Leave the backhoe on for ballast when using the front end loader. The tractor is less tippy and you get less wheel spin. Use the backhoe to loosen the compacted soil and the front end loader to remove material.
Nice work. I am renting a Skid Steer Front Loader, next week for two long days, $500. 48 hours. digging a bit moving a lot of stuff around and new gravel.
Eh, that foundation was to the retaining wall rock you tore out. That was a retaining wall not a rock wall. I think you are going to have problems with your hillside slipping in now that you tore out the retaining wall. That was obviously stepped down from the railroad ties to give water runoff a place to go to prevent the hillside slipping into the house/garage.
MrHunterseeker entirely possible. Time will tell if my dead man railroad ties setup can hold back that much soil. One of the few downsides to living in the mountains is never having a flat spot to build on. I'm no engineer so I had to build the wall using methods shown by others here on RUclips. Wish me luck!
If you are keeping it the way you have in the video, where you stacked your railroad ties against the hill, you need gravel, all the way to the bottom, between the railroad ties and the dirt (about 12 inches wide area) and at the bottom some 3 inch perforated pipe to give the water a way to drain and to prevent slippage. Otherwise, water will end up making the area you cut straight down slip/sag.
I ran the Kubota for 3 hours and then took a hour break and ran it for another 2 hours to finish up. A lot of that second half was "finishing work", trying to get the corners right and the ground flat.
Wonderful video
Thank you
I'm about to start a similar project myself. On the fence between b or bx. Thank you for showing what bx can do
Might want to break that up with the backhoe first
Man I really like your video, big fan - I like the practicality most of all.
Glad you like!
Is it gas ?.
No, this is a 25hp diesel.
Very cool. Thanks for sharing your project!
Looking good my friend
Practice makes perfect , you find what works for you . The Kabota seems to be the perfect size , doesn't trip over it's self .

strong best 25hp kubota never beat them hard belive the newholland T2320 couldnt dig that wich kubotas are like a hulk

If only you had a Piranha tooth bar, it would take half the effort, enjoyed the vid!
Almost takes the work out of it as my dad says.
Sounds like you dug out ~20 cubic yards. How long did it take for the dig?
