- Ball Field Done Right!
I had a blast With Kevin and Taylor! I learned quite a bit from two of the best in the business. I look forward to marketing heavily next year to be able to offer laser grading to ball fields in my area.

Kevin and Taylor had a great time showing you all the features of our ABI Force Z-23SL laser package! Keep up the great work, Pete!
ABI Attachments Does this machine have a verticutting attachment?
@@HomeRunLawns The ABI Force has many different attachments you can use for your job. Give us a call and we would love to discuss the many different configurations we can offer. (877) 788-7253
I love this.. I do grading and stuff at work with that same exact topcon laser.. so watching this I knew exactly what yall where doing and why.! I actually learned something new as well with getting the percentage.. thank you Pete.!
Pete I love when you get this excited, makes for such a good video
Great to see a man so passionate about his product
That is one sweet machine! I bet that thing would be killer for yard renovations also seeding and all you can work the the ground smooth it out spread the seed and I think you could lightly rake the seed in with that vibraflex. Of course you can do it all with the ventrac also lol.
One of my favorite videos Pete. Love your positive energy sir!
Pete
Thanks you for the video. This is exactly what I asked if you could do. Love it. Keep up the great work brother.
Get your ball field right! Thanks Pete and ABI. 😁 May God be with you all! 👍
An interesting note is that once the grade is programmed, the operator can essentially laser grade any time they work the field. So if you're doing touch up work before or after a game, or a tournament, you're doing it with laser grading accuracy. Very cool machine.
Laser grading is great, had a buddy with small motor graders with lasers, he would do large commercial slab leveling and was capable of doing ball fields, but not a efficient as this machine. Very neat seeing this in action.
I need this machine and all attachments. Think I’ll start my Christmas wish list to Santa now! Great video, Pete! Thank you!
What a great demonstration. Thanks for sharing.
Wow. That is just amazing!
Now that’s having fun! Make’n that dirt look pretty
I love the review at the end of these vids with the music 🚜👍
Awesome video Pete, keep em coming!
wowwww, man I have not play baseball in years, but man that looks amazing!!!!
I see reel mower lawns in your future. "So you want a putting green in your back yard - I can do that for ya" says Pete!!!
Tell me you're gonna take the roller attachment to your lawn to make some sick stripes at least once. Or even the outfield :D Nice job with the production, glad to see the drone shot comparison while you were working on the field for the before and after shots. Night and day difference.
That thing is awesome!
I love your videos!!! I work at a school district and we need something like this. Try figure 8 methods when grooming.
Wow,that edger is the bomb
Great looking ball diamond PETE !
Nice beautiful work you put in
To help with the the heat you need to getcha some dri fit type clothes. That cotton holds too much moisture and don't breathe. Wrangler makes some decent pants that breathe. Stay hydrated! Great video
Just awesome!!!
Oh my gosh!!!! Pete from GCI was grading the fields in my back yard and I didn’t know it?!?!? I would’ve loved to know you were there!!! I’m a big fan and live right across from Proehlific.. that would’ve made my day bc I’ve got baseball groundskeeping experience under my belt, too..
Nice video Pete! Very interesting!
Awesome product.
That was awesome but the first few minutes made my brain hurt😂
I wish I had the funds to get one of those I would use that to level out yards. For the fun of it landscapers around me dont know how to do the right pitch for a yard for rain run offs.
First Aussie 😁 A great machine with a purpose. 😁👍👍
Pete Denny if you need an excuse to come back to Indiana, I have 1.5 acres of lawn renovation to do. That machine would be perfect! I’m not too far from Mishawaka either. Would make for a great customer spot light project! Very cool video my friend!
Really cool!!!!
Watching your videos going to start working on this/ this week.
Need beginner stuff to know
Good stuff!
I need a machine like that!
Man… I could really use this AND someone who knows how to run it on my
Magic circle right now😁
Man,would love to have my yard and driveway done with this set up. Hey Pete you up for a road trip to Ga. 😁😁😁
Send him to Arkansas when he's done. Haha!
I'm headed your way bro!
North Florida next!
I'm pretty sure the next innovation will be that these will not require any human just pull up. Take your measurements. Set the boundaries. And push play and come back at the end of the day to collect the equipment.
LOL...I told them I wanted the first remote control version!
very cool video
Wish my builder woulda had this done on my lawn!
I heard that. I would pay extra too👍
Hey Pete, any tips on removing crawfish burrows in an outfield
Hey Pete, looks fantastic machine. Will you buy a new machine or upgrade your old abi? Cheers (nice haircut too) 👍
awesome. I think its time for a soccer field. lol
This is awesome. I always wanted to know how pro fields got maintained.
Professional teams have proper drainage systems they don’t use this
Pete put the mask back on, I need to get warmed up! I can safely say this was probably the best video I’ve seen for a long time! I hope you add this to your bag of tricks Pete! We could have another baseball revival if every ball field in America looked like this!
lets do it!
Any video on how to set up the Lazer level?
No mower attachment? With that you wouldn't need anything else! Top marks for a great product demonstration.
Dedicated infield groomer
Does this machine have a verticutting attachment?
That unit is sweet. I am building a little league field right now. I was wondering if you knew the mix ratio of the soils it takes for the infield. Clay, sand…??
did u figure it out?? when i did the fields in my town we used brick sand and clay, cant remember the ratio though so i wont say what i think it is, just in case i make myself look stupid
Boys and their toys! :-)
How you clean the abi after work
Hi from south bend indiana ! Right next to Mishawaka !
Hi I'm from elkhart, next to mishawaka.
