Using a Mini Skid Steer to Grade a New Patio

[@ShootingG1]

Are these tippy? I have to move dirt to the side of my house but has a cross slope.

[@terragardensco]

Center of gravity is pretty low on these so it feels stable. As long as you keep the bucket low, it should be OK. That being said, I have tipped this machine before.😂

@terragardensco Ha, ok. Thanks

Hi How is work if i need the scrap the dirt from backyard ?

[@terragardensco]

Hi! I hope I understand you correctly, but the dirt that you dont need, you remove it from the jobsite. That's what we had to do for this project.

Good unit just to me it’s harder to see the bucket to grade I’m 5.8

[@terragardensco]

Never thought of that!

I am considering this model for work. We are mainly engaged in irrigation systems. How do you like this technique? did you like it?

[@terragardensco]

Thanks for your question. This machine is great for material moving, grading, and heavy items. The model we have has many options for attachments that you can use for irrigation for example the trenching attachment but if you are mainly doing irrigation work, you might be able to get away with just a trencher. In my experience, the trenching attachment for this machine is very heavy and hard to transport. If you are doing digging and grading work, I would vote to get this, but if you are digging trenches for irrigation lines, maybe consider a trencher or a mini excavator. Hope this helps!

​@@terragardensco Thanks for the answer! Yes, I totally agree, and yes, we already have trenchers), the video is on my channel. We would like a machine that will allow us to perform several types of work, not only to dig, but also to transport materials, fill trenches, make the layout of the land) I am looking at several machines, such as bobcat mt100, ditch witch sk800, kubota scl1000. Dimensions are important for us - we have most of the objects that large equipment simply won't stop by, and here is the sk600 quite an interesting option, small and powerful) Unfortunately, such equipment is not officially sold in Russia, so we have to watch the work of other colleagues on video)

@JadedDragon-rl9hi thanks for writing this out. This is why I like to wear a mask when operating machinery! We dont have valley fever here, that sounds scary!
