Congratulations on the Rotochopper event, Mr Digg, you deserve it 👍 Not only are you a loyal customer but you also test their stuff in ways their own R & D department never thought of 😂 P.S.

Your business vs LetsDig18, he is the main operator of his equipment…if it gets scratched Chris probably did it!

[@KB-gs8zi]

Hey Ryan !!! Great News !!! Now a Question that you might have answered already ,, but just what are the plans for the landfill when you can't build it anymore ??? 🤔🙄 Hard to imagine that houses will be built on it ,, but look what they did in Niagara Falls ,NY with the ""LOVE CANAL"" back in the 60's ??? Now , it WON'T have HAZMAT MATERIAL in it ,but just the magnitude of seeing houses on a manmade mountain of trash with your ""GARDEN of EDAN"" to beautify it all !!!!

[@CompactorCrush]

Today I was driving past a big warehouse under construction and they had probably 6-8 roll offs all lined up with signs of the different materials- wood, cardboard, metal, plastic, etc.. Maybe this would be an option for your LEED projects to reduce the manual sorting. Congrats on the event and looking forward to more shredding videos!

[@TheRealMrDiGG]

good idea, but ours is only coming from specific jobsites. They just want us to sort the materials for them

[@josephohara7407]

Put bumper guards on the equipment

[@TheRealMrDiGG]

good idea

[@donanything6816]

Ah, scratched already. I'd blame a disgruntled competitor. 😯course, for me, I'd blame the green one just because it's easy. Yes, I'm kidding, just kidding.😄😝 I do enjoy my zero tail swing Kubota. It's a U55-4 but it's a toy compared to your equipment. Your rattle can fix will make it shiny again, at least for a little while. Looking forward to the show. I hope you have a kit in your truck for bee stings. My wife was allergic and in minutes her neck would swell, making breathing difficult to almost impossible. Then a shot in the thigh. Scary stuff. Be safe!

[@markpashia7067]

That is why Volvo and Hyundai use a black counter weight, so you can touch up paint it easy. Matching that shiny yellow is tough to do with a spray can.

[@TheRealMrDiGG]

I know 😢

[@BBWA100]

Hi Ryan. At 0% interest how long does it take to pay off the Kobelco 220? It's amazing the amount of machinery goes into different operations and the amount of capital is involved. These rotochoppers seem to be the way to go, especially on the tip face. When you move to the pit and 'hopefully' have a dedicated rotochopper to that site you could probably get 2.5 times the capacity. Great vid as usual, keep em a comin. Cheers from down under🇦🇺👍.

[@TheRealMrDiGG]

48 months. It takes a lot of equipment to do what we do. Appreciate you watching from down under! Can’t wait to visit there one day

[@hl3767]

Go after dark,cover both ends with plastic and transport the whole stump to new location remove plastic.done!

[@timgiven3826]

Congratulations on the new excavator and the roto chopper. Maybe look into the ami progressive link thumb. Should help lots

[@TheRealMrDiGG]

I will check it out

[@Hunt0qt]

A huge negative to a Kobelco is the resale value. John Deere Excavators retain there values WAY better than almost any manufacturer out there, so your actual cost of the machine after you sell it/trade it would be much less then the Kobelco.

[@TheRealMrDiGG]

Interesting point

[@jackyoung42]

LD18's secret is keep a can of spray paint in the machine to fix those scratches in the counter weight😉

[@TheRealMrDiGG]

lol

Told ya Kobelco 💪 You will like that thumb mine is the same it doesn't hit the boom that's why it has lower teeth in the center..

But i can't wait to see it all

[@matt08015]

@@TheRealMrDiGG sorry about my wording i did not even pay any my mind to it in till now

[@gullreefclub]

I definitely would set the log with bees aside and let them calm down a day or two and then move the bees over to a couple hive boxes. Even if the Queen has left the hive which I doubt because of how many bees are staying put it’s still easy enough to move the workers and drones over to a hive box or two with some drawn out comb and then put a new queen into the hive in a cage for a few days until she has been accepted as their new queen. Side note A former neighbor of mine had done a cut out from a log similar to the one you just got, after he moved the bees into hive boxes he took the log to a saw mill and had them cut the log in half long ways and used them as teaching aides when doing talks at schools, fairs, etc to promote urban bee keeping. Unfortunately I had to give up my hives a few years back because some punk kids came into my back yard (my back yard has a 6 foot stockade fence around it with gates) anyway the jumped the fence because I kept the gates locked and tipped over my 4 hives and as expected got the ever living 💩stung out of them. Anyway I got sued by two of the kids parents and I naturally counter sued as well as filing trespassing and destruction of property. The judge threw the law suites against me but I decided that as much as I wanted to keep my bees I just didn’t think I might get lucky the second time so I gave two hives to a new bee keeper and split the other two hives up into 4 nukes and sold them along with all my bee keeping stuff which honestly wasn’t much because I didn’t wear a bee suit and only a vale now and then because as a rule my bees were very gentle. The one hive was so gentle that you could open the top and just grab a handful of bee’s and never get stung unless I did something stupid. I surly miss them because I used to love setting a lawn chair next to a hive and smoke a cigar and enjoy a beer or three and just watch them being bees Brand new machine and a scratched up counterweight would have me rilled up like the Tasmanian devil. Cheese and Rice couldn’t they wait until you made the first payment before scratching it up.

[@TheRealMrDiGG]

sorry about your hives! video coming soon on the log

[@cozdiver]

So, how do you handle the equipment administration? Like do you have another company the owns and services all the equipment than then leases out the equipment to each company? Or something different, or prefer not to day?

[@TheRealMrDiGG]

Each company owns their own equipment for the most part. Looking at creating a separate LLC just for equipment, because its a cluster sometimes

[@cozdiver]

@@TheRealMrDiGG I used to own multiple affiliated companies before, and that is what we ended up doing. Had one LLC own and service all the equipment and loan/lease it back to the other companies. But I sold off all of them a while back and now just live off the lease of the IP's.

[@OUKRH5]

Hello :), I think Kobelco is first, they are Market leader in my area, mainly for fuel consumption an Lack of Repairs. Only dislike i have on Kobelco is that they dont are so easy to adjust for different task, compared to hitachi and liebherr, where every operator can adjust a lot of stuff himself, like more power on boom, or stick etc. Its nice to see the 20 to 25Ton class excavators with normal counterweight, this machines almost disappeared here for the short radius machines.

[@TheRealMrDiGG]

good info, thanks for sharing!

[@lastborn8s]

I don’t get how scuff liner is not standard coating for counter weights …the added weight of thick industrial coating is a bonus for a static location piece of equipment….Right?!

[@TheRealMrDiGG]

[@jaidenwilliams_450]

should make ur guys clean tracks with hand shovels not to big enough size to fit in tracks. at wake stone make ur clean tracks new or old. even the new drills clean track. see the rollers are slam packed with dirt soon as someone used it I mean it’s not hard to clean so should take care of equipment

[@TheRealMrDiGG]

good point

[@adrianking8538]

You look hot Ryan it must be that time off day for a cold one, ever thought off an old running but not road worthy tipper with a grab that can sit on the tipping floor and just pick up the large amounts off timber, then when full tip off at the mulch yard. It would save so much good timber just taking up air space when it has a practical use, making money
