That crushed concrete is very good for concrete base and driveways. I used it for my driveway, super compact, no dust up. I also used it under my double wide home and it's very clean under there and house has been level for 8 years now.

Great Irish built machines..Terex Finlay jaw to a McCloskey Screener to aTerex Finlay cone...all built in Northern Ireland

I always wondered where piles of extra "durret" went. Jokes aside, it was interesting to see where old concrete can end up.

[@penguins9645]

Man, that guy looked sunburned! He could use some sunblock.

[@kristinabrodnevskaya7219]

or maybe he's just drunk

[@tanyamccann9478]

Thank you for clarifying.

[@tanyamccann1747]

Thanks

[@ratchet219]

[@heroknaderi]

Amazing 😉

[@veronicaniezgoda8363]

So interesting

[@aidanfinnegan22]

Kevin, come on now. Use the parking brake.

[@demagab]

Yes hahaha. Now it's going to be hard to shift out of park. Plus, the surface is a little slippery (mud), should one wheel slip, the entire truck would move forward!

[@motorcycleman-go4708]

I went searching through the comments for someone to mention that hahahah

[@AndrewMiguelez]

I am subscribed and have notifications turned on but haven't seen any of your videos for over a week show up. I have to navigate to your channel to see your videos. Are you possibly configuring your new videos to post silently?

[@bryanc531]

Same here

[@SuperGamingeek]

Yup. This is the only channel I've had problems with

[@alex_byrnes]

I assume that first machine breaks the concrete up enough to seperate the rebar?

[@mrtreyelmore]

How many acres is needed?

[@danolim59]

Guy says "big machines", Tommy says " oooh ".

[@NewsBroadcasting]

[@virus56777]

It will chip a six foot telephone pole to.

[@davidpearson3304]

A KZbin “expert” claiming they are doing it wrong and they do it the “correct” way in 3...2....1....

[@bigchungus920]

There could be experienced people on this comment section but take everything with a a grain of salt

[@morlamweb]

@Joe Kinchicken : 9 times out of 10 the commenters are full of hot air and little actual knowledge.

[@scarroll625]

Uh oh. They shook hands. Watch out for protestors.

[@--2]
