I don't blame you for not wanting to mess with those snakes. Man, that certainly is a snakes habitat, that's for sure. Nice work, and entertaining video too. ☺

Looking better everyday. Can't wait to see tomorrows. Have a great day.

You can definitely tell you take pride in your work.. Awsome video

Thanks for letting him be. It looks like a common rat snake. A water moccasin would be half its length and 3 times its girth.

Just the name “ the snake pond” would’ve kept me from going there 🤣

That was definitely a Rat Snake ..you were spot on..you're doing a damn good job on that pond !

Watching That snake was so cool. But it got much better you soaring down those trees. Keep up the good work. And stay safe from those snakes

This was a good day's work! You covered a lot of area. This pond area is awesome except for the snakes. I'd never get out of the machine!! lol

Hey bro. Man, that mulching head was just chomping on those trees like crazy! I see you perfecting your technique more and more every time out. Getting quite handy with the mini and so quickly with the mulching. Keep up the great work. Big Al.

THAT right there is a water moccasin… Deadly!

Very interesting work. Have never had the privilege of watching this before. Thank you.

You answered my question about bank soil erosion before I asked it. In Texas, I guess that's a pond. In Colorado it's a small lake. If that pond were stocked with Crappie, Bass, and Catfish, you could practice fly fishing and get dinner in the same visit! Your work turned that pond into the perfect fly fishing practice place. Thanks for the ride along, that was fun!

I never knew excavators could be used for such delicate and intricate tasks. This video has opened my eyes to the possibilities of these machines

WHY IS THIS SO GRATIFYING TO WATCH 🤔🙏

Oh mate what great work. It’s looking a treat now. 🙏🏼🤙😎🇦🇺 blessings to u and ur whole family mate for the new year ahead

Awesome machines and great job !!!!

Definitely a Black Water snake. A cotton mouth would have been chasing YOU. I love this work you've done on this job. Definitely a benefit to the client.

Love the timelapse

I've been branching out on the type videos I've been watching. Didn't think I'd like your video but I do , guess I'll subscribe, interesting for sure! Thank you for posting!

Awesome job man! I wish they made those minis with just a little more horses in them you could knock that stuff out quick lol

I used to cut grass for living and I loved it it was my favorite job ..Now I work on Airplanes and have for the past 20 years...but I miss cutting grass.. I wish I could go back to it...

It looks much nice since the brush was cleared. I agree with a previous comment that the trees look good if left as they are. I am surprised at allowing the debris end up in the pond though.

funny im a hairstylist, and love watching these videos. i see this as a second job for me, when i retire form hairstyling 😂

That intro is EXACTLY why I asked to use your mini.. Luckily we don't have cotton mouths up here, but I've already done battle with a giant black snake and a very unfriendly water snake with hand cutting along the river bank.

Well done 👍. Beautiful property

Really nice job man. I’m amazed how much you got done with the excavator. Good work

Loved that bit where the snake caught the frog wicked another good job done u are really skilled with that machine u no what u r doing keep up the good work and more pictures of snakes catching frogs u till next time toni from england

That is a incredible piece of property. Some lucky owner

Once the snake has a mouthful, you can pick him up safely and move him to a safer location for him to digest. Lol

Very neat piece of equipment

Powerful work!

I loved when the machine ate the tree.

That machine is a beast and great job as always. Who ever owns that land and pond he needs to put down some sulphuric powder to keep the snakes from the banks

Non-venomous water snake, beneficial

This is what was getting the job done. Great machine to use.

Getting it figured out. 👍🏼 job is cleaning up nicely. That snake would have met the fate of the mulcher

Great job! Looking good!

I love my job but I’d like to try this for a day. Thinking your thoughts... working with a cool piece of equipment. Just you and your task. Very cool.

Good job on the pond clearing!

Very interesting video. Pond edge looks great!

Limbs in the water makes good fish habitat. Cottonmouths aren't a snake you want to mess with. You do a great job making things look good. God Bless and Work Safely.

I love watching this video!

Can't believe all the noise you made and a snake decides to have brunch. Ha ha ha good job enjoyed,

That looks fantastic..did a beautiful job..

That makes life so much better these days then how I had to do that stuffwhn I was young in late 70's and 80's

After two hours it was worth seeing the view from the grinder!

