Tilling a Yard with the T66 and Harley Rake
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 2 окт 2024
- Here I help a client clean up their yard of unwanted debris, weeds and material to prep for a new lawn install. They had just recently purchased this home and the yard was left in disarray from the previous owner, filled with concrete, bricks, decorative items and more. So the T66 with the Bucket, Harley Rake and Landscape Rake made quick work of it all!
Equipment Used:
Skid Steer/CTL: 2021 Bobcat T66
Harley Rake: Bobcat 6' Soil Conditioner
Landscape Rake: Bobcat 5b Landscape Rake
Excavator: 2021 Bobcat E26 R-Series
What a mess of a yard, very nice job cleaning it up.
This machine is incredible and so strong.
Please bring us back to see what it looks like finished. Please, I wld love to see it.
Stick to only going forward with the harley rake and it will be much better. Good work.
*It'd be great to see a follow-up video on it next year when the grass is in and all the landscape is complete.*
You make me tired just watching your videos. Enjoy your youth, strength and energy because when you get old it goes away. No matter how much you want it back it's gone forever.
So, I'll just enjoy other young folks being young and healthy.
The yard looks great.
Sure, but as you get older the negative consequences of hard drug use get less, so its way easier just to trip the fuck out and get to work...
So I’m an excavation contractor, and I have a question about Harley rakes. If your churning up/grinding up all the sod, weeds, debris, and smoothing it out….won’t the land grow back what you just pulverized, specifically all the weeds, crab grass, dandelions, clovers etc?
The rake does a couple of things. It will relieve compaction and then grade the property to its smooth. Then you can plant fresh grass and start a lawn care program to control the weeds. Weeds are a constant battle and will need to be managed regardless.
@jackfoxxx68 not if he would have used round up first.
Your dealer did you a solid on that attachment. Having great relationships with other businesses pays off
_"eh ... just push it to the back"_ Famous words said by every homeowner ever, since the caveman!
Till the adjacent landowner comes out and says your on my property and the shitstorm starts .
Could not agree more! A little more effort, maybe some on the owners part to clear all that out! I’m sure that is not the contractor’s preferred method of operation!
Those words usually means I can’t afford to pay to haul it off 😢
I used to own my own bobcat. Rented one of these to finish reshaping my yard. A year later, had a lot of compliments that my yard looked like I laid green carpet because it was so smooth. Really enjoyed using the lawn rake.
Looks good but was it a good idea to bury all that brush?? When it decays you’ll have quite a bit of settling.
Very interesting video I was enjoying every second of it watched it all the way through nice work buddy you did excellent....😁👍
Awesome, thanks!
The tilling and Harley rake attachments are new to me. They're sure "slick". Very impressed with what they can do. Quite a satisfying video. God bless.
Your lazy get a push mower
Site should have been sprayed with pre emergence, mowed and cleaned up before that machine was ever on site.
Not the way we would do it.
Stumper bucket and bucket with teeth needed.
Just enjoy the video ass clown
Can you share what you quoted for this job? I jave a similar issue and want to know of i should just rent or if a service provider rate would be reasonable.
Dudes a maestro on that excavator, makes it look easy but it takes many many hours in that thing to get good at it and a lot of people will never be that good, ever.
Thanks!
Great job my friend. I enjoy the videos. It looks like your stable of equipment is growing quickly. Good for you man.
Excellent work, great video. It makes me want to play in the dirt even more, it’s so much more fun when you have big people toys.
Wicked nice. The place is transformed!
Thanks!
Cool video, but I would have cleaned the debris up and hauled it out. Then brush-hogged everything, then raked or tilled it, then leveled. Long grass and brush is hard to deal with while trying to grade.
That what i have done
Boy that place was a mess. Looked a lot better when you were done.
Enjoyed the video
I just ordered a skid steer with a power rake
Awesome, hope they work out well!
Nice job separating the stuff you pushed back. Seen so many times people cram it in a big pile and walk away.
Brilliant work! this is a huge job!
Thanks a lot!
Nice work bro! Is that a snake a 49:26+ in the lower left?
Thanks! Looks like it could have been!
Fantastic job, and what a workhorse that Bobcat is!
boy you sunk a lotta money in equipment new truck skid loader mini excavator
You sure did transform that yard. Thanks for sharing.
I see that there's too many comments for me to go through them all to see if anyone already suggested this but using those straight hose fittings is nonsense. Have them switched to 90 deg fittings. If the sales or repair people say you can't then go to a local hydraulic repair shop and they will gladly do it. Trust me, I'm a Nuclear ballistic submarine mechanic with advanced hydraulic systems training. Your machine will have no performance issues from switching to 90 deg fittings. And then you should have ample room to fully operate the top without any interference with the hoses. If it's still an issue then it's a design flaw and the hydraulic motor should be rotated 90 deg.
