That’s good you did that thanks for the video!!!!

[@thomasconstructiontexas]

Thanks for watching!

[@NealORussa]

Were they needing to save those boxes? I would have gone in with a demo saw, sledge hammer and a dump trailer and gotten them out with 2 guys and a half day, no tree clearing!

[@thomasconstructiontexas]

The contractor used them at the plant. He did get paid good money for them. Plus he had to get them off that job to collect his 150 K

Sometimes you just have to do what you have to do!!! another great video😎

[@thomasconstructiontexas]

You got that right!

You have the name of that background song?

[@thomasconstructiontexas]

I pay a company for the rights to use songs. After I use them, I delete them. Sorry

[@GRUBB-MUDD]

i would have dome the exact same thing. hey bro even if we r not interested in the content to much we still let the video play all the way through just cuz we support each other! much support from indiana

Put the boxes in the dump body ? One trip, fuel ain’t free.

[@thomasconstructiontexas]

We had that discussion. This was my thoughts at the time. I had three men on payroll plus myself. It takes a machine and two people to take the tailgate off of the dump truck and the same thing to put it back on. Then you need a man in the back of the truck rigging, and a man on the machine to get them out of the truck. By putting them on the trailer, I only had to send the driver. Where we were taking the boxes they let us use their forklift to unload. The other guys I sent on to the next job. I was able to bill from the time I pick up the machine to the time I dropped it off... If I was in a big hurry I would've probably did it different .

[@catherinehale7883]

Lol, I would have dragged them to the fence line in the back and lift them over the fence. Just saying.

[@thomasconstructiontexas]

They were not going for that. They were paying to take them out. Thanks for watching

[@catherinehale7883]

@@thomasconstructiontexas lol, that's why I said" Lift them over the fence". It looks like a road or something like that at the back of the lot, am I wrong? It's ok Doug, if y'all didn't black ball me for falling through that floor I could have saved you time and trees.

[@GRUBB-MUDD]

i think my kubota could have done the job too, 5k lbs it would lift it for sure. its is my favorite machine, and my only machine but its our baby. we just tore out a huge driveway w it. and some of the pieces it lifted were crazy heavy. of course that is with the hoe and not the front bucket. but if u put a load of stone in the front bucket it will lift 5klbs, not sure if it could lift 5k lbs over a fence or not though. i think it could have done the job though. the kubota might be alow but it works and handles any job we ever had along w my electric jack hammmer and a sledge. we never have an issue

[@thomasconstructiontexas]

Kubota makes damn good tractors. I knew if I took the 313 I can make it happen.

[@GRUBB-MUDD]

[@thomasconstructiontexas]

That's funny. Shhhhhhh

[@obviousness8113]

Just out of curiosity, why wouldn't placing the concrete boxes in the dump truck work?
