Tearing Down An Old House With The Takeuchi TB2150

[@Bernie5172]

That Racoon made a good clean escape at 15:30

[@eliteearthworksllc]

Yes he did 🤣

[@sassafrasvalley1939]

Just enough wind to keep the dust cleared out! Oh, and the carpet was a total throw back fashion statement! RIP to the GoPro 7! She’s probably staring at a scrap of the old ‘70’s wall paper right now. That bluestem is one of the native prairie grasses. The Giant Blue Stem grows 8’ tall. Other varieties were smaller… they are known as Buffalo grass. And yes, it burns like a wild fire. Did you happen to notice which way that trash panda went? I don’t need him over here… I already have plenty! I spent yesterday afternoon burying a neighbors cow. She died trying to deliver a calf. The baby backhoe dug the hole in about an hour. It was great getting out in the sunshine and digging again… but, the reason was troubling. Enjoy the weather tomorrow… looks like we’re heading for a cool off again!

[@eliteearthworksllc]

I did not know that about blue stem glad I didn’t try to burn 🤣 oh man that’s not good but I have been there. Yes it’s been beautiful the last few days I’m loving it. Appreciate you watching

Nice job Brandon

Thank you!

[@blackdogexcavator21]

I think you made the right choice by not going inside that house. I would have climbed in the cab and closed the door until I got done. Probably would have took a bath with the garden hose in the yard before I went home too. Lol. You certainly made quick work of it getting her torn down. Great job my friend. Be safe.

[@eliteearthworksllc]

Yeah it was pretty scary looking in there 🤣. That machine is such an awesome size definitely makes short work of things.

I've only demolished one house, it was interesting with houses on either side of the one I was tearing down. Great work sir.

Gro. Pros are like socks in the drier, they seem to have magic powers and disappear at the slightest opportunity. Never to be found again! Better luck next time !

[@eliteearthworksllc]

🤣🤣 that’s for sure!

[@keithmerrell2196]

Cool project! I just did a demo on a 1400 sq ft house with my TB260 and it was a lot of fun. Took 4 days but all on-site hours combined was 23 I think.

[@eliteearthworksllc]

Nice! Those 260 are great machines!

[@Diddley-js6lf]

We have a 40 and a 60 but are looking at the 2150 tomorrow to evaluate it. Maybe it will be on our Lowboy before We are done.

[@richwielechowski5191]

Congrats on 25,000 subscribers! Old raccoon was in a hurry to clear out, surprising he didn’t have friends.

Poor raccoon! 😭 You could’ve brought him home 😁

[@shitloveaduck]

If he came home with Brandon, and he just let it go in the house,,,,,,,,, wellll let’s just say, your love for raccoons would be gone!! Hahaha. Teeth, claws and the most vicious sounding (they actually are pretty vicious) little creature you have ever heard!! Hahaha. The raccoon would also learn a lesson NOT to mess with Mrs Elite!! Hahaha. I hope all is going well with you!!!

@@shitloveaduck I’m not sure our 2 cats would enjoy the new spicy sibling either 🦝

[@bobbrinkerhoff3592]

On the way to work early one morning , years ago I saw a very strange sight , walking along one side of the road was a house cat , on the other side was a skunk and they acted friendly towards each other . But yeah your cats probably would have had a conniption fit over the new guest .

[@dalepremo3695]

Now that was something COMPLETELY different and lots of fun. Yes, that video from inside would have been great, darnit! But I think the critter @15:32 must have absconded with it. Congrats on the well deserved 25K Subs.

[@eliteearthworksllc]

Thank you! Appreciate your support! Lol I didn’t notice him until someone said something. Thanks again for watching

[@tristardiggin]

Hey, how's the visibility with the tinted windows? I'm sure it stays a lot cooler in the cab.

[@eliteearthworksllc]

It’s good, sometimes there’s a little glare from the sun at certain angles but it’s really not bad

[@marynordman5506]

The masked bandit ran off with your gopro.

[@eliteearthworksllc]

🤣🤣 I bet he did too

[@tomh3652]

For time saving you could have had both dump trucks there. Load one and load the other so its ready to go when empty one comes back.

