That was smooth, exiting the excavator. Looked like me getting off a ladder.😂😂😂
My first thought was "I think I got that on camera"
Stumbling off rhe excavator deserves a thumbs up
If you are looking for a rake it was in the back of the truck on the last load. Time stamp 22:00
Haha Yep!
Sean, you're quite the multi-tasker operating that equipment that's doing a job and flying that drone at the same time filming the whole thing..
It's a huge pain to get all the camera footage but I think it's worth it. I hope you enjoyed!
Man for a one man show you've got lots of equipment 🙂. 3 dump trucks, 3 skid steers plus the mini bobcat, mini ex and attachments galore. No job too big or too small.
Haha Eric 👍
Top rate work done .It’s a pleasure watching you.Your fan club loves the way you do business and your work.
Thank you Cookies! Thanks for being a fan
Super nice work Shawn. You've got a good attention to detail!! Beautifully done. 🙂
Thank you Sheena!
Nice. that is one cool tool for getting that type of task done. Relly shows how far out some of those tree roots extend when the cameras go flying.
Haha Joe you have no idea!
That place has a strong gravitational pull. Your cameras kept hitting the dirt and you did too. I laughed a little, well a lot. I do that all the time too. Great job it looks great!!!
My first thought was wondering if the cameras caught it! Ooops!
Are you and your tripods having words? I mean Sean surely you could find some others to hire. You don't have to just keep knocking them over to keep them in line. 😁
Great work Sean. Always a pleasure to see you work.
3:10 keeping you tripping in the video shows a lot about your wholesome character. Your an awesome contractor
Hahah I thought it was funny! My first through was hoping the camera caught it...
I’m sorry Shawn, I laughed when you fell! It was so graceful it was barely noticeable 😂
My first thought was, I think the camera got it! Haha
@@GCFD your legs were just like…..nope! 🤣
Send me a postcard next trip Shaun haha. That is a very useful bit of kit 👍
👍
Hello from the Netherlands .
thanks for the video Shawn .
Sincerely, Hollandduck
A very good Friday morning to you all from Wellington Somerset in the uk
Harley Rake for the win , Alex!
Think your business is developing in an interesting way. It all involves and eye for detail and, if you do start doing more landscaping, you have the drainage knowledge and experience
Nice one, Shawn - the school/college looks like it has brushed up pretty nice. A rewarding job to be a part of.
It came out very well indeed. 👍
Really nice Shawn. Really liked the edit. Heading thru your area on the way to buy a tractor in Roxboro this morning.
👍 I hope the trip went well for you! - Shawn
One man show, this time around.
Great Job Shawn! I like the drone footage. 😉
Thank you! I really like it too although it takes me a few tries to get it looking good. I'm getting better.
Rake and Roll Shaun!😄
Harley rake does a nice job!
I like the honesty of your videos, warts and all, Shawn!
Haha thank you. I like to tell the story of the day whether it's good or bad. 👍
Great work as always! I wish I had a harley rake finishing my drain project over the weekend. That thing really levels the dirt well. Thanks to your channel I just did my very own 4 inch pvc (schedule 40 ;) ) down spout system. I used all your tips and tricks and I'm very grateful to you and your channel. I did Y clean outs at each downspout and even found caps that pickup my 3 inch rectangular down spouts and open up into 4 inch pvc. You are a wealth of knowledge. Keep up the awesome videos.
That's excellent news! Congrats on finishing up your job!
Excellent clearing Shawn. Pleasure to watch you work.
Now that's a great job done Shaun,I must say you have some superb machines and your a top guy on using them 👍
Thank you Taylor! 👍

16:43 - next piece of equipment should be the ground conditioner/ruckus rake to put a nice finish on it
17:57 ask and ye shall receive!
Haha good call!
24:05 yay, it's back!
Shaun, remember your guys who died all around the world. Visit your guys and say their names. When we were good guys
You have 10s of thousands.
Lest they are non forgotten.
👍👍
verry nice result ... cheers
👍👍
Impressive tool! Well done,
Man, everything keeps falling down today. 😊
Nice job!
Thank you!
Can you come to Oklahoma I have 2 acres that could use a good UA-cam video! My wife is Panamanian and loves to see men working! We've been togeather 33 yrs. and she is the only women I know who would rather be gifted concrete then diamonds. We have enjoyed your videos so much and learned from you and your crew! Happy Thanksgiving and keep moving earth!
Thank you Charles! I'm glad you guys are enjoying my stuff! Happy thanksgiving!
Another fine job. You got all the equipment. It's work smart, not hard and you definitely have it. Good stuff. 👍👍🙂🇨🇦
Cheers to you.
👍👍 Laurie
Have learned that pulling straight up is the best method !
👍👍
Awesome job man, you make it look easy af 😮
Thank you! I think the key is to keep moving forward. I felt like I wasted time bringing the excavator then leaving with an empty truck but instead of focusing on that I had the skid back there and making progress in no time.
Thanks for the video , happy thanksgiving
That cleaned up really nice! Great job as always. 👍
Looks great they will be Highly Satisfied with that transformation, Congrats on the expansion of Equip. The RakeGrabber combo is super & the bigger Bobcat is sweet. Ever expanding the List.
Tractor with a box blade.
