Backyard Clearing Project - Cat 316F w/ Engcon Tiltrotator

[@danielparraz1155]

Was pulling elm trees out with a little 2-4 ton recently - i wish i had a ripper instead of the bucket...it really is the smart way to get this done..your custom ripper is pretty impressive!

[@Kepuuu]

You are being very gentle with your tiltrotator. They hold up a lot of beating. I usually take it off only when handling big heavy pieces of rock or using a hydraulic hammer.

[@jimmydickson8854]

Have you see the flat broom attachment it’s about the size what your using there it’s great for road. Works ect check them out they use them in Europe a lot

[@HankinsExcavating]

I agree with working with home owners!! Best part is they see there yard absolutely destroyed, they leave . They come back sometime later and it's all done and better than they expected. Permanent customer!!!

[@broganlund1268]

It's to bad that rake attachment doesn't have a thumb grabber to shake most of the soil out. Still a wicked attachment.

[@civilizeddelinquent563]

Patiently awaiting the plowing vids!!

[@wideslammer]

I was just checking in for the same reason. (Dec. 25)

[@stephenborn2916]

Hey Tom, I own a small construction company and would love to get more into excavation. But I built a ripper for my cat 305c cr. I pulled 35 large stumps with it last Saturday and it was awesome! Would have taken twice as long with a bucket.

[@SuperIanjohnson]

Great job, buddy. I love that grading beam-never seen one before. I really enjoyed this video; you now have a new subscriber in 'locked down' England!

[@maineman11]

Thanks for the before and after photos.

[@ResidentialDirtWork]

Another awesome video, thx for the explanation of how and why you were using each attachment! I got to get me one of those rotators..

[@DirtNinja]

Thanks for watching. Glad you enjoyed it

[@bricechristiana3632]

you the man bro nice work

[@Peter_Riis_DK]

Seeing the result I appreciate why the home owner would be satified and pleased. Excellent job, man.

[@DirtNinja]

Thanks!

[@thequattro20v]

For next winter season you buy peltor ws alert xp, best thing you have bought since the tiltrotator. Trust me you will not regret it

[@DirtNinja]

is that a communication head set?

[@thequattro20v]

@@DirtNinja It's hearing protection, but it has noise cancelling, bluethooth for phone calls and spotify. You can run a compactor and speak on the phone with somebody and they can hear you perfectly fine. All those nights plowing alone, i would lose my mind with out music. :) kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZomZdpdsl9d8bM0

[@phatboizbackyardkustomz9006]

I prefer a ripper or rake doing stumps, only thing I see missing is a thumb.

[@randywilson6869]

Sum of those stumps can b heck. Have u ever saw the rooster stumpgetter

[@MichaelJeffers75]

Do you think that grading beam would work well with hot mix asphalt? Having the Engcon, you can unload buckets from a truck and drop piles, then put on the beam and spread them all out evenly while rolling at the same time.

[@Northeast_Mainiac]

You got the best job man,

[@tobiasjacobsen_dk]

Great vid. Have you ever send something flying through the windshield when pulling stumps?

[@LitlD]

Nice job, but wouldn't a stump grinder have been a lot less invasive than digging holes to bury stumps and all that grading?

[@briangardiner1015]

Stump grinding would have been more expensive.

[@DirtNinja]

Yes but they wanted everything cleaned up, not just the stumps

[@NZDIRT]

Tiltrotators aren’t as fragile as most think, I use mine to rip up concrete foundations frequently

[@TheLPFTW]

I was about to write the same thing, we use it with the digging bucket in rock and ripping asfalt and so on without problems 🤓

[@DirtNinja]

Yup! They are built very strong!

[@saff_cozzie]

Shame can't add pics got one with my engcon on 5 ton Hitachi zx55 and large stump u dug out

[@jimmystrain883]

Are you pleased with 316f

[@12ozbuds]

Now you have to go back with a bucket or rake and backfill. With a bucket and a thumb you can do it all in one pass. Also with a bucket you can dig on the front and back sides of a large stump. The thumb will also act like a rake and you can throw your stumps. Now with abucket and thumb you don't have to carry all the extra attachments.

