Expanding my Gravel Driveway

[@garonking]

14:50 around the mailbox, dude’s a gd surgeon with that articulating bucket🤌

[@the1andthe269]

Love watching my man work his machines!

[@aaronburford5701]

Love it! Content and channel is the best. Liked and subscribed!

[@Frost212]

Finally get to see some more E50 action!

[@CarlsonSonLandscapingLLC]

Yep! I have done a bunch of random jobs with it that I just didn't have the time to record near end of season. Hopefully more time to record this upcoming season!

[@ThriftyGarage]

13:45 We have found that is the BEST tool to attach the PowerTilt!

[@SubculturalMoKa]

pretty cool video, surprised it doesnt have more views... keep up the good work!

[@jaybrek7589]

Cool video. Great angles and content. Love all of the timelapse stuff you do as well. Have you ever run a Kubota SVL 75-3? Thats what I'm using right now and its a really nice machine.

[@rubioatl7883]

Moving the head stone of the driveway was a good idea bcos it look like a cemetery 😅 nice video sir

[@kubota33]

Great video I think you need to give your excavator more throttle. Sounds like you are running it on idle. You have nice machines :)

[@CarlsonSonLandscapingLLC]

Thanks! I generally run it around ~1800 rpm, so its around 2/3s throttle most of the time. Just how that Doosan engine sounds.

[@pirrehansen]

hi! i stumble in here and its nice to see u in action, u got a sweet touch working! have u ever consider make the investment of a tilt-rotor attachment, im from sweden and here its just odd to see a machine whitout one, but our way to work is inline what they are make for.

[@way22good1]

Great Video, What brand of tilt bucket system are you using on your mini x?

[@ToddSwartwood]

their are a few tricks to digging in rocky area like you are doing there to be a little more efficient as well as being easier on your machines.

[@JustMeB729]

Why was smoke coming out of the ground as you were digging?

[@envyaa12]

Need to move those propane tanks, they make me nervous on the driveway like that.

[@fishnfix2432]

Do you still use your Kubota Bx23s for small contract work now that you upgraded to the tracked loader? I own the E35 and just replace my mid sized tractor for a T770, but have an opportunity for a Kubota Bx23s. In your opinion is it useful to own for access in tight areas and backyard landscaping?

[@CarlsonSonLandscapingLLC]

Yeah, I still use the bx23s for a variety of small jobs that would just be overkill or non accessible for a tracked machine (skidsteer or excavator platform). Nice to have the light weight wheeled machine that doesn't turf or damage lawns.

[@dougdinsmore9751]

Great video and narrative, although it took me a couple days to watch the entire thing. Gotta say one thing though, you live on one big rock pile, jeez!

[@RandyJoyce1960]

What is that laser you use? Never seen one before? Awesome video. My wife and I both watch them.

[@CarlsonSonLandscapingLLC]

I didn't use a laser in this video, but I presume you are referring to the ZipLevel Altimeter (the yellow corded item). Thanks!

[@mikel9567]

If you're referring to the yellow corded item, it's called a zip level. They are pretty nice. We use them for working on stormwater systems where i'm at. They aren't as fast as a laser system but they are nice and accurate and far more cost effective than installing a laser system on your excavator or dozer. The ziplevel costs between $700-$1,000 depending on which model you get.

[@toddwall8160]

Do you ever tailgate spread with your dump trailer?

[@Fuckoff-1]

do it yourself

[@devinhalaburda7522]

Hey man, I love the combo! I have a landscape company and I’m debating what to do. I currently own a bx24 with the back hoe. I’m debating getting a l2501 with a hoe or getting a used bobcat e26 or a mini of that size. I do similar work to you. I have a job it’s spreading 120-150 yards of topsoil. I was thinking load the dump trailer with mini then tailgate spread it and use bx. What’s your thoughts? Bigger tlb or keep my bx and get a mini?

[@CarlsonSonLandscapingLLC]

Thanks! Yeah, thats a tough call. I think you would be better off going with a mini and keeping the bx. Gives you more job flexibility than getting a larger TLB that would now not fit in compact areas and not compete with a mini at all.

[@Rigoknow]

👍

[@AllanB-y7t]

Can you come to CT and do some work for me ?

[@raytalbot5890]

I know you don’t need to as you are doing this on your property but it may help us (the viewers) if you could spray or pre cut with a shovel or stretch a line along you proposed cut line?? 👍👍🇬🇧🇬🇧

[@dirtraptor3403]

Turn that throttle up man!

[@CarlsonSonLandscapingLLC]

I usually have it around 2/3s throttle (1800 rpm)

[@ToddSwartwood]

I was wondering if you have an desire to learn from an old man or are you happy with what you know already?

[@greggkuzila7513]

When you going to move your mailbox

[@daviddash2132]

Love these but..... you cut so much stone but I've never seen you wear a mask! You'll probably be coughing at night time? Please wear a mask to protect you from the dust and particles. 👍🏽

[@magausausa]

my question is how do you charge people, is it buy the hour or job and how much. just curious ?

[@CarlsonSonLandscapingLLC]

I bid by the job so that the total scope and cost is known to both parties (myself and the client) prior to starting. I find hourly work to be too variable and more often than not leaves either party dissatisfied.
