Trying a New Attachment on the Grading Disaster- FINALE
Вставка
- Опубліковано 29 вер 2024
- This was the most Pissed off I've been in a long time then the Cat breaks down, finally I get to start grading, then we pick up the new attachment and do a walk around on that and finally put it to work!
As usual a pleasure to watch , and that new attachment is awesome engineering , also great to see you teaching yourself the technique you have perfected 👍 Tam.
Thanks 👍
Use your power rake going forward. Boom down touch rake wheels, place boom in float and use the tilt to control/set your height. back dragging is not needed as long as you give the rake time to process the material as you go forward. Speed and depth is the key.
Back dragging cleans up the track marks though
this guy is the man version of richard rawlings
I was thinking that. Actually living in the real world. #RichardRawlingswearsskinnyjeans
No bedazzled jeans on this channel hahahaha
You know you have the right Landscape guy, when he gets excited about quality of the Dirt.
I discovered your channel a few days ago. You probably won't see comments this far back. I'm hoping you show videos from after the lawn has grown. Fingers crossed I'll find one.
The power rake for your ventrac would be a little more nimble for residential job. I used a walk behind dingo with a Harley rake (what we call it) for my personal home. I love those things.
yes it would but its a little light for a site like this.
I did not know about the idler wheels on cats having the extra groove. That is awesome
I absolutely love mine they work great on rock driveways to this is an awesome machine
Right on!
Mine is a woods brand that could be the difference
I'm so glad to see you get a Harley rake I asked a long time ago for you could do a video on it. I love my woods brand rake for sure they do a wonderful job. But I have found something even better that I think you will see the potential in this attachment if you get a chance to look it up it's called a tr3 landscape rake. YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED. LOVE THE VIDEOS KEEP UP THE HARD WORK
another great video...keep 'em coming !
I hear you love the power rack
Maybe I havnt used a power rake enough to get why people love them so much but I prefer a rock rake (landscape rake) way more can flick all the junk into the bucket dump it into the low spots and keep raking it stretching the black dirt out can turn a yard that big into 3 buckets max of junk to haul away and only have to hand rack a couple track marks.
Should have got pneumatic tires on your power rake. Every dirt guy needs more tires to worry about.
Lol... u a farmer?... lol just curious :-)
@@ss67camaronut lol. No, but I have the utmost respect for farmers.
@@braddenham9189 you'd be a dumbass if you didn't.
What do you do for work? Just seems relivant to the conversation.
🤔
@@JamesKain I do dirt work. Grew up around farmers. The tire comment is a joke. There's more than one reason tracks are so popular. The solid tires on that rake don't go flat.
@@braddenham9189 thought so. And I did too. Maine has a ton of farms.
Congratulations on your new purchase; hope you make good money using it... Ps I so dislike a negative flow of water (flow of surface water that goes towards building)...
Seed, then the hay on top for germination.
Stan very hard to get used to power rake on very sloped areas flat ground easier to get used to. Good operators that use rakes all the time will wind row rocks. Also helps rake first before adding topsoil it only takes seat time. When I was young it was all hand raking shovels and wheelbarrows. That what my job was picking up rocks all day when I was 10 years old helping my father. It’s so nice all the equipment now I learned to use a skidloader real fast when we bought our first one in the 80s. Rockhound was one of the best attachments we bought. Stan when you get good at running they will rip up hard packed ice and snow just be really careful of the parking lot.👮♂️LM
OH MAN- I can use the power rake on ICE? never thought of that- Brilliant! Thank you!
We use that term for running the dozers on the pipeline also haha the butt feel haha
Black Lives Matter flag and Biden sign in the yard! Charge them extra!
I would have passed on the job just for that...
Nah give them a discount. Good to see people standing up for what’s right!
put the dirt in their driveway
2x the price
@@Wuce_Brillis notice how your comment has no likes
We've had issues with that same auto bucket lock system, we had a grease zirk break off somehow and if let the locking pin rust and it took serious beating to get the thing to even move. Hopefully our cylinder doesn't have any issues like this.
Looks like you inhaled a lot of that black gold.
Love the vids man keep them coming plz
Huh, I just realized I'm the same way. "Don't mess with me in work mode."
Yeah- I get intense when Im working.
@@Dirtmonkey if I was you with that new toy... I'd plan a huge project for it.
Admit it, you're putting a golf course in you backyard.
Or are you smoothing out the yard over your bunker to blend it in?
