Sometimes, slow and steady is fast. You make less mistakes. You did very well for the first time. I have my backhoe for 23+ years and I still take it slow. It is not something you use everyday and it takes a little bit for the muscle memory to come back when you first start digging. Having that thumb will be nice to raise firewood logs and cut them at a comfortable height compared to cutting them up on the ground. That rig has unlimited potential for so many things you can use it for. Mrs Purple Collar will eventually realize it was a great investment. I was not paid to make that statement. 😁
Now Mrs Purple needs to keep you working on the property and not shopping while she is coaching? You have no idea how much trouble you have got me in with your new toys.
Great first practice in the excavator! 👍 I definitely remember those days of looking forward to having fun.....uh, I mean, working on projects after work. 😁😁 Thanks for sharing, Chad!
Yes it does! I can’t wait to be able to easily brush hog (and maybe eventually mow) this area. If I can get it sloped right for drainage - maybe it could be a future location for a better Woodyard! :)
Looking good Chad it'll be second nature to you soon enough. Little tip that always seems to help is don't have the machine at to low of rpm. some people just learning try to run on a idle or just above to go slow ,it May run a little faster at higher RPM or even wide open throttle but you will find the hydraulics are smoother and work together better it's also better for the hydraulics.
Thanks for the tip! I had this on auto-throttle, with the maximum at only about 1/3 throttle. You make a great point. I should turn the maximum up and let the auto-throttle do it's thing. :)
@@PurpleCollarLife yep you got it! Those auto throttles are nice not standard on every mini unfortunately but they should be. Another thing a old timer taught me years ago is digging in dirt is like a onion just take on layer at at a time.
good to see you putting it to use! That thumb is pretty useful! I bet you've found a ton more projects with that mini ex! My only complaint about the video is that I wish you didn't speed it up when operating it even if you were slow. Maybe have more footage of normal operating speed and less sped up. Looking forward to seeing what's next with it. edit: maybe you mentioned it and I missed it but what controls did you use? Cheers! Jason
Hi Jason - I stuck with the backhoe setting (on this machine that's labeled "G"). I didn't want everyone to have to watch the painfully slow operation. :) But in some future videos, you'll see more real-time operation. Tomorrow another video releases with another project. I do believe it's still some real-time and some time-lapse.

"I was not paid to make that statement." That made us both laugh immediately. :) Thanks for watching and the support.

Thanks for watching. Working sure is fun with the right tools. :)
Great work Chad, well done
Thanks!
Awesome first project! Must feel great to remove those stumps!!
Yes it does! I can’t wait to be able to easily brush hog (and maybe eventually mow) this area. If I can get it sloped right for drainage - maybe it could be a future location for a better Woodyard! :)
Good job.
Thanks!
Looking forward to seeing leaf video’s especially with the John Deere
The leaves are falling fast! I already mulched them up twice in the last 3 days.
@@PurpleCollarLife yes my favorite season is fall best time to cut grass it is so satisfying with leaves
great!!!....Im in my 60's looking to have fun and get my first mini....don't know if I want the bobcat e 35 yours!!!
You can't go wrong between those two choices. Enjoy it!

I'm slow as well I also find it hard to make a nice looking finish. 👍
Glad I'm not the only one. Thanks for watching. Have a good day!

I had no idea that Terry Kahle sold Takeuchi. I know that he used to sell Yanmar in addition to Kubota
He has Takeuchi now. I'm not sure if he still carries Yanmar or not - but I know he recommends Takeuchi for all commercial or semi-commercial use.
