I liked the whole bucket build series. You took us from the design phase, building, and now testing. I like it. Thanks Keep up the vids.

[@Topdrummer165]

I like that little digger and the bucket works great and good job on the Digger bucket build Bill 👍😎

[@jamesmaroon6161]

Really like the video Bill. Really appreciate you taking your time to make it. So thank you so much buddy. Take care

[@tedkahler9738]

just a random thought you could have a piece of plywood what would slide in between a couple of boards that you could screw to each side of the trailer so then when you tilted the trailer with dirt in you would not have to worry about the dirt falling off. Then take the plywood off when not hauling dirt so your mini x would be on the front of the trailer again. Just a thought

[@oldguy1944]

Been watching for years. Was in Mono on Sunday to visit friends and took a drive around the cemetery. Amazed at how big it is and have no idea how you can keep it in such good shape. Sure looks smaller on the tubes !

[@TF856]

Put the backfill blade on the ground behind you when you're digging in hard ground. It'll give you more digging power and It won't be raising the machine up as easily.

[@MrGoosePit]

Great to see the new bucket in action. Not to mention the trailer you built also. Nice work Bill.

[@billstmaxx]

Yes it all worked great. Just as planned

[@AdventuresLife]

love the whole GRAVE DIGGER thing:) I will also say you are the (JACK OF ALL TRADES) KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK.

[@chrislee7392]

is that the monster truck thing or Bill ?

[@robertestes4703]

Bill,another thing that affects the amount of dirt put back in a hole are moon phases. That is how the moon gravatational pull affects the Earth.

[@Chris-Fennimore]

Bill, you need to build a clam-shell bucket that can dig straight down. You can utilize the thumb piston for the front half of the clamshell. :-)

[@shannonwagner212]

Bill can you install a side hydraulic dump for the front half of the trailer where you put the dirt with a removable side? between the trailer tires. that way you can pull up and park beside the hole leaving the excavator on the back of the trailer, dump all or most of the dirt. very little shoveling and use the excavator to push down on the pile of dirt to help compact it.

[@billstmaxx]

Ya could have. But was wanting to stay away from more hydraulic lines to hook up and look after

[@drewbatye6874]

good job on the bucket Billstmax

[@StihlnLogs]

Wonderful video as always Bill. Two thumbs up!

[@jackgolding1358]

Bill, have you ever considered using an auger instead of a bucket for the burial of cremains ? With a 15" auger you would be done in less than a minute. Just a thought.

[@cheeto4493]

If you stop filling in about halfway and stomp, and then again at the end (or even better every 12" of fill) you will get less settling and less dirt left over. It compact the lower levels better.

[@loydcourson3588]

bill what about having the blade facing the dirt to hold it back from falling out??

[@throttlebottle5906]

if a round hole is suitable you could use a large diameter auger and make something to catch the dirt it removes. of course that could make your job too easy for the small digs :))

[@andrewcompton1386]

Hi Bill you have a sight glass on the side of the hydraulic tank you can see it barely through the exhaust port on the back of the machine love your videos

[@johnkaufmann1905]

You could use some c channel cut on a bevel from thick to nothing and weld them were your tracks load onto the back of trailer. Just a thought

[@chevyphil3969]

april showers bring may flowers and mayflowers bring pilgrims

[@RobiSydney]

Love the bucket, I so want to get a K8. If you put the blade behind you you'll get more digging force.

[@collinzappa1519]

I love that little tractor, can you please make more videos of it?

[@xXBIGJONESYXx]

Great video bill! Glad the bucket worked out!

[@cloverwolf3755]

Wen you hooked on to the big trailer it was like watching farm sim saterday! Love your vids bill!!!

[@bjornungen74]

Is it possible to elongate the bolt holes in the rops upwards using your carbide burr, and lowering the rops alittle bit so it clears the garage door/cable? Great video and nice bucket build :-)

[@billstmaxx]

Or remove it altogether

[@ST-ej9bt]

enjoyed the angle u had the camera set on buccet curving. very interesting bill buccet turned out good shame it got dirty but oh well haha

[@chrislee7392]

try putting a removable board 2/3ds of the way down to stop the soil coming to far down . what is the reason you do not replace the spoil back in the whole when you did a grave and the make good with top soil ?

