Regrading a BRUTAL yard Choked with Weeds 4k

- This yard had NO grass- ALL weeds. We work everything back into the soil with a total regrade & new contours. Nothing hauled out or In. We turn the weed hole into a yard ready for grass seed or sod.
For more info on the bucket in todays video its at cmpattachments.com
That yard is going to be beautiful this time next year! Nice long runs to make the stripes pop. The owner will really enjoy sitting on that deck and relaxing with his new view.
I was thinking the same.. From that deck a beautiful lawn will just meld into the edge of the golf course. It's going to look very cool.
I’ve worked with heavy equipment for years, but you rigging it all up makes for genuine entertainment and lead me to realize lots of folks wouldn’t know where to start where as it comes second nature to me. Love the vids.
Good for you
I would be awesome to see an update of this backyard after it’s seeded and grown in some.
I imagine a lot of weeds have sprouted since all the existing weeds were worked into the soil. If I was the homeowner, I would've sprayed the life out of that backyard in anticipation of laying down new seed. Maybe that was done though. It would be interesting to see the yard today.
D T yeah that is what I was thinking.
@@delt19 The problem with spraying (what no one tells you) is that glyphosate kills all bacteria in the soil at a 1/50th of the plant killing concentration. Plants can get nitrogen a few ways: 1) through air... (very slow), through fertilizer that is ammonia / nitrogen-based (very fast, but short bursts), 3) through bacteria and fungus - the bacteria and fungus eat the sugar / carbs produced by the plant and offer poop.... nitrogen in exchange.
Best way to kill weeds is to till them. Wait 2 weeks and till them again. Unfortunately it's not practical I agree.
@@lifeisgood070 Interesting information. I did not know that about glyphosate. I've personally never used roundup to kill weeds and more than likely will never use it. I do use a mixture of tenacity with a surfactant for weed control and plan on applying it to my backyard to get it ready for regrade and seeding job.
@@delt19 gotcha most people don't spend that kind of money ($60) when other concentrates are so cheap. Going for the horse not the zebra. And Idk the unintended consequences of tenacity; I have not studied it.
I worked in surface mining and excavation for years and watching these transformations never get old. The satisfaction of setting back and looking at the finished product is priceless. Also l would have hydroseeded all that. Nice work guys keep up the good work.
As long as the Customer is Happy , That's all that matters , GREAT JOB 👍😀
LOL you said, “ what the bucket can do” You got skills Stan.
Great video Stanley, I find these films fascinating. The best bit was the customers reaction, he was thrilled with it. Keep safe mate
Glad you enjoyed it
Nice job! Quite the transformation on that yard! 👍🏻
Hey! Watching this from Sweden. I do similar types of work in Sweden. I use an excavator, a cat M317F with factory mounted Rotor Tilt. That gives me the ability to attach a lot of diferente buckets and other equipment. Keep up the good work.
Now the client can see and enjoy the golf course view. I would have never wanted to look out the back windows before. Looks great.
To change the cat sensitivity on the controls go in to the cat menu on the screen and its in the settings menu
Thanks Bro!
I could go the rest of my life and never hear Stan say creamy like that again. 😂😂😂
LOL
No hate the dirt work was top notch but after finishing up a similar job on my own lawn I can say with certainty that no matter how much grass seed the homeowner puts down working those weeds into the ground instead of spraying them and removing them from the property they will no doubt be back within a few months
Love this video! Love the skid steer usage!
