It’s great to hear you say “Jack and I” when you talk about potential tough times ahead. Seems to be growing into a fine man.
The ability to move the arm separate from the machine let's you dig parallel to buildings and obstacles. You can work off the side of your tracks and angle your arm parallel to the building and it lets you get really close. So the width of your machine isn't a factor.
The boom swing is invaluable in a mini
Increases your lifting power by bringing everything closer to you
You nailed it on investing. I max out a roth and save for my daughter, and everything past that goes toward land, booze, and guns.
In that order? 😉 😁
Switch guns and booze.
@@jeffreyyeater1780 Depends on the week..
Solid investments.
That thing will change your life! In a good way, Trust me I know
The work you do in the Kubota is amazing...so skilled! Keep the content coming!
@@bigeburris7220 thanks
@@OutdoorsWithTheMorgans Have A Day! Even if you are an East Coast guy 🤣
Both channels are awesome! I know things changed for us when we bought our excavator.....worth the investment for sure.
Hi Morgans, love your stuff too
An excavator on the homestead has a lot more uses when you have one. It’s like a loader on a tractor, you don’t know often you will use it until you have one.
I mow 2.5 acres with a 21 inch push mower.....it gives me great joy when my fellow man can get a tool like that. You can do so much with that machine! Enjoy Cody. You can make a living with that set up. I refuse to go into debt to buy a rider so I am saving for one. Keeps me humble in the meantime using the pusher.
Good for you. I have a similar acreage and spent the first two years with just a push mower. I finally bought a scrap quad for $250, converted it to run on batteries, and use it to tow around a homemade mower deck made out of scrap stainless steel sheet and two (one cheap and one free) 5 hp mower engines.
@@Ijusthopeitsquick sounds like a pure death trap, I love it! 👍
I did for years but I got on facebook market place got a used rider and a trailer at farm and home should have done years ago
That is the way to go. Been on my six acres for five years. First three years with a 32 inch deck. It would take 15 minutes to make one pass. That's about two days to get the place done. Saved my money and this spring was able to get mower with 60 deck and nine miles per hour. Now takes three to four hours. No loans to the bank. Feels great to not owe the man.
@@tylermallory2504 I'll admit that I wish I had an electric starter that I could operate whilst sitting safely on the quad :-)
In 2021 just added a tri axle truck, a U35 Kubota mini, a Kubota skid steer, and a tilt trailer 👍🏼 I agree with the way you think. These things are made of steel, copper, and other materials that are inflating big time
It makes me feel hopeful for our nation when I see people making big leaps and continuing their success. I hope to be able to achieve similar in the near future and be able to pass on something meaningful for my family, values, property and small amount of wealth.
@@ZombieGhost2250 I don't see why or what you have against successful people. I'm confused. Reminds me of a bucket of crabs- as soon as one reaches the top edge of the bucket, he is pulled down by another crab still at the bottom!
@@ZombieGhost2250 then I take it that you are an arborist as well, because there is a principle- that it takes one to know another. I mean no offence but I like outdoors people in general, because as a soldier in my own country, I spend nearly 70% of my time in the jungle.
you can do it. just put your mind into it, and believe in your dreams. best wishes
Be diligent. Be creative. Be resourceful and scrappy. You got this.
Amen 🙏
We just bought an empty acre lot next to our house. Love having some extra space. Been working on clearing the property. Has a lot of old alcohol bottles out in the woods LOL. Future goal is to build a wood working shop to bring in that extra income and use part of it for gardening. Self sufficiency is now one of our life goals.
Not sure where Jack's interests lie, but a young guy with an opportunity to learn excavating skills, etc... could very easily end up with his own business and have plenty of work to keep himself busy......and profitable, especially at the rates it looks like excavating services are getting in your area.
2 years ago when I first got married, I was the only one working and my wife was a homemaker. We were able to save not much but a little. Now she's working a full-time job, I've had 2 pay raises, and we're still barely saving anyting. It's like just overnight everything got so much more expensive.
If read that the money supply has been increased 20% in the last 12 months. Makes it worth 20% less. Heading towards being Zimbabwe
@@sledawgpilot well that gives me plenty of hope for the future lol
Get ready, it will likely become worth even less as other countries abandon the dollar as their reserve currency and move to Asia based reserve currency. A lot of moves in politics and economics support this effort and it will probably look like an uncontrollable inflation.
@@laszlovass7326 that is the danger. Or maybe the plan all along
CAT parts come from all over the world. It is assembled in the USA. I used to work for CAT logistics.
