Fact!!!

Been watching your videos about a month now. And ive started my own excavator land clearing on the side. And as of this friday. It will be my last day at my full time job, cause of the high demand of land clearing and stuff. I cant operate both. But your videos have helped me out. So thank you and keep the videos coming

Congrats!

I work for a water well drilling/service company monday-friday 10+ hours a day and work for myself Saturday and Sunday from daylight til dark. I do shop welding, handyman, and tractor work. I just bought a john deere 3025e with a loader bucket, box blade, and bush hog with a 7x18ft dove tail trailer and with 2 clients I've made over $3000 in 2 weekends. I need to get more clients so I can work for myself full time

I am retired from being an industrial mechanic for over 40 years and wanted to start doing gravel driveways and general tractor work. I purchased a l3902 Kubota and I don’t have a truck to haul it around so I just drive around looking for jobs that can be done and I’m finding that people are willing to have you do some other jobs while you’re there. I just wanted to let you follower’s that you can make a lot of money just driving around looking for work thank you for your channel you bring up a lot of great content and I have even learned a few things from watching. Who said you can’t teach an old dog new tricks be safe. RR

Shhhhh! My wife almost heard that I didn't need an excavator to get started. 🤣 Great advice Todd and excellent work. Yeah, I bit the bullet and bought a real GoPro because my el-cheapo Faux Pros were terrible.

The smaller jobs generally have a higher profit margin and once you start taking on medium to large sized jobs then you start competing against big companies that are harder to compete with because they own their own gravel pits and can shave their prices lower.

Thanks for posting the vids! Love em.

I really appreciate explaining the fundamentals. Glad I found your channel!

Just recently started watching your vids and I love the content. Absolutely love heavy equipment and I plan on starting a lawn care and a tractor service here in the spring!

You're awesome Todd! The world needs more people like you. Both audio and video were great - except at the end when the mod wasn't used. Loved the content too... my wife was very interested as well!! Well done. God bless!

Great Video - great sound - thanks so much Todd!

I appreciate that you give hope to newbs or wannabe newbs. I enjoy watching your vids and your commentary of the few that I've watched (So does my 3 year old so thanks for keeping it clean). I wish I'd started this thought process years ago but I think I would really enjoy excavating. You've given me a lot to think about. Besides all that, Its great to be hearing from a Carolina boy like myself. I live in TN but my heart is in NC. God Bless brother... keep at it.

Another perfect informative video! Some tips that I’ve been trying to find for a while! Love the content man, keep it up!

Thanks for taking the time. Looks great!

Great audio, Great content, Great job. Thanks

Good job brother. You can't fake being genuine, and I believe you truly care about helping your neighbor, keep it up.

Audio sounded great. Excellent video man. Addressed some questions I had. Appreciate it.

Great video, I’m new to digging and had our garden to do so bought a decent 2015 micro digger. Started doing some work for family and friends to get me started into doing it as a business. I have a car body repair business, so looking at something for a change. I’m in the uk so the weather is probably going to play a big part especially with the amount of rain we get. I’ll be looking at your other videos for advice and ideas. Thanks

Always look forward to your videos! I’m just south of you in Laurens,SC

Great content and information! I am actually biding my first gravel driveway repair outside of friends and family this upcoming weekend. I've watched your videos on the subject a few times and they have been very helpful! Thanks, brother!

The video was great. Love how you explain the situation.

Thanks for sharing your experience, keep on getting it done 👍

Thanks for the training! I learned something new!

you sounded great and thanks for all the info you give us, i rented a excavator bobcat e20 to dig out my wall it was hard to run at first but got easy after some time but i did good for my first time .

I really enjoy the content. I’m looking to retire from the military soon and hoping to start doing exactly what you were saying like brush hogging, driveway repair and other small jobs to supplement my retirement. Thanks for sharing your knowledge!

Great audio and video! Thank you for sharing the information! I really appreciate you sharing your knowledge with us!

