@@dirty.diggersvery cool thank you

@@environmentlandscapeexcavation yeah here we see all kinds of different soil! It changes so much some times from one county to another

@@jarrodoreilly4328 Nice that’s a smart idea! Thanks for watching and the feedback! 🍻

Awesome! Congratulations!

Thank you! Appreciate it 🤙🤙

Thank you!

It does make things a bit more challenging but you want to try and be roughly level in general when digging. But the short answer is no it shouldn’t. The height is based on the boom being plum so that height doesn’t really change even if the machine does a bit

I bought mine a couple years ago and now I’m fixing to try it out and use it for the first time

I have a biased opinion because it’s the one my dad bought the year I was born and we’ve had it ever since. Grew up loving this machine and still do

Well yes and no. A box blade is the best tool for the job, its entire purpose is to spread and level dirt. It would be like using a wrench to drive a nail in a 2x4. Yes the wrench will drive a nail but a hammer would do the job a bit better.

Eh I more relate it to a nail gun to a hammer. Nothing like beating a 16 penny in with a hammer but easier on the body to use a nail gun an smaller nails. So much easier on the body running a skid steer and can get the job done just as good if not better, especially with some experience. Constantly looking over your shoulder using the box blade is hell on your back over the years. But there’s nothing like backing that thing up and putting a perfect grade down first pass. You constantly tinker with a skid steer

A little yeah. But it’s for use on a subdivision so even later when leading it out with the dozer and track machines etc it will still be clumpy.

This particular job was done in a day and a half. All the grading and bring in the sod was first day. Second day we just laid the sod. Probably only a few hours in the morning to wrap it up 🤙

Oh yeah buddy 😎🤙🤙

What do you mean by sand grade??

Thank you! Appreciate the positive feedback 😎👍🏻👍🏻

We just had those left over from a landscaping job

No the driveways were in with gravel. Then one day a paving company comes in and paves like 50 or more per day so they can do a huge subdivision like this in 2-3 days. But us digging these trenches was sort of unprecedented. It’s a new thing they incorporated on those houses in that subdivision. It’s not normal.

Haha not ignorant man, I thought the same thing! This was designed by an engineer and the town. I had to follow their requirements for culvert length. Wasn’t up to me lol.

@@dirty.diggers not meant as a criticism, just to be clear. I figured there was a good reason, and I’m sure the engineer had one.

@@gabrielpearson Yeah Exactly! If it’s an approved design and what the customer wants, as long as it doesn’t negatively affect us or anything else negatively, I have no problem doing it 👍🏻

Thanks! I appreciate that! If nothing else, it looks far better then it did before 😆

Thanks! Appreciate that. Yeah flicking the dirt or other material like that is a technique that can be helpful to spread material out or sometimes if you can’t raise the bucket to Dump for various reasons. And yes for this job we needed to have a permit for the culvert and also one to have a lane closed on the road when trucks were dumping because it was a very busy road

Thanks man! We’re not mechanics by any means, but we try to do as much service as we can to maintain and repair our equipment

Oh yeah!! It’s the machine that made me fall in love with equipment

@@dirty.diggers same here, grew up on old cases, spent most of my career so far on em. New ones are nice not the same as the old.

@@jsbackhoeop8180 now never will be 😔 all new machines are nice and great etc. but with all emissions and tech on them makes repairs and some operating a pain

@@dirty.diggers tell me about it 😆 the super Ls were the best, bulletproof

@@jsbackhoeop8180 Yeah those were great as well

Yeah exactly! It would be very tough to custom match the exact same new paint. Even the gallon I ended up making, I just used a little from the spray paint on a scrap piece of metal so they could colour match it pretty close. Should have just done the gallon from the beginning lol

Thank you! I appreciate it! Yes that was one thing I realized when purchasing the Kobelco, they really go for strong drives on the tracks to have that extra pushing power

Thanks for watching and commenting 🤙🤙

Thank you! And it’s okay, in this CASE she was squeaky but we got her all fixed up good as new now! 😁

Holy!!!! That is insane! I’ve always heard Bobcat was very overpriced. Recently I’ve heard a lot of complaints with them in terms of service and performance too. Not sure never owned one but every time I did operate one I wasn’t a fan of it

@dirty.diggers I really like my 2015 bobcat S850, ergonomics are great. I guess everyone gets used to their own machine. I've rented a few other machines and certain things are better or worse

@@mennonitemoto5941 yes that’s also very true. Have you ever ran the Kubota?

