Todd, are you in the Asheville area? If so, I'd love to reach out to you for a job in Madison county! Let me know how to get in touch! Thank you so much :)
Your channel is a lot like a class in how to run equipment. Now, on you next lesson, just teach all of us armchair operators how to actually afford to buy equipment. 😂😂
Not only the content about the Project stays better but it is very well increased by your explanations and tips. This is valid for starters but it may be useful for the ones that have another experiences maybe with different approaches as a solution. Very good Todd. 👍🏻
Great content, commentary and channel! You are the best, love your strategy for the day even with the weather. Keep the new content coming! I am a fan!
Really great explanation of how to bleed pressure off hydraulic lines. It sure makes the connections work easier. Thanks for keeping us a steady stream of videos. 👍👍
Appreciate the technical information on the equipment. Does the same principle apply to skid steers also? And would you consider doing a video on the technical aspects of skid steers and mini excavators.
Awesome content Todd! Retired & want to move dirt around my acreage. Started watching your channel a couple months ago & thought "WTH - I'll buy a used mini-ex (TB230) & do 'stuff'!". Have maybe 25 hours (ever) in the seat, but have improved dramatically (now one step above being deemed "dangerous")... You make it look so easy! Your instruction on "why" you do things the way you do, gives me great perspective. Thanks brother - I appreciate you!!!
Definitely unhooking the mulcher is a big struggle sometimes. Almost always have pressure in the mulching head. Had to use the wrenches as well. Don’t force em together. I didn’t have two wrenches first time. I got it hooked up but damaged the oring in the flat coupling. It leaked like a sift. Had to stop and go get a a new one. Keep one with me now just in case but always have the two wrenches. Great tips Todd. Thanks
Anytime you disconnect the hydraulic lines and there is any ambient change the pressure in the lines goes up or down , it only takes a few degrees to raise the pressure alot that is why you have to bleed off the lines , most people disconnect in the morning and try to reconnect in the afternoon and bam you have a ton of pressure built up in the attachment lines
On someone else land you have to take all precautions, if it was on level ground you would have to put it out every night in a deep hole you can let it burnout
@@DigginLife21 You have to come check out my new to me little tractor if you're over in Jackson County. Kinda outside your AO. But I'm super proud of it. All the bells and whistles. First upgrade will be a hydraulic top link for the box blade. It pulls a 6 foot box blade on these mountain roads real good.
Another goodie! 👍👍👍
Thanks Matt!!!
Burning that editing software up!🤪 Roll em out and we will watch em…😀
Yeah buddy!!!!

I’ll be sure to touch on that. Thanks for the idea

Well said

Thanks! Will do!
Thanks for all the content Todd, you know we love road building, be well buddy.
Oh I know it Joe!!! I’ll keep it rolling
The Excavator Kings is at again! You are the best!
🙇🙏🏻
Awesome video thanks Sir
Yeah man!!!

You got it my brother!!!

I believe a lot of the same applies. I’d be glad to do another vid. Do you have any specific question I could reply on?
Just general maintenance and upkeep and the different things that each piece of equipment can do. If that makes sense.
👍👍👍
👏🙏🏻

Well put Matt 👍
Todd if you could add another excavator to your equipment line up what would it be? Stay safe
Probably a Cat 315F with blade
Ok if I was paying you by the hour and I saw this video, there would have to be some re-negotiations 😂
Lol!!! Most of my customers these days find me on UA-cam and are aware that i don’t charge for camera setup time
@@DigginLife21 Lol I figured as much.
How do you not see there was a groundhog staring at you the whole time 😂
😂😂😂I only spot him when things are going badly
I suppose I missed the reasoning behind digging a burn pit versus burning on level ground. Seems like a lot of time and machine wear/tear.
On someone else land you have to take all precautions, if it was on level ground you would have to put it out every night in a deep hole you can let it burnout
When you burn in a pit you’re not left with an ash pile and it doubles as a place to put grubbings
When i push up dirt, i normally turtle back 🐢 my dirt
Drit?
Lol, my dirt 🤣
Nice work! Todd
That’s Thomas!!! Have a great day👍
👍
🙏🏻
Why is there not a button to push to release hydraulic pressure? What are the engineers at cat doing? This was probably an issue from day 1.
The new Skidsteers do have a type of bleeder. Excavators not that I know of. I’m with you though. There should be an easier solution
My takeuchi tl12 skid steer has a pressure relief knob. But still you have problems sometimes.
@@BillTalkington-g5r My TB260 also has a relief button.
2020 Bobcat E85 also has a pressure relief valve
Hi buddy
Howdy Niklas!!!! How’s the weather over there?
@@DigginLife21
Its a relly nice summer day . After this winter is a blessing . 3 fet of snow fore 5 mouths and cold like a witch nipel
@@MrNiklas1967 😂😂😂

There he is!!!!

@@AnomadAlaska that’s awesome!!! I got a real soft spot for tractors
@@DigginLife21 Kioti CK3510SE Cab. Got it out of TN with 100 hours. Already put 20 hours on it in AC comfort.
