The Right Tools For The Job! 🧰 Rototilt Ditching and My New G-RAKE

  • This week I am ditching with the Kobelco and the Kubota and my Rototilt. I get a new G-RAKE attachment to make life easier, you can learn more about that here: g-rake.co.uk. I got the 150mm for my 8-tonne but hitches to fit the others from 4T-8T. Dad has wanted one of these for a while.
    Busy week, but with the right tools everything is easier!! Working smarter not harder. Hope you had a good week and next week we have a very special vid coming, different from the normal weeklys.

    Hi Amy, in reguards to the gripper catching the back side of the ditch, grab hold of the bucket the other way round so the gripper ends up in front of you, kind of like picking up the bucket in reverse on a standard quick hitch. Also handy for when you are digging tight up to something with a tittrotator. Hope that helps. 👍👍

    The right tools for the job are only as good as the operator using them. It's easy to see you have a good eye for levels when the water starts running before you finished the ditch. Picking stuff off the fence with the grab is a whole new level. I'd have half the fence pulled out 😂 The G rake would look well on a new 8 tonne Kubota. Why break up an excellent partnership 😊 Thanks for sharing your week with us

    Hi Amy thanks for another awesome video again. That G-RAKE looks like a awesome addition certainly does what it says. What a fantastic job you did with the ditch, the Rototilt comes into its own on those kind of things does help you have a top operator on the machine. See all the locals came out to watch your dad on the G-RAKE 😅.I can see why you love your job so much really satisfying and the scenery breathtaking. Hope you're recharged from your holiday thank again take care and be safe 👍 😊.

    I really like the bits in the video where you speed it up a bit and add music, it makes for a very watchable video but at the same time the normal speed bits you explain so well what your doing.
    This must be so helpful for new digger drivers 👍
    Happy Digging 😊

    You have it so much easier these days in my time there was no such thing as a multifunction quick connect fitting, once the bucket was on that was it so ditching had to be done at 90 degrees to the ditch with a wide bucket or if it was a new ditch a 'V' shaped bucket and you would pull the ditch into existence.

    can you buy a v shaped bucket to do ditches or would they not work. brilliant videos as always

    • @scots_knight4706
      @scots_knight4706 4 месяца назад +1

      Yes, V shaped buckets are available but I suspect a normal bucket is more versatile.
      I have had a digger once on the farm using one but it was forming a new ditch at the side of a road rather than cleaning out an existing ditch.
      Apart from just cleaning the ditch, Amy was also making "run offs" as she calls them from the road to the ditch, easy with a normal bucket as she goes along.
      She also likes to flatten down the soil that comes out of the ditch to keep the job looking tidy, easy with the back of a normal bucket for her.
      I'm not a digger driver but I have hired a few over the year.
      It's great viewing anyway 👍
