Dig a hole next to your rock deeper than the rock and tumble it in. Put fill on top and rock is gone for a good long while.
Excellent machine! That is as one heck of a rock! Thoroughly enjoying the videos. Continued blessings Dave!
Awesome making progress there eh! I'm glad to see you getting the hang of ur new machine...
Thanks for sharing
well done Cindy is great. your getting really good well done
I’m new to the scene but this is by far some of best content! Thank you 🎉
Welcome!
Hi Dave. I do love a good rock and roll classic 😁.....Optimus Backhoe declares another victory. And what a great rock ☺ Peace and Blessings
very good. you're catching on quick ...thumbs up !!
I just bought a compact tractor and it already has a backhoe so I have absolutely no need for a tow behind but I just can’t help but toon in and root for the little thing keep up the good work
haha. Now you need a patio table umbrella and youll be stylin for all weather
I've thought about it lol
Nice little machine. Gonna get me one!
I myself have had a similar machine for a few years and it really is a powerful machine. I added approx. 50 kg of the tractor's front weights to the back as a counterweight and it stabilizes the machine a lot.
it def needs more weight to it ...
Great work I had one of those seat in my hands and put it down now I get to pay full price or wait for a sale, your caster idea is great i will incorporate it into mine and the down riggers are not left or right specific save your back and just flip it over no need to switch sides. I did buy the landscape bucket which makes a difference on the bigger rocks and smoothing out the ground with no teeth gouging things, keep the videos coming maybe I will put my own????? maybe
I would like to have a landscape bucket as well
Just found your channel. Enjoy your videos. Like your ending quote. Live simply, be gratful.
thats awesome ..thanks for watching !!!
nice to see the digger working as hoped .
You might consider mounting the caster wheels on the square tube behind the "claw". If you bend that plate down the points may not dig in to the ground enough to hold you in place. Great upgrades, had my eye on one of these types of units for a while.
Toss a couple small hydraulic motors on the rear wheels and add control levers so you can just drive it around in transport mode...
its all good but watch my new short video on how to move it easily ....Watch This !!!!! .....
@@sparkys506adventures4 I saw that! Awesome.
Nice work. 👍
Great video Dave might buy one myself ty
👍 okay but your having to much fun. I love your channel !
nice work
Hey Dave, this machine is no toy, anyone that thinks it is should try one out, I have done a ton of work with mine over the last 8 years for myself and others it is compact but it can do the work.
Hey, do you think this could work as a daily digger for a small excavation company? I'm trying to start something small and don't want to spend 60k on a Kubota just yet!
@@steephunger5249 It would all depend on the scope of work, these Chinese Mini Excavator may be a better option especially for moving around.
@@waynebarnes2679Makes sense, I was just a bit worried about getting parts for them.
We have to pay $160 a ton to buy rocks like that. Use it in your landscape - it’s a good looking rock. A good way to pull up rocks buried like that is once you have it tipped up, jump off the digger and throw dirt or something under it so it doesn’t keep rocking back into the same hole. Good idea on the upgrade.
I was going to throw a cinderblock in there to hold it from rolling back in but was determined to get it out of there with the machine only lol
Put some sliding spikes on the outriggers so it will dig into the ground with the tires as they are. An put a piece of plate where the bend is to strengthen it?
What a big and strange shape good job!
It was a big rock for sure ....granite actually
GO DAVE GOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!! DO YOUR THING ... FK what they look'n at (search it .. its this years theme song) KEEP YOUR KEEP'N ON!!!!!!!!!! and the digger too! Cant wait to show the peeps... THIS one. LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!! ❤
Lots of power for a relatively small machine!
If you want more control of your hydraulics, length the joy sticks a few inches. You will be surprised how much difference it makes.
Oh nice man.......
I see this video is from last year. Question; did the casters on the outriggers hold up? I.e. are they still in use? It looks like a great idea. Thanks.
I did'nt use the casters at all after figuring out how to move it around quickly with the aide of my side by side ...so much faster and safer also ...
@@sparkys506adventures4 Thanks mate.
I use the machine as a logging aid so mobility is prime and the size of my lot belays 'walking' Just bought a trashed ATV to scavenge suspension parts to build a dolly of some sort.
Shade tree engineers. Gotta love us.
Really enjoy your videos. Keep at it.
Very good
I'm not sure if straightening the outriggers is the best approach. Doing that would reduce the amount of "digging" they will do. I think adding a L shaped bracket to accomplish the caster effect, plus retaining the effect of digging into the dirt to maintain the digging ability.
Just a thought
Great vid as for people that criticize go to another channel where they will be happy. Keep up the good work and God bless.
I failed to mention watch your engine mounting bolts mine backed off just a heads up on a look for prior to starting your day. Enjoy
Mine actually loosened the first time I used it ....nice and tight now
I’m thinking of buying this machine for my growing gardening business. It would help to plant 30-45 gallon trees. I can’t afford the mini excavators so yeah, just thinking about it.
you wouldn't regret it
Good stuff, I am surprised by the power it has.
