Cat 312E Digging In Hard Ground

[@MrDugbo171]

Rents machine with tooth bucket, returns it with smooth bucket. That kind of ground is tough on equipment. I know this first hand!

[@slyrooster1241]

You need to dig in San Antonio and Austin Tx area. 6"-8" of topsoil, then BAM 40' of limestone and granite. We have to use giant rock saws and sometimes explosives before we get our excavators to work. Neat video!

slyrooster1241 I'm glad I don't have to deal with that grey limestone anymore. Still find regular white limestone in Dallas though.

[@joehussey2693]

Looks like New England for sure, you feel it after that day!

[@Drew6709]

Looks exactly like digging in some places in Oregon too. Especially the thunder head in the foreground.

[@humanoverlord6708]

Where is that screener with grizzly bars when you need it. Wall stone for sale by the truckload.

[@timberridgehomestead]

Glad my land is more clay then rock after watching this.

[@andrewasbra5996]

you would need a larger machine like a cat 330b to do this job

[@hicktownpa1233]

are you gonna buy anew excavator in the near future or later

[@zacbrown650]

Looks like good ole TN. Nothing but rock, get the hammer and tooth bucket and get to work.

[@jifi-0178]

Nice um ... "soil". Definitely a former rock quarry. ;-)

[@geo_walters]

Id get a 316 if I was to get another machine

[@rude252]

[@DirtNinja]

[@davidknows3320]

Maybe a 345 would have been in order? Lol

[@mr193193193]

[@87mitchb]