[@sheiry1]

you could probably shorten that roll over bar a wee bit by cutting a section out and re-welding it, then you wouldn't have issues getting under the door. But then you risk losing durability of the bar so idk

[@sixosixo]

Enjoyed the video, Bill. You might think about facing the ex the other way when digging, using the blade to keep the machine from rocking back. Just a thought.

[@billstmaxx]

Yes I did move around half way though it helps

[@jeremynguyen2346]

@@billstmaxx does the cemetery have a crematorium

[@luclion7163]

Thanks for the trailler ride that was fun.

[@40lostyears]

I dug my first grave the other day. I always thought they were 6 feet deep but there are only 4 1/2ft or 54 inches to the bottom of the hole. To preevent cave-ins they use cement vaults.

[@billstmaxx]

A full I normally go 6' to the bottom

[@chainsawtony6857]

Bill, all that machinery when all you need is a crossover spade, a post chisel and a wheelbarrow. I would have had a tidy hole dug in the time it took you just to get prepared. Sometimes less is more...plus it would keep you fit and build up those back muscles. Just how big are those Canadian urns anyway!? All the best.

[@billstmaxx]

But that's no fun. The possibility of making the hole to small is higher digging by hand. The machine makes larger than needed but better to big than have a cremation vessel go in crooked

[@gainsey95]

hey bill realy nice video as always

[@denisetindall85]

HOW ARE YOU DOING BILLSTMAXX I HOPE YOU AND YOUR FAMILY ARE DOING OKAY BILLSTMAXX I HOPE YOU HAVE A VERY NICE EVENING BILLSTMAXX THANK YOU FROM DENISE TINDALL HOW IS THE WEATHER IN CANADA A BILLSTMAXX

[@gerryvanwoerkom7241]

now you need to do a hole beside this hole with old bucket .. just to see the difference

[@MrSilverado1982]

What if you have the blade in the back as you dig the down force may not let the whole machine lift so much??

[@johnfarmall127]

put a piece of Angle iron on the end of the trailer so it is easer to load or unload things

[@chrisbaughman9860]

Bucket turned out nice

[@billstmaxx]

thanks

[@alexwaters6608]

Hey bill what if you made a metal sheet that was hinged at bottom of the trailer and u fold it down so u don't have such a drop off but fold it back up whne moving

[@rtesimpson]

If the bucket isn't to your liking, maybe you'd better make another one...you can never have too many buckets, right?

[@billstmaxx]

I think that was the last bucket build

[@decoysk]

you should make a post hole digger for the Kubota.

[@20lauratodd]

I think you should design a little clamshell bucket for mini ex

[@THYKAER]

hi bill in you excaust hole there is a small inspection glass for your hydraulic oil

[@louisnemick317]

Thanks for sharing.

[@green5566]

Love the vids billstmaxx

[@egolliher6933]

conveyor in the front for side unload lol love your videos you do nice work I'm getting ready to try to build a front loader for my 175 hydro John deer I we'll send pictures on Facebook still working out the Hydraulics geometry

[@y2kxj]

Hey bill, I've seen you wearing ear muffs for hearing protection go and check out db blockers . They are custom fit ear plugs, they are not cheap but since getting a set I can't stand ear muffs or the regular ear plugs.

[@CF21LDB]

Great Video Bill, will you be digging for real where you done the test dig or the cemetery still got capacity that it's more likely it will be your successor after your retirement.

[@Keo-ug1uf]

How do you know exactly where to dig Bill, i guess that there are gonna be areas in the cemetery that have a spare plot in between others, at least i know thats how it works in my area, i see new plots going into old areas of the local cemetery

[@billstmaxx]

Yes. If my index cards are right you can find the proper grave. For example a cremated remain that wanted to be buried on grampa I'd look up to see what grave he was buried in and open that.

[@Keo-ug1uf]

Oh right i see, that explains how my great grandad was burried and then around 30 years later my great grandma was buried with him in the same plot, Although the area looks quite newish, there is probably a lot of graves there without stones on, or they want to put the stone on when the 3rd person goes in there. Thanks for the reply :)

[@brucewilmot7950]

good job on buket.

