Good morning Mr Elite 🌎 works I like the mini Telehandler that you flopped of a the beginning of your video, all those items of equipment that are being built by companies around the world to make our lives easier when there is bulk delivery’s to be be unloaded are to be applauded for this, as they save time,prevent injuries/accidents and means that our work days are just great 👍.
D C ... I’m starting to see leaves in the yard already... I told Nana that I might need to get a rake for my baby backhoe to make my job easier. (I don’t know how useful it would be but I really want one!). Can I count on you to back me up on this idea?
I dont do a lot of that type of stuff but, I'm liking that rake. May have to look into getting one of those. The grease gun is one the most important tools you have, grease is cheaper than steel.
Boy, that ripper made that look easy... think how long you’d have been digging with your regular bucket. Pairing the rake with it gives you a whole arsenal of attack tools for brush and trees. I drove out there today to see how it was progressing. They’ve done a pretty good job of dinging up the parking lot where they are unloading ties and tracks. The petting barn is almost erected and, the neighbor has moved over half of the dirt pile... by the time you get back over you’ll have to check your GPS to make sure your in the right place! (Or, you could just look for the water tower... LOL.) Maybe you can borrow a railroad track to level the lot when they are finished? Just get you a steam horn and Choo-Choo your way across it a couple of times. Voila’. Good as new!!! PS: I have grass... the soil works!!!
Yes the rake is great! Oh wow I’ve been by in a few weeks I’m suppose to go next week to move some track. That’s crazy on the dirt too I called that guy he won’t sell me any of it 😡 Good to hear you have grass that’s great!
Looks like you're liking that grapple rake. Now all you need to do is build you some thumb extensions so your thumb is as wide as the rake. Video was great!
OK, first thought at first minute of vid. Me thinks Mrs. "E" would like that new 'toy' and may put one on 'her' list. What the hey, she could use it to put groceries away in lieu of stepstools! More work is good for you. You're always busy and thanks for taking us along. Be glad when the AUDIO is up to par. (Almost like one of those 'silent movies') but good job regardless. Sonny (CT)
What is the biggest diameter of tree you can take down. I’m looking to buy a 50 horse Machine and single axle dump truck. I’ve been a operating equipment for about 21 years 17 at water departments and 4 in road construction any good advice on getting started would be appropriated. I’ve watching your videos for about a year and I in joy them
I think the biggest was around 26”-28” as long as you can get the roots cut around it you’d be surprised what these machines will push. Mines 50 horse and almost 13,000lbs. As far as getting started word of mouth has always been how I got work. Facebook is a good way to advertise vs a website anymore cause it’s free. Maybe try to get hooked up with a builder or landscaper too. Hopefully that helps some and appreciate you being a long time subscriber
david bailey small waterline projects 3/4 inch line to 6 inch. footings land clearing clean out ditch’s just what ever I can do with that small of Machine
That material handler should have had a rocker switch which changes the mode from turtle to rabbit for fast and slow. Did you watch the video that I posted on YT and Facebook yesterday was the weather we had here all day didn't get above 1degC, it's meant to be spring here not winter and this was at sea level for crying out loud.
Just ordered a ripper tooth from WB for my 442, along with a new heavy-duty 24" bucket. Thinking about a root rake next year, deciding whether I want to go with one without the stiffening member between the teeth, or like this one. I clear a lot of coyote willow and juniper, along with a fair bit of embedded rock here. Any opinion?
