Join me for a near live preview video of my 2nd time ever in the cab of our newest rental excavator out at Project 291! In today's episode I will be using our excavator rental a Komatsu PC88 20,000 lb excavator to begin clearing a destination food plot on our Project 291 property. During todays video I will be making some observations and comparisons between this 20,000 lb excavator and my bobcat e42 R2 series mini excavator which is a 10,000 lb mini excavator. The komatsu PC88 does have a lot of 'eco' modes, and also it does require def fluid and is very 'eco friendly.' However, I am pretty sure that this beautiful machine is sorely lacking the power that it ought to have for it's size, weight and horsepower, and my best 'guess' as to why it seems to be lacking power is... well, you know, because it IS 'Eco Friendly!'
Until now we have been using my Bobcat e42 r2 series mini excavator, but since we have many acres to clear, and many miles of new roads and trails to clear we decided to go ahead and rent a much larger excavator, hence this Komatsu PC88 excavator. Be sure to like and subscribe to join us for this epic land investing and land improvement project that will be ongoing for quite some time. So far we have sold one 20 acre parcel from this 291 acre farm, and the 2nd 30 acre parcel is under contract. Also we are getting a logging bid from several loggers from 4 different states, so you will definitely want to subscribe to follow along on this incredible land investing adventure! We don't yet know if we will be logging it or not, but we will be documenting the entire process of the land improvements as well as the timber broker's tree marking process and logging bidding process as well. Depending on the logging bids we will decide if we are going to have the property logged or not. But this project property will be such an adventure in so many ways, that it is sure to be a fun life learning event, as well as an educational land investing property as well!
