I've got a kubota kx057-4..with a 18 inch tooth bucket. For lot clearing and stump removal. I find that works well for handling tree removal. Otherwise I will use 36 inch tooth bucket. Plus a 4 foot grading bucket..When I'm dealing with tree's less than a foot in diameter. I use a ripper on the stumps.. Thanks for all the informative tips in your videos....

Another awesome job you’ve completed!!👍 As a maintenance man my boss wanted me to clear off a 1/2 acre hill for more rental apartments. She ordered a new Kubota U27-4 with a cab and heat, which I love but it’s on the small side. But hey, it beats a shovel! I use a 4’ steel beam to cut swales and with the beam cut out on top I can use the bucket teeth and thumb to swing the house to move and level material. Soon I’ll be putting in catch basins, pipe and culverts as well as building a road. When I get everything on grade she’s hiring a concrete company for the building foundations. Lots of work to get done. But I couldn’t do anything if it wasn’t for God. I’m glad I have a Christian boss, too!

In my pecious profession we had a smaller excavator (Bobcat e35i) that we had a 24" tooth bucket and a 36" smooth bucket. I found that if I couldnt cut with the big bucket I would switch to the tooth bucket and "rough in" what I needed then chase finish grade with the smooth face. And as far as load outs of loose material the smooth face was the only way to go. It would take 10 minutes to load 3 yards of material! Unfortunately we didn't have the tilt coupler but regardless I could rock that little excavator!

Got a TB235 and a tilt grading bucket. Still getting used to it. The geometry is a good bit different from the regular bucket but its a game changer for sure. My other favorite thing is a 10' I-Beam that I use as a grading beam. Just grab it with the thumb and plane things off till its as smooth as a pool table.

Like others, you randomly popped up when I was looking at grading/gravel work examples on YT, and BOOM!.... I watched a bunch and quickly subscribed. You are very good for us beginners ;) I wish I had the money to afford an excavator like that, but alas, I'm stuck with a Deere 1025R with a box blade, tiller, rake and other attachments. That parking area came out GREAT! I'm doing a culvert for the swail in the road leading to the property, then a gravel driveway and also a parking area down here in South Florida in the next few weeks. I don't have as much slope, in fact, it is almost completely flat, but have very sandy soil..... I'm curious, what fabric do you put down? Also, would you recommend asphalt tilling? Thanks! Keep the videos coming.

@RiverValleyLandscaping3 жыл бұрын
In one of his videos he broke it down and the cost was less to have it delivered because the jobs distance from the quarry, my personal opinion is having a couple easy days mixed in to the week of just hauling material is a nice change of pace and you can also dump it how/where you want it... need to own the truck to haul the equipment anyway so might as well get some use out of it and keep all the funds in your own pockets during the slow season
