Great you gave a shout out to gate City drainage ,Shawn is a great guy ,he's content is great.. If the job is too far away,,hes has gotten footage off the customer If they can.
Picky, picky, picky, and I love it, that looks awesome, you have out done yourself on this one young man. First time I’ve witnessed an operator get out of the machine and move material by hand to do a little tweaking and getting the little pieces the machine couldn’t pick up, speaks well of you sir. Thanks for the ride along.
I really like the follow-up video idea - it makes for a kind of "close" to the story. Plus it'll help you with your own project planning for similar future jobs. BTW I thought that rip-rap looked like a tile job! It came out really slick.
I agree it’s a way to share the results and see how it worked. I will definitely try to do more of this. Thank you! Tamping it down with the excavator makes a huge difference. Appreciate you watching as always
Man…. You work a lot like I do and I get a lot of flack from people saying that I don’t know when to say good enough is good enough 😆 I will say that you really need to get that tilt bucket on that machine. You could have done that ditch in probably half the time with a nice tilting clean out bucket. You do beautiful work my friend keep up the good videos and I like the follow up video that you did as well. All jobs look fantastic when you leave but it’s nice to go back and see how they function. It also nice to see that not everybody does things perfectly, if there even is such a thing. Sometimes I get disappointed when I go back and look at some jobs and think I should have done this or I should’ve done that differently. I guess this is a great example of how you never stop learning in this business. Nice job. With so little fall this works amazingly well.
So glad I discovered your channel!!! I’m actually in the process of a career change. Currently I am an industrial maintenance tech (for the past 15 years) and just bought a dump truck and hope to eventually get an equipment trailer and some equipment and do a little earth work as well!
I'm with you on the lift arms, slowing down. That would mess me up, too. Thanks for the Cat comparisons. Now I know what you are running! 🤪 Thanks for the Gate City shout-out. I will check him out. I am always looking for good channels to watch and learn from. Another fine looking job in the books...
Outstanding per normal my friend I too am fussy bout my work as well we run mostly 2nd Generation equipment still adjusting to all this electronic technology I am more old school but times have changed
Hi from Portugal Awesome fleet you have! I've been following Shawn(gate city...) almost since the beginning and that "feature" in is videos is a thing I like very much! Camarata used to do that. The finish result of that work you did...probably not many urban places have that attention to detail and you did that in a farm! As always All the best
Nice work! I could tell you are more comfortable in your track loader, but after 7K hours I guess you would develop a bit of a relationship with it.👩❤💋👨🤣 Keep up the great work!👍🏼
Gate City is in Greensboro, NC. I've watched some of his early vids since he's local to me. I haven't noticed my TL8 doing what you've noticed on your Dad's, but then again I don't have another Tak to compare it to. I will say it's quicker than my old T190. One odd thing I have noticed is that the bucket curl function seems slower than what I was used to. Stay safe my friend.
That’s cool! I thought he was in North Carolina for some reason. I think the dampeners is something they did on the newer 8’s yours may not be that way. It just drives me crazy lol
Brandon… pretty good shooting young man! That ditch is gonna work perfect. And with just a tad of tweaking the swale and basin will feed it every drop of water. The koochie line up is impressive. I hope you got them all lined up like Rockettes! It would make a great front page for the next Elite Earthworks calendar. We only got 1’2” of rain. It was heavy all around but not at my place. And, today we had sleet and snow. Just enough to see a cover in the grass. The roads and sidewalks were too warm. And freezing tonight? Honest to gosh, I saw a guy at Lowes trying to buy tomato plants a couple of days ago. I hope he didn’t plant them… we need another month for them to be safe! We had the house flooring replaced the past two days… I will spend all weekend putting down baseboard and sorting through stuff we found in the closets…. Can you call Nana and tell her you need some help this weekend? •wink•
Thank you! Lol I should have lined them up. It was crazy weather today. I was spreading rock on a road and it was sleeting like crazy. Winter will not go. Lol yes I will call her 😁👍🏻
Did you notice the "dampeners" in the r12 you rented with the mulcher? I don't remember if you did very much grading with that machine or just used it for mulching.
Well, that looks slick&good! Nice work ethic b.t.w. . You did the weight comparison of your excavators, why do people call a 37000pound machine a Mini? I don´t get it. And i know the gate city channel you mentioned. it´s true, he goes back to watch while it rains.
Good job Brandon Can’t wait to start moving dirt We had a snow/sleet storm yesterday Hopefully the last I haven’t recorded the 2 times I went out I am so over winter Good video
Thank you! I love it! I use to run my dad’s landscaping company and had 12 employees under me. I was so stressed out so I’m loving being by myself and running equipment
Keep thinking I wish you were closer, I'm working on the pad for my house, and if you can be as picky as you are and still work as quickly as you do, I might have a real house again sooner.
Thank you for the shoutout!! - Shawn
You are welcome! You have great content and really like the idea of checking back on these projects in the rain. 👍🏻
Great you gave a shout out to gate City drainage ,Shawn is a great guy ,he's content is great..
If the job is too far away,,hes has gotten footage off the customer If they can.
Yeah I really like his channel! I also like how he goes back