[@DirtNinja]

All true but it would have taken me twice as long probably with just a bucket and thumb. Just grading everything with a 10ft grade beam compared to a 3ft buckets is a massive time difference.

[@sonnywilkins1558]

I was wondering did you check any other tilt rotators or reason you went with Engcon and how do they do i just ordered a 310 and we do residential light Comecial grading

[@briangardiner1015]

Was that a Millenial Farmer shirt? I think what scares a lot of people with a tilt-rotator is the price. What they don't realize is it actually lets you finish jobs quicker cus you don't have to move the machine.

[@DirtNinja]

No its my company's shirt. And yes exactly, lets you do more with one machine very efficiently.

[@Jibbs_actual]

That rake is sweet! Wonder if it would be added sweetness to have a thumb on it too!

[@KeithTharp]

Hey Tom! Cool to see the channel still kicking butt! "One take baby!" Hope things are well!

[@DirtNinja]

haha, everything is good! Hope all is well with you!!

[@jimmystrain883]

I like that gradebeam

[@tjmerrigan]

Did u see the 2020 cat line yet

[@delcasaleexcavating9508]

What brand of ripper did you buy ? And what is the operating weight for your Excavator ?

[@nlstockstill]

ditto?

[@delcasaleexcavating9508]

@@nlstockstill actually he said it's a custom ripper made by Rockland manufacturing.... really good company... I've dealt with them before

[@briarpatch718]

Just got to ask are you running deere controls?

[@teppotulppu1603]

Engcon control sticks.

[@r-wheelz7691]

No plowing this year huh?

[@kurtsweetser7861]

Once again a great job

[@thomasdavis4253]

sad thing is... for the owner at least, if maintenance isn't kept up in that area, underbrush will grow back with a vengeance. It doesn't take long. Ripping out a lot of the roots helps, but one or two seasons and it will be right back. Sad to say, the best long term solution is to get rid of all but a couple of trees, so light can get in there and grass can grow.

[@harryhogan-shaw5472]

Love these backyard projects keep up the great work!!!

[@DirtNinja]

Thanks!

[@precisionfilms3777]

You ever get sick of running excavators

[@nomerc3608]

You need to get that big blackhead out before it gets any bigger. They will just keep growing till they turn into a huge scar after they are removed...

[@jimmystrain883]

That is a nice outfit there

[@iwandeegenaars1552]

Nice working

[@derekcomingo2197]

but it doesnt come out as finished. really rough nice attachment though. someone with stump grinder and bobcat could level that off alright.

[@Peter_Riis_DK]

Yeah, but you will have all the roots lying in the ground for years and years.

[@АлексРай-ч5з]

What country and city do you work??

[@rick8910]

Dude where ya been haven't seen a for a long time glad to see you back. How did that ceramic coating work out on your excavator did it make much of a difference?

[@catertp]

Hi, i’m in wheelchair but i drive always excavator. Your system for translation is very good !!! Nothing at foot for me is better. What is The system please ? Good job man ! Sorry for my bad english i’m french

[@GakkGakkUnited]

Looking at the joysticks I would assume he has Engcon's own DC2. You can have 3 rollers in each joystick to control the tracks, and even the dozer if you want.

[@catertp]

GakkGakk United Ok thank you. Roller under joystik ? You Have picture or vidéo please ?

[@GakkGakkUnited]

Two on the underside and one for the thumb on each joystick

[@catertp]

GakkGakk United thanks to you, i will try to find the engcon joystik.

Ninja quick question what does the L stand for next to the F I ran a cat 313F L would you know what the L means thx nissan patrol YT

[@EverGoodHunter]

Long carriage (length of undercarriage)