[@eliteearthworksllc]

That’s a good point

[@8978Marty]

Track down that Racoon that ran out of the house, he probably has the GoPro. I have never seen a Racoon run that fast

[@eliteearthworksllc]

🤣🤣 right he’s probably got it

[@MONSTERMISFITS]

Looking good brother I had a crack head take my pro 7 🙄

[@eliteearthworksllc]

Thanks man! Dammit 😡

[@skyhunter823]

Outstanding job per normal we do a bit of Demolition work as well from time to time we have Demo trail for all the material & haul to the nearest facility Dat handle Demo material Demo work is definitely a bit Different for our normal Dirt work

[@eliteearthworksllc]

Thanks man! I always enjoy demo work

[@skyhunter823]

As do I it is a wonderful change of pace

[@terryrogers1025]

The 2150 is bigger than I realized. Looks like it does a nice job. On your GoPros, is there some way you could fasten a cable or cord to the frame and run the end out away fro it’s position and pin it to something so if it happens it gets buried it would be easier to find? Thanks for the ride along.

[@eliteearthworksllc]

Yeah it’s 36,000lbs almost as big as Letsdig’s 160. Yes next time I’ll have a better rope or cable on the camera lol. Appreciate you watching

[@jimcrawford7111]

I saw the racoon going with it.

[@eliteearthworksllc]

🤣 that’s what I figured too

[@jasonwakefield5513]

Dont blame for not wanting to burn the house. The house i tore down took 3 dumpsters to haul it off.

[@eliteearthworksllc]

Nice! Yeah you can smash them up good to fit in a few dumpsters.

[@tedohio3038]

Nice, are going to use your brush grapple?

[@eliteearthworksllc]

Thanks! No I just used the excavator on the whole thing

[@Diddley-js6lf]

How do you like the 2150, we are. Looking at one and haven’t heard To much about the Machine, can you clue me in on some high points or bad points if you don’t mind. Currently we own 4 pieces of Iron made by Takeuchi a 60 and a 40 but we want a nice bigger piece to. Do basements and demos

[@eliteearthworksllc]

I love it! It’s been a great investment and really open the doors to more work for me. I have no complaints with it. It’s very powerful and smooth. The reach is awesome too. Great for basements and demo work

[@stevesmith-wc2gb]

The fire departments around here still do live burns and the one I’m with does

[@eliteearthworksllc]

That’s cool! I think it’s a great idea!

[@NealORussa]

How many truckloads of c&d trash did you haul off and do you know about how many square feet was the house?

[@eliteearthworksllc]

The house was around 1300-1400 sq ft and we hauled off 15 loads of debris and 8 loads of concrete

[@daverobertson3519]

😊

[@eliteearthworksllc]

Thanks

[@kenkonstruction6127]

You smashed and broke it up pretty good, did all the loads slide out of bed or did any of them get hung up?

[@eliteearthworksllc]

They all came out fine. I didn’t load them as full for fear they would get hung up

[@ronthacker211]

Too bad there's not some giant Fecon machine that could grind up houses... lol

[@eliteearthworksllc]

That would be awesome! 😁

[@papakilo1925]

Nbody mentioned the racoon? 15.29. Guess you lost 1 friend. 😁

[@eliteearthworksllc]

Oh yes everyone mentioned the raccoon 🤣 I never saw him even when I was editing the video

[@leeshaver7825]

I'm curious since you had your dads truck there and I think yours why didn't you load you dads truck while he was gone you could of loaded yours Then when your dad got back you could of loaded his while he took yours to the dump Rinse and reapeat

[@eliteearthworksllc]

He only had to run a few miles to the dump so it didn’t take long on the runs

[@alanede9350]

Is it just me ? or, at 15:33 did you illegally evict a raccoon !!!!

[@eliteearthworksllc]

I did 😁

[@dansevern3291]

Actually, that seems like a fun job, but I've always enjoyed breaking stuff, except that part where it looked like you almost broke a sideboard on your Dad's truck. That would NOT be fun. (I broke stuff on my Dad's trucks, when I worked for him in the early 1970s, and trust me, it was the farthest thing from fun in those cases.)😁