🤣 I’m very picky I want everything perfect. Yes I don’t mind getting out of the machine, sometimes it’s easier or quicker. Appreciate you watching

Nice job. With so little fall this works amazingly well.
Thanks man! Yes I’m very ocd about my work. I feel it can always be better. Maybe one day I’ll get a tilt bucket lol. Appreciate you watching
Nice, it's draining and that is what's important!
Thank you! That is true it may be slow but it’s working. Appreciate you watching
Great job! Looks really good. I liked seeing the follow up during the rain.
Thank you! I agree it’s cool to see if it works. Appreciate you watching
Oh the glorious sounds of Rip Rap! Love your videos sir..... great camera views too
Thank you!
Water tells it all. Good video.
Yes it does. Appreciate you watching
The 250 moves quick, nice work Brandon..👍😂😂
Yes it does 😁
Looks nice, good idea going back to see what really happens after a rain. It was pretty soft to start with around there. Keep smilin
Thank you! Yes you can definitely see where the water is going that way. Appreciate you watching
Gate City has some great content
Yes he does!
Heck yeah! Gate City is great!
I agree! He has great videos
What's up Ry!
@@GCFD how goes?
So glad I discovered your channel!!! I’m actually in the process of a career change. Currently I am an industrial maintenance tech (for the past 15 years) and just bought a dump truck and hope to eventually get an equipment trailer and some equipment and do a little earth work as well!
That’s awesome! Congrats! I definitely love running equipment. It’s relaxing for the most part
Hard to get water to go away without much fall, but looks good!
That is very true. Thanks man!
I watch Gates City too. Great channel.
Yes he does!
Looks great, I’ve been doing the same, going back when or after it rains to check our work.
Thank you! It helps see the problem areas for sure
Your the Charlie Daniels of the ole rock ditch there elite. Looks good 👍
🤣 love the analogy 😁 thanks buddy
Starting to shape up nicely. Looking good.👍
Thank you!
I'm with you on the lift arms, slowing down. That would mess me up, too. Thanks for the Cat comparisons. Now I know what you are running! 🤪
Thanks for the Gate City shout-out. I will check him out. I am always looking for good channels to watch and learn from.

