Robert, your doing an excellent job at clearing the privet and wisteria! I enjoy watching your tractor pop the privet out of the ground and seeing the wisteria disappear at the same time. I like it when you can do one thing and it helps another problem out.👌🏻👏😀

Two months ago when I made a comment that the home looked like a pig sty, you admonished my comment in your video the very next day. But as I said at the time, once you clear up the place, you will feel so much better about the work you are doing. You have worked very hard since that time and what a difference it has been. I know it can all be very overwhelming, but once you start, the work speaks for itself. Nice job Robert. I'm impressed.

Making good headway. Need to get you a good pair of loppers to cut the vines growing up in the trees you want to save. Raccoon tree looks like some vines large enough for chain saw. When I was clearing the Wisteria from the land I am on, I cut all the massive vines going up the large trees. Within about 18 months, the vines were breaking apart and started to fall out of the trees. If the sap flow is cut now, no new spring growth up in the trees.

Robert, great to see you, and another nice brush fire. Glad the baby raccoons are not in that tree, but thinking they are better off more towards the back of the property, or at some point caught by wildlife and moved to a more protected area, like a state park or protected forest preserve. Love the burn and seeing so much cleared out with pushing over all those privets.. awesome at so much you have now been able to do since getting your orange Kubota! look forward to the next video..
