MECHANIC ADVICE NEEDED....BUILDING AN ATV/UTV BRIDGE...AND MORE!

What happens here

Larger branches and logs are identified and manually lifted. Due to their size and weight, a John Deere Gator utility vehicle (UTV) is employed to transport the collected woody debris. The team loads the UTV bed with as many branches and logs as possible to minimize trips. This process is crucial for clearing larger obstacles and making way for heavy equipment or construction materials.

Goal: Following the initial light clearing, the team transitions to moving heavier branches and logs, utilizing a utility vehicle for efficient transport across the property.

Tools and materials

so folks what I'm talking about with all this mud is the thought you look right here where we're making tracks here from the house to the goat pin is just gonna start making a big muddy mess you can see the tracks right here you can see this is just where we pulled up just now the ground is thawing it's wet it's nasty and we got to keep water storage up here so I've got to find a better solution for this or just keep a ton of buckets up here I don't know no new baby goats today by the way so guys this is what I'm talking about right here there sticks and logs large sticks out in the field all over everywhere these are just pieces that broke off while they were cutting the timber you can see there's like a log out here and just a few other pieces so got my help here we're gonna toss them out toss them back into the woods that's pretty much it with cleaning up of the sticks some of them gonna be small enough we can throw on the back of the Gator and we'll take them down to the fire booth so folks what we're gonna do here is just walk all around this whole field this is a 25 acre field we'll walk all the way around the whole thing and for all these limbs out we also have the forestry service folks coming today and we're gonna make some plans for replanting oK we've got several areas here on the farm then we're gonna go ahead and replant one of them is kind of right back in here there's probably out of a hundred and some acres maybe 110 acres we cut I'm probably gonna replant about 50 and we'll plant those back in a native pine species that we can harvest again and mmm probably 25 30 years we'll probably talk to the forestry got a little bit on the video either this video or I might just do a separate one will talk about replanting and reseeding and the thought process behind it but in the meantime we play pick-up sticks you don't want to get this caught in your hay baler [Music] folks I'm glad you're allowing me to take a little bit of the romance out of farming here we have a lot of work to do this is going to take us somewhere in the neighborhood of five to six hours just walking around picking up sticks you want to talk about some sore backs tomorrow Farms are beautiful they're a lot of work there's a lot of stakes so you might be asking yourself at this point why didn't the timber crew pick up after themselves well they paid good money for the timber their job isn't to clean up my job is to clean up after they leave so a lot of this will be taken back to…
