Maybe The Coolest Thing I've Ever Bought!

[@aaronburford5701]

Hey Neil! Thanks for the shout out sir! A very pleasant and surprise this morning. Totally unexpected snd appreciated. Thanks again!

[@digdrivediy]

Well thanks for all the comments and rewatches Aaron! When I was grading I was imagining you watching so I just said Hi! 😂

[@lisaleeper9399]

Great video! Awesome piece of equipment, I think Jack wants his drive done next! Can’t wait for the next one.

[@digdrivediy]

@@lisaleeper9399 Thanks as always Lisa! And I think you're right 👍🏻

[@Eaf0714]

My yard needs done sometime when you get the chance. Wink wink. And I think that guy was right, those buckets will sell themselves because now I want one. Anyways, thanks for the great content once again this week. Have a safe week and God bless

[@shepgre]

Just imagine that JD grey dump truck with its 5 tones of JD yellow retro striped down it's side all sitting next to your JD yellow skid steer with grey attachments. Oh my!! Love the content my friend!

[@RockhillfarmYT]

Awesome bucket. Cool to see my video clip in there Thanks

[@digdrivediy]

Hey Brock. Thanks for checking out the video!

[@merrymanrc]

Your brother will be happy and I know what your dad talking about about the old teller I use to have a sear rotor teller

[@JeffGlaser]

Nice job. Love your dad's comment "can't wait until you try this on my drive"

[@digdrivediy]

Ha! Driveway transformations incoming!

[@The-truth-is-valuable.]

Sure is one way to think: Dad, it is one small way how I can repay all those years you looked after me...

[@ArmoredXJ]

😂 me too lol!

[@DonDomel]

Super cool video! Very impressing. GREETINGS FROM 🇵🇱 Poland 🎉

[@ChickenScrape]

Nice video and great work! That bucket works awesome. I always roll my drive after regrading it every spring. I use a homemade roller made out of an old 500 gal propane tank filled with water.

[@br549rdr]

You are so blessed. It’s so neat having all your family living around each other. Beautiful land. Gods beautiful creation. 🙏🏻😇

[@nanoresmith2697]

Indeed... Stronger together 🙏 Family Forever ❤

[@KingsOutdoorLife]

Great video! The feeling when you get the right tool for the job and it cuts down on your time & effort is priceless! I just got my first 4 way bucket last year and it is like a pocket on a shirt - Handy!

[@digdrivediy]

I'd love a 4 way bucket too!

[@portersadventures]

I would give everything I have for one more day with my dad doing projects...... you are a lucky man......

[@TheBroStead]

So true

[@digdrivediy]

Yes indeed.

[@ronroth9112]

Love your channel Neil! I was so inspired with this video I called Joe and ordered my 78" Hydra Bucket...... I will be picking it up directly from the factory as I live in Nebraska. I told him the only reason I called him is because of your channel

[@digdrivediy]

Oh man, that's great! Thanks for letting me know that too. I am loving this thing so far. I have used it in the dirt since posting this video and it is amazing how you can break down clods and prep for final grading. I hope that you enjoy it.

[@tylerdaavettila5148]

Neil, I can see you painting the backhoe next after that Skid turned out so great.

[@digdrivediy]

The thought has crossed my mind.

[@markh178]

It's cool to see how excited Neil gets over a finely finished driveway. 😊

[@hollandduck79]

Hello from the Netherlands. thanks for the video Neil . Kind regards, Hollandduck

[@hugokerherve]

Love your channel Neil, especially how you weave your family into it. Dad is awesome, love him 👍

[@digdrivediy]

Thanks so much

[@casycasy5199]

that bucket worked great.and the paint job was the right call it looks amazing, much better then that green

[@digdrivediy]

Thanks as always!

[@DeaganZ3488]

Awesome job!

[@ryanmcknight4580]

Wow, what a great looking fleet! Can’t wait to see the dump truck!!!!

[@digdrivediy]

You and me both!

[@richardmain8059]

Good morning Neil, Congratulations to your Brother’s Family on their New Addition another Grand Baby for your Parents. Love how close knit your family is with all the homesteads close by if I understand stand it correctly. That new attachment is fitting you like a glove and I can see only Value Added Contributions to your smile factor in the future. Your equipment is looking sharp and shows your Professional Influence and dedication to the work that you do. 😀👍👍👍

[@theeapco]

Great new tool! Love their tag line. Made Here…Made Better! 🇺🇸

[@andyb4627]

Paint job is amazing. Nice work!

[@Mrbink01]

I'd never seen one of these before. Very neat for this application, though it seems limited compared to a more traditional power rake.