First time I see one of your videos. I like it. I have a very small 27 horsepower tractor that I used to drill post holes. That seems to be my main side gig. I also like to box blade but I really like your idea of re-leveling driveways. That really helps. Forney Texas

Great video and the sound was great as well. Thanks for sharing such important and valuable information for anyone getting started or those who have been on business.

Great information! Always learn something different and new

Like always, great tips Todd! Sound quality was top notch, I might need to buy me one of those doo dads 👍🏼

First video of yours I've watched, really good and informative. I want to start doing small jobs here and there on the side, just got a bobcat so excited to see how that goes. Gave you a like and subscribed! Thanks again!

You’re a good man for sharing what you do. Pretty rare in this industry. Helping people be better instead of holding them back will return to you ten fold I believe that.

I always take something away from your videos, much appreciated, keep up the good work!

It sounds really great 👍🏼 Happy Holidays to you and Emma x x

Audio was great. I always like how you explain everything.

Thanks for doing these type of videos. Inspiration for guys on the fence of starting their own companies. Thanks a lot bro

Thanks for all your advice

Love your channel! Definitely inspiring me to do more.

Positive+Upbeat+Motivating. I needed that. Your future looks bright.

You have a very genuine and friendly disposition. I appreciate the content and willingness to help beginners. It really is helpful. Well done!

Another Excellent Video, Sounded Great. You truly are a humble hard working inspiration to us all.

You are encouraging me forrrrr-sure! I’m gonna keep watching and maybe take that next step👍🏼 thanks buddy

sound quality is great, I'm in the Septic and light Grading business just down the hill from you in Morganton I really enjoy your videos and positive attitude. Be safe out there😎

Thanks for sharing the how tips with just hand tools, I might actually give it a try to stay busy for the winter time

Audio was very clear. Thanks for the videos.

Thank you for all your help and information you are the best.

Thanks for the video. Hope to start my own little side hustle soon and maybe grow it into something a little bigger later...

Great video and appreciate you making it. I just purchased a John Deer 333G and have started a business doing forestry mulching, driveways and house pads. This is exactly what I needed to watch. Very detailed and you have great instruction. I normally would not even comment on videos, but if it helps you make money then I’m all about helping anyway I can.

Thanks for sharing info. Ive watched several to get the grasp of what our driveway needed to be and better ideas for the next phases when that time comes

Your videos are great. I really enjoyed them. Thanks for sharing so freely! I hope your channel takes off. I

Good video for someone thinking about going this route. Would of been nice to hear 10 years ago but, the time is now. Thinking of starting a channel about my journey when I pick up my machine next year.

Your are a blessing!!!

Great advice. Keeping you business manageable is a key strategy. All the best from England.

Thanks for doing this video buddy. Ur doing great. Ur teaching all of us alot of great information.

Thx for making these videos they really make me want to start a business

👍 audio is great...keep the good content coming!

I’m experienced with many types of equipment. I grew up on a farm and have operated about everything. In saying that, I appreciate the common sense approach you take to teaching people your way of doing things. I love seeing good people make it in this world. Keep at it brother.

100% this comment. Keep up the good work.

Also could you make a video on what exactly is road bond and show and explain the materials that you use for driveways/roads

Great video....as always, thanks for sharing your knowledge.

This was great! Thanks, when I get slightly older, and get to driving myself, I will definately start doing this. :)

Thanks for the info I've been looking into this type of work wanting to start with driveway repairs water lines and leveling for swimming pools Thanks again for the info

Helpful tips on how to perform maintenance on gravel roads/driveways. Hello from Murphy, NC.

You are a mountain of knowledge continue helping young people start their own business

Ur videos are awesome and very educational. I’m thinking of starting my own business and I’ve gotten more info from ur videos than any other on KZread. Keep up the amazing work 👍

Very nice! Thank you for sharing.

Great explanation on how to get started in dirt and grading work. Glad for your camera upgrade.