Time for a new set of quick connects and a drain of the hydraulic system and a new hydraulic filter. Then ask your crew to wipe the connectors before connecting a new attachment, it will save putting dust and dirt in your system. Nice work you did on getting a perfect slope
Not a bad idea
SUPER NICE TO WATCH, P.S.#1English is my second language ia am a POLISH man in UK, P.S.#2 I HAVE USED A SMALLEST TYPE OF MINI DIGGER TO WORK ON MY MOTHER'S GARDEN YESTERDAY, (sorry for cpslck) I have ordered it from tools hire shop and I tried using it with v litle exp (exp of 20 minutes about 8 years a go) and my 1st 30 minutes on mini digger (kubota) and I was thinking to myself, that was a waste of 200 pounds a day but then i had a coffee and a cig, and another go and i was like, c'mon Rob, u got it man :D and By the end of the day I have smashed , learnt how to co-use 'work sticks' to play the TURFED OFF SIMPHONY in a better manner, next day mornig i had a go with some work left over from day before and with newly acquired muscle memory it felt natural, amazing, it pay's off to just try stuff u never did and discover once again that ONLY WE LIMIT OURSELFS!
lol I hope I made sense here XD
Stanley Genadek thanks for this good clip, (btw are you Polish origins? stanislaw-stan?
The bucket release pins have grease fittings and keeping them greased will help prevent them from sticking.
That’s the case drain fitting, you can unthread it from the valve body on the boom. Clean it or get a new one.
As a fellow Minnesotan you are 100% right on black dirt vs. top soil! Awesome video!
I like the trick he did on a Bobcat
Have you thought about installing a backup camera on some of the equipment with limited rear visibility? I bought a couple of cheap ones on sale a our local farm store, but have not yet got them on. I have an ASV RC30 and rear view is terrible.
Nice job! That yard is going to look amazing!
Hope so!
nice job I like that bucket
Well done Stan turned out great awesome video
Not going to lie rolling in like that to the job it's pretty cool
awesome video. i like your passion. I had my first and second run on a bobcat skid today ... i tore the place up. and it didn't take long. it was fun though. it would take a lot of practice to be efficient. beats you up too...watching you work that jobsite was helpful ..good knowledge
Really appreciate learning new tools and techniques.
I have a city lot (MPLS) that's around 42 x 120 feet, and there are fences and trees and stuff that don't really allow for heavy equipment to get in and be useful. You can barely fit a Dingo.
I like that you explain what you're doing and the feel of the machine, because I can translate that a bit and it makes my work better.
Very cool!
Should have prayed all those weeds first! They will come back before the grass seed take and choke out the new grass.
That's the idea behind the bucket, in theory, when you run it over at the end and mulch it all up it shouldn't come back. In theory.
how about stop spraying poison on everything
That’s my same thought.
Or flame thrower the yard will kill seed and spores
@@SAMPINJ soil compaction will kill all of those trees now anyway, so might as well nuke the yard..
Probably the only person born in ‘94 who was thinking “or I dream of Jeannie” before you said it
If you grease the release pins you wont have an issue. I run cats and as long as I stray greased they don't stick. Granted that's just my experience in the northeast.
Sam is all over that. I think its his mission. lol
I’m in a CAT loader with a ssqa all day everyday switching buckets and forks... maybe once a month the pins will stick, keep them greased and you will be good. Once a week I will lock the pins with no bucket on so they protrude and smear grease around the pins from underneath
I have a 279d which we get sticking pins probably once a month but we grease them daily.
you have to grease the pins with them locked and no buckets. Those new gen track cats are beautiful have to treat em right. think stan has them to throttled when doing finishing work too because they are smooth
That grass will grow in just fine if homeowner seeds and waters lightly and properly.
Especially after that thorough tilling job. Good job and advice Stan!
Starter fertilizer, lime and straw helps huge.
Yes, you are right
Thoroughly enjoyed it! Great job!
Props to the camera guy. Kept up the whole time. Very dedicated..... Never seen that hybrid bucket. New toy!!!!
Sam rocks!
