My best friend locates in Idaho. I told him you can't locate in the winter. He said we do. I said how do you mark the snow. He said yes. I said well what happens when it melts or it snows more.He said they have to order another locate. So Aron painting over the dirt pile doesn't surprise me. You going to have to order another locate. Lol God bless

[@lennelonge2626]

The hardest part for me is making anything level but you make it so easy! Great job guys!

[@DirtPerfect]

Thanks buddy

[@joshdurbin4662]

Look into an lr50 or lr60 laser receiver, it is designed specifically to be mounted on equipment. It gives you a plum indication as well as a level side to side indicator and my LR 50 has a remote that you mount in the cab with magnets so you don’t even have to actually see the receiver. It also has 360° eyes so you almost always get a reading

[@paulr5875]

Nice work Mike!

[@nilskalvik9123]

We all has been a novice. The grader attatcement is a superb tool. 👍 I missing the fabric in the road and some bigger rock on the road and under the building. Here in Norway, must we do that, pluss insulation under the buildingplatt. 🇧🇻

[@bvfdfire1]

YOU will have a blast with that grader when you do get a laser setup on it. One thing we did before we got our grader and laser set up is to add a bracket either in the middle of the blade, or in the case of one of our dozers, on each end, so that we could bolt on a rod that we can attach the laser receiver to. That lets you until Aaron or Kleeman, whoever you have on the rod. I do use the receivers that came with the laser, although, I also have a large LR50 receiver that just makes everything bigger to see. The EDGE grader that I mentioned that we have now though has the auto controls and dual trackers and is SSSSOOOOO much faster than a person can react, its amazing..... Oh, and since we figured out that we had the expensive parts (laser and receiver), we even put a mast mount on the skid steer bucket, it helps!!!! Another little trick on them pads, went to rv supercenter and got a pair of the little bubble levels that stick on a camper trailer, less than 10 bucks! and level the machine and stick em on the ROPS or somewhere that you can see them, kinda helps you get close on pads! Sorry about getting so long winded. Stay safe, YOU GOT IT GOING ON! Keith

[@DirtPerfect]

All good ideas thanks buddy

[@dennisocallaghan1380]

Your grader attachment on the skid steer is handy save getting extra machine

[@DirtPerfect]

Yup has worked out real well

[@waltermattson5566]

The grader works very well. The new tires on it work better too.

[@DirtPerfect]

Yes they do

[@dgoodinground]

Nice video! You should weld a c channel on the back of that grade blade so you can mount the lazer directly to the attachment

[@DirtPerfect]

Thanks

[@blaketerry8569]

Case has the new 550 skid steer/dozer with all the grading also. Just need to get one so I can see how well it works. Good work on the pad man it looks amazing

[@andrewshullick4319]

Hi Mr dirt perfect. Awesome video no picking on you this time. But Jerry would have it done the right way thanks for sharing it

[@mandeladams4793]

I’ve seen people weld flat plate or mounting surface to each end of the grader blade and attach the dozer receiver pole mounts(some have rubber bushings or other absorbing properties/ characteristics for your receivers so you don’t beat them to death ) for a laser level. It’s just money, to make dreams come true.

[@DirtPerfect]

👍

Excellent project! Enjoyed the Kubota yanking out the dump truck! OK, maybe I missed it, but why the larger rock in the center and the smaller rock on the one end? Is that just where the big trucks have to come in/out with the larger base layer? Thanks.

Small rock will be under the building

[@idadho]

How about making a mount for a short grade pole over each end of the blade so you can set the receiver close enough to see the lights and hear the beeps? You could weld up a plumb bob level for the blade, too, so you could grade level or a crown. You could make a similar mount on your bucket. Then, you'd only have the camera to talk to when you have to grade a pad. That would be a great rainy day shop video.

[@DirtPerfect]

Possibly

[@hankhazen]

[@DirtPerfect]

👍

[@blackdogexcavator21]

You need to mount your laser sensor on a pogo stick and Aaron can hop along beside you to check the grade for you while you grade. That would make an exciting video I think. Lol

[@DirtPerfect]

👍

[@CaptKirk1701]

Pretty Slick!