[@earlyriser8998]

Nice tool. I think of it as a power rake but built into a bucket frame. And the bucket can add weight to help you dig. Nice.

[@m2hmghb]

Always a good idea to work on family's stuff before doing it for pay (even for trade) while you're figuring out the quirks of the new equipment. Congrats to your brother and your sister in law on the new daughter! As long as she's healthy who cares about anything else? I'm sure you and your wife are going to do your duties to spoil her! Take it easy Neil, be healthy and safe.

[@stephenjones8735]

Your Dad took the word right out my mouth "SWEET" .

[@JimFinlayson]

That looks like an awesome new side hustle.

[@digdrivediy]

That's what I was thinking!

[@ArmoredXJ]

Total score on the bucket rake combo as a finish tool! Even with out being able to adjust the pitch left/right for fine grade I know - and have seen - operators that can work magic to get the grade they need. As I am sure you already saw that pulverizer drum will knock down and mix it up and then the bucket to cut/fill material. Now I want one for the JD tractor at the farm.

[@digdrivediy]

That would be sweet!

[@Mr_Timi1]

You are the Batman of dirt and gravel work.... to quote the Joker, "where does he get all those wonderful toys?" Happy Sunday everyone.

[@davidmayotte1542]

I’ve used this same quote with Neil before.

[@BFT88]

I love the bucket Neil! It made quick work of that driveway and you knocked it out of the park!

[@TheBroStead]

I like the videos with Dad. I agree you should keep your committment on the 6 acre project but don't forget dad's driveway!!

[@digdrivediy]

I'll remember! 😉

[@itwasrightthere]

Congratulations on the addition to your family. I hope your brother, sister-in-law are doing well with there new little girl.

[@catgynt9148]

Great looking fleet of little yellow tools. Perhaps you could paint the same yellow on your truck, either as a overall color or at least one of the stripes. Considering the circular YT channel logo your stripes could be the yellow, green white of the logo. Additionally, custom 3-color decals could be applied to all of your equipment as a company emblem. Wishing you and your family a blessed autumn season filled with gentle seasonally appropriate weather and restful evenings together. Peace brother

[@nathannewbold1171]

Hands down one of my favorite pass times is watching your videos, even my kids are starting to love your videos. Thank you for being a great content creator Neil!

[@ciardude4822]

That’s a pretty sweet lineup of toys you have there Neil! Reminds me of my Tonka days!!! Keep on digging! 👌

[@sixstring7855]

While my buddies are watching football on Sundays, I am in my shed watching my favorite show… DDD! Keep up the great entertainment Neil! I’m now picky about my driveways too.

[@Scagman615]

That’s an awesome bucket! I never knew those were a thing. I love how your driveway looks. I have a gravel drive and I struggle keeping the weeds and shape lines. I need to invest in a Bruno and box, just can’t find worth fixing.

[@illianaattachments5025]

Great video Neil... Thanks

[@digdrivediy]

Hey thanks for the bucket Joe!

[@mrfarmall-vk4gw]

Always fun to watch!👍👍

[@patrickhennessey5221]

Hi Neil I love the new bucket / rake attachment looks good with skid loaders new paint job.. You did a great job on your brothers driveway .

[@digdrivediy]

Thanks 👍

[@vaughnwittmaack439]

I think I might be the only teen that watches you, but man. I love watching these!...Especially the longer videos!

[@digdrivediy]

Hey thanks a lot! I hope you're not the only one though! :)

[@crossrailroads1658]

18, and about to be 19 on Monday. Is that still considered a teen? Haha.

[@lilijean]

Your drone shots give me joy. Also, your dad is a gem ❤ thanks for these videos!

[@terryrogers1025]

I like the bucket, it appears to work very well. The paint job on the skid loader makes it look like family instead of an orphan. Nice job sir, drive way looks awesome, I like the driveway reconditioning projects myself, thanks for the update, enjoyed watching.

[@Iko0025]

Pleasantly enjoyable - watching a guy clean a drive way - who knew❤👍🇨🇦

[@ddk10701]

After seeing your father in your videos it is easy to see why you are so likeable. Great back to family channel, Thank You!

[@sassafrasvalley1939]

Neil… I like it! Those carbide nubs are perfect for pulverizing clumps and clods. I can hardly wait to see how they work in dirt and grass. You didn’t show it but, there is a feature of that design which could real make it superior to a Harley rake. Having the front edge of the blade with you on each pass allows one step leveling. Going forward, you can shave off mounds. Reverse gives you the ability to do my favorite leveling technique… back dragging. I think that as you get into rougher areas, on future jobs, you’ll find the same. Congrats on your acquisition. I hope it continues to meet your expectations.

