The more I see the black paint and big logo the more I like it. That machine is 🔥

Thanks, man! I think some folks thought I'd regret it, but I haven't yet!

Looks real nice Zach. Nice home site and view for you while you worked.
@zaccheusАй бұрын
Thanks Jon! It was a beautiful property to work on. The farm across the road spread poultry manner for a few of the days there we were there. But it was a pleasant place to work aside from that 😅

Looks good, I used to service that property years ago! Lol down on Bel 😂
@zaccheusАй бұрын
Haha, yeah, that's right! I was thinking of you when I was down that way. We did a lot there. Between what we did and what the homeowner did before us, I imagine it looks quite different from your time there 😅
@SpencerLawnCareАй бұрын
@zaccheus for sure, the pond out front needed some work! I'm not sure if they ever fixed it.
@zaccheusАй бұрын
@SpencerLawnCare It doesn't look too bad, but under the surface, it needs some structural work. The homeowner is planning to do some work on it himself, I believe.

Good stuff Zach. You make running that skid steer look easy. Especially when you scooped more stone on your left side of the bucket to fill the real deep spot down in the driveway. I know that was purposefully done. Impressive. Happy birthday to the wifey.
@zaccheusАй бұрын
Haha that's a keen eye you have the Clell. I started running skid steer when I was 14 on my uncle's farm. I've caught on to a couple of tricks over the years 😅

Absolutely! The more time I spend in it, the more I love it

Great job, man. You have a lot of skills.

Thanks Chris. It's all just stuff I've learned from working for different industries.

Not to get off the subject but I wonder if you have ever got to use a wrapter power ascender? I’m 70 and I want to keep climbing at least an other 10 years, so I saved and saved and bought one ! God I love it normally on a 70 ft climb I’d have to stop at least 3 times to test . With the wrapter it’s all the way up in under 15 seconds
@zaccheusАй бұрын
Haha I'm 28 and I stop to rest too 😂 I have heard of it and it looks like a fantastic device. I love that it was invented by a climber, too. There are a couple different power ascender devices. Some of the electric ones look really cool, but they're really expensive.

Makin me want a new machine mines a 2018 323e but still with foot controls im likin the hand controls for the bucket
@zaccheusАй бұрын
Ive heard goo things about the 323s! I grew up on foot controls, and I can probably work faster with them. Most people find the joysticks more intuitive to learn, though, and so that's why I got one with wobble sticks. I'm hoping I can put someone else in this thing to help me someday.

It’s wearied u not doing tree videos! If construction makes u happy go for it tree brother!
@zaccheusАй бұрын
Thanks for the support, Randy. It's just about where the money is and how hard I have to fight for it.
@randyshaffersr.785Ай бұрын
Oh I know how hard it is , and I know all about the fight brother! It’s great that u are versatile! I spent most of my 70 years of life as a journeyman mechanic, then turned to my art and started a sign painting business, then 20 years restoring antique cars and bikes ! Finally reached retirement age and took my ss and started climbing! And of all I’ve done in my life I found that I love climbing and rigging limbs so much !
@zaccheusАй бұрын
@randyshaffersr.785 Wow, man that's an incredible list of experiences. I'm glad you got to focus on art. I know lots of folks who would appreciate that opportunity to do such and thing.

Thanks Matteo! It's only got 125 or so hours on it right now.

Yea I know, I’ve been so busy with tree work lately, now it’s at a stop ! It’s good though I rat hole money so when it stops I have money to pay the bills.

That's what I have to do here too a little bit. The season slow down a lot in January
@robertvannicolo4435Ай бұрын
Zach got to admit so much better than climbing trees. Shame, though, owner didn't dig out soft spots fill with larger stone like at mouth of driveway. Put fabric down over the entire driveway and stone as you did. I know $ constraints, but from past experiences comes back to haunt you eventually
@zaccheusАй бұрын
Thanks for that feedback! It's a balance of things like anything else. The best thing would have been 6" slab of concrete, and the worst just a sprinkle of #57. We got him somewhere in the middle that will serve him well I believe.
@joshlower1Ай бұрын
Nothing is better then climbing trees my dude
@zaccheusАй бұрын
@joshlower1 Ah, I used to think that too. I still love it, but it doesn't make as much money as some other things.
