If he was any good at being an operator. He would just fill up the corner of his bucket and dump it into the other bucket instead of filling up the whole bucket and making such a damn mess just because you can start the machine or move it doesn’t mean you’re an operator.🤯
Thanks for the feedback! Its awesome that you were there to see the whole situation, conditions, and knew exactly what needed done. Thanks!
@@Aumanlandscape I was an operator for 35 years. I seen all I need to see like I said if he would’ve went into the stockpile on the angle and just filled up a quarter of the bucket or half the bucket he could’ve dumped it all in there without making a mess, pay attention listen open your ears, your mind and your eyes and you just learn something because you think you already know you’re never gonna learn another thing from that day forward don’t be don’t be ashamed your mind you just may learn something🤯

I've got the 301.5 and it's a cash machine.
A little hint, use a PORT A POWER with a long bolt in the hub, then tap on the spindle, it usually pops right out. Carefully use a scotch brite wheel to clean the socket part of all rust and nicks. Also apply a very thin coat [extremely thin coat] of anti-seize on the shaft before installing hub. If you put to much on the shaft, you could cause the bolt to prematurely break and make the whole hub come loose, so be very careful with this tip. This works on almost all skid steers with these type of hubs. I've done more than I can remember with Zero failure.
Bro I just got hella gas in my eye but from mini bike that’s been sitting and I lowkey thought I was finna go bling at first 😭😭
Hope you’re ok!
Better than Tigran’s reviews 😊
Thanks! I haven’t seen Tigran’s
I just bought the same truck!
Cool! How do you like it ?
ohh i saw the NOFH podcast was in the queue 👀
I think you’re mistaken. It’s just some spam on my screen
We have a new 304 its a little bigger than this. We love it.
Why does no one use sand for on top of the gravel base for screeding for leveling?? Is using Sand a waste of money
Awesome!!
Nice truck, hood intake is only functional on the diesel and seems they didn't want to make another hood
Nice truck. I also chose gas over diesel after having diesel trucks for 18 years. Those tailgates are the biggest waste. The soft open is nice but the rest of the functions are worthless unless you want to take your trailer and hitch off all the time.
B&W has a hitch for this stow a way I think
Congrats Caleb!
Thanks my guy!
How was your previous truck? I have the same truck as your old one use it for and doing Hardscape my truck has about 130,000 seems to be falling apart. What’s your experience?
The truck was really pretty solid, but I did not use it regularly for fieldwork, but it had 160,000 miles on it and did not want to deal with any of that stuff as far as problems go and any downtime.
Less maintenance with gas! My friend has a 6.6 gasser and averages 8-9 mpg pulling a trailer.
Def cheaper maintenance
I totally agree. I’ll get a diesel personal truck someday, but I’ve got other places in the company that need that additional money more. !
Brian is gonna say ”Spending those KZread millions!!!!” 😂 It’s well deserved bro! Keep up the good work!
lol! And thank you !
Oh boy I haven’t even watched the video yet but now I’m even more intrigued lol
Saw you and your family near Hana grabing some food. Didnt want to interrupt, hope ya had a good trip. Good content.
What ! No way! You should have said hi!!!!!!!! Aloha and mahola !
How did you get that metal bushing peice off on the back side?
I don’t recall. Sorry !
very good
Great video Caleb. The thing that deters me from installing outdoor lighting setups is hooking the transformer up to the main power. Do you guys do that in house or get a certified electrician to complete the install? If done in house, can you touch on the installation?
Absolutely this is very easy generally, these transformers plug into any standard 110 V outlet. If there is no outlet outside of the house, then we do have a proper electrician place in outlet where it is convenient to plug the transformer in.
Is that an echo 58volt blower I see?
Yes. Battery blowers very handy!
That asphalt cuter could also use for getting clean edges for driveway from the grass
Lots of uses. Yes !
wtf are you babbling about!? cheese and rice!
Hello! What kind of exhibition is this? Will there be one this year?
Yes ! It’s EQUIP and hardscape North America (hna) use promo code AUMAN for 50% discount tickets!
Heck, even small tailor shops, shoe repair shops and mom and dad grocery stores closed because modern technology and more efficient marketing. Just because small construction companies don't have as many contracts as before does not mean the economy is down. Go where the jobs are. Construction work is great for developing communities but once the area is developed, business is slow. Move to where the jobs are.
Early grave 🪦 Stretched too thin or there is an efficiency problem.
Everyone is stretched to thin now a days, small guys can’t find help, and big guys purposely under hire to cut costs
Longest i went was 8 months shit was not worth breaking my back over
Exactly this mentality isn’t beneficial, just gets the average man taken advantage of. Plus the government loves to steal and then waste that OT money from you.