That’s awesome! The ripper is so handy. I would go with the extra bracing less of a chance at bending one of the tines. The rake is very handy for clearing and cleaning up too. Enjoy the new attachment
Couple questions about your 260. How do you like the 4 way function on your dozer blade. I’m considering adding a mini to my fleet, i currently have a Tak TL10V2 and a kobelco 170 excavator. I work in really hard clay and sometimes its so hard i cant do much grading with my TL10 bucket (i have a reslo edge) . I can grade really well with my 170 when i have the space but that’s not always the case. Most of the time i would use the mini for grading and cutting swales. I have been very pleased with my Tak, and im looking at 50/60 size machines. Kubota offers a 6 way blade on their 40 size machine so I may look at that also but in reality i can just add a tilt bucket. My Kobelco dealer is bringing me a 35 to demo with a 4 way blade so that should be interesting to see how much i can do with a small machine. I feel like a 35/40 might be to small but I’ll see how this demo goes. Tak dealer is willing to let me demo a 50 next week also but its not a 4 way blade. Thanks for any input
Hatya05 I love it! I use the angle blade all the time I’m glad I went it with it. It makes backfilling a ditch easy and for moving the dirt away from footings. I think you will like the 250 or 260 they are powerful and very well balanced. Good luck with your new machine purchase. Appreciate you watching
@@eliteearthworksllc Well i tried out the tb240 and although it was powerful i just felt it was to small. I pulled the trigger on a tb260 this morning. I got a thumb but since they didn’t have a 4 way blade i settled for a fixed blade. Hope I don’t regret that. Used the machine for about 4 hours today and was quite pleased with everything about it. Love the videos keep up the great work.
Interesting name for a company from Ohio, The Werk Brau --> The Work Brew. And they've been around for almost 50 years. They make a bunch of attachments, see their website. Who makes the lift? What model?
Yes they make some great stuff all my buckets and attachments on my excavator are Werk Brau and the quick coupler is too. I think it’s a New Holland but I could be wrong. I’m not sure on the model number sorry. Appreciate you watching
I like that rake. Handy. I splurged today. To beat uncle sam. Bought a new Hyundai 140 with a blade. Coming out of. Boone equipment somewhere in Kentucky. $119 out the door. Plus 3500 to deliver it to new England. I thought that was a decent price. 4 yr 4000 hr warranty and 3% for 5 yr. I said yha bring it.
Amazing what inflation does. In 2004 I bought a brand new 320 CL Cat with four buckets for the same exact price. Today that would probably be 100 K more
@@fulltiltgrading8366 wow that seemed cheap for a cat 320. Even then. My brotherinlaw bought a new cat. 211. Or is it a 217. In 1985. And then. It was 86 grand. I believe it is a 217. Pretty heavy has a 220 bottom. He loves the damm thing only operator, he should go it the cat record books. He still has original complete bottom on it. Chains and all. And it has. , ready to fall over. , 23,000 hrs. The joysticks. His finger print and thumb prints are worn thru the stick. Runs it almost every day. I had all Hitachi loved them but new ones expensive. So switched to Hyundai in 2007 new. Then bought 1 new 13. And 3 new in 14. 1 new in 15. Now this one. They been good. Had some trouble with 2007. Of course no resale value. But we make money with em. Get rid of em at. 4 or 5 ,000 hr
What width are your power rake and soil preparator vs width of your machine? Looking to get one and have 7’ wide machine. Salesman is suggesting 8’. I’m worried it will be too wide for sneaking around tighter jobs. Thanks
I believe my preparator is 66” I had it with my older machine I would like to get the 76” one it’s just a touch wider than the machines by only a few inches. 8’ would be a bit wide I think and tough to see the ends from the machine.
I need to build two pads then cut in some walk ways between a few of the buildings. Then I’ll probably go work on a few other jobs for a bit then come back later in the winter after a few other things get placed. Appreciate you watching
almost as good as chris. Still need some training with brush especially once you drop it how you can just turn the tree or bush and grab it. You grab it laying the wrong way that would just pull the roots with it. I don;t want to tell you what to do or upset you I love your channel just wanted to share my honest opinion hope you don;t mind. Like from me. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you! Yeah I could try that I just kinda move them how ever lol I don’t have the power of his machine. And I come back with the skid and picked them up. I appreciate the comment and you watching
The thumb movement is seems painfully slow on that mini. Is there an adjustment for speed , I know a lot of hydraulics have a speed valve on the block .
It’s very slow the adjust in the cab is turned all the way up I’m not sure if it’s something in the cylinder or lines that slow it down. It wasn’t that way until I put that thumb and cylinder on it
I’ll bet they destroyed the environment to build the abode where you live too. And the roads you drive on... and the places you shop. Don’t be so high and mighty mr hypocrite
I wouldn't call this destroying the environment, more reshaping it. Humans aren't the only species which reshapes the environment either, with beavers and termites being 2 other obvious animal examples. Pine trees (usually) increase the acidity of the soil they grow in as a plant based example.