[@bigjim5723]

bill-i too always give thumbs before i watch-sometimes i don't care for something too much-but hey u took the time to do the video-i figure if i'm gonna watch it-out of respect for u-i thumbs up too. anyways-doesn't ur cemetery require a vault for the urn their? i have only attended one funeral that was buried like that. here at my cemetery, our funeral director told us-i would have to a vault, then my urn, well i suppose u wouldn't need a urn, if using a vault-right. i really enjoyed seeing how i was gonna go to rest--minus my vault. so them urn's at ur place-they would water tight-like a good vault is suppose to be? thanks again-bill.

[@MartyMotorizedMayhem]

Well Good Evening Bill.

[@billstmaxx]

Hi MMM :)

[@dalefarm100]

Hi billstmaxx can u remember what video u used the stihl with all the extension poles

[@billstmaxx]

We must have been trimming something high up

[@jakeschisler7525]

Watching you dig the hole maybe bucket shouldn't have so much of a tight arch

[@adamwiencek572]

Hey Bill you are my favorite youtuber. I loved your astroneer video. Can you please make another one? 😀

[@williamkeserich4363]

nice video thanks

[@jasonwilde5864]

good job on the bucket build.... paint job not so much. .look by the end of the video its all scratched looking, Td on the Paint job sir. . lol hey there you go. that's why they have you the td's is because of the scratched paint. and yes the rain has sucked large lately. ...go leafs! !

[@billstmaxx]

Lol on the paint td. How would any kind of paint hold up to that abrasive digging. I think it was perfect. Please tell me how your paint wouldn't scratch off?

[@jasonwilde5864]

I'm only one of the people that watches others videos then criticizes them on what "I would have done". I'm not to be held accountable on how I would do it better, my job is only to tell others how they did theirs wrong.... being totally sarcastic here...lol ps thought us was pretty cool learning you are a fellow Ontario-an

[@billstmaxx]

I see it now. I thought it was an odd question. ✌️

[@jasonwilde5864]

Ok I get it that was a lame attempt at a joke. I'll try harder next time

[@THYKAER]

what About a hydraulic auger for those holes

[@fivehigh4718]

Dirt auger .. drill the hole in the dirt.. haha.. another nice bucket complete!

[@billstmaxx]

Yes I'd like to do that too but the admitted spilled off the screw and makes a mess that you have to clean up anyhow.

[@fivehigh4718]

True enough, Maybe future technology will allow better management of the mess they make.. anywho take care bill .. always look forward to ur next build!

[@arnehelland6015]

how big a whole is needed, you can make a tube type whole digger with a shop vacuum hooked to it ,no mess and pretty quick.

[@rayjan7996]

I don't think a shop vac could suck the dirt up. At my former workplace I had to design a vacuum car that could suck up rocks up to 2", but it needed a 155hp motor to da that. I have in my head an idea for a different bucket style. Maybe I will design one in CAD and do a simulation with it. Otherwise a great video as always Bill.

[@arnehelland6015]

there are videos of vacuum hole diggers is all about having a good seal and end to break the dirt up.

[@hsmith3844]

I thought you put the plow blade to the back of the machine so she doesn't want to tip back on you when you dig? I would have made a mess of that, nice digging

[@Johndeer-ed1wd]

Nice bucket

[@Nick-nw6zg]

Why wouldn't you load the blade Facing the dirt❓

[@billstmaxx]

Oh could have. Just he way she went on

[@giuseppegrossi1]

[@billstmaxx]

7'X16'

[@MrGreffb]

haters will be haters they still watched

[@billstmaxx]

I love haters lol

[@MrGreffb]

well I love your vids so not part of the hater group. 😎

[@ziggyr1]

why not use the machine to fill in the hole?

[@billstmaxx]

Could but I'd be afraid the machine would tear up the plywood on the trailer

[@williamkeserich4363]

sounds like rock

[@brandonplantier7839]

at 29:15 that rock looks like a face creppy middle left

[@nicharworth9341]

Have you ever thought about getting a bucket for the 2720

[@nathanbrodeur]

Nic Harworth Bill doesn't have the 2720 anymore he has a 2032R now and where would he store a backhoe attachment he doesn't have any more room

[@shaunmcgahey6683]

15:04 u hit the "headstone"

[@marklockwood2146]

What about some teeth??

[@billstmaxx]

Yes but the teeth make the curl even longer. I like to try to keep it as tight as possible Smaller hole then

[@marklockwood2146]

May help with grabbing rocks