Thanks, I learned that cutting on one side doesn't look very good. Thanks. I'll stay with cutting both sides... :( so many cuts :(
Great info 👊🏾
Glad it was helpful!
If you were really good you would be able to roll the sod up into a roll the unroll afterwards!! Lol😂
Haha yeah that’s not me ! I’m not that good hahah
Hi, what’s the name of the bar you’re using to support pavers around door?
A lintle beam or bar.
Good review but all those manufacturers and you couldn’t hit Toro dingo’s?
I know ! I don’t know how we missed them !
Caleb & Brit, I have been waiting and waiting to see the interior of the shop. Can we please have another update and tour of the interior of the shop?
Yes. I’ll make that asap!
@@Aumanlandscape Thank you guys so much!!!
Thank you!!! We keep watch on your posts and have really missed the and updated. Can't wait to send you pics when our shop is finally done.
Blade type?
We use Latux hurricane blades. Promo code ‘Auman’ for a 20% discount !!!
Sod scooper! So cool!! Those stairs and wall are awesome
Thanks ! It’s really coming along !
You run that thing like a shopping cart...
lol. What’s that mean ?
Great tips, when you say premium charging. How much a job like would cost to do? Landed a big project and don’t know how much to charge, man hour or job done?
Job done. But you have to know how you need to charge based off of how much you want to make as a salary how much overhead you have and so forth a budgeting software like LMN helps greatly with this.
Nice! You should consider grabbing a lock and lube for your grease gun It “locks on” and makes getting lube where it needs to be a breeze Congratulations on the wrist!
We just got one. ! It’s awesome!
Oh good deal!
What’s the price for one. No one ever tells the price
Depending on options 20-30k
you didn't put down Weed Barrier Landscape Fabric, i forgot to do that step also, weeds growing like crazy....
I didn’t forget. I try not to use that material.
@@Aumanlandscapewhy Fido you avoid that material?
@@ironsurvival7011 if it is organic material going on top of the Geo fabric, the organic material breaks down and turns into soil and weeds just grow on top of it. The only time we use weed fabric is when we are placing Stone.
@@Aumanlandscape awesome thank thank you
Hi. Nice video. I like the suggestion of offering of upselling a "spray & bury" service with a weed preventer. How much would you charge for the service?
Would vary by size and time.
@@Aumanlandscape Ok. Say it is a one yard flat area. What would your charge?
So can this thing dig? Your video showed that it has controls and a motor...is it cheaper to rent a trencher? could you bury a dead horse with this thing? How fast will it dig? What was the purpose of your video?
It shows the features of the machine.
Like you said get either the 304 or 306 cause the 305 has the same HP rating as the 304.
Wondering why I don’t see people compact the base. 4 to 6 inches of 22aa compacted in lifts 2 to 3 inches of limestone screenings compacted then screed it off. Lay pavers,sand and compact pavers rinse them off.
Compaction is key. We do it different now with open graded stone.
Harley rake for ditch witch and a preparator on the big skids. Have a big Harley rake used it 3 times in 2 years.
I run a hooklift truck for my landscaping company. Real pricey but worth it when you get 20 dumpsters to rent out and can haul anything.
I like the idea of doing that
I got 30 yards for a job at a daycare. My boss make sure you get certified playground mulch and get copy of certification. It wasn’t we didn’t find out until 2 days after job. It all had to be removed and new mulch installed. The company that we got mulch from had to go back and fix it for free. I had everything I needed.
Omg that’s horrible
@@Aumanlandscape always have the right paperwork for any project
What is the name of the hand tool used to smooth out the gravel please?
a come along rake/ concrete rake / concrete lute or a quick screed those ?
Have you ever considered using water?? Lolol epic fail
Every staircase has a first step
I love this. I’m going to quote you on THE KID CONTRACTOR PODCAST ep 487
@@Aumanlandscapethank you im actually 23 and got my own landscaping company I just found your channel you got some good stuff. My thoughts yes it doesn't feel like much just cutting lawns and doesn't feel challenging and thats cause its not its cutting grass 3 yr olds can it it for 10$ for their neighbors thats who your competing with (in 1960) we got some p**sys now but regardless if its your business you need to understand money if your on the bottom you have to take each step to the top we can't teleport to the top and neither will the number in your account in my experience you will be fulfilled with lawn care if you are working towards getting bigger contracts hoa, government buildings, businesses etc theres tons of work out there and getting away from just houses is how you do that cause your going into the business side more not just house hold people that are nagging your getting into bigger numbers and you can add actual landscaping and handscaping (balance this people like one service business more professional but if you can do extra retaining walls to fill in gaps in schedule for workers you should. Kinda babbling here cause its text but hopefully you can pick a couple pieces out of there to help with the direction of the convo on pod. Best of luck to all, take care.
