▶️Watch my wife operate a dozer: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/edmolql42tmteIk.html​ 💁🏻‍♂️MERCH: bit.ly/3pKO1aa

That's awesome!! I just bought me an acre of land in Hawaii and it gets bulldozed next week. I'm so excited 😁 The sound of a dozer is therapeutic. Great video!!

Dozers are great therapy: if I was having a bad day/week at my factory I'd get to the farm and after an hour in a dozer seat I was back on track to fight another day. It is seeing instantly the results of your work:got a mess,clean with dozer. Life is good.Only bad day I ever had on a dozer was when I was doing a heavy blind push with my old Cat D-6 and drove off a 14' deep creek bank. Upended the dozer 80 degrees. Took another D-6 and 2 grand to get it out. Put the seat belt back in after we got it out of the ditch.

You need limb risers and a full cage if your going to play in the bush, Otherwise your going to need an exhaust stack and intake and a helmet to run that machine. First things I added to a 550g

It was good meeting you at the gas station yesterday! Thanks for adding us! Keep up the good work! If you ever wanna come do a video on our little farm in Mississippi, don't hesitate to ask!

I could do with one of those and an excavator! Got a lot of boulders and rocks in our fields! I am amazed at the size of some of the rocks they moved into the stone walls 200 years ago!

The best greeting I have heard all year...

Always fun playing on a dozer. Need a root rake

Howboutcha Hank and Gina. A lot of ground can be covered when mobile 👍👍👍🤜🤛🇬🇧🇺🇸🇬🇧🇺🇸. That’s a hell of a good sized plot of land that you have. Awesome.

Looks a lot better. If I was you, I would have been clearing land all I could while I had the machine rented. Have a great weekend.

I had my 22 acres logged and I need to rent a dozer and a backhoe I'm thinking but I can't wait to see how the dozer pushes stumps

Your Operating Skill Has Most Definitely Improved, Carrying A Nice Grade. Looking Good,

You are doing a great job with the dozer 👍👍👍👍👍

That look you give Gina lol and keep up the hard work and thanks for the awesome content stay safe and take care

Making more ways for the deer to come across your path... nice!

Hank, got about a 3 acre patch that I want to clean up the underbrush similarly to yours. Options: hire a forestry mulcher (quick, expensive & I don’t get to have any fun), rent a skid steer with a heavy brush cutter, rent a skid steer with a grapple (pile & burn), or rent an excavator with a thumb (pile & burn). Hadn’t thought about renting a dozer, still have to pile & burn.

Nice work Hank its looking good even when you said your not sure what your doing its coming along very well i must say ...Thanks

This is music to a blind person‘s ears. I love listening to heavy equipment like that.

That looks like a blast. I’d want to drive that all day long. I agree on the road grading, leave that for the experts. Demo is more fun.

Miss mine but I was done with it , a root rake helps out a lot on a job like yours

Hank. Excellent video. I’m going through the same process. I’m using a skid steer mulched followed by the dozer. I have bad washout in old retracted land. Would you recommend just clearing with the dozer versus running a mulcher first? The dozer can go some places a mukcher can’t. I’m curious on your hybrid experience.

Thank you I have learned a lot from you God bless you

Got it looking good Hank ! 👍

Doing a good job and God bless yall

I believe you could push into an area, then back out a little, then work a little to the left and to the right to widen your path. That will keep the limbs, vines, etc off you better. Don't just try to push one blade width for very far. Just farnese it a little.

Looking good Hank, be careful running that dozer anywhere near the pipeline right of way we talked about a while back. Would hate to see you get into any trouble my friend. Coming your way next weekend to visit my son and daughter in law and the grand baby they live in FWB and stationed at Eglin, have a good weekend.

Looking to do some clearing soon. Just curious, I didn't see too many big piles of wood and brush after so where exactly did it all go?

Looking good Hank, You catch right on. After a while. I have no room to talk have never been on one. Central California Watching

A tub grinder would work well for cleaning up those piles. It would grind the whole trees and brush into mulch and then you could spread it out or use for the flower beds.