Lol! Brother, you know how to run a business! And you do an excellent job, both in your work, and in your videos!

I just started working at a game ranch as an extra hand. The guy I work for pays me peanuts and mostly has me working with hand machines but today I got to brush hog and operate a skid steer. I see him taking on other jobs, he's currently digging out an artificial lake with a track hoe and Im hoping if I stick around long enough I'll get to work my way up into the bigger machines. Anyways. Just found your channel and its really, really fascinating seeing all of this from a bosses perspective. Its invaluable, and I want to thank you for it.

Enjoy your videos. Got interested in heavy equipment late in life. Have owned small tractor for a few years, recently bought a mini excavator. Still working to get comfortable with it. Your videos are a great help. Live in eastern NC, also blessed to own home and property in Tuckasegee NC, near Sylva.

You ain’t lying when you said you got to suck it up , I’ve only worked for big companies running bigger equipment, but I’m starting to feel that urge that I want to work on my own but you have to start at the bottom. Before I start out i at least want to have me a skid steer. Right now mainly tearing down bridges then getting base setup for the new bridge or making a detour if we can’t shut it down, then come back in but just to sum it up .and match the gravel and asphalt. Lot more to it and I do like traveling right now but I see myself in the future coming back home but get as much experience as I can.

Keep up the good work Todd! Congrats on your success. Well deserved. Brett

Thank you for all the great videos. This one was filmed great really!

Perfect timing for this video

Awesome tutorial Todd. I know it’s a older video but I trying to watch all your videos.

Much better quality. Keep up the great videos.

Thankfully found your channel, great content!

Thanks for the video, I’m one of those guys that plans to do compact tractor work in about a year and these help the learning process.

The sound is great 👍 I just stood on road where.i live looking at the drive way the difference is a 6 or more difference between me the road to the top of parking spot in the yard near the steps

Found this channel recently really enjoy the vids!! Be interesting to see one on gravel/stone only, the different types, when/why to use certain types, when not to use certain ones, etc.

When I started my tree company (side hustle), I spent the first season raking yards and pushing a mower around so I could afford ropes. It wasn’t long after that I could purchase a tractor with confidence, AKA client base.

I do watch a lot of these KZreadrs channels but I am only a sub to your channel because you really help people and give them confidence in themselves that they can start their own business too!..Your a good honest and sincere man!.. God Bless you and your family....By the way, I love mm's with my coffee too!!..😂

I’m an exterior contractor. I specialize in all sidings. From vinyl to masonry. I subscribed to learn more about running a machine for landscaping/drive entrances on new construction. I essentially have a goal to have my crew to build a home from wooded land to turnkey home. I want to also get a mulching head for our 289 cat. There’s not many in se TN with mulchers

I just found your videos and I subscribed im trying to start my own bush hogging and add on to my business and your knowledge is helping me so much thank you so much im going to continue to watch you love how you break things down

Good stuff! Thank you

Hi there I really enjoy your video you do things the way that I always have I live in Eastern Kentucky Appalachian mountains and I've done my part of Maddox shovels but I love it I'm 58 years old and you make a lot of good points and this yesterday I bought a new dirt shovel handle for my shovel one of them and I got all kinds of landscaping tools have wore at wheelbarrow and it's a kind of work I have always enjoyed I've always found some place to dig in some place that needs to be filled in. Thanks for sharing the this video I have subscribed to your channel.

Very good explanation, easy to understand. Thank you!

I've never heard anyone say they started at the top. The "bottom" varies from situation to situation!! You're right Todd!! You have to want it.

Great video. This helps a lot.

Just found you and just bought a Kubota TLB26, considering getting a box blade and a wicked 55 root grapple; didn't know about the GoPro Mod either; looking forward to binging on your videos. In NW Florida. Bought it for my homestead, but can see a time when I might want to odd jobs.

Great video, very positive energy

Great video, thanks. Sound was great in this video.

Lots of help, thank you

Your advice is very helpful
