How i MAKE MONEY SELLING DIRT...my topsoil business

[@winningRus]

I also sell topsoil. I went away from a square screen because they reject too much clumped soil as spoils. And harp screens because they break too easy. I went to a double set of finger screens with a 20mm final screen. It's a balance between creating fine soil and not creating too much spoilage. I always run with the mulcher(hammer mill) on because it breaks up the clumps of soils and can even bust rocks. I also screen my soil until it is literally just rock and sticks, this means running the spoils through at least 2 times.

Black Gold!!! Looks like a great operation you have there. I always like seeing guys who take pride in keeping their equipment clean and in good order. Shows they care about their operation, equipment and it doesn’t go unnoticed by customers.

[@digdrivediy]

You've got some sharp looking dump trucks! I like that you keep up on how everything looks. Nice operation you have there!

[@KenWhiteConstruction]

Thanks! I try

[@zanedaugherty5564]

BLACK GOLD. Did learn a lot. Considering doing something similar down in Northeast Texas just different materials. Looks like you keep your stuff clean... being a diesel mechanic for 15 years I can appreciate that effort. Well done.

[@sisutrucks]

Black gold we have called asphalt, as the coop have made good money hauling it over the years, but new times. Little man are not meant to make a profit anymore. Only the big companies.

[@325LTD]

All of your equipment looks very respected (clean). Do you all own all of your equipment or is some leased/rented from your local dealers? Impressive operation my man!

[@philipm3173]

Nah, I like a older guy with a beat to shit truck that's an absolute workhouse and expert in the true sense of the word. Don't trust anyone that's gotten rich in construction they're a crook.

[@Jake-vc1jd]

@@philipm3173 stupidest thing I've ever heard

[@bvfdfire1]

I love watching you make that BLACK GOLD!!!!!!!! Seriously, I'm pretty much condemned to staying in here at home except for my daily trips for the cancer treatments! So I try and watch ALL your new stuff! and go back and watch your older stuff when I don't crash....... And YES, I'm always trying to keep a POSITIVE attitude, I'm gonna beat the cancer, and we as a people gonna beat the d$%n RONA virus........... I gonna be hitting your merch store shortly! Stay safe!!!!

[@Russ-od2yy]

I was in the soil buisness for almost 5 years, it can be fun. We did a lot more greenwaste and manure though for our soil to hit certain specs for mostly commercial jobs but did some topsoil like this. Our setups were a Doppstadt SM720 and McKloskey 80 ft stacker. I enjoyed that job, miss it sometimes.

[@matttom94]

BLACK GOLD!!! You say buying another 60ft stacker for tailings, strive for greatness build bigger piles and make more topsoil! Buy an 80ft stacker and use your existing 60ft for tailings 😎😎 Love the energy and I can feel the excitement in your dirt. All the way from Australia!

[@KenWhiteConstruction]

That’s awesome, thanks for that. Ya I honestly love making dirt

[@zipporahungalaq8045]

BLACK GOLD. keep them clean, and looking good. Well done.

[@adamp9348]

We've got the dual stacker setup on our Mark-II powerscreen. Basically the baby version of your Commander. 100% agree it will make your operation SO much more efficient.

[@Dirtlifer]

[@davelariviere682]

Now that is a reliable Wheel Loader! Great model.

[@bruceblais7958]

So true it's black gold Canadian tea have a good weekend.

[@kenbirkin7753]

Nice layout, i blended soils near Vancouver BC for 18 years, always trying to better the material, I rented big Mclousky trommel for sticky peat, even added 0.05 % land clearing ash.and 46-0-0 and good compost,, people will pay more for a quality product but can be difficult, , most don't know squat about what grass and plants need, My downfall was fuel and the cost of trucking, everything was trucked in from elsewhere , just the ferry fare for the compost end dump ( 50 yards ) was $ 1000. always good to do proper lab soil testing too, helps with credibility i managed to get speced on commercial jobs, - hospitals, schools

[@mitchellg3893]

cubic yards?

[@jcslawntips]

Awesome video! Love seeing that black gold being made. I hope to do the same one day. Keep the great videos coming man!

[@avenheavner108]

What’s up man great video as always loved it! Stay safe and keep on operating! Have a great day and stay safe!