Hank, do you have anything against forestry mulching? It really does a good job and leaves everything ready for whatever you would need next. No burning, no piles, and no erosion issues. You would probably almost be amazed at the cost.

💥 You or Gina, because you’ll get stuck several times. Ladybug to the rescue! *Keep on tractoring!*

Fun vids thanks. We have started clearing our land with skid steer mulcher and will bring in dozer next. How long do you let the piles sit before you burn them? And - do that big root balls burn? Thanks for the content. Hoping the dozer will clean up the aftermath of the mulcher too - thoughts? Thanks!

I dang rented an excavator this past weekend to get my farm looking good as well man and I had a blast too. It’s fun man I can do it all day everyday.

You did a great job I am buying land in Georgia this what I need someone to do

@5:05 that's the look you give Gina when she says she's going shopping lol 😆 😂

Love this content ❤️ Keep it up! 👍

Very informative thank you

Amazing work with that dozer Hank. You certainly got a lot cleared. Looking good. Enjoyed as always.

If we are ever in the area, would you be open to letting us check out some of the equipment you have? My little boy, would especially love it.

So about 2 acres in an eight hour day. I got 8 acres that 20 years ago was pasture land and I want to put it back to pasture. It’s covered in privet. I’m worried if I just use a forestry mulcher on it the privet will just come back up…?

Thanks for sharing buddy

I don’t know mate but I reckon you’ve done a great job , and I’ll tell you from experience that tree you so carefully avoided , because you did need your dinner for the future , a professional operator would of went straight over that good work mate those dozers are a long way of the ones we had in my day all the best from a very wet Australian 3 days we’ve had close to 8 inches of rain just hope it’s going out west to the farmers who are now 2 years out of a long drought

In your sandy soil I can see its hard not to push down a dead tree and end up getting two neighboring trees beside that you wasn't wanting to remove. Looking good hope you can get some dry weather.

Eye protection is called for against those branches snapping back at you.

A lot depending on terrain, obstacles and whether your bogged

The dozier does great work. It might have made a little easier work if you would have cut a fire break then did a prescribed burn to take out all the undergrowth. Best wishes.

Hi! Nice work man! 💪🏼.

To do a build site for a house in a wooded lot would you prefer an older used dozer or a bobcat with a forestry mulcher on it? The caveat is you’d be buying either and keeping it. I feel the dozer would be a cheaper used purchase and can also make quicker work of other dirt work to save money on what the foundation contractors would otherwise need to do. What are your thoughts on that

Well done

Looking good Hank. 😁👍

To can Always come back to Oklahoma and see what to can do on our property after the ice storm!!!

Looking good!

Definitely need sweeps when clearing with a dozer. Saves not only you but exhaust pipe and breather.

You don't need your father in-law and you don't need sunny Hank all takes you figure out how much dirt your going to push if you can out you'll be better job any way and that's how you become a Heavy equipment Operator from Jason,L from Az.

I hand cleared acre and a half.. What I need is a solution to clean out around 120 pines.. oaks ..black gums.. etc thats in the 1 ta 3 foot diameter range.. Whats the best equipment to primarily deal with only larger size trees in other words what heavy equipment would be the best use for the money to do that?

Hey Hank, what kind of fuel consumption you getting out of that 450K? The only guy I've known with a bulldozer told me once that he used 6-8 gallon per hour. That was probably 30+ years ago before computer controlled engines. He had a 60'ish Cat, not much bigger than the JD you're using.

Love the land clearing. Save as many mast trees as you can stand

What kind of dozer did you use

How confident do you feel using that thing and not know what you are doing(according to you). I’m looking at clearing 2 acres of mostly 3-8 inch lines. Couple bigger. But I’ve never used equipment like this.

Getting into that thick tangle of brush and trees, is a Great reason to have a fully enclosed cab, if one of those branches, like you said, comes out from under a load and slaps you in the eye or face, that would ruin more than your day.

Fun times!

Hank, Should have got a rake with that machine. would not have pushed up as much dirt with the brush. Would have made it much easier to push up and burn. then grade it out with the blade.

HI MY FIREND (young friend !!!) you need to put a rake in front of the blade it will be perfect for this type of brush clearing !!!

