You 'are' a Laser Level Todd! Hey, any advice for a mindset when one starts 'fighting' a grade? Being new at a Tractor with a box blade I noticed there are some days I can jump on and find that sweet spot. The other day I fought myself to frustration moving and working way too much dirt to accomplish the task I was after. I'm just starting to get the feel of the Tractor tilt and rock and what effect that has on the box blade. Several passes things would be looking good only to destroy it all with one pass! Ha, Lol ! Thanks for sharing Trade Secrets, it makes it fun!

[@DaveJohnsonad5nm]

If I get frustrated on a project I stop and have a cup of coffee and think about the project. A box blade is a limited use implement but the more you use it the less limited it becomes. If I'm trying to level with one I find a. Screw with a couple fender washers and a wing nut is handy for setting the drop of the box blade. You may find a different approach works better for you.

[@snurb48]

@@DaveJohnsonad5nm Hey thanks for the input, it calms my nerves knowing I'm not the only one that has been frustrated moving a grade with a box blade. I only wish I knew what to do with the fender washers, screw and wingnut Dave? Happy Independence Day!

[@DaveJohnsonad5nm]

Your control lever for the 3 point hitch. Put a fender washer on the bolt, feed it from underneath add the second washer on top with the wing nut. You set the hight above ground to your level adjust the bolt and washers up to the control lever and tighten the wing nut. Every time you make a pass when you drop the box blade the handle will return to the same level.

[@Hammer.J.Helmer]

Todd, what is the name of the app you're using on the phone to measure the slope?

[@terryhayes7046]

Hey Todd,what’s the name of the app that you are using for the slope??

[@Romelandservices]

Can I come work with you? I would love to learn how to do what you are doing

[@jessiesoto377]

What app are you using for grade on your phone, thanks

[@michaelkoon8371]

Doin a fine job my friend

[@DigginLife21]

Thanks Michael!!!

[@danielmilliken1684]

I might have missed it, but do you discuss drainage where the road is cut deeper than the sides?

[@DaveJohnsonad5nm]

Slope the high sides and cut the drainage at the bottom of the slope.

[@EliDeGrave]

Nice work!

[@DigginLife21]

Thanks for the visit

[@theurbanindependent]

What would you all recommend s the best dozer and excavator size to purchase starting out and Dump truck or dump trailer? Thx Looking to do site prep, clearing, small ponds, and possibly starting bidding on trenching for piping and laying fiber for small subdivisions. Thx

[@DigginLife21]

Checkout tristar diggin channel. He has a next gen d5 cat dozer and a 313 cat excavator.

[@joecummins59]

Hey Todd just bought me a 16000 pound excavator what would be the best way to find work I'm not far from you I'm in the chimney rock lake lure area thanks again Love your videos

[@joecummins59]

Also have new holland ls170 and t190 bobcat

[@mikewelch3989]

Looks good Todd. I have a question, what size bucket are you running on their? I have a CAT 306 and my 2ft tooth bucket is just not great for moving massive amounts of dirt.

[@BENNHENDRICKS33]

I’m more surprised at how Little Rock you have there. Here in TN you can be busting rock for quite awhile.

[@michaelkoon8371]

Lookin good todd

[@DigginLife21]

Thanks brother

[@charlesmaxey9165]

Where is the 1st one?

[@fivestring4653]

Todd , I want to come up there and work with you man . 100 % serious man

[@DaveJohnsonad5nm]

A little snow on that and no one going anywhere.

[@thepressurepack3777]

Washed out, yet ?

[@brianmcmahon8524]

I have heard that the mini excavator s are a lot more dangerous than the bigger ones. I could see that.

[@DigginLife21]

Easier to tip over for sure

[@DigginLife21]

👏👏👏🙏🏻

[@alfredpedneau9598]

Get Her DONE !!!

[@brianmcmahon8524]

Elevations are deceiving. Easy to make big mistakes. 😮

[@DigginLife21]

You got that right

[@fatwormsfarm]

Do you collect a deposit for your work to offset some of your upfront costs during these projects?