It has a lot of hydraulic force especially the curling force of bucket ...great for ripping roots up
Making those bends so the tires sit back further makes sense to me. Altho not sure if the heating & bending will make the steel more weak in thr long run. I think once bent when ur using the outriggers for digging, you'll have a lil more stability when it's "dug in". That's what I c but whatta I know .. 😊🤷🏼♀️ At least u got that "boulder" moved, u met ur goal👍🏼
Btw: agree with another comment .. gotta keep ur eyes on those tires when digging. Im sure they weren't cheap.
So you completely answered all my questions about why the outriggers have to be in the front, so they have to dig in... I was just thinking when you're digging wouldn't it lift up the front of the machine and dig the back in? So why can't the outriggers be in the rear and just stay there I guess you have to tow it the other way I don't know.... Any explanation would be great as to why the outriggers can't be in the rear... Because when you're pushing the boom down it's going to lift up the midpoint before the rear right? Which would dig in the rear....
Edit: hopefully you're still active and you see all the questions I've asked in your videos because I'm genuinely interested and I did sub and I like your channel and I'd like to follow you more if you're still active
if the outriggers were on the rear you couldn't move it around using the wheels to roll on ......
I wouldn't bend your plates you gotta angle on. Those wheels already turn the angle to the front and it should make your wheels high enough and perfect enough. Do it work just turn your angle on the metal bracket that you build towards the front of it
you may want to consider this .... think of your bucket as a gooseneck, as in a gooseneck trailer ... get a piece of pipe, cut it so it fits over your center tooth, and weld a plate to it that will fit well against the back of your bucket and bolt it to your bucket .... slip the pipe over your towing vehicles ball and there ya go .... you can make a lock ring like a real gooseneck hitch has if you want to, but if you drive steady the weight of the machine will keep the pipe on the ball ... and putting the thing on the ball is a piece of cake since it is your bucket that moves any way you want it to that will be connected to the tow vehicle .... maybe use a bungee to keep it snug ...... i have towed mine this way many a time on the property ..... i would not suggest running it down the highway like this at all .... just remember to make the pipe long enough so the outer teeth clear the hitch when turning
I actually put the bucket in the back of my side by side and move it around that way ...bit of downforce on the digger lifts the outriggers off the ground and I can drive it all around the property like that ...some of the other videos of it show me moving it that way
@@sparkys506adventures4 excellent ... maybe build something like a large plate with a pipe to set the center tooth into so you don't hurt the sidebyside bed .... but you got the idea ... good deal
rather then bend outrigger plate, I think you would be best if you modify the wheel brackets so they allow the tires to be level with ground. I think bending current outrigger plates will affect your machine in working dig mode. Just my thought, great shows though.😊
I wonder if you could have put a strap around the rock and then moved it!
that prob would work also
Bend them then weld on gussets
Hello Dave,
I was very happy to see another video so soon. Yippy …. that big stone pulled out like nothing! It’s truly amazing the power that hydraulics develop. Such a cool little digger, I’m diggin’ it man! 😎👍
See you soon, be blessed, God bless my friend.
need a thumb on the machine for logs and rocks
its good at what it does it just the movement it has if you had a tracked digger you would be better off
People claim there are more stable than tracked units as they have a much larger footprint on the ground and less than half the money
get it out as much as you can, put a block under it to hold the altitude you've gained and have at it again
just add a harbor freight electric wench on the back the extra weight of wench and battery will help too
Why switch out rigger from one side to the other if you are lifting the end from the centre? You have both sides airborne- just flip the out riggers over. Less pain and work. Work smarter, not harder.
It is only a matter of time before you nail one of those outrigger wheels with the bucket or a rock. It might be better to just have seperate wheeled outriggers. If you had a bolt on thumb you could have picked up that rock and moved it. That is a tiny rock compared to what I have moved,
Not really room for a thumb on that. Even if it had one, it wouldn’t pick up a rock that size.
@@j.w.3345 WRONG on the thumb and wrong on what it will pick up.
your caster wheels stillneed to tilt backwards even after you straighten the mounts otherwise they wont track right
Not gonna lie, your videos seem to flash past. You know what they say, "leave them wanting more". Fine editing.
Thanks Phil ..its a lot of work lol
Or just order another set of rear wheels and arms for front
Y not just bury the rock?
I could have but funner to pull it and test the machine
For a bare bones machine , this does well. I don't understand why people have a problem with these small machines. If you enjoy owning & using it then there is very little left to be asked. I have a backhoe that is way bigger than this but it's still a toy compared to something like a Case 580. Each to their own & thanks for the video.
Thats so true ...thanks for watching
Take them off. Ull roll down a hill or bank. You go no faster at all. Maybe pull it around with the atv . But is it really that hard to switch the legs . No really
You need to learn lots from excavator operators
You only needed to dig a hole beside that bolder, and drop it in there,
LOL at your energy. Dave is having fun and learning on his own just fine.
The struggle is real