[@digdrivediy]

Indeed! I have a lot to learn on this thing. I did get to use it a bit in the dirt yesterday and it is a game changer for clumps and clods. I'm really trying to learn and understand how to use it in forward vs reverse. But what a cool piece of engineering and a great way to have the best of both a power take and a bucket in one! I'm sure we'll get to see the dirt features on display soon enough! Thanks as always and have a great week Dave!

[@Cambridgeshire-m1x]

To get a driveway looking so smooth is like an art form . It's very satisfying to watch

[@digdrivediy]

It's satisfying to do as well!

[@happyrocklawncareandsnowre2141]

Those hydro buckets riley do a nice job. I hoping to have my John deere 332 diesel garden tractor looking at good as your 318 someday, although mine will be green. Lol

[@rozmoran1840]

The paint job is great and your new implement on the skid is WOW

[@timtaulu9914]

It is great that you are still able to work with you dad on your projects It is a blessing

[@shepgre]

Imagine that newly painted JD grey dumptruck with its 5 tones of JD yellow retro striped down its side sitting next to its family of JD yellow tractors with grey attachments. Oh my!! Love all the content.

[@thommoss899]

I love this channel; the content, the family values, the good faith/bartering, and even the comments from everyone. You're a good, hardworking dude, Neil! I'm glad you're getting all the positivity and growth in your life.

[@Cheese_Piedogi]

Another great Video as always Neil. I enjoy watching each and every one. I also worked side by side with my Dad in our business and home, he passed 2 years ago. I miss him everyday. I love seeing you and your Dad working together. ❤❤❤

[@joeclaymore]

Have an asphalt driveway up here in New England and after watching all these videos I think I want to rip it up and put in a gravel driveway, just to convince my wife I need a skid steer and this attachment. Love the weekly videos!

[@Live2ride2live54321]

🤣🤣🤣

[@joebradley7595]

It's better to ask for forgiveness rather than permission

[@digdrivediy]

Ha! Man, I'd love some asphalt though.

[@765Guys]

That bucket is sweet! I love using Harley rakes to level new yards. Definitely my go to attachment.

[@rdyardie]

You have the proper tool(s) to get the job done right. That rotating roller is a wonderful tool. Thanks for sharing it with us.

[@jjffarmsjoshuaflees911]

Always looking forward to sunday, want to thank you for always motivating me to keep on keeping on... iv watched your videos for a while but rarley comment... much appreciated!

[@toddincabo]

👍 Mama got her patio/pond furniture and Daddy got his attachment....all good.

[@lisaharvey4373]

That's the coolest bucket ever Neil great purchase and WOW what a awesome job it does you won't be sorry!!!

[@pastormike5054]

Good to see your dad with you on the job. Good job dad👍

[@RaaaaaaandyRC]

We just had our 4th baby on Sept 5th! Congrats to them!

[@marykoch5168]

Congrats to your family as well. There's nothing like snuggling a newborn baby! Grandma can't get enough of her!

[@joebacarella2829]

Niel, good call, it`s not a one trick pony, you also have the bucket, it sure brought the rock back up to the surface, congrats to your brother and family, be well my friend.

[@shanesherwood343]

Man that bucket makes a big job easy to bad they don’t make one for tractors I would consider buying one

[@walterglomp1035]

I was a groundskeeper at a high school for 34 years. I wish I could have had this new and improved implement Outstanding job!

[@spencerhalupinck94]

Neil, glad you painted the skid loader looks so much better!

[@toddpacheco4748]

Neil,a smooth driveway for the newborn baby who will enjoy the ride to the house 🏡 😮😊❤👍

[@griffoutdoortv5882]

The skiddy looks much better yellow worth the effort and cool to see the bucket in action I’ve heard about them but never really looked into them

[@colinkulukhon-lincoln959]

Hey there's that money shot on the line-up. Nice work on your brother's yard. Nice to see ya get a Lil pep in your step and truly get excited about something. I so glad I found your channel, your style and subject are always great.

[@weslangston1034]

Nice work Neil!! The skid loader looks great after the paint job!! Man I wish I had a brother like you to come freshen up my driveway!!

[@courtcoleman1194]

Love all your videos neil, and the collection of the yellow tractors looks amazing sitting together

[@tebohomnguni7261]

Congratulations to your brother and his wife .

[@drumphil21]

Wow! That new grinding bucket works great! I love how it cuts straight lines right out of the box. 11:40 Fantastic! I also love the matching color of your equipment at the end. Little things like that make me happy. Thanks Neil.

[@coltonkruse2313]

Wow that thing is really nice. Can't believe how well it worked that drive way.