You scored Cody and you’re right, the money it took to contract out all you wanted makes owning your own worth it. This also lets you go beyond all that work and use it around the homestead. Missing you and Mrs W these days
Owning things and equipment is the move -- wife and I both had the feeling that we needed a sawmill as a hedge. So, we got one :)
The value isn’t in the sawmill. It’s in the hard work and production you can get from it. Cody acts like buying this will be better than owning a index fund in four years. There’s no precedent for that, much more likely the CAT will be worth less than he paid for it and the stock market will be up around 30%.
You can set up Jack FOREVER with this thing. Great opportunity.
Good move Cody. You will never have to worry about making money when you have equipment like this. Of course you already know that.
Of course the truck is a beast, it has two alternators!!
For $2k you can have a super charger put on it like the GT 350 and 500 mustangs, keep your warranty and get a thousand + HP and torque and blow these coal haulers doors off!
Cody, just admit it... you're going to dig a moat around the homestead, 😂. Good score on the mini, God Bless you and your family
The boom pivot+machine pivot allows you to pull a straight offset trench right close to a wall.
The way things are going with equipment is you could keep that for ten years and probably get the majority of what you paid
Maybe you could teach Jack how to use the mini excavator and after some time of getting used to it, then if you don't need it in the future, he could start his own small excavating or even a brush clearing business of his own if he wanted to. Obviously that depends on his want to do such a thing but that'd be a cool way to teach your son how to do more on his own. :)
I just recently bought a 3.5 ton Takeuchi, dump trailer and 3/4 ton truck because of inflation. Now I've got to figure out how to get steady work with it.
The good Lord provides for our every need🙏 praise God for his provision
We had the same experience. We bought an excavator (12K), dump truck, track loader(12K), CAT D7E dozer and accessories just ahead of covid. Can’t believe the Things we have done. The projects here have paid for the equipment.
Great video we love the more "unplanned" videos that are more of just a window into your awesome life. Thank you.
That Cat actually is a Japanese Mitsubishi, so it's good quality
Just purchased a CTL for the same hedge against inflation.
That looks like a handy machine. I will be buying a dump trailer in the near-future, I think.
Cotontop3 just got his new dump trailer delivered for his tree business
kubota makes a nice kubota khaul dump trailer and best kubota excavators wich kubotas accully planing in feature for a full size kubota excavator
Forget keeping up with the Jones. He’s trying to keep up with the Morgans. 😂😂😂😂
I agree with the 12 inch bucket being to narrow. Some people would probably think it is too small a machine to run any wider bucket but I run an 18 inch bucket on a 22 horsepower tractor that is 25 years old.
Wife and retired and bought property to homestead. We went down the same road as you. Bought an excavator after getting sticker shock to have any work done. Even got an Ironbull trailer like you. Love them both. Just finished roughing in about a half mile driveway through the woods. Pulled about 100 logs from putting in the driveway. They'll be going onto our sawmill. Also got about 13 cords of firewood. A lot of work but very satisfying.
Those mini ex's can do so much. Really nice buy.
Nice buy ! I had to laugh a little at being able to stay in the cab while changing buckets . Years ago I worked on farms and a few years ago visiting friends I jumped into the cab of a modern tractor and was blown away by all the updates for similar equipment changes .
I got my CDL today!!
From us East Coast guys, congrats brother. 👏 🇺🇸
Cody let's be honest you know darn well that caterpillar will be the last thing to go if it does ever go 🤣🤣 you most likely will never get rid of it I can tell because it just gives you too much fizz! Hah... awesome machine tho I really like it hope you have the best of luck with it may it never break down
I’d love to see a comparison of this machine versus what your tractor can do. You’ve mentioned in the past the tractor wasn’t exactly a purpose built digger so now would be a good chance to see a side by side. Thanks!
A tractor is a multi tool- it does a lot of things but not very many very well. Especially digging. This machine coupled with a skid steer (purpose built loader for digging) would blow the tractor out of the water. But you’d certainly pay for it if buying all new.
Tractors are much better suited for 3pt field implements. For example, you wouldn’t put hay equipment on a skid steer- that would be a waste of time even though you probably could
I got an excavator for the same reasons as Wranglestar about four months ago (I've put 220 hours on it). They are an amazing tool. Having had tractors, skids steers and the like I have to say, the excavator (with a thumb) would likely be the last thing I let go. Move dirt, dig holes, move logs, lift 2000 lb forklift batteries, lift the canopy off the pickup, lift the sawmill head onto the rails...seems like every day I'm turning to it to do stuff that would otherwise be very challenging or time consuming to complete.