That's pretty good i need something done with my lawn after 19 years living here. Its just a bunch of bumps and dips all over. We also have a big low spot that collects heavy rain and melted snow ( Minnesota winters are fun) at least a foot a water from the snow and the drainage system we had put in doesn't work
I can fix that if your near the cities
That wrench is bad ass
The good stuff is black gold. 👍
Don’t talk crap about Mississippi equipment until you’ve worked in Mississippi we don’t know how stuff gets in places either😂😂😂
Nothing like a happy customer! Great job!! God bless!
lol Happy customer till all these weeds reemerge with the grass, unbelievable for a supposed landscaping company.
God Bless brother!
Dats mad never seen a bucket like that, that’s awesome
That’s a slick bucket
I remember when you guys installed that wall in your ugly shirt haha then you changed ! Awesome stuff Stan ! Thank you
Hey Stan, Would you be able to show us what this yard looks like now and maybe again this fall?
Nice job Stan
Cheers from Aus
This was an impressive video and content!
Damn that's most of our yards here in Australia 😂Great turn out though mate
That was a awsome bucket
Let's get that hydraulic fluid changed out of the machine and attachments lol
Definitely yes! I can see hydraulic issues following if not addressed. Take a hydraulic oil sample and send it to your Cat dealer, it may save you alot of money
ASV IS THE BEAST OF SKIDSTEERS.
Man I wish I had one of these. I'm really using the wrong tools for my lawn reno.
First 30 seconds. I know the feeling. We have a cat 249d. Yesterday statted with a hydraulic leak from the grapple a knocked a track off of it
That wrench and the sockets from buying that cat. I like.
would you not recommend to kill the weeds a little before the grading?
why. you know it not Stanley backyard home owner probably didn't want that done it would cost more money for home owner.Stanley running a business he not going to do free work
Beautiful grading......Grady!
1:53 That's hilarious! 🤣 I told someone not two days ago how "I Dream of Jeannie" turbo charged my puberty 💥
Bet the neighbor was pissed with the backup alarm. I just disconnected mine, but I'm sure being an insured business on a job site that's a no-no.
The metal in the oil is a little worrying, I'd definitely change the oil and flush it. The bucket looks like it works well, I'm a big believer in a tool with multiple uses.

You and your team are amazing 👍
Sounds like its time to do the research to fine tune those controls or just pay someone to. Save so much in time and stress on the job for anyone that uses it. If it sucks for you, it most likely sucks for everyone. What do think of this little saying, per se, I just thought of, 'What I don't know, I haven't yet learned.'. Just a thought, binged it, but nothing came up. Thanks for sharing.
Thats a cool saying
Nice work!
I don't speak it but I know some words. Spanish. Palabra means "word". The song is called "The Word".
Hey I remember that wall stand has video building that wall!!
Yep- like last year or so.
Lapalabra is Soanish
@@jackmiles4443 yup
@@jackmiles4443 about building a wall?
just seed and fertilize the first frost will take out the weeds that return and by then the seed will outrun the weeds then put pre emerg and fertilizer in the spring , good to go , nice job.
Very satisfying
Wow really really good job.
Love the job site videos!
👍👍👍
Awsome work!!!!!!👍👍👍
That would be a good looking kitty if you got those “next gen” Cat logo’s on it!

To save your neck think about a rear vision camera. I have it on my skid steer and it has saved me from hitting many things while backing,
Awesome job!
Awesome work! I really wish I could get into this type of work. Love the videos Stan!
You can do it!
Has this been reseeded and sprouted yet? I'm curious to see how much of the weed comes back in places.
It will look just like before,just graded.
@@jackmasters9953 kinda what I was thinking. The way I interpreted the video was that it was graded and rid of all the weeds.
Job site videos are sick bro
Dose the bucket mulch the weeds or is it a case of breaking down to fragments and burying.
Because if the weeds have gone to seed then removing the dirt relocation from the equation the customers would have to poison and re sow correct. ? P.S. Another great video. Aussie Jeff
Once the customer gets grass established, he can do a weed and feed program and he'll be fine.
blow up that back up beeper.. I need that for my tiny backyard >>> now have the grounds crew for the golf course to seed it and fertilize the yard
He’s a perfect candidate for some hydro seed!
