Here is a little timelapse of installing some silt fence with our mini, engcon, and the ripper. It worked quite well and went pretty fast.

Digging footings with Cat 305.5E and Engcon tiltrotator
Просмотров 5 тыс.4 года назад
This is a little video of us starting some footings for an addition. We had to tunnel the septic line, and the engcon came in handy for that. The ground was quite rocky, so it was hard digging and everything held up great.
Cleaning up the bank of a swale with Cat 305.5 and engcon tiltrotator

Our customer wanted us to lay back the banks of the drainage swale on a part of his property so it will be easier to mow. The engcon made this job much easier, and left a nicer finished product.

We sold our old 304 and just bought a new 305.5 with an Engon Tiltrotator. This thing is super handy, and look forward to seeing what else it can do for us. I was using it in this video to clean up a backyard, I am tearing out some old bushes and a hedge row.

Losing some dirt in the backyard

    Not trying to bust your chops… but all we can see in this video is you driving a bobcat “slow on the driveway; but not on a Monday, definitely not on a Monday.” The effort is definitely appreciated, as I want to understand how to build a berm using a Bobcat but your vantage point is all wrong and all we can see is you pushing dirt; as opposed to incremental progress or the end result. Take it with a grain of salt, as I make this comment as a coward who has never posted a RUclips video. Just some constructive criticism. Good luck your RUclips career!

      I had it up to 90mph the day we brought it home after the swap, it was turning about 2200rpm. On average, we can cruise 70mph turning 15-1600rpm. Its much nicer to drive on the highway now.

      @wilfredrahming2kx 5 лет назад

      Redford Excavating if you don’t mind me asking what exact 8ll did you use ? Also what gear ratio is in the differential and did you leave the pto to manual or converted to air ??? I’m looking to do the same swap to my 285....... also if you have an idea who I can check for these parts that would be awesome.

    • @redfordexcavating3834
      @redfordexcavating3834 5 лет назад

      I know its the high hp or torque rated 8ll, I cant remember the exact model # off hand, but ill try to find it for you. We have yet to check what ratio we have in the rear, ill see if there is a tag. The PTO is still air operated, but the fella that installed it sourced the new pto for us. As far as getting the trans, we got ours from a friend that was keeping it as a spare. It needed a couple gears, but we had it gone through and its been great. I'm very glad we did the swap, it has been so much nicer to drive over the old 6 speed.

    Like the video...I have the 108” Virnig v-plow and really like it. My only issue is sometimes when it catches and trips the cutting edges I get dirt/debris caught between the cutting edge and the plow. The problem is that will change the cutting edge angle and causes gouging. Do you ever have that problem? My machine is a JD325 with wolf paw tires

    • @redfordexcavating3834
      @redfordexcavating3834 5 лет назад

      Hmm, I cant say I have ever experienced that before. We only push paved surfaces, so I don't know if that's the difference or not. Are you pushing unpaved surfaces at all? I have hit plenty of manhole covers and had the edge trip, but I have never experienced the problem you are describing. Sorry I could be of more help.

    • @redfordexcavating3834
      @redfordexcavating3834 5 лет назад

      Because the 6 speed really lacked top end speed, and it was a bear to shift on a hill with a load. The guy we got the truck from had swapped the 6 speed in place of the 5 speed that it came with originally. He lived down on the shore where it was relatively flat so it didn't matter, but where we live it was a struggle. The new 8 speed is light years better all the way around. We love the truck and plan to keep it so we figured the swap would be worth while.