Did Andrew Camarata start a new channel? Is this it?
This is shit ton of work to do I hope you got paid well.
Haha cant ever compare to the man himself! Certainly was a good chunk of work and definitely got fair pay for it.
We use a similar process for seed/sod prep. Harley Rake/Soil Conditioner first for the larger rocks/roots, followed by the FFC Preparator. We've use the landscape rake attachment before both work great for finish raking.
What a difference between before and after, great job!
Thanks!
Bro you did an awesome job on that property. The grading cld have been better, but good job on the property.
Amazing video. Andrew Camarta style.
Whats the range from a cost standpoint to do a job like this?
Nice work, it really looks great! When doing jobs how far are you willing to travel?
Thanks! I generally will try and stay within 45-60 minutes of my location depending on the job.
An instance where the yard looks better than the actual house.. 🤪
Hopefully they maintain the property and don't let it turn into a jungle like it was before
Oh my god that thing is amazing I wish we had a place up here for me to rent. so far I’ve had to buy my apartments the price isn’t real bad it’s the cost to get them to Alaska . Last year I bought a auger and it was $2000 in shipping
Y’all took a sow’s ear & made a silk purse out of it. People will see the work that you have done & want you to do their’s. More work for you $$$ that’s the whole idea.
Great transformation, looked like a reasonably fun project.
how does the rake deal with rocky soil
I picked up my T66 in January. I'm not a contractor and its the first time I have ever operated anything like that before. I use it to maintain my two campgrounds along with my personal property. I absolutely love it! I have been wanting to get one of these power rakes for a while now to do exactly what you are doing right now.
Have you tried adding a t66 turbo with nos and a motec system exhaust?
Wow. What a difference!
Wow remarkable change ... your the man !!
Coolest item I’ve seen yet on your projects. Thanks for the vid 😁
No problem, thanks!
What a transformation. Great job.
Should of stuck with the harley rake and used your rock hound for picking up the piles after. Would of turned out alot leveler. Lot of work there tho. You did good.
Unfortunately harely rake was on rental, I got my rock hound a week later and I could only bring so many implements on the tailer. this location was 40 mins away. Thanks!
Welcome to the more money than brains club. When your using the little hoe put your blade down and lock it in place and you won't bust the drive gear or snap something you need. Just a thought.
Atleast keep the blade down to keep you stable and not rocking all day. The bugs the shit out of me rocking back and fourth
The harley rake on the front end of a skid steer is the jam.
21:34 that looks like an old foundation of a home or some kind of building yikes
Looks amazing, when that grass grows in it’s going to look really good
Horrible music
Thanks!
Don't why topsoil was needed, that was raking up nicely. So what will the owner do for vermin - rabbits, moles, badgers, mice! Bain of my life and no stock control fencing for deer. Love to see how it looks now. Machinery performed well, no question and a great video. Now the work begins with tree management and that lawn mower!
Pretty darn good machine operator. Keep up the good work.
Cut up the wood and have fires or sell it to someone that would use it…. Don’t just let it rot away… my uncle had his woods cleaned up by the local saw mill…. For a price…. Lots of work he did not need to pay to have done but got paid for it… that’s smart business….
You need to add a grapple or grapple bucket to your attachments. It will save you so much time you will be amazed. We bought one of the rock-rake grapple buckets and it works so much faster when dealing with old yards like this where there is all kinds of rock, concrete, bricks etc. laying around. Cuts prep time before power raking by at least 4x.
Oh and instead of digging those big rocks up I would have the 3 to 4 foothills and put the rocks in them and cover them app cause what you're gonna do with all those big rocks
You need to invest in a rock bucket so you can pick up those kind of rocks
Looks great - nice work!
I. know some people want to be like andrew camarata but andrew got the work touch people like when it came to work. His the best ... But u guy's are trying and put out good video's 2👍👍👍👍
Bobcat should have been backed onto the trailer.
Man I can't believe this customer didn't know anyone that would have scooped up that wood....
Nice machine work operator 😊
How deep can you till with that Harley rake?
I bet you when the yard was taken care of that was probably a pretty yard overgrown now needs to be trimmed back, reminds me of my dad yard
did you find yourself tilling up NY areas with roots? I am grading a property with a bunch of roots from pine trees scattered on the property and as soon as I starter grading, I started exposing all of these roots. I was wondering if this would help fix some of that problem by maybe tilling them up.