[@KenWhiteConstruction]

Thanks! You too!

[@avenheavner108]

Thanks!

[@briangardiner1015]

I have seen people dig a hole and the reject falls in the hole and can't back up onto your stacker. They just use the loader and build a ramp and the loader driven in it to scoop up the reject. The hole is only 3 or 4 feet deep. Someting to consider.

[@KenWhiteConstruction]

Funny you say that, we started doing that Friday haha

[@charlesbrown8395]

Where u been u just now came up on my subscriptions

[@KenWhiteConstruction]

I’ve been around! KZbin hasn’t been pushing the videos since this pandemic. Glad it reached you now!

[@MikeDTV]

I worked at a gravel crushing job last year in Alberta but it was at a larger scale with 2 big screen decks 1 with 2 tiers of screens and one with 3 and we could do a split for dirt so seeing just a dirt screening process is cool

[@roballen-ez8uw]

Black Gold....Ken is just doing a make work project knocking over the pole til 1/2 loads are off lol also no side unloading today or that a been there done that kinda thing now lol. Cheers eh!

[@KenWhiteConstruction]

Haha it is what he’s doing lol

[@muskokapropertycare261]

Very cool seeing what goes into making that “black gold” still catching up on vids

[@MrJamesIreland]

I feel ya Kenny. I just ordered a backup cam setup for my skid steer (CTL). I ran over one of my sonotubes about 15 minutes after pouring it last Tuesday. Had to play sandcastle with the concrete and get er all back setup. Not my finest hour.

[@KenWhiteConstruction]

Haha we all had a good laugh, he took care of replacing it so it is all good!

[@shawnsmith4463]

black gold! Another great video hope everyone is doing great and b safe

[@KenWhiteConstruction]

You as well Shawn

[@markellison9590]

Black Gold !! Who are you selling to big contractors or residential clients looking for a yard bulk bag ??

[@KenWhiteConstruction]

I find my place in the market in bulk orders. Larger quantities

[@TillingsExcavation]

Hey Taylor, have you considered getting a second bucket for that Excavator? You could mostlikly get a bucket that's 2x the size of that hydraulic bucket. Those hydraulic buckets are really heavy & the pins and bushings wear out fast.

[@KenWhiteConstruction]

That bucket is handy for our septics and larger jobs. The shovel leaves the yard in summer and never comes back, just using it now cause it’s handy. Also, that is an oversized bucket already, wouldn’t want any larger or I would need a new counterweight

[@adambubacz8058]

“BLACK GOLD” Looks great!!!

[@cbalano]

Absolutely Black Gold! Too bad you guys are not in the Toronto area.

[@stoparret]

6:49 - What's the purpose of dropping soil from a height like this? Seen it done by someone receiving clean fill and don't understand why. Also, what do you do with tailings? Thanks

[@truckingswe]

If we stack topsoil higher then 2m the pile burns inside and the soil is black inside the pile and the gras won't grow in that soil. When we screen we stack it beside whit a loader in 2m high strings.

[@KenWhiteConstruction]

Interesting. I’ve never ran into that problem, that’s unique

[@truckingswe]

@@KenWhiteConstruction no the pressur makes the soil burn inside, We do mix in peat or peaty in the soil like 1 in 8soil and 1 sand 1 horse-muck and 1/2 asch

[@dankdouglas2306]

How much you charge for a truck load of top soil I’m from South Carolina and I have DumpTruck and topsoil sells a I have to learn about screening and having good soil

I appreciate that you use the engine brakes how they should be. Jamaicans, especially use engine brakes even when they are upshifting as a style or to say that they can drive or shift through the gears. RUBBISH!!! these equipments are not something to toy with and not because it's a truck means you can handle it any way you want to one out of two things will happen. You break it or it kills you simple as that.

Just so ya know. I thank with them kinda washing units, when you rinse, your pose to work from the bottom up man.

[@mikethorntonr1]

Just upgrade and get a tromel screener then just sit in one spot with an excavator save more fuel and then the excavator can keep the tailings cleaned out with another stacker needed

[@SimplyTitanTV]

Black Gold. I'm in Canada as well and if I wanted to get into this line of work what would you recommend I do to learn. Should I take a coarse or just try to find someone to hire and train me? Thanks :)
