[@captainding]

Thanks!🚒 Coffee Fund :)

[@DIRT-BOSS]

Thanks so much!

[@mikeembrey9176]

Good job Boss 👍🏻🇺🇲

[@DIRT-BOSS]

Thanks 👍

[@captainding]

Thanks for the step by step. Always wondered how this is done..thanks!

[@sonnyblazer5504]

*SLICK* Notice at the start of the video, BOSS stretched the bucket OUT to warm it all up like stretching our body before hard work! Big help is the *ABILITY TO THINK* by planting you feet (or tracks) in the position most favorable for production rather than move the machine a bunch of times! Lots of *THOUGHT PROCESS* as *THE BOSS SHOWS US*

[@Clemexcavation]

Nice job 👍

[@DIRT-BOSS]

Thanks 👍

[@sonnyblazer5504]

I thought this 12:31 was *YOUR LADY* leaving before you said you got a delivery! Ya know, you work hard (now instructor) so it's really great that *SOMEONE SPECIAL has YOUR BACK* It don't get better than that! God bless you all!!!

[@sassafrasvalley1939]

Thanks for the tips Boss man. Even though my boom and stick combined are only 10 feet… the same rules apply. I just end up moving my baby backhoe more often. Now, all I need is a job with no rocks. Maybe then I can dig one that is pretty!

[@DIRT-BOSS]

Good stuff!

[@wingman8447]

Another great lesson. Easier digging than the last one but tough fighting Mother Nature. Good vid

[@karlmckinney8469]

Good video thank you for explaining everything 😮I was educated today

[@AWDJRforYouTube]

I can dig it Dirt Boss!

[@petermcdevitt8232]

Nice informative video!

[@donaldtrabeaux5235]

Awesome job DB, get it done

[@njonebale7889]

That’s how D-Boss! does it!…looks tight…got to love the farm field jobs!

[@DIRT-BOSS]

💪

[@Ned-p1y]

Back on site !

[@DIRT-BOSS]

You know it Ned! I tried getting Mico to help on this one you guys got him to busy!!

[@andymack5093]

Nice digging DB, nice earth, nice site, still think of you working on that mountain-side job a few years back - that would have to be up there in your top 10 for "pucker factor"!

[@Dirt_mountain-earthworks]

Thanks for sharing all your knowledge with us... the dig looks great but rain is ALWAYS probelems for dirt work👍

[@pjp80s]

Great video… I’m moving into my second career at 54…. from an office job to machine work. Picked up a couple Kubota minis.. do some pool digs etc. Watching you I can’t help to think of the possibility of a wall collapse when your machine sits right on the edge of the dig parallel to the hole. On my recent pool job, the ground was pure sand… scary!

[@DIRT-BOSS]

Got to know limitations

[@paulhicks4340]

Looks like some nice digging there Mike, wish I could be on a site like that one. Seems like we can only get boulder filled lots up in the North country. Great job as always!

[@maxobara1496]

Nice n nice!!💪 Great video Mike!! How is your back / legs doing? Hope all is going well!!🤗🇺🇸

[@DIRT-BOSS]

Left leg still screwed up got nerve damage pushing through it

[@austinavery4772]

New guys starting out... Really try this technique with the basic laser on boom setup.. I have a full laser and depth check both setup in my machine.. And i think its largely unneeded if you just get good with this basic way dirtboss is showing. I mean you gotta think can the expense be better in your pocket ?? Food for thought

DIRT BOSS AND HIS KO-BEL-CO-MATSU GETS THE JOB POLISHED.

[@DIRT-BOSS]

You know buddy

[@Notch8]

Great video. How fitting I am building a house and my foundation guy just dropped off excavator today for digging this week. I am worried about water when digging ours because we already had borings done because we knew about high perched water table and are only digging 5 feet down.

[@DIRT-BOSS]

Well you better show him 😆😆😆😆

[@Notch8]

@@DIRT-BOSS Good news it was dug and very little water... I am relieved. Guy had a Cat 329e.

[@papierskispropertyservices2532]

Clean site! Question about frost depth on garage? Wasnt sure if you have to dig to 42” for a footer on garage or 2 foot is good for garage foundation?

[@DIRT-BOSS]

4 foot backfill will be grade change

[@papierskispropertyservices2532]

@@DIRT-BOSS ahhh ok. I don’t know why i missed that. That makes sense now. I recall you mentioning 2 foot above with elevation change.

[@DirtBrute]

Concrete guys : 😂 yeah they bitch and complain about ever hole . Even when they tell me “it’s perfect but” 😂

[@DIRT-BOSS]

😂 exactly

[@StephenSchumacher-pb4fu]

Is this work with over x of a foot for foot trust for foundation to be poured and for the concrete workers.

[@StephenSchumacher-pb4fu]

Also the four foot OSHA safety way ever four foot step out

[@DIRT-BOSS]

@@StephenSchumacher-pb4fu No No Steven 5 ft or 1.5 meters on OSHA before bench back

[@StephenSchumacher-pb4fu]

@DIRT-BOSS four ft in UT

[@georgeenriquez612]

👍🏻

[@StephenSchumacher-pb4fu]

No need for dozer anymore. I would've done straight lines to cornor up edges up

[@StephenSchumacher-pb4fu]

Looks like valota clay in that

[@dirtguy6537]

Six days of rain you got a swimming pool.

[@DIRT-BOSS]

Yup

[@StephenSchumacher-pb4fu]

Hardly hear the beebs

[@buckzillakiller]

Do you see were Andrew Camarate lost a excavator to fire he didn't have a working fire extinguisher. Word to the wise. Be safe

[@DIRT-BOSS]

Yes I knew about it when it happened yeah that's sad! That tree mulching is no joke with these newer machines with the SCR they get way too hot

[@bnice5821]

Suspicious. If you really want to look with open eyes, it’s fishy. Fire extinguisher (like new, no dirt ) on the Kubota. He took time to set up the cameras. If it were my machine, screw the filming. He either doesn’t give a rats a$$ about anything he owns, or he set it up. New looking fire extinguishers with no sign of being in the elements and it doesn’t work? Why does he have one in that machine but not the newer machine? He tried to blow the fire out with his mouth. Give me a break. I’m one that doesn’t want to be suspicious of a guy like Andrew, but dam. It doesn’t add up. Maybe he’s taking a play from Whislin Diesel.

[@bnice5821]

I’m going to go back and see if that extinguisher was on the Kubota recently in past videos.

[@alittlebitofeverything5090]

You are going to have to start charging for all the tips !

[@StephenSchumacher-pb4fu]

Alot time wasted way youre digging

[@DIRT-BOSS]

@@StephenSchumacher-pb4fu Explain or show up Monday and jump in the seat

[@StephenSchumacher-pb4fu]

@DIRT-BOSS haha I'm in Montana

[@StephenSchumacher-pb4fu]

@DIRT-BOSS what we did was start on one side of the dig left our right usely we started on left work to the right half stretch boom then can get clear scrap for wall up and down even with a step out, then walk track hole back other left direction as digging we leave are hill no higher then five feet from dig out both sides of basement walks be done then the finish digging as you did pulling out the remaining and the eazy access point for workers to move in our OSHA says emergency personal to move in for extraction.

[@austinavery4772]

Dirt boss.. You put alot into this channel and provide a great family channel only to have youtube allow these sleazy ads about "my husbands tool gets so big and completely fills me up while he pounds me all night".. Ive left this same message on dirtperfect and others.. I know ad placemwnt is not up to you bit maybe alot of you guys could get together and tell youtube to knock it off. Its getting lame