After watching the progress over the years, I revisited your 2013 interview with Jack Spirko yesterday. Many of the things said in that interview are becoming truer day by day. Not to mention where you were to where you’re at!
Awesome find. I'm a little jealous, in a good way. Good for you guys.
Between a mini-x and a tractor, you can do everything; well, within reason. Easily my favorite piece of equipment in the field.
Wranglerstar: "So, why did we buy a mini excavator?"
Me: "Huh, I guess there *might* be reasons other than 'It's gonna be FUN!'"
I am a pipelayer by trade. The swivel boom is intended for for trenching and leveling in confined spaces and it is really easy to dig a trench straight with the swivel boom as where it sits at the cab is where the trench will come to. You should have went ahead and put a tilt hitch on. We have had the quick bucket hitch in New Zealand since about 1982 my grandfather had one of the frist in our region.
Great purchase
Last year you were talking about night vision right when I was getting into it. Now I’m about to buy a bobcat for my property. Looks like us west coast guys are constantly on the same page.
I’m 64 years old and seeing my savings take a big hit because of the Biden administration. So I pretty much have done what you’ve done like purchasing a 14K 14’ dump trailer, a Ditch Witch SK1050 stand on mini skid steer and a Cat 302.7 and of course not all at once. So now I’m able to do everything I need to do around my property without calling anyone and looking to purchase some land in the country to develop and move onto. Most importantly is to keep God first in our lives, he is our personal savior and provider.
The swing feature is great for getting close to walls, and other things
Cody, check the new recall on super duty rear axles. The axles tubes are crushing under the spring purches.
As far as resale, I work at a car dealership. All used vehicles no matter what condition have almost tripled in price.
Good for you sir. I have followed and enjoyed your channel for some time. My wife and I do a small farmers market with some 7th day and have great fellowship. I agree to disagree, but have a great time in the Lord. I'm happy to see how God has blessed you and yours. Would love to fellowship with you.. Carry on! Will see you here, there, or in the air!.. edit is...a Midwesterner transplanted to an eastern guy. Lol
Thanks for sharing
Neighbor has an excavator like that. He's a landscaper so he uses it a lot. I'd be happy just to afford a tractor. Thinking my career isn't providing me enough toys and maybe time for a change. Not to mention, it would be nice to have a sophisticated amount of savings to weather the storm of the current administration.
Good for getting rid of problems that start to smell in SHTF.
The great feature on that cat excavator is that the hydraulic quick change makes it super easy to turn the bucket around backwards to do tunneling under things in difficult places or I use it to lift things up to roof level like shingles when I do roofing.
The knuckle is so you can dig with the cab facing a certain way for an offset trench....you will never want to go back to a full size after having that
Now those stumps won't stand a chance! Really nice score on the Cat.
Mr wranglerstar just keeps on killing it ! 😯
A little tip for ya. Tack weld a 3/8 plate on the teeth for trenching and saves alot of clean up. 4 or 5in by the width of your teeth. We have 2 cat 305 E's and it's nice for the oregon soil. Tooth buckets have there place. I really think you will enjoy the heck out of that machine. Watch the window alignment in the track. That's the only problem I've had in 5 years.
I would hold onto that escivator it would be good for gardens and things also
Like it. My two favorite channels. Wrangler star and Outdoors with the Morgan’s.
Great little machine. I rented one from work last year and put a bunch of tile in. They do alot of work for 25 hp.
That will be perfect for you and Jack to get into light excavation work like digging foundations and such ,now you need a Finish dozer ...
Well said with regards to having some material ways to provide services and work in hard times.
I see Cody’s got a new Garmin Fenix watch 😎👍
Food shortages in America. Grandfathers all over our country are rolling over in their graves. SMH.
I miss the longer episodes, I understand it’s a ton of work planning, filming, completing and then editing, not to mention having time with your family but your longer episodes sure are something special.
I bet they return once the weather changes. They always do.
For a few yrs I worked for excavating Compnany in Baco Raton filling in a lake on a golf course using a Cat 225 thats a step-up of four or five models same principal but if your Boss is looking for ammount of Dirt moved a Day [up to 10-20 Cubic Yrds ] the machine you have is for more Detail or fine tuning optics Cat Headquarters is Harrisburg Pa but theres many Distrubution Stations [Parts]
The new administration… yeah my family has been entrepreneurs since 1939 and Joe and the democrats say our dedication and monetary planning is merely the result of riding the backs of the “working class”, never mind that none of our employees have worked 90 hour weeks or put up a single red cent of risk whereas my family is raised to do that from pre-teen age. Self sufficiency is at an all time low and I honestly have no idea if it will ever get better. Patriots Stand up for your rights, and I mean your common sense rights not what the government says.