Definitely gotta save the Magnolia! Hank, maybe you should see if H&E offers "rent to own" on that dozer. It's you, man! 😄

I'm always afraid when pushing dead trees over. I've had a few of them where the tops would break off and land on the cab and that's scary.

Skilled or unskilled it still looks like a hole lot of fun

I would take an excavator or a skid steer and mulcher for that job over a dozer any day of the week, but you did good with that dozer!

I like the truwerk gear

How many acres did you clear? Half or 1?

Hank! I'm multi-tasking, so I haven't seen the whole she-bang, yet, but early on in that tree patch clearing " 'cept for some trees you want to save". Scrape the root system bro, you might as well terminate them trees now. Shoulda waited for poppy-in-law before that one too, lol! I'm sure "its all good"!

Nasty Machine!!!!!

Brush rack may help, I have one .

That one bush thought, if I'm going down, ima take Hank with 🤣🤣🤣. I don't think the words bulldozer and finesse, are in the same category though 🤷🏻‍♂️🤣

Hi hank from west Alabama tell everybody hi for me peace and love

Wouldn’t mulching it just be easier and better Than pushing the material?

You made a cool video

Can I do the same thing with a Cat D5C XL?

Nice job there bro, are you planning to grass where you have cleared or just let nature reclaim it for the wildlife. Safe travels.

Niedługo 100 tyś subskrypcji ciekawe czy będzie jakiś specjalny odcinek.👍👍👍👍👍

I foresee some grapple videos upcoming with Brutus! That brush cutter from King Welding worked well. Looking forward to more brush clearing.

We will need to start calling you DH for Dozer Hank. It looks like your are accumulating lots of Big Boy toys.

Land clearing in an open cab machine with no guarding is risky. Always hated it and would go extra slow. Sometimes those trees get in a bind and fire right at you.

good. Section

Om bos te verbeteren zou men liever met een graaf machiene .1 hetgaat sneller . 2 met buldozer gaat de vrucht bare laag in kreken en rivieren na ee n stevige regen bui. Terwijl de kleine bomen als houdskool gemaakt worden. En in deze zie ik geen enkel natuur beschermer. Zijn ze in scelp gekropen????

How long would it take for the average person to learn to drive that tractor if they are proficient driving a bobtail truck? Clearing off 10,000 sq lot with small tree, my wife tells me we can pay someone to do it! My response why do they get to have all the fun!!

so how much land was cleared?

Heck yeah

Word of advice before clearing property: If you plan to build and implement septic for waste water, you will want to have your Soil Scientist draw up a soil map of best areas of for your lines to go. I was a mapping assistant working for my friend (who is still operating) for years, mapping all over SE Tennessee, N Georgia, N Alabama, W North Carolina. Check with your Soil Scientist first if you can remove a minimal amount of topsoil with the dozer blade before mapping. He'll probably advise against it before mapping, which is more than likely what he'll say and is most logical. You may be able to remove a minimal amount of topsoil before mapping, he'll tell you how much, according to state guidelines. Once you drop the blade and start moving Earth on property before it's mapped is called 'cut' and destroys the soil profile. More than likely he will call for pits to be dug by a backhoe so he can assess the soil profile and may even need to get a State Scientist involved in the evaluation. Hope this helps.

Absolute destruction! You have totally ruined….nothing! Awesome work!

Just think of the fun you could on a Cat D11 bulldozer!

You can always re plant sections of trees why in america do ye mostly have open station machinery

What you're clearing decides how much you can clear per hour. Open station dozers: so much fun when you knock a tree down (or give it a good bump) with a big wasp or hornets nest in it and then those wonderful ground nesting pigmy yellow jackets and bumble bees. Been run out of the dozer seat more than once by stinging devils....

Quite a bit if you DON'T get stuck!

Better pray you don’t find a ground hornet nest…

At least you are telling the truth

Don't know about an hour but a experienced dozer operator should do 3 acre's a day and a good loader man should be able to keep up with the dozer

Like watching a campfire

So when are you buying a dozer next

If you dance around the drip line of a big tree it will die anyway!!!