I know you cat guys speak in a different language 🤣🤣 Shawn has a great channel and does some cool projects. Appreciate you watching as always
You have done an amazing job, customer shouldn't have any problem with this.
Thank you! I appreciate that! They are very happy with it!
Outstanding per normal my friend I too am fussy bout my work as well we run mostly 2nd Generation equipment still adjusting to all this electronic technology I am more old school but times have changed
Thanks buddy! Yeah this new stuff takes some time to get use too. Appreciate you watching
Hi from Portugal
Awesome fleet you have!
I've been following Shawn(gate city...) almost since the beginning and that "feature" in is videos is a thing I like very much!
Camarata used to do that.
The finish result of that work you did...probably not many urban places have that attention to detail and you did that in a farm!
As always
All the best
Thank you! Cool Shawn has heat content. I appreciate that! I’m very ocd on my jobs. Thanks for watching
Looks good
Thanks man!
Nice work! I could tell you are more comfortable in your track loader, but after 7K hours I guess you would develop a bit of a relationship with it.👩❤💋👨🤣 Keep up the great work!👍🏼
Thank you! Yes after 11 years in it I’m very use to the responsive of it so I’m much more efficient on it. Thanks for watching
Looks good man, me and a buddy been doing 600ft of ditch putting 5-9in rip rap today. Watching this video seeing how well yours worked.
Thank you! That’s cool! I like how rip rap looks makes a nice clean ditch.
So Nice...
Thank you!

@@eliteearthworksllc mine is a 2020
Nice job!!
Thank you!
@@eliteearthworksllc You are welcome!!
Hey Brandon, Gate City is in Greensboro NC.
Cool thank you! He’s got a great channel
@@eliteearthworksllc Ya, Atiya and I watch him. Good stuff. :)
Brandon… pretty good shooting young man! That ditch is gonna work perfect. And with just a tad of tweaking the swale and basin will feed it every drop of water.

You can definitely see the difference between the two machines on video. Certainly the larger digger looks to have a much bigger reach.
Yeah the 2150 dwarfs the 260 lol
The 2150 is a sexy beast.
I love it!
Did you notice the "dampeners" in the r12 you rented with the mulcher? I don't remember if you did very much grading with that machine or just used it for mulching.
I can’t remember I don’t think it did but all I did with it was mulch. I need to try one again. Hopefully it doesn’t lol
Shawn over at gate city does have a pretty good channel!
Yes he does!
Looks great. Is that some sort of liner in the dump bed?
Thank you! Yes it’s a thick plastic liner to help material slide out. I’ve got a new one at the shop I need to put in
Well, that looks slick&good! Nice work ethic b.t.w. . You did the weight comparison of your excavators, why do people call a 37000pound machine a Mini? I don´t get it. And i know the gate city channel you mentioned. it´s true, he goes back to watch while it rains.
Thank you! I guess it’s cause they both have a swing boom I’m not sure either lol! Yeah I really enjoy Shawn’s channel. Appreciate you watching
Good job Brandon
Can’t wait to start moving dirt
We had a snow/sleet storm yesterday
Hopefully the last
I haven’t recorded the 2 times I went out
I am so over winter
Good video
Thanks man! We had some snow today. It was 77 Tuesday crazy weather 🤣 I’m over winter too
I take it them graders are the county's I'm surprised they didn't grade there own lot after you did the catch basin and piping.
The county just parks them there, I think they are going to grade the ditch with them
Looks great! How do you like working by yourself? I think I would like to work by myself doing this stuff. TIA
Thank you! I love it! I use to run my dad’s landscaping company and had 12 employees under me. I was so stressed out so I’m loving being by myself and running equipment
Hi!
Well I was gonna be the first comment 🤬
Hey There 🙋♂️
Ohhh Shit!!!
Howdy 😘
@@DC-1 Sorry not sorry 😁 And hey! 🙋♀️
Keep thinking I wish you were closer, I'm working on the pad for my house, and if you can be as picky as you are and still work as quickly as you do, I might have a real house again sooner.
Lol I could come to Texas for a bit. It’s got to be warmer than here
Sorry, tried to be funny with reply version one, came across stupid. We do have warmer weather, but wait five minutes, it'll change.
Is rip rap rock the same as Gabion rock? I was just wondering. Looks like it was draining like it should other than those couple of places.
Yes we call it gabion here but most people on RUclips call it rip rap so I just stick with that lol
@@eliteearthworksllc I see, Midwest minerals calls it that, we hauled loads of it for a job with BNSF a few years ago.
Thomas oui ok 😁
Gate city I think is in new york
North Carolina I found out lol
🙂🙂🙂
Thanks!
