MAKING SOME ROOM FOR THE MOBILE HOME
Part of what I have to do in order to prepare for getting a mobile home on our property is removing some more trees. In the photo above you can see that I've circled the ones that I needed to remove. There will be some more, but this is what I was starting with this morning. By placing the mobile home in this position we will still be able to keep the house site open while also being able to hook the mobile home up to power, water, and the septic system.
Last night my neighbor dropped off his front end loader with a backhoe attachment. This is a great tool for the job since you can first dig around the tree and then push it over. Since I've done this type of work with this machine before, I'm a lot quicker than I used to be.
In fact, in less than about an hour and half all of these trees except one were tipped over and ready to be cut up. YOu can see the one that I've still got to get under the bucket, and I've circled the base the that tree in case you need help finding it. I'm having problems with my chainsaw still, by a friend may be stopping over later to help me. For now I've still got some firewood to move and other things to work on, so I'm staying busy.
TIMBER!
That's a GIF of the last one that I tipped over this morning. I had wanted to take some progress photos, but got carried away being efficient and saving time. I still remembered to stop and record a video to make this GIF out of though. My normal photo helper Pinkie-Pepper was busy elsewhere with things like breakfast or school work.
I've still got plenty to do, but progress is progress. Also, having big machines to work with sure makes things like this go more quickly! Steem on my friends!

Now I see why that breakfast would have definitely not been enough😀.
Some heavy duty work you are doing here.
Where is this, the woods? Is it close to a town?

I stay up after dark, but don't usually get up before the sun. I do when I have to, but try not to have to!

Looks great man, we've been clearing a lot of bush around here and heavy equipment is the way to go. I'm a bit too accident prone with the equipment though and I don't trust myself to borrow any, I always rent with the upgraded insurance.... lol.

Yeah. rented with upgraded insurance is a good choice! It still beats doing it by hand!

A homesteaders work is never done, is it? At least you got to have fun with a "toy" in the process. We rented a skid steer for a project last summer and I had so much fun with it!

This machine is useful for lifting heavy equipment, many people use this machine without understanding, but this machine is used not only for heavy work but also for very small precautions.

Looks like fun and an efficient way to remove the trees that you need to in order to add your mobile home to the property. We are in the process of clearing some trees right now too but don't get to play with the big toys unfortunately so I am slightly jealous of you lol. Have fun!

I have done some tree work before. I did not take them down or cut them, but I had to help stack them, and there were hundreds of 4ft logs that we had to move. It was cool in the end though because we managed to make almost like a log stacked fence.

From an almost tool-less starter, you getting the hang of how to make life quicker and easier.
Well done, and by the time you are finished. You will have enough trees to build a log cabin,

I needed a manlift to restore and old Victorian home back in 2005-2009. It was used and I purchased it for $2000. I used it for 4 years, purchased a new pair of batteries for it for about $200. That;s all I put into it. When I was done with the house I gave it a sexy paint job and sold it for $1500. If I ever need a piece of equipment for a long time again I'll repeat the process. It is great to have a neighbor with a backhoe to borrow though.
