The rotating assembly on that excavator is wild man

I really like it when you get out of the machine and make it all look great with a rake or shovel because that's reality and your keeping it real, nice job as usual

First class job. Well done.

6/3/24..1st time viewer (👍&Sunscribed) i think you have an Engcon tilt/rotate/finger grab unit on end of yur 'stick'...what a fabulous implement you have...makes for fast & professional workmanship. I (retired, 78) watch lots of YT property maintenance YT'ers..from Andrew Camarata, Jesse Muller, Diesel Creek & others. None of those guys have what you got..Yes they have larger excavators with thumbs, but so far none have the quick attch tilt/rotate/finger grab unit. I think a guy Dirt Ninja has a large Volvo Excavator with Engcon set up. Have heard its expensive to get rigged, new hand controls etc, but looks super efficient for a serious operator with sufficient demand/jobs to afford the 'efficiency'. A+ to you! Also great camera positioning & voice over describing the grade/slope, type of 'fill' designed for this clients 'soft/swampy' back yard. Anxious to see final results & your next project! Stay safe & carry on!👍⚙️✅️💪🍺😊

I am at the same crossroads. The E50 maxes out, if not slightly overloads, my trailer. So anything larger, whether its a truck, trailer or machine, requires a CDL. Since I do this part time, its just not worth the headache at the moment.

What a transition my friend, they have a ton more useable space, getting out and hand raking and making sure the finished edgaes are nice makes all the difference in the world, it should drain beautiful with all that rock underneath, looks fantastic.

Nice machine and tilt rotator! I operate in sweden where they are on every machine, nice to see it also in america. From experience, they wear a lot faster if you break/bend with them so decoupling it when using the ripper will increase its life! Nice work!

Perfect site for a swimming pool, 6 feet deep and you only needed to dig out another 2 feet and the pipe work and electric cables for a beautiful swimming pool and deck area.

Nice to see someone else with a tilt rotator!! Not many of us in the US! Not sure why it is t catching on but man they are life changing! I have the NOX unit on my machine! How do you like the steel wrist ? Any issues so far ?

Quite a financial commitment for the homeowner, surely..

You’ve got a great looking fleet! Any concern with leaving some of the stumps to decompose under the yard in the future? Possible point of settling?

I could use one of those excavators on my 5 acres! Lol

I sincerely hope those "Poles" holding up the sunroom is made of steel.

I wish I could find fill dirt/rock like that. Here in southern Ohio it’s hard to get anything.

Enjoyed the video. Will putting all the dirt around the remaining trees not have an adverse effect on them??

It would be possible if the machine had a thumb and you dropped the rotator and went straight to the hitch with the ripper. I used to do that with my bobcat brand ripper prior to having the rotator.

Nice vid…weird choice of music tho.

Just a note the grading blade, when digging, should be at the back of the digger, which will increase your downforce by 30%

why the heck would u grind them stumps if they are under 6 feet of dirt.... u need to use a breaker bar to tighten up those teeth on the stump grinder....wtf was that lol

Who dictates its supposed to be pure "dirt"? Stone is already at max compaction when it hits the ground.

@CarlsonSonLandscapingLLC because when you do a job you use good material, not the worst you can get your hands on. That stuff was 90% large stones, and wood and I saw fabric in one of them. Large round stones cannot compact they will easily slide over themselves with not much force. Also, all those rocks are a snake haven. Maybe it's ok in your area to use such inferior material to do a paying job, but if I had a contract doing a job like that on my property and they thought using material like that was acceptable they would be fired.

Are you a professional at this and do it for a living? Go dig a huge deep hole in your backyard with a excavator and tell me what find underneath it all and mixed in it... No I'm not either, but even I know that building up the ground isn't just dirt, its rocks, stone, cans,, rags, planks, etc mixed in it and buried beneath the main surface... it helps build and stabilizes the surface beneath it... its not good to tell a person that does this for a living how to do the job they're doing especially when you dont do this professionally and consistently and offer no useful tips. Theyve been doing this for years, they know what they are doing... the rocks help with drainage unerneath the soil.... you should go see what larger companies use on their job sites as fill for development lot for houses to be built on, you'd have a fit based on your comment of this small business man here...lol

@lovie2000 you don't have to be a professional to have a strong opinion on how things should be done. It doesn't matter to me what other construction sites are willing to accept. I would not accept fill of that quality on a project I'm paying for or doing. I would expect higher quality material from something I was involved in. If at some point the homeowner wanted to build an extension onto their house that fill would be acceptable to build a structure on. It would have to be all dug up and redone. It's not just thinking about the then and now on a project, you need to consider what might happen in the future. Large stones with dirt mixed in do not offer an acceptable amount of drainage if that is a necessary element. You would have to put down washed gravel weeping pipes and then more washed gravel. Just like what is required to be done at the base of retaining walls. All these factors are why I personally would never accept that quality of fill.
