Funny story, after watching the first video of this job where you got stuck, I got an SSV65 stuck GOOD. Almost rolled it too. Long story short, I was operating above a retaining wall and ship went sideways. Wall sucked me right in. Luckily someone with bigger equipment offered to bail me out. That's always a humbling feeling for sure.

I’ve been in situations as Alex is in. Oh to be young and invincible again lol. He needs to give it time or he’ll end up like me, barely able to move. The monkey claw seems to work out pretty well. I’ll kick back and wait on the last video of this project. Keep up the good work !

With the kubota strainer, when you insert the nozzle, funnel, or whatever, make sure that you don’t punch out the bottom. The pieces from the filter collect in the tank, and then eventually clog the fuel system. We just got our mini ex back from the dealer for that problem

I would shut my entire business down in a heartbeat, and move to come work for you brother. I love the diversity of your projects. I’m stuck in a cycle of brush and land clearing and gravel driveways. It’s the biggest demand in this area for us. I love retaining walls and paver patios etc etc....basically hardscaping. But not enough money in the area for a huge demand for it and the logistics to get the materials here are normally a extra cost that turns potential customers away from having it done. Not too mention me and the wife has been talking for two years about moving somewhere new. Lol anyways lots of love and respect to you, your crew and family!

i love the ability of the monkey claw and id love to see it in a wood processing application, from holding any size log to having more power to offer in the potential slipping out of logs or twigs in clean up and brush clearing. i guess if not this exact version maybe a logging/wood processing version?

To answer your question about using fancy trucks for work, yep, I do! Lol. I use my Lexus RX350 to haul my mowers and blowers etc. the small stuff goes in the back and the big stuff goes on my trailer. Works out pretty well honestly. Plus I get all kinds of looks from not being “normal” lol

I use trucks as trucks. Currently own a lifted 1989 Chevy K1500 regular cab short bed that is used to tow my 5th wheel. Its a small 26 foot 5th wheel but most people think the truck will implode if you tow a 5th wheel with a half ton.

Great Call, Good Foreman.

2:47 You should see my truck. It's a '97 Protege. It is a true work vehicle. Battle scars like it's been in a war. I love it though.

I live in Minnesota and don't recall it being -40F. Either the ambient temp sensor is bad, or there is a special world climate surrounding your truck but only near that sensor.

From what I've seen the Monkey claw is a huge step up from what is commercially available. Maybe a vibrator function added? Shaking the dirt loose has got to be hard on the valves. I'm surprised at then strength it has.
