    We had an operator working material at a cement plant with a FA 21 with a ripper. And it impressed me so much. This 11 is so impressive. I would have loved seeing him run this machine on the pile pushing it to the hopper of the cement plate. Beautiful machine.

    Although my company is primarily engaged in road construction, forestry contracts, I was approached last year by a development company to tear down three strip centers. I did the math, gave them what I thought would be a bid too high for consideration. A day later their attorneys were putting together a contract and securing a performance bond, insurance. Since I’ve done four more contracts. What are being paid is amazing. Best of which, I don’t have to haul away the wreckage. I bring in one of my 395s, easy money.

    • @txviking

      Easy money if you already have a fleet of equipment, good operators, and insurance/bonding/legal to handle contracts and liability. But that's a big hurdle to clear. Still, surprised there's not more competition. Where is your company based?

    In New York, we recycle heavily. Our strategy is (As much as possible) keep like materials together. Also not all of our dump sites take all materials thus the separation. Sometimes the metal recycle sales pay for the entire expense part of the job. Keep up the good work. Also like others have suggested show the job after all is said and done. Clean, graded, Etc. Good Work 😄👏

    In all the years I've stood at an airport, I've been impressed by the power that gets the plane into the air. I have a similar feeling with excavators. Planks like 2"*8" become like matchsticks when the bucket presses on.
    My neighbor, who is not used to driving, swerved to the left with the bucket, when the intention was to the right. It took us a week to repair. Meanwhile, the children were without a playhouse.
    Were we made aware of the power of an excavator perhaps..?

      @brnmcc01 7 месяцев назад +1

      I think in this case, the concrete and cement masonry unit blocks need to go to a different place than the rest of the building scrap. This is probably why he was carefully peeling off as much of the wood pieces as possible, then toppling the block walls away from the main spoil pile. It takes a little longer to knock down the building this way, but its a lot less work later when loading out the trash than manually sorting out cement blocks from the wood and interior building debris.