[@DirtPerfect]

Thanks

[@TrevorDennis100]

Mike it must be doable to get a laser receiver above the center of the blade and eyeball it from there. A proper set up would be very serious money. Chris Guins' buddy Charlie was paying the bank $10K a month for his big CAT grader and millimetre Trimble equipment. A magnetic laser receiver, on the other hand, can be got for

[@thomasdesmond2248]

Mike you need to put a hitch on the back of the skid steer for the roller. Then you don't need to bring the tractor. Just a suggestion. God bless

[@DirtPerfect]

[@williamdegnan4718]

I'd be tempted to bolt a length of stadia rod on each end of the grader blade and attach laser receivers. You'll still have to operate the controls but you could laser level on the fly.👷‍♂️

[@DirtPerfect]

No need when you have Aaron

[@richardhedrick5601]

The grader attachment save a lot of raking

[@DirtPerfect]

Yes it does

[@stangoodrich5721]

Laser guided or gps auto controls would be nice, but a simple cheaper option would be to just mount your story pole on the blade. Weld a piece of square tube on top of the blade with a set screw and you're golden. Then all you have to do is keep a line of sight to your laser, which you already know.

[@DirtPerfect]

Yup

[@mikenixon9164]

Not a fan of skid steers but that grader attachment is great.

At home try attaching your guide stick to your blade and see if you can get it to work right. Yes it's not automatic you still have to control it but you won't need the guy on the ground. Good luck

[@DirtPerfect]

I have works ok

[@georgebryan6019]

that is a nice dance of to machine

[@DirtPerfect]

Thanks

[@markmullins4222]

You could put a poll on each side of the blade and put one of them level deals on it that way you can use the laser Steel just keep it where you can see device easy from inside cab

[@DirtPerfect]

Yes but it’s not that simple

[@markmullins4222]

But sometimes it do a little experiment put the receiver where you can see it from the cab then build your own device from one side over to it then do it to the other side are can you run two receivers at the same time

[@davidglaum2538]

At sometime can you show how you use the equipment to level a job site and how the white stick is used. Thank you.

[@DirtPerfect]

Yes will do

[@kylegabler2079]

"GRADER MOD" Mount a for 4 level on top ove the blade and attach receiver from laser on one end of the blade. Should work well for a level pad and use one less person.

[@DirtPerfect]

👍

[@kellydklassen]

I've got the Bobcat version of the grader for my (case) skid steer. As mentioned, you can bolt a pole to one side of the blade (mine came with that). A laser on one side is very effective. Follow the last pass with the trailing side, and follow the laser for the leading side. I love my grader attachment too!🙂

[@DirtPerfect]

This was over a year ago but thanks

[@rudyfisher7660]

Actually you did you put 2 Poles on each end of your blade don't rising up and a patrol magnet deal that you usually usually use owner and you made it work

[@LAKESIDEBOB1]

How to modify your grader blade to make it laser semi controlled. Do what I did with the D3 blade, for the grader blade on the end of each end so it does not interfere with sliding, weld on a platform bracket that a steel tube that fits the laser receiver can be temp. mounted, mine is bolted on, the tube is welded to a steel plate with angle brackets to keep tube straight over time, this plate is bolted to the bracket welded to blade. washers can be used if need to angle one way or another, I used four bolts. On the back side of the grader blade the skid steer side, weld on each end a bracket I use steel angle that a Rieker Inc. half circle level can be bolted to ( so when Kleeman does some thing to the Rieker level it can be E-Z to replaced. ) Sorry Kleeman the devil made me do it. :) You get picked on too much. Model of Rieker; NCR-19-3-002 Inclinometer +/_ 10 degrees, Scale 1 degree, Black; it is build to meet military specifications that's why I chose a Rieker. Then you have a blade that one man can control elevation with laser receiver on steel tube and level to ground with the two Rieker levels. When the blade is angled it is had to see only one Rieker level if it is away from the operator that's the reason for two. If yo need a photo I can email it. Works great.

Hey Mike I'm just curious why the builder didn't have you scrape the sod off for the building pad? Here on the other side of the country we always scrape all of the vegetation off and on building pads we almost always dig out all of the soil until we hit gravel and then backfill it with gravel to grade.

[@DirtPerfect]

No top soil there

[@paulcoote3094]

How do you know your holding the laser staff straight up and down?? Wouldn't that impact the level? Or is there an indicator on the laser receiver? Camera angle made it look like it was leaning...