The best thing for those around you to do when you get into work mode is for them to... Get into work mode too
Are you still using the SR3 rake at all?
Can you use that for grinding the ice in your driveway or is that just for dirt
No one has a Leatherman 😂🤣😂🤣 I feel naked without it. Probably gets used 10 times a day, by me or whoever needs it. Everyone seems to need it.... I've bought everyone there own..... doesn't seem to fix the problem.😁😁😁
Get yourself a landscape rake attachment (rockhound) it will save your self man power and back labor
Keep the info coming
Is this the same driver you had a few months ago that you made a video on?
In my experience with Bobcat’s soil conditioner there’s no need to rake-in the seed. After running the conditioner I broadcast the seed, spread straw, and set up sprinklers and timers. I feel that keeping the seedbed moist is the key to quick establishment.
I love those pliers, I've got an 8 inch pair. They are so nice to use. (the ones Tim used to bend the cotter pin).
Rotodairon. One pass and done
when i worked in general contracting if u were not on site by 6am u were late XD only time u were allowed to be late is if the place didnt open till 8 but i would just show up on site at 6 and work till i had to leave to make it to the store
These videos are not political so regardless of a flags shown or a sign shown, just watch the video. This should be the last place people complain about a damn flag or sign.
Thank you I agree
Gotta do away with the hydraulic quick attach . Less to brake means less to repair .
TRUE-but thats one option I love!
I thought you used a power rake on the ventrac you had.
7:28 Otherwise known as working by the seat of your pants...
I don't think i would make a habit of spinning around on the front wheels of the power rake. I could see spinning it too fast and finding a whole that bends the arm
So you don’t rip up the grind with tires
Or tracks
I forget I’m watching you react to you, it’s awesome tho! 👍
Stan the farmer...
I know it's always different where you live, but i remember doing a demo job and we could only start the machines at a certain time, maybe it was 8-9am i don't remember, i know last month doing a apartment job we started at like 8:45 am, you are only allowed to start at 9am so someone called and complained that we had to stop and wait for another 10 minutes lol. Maybe it's just me but 8:45 for a load of dirt and to start making noise is not really something i would be mad about, if around neighbors and starting up chainsaws etc i usually prefer about 9am. Once doing a shed near a lake the neighbor came over when we were just about getting close to done, said he was upset and wanted it moved because it blocked his view from his kitchen sink window doing the dishes, even called people on us lol. What is crazy too is that the home owner let him use part of his property for his driveway, because the other neighbor, his own brother wouldn't even let him do it etc something along those lines. Sounds like no one liked him. I suggested we should of painted a big happy face on the back side of the shed. I guess the moral of the story is jobs often don't go smoothly and there is always hangups etc, try not to stress over it or else you end up with grey thinning hair like me and im only in my 30's.
What kind of pants are those?
The Black Lives Matter flag 😂😂😂😂 people either trying to conform to the “social norms” in town or don’t want their house burned.
Have you thought about buying a 3/4ton or 1ton Chevy sense you have a dodge and ford to compare them I have a 2006 and 2018 duramax and love them haven’t given me one bit of trouble
The company I work for bought a new fleet of 2020 3/4 ton gas trucks and they are garbage.
Dirt perfect. Check out dirt monkey
Don’t need to back drag all that,
Let the power rake do the work will save you time and money. I’ve done tons of ball field restorations and used to do them that way but found the back dragging and smoothing out was not needed as the power rake made quick work of all those undulations
For what its worth I've operated skid loaders since the 70's and used most brands and the best I've come across by far is the Takeuchi. They just never quit.
I would have loved to see a Before-and-After of this job site (and perhaps others as a finale showing the great work you guys do).
Vultrux, there are 2 other vids , first one shows site as stan found it. Check em out , cool series, or whatev. Be cool man! :-)
Goto part 1 and u can
Stanley does a great job! He is the type of contractor everyone needs! Very professional!
he's an IDIOT
Brother I have to say you are a knowledgeable man. If I lived in your state and needed that kind of work done I would be calling on you. Thank you for showing us what to look for and for showing us how to look out for scams. It seems like there are more people out to scam others than there use to be. Thank you for entertaining us especially with everything that is going on right now. I just found your channel and I'm glad I did. May God bless you and your family.
Thank you- That just made my Day- appreciate it!
I’m in KS. When we seed something like that, we dump the seed down, take a small lawn tractor with about 10’ of chainlink fence on the back and drag that around to make sure the seed is under the dirt and even all over the area. Seems to work good.
