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.

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.
@TheDrew20226 сағат бұрын
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.
@DozITСағат бұрын
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!

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. :)

Both use your loader arms to mount to your tractor .