Looks a lot better now, will look even better with grass, and yes, I thought you would bring the rake, that is what I would also have done
That grapple though, that looks extremely handy, it raked and also could load it with the grapple function, you will get a lot of use out of that one I am sure!
For sure! I always get a grapple on any attachment because it adds so much.
Wow that was an awesome one man job! Great work on the drone video especially at the beginning. Who did your video when you were in the Volvo skid steer? I knew you would be using the Harley rake on this one. I am hoping that no cameras were hurt or damaged during this video. Great job!
Hey Steve thank you! If you look closely I have a straw hat upside down in my lap with the drone controller held inside. That works well for keeping the controller from accidentally controlling the drone and I've used it on a lot of projects where I'm in the machine.
Nice job you’ve been doing a little bit a everything now👍🏻 I said harley rake 😂
Happy Thanksgiving 🦃
Great video like always Shawn! I was thinking, you should try include your logo in a corner of your thumbnails so people can tell it's one o your videos. I almost missed this video on my homepage until I read the cannel name.
I do have a logo that I include on the thumbs but it often doesn't show up. Perhaps I should make it a permanent part of the thumb..
Shawn, HAPPY THANKSGIVING to You, your family and all the guys and gals on the crew. WTG Great Job! 👍
A few things:
- I laughed, sorry. 😁
- The higher-up hovering drone shots were a highlight. 👍🏻
- My grandfather told me that, in the olden days, when they wanted to dig up roots, they would fence in some pigs for a few days and they would snout around the roots until they were exposed.
- I guessed the rake thing correctly! 🙂
22:04 goodbye rake 😢
You are a good driver of that Volvo !
Thank you! It's an awesome machine.
You did a very nice clean up. Awesome root rake!
Nice work! Happy Thanksgiving and thank you for all the awesome content! We look forward to each new video.
Hi Happy Thanksgiving 😊
You too!
Works wonders!
The Harley rake
👍👍
Happy Thanksgiving!
Solo job. I love it!
At 16:15 I said, "Harley rake!"
👍👍 You got it!
Good Job!
Thank you! 👍
ah I didnt know you had that ... its what I was thinking fo
I have one for the mini skid too that I rebuilt and welded a bobcat plate onto. ua-cam.com/video/LRW7lKvpL8o/v-deo.html
Nice job, too bad they did not a put some straw down.
👍👍
So satisfying! 😅
👍
Seems like you used every bit of equipment you own for this one.😂
I know, right? It was a simple job but I did it over the holiday and needed the three trucks for a place to fill all the volume of roots I was removing. I could have brought the harley rake and used it with the volvo but I wanted to try it on the bobcat T450. I was also trying to beat the light, so I left the one truck hooked to the trailer and just grabbed another trailer quickly and loaded up.
you already have it power rack
the ones I have seen were behind machines but same thing
👍
Would you have had less dirt in the load if you would have picked your piles up and dropped them with the root rake a couple times before loading? I probably would have ran a disc plow after root raking then harley rake. Then use one of those angle iron grading frames to eliminate all hand work assuming I could not get a desirable finish back dragging with a harley rake
how many hours would you say you had into that job? nice work!
Hope you post the next result that end result !
👍
What attachment is on the mini excavator
I know this is off topic but is metal pipe good to use in jobs?
It depends on what you're doing with it.
Did you get your rake... You covered it with dirt....
What did those cameras ever do to you
Nice job. So you work holidays too huh? Lol
Yep! My next few days are busy so I was trying to get this one finished up.
What are Jeremy and Ronald up to when you're solo on jobs like this?
They were unavailable as I did this over the holiday when the school was out.
I'm thinking about getting a bobcat t550 or t450 tell us more about yours
The T450 is awesome. It's much stronger thank the specs list. I really like it because it is compact, lightweight, and powerful. Also, everyone looks at the specs of the T450 is passes it over, making it available in the used market.
@@GCFD I'm Definitely going to take the time and look at the T450
@@workmansasphalteltonworkma5864 I’ve got some footage of the T450 beaking out a thick concrete apron that if I knew how thick it was I would have brought a bigger skid. Mine is a 2016 with 1400 hours and I paid like 26k used on Facebook.
@@GCFD definitely interested in one hopefully after the first of the year I can get one also me and my girlfriend are big fans of your channel and thank you for replying
fell and didn’t edited it out straight raw
Haha 👍
@@GCFD it’s refreshing seeing someone be themselves and not act a certain way for the camera , happy thanksgivings to you and your family / Gate city family as well
@@scottboys4js it’s interesting you mention that because I’ve never thought of acting differently on camera. I try to share the story of the job or of the day.
@@GCFD we appreciate it ,
The camera fell and you fell too 😅
Yep!
Harley rake attachment
Awesome videos, horrible operator 😂 nothing personal

What happened to all of your employees?…They seemed like good people…..
This seems to be a one man job. With him being a small business owner he needs to keep is hourly revenue as high as possible. So it's a waste of payroll to have extra men/women there if he can do it himself.
Shawn what drone are you using? Thanks!
I am using a mavic air 2s here but I also have a mavic mini 2 (crashed 1 too many times) and mini 3.
Yes 'letsdig18' does much of the same thing !
👍👍
Stumbling off rhe excavator deserves a thumbs up