Always so easy to throw the truck driver under the bus.
@Echo Furrian Dirt pit 24 hours? =D
We all want to be shown grace and mercy. Work mode or not you are are follower of God and you seem like a pretty unmercyful master on this job who will want mercy shown on him. Who would want to work for a guy who will bad mouth him by job position.....
Great video Stan! Enjoy your new toy!! Thank you so much! I installed my first versa lock wall this month 121 ft long garden wall curvy. It was a challenge but turned out great. Thanks again
Right on!
That power rake is awesome! Thanks for buying American-made products! 🇺🇸 💪
I love it!
If I owned that house, I would pay you to dig all that dirt out thats sitting on the foundation walls and build me a new wall about 30 ft from the house. Just saying,,,,
The government doesn’t hand out walls and considering their flags that’s not gonna happen
He said they were coming back for retaining walls next year.
Hi,I don't see why you couldn't power rake over the utilities?How deep do you bury them in Michigan.Its works nice.Are the teeth on the rake carbide?
These are right at the surface. inches down
Stan i finally bought one from caterpillar and love it. You should try one with power angle!
Great video
Dirt Monkey: I crack myself up.
Me: 🤣🤣🤣🤣😬
Someone's gotta 😂
That flag on the garage is funny...surely it was put up as a joke 😂
I just said the same thing. Before I saw your comment. Lol. Either a joke or don’t want their house burned. Lol
I hope it's a joke
Was thinking the same thing about that flag
I sure know how you feel when people are late. Why am I the only one that is consistently on time. Pisses me OFF!
Im with you on that
Amen if I can get my ass there on time anyone can get there on time
I'm someone who prides myself on being early and I can help but feel that you are being disrespectful of my time if you show up late to meet with me. And if you ask the driver why he wasn't there early, he'd likely have many excuses that all boil down to him not getting an early enough start. And in this case, you are being disrespectful of the customer's money because you are slowing down progress and time is money on the job.
I rarely see you hot around the collar, but sometimes it's warranted. 👍 Never make the boss wait, ever!! Another awesome video Stanley.🙏
Maybe theres something about "Johns", i have one for a brother and hes slow, lazy and late!
There is a reason that the "orange houses" are called "johns". Nice name by the way.
looks good for first time.. using.... one of the few youtubers not using the same rap music in the background... thank fucking god for that
Check out mike at dirt perfect youtube channel he just tried out a new power rake that articulates vertically and horizontally lwith hydraulic power Made by Ami attachments.
He going to do a full reveiw of it in a future video .

Funny how one flag destroys the neighborhood property value #facts
Is this the same dump truck driver that bailed on that job filling in the pool at those condos? I'm pretty sure I would share Tim's opinion on this one.
I remember that episode too.
I use independent owner/operators for hauling. Owners are way more reliable than drivers !
@Right Round you're right. I recall an early video of Stan's talking about sleeping in his dumptruck
That was a different guy. That was an outside contractor owner/operator.
What you just demonstrated by having to fix the quick attach system was the absolute proof of how useless those hydraulic quick connect options really are .Think about the down time you are now facing.
This stupid thing has really thrown a wrench into your schedule and the residual side effects are short temperedness and shareing your grief with others who have no idea as to why you are so pissed off .
But you can evaluate that for yourself.
That’s mtw power rake was damn near 13k 😭😳😳.
I just wanted to say that... That thing is NOT for mixing your soils. How much mixing r u getting with 2" teeth? U want your grass roots to grow deep! Like at least 6", n that's not putting the " black gold" down deep enough.
That equipment is made to remove rocks from the too surface of your area so u don't have to hand rake. And it puts all the rocks in one area to b picked up. N then just seed.
At least that's what we have used it for for past ten years.
I think ( and well, kno) that if u want to mix soil , it should be done on the side in piles, then put in.
But for mixing......I don't think so
But for removing rocks and grading a seed able surface, YES!
Good luck
All right you figured it out you needed to go over that bring all the other junk to the surface before you put down the black dirt right? But hind sight is 20/20. And you haven't got your rake yet. So next time you're grading and you have groups and stuff you bring that along and you'll clean up the dirt before you do anything else. I love that rake you know if you go forward with the race you'll be shoving those rocks in front of you. But you can't do that with the black dirt down. My good reminds me of the gravel ridge that people use like Spencer's Lawn Care for taking rebel driveway rock out of grass siding. Anyway God bless America and God bless you and your family I love your show bye
...I'm guessing somewhere in 470+ comments this has already been mentioned, but new viewers need to know that when you start using the power rake around the 22-minute mark, you can reverse the direction of the end plates for pulling dirt (and rotation of the rake versus pushing) and it will allow better control of distribution.
