Building a Hunting Cabin 8: Using the JCB Tele-skid
In this episode of building a hunting cabin, I finally get to put the JCB Teleskid to a test. I use it to dig all of the porch post piers and it works great. I share our method for laying out the dig locations and how we install our sonotubes. The Teleskid performed quite well using the auger.
Please share with your friends and make sure to hit that thumbs up. Also, feel free to leave any questions or comments down below. Thank you for the support.

Thanks for the ambition you mustered to point your camera into one of the bore holes to show real world results. That was fantastic content creation right there.
“What if you just level out your stick” 😂😂😂
I am fully impressed! It’s just a complete kzread.infoUgkxGqOCINHE0Z0E5gxzSdNi9NWGugRY5Hm2 plan with the best resources and step by step instructions . These shed plans are so satisfying as if the sheds build themselves on their own. Worthy work Ryan!
Good to see the recent generation of JCB skidsteer at work. I remember driving one of the first prototypes back in the early 90's, when I worked for JCB as a 'young'ish' engineer. Frank Mueller, who developed the concept at Mr JCB's request, asked if I was an experienced skid steer driver. Uh no! It was just that the joystick controls were like the backhoe loader's controls, the machine which I was designing. Bobcat operators struggled to run it because they were used to push-pull levers and foot pedals. I filled up the foot well and had trouble getting out with my shoes buried! The roof didn't have any glass in it and the full bucket spilled over at full height, dumping lots of dirt in the cabin! Fun days!

Great story
I wish I had a digger like that when I was building wood fences 40 years ago. We either dug them by hand using clam shell diggers or by renting a little beaver auger. Digging 50 plus holes in a day was a bit of a chore!
Kyle great job on getting the porch post piers done! I am looking forward to seeing you guys get the porches built! Thanks for all the excellent content!
You remind me of my uncle! He owned a metal building construction business. It was my very first job i was 16 and he sure whipped me into shape! Great job at keeping with the grind!

Great my 8th grade math teacher is proven correct. Good job with the practical demonstration of The Pythagorean Theorem. BTW, you have been using Euclidean geometry with an excellent real world example. Great work.
extend the arm to reduce pitch on the auger don't move the machine extend and retract the arm. just a thought.
Thanks again for sharing your info on the layout of that building it was really good, thanks 👍
Thank you Ryan for releasing a great product as this shedbuilder.work Most of the plans I have imagined in my mind are put down on your woodworking plans. This is more like a genius job. I love it!
Another great video! Thanks again
Really liking this job. Thanks for bringing it to us. I've always loved the logic of math , so I get it.
Another great video and just love the Tele-skid the side door must be helpful. That's going to be some building when done can't wait till the end.
Extremely interesting especially when I am planning on building a pole barn here in NE Ct in 2020. Keep up the great instructional videos.
Nice work Kyle! 😃👍🏻👊🏻
Looking good
Was trying to save this, but had to watch this morning. Went by way too fast thoigh, & really WANT more😁. Love the vids, & awaiting the next one👍🏻 Cheers✌🏼
Excellent as usual!!!
That was a great explanation of how you squared up the porches , usually when people start talking math I drift off hahahhaa but u had me the whole way 👌👌👌
Just a small trick we used when drilling pier holes when we get to the right level we drop in the hole about half a bucket of water in the bottom spin the auger as fast as you can and it will clean the hole alot better if too wet drop some lime in the hole and spin the auger In the last few years we have been using 14 tonne excavators with multi speed augers which really clean the bottoms of the piers the other thing we do is dig the footings first then drill the piers after this quicker then doing it the other way especially if there is reo in the piers some of the excavators have cabins that side forward so the operator can see down the hole with out getting out of the machine from the retired Aussie builder that has drilled thousands of pier holes under his belt
Nice! Invite everyone to a 4th of July party on Aug 17. LOL

Good explanation on finding your points and keeping it square... BTW, I thought sure you were going to back up into that hole while you were explaining it... ;)
Great vids watching in England as a chippy
Kept waiting for you to step back into the hole.
Once you had the boom extended, it looked like you had a better view, and of course less of an arc when drilling I was going to comment that for a better view you could get a reversing camera and mount by the top lights, with a monitor inside.
Great post, great skiddy. Welker Farms Inc, Shelby Montana did a post/review of this wonderful JCB earlier this summer, for a few months. If ya like farmers, check their site out, you will enjoy it.
The visibility issue with the JCB could be remedied by extending the arm.

