Thanks for sharing im just starting out at a young 62 I've been operating equipment in mining for many years and it's time for me to work for me thanks again. Cheers Dave
Lol, ty….I have the benefit of being able to edit the video. What I would say is that I do ok with it on my excavator, but a different machine would be a learning curve. You just get to know your stuff as you run it more, and that makes it easier.
@@DirtAndRocks Fast becoming on of my favorite channels to watch and listen to... very easy to follow and comprehend! Didn't realize so much goes into grqding etc.
My contract was just to dig it out. I am not sure what they did with it after that. I drove by a few weeks later and it was done. Thanks for watching and commenting!
I quoted an hourly rate with a 4 hour minimum. There ended up being an add on to haul off some debris, so it ended up at about 7 hours plus landfill fees. What is not in this video is that the spoil was moved to the other side of the building and graded in to do a drainage improvement. So this plus the other side was maybe 5 hours.
for grading, I usually run 1/2 - 2/3 throttle on this machine, just works best for me. Owner was going straight on top of the subgrade with concrete, no gravel underneath. Thanks for watching

Great video. Thanks for sharing
Thank you for watching and commenting, I appreciate it very much :)
Why no good gravel underneath where the new concrete is going? Doesn’t freeze where you are? No vehicle traffic driving on it?

thank you so much for this!
How come you like running near idle? Give it some throttle. Maybe you should have gone a bit deeper for gravel
Great video

Did you upcharge the customer on the paint to touch-up that block wall ?
Yeah that was unfortunate, there were some old broken off fence posts in there that were encased in concrete, bucket slipped and scuffed the wall.
Great job.
But that guy needs a helmet!!⚠️
