    Neil, random question. Who makes your tooth bucket here? It looks perfectly suited for this type of work. I am also looking into a virnig snow/light materials bucket to be able to move materials more efficiently. Have you got a larger bucket for your 40 as well?

    • @NealORussa
      @NealORussa День назад

      @@Fayettepropertysolutions my bucket is a CID and it is very nice. It fits tight and the dimensions are just perfect for the rt40. This bucket actually came with my older 2013 asv pt30 but when I sold it I kept this bucket. I actually wore out the front cutting edge so I cut it out and replaced it with a hardened steel cutting edge. Then I also bought tooth shanks and teeth and welded them on myself too. I did a lot of research on it and they are somewhat hard to find shanks and teeth that do not protrude beneath the bucket cutting edge. That way you can still cleanly back drag without leaving tooth marks and you can still lay bucket flat to trim while moving forward with the whole edge. I do not have another larger bucket.

    another thing u can do to make your edges a little nicer is with your hoe sitting in the driveway and swing over with your bucket cutting edge and on your paint line knife down with your cuting edge of your bucket and just slice through that sod then track a little farther and knife down again and just do that all the way down your paint line. think of it like using a pizza cutter. so that way when you hop back in line to dig like u did in the video that stupid sod wont chunk out on you like it did making the edge look jagged in a few spots.

      @@PrismaticFarm it really depends. The blade isn't heavy enough to act act much counterweight. But when pushing or trenching anytime the front of the machine wants to lift off the ground, if you put the blade down in back it gives 2' more length to the tracks. So when you press down on the ground or tree with the bucket the front of the tracks won't lift. When I'm digging and curling up to break roots or pull heavy stumps then I put blade in front to lengthen front of tracks and keep the rear of the machine from lifting off the ground.

    • @NealORussa
      @NealORussa Месяц назад

      @@rpuco hey good question! You need to switch the thumb hydraulic cylinder lines to the smaller set of aux line tubes on the stick. If you have dual aux ports on the stick there are smaller lines and larger lines. The smaller lines are for the thumb and are controlled by right joystick. The larger lines are capable of continuous flow and have larger diameter for more flow for mowers and other volume heavy attachments. The thumb needs very little flow rate to operate. Alternatively you could go to the aux solenoids beside the hydraulic tank and swap the wire harness connectors between the two solenoids. That would switch which joystick controls which port. But I would plumb it correctly instead at the stick.

      @@samgebuys2193 nice! Yea the kx040 handles the 30 fine. The 36 is good too but a little wobbly all the way out with a full bucket. Works fine for trenching shallow and backfilling though.

    How does the Harley rake work on crushed packed limestone?

    • @NealORussa
      @NealORussa Месяц назад

      It works pretty good. But it hurts me on the inside to use it on hard packed rock. It just seems rough on it and I don't like doing it. Sometimes I'll rip with the bucket teeth first then Harley rake.

    Two questions Neil, sorry to bug you again 🤣 1) what is the compactor you’re using? 2) if you recall, how long would you say it took you to compact this driveway?

    • @NealORussa
      @NealORussa 2 месяца назад

      @@Fayettepropertysolutions no problem at all I enjoy chatting on my videos! The compactor is a Weber MT. They're German and better than wacker in my opinion. I can't recall exactly but probably 45 minutes? It always seems like an eternity but when I check my watch it's quicker than it feels. I rent a roller sometimes but the time it takes to go to rental shop, pickup and drop off it's usually less time to plate it. And the plate packs harder than a 36" double drum roller in my opinion. I just think of it like pushing mowing a lawn. And it's not hard to push it moves itself for the most part.

      @@Fayettepropertysolutions thanks for the comment! It's been a good machine. I'm about to have to replace tracks at about 1000 hours due to drive lugs on the inside getting worn down/broken off. And I replaced the torsion bar axles around 750 hours which I wasn't happy about. It was owned by a tree service for the first 500 hours and I think they ran it on pavement a lot loading a chipper. Otherwise the machine is nice and has been great for what I do.

      @@Fayettepropertysolutions gotcha. I think the tempered glass would still be strong enough and if it does break it won't shatter and fall into pieces and hurt anyone. It just cracks up. And actually when I bought my machine the glass was broken out from a log from a tree company who used it with a rotating grapple. The new tempered glass window was very cheap from trackloaderparts. I feel like it was less than 200 for glass and new rubber molding. I had a plexiglass door on my previous machine and you could not see out of it with rain or dust on it. I do not recommend.