I would of just pulled a 12' 16' 20' off the building for the first layout. Since its only 16' wide. That is 3 4 5 multiplied by 4 . I know the longer the better, but sometimes you can make a mistake on the calculator. You guys do awesome work. Don't see many guys like yall down here in Florida.
When you back up towards those holes... I fear you’re gonna fall in!
Its about time you put out a video.

I am totally showing my Geometry teacher wife your method of squaring something off something else. She is always looking for examples for when kids say “when will we ever use this in real life?”
Absolutely super well explained. I would like to know what these buildings should cost. Needs no exact number, only about. I like to watch your videos, very informative. If you are a very good boss, it will be fun to work with you. Greetings from Germany.
Learn a lot from youre videos Kyle, could do with a piece on front of skid steer to show the drill is going down Straight, not at an angle, Its the same with anything new, like a tune you hear it once and say dont like that, but hear it a few times, say Yeeahh thats good, same as skid steer attachment, used once, me no likey!!, used more than once you likey! get my drift!! good job like the vid.
I have zero interest in construction and I really enjoy this series!
Remote Camera system attached to the coupler would solve the view issue if it also had a gps lidar sensors. You could also get some precision measurements as well..
Gotta get me one of those cordless hand crank augers
Extend the boom to aid in vision. 2ft further out would be great.
The peers must go down to bedrock or solid terrain not just 6 feet. A geological report is needed! If you build on a sand dune, there will be major cracks soon after. Maybe you've done that out already. Great videos in any case. Thanks for sharing.
I think the trick is to park the machine and just use the boom to clear.the dirt.
When you are pulling measurements off of the building to determine pier locations, how do you make sure you are coming off square and not at an angle? Do you use 2 tape measures at the same time and join them together at the correct length on each one?
Should be rather straight forward to put that drill on the telehandler and get rid of the skid. Example: _Digga's PDX2 to PD8 range of Earth Drills, also called Auger Drives, are ideally suited for telehandlers and truck cranes with a flow between 30 to 115 lpm. Used for all types of drilling applications_
What’s better than expected mean? Is it better than the Kabota? Have you tried the bobcat?
try using a control line and dispense with all the perpendicular bisector pythagorean theorem mumbo jumbo

@@dankolar6066 Once he figured out and shared the fix for the visibility problem your idea is as logical as mounting a little Wi-Fi camera to the front face of a car and to drive via a tablet screen bungeed to the sunvisor. Possible, technically feasible, but not in any way a superior solution to the one he found worked best. When you throw in he found the curve of the far pivot point to be a more acceptable angle therefore doing a superior job... It is more logical to assume you didn't watch his solution before sharing yours than yours is a logical solution.

You're watching a video about a building be built in America by Americans and filmed by a American, on a American website, on the internet originally invented in America, on a device that was originally invented in America. Tell me why your measurements are so great now? Just cause you don't understand? When I come across someone over the pond using the metric system I just use Google to convert it if I really want to know what it is.

@MostlyPeacefulCombatVet
4 жыл бұрын
There's no need for a pier. Especially with a concrete pad going over it. The compacted ground holds pressure against the pier from all other directions. I imagine kyle uses at least a 6 bag mix on them, and they are well below frost line, it looks. And they are large. They are only there to bear weight at this point. Everything will end up getting connected and tied back to the building. So uplift is of absolutely no concern here either. There is some math behind all of that too. But most of it comes from doing the stuff every single day. In short answer. No
