This won't be easy....Government forces me to take down my trees!

What happens here

The excavator is shown from various angles, including ground-level and drone shots, as the operator efficiently removes trees. The technique involves carefully pushing the tree over with the bucket, then using the grapple to lift and shake the root ball, effectively dislodging soil and debris. This process is repeated to clear multiple trees and create larger piles of woody material, ready for burning.

Goal: The video shows the excavator operator expertly removing trees by pushing them over and then cleaning the dirt from their root balls using the grapple and bucket.

all right guys thanks so much for watching the Stony Ridge Farm Channel today I really appreciate you being here this is a fun project this is a fun day here on the farm I'm super excited to be able to open up a portion of the woods right here for pasture land and open up a portion of the woods so that I can see for miles and miles and way out in the distance is the Blue Ridge okay and we can see up into Virginia so that's Floyd Virginia that's up on the Blue Ridge Parkway area beautiful beautiful view you just can't see it with these trees in the way and I could see it all winter long so what we're going to do is pluck out probably about an acre and a half of trees right here it's not something that's really I guess deforestation so much is taking back land that used to be crop land all of the land right here used to be tobacco farm and it got abandoned about 20 to 30 years ago and that's what you're seeing is 20 or 30 years of growth gr after abandonment we will be leaving some select trees some beautiful Maples and poppers so that we have a beautiful view and we have some beautiful trees to look at so let's just get through here plug through pluck out all this stuff and guys be sure you subscribe the channel stay tuned for the next video in the series when we get the loader out Frank my buddy that runs the loader is going to come out here and push all this stuff down in the woods we'll probably have a great big fire and get it all burned up and get this place squared away beautiful like it should so you can see here what I'm doing I'm just taking the bucket and I'm pushing the trees over when I push them over I grab them with the grapple on the bucket or the thumb and I pick them up and I slam them down and pick them up and I slam them down a couple times and the reason that I'm doing that is to get all of the dirt and top soil off of that root ball because we all know that dirt doesn't burn and eventually we're going to burn this brush pile down here because we have a pond project planned for the next 5 years or so down in this Valley beside where I'm working you know guys I really don't like tearing out these trees um however this is the kind of thing sorry I'm talking and working here uh this is the kind of thing that uh just has to be done in order to beautify your property I know I get a lot of FL from people not wanting any trees cut ever and you just can't manage a property like this without cutting trees and and clearing land like this you you…