Guys from the countryside are better, more fun, better company. Atte, a New Yorker.
EPA approved? I'll be fine.
You had me at "bit of a mess" and "till it all up"! Very satisfying vid! Keep it up!
Glad you enjoyed!
Hello from Ohio you say that that tree was a huge I bet you that it wasn't because in my grandmother's backyard there was a tree that we cut down that was so big that it took three persons just to reach around the tree and then they almost couldn't reach each other then well the tree may not be there anymore but the stump is and she had one in the front of the house almost the same size
Could you go back and film a brief update, to show how the grass came in since?
Great job , looks good. And by the way I have busted my share of hydraulic fittings
just stumbled upon your channel--noticed the NH plate on the trailer--i live in the great north woods myself.
Nice! Yeah I am down in Rockingham County, by the Mass border.
@@CarlsonSonLandscapingLLC left Mass in 85 for NH--never went back. lol
good luck with your channel and business.
Haha, I moved up here a few years back from Mass as well and don't plan on ever going back. Thanks!
Absolutely perfect! Beautiful job.
Can you come to illinois and do like 4 passes through my little yard with the landscape rake? 😂
Pretty impressed with the job you did.
If you have two machines and two operators, use the mini as the broom and the bobcat as the dust pan ...... works very well and fast.
What did you charge for this job?
Reminds me of our situation. Got a great deal via family on an older house and decided we were at least going to have an amazing yard and irrigation system. 😂🎉
Should have picked up all the cent pices by hand first. Probably would have if it was his own power rake.
Brilliant job buddy..
Please come to Pennsylvania to prep my yard for renovation 😀 That landscape rake is badass.
What size trailer is that?
It's a 17' flat deck with +3' from the ramps laid back down
What did you charge for this job?
I thought you were going to pick up that mess. Did the owner want all that mess just pushed back? That does not seem right.
I'd take that landscape rake back to Bobcat and have them put 45° or 90° elbows on those motor hoses and clock them to where there's zero bind on the crimp fittings. I realize they helped you out with a generous discount on that attachment, but those should have been engineered better. Way too much bind on those fits by using straight couplers even with no pressure in them.
Yea, I have to still throw some 90s on it, since I am mindful of the interference. I think the main issue is the 6b is the recommended size for my machine. The 5b I got (due to deep discount) is just a little too narrow (made for the next size down machine), so the hydro motor hoses line up perfectly with the quick fittings.
How do you bid somthing like this? How much did you charge?
Where’s the after? Good work tho! How big was the yard and what’s the price on a yard that size?
I recommend getting a 3-way bucket then yal really have fun as well as makes life easier
Hello. My name is Denis.
What is the name of this equipment?
You need a laborer to work with you
U made a brilliant job on that
This what my yard needs a whole make over but I don’t have that money to do this 😅😅
Nice job chum. Don't mind me and my cranky old ways and comments.
does your t66 come with a spoon engine and a motec system exhaust?
Great video. That is a lot of work.... I have a large yard project that will be about 3 acres of that with pinky sized popple trees to be ground down also. That and sticker bushes. That is how I found your video which is very educational and I know that is a lot of work to go over and over again. If you wouldn't mind I was curious of about how much you would charge someone to go in particularly pick out all the garbage weeds out of their yard bring in black dirt and grade it all to perfection like you did. If I had to guess, I am on the cheap side and do stuff like that by myself I would guess at least $10,000. Am I in the ballpark? It could even be more in my opinion. What a great job you did on their yard 👍 and that big tree that was laying there somebody would probably come and take that for free for firewood. And I see you did not go around their septic tank with the Harley rake and I'm not seeing any clean out pipes or drain field. I'm sure it is all gravity fed drain field since it is going downhill.
Thanks! I generally don't disclose my pricing, but for what I do I am usually just above the rate of daily rentals for the equipment that I use in my area (machines, attachments, trailers, etc). I did stay off of the septic tank area as I was unsure of how old or in what shape the tank was in. Didn't want the machine to go through it!
How do you price your power raking jobs? I've experimented with both day-rate and per-sqft pricing. Haven't really found a good formula yet.
I have only done a few power raking jobs. At the moment, I generally bid jobs on a combination of both of those. I have an effective base hourly rate for each piece of equipment and bid based on the amount of time a estimate I will use each for (with minimums of course).
Would love to see what that yard looks like now, after the owners have replanted and new lawn
Good job on the video and the yard
Sometimes good old fashion handwork is needed, than maybe the equipment