Thanks for pointing that out.
6:45 Actually, grass grows best in either silty sand or sandy silt. Silty sand, however only works in areas with plenty of rain or ones with a sprinkler system. Sandy silt= 5% sand to 95% clay.
This means you are wasting your money spreading all that black earth where you're going to grow grass.

Those come tracks come off as worse than the other style you are referring to in my experience.
not in mine
@@Dirtmonkey at least once a week .
I'm thinking that before the "black dirt" goes down, he should've tilled the property and power raked then added the blk dirt? Idk, I'm not an expert at this. It just seemed like there was way too much debris like rocks and roots still present to start a non compacted seed surface; no,?
I am going to disagree, a dump truck is not the most dangerous peice of equipment. The most dangerous would be a Large Excavator because you have massive blind spots. A dump truck is only dangerous when you have a dangerous operator
Truck driver always run loaded with tag axle up?
Might have lifted it to make a corner then left it lifted so he could get the truck jacked around to dump it. S
He lifted as he came in
With allá the love i have for the job... It's call soil, manure spreader what you need... Bc it goes in the back, so you spread it and don't drive back on it...
Being a truck driver is the worst. You get yelled at to hurry up and then yelled at for going too fast. If you're a driver, don't worry about other people's mouths. Do your thing.
Mmm
Using a power rake the flaps should be on opposite side of machine for bringing waste product with you and it should be a 3 pass process adjusting a door above teeth .ie door on no5 first then no3 then no1 ie. start by letting large stone through on first past then medium stone on second past then on last past no stone bigger then 1 inch stone passes through leaving a perfect seed bed no hand raking
I used John Deere 955 with blec power rake
We usually bucket first Harley rake it then final stage is a implament called Rock hound it actually gives a finer almost finer finish then hand raking look it up it will be your new favorite implament
How do you get away with dumping dirt in the road, in Virginia if you dump dirt in the road like that you will get a ticket in a hurry. If we dump any dirt or gravel in this state it has to be on site or you have to get a special permit to dump in the street and that's practically impossible to get unless you have some extenuating circumstances.
Lol I see black road not dirt. That is some nice black dirt i wich I cud find some like that my me it be nice in my razed beds. That blue power attempt if you got a job for redoing a lawn an put down new Sod it grind up the dirt so that sod will grow and take hold of the dirt an grow like crazy.
I was just wondering if anyone clean the driveway and street? I always try to leave no trace I was there , but the finished product. Great job 👍
1:45 not a triple grouser. Grousers are on the track surface.
He should have said triple flange rollers
why is all that dirt pushed up against the garage? A LOT of water is heading toward the garage. that soft bank will soak up water and push into the garage wall and building. hope you have a good lawyer
I absolutely get pissed when this happens. Either material shows up late or stuff breaks.
"If I don't have a load of dirt by 9:00...." *dump truck noises*
Speak of the devil and he shall appear
Thanx. Educational informative and entertaining. Love watching you operating and explaining, easily understood and great camera angles.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Lots of the landscapers I worked with on big commercial jobs used to Harley rake before putting down too soil to get rid of all the rocks and roots the rake it again after to get prepared seed bed like you said your new to it and I’ve never played with one but that’s what I see lots of people doing in my are worth trying out.
Should work great on your driveway I used a similar designed tool called a rock rake for agriculture applications on my drive way
yoi can mix sand from the base also to save black dirt then add more black dirt on top and mix again . save money manufacturing more top soil better drainage .
You were salty for a good reason and your right you need a new cog for the machine because that one didn't work it was missing teeth and stopped the rest of the machine :)
Power Raking: Put the tires on the ground, arms in float and curl controls the depth. Drum should spin in the opposite direction of travel.
You run a great company very impressed with all your videos and everything you do on your jobs great job! Subscribed!
i cant believe you didnt fire that friggin guy after the other day.... id have told him to take me to the remains of that burnt down house or his ass is grass.... youre nicer than i am...
I live I Canada and I’m getting my first snow fall of the season
Same here- 3-8" tomorrow in Minnesota
Bobcat Makes the best Harley rake on the market. Bullet proof machine has float option and direct drive
Should have invested in a rock hound attachment it rakes and picks up all the garbage all in one process.
