Removing A Driveway With Takeuchi TB153fr

Removing an old driveway and cutting area for larger new driveway. I hauled out 2 loads of concrete and dirt and leveled the area out for the owner to come and pour the new driveway. The job took about 3.5 hours to complete. Thanks for watching! #EliteEarthworks #Takeuchi #TakeuchiTB153fr

Having been an owner/operator myself I can say you have great detail orientation and an eye for keeping things neat and orderly. Congrats.

Totally LIKE the Fast Foward showing ENTIRE Video ... versus Editing out sections ... Many thanks for Sharing

[@eliteearthworksllc]

John PLunkett ok again thanks for the feedback. I hate editing sections out but also not sure people want to watch the whole thing. So that’s why I just went to speeding it up. Thanks again for watching

[@jot017]

that's some brittle concrete! I like to set my blade down on those big chunks and lift to snap the larger pieces. It's fun working demo. Nice video as always.

[@eliteearthworksllc]

jot017 yes it was, I was surprised how easy it broke. Thanks again for watching

[@CaptKirk1701]

No wonder the driveway cracked, no gravel base, great job Brandon!

[@eliteearthworksllc]

Kirk Overly I know lol! And he acts like he wants to pour on that crap again! Makes no sense to me

[@pjs5191]

You’ve got major guts my dude, getting that close to the house with that boom. I guess that’s what happens when you’re good though. I’d have been taking a shovel to get those bits close to the house. Nice video as always enjoyed it.

[@eliteearthworksllc]

pjs5191 LoL! I’m not a big fan of shoveling, but yes that was a bit close. Thanks again

Great looking work on this video. You do it right...

[@eliteearthworksllc]

Michael B. Thank you! I try too! Appreciate that!

[@dirtediggin]

Nice job on the tear out. I agree with you on the size part of the excavators. I think what we have and what you have are fairly well sized for most of the work we do.

[@eliteearthworksllc]

Jared Ellis thank you! And I agree seems like it’s a great all around size. Maybe a little small on some projects but just right for the majority of the time.

[@davestinson5691]

Not trying to tell u how to do ur job. But I've learned to leave windrow of dirt on either side of drive. Makes it easy to backfill. Only if I'm gonna do it though. Dirt may not be as good as it looks on camera. Nice work man finished product looks clean an neat

[@mightymoeexcavating754]

Will they just pour the concrete on that? Up here in Ontario Canada we excavate 10 to 12 in and place and compact 6 in of road gravel and then concrete 5 to 6 in. Nice job keep on stroking, excellent editing,ty for sharing

[@eliteearthworksllc]

Mighty Moe Excavating he really should dig it down more and use base rock but he acts like he’s going to pour on that, which to me would be a waste. Seems like the driveway would just crack all over again. Thank you, and I appreciate you watching

Elite Earthworks LLC do you get them often? Or do they tend to be over looked for other more profitable jobs? Not that 750 for 4 hours of work isn’t worth your time lol

How long have you had this machine? Have you had any problems with it?

Oliver I’ve had it for a little over a year. I had some hydraulic issues last year that turned out to be really dirty fluid from the previous owner not changing it. But overall it’s been a great machine, it has about 3500 hours on it now. Thanks again for watching
