The view of work from inside the cab was the best. Dang, you really are good w that machine. You spoke of the multifunctional movement required to move the machine in the way it had to be moved to create the right slope correctly. Over the years, I've witnessed people who just could not get the feel of the machine. Wout that 'feel', one can't do what you were doing. It was so aggrating trying to train these people. I came to the conclusion that they wanted that job because the wanted to sit all day. They couldn't care less about becoming skillful. It is a joy to watch you, though. You've definitely mastered the feel of your machines. Crazy when you're making loud noises, the deer walk close to you unafraid, but when you move quietly, they avoid you at all cost! Very nice video today, thanks, Mike.👍🚜❤️🙏🇺🇸🇺🇸

Talk about the seasons changing and liking it so much, my wife and I took a 12 day trip from north Idaho down to Temecula CA to visit my sister & brother-in-law. We drove through Idaho, Oregon, Nevada, California and Montana. After we got back I mentioned to my wife about how much I like the 4 seasons of north Idaho. I was thinking about the Temecula area and it stays basically the same year round, seems a little boring to me. After we got back at the end of September it was time to put the summer stuff away and prepare for winter. We went from hot all summer and very little rain to fall within about 3 days, much cooler daytime & overnight temps and leaves changing color rapidly. I'm sure by the end of winter I'll be whining about having to clean more snow, but that's just part of the seasonal change. Love the tilt bucket and your excellent skills!!

[@robertkribs9513]

I don't know if anyone else feels this way but I appreciate the camera angle where you can see the bucket working from Mike's view. You start to feel like you could be doing the work!

I've worked in home construction for over 30 years and I've always wondered why operators don't use buckets like yours more often. It seems to me that they could do so much more with thier gear .

Every bucket has its strengths but tilt buckets have a lot of weaknesses when it comes to breaking points. They are great in light duty applications but it’s pretty tough to replace a talented operator that knows how to position the machine correctly with a regular digging bucket

Mike, I learned to run a Ford backhoe in 1969, the controls were marked, boom, crowd, bucket, and swing ! All the levers were in a row and the same height except for the outside short ones were for the outriggers! You are on point with the seasons!

[@davidmorse8432]

I also started out on a Ford backhoe. You had to operate the boom and crowd together to grade a ditch. Then I was put on a Case and I had to cross my hands one over the other to make it work. It was about the same time, 1969, the year I graduated high school. We got John Deere backhoes after that and fell in love with the joy stick controls. So much better.

The first time I used a backhoe it took sometime to dig a hole where I wanted it. Definitely by the time you've used it for 20 to 30 hours it all runs on automatic and you don't even think about it. I became an expert at walking it out of the mud on the buckets too. Is it dry enough to go where I wanted. Nope Best toy I've ever owned.

Now that you have the tilt bucket for the excavator, you definitely need a Harley rake for your skid steer. They can shape and crown a driveway or road so well, they are a perfect companion to the tilt bucket. The Harley rakes make the York rake obsolete.

Ok. I am not doubting your work but my thoughts are that all of the piles that you put on the high side of the ditch are going to wash back down if you get a very heavy rain. Other than that, the ditch looks great. Hope yall have safe travels and a fun time at the Bunyon show.

I am no expert but from what you said is not the dirt on the high side going to wash down back into the ditch? You maybe should have used the dump trailer or Old Blue and dumped the dirt over the edge at your wood yard.

[@whitegrizzleySR]

I used to sell TORO machines. Zero turns are zero turns. Some do a better cut than others but when you come down to it, any of them are just high priced "mowers". Most zero turns are limited on what else they can do. Sure, most bac pull a garden trailer and that is is. Some you can put a dozer plow on and push a little snow but good luck with that. Having said that, the Stihl you are using is a nice unit and cuts nice, how it the stripping ability on that unit???

[@ohhpaul7364]

Keeping the water off the road is important, when you live where the water can freeze for months on end- getting the water away from the road as quickly as possible is just as important. it can just freeze in the ditch around a stick and start ice damming again, you know. I was curious, is there any way you can make a ditch above the driveway, on the uphill side, about 50 feet or so up in the woods? It might keep the water from coming all the way down there to begin with. Maybe cut it up across the hill at a good, but not super steep angle. speed = erosion. Just a thought. thanks for the videos, Mike and family.
