Hey man that turned out good. Very good job. Thanks for sharing and have a great week.
Hey thanks! appreciate you watching and commenting :). You have a great week too!
Lookin good.....
Thanks for watching!
Looks like you used every tool in the toolbox today !!! Turned out awesome , would love to see the rest of the farm.
Yeah I think we will show more as we do projects across it. I feel like every inch of it needs something done!
Great job !!!
Thanks and thanks for watching and commenting
Nice video. I’m in upstate SC, just below the NC border. We’ve had no internet for 2 weeks and counting, and our house doesn’t get a cell signal, so I’m slipping so far behind on everything. Last weekend I shelled the transaxle on my tractor and cracked the housing. It’s in the shop now, and I think I’ve found the perfect additional tractor and attachments. Been working through all the scenarios on machines, new, used, and even selling equipment off and backing out of tractor work. So much to consider, and slow and deliberate is always the way to go. Thanks!
Yeah it seems like there are a million puzzles to solve an there is rarely a perfect answer. Ya’ll stay safe up there, it has been a rough go for you up there I am sure
@@DirtAndRocks Thanks, appreciate it. There are so many secondary effect no one thinks about and of course no one talks about. Such as people who work from home and have supplementary income from online based work that have been on hold for 2 weeks and counting, at the same time expenses are rising. Life is a painting, not a photograph. Really enjoy your content as always!
Thanks so much for watching and commenting, wishing you guys a speedy return to normal.
Nice work! That job turned out really nice... i think the cat 306 and the svl65 make a great team for these jobs! That roller attachment is pretty neat, it seems like it packs as good as a dedicated roller! Also i was the one asking about burning in that brush job... thanks for explaining and it makes total sense! Thanks for sharing!👍
Cool, glad I could answer that :). Yeah the roller is good for stone, it leaves it looking nice and cars are not making tire prints in the driveway on day 1. If I remember correctly, it has about 50-60% of the force that a 10,000lb class compactor puts out. I like it for stone, but I am on the lookout for a padfoot compactor to use for dirt. Thanks for watching!
@@DirtAndRocks 👍
I love the new equipment trailer !!!
yeah, so far I am very happy with it. makes life much easier. Thanks for watching!
Did you get the thumb issue worked out? I think it has a speed and change switch direction setting in the menu.
I will look into the menu and see. I guess I just got used to the direction of the switch, becuase I didn't seem to really notice it on this job. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Nice looking driveway. Die you guys get any bad weather over last week…. Thanks for sharing and have a great day.
Thankfully it was just rain and a little wind here. Nothing even worth mentioning when compared to what happened elsewhere. Thanks so much for watching! have a great week :)
👍
Thank you for watching!
I really dont mind just hearing u rant about the mysteries of life😂... that 306 seems really nice! At the end of the day only you know if its the right machine for you though... anyways thanks for sharing!👍
I will give Cat a lot of props, they build a really nice machine that is comfortable to operate. It's going to get another shakedown today, so we shall see how that goes! Thanks so much for watching :)
@@DirtAndRocks 👍
The 306 is a cool machine! 😃 Appreciate the mention and I may have added a few things, well maybe more than a few things. 🤣🤣🤣
Anytime, it was a great jump off point for stocking up my truck. I too seem to keep adding little things here and there. But all of it helps. The ability to just handle a lot of different things that come up in real time is a huge benefit for me.
Good explanation of why a truck with a bumper pull. Why not a kubota kx057 or U-55? Just a little smaller than the 306 I believe but quite a bit cheaper and just as good if not better IMO 👍
I have a 4ton KX-040 and I like it just fine. This is really more about trying to get something closer to the performance of my 8 ton, if that is even realistic. It's a tall order, my TB285 punches way above it's weight. Thanks so much for watching!
@@DirtAndRocks Makes sense 👍.
Volvo makes a 60 too, it’s pretty nice
Hey thanks for the suggestion. I cut the Volvo, Case, and Hyundai models from consideration based on aux hydraulic flow. I think those three were in the 15-16GPM range, where the Deere, Cat, and Hitachi were in the 24 GPM range. I do agree though, that Volvo makes a nice machine, and it was painful to cut it from the list. Thanks for watching!!
Awesome video, let those macrame the wear so you can make many more videos .
Hey thanks for watching and commenting!
Oops machines
Great video!!! I'm sure you aren't going to make a rush decision.
yeah, this stuff is way too expensive for that :). Thanks for watching!