I love It!! No buyers remorse here! Taking matters in your own hands.
Cat sent me to college full ride! Great products!!
No less than 20% of your savings should in gold and silver. The more tenuous and uncertain the times, the more your savings should shift from fiat currency to real money. These are very uncertain times.
I have a mini and find that articulating pivot point at the housing is useful for digging right up along a wall. Nudge up to the wall, swing the boom over parallel to it and you can dig as close as you need to and still rotate the body to dump well out of the way. I’m also eyeing up a dump trailer to compliment the mini, but at 6 tons it is more a midi and the dump trailer options get limited.
The motor in that excavator is made by yanmar, still a very good motor and that machine will treat you well. There is rumor that CAT will be making their own engines again in the near future, but they will most likely be (what the compact machinery shop supervisor at the cat dealer I work at ) call Perkapillar engines, when Perkins and CAT build a engine together. enjoy that machine! It’s a nice one.
Smart idea, local people probably will need something to dig up so maybe it will pay it self off (in addition to cost that you would have paid for the work done that you going to do in your property)
The future has always been uncertain, no one has a crystal ball. Life's like that. Assessing what's happening around you, making decisions and taking action. That's what we do in our lives.
Inflation didnt start with this Administration, but I get it prices are crazy. Too bad you didnt do this before burning out 2 winches.
It fits his narrative, though. Lol
Wise words, especially on inflation, Bumkin got economy all screw balled up.
Great machine! Great video! Thanks Cody!
The boom swing is for digging offset digging near walls and sutch
Just a tip from past experiences and you probably know, but it helps a lot if you make up some retractable legs on the back end of the dump trailer.. takes the risk out of the chance if you happen to leave the ball unlocked/wrong ball ect or if the mechanism fails...
Rented one for a backyard project. Had a blast in that thing. I will own one one day.
I bought a backhoe last year for most of the reasons you stated. Cheers and God bless!
Just noticed. Damn! that Tupee' sure sits well now. lol!
I just bought a hitachi mini ex for my property, you won’t regret that purchase!
Best invest for a homestead or farm in my opinion great move
They don't make land anymore and what land we have keeps going up in price
good trailer! i just bought a 16' Iron Bull gooseneck dump trailer and have had no regrets!
Think of a storm that comes and you have to clear a drain of ice - now a steel hand reaches down clears a ditch and the pipe under a road...
It seems exciting! Good luck!
The 303.5 is a fine machine! Such a versatile machine. Minis have become nearly a necessity in construction.
First Americans showed up on the dock yesterday we are staying open in September for are friends to get a chance out on the water fishing has bin great
Love that you didn’t do the typical UA-cam thing of making us wait 9 minutes for the reveal.
For those older operators out there. I added sturdy but flexible step( so it lifts out in tight places) for getting in and out of the cab. Slipping and falling off on of these is no fun.
So many things to unpack in this video. As someone who's in academia now I'm always torn about real work vs. the work I do now. If things go sideways, which it looks like they will, I don't currently have a Plan B. We've got supplies and as much on that end as we can, but income is something else altogether. I need to spend some serious time working on those secondary sources of income in case I have to leave my current position in the insane asylum.
Cody I'm happy for you guys, I love my dump trailer. And yes I paid about $9000 dollars trailer on the road and have had people offer me up to $13000.00 because they can't find them around here.
I think if I could only have one, it would be the backhoe loader, You could pick a used one up for < $20K and its more versatile IMHO than a mini track machine.
Blaming the new administration with them on the job for six month's lol. Commander Bone Spurs was a disaster.
Just think of the moat and ramparts you could make with that mini-excavator!
Sweetloaf ❤❤❤❤❤🍭🍭🍭🍭🍭 Wranglerstar Family ❤❤❤❤❤🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷, Wranglerstar Critters ❤❤❤❤❤, treats and tummy rubs
I am so glad that Juriah is still with you even after the move. He is a good man and he works for even a better man. God bless you and your family and friends.
I have a Kubota U25. I use it as much or more than I do my tractor. having a thumb is important.
The boom slew is really useful! Like, if you can get square to your trench line you can slew the arm to suit, or if you want to dig a pit you can use the cab slew and boom slew together to get a nice square put instead of having to track side to side or ending up with a pizza wedge pit haha
Make a call to a encon dealer and get yourself a tilt rotator and get blown away of the versatility it ads!
Great machine, i like it very much.
Best wishes!
I have the 304 Cat. Best bang for the buck, 800hr and zero issues.
