  • 4Kequipment set us up with some grade control! One of the great things about this kit is I can also switch it over to the cat in a matter of minutes! I’ve been using it for a couple months now and it’s great. This is the first foundation I’ve dug with it but it’s great for doing septics as well. I now don’t have to get out of the machine to lay out any part of the septic or shoot any grades. Using the measure feature I can measure out my septic bed using the bucket, it measures in any direction you move the machine which is really cool. I’m using a laser on this job but I don’t even set up my laser when digging my septic beds now. Also comes in handy for digging in sewer lines and building rock walls.
    Feel free to message me with any questions about the idig and I can help you get set up with one.

    I hope that drone saw and avoided those powerlines versus just getting damn lucky and missing them.

    Another one I missed, well, I am catching up now. Those rounded boulders and that gravel, if there was ever gold around there it sure looks just by stratigraphy that that would be a good place to look. Except you live where it is flat, but then where did river rounded boulder of that size come from? I know the glaciation brought them in and left them somewhere near, but to get that shape they had to be in either a steep or a powerful river, and I don't see many mountains in your area.
    Maybe they were rounded in the region where they were from and then brought all the way down from the mountains and what you have hit an ancient moraine?
    That last one, just took me a min to figure it out.

    nice work and nice machine. i have a 340 cat and i notice all the new ones the door wont shut properly. i think its because the cabs are so are tight. If you have the window open a crack you'll notice it will shut easy. looking at getting an idig system for my other machine since cat has that stock but i'm sure the cost of the cat system would be way over priced if you figure out what they added on the cost you pay from the dealer

    I grew up vacationing in the Muskokas. I'm an operator in Alberta now and love your content. So cool to see the barge work and all the other stuff your company does. Keep up the great videos!

    Whats the Idig item with the lights on it by your right knee close to the windshield? Do the sensors on the stick and boom seem pretty tough?

    Nice work. You should take a pan and look for gold on the top of that clay any time you find big rocks there might be big gold. Or really red or black layers. If you find boulders of quarts all together its the mother load under it. Keep an eye out for them nuggets.

    12k unit? Matt does it save you the time to make the cost worth it?

    • @freeriderearthworks8889
      @freeriderearthworks8889  2 роки тому +1

      For me, 100%
      Like I said I’m usually solo so not having to constantly get out of the machine to check grade or set grade is a massive time saver. Even if you have a grade man it’s more efficient
