Building a boulder wall and grading around it in a backyard of a customers house. I am using our Caterpillar 316F excavator with Engcon Tiltrotator.

I love the machine my man, very efficient and powerful setup. But more important than the machine, you're an incredible operator, you've got natural talent and lots of practice. You're incredibly smooth and precise. Thanks for the videos!

[@ScottyLo]

What a beast of a machine. The attachments are really nice. Being able to use them like that is impressive. Nice work

[@sandybalthilde]

All by yourself.give me a try.you won't be disappointed from Seychelles.great work.

[@73DiamondReo]

id really like to try out an engcon for pipeline work. I could see it cutting down a ton of time digging around pipe, sloping ditch for a bellhole and on final cleanup.

[@birkeldirtwork]

Wow that is an efficient setup! Get it done, on to the next job, more jobs, more income, keeps your banker happy.

[@papachulotosco]

Beautiful job 😊

[@hoophil]

Wow, what a nice job! You sure have talent for running your equipment!

[@sectorjt]

Looking good brother!

[@joshmarauder]

This guy is a beast operator

[@johnfry9010]

Amazing !

[@joncon4746]

The equipment is great, but you gotta know what the heck your doing to get it to do what you want!

[@Neg_Ice]

Amaazing!

[@leol1682]

Like the job you have done Tom .to the next job now .

[@Trimble_Korea]

good work

[@derekcomingo2197]

sweet well done

[@derekcomingo2197]

sweet bucket....we have a southworth milton cat dealer up here

[@dylanchalmers6231]

@Dirt Ninja our yard may need some landscaping done especially since it has some pot holes and the terrain is bumpy. got any tips for that?

[@mikesbobcatservicesllc-mic6927]

I have an E55 Bobcat excavator looking at the hydraulic quick tach Option that's about $5500 also looking at tilt Tache for grading bucket Probly 4000. Which one do you think would be most useful. I do a lot of final grade for concrete slabs after plumbing Trenches

[@LadDox_]

How did you get into excavator operating as your job? How did you start learning?

[@CountyCorral]

Looks good man. Would love to get back in a excavator. Did you teach yourself how to use the Earth Works or do they train you how to use it?

[@FredPalmerJr1]

You got the life my friend. Would love to get into this line of work. I have 30 plus yrs. experience. But never for myself. Go figure.

[@scnomad3626]

Wouldn’t it be more efficient to restack a bunch of boulders from the pile instead of walking back and forth one rock at a time? Nice work!

[@MichaelJeffers75]

Have you tried to roll the beam so only the roller contacts the ground? I bet you could use it like a big ass rolling pin to spread and compress like it was bread dough.

[@berkoskilandscaping4247]

With how steep that hill is, why didn’t you use all that extra stone for a second row? Just curious, I think you did a great job either way.

[@blazingrestoration2914]

Hey @dirtninja why is the ground that u were digging all sand

[@jakewidger1226]

I was wondering roughly what the hourly rate for that machine is because we run a similar setup in the uk and was wondering what the price difference was

[@autovikup2428]

Пальчик вверх👍 и подписка!

[@JRAT777]

Those attachments are awesome! How much did the tiltrotator, grapple, and grading attachment cost?

[@mikehydroseed1282]

Impossible question?

[@elbuggo]

@@mikehydroseed1282 65K for the Engcon he said, installed.

[@juhatikka3429]

@@elbuggo With the CAT grade maybe 65k$ but the Engcon alone should not be much more than 30k€ installed with the grapple or then you have double prices comparing to Europe.

[@kenoxykenoxy]

Make a translate Ich fahre auch Bagger aber wenn ich mache so tief wie du mit schaufel ich habe 3.000€ etwas beschedigen.. entwieder Wasserleitung oder Strom Kabel anschluss oder Netz kabel.. auf jeden Fall guten Arbeit.. schöne Grüße aus Österreich 🇦🇹

[@johnvanbarneveld6760]

No filter cloth needed behind that wall?

[@suewalsh6736]

give it a couple years it will be washed away

[@delcasaleexcavating9508]

Tom,. What size machine ( operating weight) is your Cat ? And what brand is the rotator ?....... I just ordered a helac for my Kubota 161-3 miniexcavator... Thanks

[@Tommy-Holm]

tiltrotator is engcon

[@quintinwilcox7617]

I just have to say I am so very envious of your setup, I have seen the potential of these for years I just haven’t been able to convince anybody to spend the money investing in the setup

[@gooblin1982]

Well the US is like 25-30 year behind Europe finally u got the god stuff :P

[@derekcomingo2197]

i can hardly get any seat time in excavator

[@user-wg9id4vs8m]

Охеренный ротор с быстросьёмом

[@mikethorntonr1]

Rototilt way batter than that junk lol but you just got it cause they probably have a deal cause KZbin and you'll talk about it rototilt dont need to already have there demand and are well known

[@jot017]

Punctuation would have made your case much more appealing.

[@scnomad3626]

jot017 ...and coherent sentences.

[@gooblin1982]

Engcon he got the best :)

[@Dolomedesspider]

"....Rotortilt don't need to, alread have there demand and are well known". At least Engcon sells their products under their OWN NAME. What has Rotortilt (previous name: Indexator) done, well they have been so far up with their tongue in Caterpillar's ass so they sell their junk under the name: Caterpillar(in the USA market that is). Still, under that black and Cat-yellow paint it's a Rotortilt/Indexator, but now americans thinks that Caterpillar finally have invented the RT for excavators, when it actually has been on excavators here in Sweden since 1985. And Rotortilt.. a better choice than Engcon? So.. tell me why the 3 latest machines I've operated had a oil dripping Rotortilt? Sorry for the bad english, it's not my native language.
