thanks for watching :)
You have always had great shots. Sometimes it does help to see what your hands are doing when you are operating.
Yeah I have thought about that too, maybe I will experiment with that
Zombies better watch out !!! I guess Cat made you an offer for the 285 that you couldn't refuse !!!
Spoilers……. All the answers are coming:). Thanks for watching!
Thanks for sharing your day with us !!! Looking forward for the coming spring adventures!!!
Me too! Thanks for watching and commenting
Nice setup.
Thanks, looking forward to getting some stuff done with it. Have a great week!
👍
Good to see ya. Thanks for watching and have a great week :)
Gave you a sub from Upstate New York
Thank you! Stay warm up there.
Awesome work!!! Do u prefer using the box blade than the front loader? Thanks for sharing!👍
Yes, on the tractor, I pretty much just use the box blade for grading, and the front end loader for moving material around. That works well for me, but I have seen people do really well with the bucket too. I guess it is really just about what you feel comfortable and get the best results with. Thanks for watching!
@@DirtAndRocks 👍
Good editing and good stories. You have been doing this for a while.
I really appreciate that very much. Thank you for taking the time to post the comment, and thanks much for watching!
I like how you removed the barb wire much better that cutting it out. Just subscribed today. My excavator is a little smaller 3 1/2 ton Bob Cat E35
I was just sitting here thinking about doing a video on the first excavator I ever ran, a bobcat 331….distant ancestor of the e35, and the reason that to this day, I still run the backhoe control pattern. This was back in the mid 90s. Old habits hard to break I guess, lol. Thanks for the sub, glad you found the channel!
Finish cut looks great 👍🏻
Thanks much for watching and for the comment!
Love the real life information , thanks!!!
You bet! Thanks for watching!
Great information !!!
Thanks! Appreciate it very much :)
That’s a nice combination. Seems to get the job done. Thanks for sharing and I hope you had a great Thanksgiving.
@@ProudPapaw88 hey thanks! Hope you had a great holiday too :)
I have a Rut Manufacturing Brush Cutter. It works great! Even on small diameter trees without feeling like you are being too hard on the machine. I’m running it on my Kubota SVL-75-2
Awesome! Thanks for watching and commenting :)
👍
Thanks for watching!
good video....
Thanks for watching and commenting!
Awesome work! Im glad the barb wire didnt destroy the cutter... thanks for sharing!👍
yeah for sure. That was a mess to clear up. Thanks so much for watching and commenting :)
You make t look so easy with that hydraulic top link !!!
Thank you so much, that thing is really a life saver. I used to hate the box blade until I figured out that was the key to the whole thing. Thanks for watching and commenting :)
Very nice looking yard you have there.
It's getting there. I always feel like it is not quite right, lol. Thanks for watching and commenting :)
Love driveway repair process! It's always the best!
Great to see you in the comments again Aaron! Thanks for watching :)
@DirtAndRocks I'm still here and a huge fan of you and the channel!
👍
Thanks for stopping by! Glad to see you and thanks for watching and getting the comments going :)
dayum, i thought for sure we could go along to get the big trailer.
Yeah, I thought about it, but the seller wasn't really up for it, which I can understand.
I Love the Kubota KX040-4 Great machine. Nice job. Roads are probably the most fun IMO.
Yeah I enjoy doing them too. I have been very happy with the 40, it has been a great machine thus far. Thanks so much for watching and commenting :)
I have a 4 foot Construction Attachments bush hog on my my KX-057. th-cam.com/video/IRBW1LUphTM/w-d-xo.htmlsi=grqRJCABu6EhwZco It cuts real good. But it will throw stuff into the middle of next week.
Nice! Thanks for watching!
test your hydraulic pressure, I'm betting you can bump it up to the high side of the factory recommended settings and help with your cutter.
Appreciate it! Thanks for watching and commenting :)
You have that place looking good. That fencing you got in is horrible. I got in to a bunch of tv cable once and it was a mess lol. Great video. Thanks for sharing and have a great day.
Yeah that sounds like a nightmare, lol. It was an experience for sure getting that thing apart and back together. Thanks for watching and commenting each week. I really appreciate it!
We can tell you you are the owner, not wanting to scratch up the other machine !!! Great content !!!
heheheh, yeah this stuff is too pricey to tear up. Thanks for watching and commenting! Great to see you in the comments :)
Looking soo much better !!!
it's getting there....little by little! Thanks for watching and commenting every week. I really appreciate it :)
👍
Nice to see you in the comments as always! Thanks much for watching :)
If you could only have a skid steer or excavator,what would you get?
Excavator, hands down. But that is just me. And I think a lot of it depends on what kind of work you want to do.
Great video!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching and commenting :)
Great job. Keep up the good work. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching! Have a great week :)
I think it's cool that you can scout the area with the drone !!!
yeah, they are fun to use, and it is nice to get the lay of the land. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Looking good!!!
Appreciate it! Thanks for watching!
👍
Thanks for watching and commenting!
Nice work! Please consider a new place to mount your camera in the cab so that the back of your head doesn’t fill so much of the frame and we can see what the bucket is doing a little better.
thanks, i have experimented with several spots in that 4 ton, but the cab is so small, it is a struggle. Will keep tinkering with it to see what we can do. Appreciate you watching.
@ @jeramyreberpuredirt7873 uses the same machine and seems to have the position pretty well figured out. He seems like a decent fella so he might be willing to share what he uses. That said, I like the way that you mix in outside views as you’re talking as well as for time lapses. Keep up the good work!
@@markscureman5278 yes, I am familiar with his channel, thanks again.
Nice work, this looks way better than a desk job any day.
Sunshine and fresh air….good for the soul :). Thanks for watching!
I see a large culvert install in their future!!!
Oh I wish...unfortunately, I think we will end up with a bridge about 1000 feet down from where I made that temporary crossing. Thanks for watching!
Great job. Can't wait to see the rest
Yeah, this is going to be a process for sure :). Thanks for watching!
Are you done with the Cat 306 demo?
yeah, I did a gravel pad with the 306 and the track loader maybe a couple videos back. Went ahead and took it back after that since my TB285 is about done getting the arm rebuilt. Great machine for sure!
Great job! Thanks for sharing and have a great day.
Thank you! You too!
Nicely done, 36 inch bucket made quick work of that job.
Thanks! I have debated getting a rake for this thing, but I really don't know that it would have been any better. Appreciate you watching and commenting!
@@DirtAndRocks fwiw the 30" blue diamond excavator rake on my kx040 is a super productive attachment for me. Grubbing, cleanup etc Added chain hook and d-ring and it became the go to lifter bc I can see thru it
@@particularlybad Thank you! that is helpful info for me. Appreciate you watching and commenting
Good times

Cool info on the Moasure. I’ve been seeing a lot of those advertisements too. Been thinking about trying it also…

Thanks! And thank you for watching and commenting:)
You make it look soooo easy !!! Keep the great videos coming.
Must be the editing, lol. This one actually went pretty well. Thanks for watching!