Hey Pete out in the mid west and was thinking about do field renovation, maintenance and level. So I was wondering about the market and ball park on a price per field. I do know there is a lot a variable for a price. Just can’t find much on it. Thanks Pete and God bless you and your family.
Did you get an estimate or quote from anyone? I'm guessing for a softball infield about $1,000. More for other parts of the field. I'm figuring about $125/hour for 8 hours.
How much do you charge to do a field. Out infield has grass around the pitchers mound
This is kind of cool but seriously what city has the commitment to do this
Hey Pete, When He was talking about the reciever How much did you learn that you didn't know before? Great Video!
I knew the basic concept of everything they taught me...they were great at showing me the fine details!
did you gt one of these? how are you lking it?
How often is the laser grading done? What would be the normal weekly routine to maintain this field?
I know the guy that maintains the fields where they play the little league world series has one of these and he laser grades with the vibraflex every time he works the field. He probably does it twice a week at least
Sold!
Hey Pete, what is the distance from the pitchers mound to the outfield edge? Is it the same radius from 1st to 3rd base outfield edge?
For fastpitch softball, place a nail centered on the front edge of the 43' rubber. Then using the nail as its center point, strike a 60' arc to establish the correct edge. The arc should be continuous from foul line to foul line. Then establish lines of your choosing from the arc's intersection with each foul line to the side fences. You can refer to diagrams in NFHS and NCAA softball rule books.
Can someone help understand 2.5 inches divided by 63 times 8.33 at 2:17
I’m a first year varsity softball coach. Our tractor for dragging is broke down, I’ve got one 16” rake, a home made drag (made by myself) and a garden hose that won’t attach to fields water source. I’ve inherited a complete nightmare and I don’t know where to start. On the bright side the girls are AMAZING and appreciate everything I’ve attempted to do with what I have. How can I get in a raffle for charity field makeover? I’ll plaster your company on backstop & fences. Please help guys. These girls deserve it. How can I get in touch with you?
You like it tight and clean don’t ya Pete?! Lol
Pete, how long did it take you guys to level that field? Very cool machine!
we were there all day...8 hours or so....If I take the filming out I would say around 5 hours if you got at it and did not stop....experienced operator maybe 4 hours or so
@@GCITurf sweet! I can see its a lot of work! But what a finished product!
What would it cost to laser grade a softball field like this? I’m looking into getting it done and need to know a baseline estimate.
Did you get an estimate or quote from anyone? I'm guessing for a softball infield about $1,000. More for other parts of the field.
Wow...big question...cost? and how much per service to a field?
Patterson Landscaping you’ll need to call them on pricing. As far as what to charge they told me anywhere from $1500-$4000 per field with all kinds of variables and depending on what quality of field you are working on
wow...
ayye im in greensboro
What where numbers Kevin showed 2.5 inches 63? 8.334?
The 2.5 is the drop (distance below the benchmark) the 63 is the feet distance from a point. So for slope it is drop or rise divided by distance. But to do it I put the 63 ft into inches 756. So 2.5 div 756 = 0.00330688 times that by 100 to get .33%. Not sure what he is doing with the 8.334. Maybe someone else can explain that.
Kol thanx
@@andresanchez1943 2.5/63*8.334=.33% 100/12 is 8.33333. Kevin found a way to take a step out of the equation. The part where you have to multiply 63x12.
Wow your wife is a good looking woman! God bless!!
God bless you too thank you
Pete is the mf’in man
Man those bullpens could use some help...
Does the laser tell the tool bar when to dump???
yes sir it does
I cringed when he shoveled the ag lime into the grass, and when he showed how it was level with the grass and the grass was full

Striperman 🤣🤣 Hope you having a great day? 😎👊
Striperman Ben skipped over my comment🙁
Really George?!? Get back to work! Dang always first 🤪🤪
Mark Caldwell 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Good afternoon Striperman and George, I saw you both getting some Lawn Tips earlier in your day.😁
Just $27,000.00 Plus, SMH! I will find a REALLY WORLD solution.
If you know what your doing and have a good eye... You don't need to spend the money on this!
That's a nice set up for someone that does this type of work all day every day. For someone that might and I mean might do this once a month max it will sit and rust in between jobs. Another very poor choice of how to use limited capital when there was already several different machines sitting and rusting that could do this well enough when you're talking about teenager baseball. If you ever wanted one of these or a Ventrac or any other very lightly used machine for lawn care etc. you will get your chance soon enough on the county court house steps.
What are you getting at here Rusty? Are you saying that Pete is wasting money or people out there who would like to have it and several other pieces of equipment will be wasting their money?
@@Goblues22 Any $20K machine needs to be used and very often or you can end up losing time and big money especially when you already have another $20K machine that can do this job well enough for that level of baseball. To me it's a neat machine but poor use of capital.
County court house steps? I don't follow....you saying Pete will face legal trouble?
Scott Summers no he’s saying it will get auctioned off at the court house like when they sell house after foreclosure or bankruptcy.
Kevin Buchanan oh, gotcha. Thanks
Don't bother asking Pete anything you will never get a respond from him looks like he just makes video's of showing us what he does at work
😭
I am responding to you now friend...I try and respond to as many questions I get...How may I help you today friend?
RonTech34, and in a month, you couldn’t bother yourself to go to GCITurfacademy.com and look up grass seed? If you go look, You will clearly see that he has a 25 lb bag and a 50 lb bag. If you’re somehow new to the “inter webs”, you should check it out.
@@andrewp.619 no I couldn't
@@rontech34 I have no clue what you guys are talking about but I am here if you need me Mr. Ron