What a difference 👍🏻

Great video man, that seems so satisfying

It would be nice to have a swivel attachment with that drum mulcher so you could turn it different angles to trim limbs off trees where the entire tree wasn't coming down. You could also have better control over which way the chips are ejected when mulching on the ground. Not saying go get one or you're not doing a good job without it, I'm only saying it would be neat to have a swivel attachment. It would also help with finish grading on slopes when combined with a bucket. I think they are a luxury item though and the work can be done without one and look just as nice. I have one thing to suggest to you after watching you clean up around ponds that you might want to consider being you touched on the subject of getting debris in the water. When you travel you seem to work more toward the way you travel having the areas of the mulcher and cutter that discharge the debris toward the water. My suggestion is to work with the open sides of the mulcher parallel to the water. If you can pull up straight/perpendicular to the water instead of sideways that would put the closed side of the cutter and/or mulcher toward the water. That might help keep more debris out of the pond and off the surface. I know its impossible to keep everything out of the pond but that might help seeing as the discharge sides wouldn't be pointed toward the water. It doesn't really matter as much here like you said but it might help at other places where it would matter. Don't exactly know if it's feasible to do that way because I've not run a cutter or mulcher from an excavator before. I ran a side arm cutter for a year for a company that contracted to the NCDOT cutting back brush and trees on the side of roads from the ditch back, not the mower doing the grass. I run a big John Deere tractor that had the side arm cutter so I got a small amount of experience with this type work. By no means am I as experienced as you with it. I have always been more on the digging side of equipment where you take the entire tree stump and all out at one time. The work you did around the pond come out great. Really opened up the pond where it can be seen and fished in if they want to now. Stay safe. -Wil 👍

That looks like a slow process do you have to get the trees from the water that are being shot in from your machine? Think i would have used a different tactic

I JUST JOIN YOUR CHANNEL I THINK YOU DO AMAZING JOB OMG YOU LEAVE IT LOOKING SO BEAUTIFUL AFTER THANK YOU FOR SHARING YOUR VIDEOS

SIR CAN I ASK YOU, WHAT WAS THE NAME OF THE YARD YOU WERE WALKING ROUND, THE DAY YOU COLLECTED YOUR TAKEUCHI FROM SERVICE. Look forward to hearing from you. Leo.

Can you tell me what is a water mocison snake thingy please

Could you use the thumb with the attachment on if you needed to grab something?

Great job keep up the great work

the roots are still on the ground, how long it grow back again for you to cut again?

Im just curious as to what part of the USA you are in.

I like this machine ! Sure could use one ! Pinecone trees will it cut them down ??? Tall big around ???

Looks like that would be effective on "The Walking Dead" lol, good job.The 600hp Fecon FTX600 would work well too. ;)

I have no idea why I enjoyed your video so much. Maybe because I'm sitting in my recliner already retired for 5 years or maybe because it is cool watching someone do a really honest day of work, and good work at that. How dangerous is a Water Moccasin if you find one. Keep up the good work IDigit4.

Wow!!! That’s amazing!,

dude youve got better nerves than me 1st snake i see im done. great video

Tight machine but not fair. Those trees and plants can't run away.

I am Fascinated with what this machine is doing. Who makes this equipment? Great Job! I love Fishing but the snakes aren't my favorite. Good thing he was full, they will jump at you great job

Boy, this fellow is a perfectionist.

The mulcher puts me in mind of a dinosaur with a highly voracious appetite!🦖🦖🦖

It’s a fascinating video. But, I really can’t help but think of all the animals that may have been caught unaware and ended up in the mulch.

You could ceramicoat the paint to protect it. Ceramicoat puts a thin (clearcoat level clear) layer of ceramic over the paint that takes a hell of a beating before anything will ever start touching the paint.

Será que só tem eu de brasileiro que ver todos os vídeos desse canal ? 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷

Nice clean job bro keep it up

Smashing the like button before the content even starts! Really not fan of any snakes, luckily we have a good population of king snakes (dark back light belly) that will keep the poisonous snakes in check. I leave the king in one of my buildings alone, she/he’s been a resident for 5-6 years. Never any mice.

