    Nice job Chris! Some people don't understand that hiring someone or renting a machine to do something you can do yourself eats into your profits. Just a little extra work. Talking about the wind, burning brush piles today, no matter what side I was on the wind would blow my direction!

    If you've never spread mulch with an excavator before you make it look like you have. You always have great ideas to work with the equipment you have. Great job as usual.

  • @jamesnull2734
    @jamesnull2734 4 года назад +1

    Excellent job of using the tools at hand. Haul truck was a smart buy, excavator large enough to do what you want, but not to big or too small. State must be an 80K since all the larger trucks I see are 5 axle. Nice work. For me, food for thought. Learned a lot ..😎

    I would have started at the upwind end and worked downwind, so the dust would blow to where the next bucket load will be going. Though I likely would have worked the end, then up both sides at the same time so each trip would be shorter distances from the stockpile.

      @@jaywest4102 yes I see it small unit flake at a time. It's a finn. Finn makes several sizes of blowers. There a simple machine. I use to a larger unit you tow and has a conveyor belt that when towed person on a truck bed/trailer would feed whole small bales on conveyor. The person on unit controls the in feed and the shoot from blower as well as speed of travel with the driver of the truck towing. By use of a horn and hand signals. Blown out 1,000 's of bales. Two to three truck&trailers loads a day. Been there done that.

    • @Fireguy1020
      @Fireguy1020 4 года назад +1

      When I did landscaping we used mulch blowers all the time. You can add quite a bit of hose to the truck because it uses air to push the material down the hose. The company we used also had truck that would blow top soil and sand. For the application it would of worked awesome, get the truck as close as possible and start adding hose.

      Craig I keep wondering how much this must have cost the customer? It looks like a rich man's pet project rather than a commercial shooting range. They wanted the pond to be deep as well, which makes me wonder if it was for irrigation, so maybe a rich farmer who likes guns. I must surely have cost hundreds of thousands and maybe even into seven figures.
