description. Look at those blades. I still can't help but thinking that this this grade ideally should be continued on to take this whole hump out of this this here. I just wish we could do that without getting rid of that big tree right there. I really like this one. Maybe we can. I don't I don't know, but you could make this whole thing a lot flatter cuz this and this are kind of on the same elevation, very close to. Closer anyway. If we knock this little hump out here and kind of like pushed it out, it would really open this up even more. I had to go inside and get a video finished up to publish it later that day. And Logan got to drive the dang thing before I did. True to her methodology of working [music] on anything, she wastes no time going full throttle straight to a tree. >> Back up. >> Yep. Now back up. And then open up your grapple all the way. And then dig the dig the spikes in underneath the roots and you can pop them up. >> I need to go further back and then go >> Yeah, a little bit. Give it lots of throttle, too. Don't be afraid of the throttle. >> I walk away for 5 minutes to go do a revision for an ad integration and we got Logan out here learning how to use a skid steer. If you ever can't find me someday, start digging. >> Now, just curl it up. >> Keep going? >> When you get underneath it, curl it up. >> You can tell that Mitchell's having a lot of fun with this. >> Now, after having had a few hours under my belt of using the little Kubota and being more familiar with the mechanics of the buckets and all that jumping into this thing was a lot easier for me to pick up on and I started having a lot of fun a lot quicker cuz I could do a lot more. >> If it looks like I know what I'm doing, I'm good at faking it cuz I'm just driving around and knocking stuff over. >> You are actually really good at it. >> I don't know what I'm doing. I just >> You picked up on it really fast and you were actually like leveling it like a professional. >> Really? >> Yeah, that's what it looked like to me. >> If that's actually how you do that, that was lucky guess. I just I think it makes me look good because I don't stop moving around so it looks like I know what I'm doing cuz I never stopped to think. I just keep it going.…
