Easy Jobs Too Start A Excavation Business

[@LANDSCAPING-jt2bs]

a good investment you can make is in your pickup bed you can add a diesel tank in the back so you can refill your equipment

[@dirtworktv]

I definitely agree

[@fighter7029]

Is there any videos out there that would help with pricing and how to get more leads/get in front of homeowners and contractors?

[@dirtworktv]

That’s a good idea. I will make one all about that tonight.

[@Dirtlifeforkids]

These are good ideas Thanks for the info

[@dirtworktv]

👌🏽👌🏽

[@shaneross7428]

You're amazing. Awesome channel.

[@dirtworktv]

Thank you really appreciate the positive feedback

[@tysh3780]

Very informative! I bought a brand new mini for side jobs in the spring, could you make a video explaining different sizes of equipment and what they can handle? I bought a 1.5 ton, very small but I plan on growing from that. I live in Ohio and I know how winters can be, what jobs do you cover for harsh winter months?

[@dirtworktv]

Yeah for sure I’ll definitely come up with something

[@tysh3780]

@@dirtworktv love the videos and work man! God bless

[@dirtworktv]

@tysh3780 thank you sir I appreciate it

[@cn9936]

Great motivation! I’m contemplating starting with a Kubota skid steer, what’s your thoughts on putting it to work on an existing company? Since I have a full time career but want to go on my own and make $$$$

[@dirtworktv]

Yeah, that’s not a bad idea as long as it pays for itself plus more

[@spacepanda7431]

Couple questions Do you have material delivered or do you pick it up? If you pick it up does that mean you have to make two trips, one for materials and the other for your skid? If you’re digging a basement for instance, where do you bring the extra dirt?

[@dirtworktv]

ya for most small to medium driveways haul my self and yes mutiple trips some times i just make sure to charge for delivery and hauling off site i try to find the nearest dump site or my shop

[@marcusbadger2001]

Hi, what size dump trailer? Which skidsteer do you recommend and why? Also, how do you transport your skidsteer? On a separate trailer? Thanks in advance! -Marcus from AZ

[@dirtworktv]

I have a tri axle goose neck dump rated for 21,000 lbs and a good size skid-steer to start with is around a bobcat T590 size or cat 259D and I don’t always transport separate while the times I just haul it in the Dump Trailer

[@JeffreySharpe-sw8qo]

Do you have a video detailing how and why you got into the excavation business?

[@dirtworktv]

I don’t yet but I’ll definitely work on that this week and get one out

[@Cody_Buck]

Thanks for the tips brother. Wanting to get started in this business. What size/make/model truck would you say is best for hauling a dump trailer and a mini excavator about the size of a cat 303?

[@dirtworktv]

Heck yeah man and I would say bigger the better minimum 2500 shoot for 3500 just to be safe. You always end up hauling more than you think you will lol.

[@Cody_Buck]

@@dirtworktv thanks man I appreciate it!

[@dirtworktv]

@codybuck1727 yes sir

[@aaronfitzpatrick5518]

U should do a video on how to calculate for materials !!

[@dirtworktv]

Yes sir I’ll keep that on the list

[@willkearns5055]

I only have a mini excavator, a flat car hauler and a half ton pick up , I can't get a skid steer at least for another year , any ideas

[@dirtworktv]

Just keep saving possibly look for a really cheap one that you can fix up maybe from auction or on Facebook marketplace or possibly try to big jobs a little high and maybe just rent one for custom jobs for the short term.

[@willkearns5055]

@@dirtworktv thx

[@dirtworktv]

@@willkearns5055 yes sir anytime in the beginning it’s always hard you just gotta keep pushing forward and be patient and work hard and provide good quality work

[@maximejussiaume5479]

How long it can take to get some clients and make a nought money to survive lol

[@dirtworktv]

Just depends on how well you get your name out there with social media and everything it’s a lot easier to find work nowadays

[@danielwaguespack4301]

I would like to start doing this it's the money to start

[@dirtworktv]

have you tried borrowing or possibly renting the equipment
