Spreading Driveway Base and Building a Rock Wall with a Tilt Rotator
Вставка
- Опубліковано 6 лют 2025
- Here I return to my family friend's place to improve the driveway entrance and access to the newly built home entrance I dug the footings for last year with the E42. I also repurpose the rocks I scraped out of the area into a rock wall using the CMP grapple and then dig a swale in the back to redirect roof water away from the house.
Equipment Used:
Excavator: 2022 Bobcat E50 R2-Series
Tilt Rotator: Steel Wrist X06 S40 with Integrated Grab & S40 Quick Coupler
Grapple: CMP NRG82
Wow! That flat front bucket is one handy tool. Nice work.
Awesome job! That steel wrist looks like a dream to operate!
Thanks for the videos!
@@MacAttack2010 welcome!
Wow, that new bucket is just awesome, the entrance looks fantastic.
You do amazing work, keep it up.
Impressive skillz ! ive been surviving with a tractor w/ grader blade and box blade but watching this makes me want to buy a minix :P nice work !
Yep! I have a bx23s I started with for a few years and have moved up to this and this is for sure much nicer to work with!
Love the work you do! Always exceptional! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼❤️
Thanks!
Glad there is a new video ❤
Sad that it’s only 24min 😢
nice to see sombody that have pride in their work.exelent.
You do nice work.
Thank you!
Nice work!
Maybe you could help out a beginner. How would you price a job like that? Per hour plus material or a daily rate plus material?
I think putting in that swale was an example of a cut corner being reattached.
I have been talking to dale from steel wrist about one for my e35 but some unforeseen expenses came up and the 37k price tag had to get put on hold. How are you liking the euro style buckets?
Damn, hopefully not too bad of a setback. I am really liking the euro style buckets. The shape is great for doing edge/blade work while not bumping the sides or back on close objects (like the stair treads in the video). Also really nice with the big underbite to pickup objects like rocks or logs.
$37k 😅
Not a fan of the Euro style bucket. But that steel wrist looks nice. Nice job.
have you tried them? it is so much easier to get stuff in the bucket and the taper allows for cutting curves so nicely. I am sold on these buckets even if I didnt have the tilty
I agree. After using standard buckets for over a few thousand hours and struggling to cup items in the bucket, these make such quick work of picking up stuff. They do also allow for making really nice cuts, curves with the shape of the bucket
Great video. That Steel Wrist excavator bucket really works well! I’m new to your channel and in two of the videos I’ve watched so far, you are using an electronic level. I’ve not seen that type before. Any chance you could post some information on it?
Thanks! Its a ZipLevel 2000, altimeter that uses gas and gives a digital read out of height. easier to use in small setup or bad line of sight areas over a laser.
Is your bobcat e50 a long arm or standard arm?
@@kevinmcmanus7298 Its a standard arm
good joob, what's the yellow you are using ?
Zip Level PRO-2000. It is a gas based altimeter, easier to set up and use for small jobs over a laser.
You need to get a roller
Would have been faster with a track loader...
Probably, but I could only bring one machine and this one is more versatile
Amazing machine and operator skill, but one of the ugliest houses I've ever seen. Who the f designed that? wow.
Thanks! It was an old ski house built in the 70s I think. Was just an amalgamation of styles and they are working to renovate it.
amaazing good jobs.
Should have used road fabric. All that gravel is going sink down in the dirt in one year. You'll be doing this again soon.
Job security
the gravel sounds as he was cutting it makes me think it isnt too soft
