Man, I can feel the heat through the screen. Good luck getting your ac fixed. That Earthserve shirt is 🔥

Great video. We too have a E45 and are in the process of working on our property. Please keep us posted on your progress.

My favorite kind of job! Great vid bro.

Hello been doing grade work for a few years for the state now. At around 18mins in the video you're seen digging directly ahead of you at the grade. In. This moment it would be better to be in the drive way swinging the buckets at grade and allowing the skid to clean it up. The skid can maintain grade much better than an excavator so remember that. This whole job could have been done without the excavator really but I understand you wanted practice so Edit: also use the skid bucket and back drag everything allowing you to see highs and lows better. When the material is roughed up like that it can be harder to see grade

I'm a heavy equipment operator for a county road department. Here are some things I observed. Chain down properly. There are 4 tie down points in the corners. Use them. The rear tie downs can not be both hooked to the same point like you had it. The front tie downs should have gone over the blade not around it. Get yourself a laser (or a transit if you will have a second person) and learn how to shoot grade. Grade around a building is about drainage, not just making it look pretty. Using the siding as your reference is a bad idea and not very professional. Lasers have come down in price and you can get a good one for about $500 to get you started, but realistically you will probably spend closer to $1,000 for one that can be used on big projects too. Don't look at the cost, look at the investment. Part time or full time doesn't matter, you want this business to succeed. Part of doing that is investing in tools and equipment that will make you money, and a laser is one of those tools. I assume you're licensed and insured, so you can also write it off as a business purchase. I won't judge on your grading other than to say get yourself an I-beam, you can even get a blade to replace your bucket on your excavator that will work the same way. Overall, I think you did good. Grading is fun but it's a challenge. Being in public works, I don't get the luxury of "just messing up a yard". My mistakes get seen by thousands of people and can have pretty big consequences. Talk about a steep learning curve. But no better way than to just get out there and do it. I'm you 118th subscriber - good luck man and enjoy it.

I would recommend not using the excavator as much if you are able to. There are alot of attachments for your loader you can rent fairly cheap that would make things much faster and easier. A hydrobucket is one of them. It has a built in Harley rake which is great for breaking up grass root and smoothing things up quickly.

Great video! I enjoyed seeing all the angles and all of the Mayfest preparation at the end! 🙌🙌

Nice work! You got that looking great! 😀👍

I can appreciate you putting your inexperience out there for the world to see. I’m very limited myself. Some advice I could offer is not to be afraid to work with a full bucket of material. It takes the slack out of your pins and gives you a more consistent grade along with reducing unnecessary and inefficient movement from dumping excessively. Keep your bucket full and keep pushing material as far as the machine allows. Keep at it!

Time to roast weenies and marshmallows.

Great vid. I myself have a kubota mini excavator and do what you’re doing. I started with a trailer much like yours but it got old quick. That E45 is a chore to load on a low pro trailer. I switched to a 22ft deck over hydraulic tilt. Stayed with bumper pull but that extra width makes all the difference in the world.

Thanks for sharing a transparent video of your first job!

Awesome, new trailer man! Video production looks great!🙌🙌🙌🙌

Congratulations, be careful loading the track machines in damp weather onto the dump, they are slippery. Also if I were you I would lower the nose of the trailer. Loaded you will be putting to much weight on the rear tires causing them to blow out. Enjoy

I’d recommend a laser receiver for the equipment. Power rake or 6 way blade for skid steer makes life easy too

You should find yourself about a 10’ chunk of steel I-beam. Pinch between the thumb and bucket. Great for grading/raking.

Appreciate the vulnerability of taking us along for your first Dirt Gig! What were your learnings?

Nothing beats some seat time on the tractor! Enjoyed the time lapse of the progress.

Nice video! Liked and subscribed. Looks like your brake light is already out at 1:18 ! Probably want to get that fixed right away.

Great video! Thanks for all of the great work on the farm!

Excellent video 🙌🙌

More and more progress with each video! Had a good time working in unison with you and the E45.

Viewed, Liked, Shared, Subscribed! Great content, love the excavator usage!

Looking good! Been fun watching the progression.

Beautiful dirt!

Love the skid steer dirt work! Viewed, Liked, Shared, Subscribed! Please share more!

Great work

Looking good 🙌

great video how do u like the bobcat exavators

Rewatched! Love the skid steer dirt work!

Looking good! Excited to see the finished product.

No compactor?

I love mine. Had it for a few years now, well made.

Liked, Viewed, Shared, Subscribed, Commented..... love the spreading of gravel by the skid steer on graded ground! Need more!

Don here, product manager at Mongo. You should only use tape on NPT fittings. We use Blue Monster. If you use tape on the other fittings you will cause it to leak as they seal on the internal flange. Pipe threads are the only ones that need a sealant. Thanks for your business!

It almost looks like you know what you're doing! Nice job!

Nice job stepping up the production quality of the video.

Great work