I totally agree and after running that thing a bit I like it. It’s very handy. Appreciate the comment and you watching
Yeah, dry ground doesn't want to give up the trees! But that rake Werks Great! Thanks for the video!
Yep lol I see what you did there 😁 I’m living the rake. Thanks again for watching
Awesome job Brandon that new rake makes clean up after clearing look a lot easier thanks for the video 💪💪👍👍👍
Thank you! Yes it’s great definitely makes short work of things. Appreciate you watching
Good job Brandon. Can always make extra money hauling equipment for other people
Thank you! That’s true, I don’t mind it once in awhile
Between the ripper and the rack gotta say they make a pretty pair to have for removal. Keep up the great videos
Yes those two are a great combination! Appreciate you watching again
This looks like a great project! Seems like there’s all kinds of work for you to do there. That rake really seems to be working nice 👍🏻
Thank you! Yes tons of work which is good. Yes I love the rake it’s very handy. Appreciate you watching man
It’s gonna be Bonfire weather before long.
Great video Brandon.
Yes it is 😁
That rake is a great piece of kit, Brandon; it will soon pay for itself.
Yes I’m really glad I got it great attachment. Appreciate you watching
Nice video...that rake does some nice work! 👍🇺🇸
Hiiiiii!
Mrs. Elite Earthworks Hiiiii! 😁
Thank you! Yes it’s great makes cleanup so much better. Appreciate you watching as always 👍🏻
D C ... I’m starting to see leaves in the yard already... I told Nana that I might need to get a rake for my baby backhoe to make my job easier. (I don’t know how useful it would be but I really want one!). Can I count on you to back me up on this idea?
Sassafras Valley if its about soending yur money....sure. If it comes to gettin in trouble with the better half, yur on yur own buddy 😂
I do like that root rake I'm going to have to get one for the 88 !
Dirt Boss Masonry & Excavating love mine. Much easier jacking stumps and concrete
I really like it I use it all the time. Appreciate you watching man
Another cool one Brandon!
Thanks buddy!
watching trees being removed is satisfying 👍
I agree 👍🏻 Appreciate you watching
That is an interesting grading rake, good job.
Thank you! I really like it comes in handy. Thanks for watching again
On some telescopic loaders the gears on the right hand lever or it’s a button on the hand piece .
Oh ok cool I didn’t know that
I dont do a lot of that type of stuff but, I'm liking that rake. May have to look into getting one of those. The grease gun is one the most important tools you have, grease is cheaper than steel.
The rake makes it so much easier and quicker I really like it. I agree I grease the crap of out them 😁 Thanks again for watching
Boy, that ripper made that look easy... think how long you’d have been digging with your regular bucket. Pairing the rake with it gives you a whole arsenal of attack tools for brush and trees.
I drove out there today to see how it was progressing. They’ve done a pretty good job of dinging up the parking lot where they are unloading ties and tracks. The petting barn is almost erected and, the neighbor has moved over half of the dirt pile... by the time you get back over you’ll have to check your GPS to make sure your in the right place! (Or, you could just look for the water tower... LOL.)
Maybe you can borrow a railroad track to level the lot when they are finished? Just get you a steam horn and Choo-Choo your way across it a couple of times. Voila’. Good as new!!!

Looks like you're liking that grapple rake. Now all you need to do is build you some thumb extensions so your thumb is as wide as the rake. Video was great!
I agree I wish the thumb had at least two more tines on the outside. Appreciate you stopping by
OK, first thought at first minute of vid. Me thinks Mrs. "E" would like that new 'toy' and may put one on 'her' list. What the hey, she could use it to put groceries away in lieu of stepstools!

Good thinking 🤣
nice job buddy 😎👊🏻👍🏻
Thanks man! 👍🏻
G'day cool video mate

That is nice!!!! Tried calling dealers in southern Idaho and never received a response..What is the cost of the rake
It was $2k
Are those ac vents in that lift that’s open station?!
🤣 I don’t know I’ll have to go back and look that would be hilarious
Does the rake work better than just a 24 with teeth? I’ve thought about getting one for loading yard waste and trash.
david bailey yeah to me it’s better it’s not as deep and can get closer to building and such. You can sift through things better
