    Awesome job once again! Like anything else, you’ve got to crawl before you walk and walk before you can run.
    Once I retire in a few years, you’ve encouraged me to start a “tiny excavation company.” It’ll give me a little more money to live on and something to do before God calls me home.👍

    Thanks! Visiting a friend who just bought a Kubota, spent 6 hrs on it yesterday, clearing land alongside a drag strip so it can be used as a runway. Today, I'm using your tips to make a roadway

    What is your opinion on road fabric prior to laying down gravel? Also how often do you suggest to lube your machine . thank you

    I have watched and listened again. I absolutely love the videos and the information. I especially like watching the dirt move and the grading process. I don't know where this obsession has suddenly come from but is relaxing. Did you have to get any official schooling for this career or did you learn by experience? Not my expertise but would love just to watch the process take place. Thanks for sharing!

      If you're referring to the Excavator.....it is way more versatile than a Skid. You hit rock, hard pan or a stump trying to build that driveway and a skid is useless. I own both.

      "jUsT bUy A sKiDsTeEr!" using the tools you have is sometimes easier than buying or renting a different one to do the same task. It would have taken far longer to get ahold of a skidsteer than it would to just do the job with the tools he had, the tools he had did the job, why question it? It is also a tutorial on how to do things with an excavator, why would he use a different piece of equipment on an excavator tutorial?

    I do not remember if I ever mentioned dozers and grading but the way you were digging, I thought you were expecting me or us to watch you spend several hours digging a whole to China.
    According to Andrew Canereta, A few times up and a few times down with massaging and drainage and done. That scraping that you are doing with the bucket, too long and unessaseraly on the dull side.