Stan don’t you think letting the weeds be in the ground will just make them compete with the seed and grow back?
Their are always weed seeds in the ground. You just need to get ahead of them before they root
Spray first. Harley rake no bucket. Rake all the surface weeds to one pile and dispose of later or leave as compost. No bucket needed. Added more time...
There are grease fittings on the quick coupler pins. Keep them well greased and it wont stick.
I remember this job you finished it 2 years ago just as winter shut you down. 2017 winter. Now some Kentucky Blue grass seed and some Straw and he will have the yard his neighbor's will envy.
Im with ya!
Straw for more weeds...
How much does one of those buckets cost in 72"?
Nice work. Come to Olympia Wa so I can hire you for a day
I love that Ditch Witch shirt!
I was watching on the tv and at 15:24 my mom was wondering what I was watching. Lol
7:37 Jesus did your gonna break it 😂
Would this work with a Canada Thistle problem? I was taught that if you cut up the roots of Canada thistle and don't remove it new plants germinate from the cut roots.
So, what would happen if you just came in and dumped top soil on top of all of that without grinding up the weeds first (on a lawn that 'is' already level)?. I mean, that muncher - though it is munching up the weeds - still leaves the weed material (weed roots) there (you're not 'removing' the weeds, just churning them). So, the weed biomatter could still cause weeds to grow in the new lawn, yes?
Wish I had your skill on a skid steer
If it's really a problem than a rubber glove or something and a tie rip will catch these drops nicely. At the end of the day you have a glove full of oil but the driveway is clean 👍
Managing a hydraulic hose and fitting store and selling a lot of those quick couplings on your Cat skid steer arm, go to Cat and get a new quick coupler for the arm and that will solve your leak issues. Those boys in Mississippi trashed that quick coupler by getting crap inside it and probably tearing up the seals and back up rings, hence why it is leaking slowly and I would venture a guess that you could not get the female component of the quick coupler to attach properly.
The song is in Spanish. Hello from GA, Pablo (Originally from Dayton MN)
I thought you don’t want to leave any weed matter behind because it can still seed and regrow?
Sprinkler system all am going to say
Do you recommend killing a weed like a mustard weed first before tearing up a big field like this? Do any weeds just come back through the new grass?
I'm curious what that looks like in 4 weeks. I would expect all those weeds come back
Facts
I was wondering the same thing
Best bet would have been to spray the weeds first. Hopefully all that work wasn’t a waste.
I think you Have the Best answer ……. What Spray would you USE??… of course maybe he can still spray NOW..
Gary T I would use something like 2-4D Amine or Tenacity sprays. These types of sprays target weeds and not grasses, I use these every year on my lawn.
Just let it drip. Classy.
What a great video, you should do a lot more videos like that.
More to come!
Are there no mirrors on those machines? Always nice to keep an eye on whats behind. Edit ; that backing alarm drives me nuts though, believe I would kill that :-) Dont need that offroad.
When grading like that, do you have to have a skid steer that has tracks?
I have a cat 299, if that has the electronic actuator for the attachment pins, youre going to have problems. I'm sending my 299 down the road the first chance I get and going back to bobcat.
Dustin Pryde do you mean the switch that controls the hydraulic valve that open and closes the attachment hookup pins? I’m still using a 268 Cat I bought new and have never had an issue. I grease the pins every time I grease machine.
@@technicalitems731 not what I'm talking about. mines a 2015, I don't know how long they made it but the new ones are hydraulic and same with the old ones. mine is all electric. it has like a screw jack with a tiny electric motor on it. it burns up the plastic gears inside it quite frequently. and when it breaks with an attachment on, you have to snap it in half to get the attachment off. its a horrible design.
Caterpillar got rid of them because of all the problems with them. its 4 grand to swap it over to hydraulics which I feel they should work with me a little on but they don't.