Hello I just recently found your website and started watching what I wanted to say to you was at the snake pond you seen that striped snake he is more like a Garner snake. And sometimes they're called rat snakes. But the black snake that you seen hanging from the tree that's exactly what moccasins do and if you're on the water they will jump into the boat with you in a heartbeat. But moccasins are black and they have a single whitish pink stripe going down the middle of their belly underneath. So if you see a black one hanging in a tree and you get a chance to look for that one single stripe you know it's a moccasin I've killed him any of them. I even got one that was 7 ft long and my son took it to school for show and tell when he was in sixth grade. Yes I got a call from the office but it was dead. Be safe.

What do u charge per acre or hour for brush hogging/ compared to per hour or acre for drum mulching. We do the same buisness jc what prices are there. Thanks

A safe snake is the one with its mouth full. I remember hiking as a child and suprising an Australian Copperhead ( very venomous) with a mouth full of frog. I stayed clear but watched as it tried to gulp it down. I think the snake felt vulnerable in that situation. After, it just slid away. A cool experience.

Is this in Oklahoma?

Nice job and I like that mulcher, it would be cool to take that out for a day or two. I do agree with the others that it would look nice with a few trees by the pond but that's up to the owner. Btw, I bet those snakes are living down in some of those big holes, that would be a nice cool, and safe place for them to sleep, keep cool, and have babies. I don't mind seeing them on my screen but I'm not the one holding the camera. lol

I like the way it looked before the cuting, guess im.a big nature freak, and also its destroying the wild lifes habitat, where they gonna go now ?

Awesome

Interesting to watch for sure, poor pond now has all that mess in it tho

I wonder if the owner plans to develop anything out there? Nice job. New sub.

Great video. But, thanks to the Beavers. They help you have water in that river. Watch ‘Leave it to the Beavers’ really a great documentary.

Was that the best way to tackle that i somehow dont think so that machine while it does mangle the saplings up is reasonably slow at it i know there are snakes around but a chainsaw would have had them out a lot quicker then pile them up and mulch away

Walking around there you need some heavy rubber high-top boots those snakes can't bite through them. Just be careful you don't fall through and flip the tractor into the pond. Thanks for the video review!

I’m loving that machine! Great work, highly entertaining!

How tall r the largest trees & circumference? This takes skill to run this machine. U do an excellent job. How much does machine cost? Wouldnt like the snake part. Deadly snakes. Ive never seen a water moccasin that big. Guess it depends on their menu. Yuk. It would look prettier to keep some larger trees around edges of pond maybe? Dies brush/trees get stuck in machine? What would shut it down? Anything? Maybe screw in a piece of metal or bulletproof plexiglass across botton to not ruin paint or rust? Or HEAVY DUTY paint...ha. Enjoyed watching u do ur work. How is machine run? Fuel? U know us gals, we like asking questions...2 more. Do snakes live in the water & around pond year round? R they there permanently? Never want to fall in pond or swim in it then. No snake lover here. Will the trees come back since root still there?

Just curious, as careful as you are, have you ever gotten yourself stuck in the hole while on camera? I'm sure others would like to know that too. You do an excellent job and it's extremely entertaining. Thank you.

Muy buen video saludos abrazo grande desde Argentina 😊👍

Very cool machine. Would it have taken longer to just loosen the base of the trees and pull them out with the thumb? Obviously this would create a brush pile to deal. Not criticizing, just curious. Made the area look awesome.

You need to have the mulch housing powder coated and that one cutting blade must have hit a broken off fence post or marker. Those blades are high-carbon steel and they can take a beating. We use to raise cattle on the farm and used a silage chopper to chop green corn stalks as silage and I would sharpen the blades while it was running with a special abrasive attachment while it was running which was dangerous. The silage chopper was almost like a wood chipper and the sparks would when the blades were being sharpened. Farming and running power equipment is one of the most dangerous occupations a person could be doing.

SALUDOS DIGIT4 ANOTHER GREAT VIDEO AS ALWAYS G.B.Y.A.

Man I tell yah.those beavers & muskrats is so glad u came along.les work 4 thm now.Lol.can u imagine.thy probably cant Bliv its true.wht tok u so long bush-man

Letting the tops of the trees go in would make for great fish habitat. Crappie, bream. and bass especially thrive in that

Wow thats clean

Good job

You're making a nice job, the pond is looking good. ewww snakes..

They need to leave some of the trees ,looking good so far.

Do some of these trees grow back, since you dont remove the roots?

The Prinoth goes tru like a razor blade.

Liked and subscribed 👍

I thought you were supposed to leave a few trees around a pond to shade the water a bit.
