Root Raking With The Skeleton Bucket On The TL12r2

Root raking with the skeleton bucket on the TL12r2. I finished with the clearing and got all the stumps in the fire so I thought I would try the skeleton bucket to clean up the roots and sticks. The bucket worked out pretty well at separating everything out. The lot will definitely need dirt before they can plant any grass seed. Thanks for watching! #EliteEarthworks #Takeuchi #skeletonbucket

That skeleton bucket actually works pretty good

[@eliteearthworksllc]

I thought so too

Here we go, the master at work with the skid steer! You are also a master of the excavator but it something about when you the skid steer that I get excited about. Great camera view and content! You have been on this project for awhile. How much time have you given yourself to compete?. Can your share charges for this? I love see the scraping on the ground and how it changes with each pass. The collection of debris, etc.... liked Viewed, shared, Subscribed! # 1 Fan/Subscriber

Thank you! The took 4 days start to finish and was $10k. I think it turned out pretty good and opened it up nicely.

[@blackdogexcavator21]

That cleaned up nicely. A friend of mine let me borrow his bucket like yours once. I had some unscreened top soil to put out that had a fair amount of trash in it. I used that bucket to shake out the majority of the junk and then used my power rake on it to finish it off. It worked pretty well.

[@eliteearthworksllc]

Yeah it made a good difference I thought still not sure how I’ll use this bucket but I’ll probably try it a little more often.

[@arkansas1336]

Project looks really nice! Good job with the Skeleton Bucket!

[@eliteearthworksllc]

Thank you! It cleaned it up pretty nice

[@markkenes4848]

Id say. You get about 95% of the dirt out with it. Thats great and did a real nice job. Bet that would make a nice rock rake too 👍👍👍💯💯💯

[@eliteearthworksllc]

I agree it slicked it up nice! Thanks again for watching

[@dalepremo3695]

Very impressive! My son said that Skeleton Bucket was like a "pre"Preparator and we both thought it did a really nice job. I think you said you were going to be bringing in topsoil - will you be using the Preparator on that?

[@eliteearthworksllc]

That’s right it’s a pre preparator. Yes when I do the topsoil I’ll bring the preparator for sure. Appreciate you watching

[@Gman2930]

Exceptional stump placement on the fire 🔥. You don’t learn that overnight!!

[@eliteearthworksllc]

Thanks! Figured that would burn them up the best. Appreciate you watching

[@eliteearthworksllc]

Thanks!

[@scrhino40]

I got 1 myself and thats what i bought mine for. Clean roots sticks rocks and bricks from a house site i clean up about 2 years ago. Also used it to get grass clumps out of top soil too. Have a great day be safe

[@eliteearthworksllc]

I bet it works great for that. I plan to try it on other jobs now and see how it does. Appreciate you watching

Excellent finish!

Thank you!

That bucket does a good job. Looks like it would be quicker than the excavator and possibly as quick as the dozer. Leaves a nice finish. Great job Brandon.

[@eliteearthworksllc]

I thought it did too. Definitely faster than the excavator. Appreciate you watching

[@sassafrasvalley1939]

It didn’t take too long to figure out how it worked. Did it? That skeleton will be great for seining rocks and roots off of dry surfaces. It sifted a full bucket down to less than half once you got the shaking down pat. I think that was the perfect application for it! I am digging out a shed foundation pad this weekend while I have my backhoe ready. I should be clear to come by next week… let me know.

[@eliteearthworksllc]

I thought it worked pretty well definitely want to try it on rough grading a yard. That sounds like a fun project. Sounds good!

[@dirtguy6537]

[@aaronburford5701]

It definitely made a HUGE difference!

[@eliteearthworksllc]

I agree!

[@hvy1ton]

Something with a wider tine spacing would really help getting the dirt out of the sticks and roots. That said, your skeleton bucket was picking up rocks that would have just fell out of my grapple.

[@eliteearthworksllc]

Yeah I probably should have brought my foot grappler bucket for this it has wider tines

[@johnkemp4370]

Beats the hell out of a shovel and your back.

[@ricepadi29]

Seemed to work pretty good.

[@eliteearthworksllc]

It did a pretty good job I thought

[@sonnyblazer5504]

Hmm, *SKELETON BUCKET* just the tool to better get dirt from root balls! How long have you had that gem? I like the flow of that yard. Looks up to date yet untouched if anyone follows! WOW, comments have a lot of likes! Looks good BRANDON and glad you could burn! Carry on all......

[@eliteearthworksllc]

I’ve had the bucket almost two years I think and this is the first time using it. 🤣 I think it did a pretty good job. Appreciate you watching

Those buckets work well if you have someone who can use it. You obviously can!

It worked pretty well I may try to remember it on rough grading jobs too

[@aaronburford5701]

Gm, question for you.... What is your favorite peice of equipment and why? What projects do you prefer to do and why? What do your prefer NOT to do and why?

[@eliteearthworksllc]

I really enjoy running the 2150 it’s so smooth and just a joy to run. I also really like the skid steer and dozer cause I enjoy grading work. It’s tough to say what my favorite job is. I really enjoy clearing and grading but I also like putting in driveways and digging basements. I guess my least favorite is digging footings or sewer and water line repairs

Any issues with your display in the cab on the new tl12? I have a tl10v2 with 200 hours now and I’m on my second display. Love the machine guess they just have screen issues. At least it’s covered under warranty.

[@eliteearthworksllc]

I haven’t yet but I have heard some of the screens don’t come on and have to be replaced. Yeah at least it’s under warranty but still annoying having to deal with the downtime
