Post-Clearing Assessment and Equipment Damage

um um [Music] [Applause] i told you i'd be dirty man i'm not that dirty i'm just soaking wet we had a huge downpour come while i was right in the middle of mowing out here and some of this stuff was just too much for the tough cut and we're talking about trees that are like this big as big as your arm but guys what a difference if you look out through here i don't know if you remember what this looked like before i'll try to get you a little image of what it looked like before and now look at what it looks like now it really just turned this field around i've got some more toys and tools that we're going to be bringing out here tomorrow so we've got a brush hog for the front of the skid steer and we're going to work on that the pond is over here i don't know that i even want to get the ventrac out on the pond because most of the stuff is about that big and the ventrac is broke i'll show you what happened one of the pulleys i guess it just hit something just i got into stuff that's too big i think it's rated for two inch um which is that big and i'm cutting stuff that big so i knew i was gonna break something today it's not a good day if you don't break something got poured down on by the rain but man look at that what a vast improvement that little ventrac it just kicks butt um there's still a little bit of stubble left up and you can still see some brush so the landowner will have to come in here and pile up some of the brush but what we're probably going to try to bring out here over the next three days is a brush hog for the front of skitty bop and we've got a dan user tree puller slash cutter so it will grab onto a tree and pull it up and that's perfect for these little pine trees out here so awesome let's go over here to the ventrac and i'll show you what i broke i knew i was overdoing it and when you overdo it well that's what you want you want your youtuber you want your guy on youtube to test the equipment in a heavy heavy duty situation and this was heavy heavy duty let me show you what broke it was just a pulley on the tough cut there is a guard right here you can see all the brush on the top of the tough cut raise this guard up and the pulley that i lost was the central pulley right there you see it flopping that is what drives the the blades underneath there and what happened was i sucked in a piece of brush about that big and what it does two blades spin one way one blade spins the other way and it just draws that brush in and mulches it up…