[@greggcarlson9823]

Great looking driveway!

[@waynedieken149]

Illinana attachments is a great company to work with! We’ve bought multiple attachments from Joe, we bought a hydra rake from him last year and we absolutely love it

[@digdrivediy]

Sweet!

[@Tdale85]

Nice job Neil!! That’s a labor of love For your new niece. Congrats!

[@AlexeiTetenov]

Thank you for sharing!

[@dizzystick9]

Great new toy! I can relate to getting a new tool and not having the opportunity to use it right away so you have to go looking for something, anything to test it on. 😅

[@ischmidt]

Haha! I totally get "I have a new toy and I need to try it NOW". The before/after on that driveway was way more dramatic than I was expecting. The hydro-bucket and grader box looks like a fantastic combo for gravel driveway maintenance. Your dad's a riot as always, and you should definitely make it a video when you do his driveway.

[@samsmederovac9672]

The shot where you graded over the camera was rad.👍🏻

[@digdrivediy]

Thanks 👍🏻

[@152brm]

Never miss a video. Have seen all of them (from East Tennessee). You and your family are in my prayers.

[@digdrivediy]

I appreciate that!

[@paulatkinson2849]

I watch all ur vids and the results u come up with are great

[@daviddial7010]

The final display is something to be proud of. Your new niece won’t need four wheel drive in her Barbi car.

[@rafburke7828]

Love the drive-through shot

[@mymonkey10]

Wow... that did a great job edging the driveway, too... I was actually surprised at how fluffed it got as those "nubs" didn't look that big to get deep enough... the driveway looks dramatically different... nice new toy purchase!!! Your father is adorable... and congrats on the new baby girl addition to the family!!! Stupid question... could you set those weeds ablaze on the top soil to get rid of them??? 😂😂😂

[@diggerwayne]

Today's thumbnail with all the John Deere yellow tractors was pretty sweet. They're looking good.

[@TheHobbyShop1]

That bucket is the ticket. Nicely done!👊🏼

[@ajlivinthedream]

Nice job and that bucket is amazing. So glad your leg is better. I to have had some serious leg injuries. Not fun

[@gordonbrown6616]

I have followed your channel for several years it is really neat how far you have come from a garden tractor and grader box. Thanks for staring

[@digdrivediy]

Thanks so much. Hard to give up that grader box though!

[@see1450]

Neil's early Christmas, new attachment and new pants. Life is good

[@glennspreeman1634]

Awesome drone footage!

[@lbyoung8420]

I get more satisfaction out of these grading videos than I care to admit. Nice work.

[@BG-vq9fd]

Great shot of the trio. Skid loader looks so much better.

[@TimothysTractors]

After seeing that thumbnail and the clip at the end I can't stop thinking about how great your F750 would look in JD construction yellow for the cab with a gray bed! It would match the rest of your equipment so well! I do think it's kinda cheesy sometimes when you see non John Deere mowers or golf carts painted Green and yellow but you've already painted your 318 a color other than the original so it feels like your color to me!

[@ArmoredXJ]

This may just be a simpletons understanding from life experience….. A dealer can beat things like that because it’s all about customer service and sales. A dealers volume means they can get better that MSRP so that they gain the profit margin. The more they sell, the better a deal they can get, the more money they can make. A good sales person that really cares about customers will extended as much of that deal as possible. A good sales person can also assess when a possible loss on one sale can mean more dollars on future sales. Take care of your customers, be honest, and give them the best deal possible will always bring customers back and bring in more customers. I have also found that folks in construction/Ag equipment sales and rentals really understand this (genuine care and quality customer service) far better than anyone else.

[@localcrew]

That new spinny spinny bucket is LIT!

[@theeapco]

Nothing beats a new tool! Looks great!

[@darcyscott2406]

Thanks Neil have a good week. From northwestern Vermont.

[@markbrown9838]

Great job on your brother's driveway Neil. It looks great. It looks like it has loads of new stone on it. That new bucket was a great investment. Looking forward to how it does on that 6 acre job. That's looking good also.

[@digdrivediy]

Thanks a bunch!

[@seen48]

Because the lawn started growing on the edges, the driveway looks so much wider. Great job. Neil, your editing and camera work is top shelf. You can definitely tell you put time into it.

[@briancarpenter8297]

Cool new toy Neil! Your Deere fleet looks really nice! I enjoy all your grading videos, I tried out your swirl technique with my 3pt box blade on my buddy's driveway and it worked awesome! Looking forward to seeing the big yard project get finished up and seeing the new paint job on your dump truck too.

[@jasonmaxfield6y312]

Great video Neil. That new bucket looks like a real timesaver.