Great video. It’s tough making a decision on something that cost a lot of money. Speaking of trailers my nephew bought something like a side by side once. Well, he stopped on his way to get it and bought a trailer to haul it on. The trailer he bought was too short. So he took it back but the trailer company would not let him trade for the right size. His mom took a fit. She tried to shame them but no sir they would not lol. Thanks for sharing and have a great Sunday.
Yeah, the good news is I don't have the feeling of "oh I have to have one of these". it's a nice piece of equipment, but I want to take the time to see what it can and cannot do before I get too excited. Thanks for watching!
Great job, it looks so much better now !!!
Thanks for watching!
Thanks! Appreciate you watching :)
Love it !!!
Appreciate it. Thank you for watching:)

Thanks for watching and commenting!
Yeah, you made a big improvement on that property. Everything little thing helps. Thanks for sharing and have a great weekend.
You have a great weekend too. I am building a deck, no rest today. Thanks for watching and commenting:)
Seems to work pretty good…
Yeah I thought it was a pretty innovative idea. Also, thank you for your video a while back on how you stock your Ram 5500…..came in very handy for me recently when I was putting my new truck together. A lot of good ideas I hadn’t even thought about! Have a great week!
@@DirtAndRocks thanks! Yeah over time I just keep adding things as I need them. Main problem I have is being unorganized and not being able to find what I’m looking for…🤣😀😀
Yeah i get that. It is such a quality of life improvement though to just hop in the truck knowing you have your stuff with you and not wasting time trying to remember everything you need to take with you.
Take care of that equipment and the equipment will take care of you!!!
absolutely! Thanks for watching and have a great week :)
Maintenance is an important part of your business!!!
yessir! Thank you for watching!
👍
thanks for watching :)
That’s a nice little tool to have in hand. Especially like you where you own your own equipment. Thanks for sharing and have a great weekend!!
Thanks for watching and commenting!
Nice video and thanks for sharing! Im sure there's a reason why you didnt burn it... why didnt u? Great job and thanks for sharing!!!
Burn ban in the county. Having said that, we tend to not burn very often, lower risk, don't have to babysit, gets the job done quicker so we can move to the next one. Thanks for watching!
I'd be unstoppable if I had those 2 pieces of equipment . Enjoy
It is definitely a fun way to spend time :). Thanks for watching and commenting!
Love watching you operate , the end product always looks great !!!
Appreciate the kind words. Thanks for watching and commenting as always!
I have been doing my own outdoor work and have been missing your new video drops !!!! Keep on pushing!!!
Yeah, I am into a big home project this week myself. Good luck with yours! Thanks for watching and commenting :)
You did a great job
Appreciate it! Thanks for watching and commenting 😀
Glad you are posting 👍
thanks! appreciate you watching :)
Hey do you need a contractor license to excavate in ga
Couldn't say, don't live in GA, so not familiar with their regulations. Thanks for watching!
This is my neighbor down the road’s house! They got hit with an EF 2 tornado, you should have seen the yard after. I believe they had 2 or 3 large trees down. Thank you for helping those nice folks out with your time and equipment
It was our pleasure! Thank you for watching and commenting, I appreciate it very much!
Great job. I'm sure the customer is happy with the attention you give!!! How is the Pup doing ???
He is doing good....veeerrrry energetic. Oh well, I need the exercise any way. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Glad to see you!!!!!!
Thanks! Appreciate you watching and commenting!
Great video. I was getting a little worried about you. Haven’t seen a video in awhile lol. I like your Big Tex trailer you haul your excavator in. Thanks for sharing and have a great Labor Day weekend you and your son!!
Thanks! Yeah I have not been consistent with doing videos, but hopefully we will be able to get a bit more consistent. The trailer is great, though I am not a fan of loading and unloading it. But, in a pinch, it is really helpful to be able to haul equipment in the dump trailer. Hope you are doing well! Thanks much for watching and commenting :)
Oh yeah! That’s a cool hat you got there! 😀
yeah, I got it from one of the nicest RUclipsrs around. Appreciate you watching and commenting! Have a great weekend

definitely slower here. It is what it is. Hope ya'll are doing well. Thanks for watching!
Enjoyed the video hope everything is going well for you and your family.
Thanks much. We are doing well. Hope you and yours are too :). Thanks for watching!
Okay let's start with what you mentioned dozens of times through the video Gravel???? I did not see any Gravel in this video 😮 if you would like to be More credible drop the Gravel slang and call it by its real name STONE 🪨 and please look up in The dictionary the description of Gravel 😢
