NOT the BEST way to get the GRAVELY down a 40 foot drop #2

What happens here
This video demonstrates the technique for safely moving heavy equipment, specifically a Gravely Pro-QXT walk-behind brush cutter, down a steep, overgrown incline using a controlled descent system. It involves initial site assessment, minor path clearing, setting up a rope-based lowering system with a support vehicle's winch (though manual control is later used for the descent), and then carefully maneuvering the equipment down the slope. The primary focus is on managing heavy loads in challenging terrain to enhance safety and operational efficiency.

(5,799 characters)oh it's safety hooked right here then there's a bar right there she should go down hold on let me get her touching and touching nah dude listen to the connection no because that's you can hear it drawing down on the truck yeah yeah so it's your it's the wedge it's gotta be right i would can if we get a snap in a chain i can lower you down with the truck just you know hook it tight to here and then just slowly hold keep coming forward with it same thing coming out yup but we need a long long strapping too otherwise i'll go get a chap stop dude i got no i got a long one oh i got a tie-downs okay i got i got regular strap okay let's get this should we throw this in the back of your truck uh we'll just set it off so frankie's gonna run and get his long rope and i'm gonna go down to the bottom and start seeing what we're getting into boy it's a mess oh i can't clear over this i'm gonna have to hand pick that out [Music] hmm [Music] and it goes that way a ways but it's more of the same and they figure what we're going to be going through today definitely safety google type of conditions because there might be some stuff a flying i don't know if this gravely's gonna tackle this though i don't think so the heck was that looks like a horse hitch which honestly it could be a horse hitch that's not a horse hitch that's for tubes yeah you grew up in the city too out here this would be a horse hitch could be could be not absolutely but it could be that's what i'm saying and that's what makes it fun knowing that that's still a thing that's what i love that's what i love knowing that it's still a thing [Music] i hope frankie brings a chainsaw i'm gonna be cutting some of this crap out what the heck is what kind of tree is this a walnut no what are those what the heck this is eight by uh japanese beetle a lot of japanese beetle damage boat what kind of tree is that i know what kind of tree it is it's in the way kind of tree how's that work huh i'm tired i haven't even gotten the machine down to the bottom yet i bring that one rope you want to walk that down there so i'll know when it's to the bottom so i only got one deal to deal with one one piece of gold ten four you know what i'm saying when did you get this one i just got it would you just buy it we don't have enough chainsaws between the two of us i've never i've never owned johnswood that's a good little shop dude we have like 53 chainsaws but is it a john's route a red max or something i don't know i think redmax is john with mexico red max yeah i don't know but i know they're like a few of these are interconnected right yeah so i think red max and john's room may be the same thing all right what are we doing frankie i'd say down the down route [Music] yeah we got plenty eh yeah cause you can still park up on the pad [Music] yeah hell this just might be as good as a winch any old day of the week can park right up here [Music] she's steep huh frankie yeah but i'm wondering if we should hook the machine up bass backwards and lower it yeah we do have a it looks like i don't know if this is a lifting hook or is this for the can't remember this might be for the snow blower i don't know if i want to hook up to that but we got a pretty strong push bar here if we hook up to the front and backwards yeah we could go backwards right i don't see why we couldn't and we want to get her down as fast as possible because this fuel tank is going to leak she's plumb full because of course i did that right before we got up here because that's the smart thing to do that way all the fuel can pour out as we're going down the hill down in two units no no that won't come disconnected or nothing right oh yeah no i mean but going down the hill won't no it's safety hooked right here then there's a bar right there she should go down we'll find out so let's go pass that i'm gonna have to back up until i got the rope up here you know what i'm saying i got back up and then i didn't that's what i'm gonna do i'm just gonna keep going forward that way when i get on the slab i know you're at the bottom okay all right i'll help you get in the right spot we made it that was almost like we knew what we were doing dude that was pretty good not too bad huh yeah that was pretty good hey do you want to hear about the sketchiest thing i ever did i think what like literally legitimately one of the sketchiest things in my life i had to excavate out i was building a retaining wall on a shoreline exactly like this yeah on a hill just like this and i had a rubber tire backhoe and my john deere 450 excavator tried one to the other i did i anchored the john deere up top and i lowered the back the rubber tire backhoe down the side of the hill and hung it off the side as i quick dug everything and then hiked it back up yeah how do polox live i don't know that's all i want to know how do we how do we survive our stupidity what's that we don't live to a very old age no we don't thank you frankie all right be gonna leave the rope right here yeah so i'll uh i'm just gonna go to work all right all right guys well we finally got the gravely to the bottom of the hill so the real work can start but is it going to be a powerful enough machine to actually tackle what we've got to do at it and what are we going to find once we start getting into it these are all questions that will be answered tomorrow because this is the week that we're going to be releasing videos back to back to back every single day this week we're going to be releasing a video and then next week it's back to our regularly scheduled programs on monday wednesdays and fridays at 6 p.m central standard time that's all we got for you on this one hopefully we'll see you tomorrow when the real work starts god bless go get them catch you later guys
