If a concrete truck were to get in the dug out area it could get stuck or even worse turn over if it was in an awkward position.

Just curious why not use the 313, looks like a lot of dirt to move

Funny about the tripod. Sam, do you run green or red fuel in your equipment. I use green because the red is not nearby and I don't qualify to have a farm Tax ID number. So, having red delivered is the same price as green. I was only curious. Nice video, Shannon

Yeah Shannon those tripods are a pain! 🤣🤣🤣 I use red fuel and have it delivered. Generally red fuel is less expensive because there is less road tax on it. The farm exemption helps with sales tax. But, I don’t get to use my farm exemption because it’s for the excavation business. Thanks, Sam

Now there out in the country and still building house right next to each other and no privacy. If I get property out in the county I’ll buy 360 acres that way I can build my house right in the middle of so I don’t have neighbors right in my front door!!!!! Is your ram a 5500 or is it a 3500??? Can you do a review on it or have you done one??? I know lots of questions and comments.
@tristardigginКүн бұрын
Michael that’s right, I prefer a bit of privacy too. The Ram is a 5500 and I do have an older video on it. I will link it below… Thanks kzbin.info/www/bejne/oqTdZombqJVmZqMsi=Wap7GsbSOp2M8ypC

Couldnt u have just dug those little spots out with the skid steer and only have to handle the dirt once?
@tristardiggin2 күн бұрын
Yes but much easier keeping it in grade with the mini using the grade control . Also the mini loosens up the dirt and much easier on the skid steer that way…