@dirty.diggers I've tried a few larger newer kubotas yeah, overhead door is great, on bobcat I can NOT open the door if I have the work platform on my forks still! So lame. I do not like the DEF on my machine but I do prefer it to Kubotas regen system. Kubota has super smooth hydraulics too

@dirty.diggers I've ran a few john deers, huge cab with all kinds of leg room, but sit very high and personal preference I just didn't like it

No we don’t typically shoot unless it’s close. We do thousands of homes a year and have a pretty good eye for getting the grades right, as well as bench marks like the heights at the house and grade stakes at the rear. This grade is designed to be lowest in the middle of the yard, and then slope to the side yards and out to the street from there. Very rarely the drainage doesn’t work, and that’s usually due to some type of problem with the building where we can’t achieve enough slope.

I agree with you on some of that for sure. The cupholder placement I did end up making a story about. Don’t think I noticed that during this video. The door can be a bit annoying to close on the way out for sure, but I wouldn’t trade that minor inconvenience for the overall design of the door going overhead. As for the balance, I only got about 50-60 hours on it right now. But I never found that an issue with the other svl 75-2 machines we had. Have you used the older model Kubota?

Thanks! Appreciate it 🤙🤙🍻🍻

CANADA 🇨🇦 who’s there

Thanks Aaron! You’re the man! Appreciate you 🙌🙌

Aaron thanks for the support! 🍻🤙🤙

Depends how much I like the person 😎😝

@@dirty.diggers haha I’m not big enough to offer deals of such yet.

Thanks man! Appreciate it! Good to see you back in the comments 🍻🍻

@@dirty.diggers yes indeed! Great content!

Oh no, my world is crumbling, oh no

Thanks appreciate it! Not sure if you already figured that out but usually to bleed a line you have to slightly open it on an end by slowly loosening a connected fitting. And trace back from there if it still seems to have air. Is pretty strange though I haven’t seen that really before. What makes you think there’s air in the line?

Yeah the dig bucket was an issue immediately! They did some testing but with the tilt head on and then the bucket the way it’s designed you end up having to much length from the teeth to the pivot point on top of the tilt head. It has no breakout force. Otherwise with the ditching bucket it works amazing! Really loving it so far

🤣🤣 this is very true 👌

Appreciate your feedback and that was a bit of concern but it’s been fine. This was done 4 years ago now and we haven’t had any issues. It’s pretty common from my knowledge to add a thumb this way

lol it’s alright seen better but for sure seen worse! It had about 8” of softish frost on top but it’s pretty hard clay type so carves pretty good 😎

@@dirty.diggers don’t get much like that where I’m from, yeah definitely carves very nice!

@@Braaaps in our area it varies so drastically from one county to the next. You can be digging clay like this, sand, or rock. Sometimes just going over 20-30 min drive one way lol

I tend to agree with you! Great machine for great value 💪

Thank you! Much appreciated! And yes you are correct, nothing like some outdoor action playing with dirt 🤙

Thanks 👍

For what? Digging this square?

Yes

@@chefjerk8398 This particular video I was helping a friend so not a typical situation. However normally such a small job you’d need to factor in float costs and a minimum rate usually about 4 -5 hours. Its very expensive to move heavy equipment around even if the job will only take you an “hour” to do

Don't forget to up-charge

@@alphaqgentley897 best quality gets best prices 😎

Depends on some options etc but you could get one for around 100k around here

That’s got to be Canadian, right?

@@samuelmarsico8103 yes that would be Canadian

Sure is! Thanks 😎😎🍻🍻
