No More Building... We Are Changing Professions!

[@thecakemanb5581]

My best friend and I rented an excavator for a week . It cost under $2000. We removed over 200 stumps. Then built a 40 x 60 shop following RR Building techniques. We are having a blast. We are in our 60’s. Thanks guys.

[@psidvicious]

I bet a monthly rental isn’t that much more.

[@RRBuildings]

That's great!

[@30minutesLess]

@@psidviciousIt's not. Many new construction guys do that on big government jobs until they buy their own.

[@michaelmactavish4445]

When it comes to equipment, we are all just big kids honestly.

[@SethWooten]

YES there’s nothing I like doing better then driving a excavator.

[@sleepy_143]

It's hilarious to see you two so excited about playing in the dirt.

[@TheDrew2022]

Had to double check the date, make sure this wasn't an old video from Apr 1 that showed up on my feed. Excited that you guys are branching out and diversifying but same time, the builds were what drew me to your channel. Really hope the builds keep coming as I enjoy watching you guys and you've inspired me to try new things on my shop build (little 20x30) and up my game on finishing work.

[@DozIT]

The builds is their primary focus, this equipment enables them to excavate, drill, prep, etc. and makes an appearance in almost all of their 'start of build' videos. You are right, I would not be interested in seeing videos of them playing in dirt everyday, but as a one off it's nice to see them having fun -- also Kabota makes great machines!

[@RRBuildings]

100% this is to add value to our day and keep it interesting for ourselves

[@joshuaworkman2005]

Good click bait long time following and I started out in just concrete and dirt work honestly imo best thing you can do is add more equipment cause there is a use for it all the way through turn key

[@michaelmunro2820]

Good to see you and Gregg having some fun. Can't wait to see you start on the houses.

[@tylercousins7779]

You could build a machine wash pit at your RRHQ. I did one for a dirt bike race shop. I dug a pit two feet deep and added a drain pipe to lower ground. We did the bottom 6" in packed road base, then a 6" layer or drain rock then topped with river rock. Add in a hose connection for a pressure washer and you're golden.

[@BAKisor]

You two make operating the Kubota equipment look easy. Then again you guys make everything look easy. You both are very gifted! Thanks for teaching and sharing!

[@jimbecker5675]

Contractor friend down the street's most favorite thing is to move dirt around with machines, despite doing all the other things, too. I'm not a builder, but I've always enjoyed the same with my litte Kubota BX22...including doing all the ground prept for my post frame shop building a couple years ago. Many tons of material got moved and smoothed. :)

[@johnmurphy9688]

Whattt. Your comment is very confusingggg

[@matthewjenkins6388]

After you have piled the dirt up, tap it down with the back of the bucket and smooth it off. This stops the rain from soaking in.

[@tommywalton1974]

57 hours and “a lot” in a year doesn’t make sense. Did I hear that right? 57 hours in a year?

[@gynn4622]

Was thinking the same. Add a few zeros…

[@DozIT]

@@gynn4622 Agreed, definitely would not justify owing the machine (seemingly he doesn't). Though if you think about what their business actually does they don't actually get to use these machines very often -- it's not like they are a company that does civil, interlock/landscaping, etc.

[@mikem1436]

@@DozIT I think that is part of the reason why Kubota offers him the equipment. Kubota can turn around after getting it returned an almost sell it for the same price as a new unused piece.

Like two kids in a toy store, both grinning from ear to ear.!!!! I love my Kubota tractor also. I have a back hoe for it and this summer I dug a 200' trench with it as well as digging out a big stump. Was having the time of my life!!

[@kenharlow829]

Yeah, you should get the tilt bucket for that too. It’s awesome.

It definitely looks fun digging ponds and stuff with brand new equipment

[@charlesreed1207]

Kyle, I rented a Kubota KX-080 a year ago for a month to grade my new shop site. I had never run an excavator before. It didn’t take long to learn how to run it. It was great! I would love to own my excavator.

[@josephcalisto2528]

[@vincecheney2017]

I have been an excavating contractor since 1988, we have 12 Kubota tractors as well as a KX 080 Super Double Boom very cool machine. Kubota equipment is Bullet proof best of the best.

[@ChipsNeeson]

I work for a Kubota Dealer in Aus, I get to play with these things on a daily basis, but don't enough land to justify buying anything. The KX080-5 is a beast.

[@RRBuildings]

I had the 40 and loved it. The new 40-5 has been updated quite well too

[@LoganBohannon]

Look forward to seeing you do more equipment/dirt work content. I know you’ll get better with the excavator as you use it but make a point to use the foot pedals for steering, once you get used to it you will be glad you made the effort to learn to use them and efficiency will be much greater.

[@georgeking5746]

I’m with you Kyle, i don’t work in construction but I love watching dirt work and would love to run an excavator and a bull dozer.

[@haas-10t78]

A tip for keeping grade, put you stick at 90 degrees and have the bottom of the bucket at 90 degrees to the stick so it’ll be flat to the ground, then do a stroke digging without moving the bucket, just the boom and stick, it makes it a lot easier

[@bobbrinkerhoff3592]

Kyle , as someone that is about straight across from you in Indiana , I can tell you that the heavy , wet , lake effect snows we tend to get , clog up two stage snow throwers/ blowers . Any more , I just push it with the loader , till it won't go any farther , then make a big pile out of it . They do make big snow pushers to take the place of your bucket , or a snow blade . Both use your loader arms to mount to your tractor .
