Digging A Very Rocky Basement With The Takeuchi TB2150

- Digging a very rocky basement with the Takeuchi TB2150. I started out clearing a few more trees this morning so I could later dig the walk out part of the basement. Once those were cleared out I roughed it a bit then started digging the perimeter of the basement. The basement will have 10' ceilings in it so I need to dig down another 6' This area turns out to be the rockiest part of the site. I was hoping to have my new Felco ripper before I started this job but it's still a few weeks out. So it looks like I'll be going through a few sets of teeth. Thanks for watching! #EliteEarthworks #Takeuchi #diggingabasement
Nice, nothing like the sound of new teeth getting ground down to nubs!!!😁
🤣🤣 no kidding

Thank you! I’m excited to work on it
Coming over from Adler Farms. Looking forward to seeing your videos.
Thank you! I appreciate you checking out the channel
Well, that "dirt" makes for beautifully sharp edges/corners, but you must be going through teeth like a dentist on steroids! I know you did this work a while back, but as someone who has to live with a 4 - 5 foot "crawlspace" I hope the builder talks them into doing a full basement. Working down there while constantly at a 45 degree (or more) angle is a ROYAL pain. Dig deeper or build higher I say!
It does make nice sharp edges. They are going to do a bigger basement now but still part is crawl space. The homeowner is 85 but he has a guy that works for him that will be the one to go under the house lol
It’s like you are digging with a 100 hp spoon. That’s some hard stuff.
Lol yes it was
Hi I'm here from Adler Farms (Chad) sent me

Hi... Chad from Adler Farms sent me over to check you out!

T know you went thru a dozen teeth on that job. Looking good. And a pain in the butt digging but sometimes it happens.
Yeah it’s part of it. Appreciate you watching
Hello Brandon. I came over from Adler Farms. Chad said Howdy. Hope you can do some work for him.
Thank you! Appreciate you checking out the channel. I plan on meeting him next week
You were making good base rock
That is for sure. I have lots of it lol
How are the new teeth doing. If you can sell them about 10 loads of gravel, you are are great salesman. 👍👍
They are worn out and I’ve already got another set 🤣🤣
Came over to say HI. Just watched Chad from Adler Farms :)
Thank you!
There goes another set of teeth
Yep 🤣 they lasted 35 hours going a new set to put on
Howdy, came over from Adler Farms

I'm new to your channel. Chad Doss with Adler Farms sent us over.
Awesome thank you!
I’m a sub of Chad at Adler farms and he was talking about his pond/damn on his land and he sent me over. I subbed to your channel! I enjoy watching this kind of content and looking forward to watching your videos!
Thank you! I appreciate you checking out the channel! I look forward to working with him on his pond.
Hey just subscribed to your channel. Chad from Adler Farms sent me.
Awesome thank you!
we have material like that out here in Southern California we used it when I was a kid
when pop was doing construction
we actually used it to fill in around the footings to pour the slab on top of it
the material out here I don't know if it's the same as back there but out here it's called decomposed granite stuff is like concrete once you get it wet and pack it
Yep that’s what we use it here for as well. It’s like concrete
Well Chad sent me over. I thought I would check out a home town area guy. Enjoyed your content.
Thank you! I appreciate that! 👍🏻
Subbed, sent by Chad at Adler Farms
Awesome thank you!
@@eliteearthworksllc you`re welcome! I can`t wait to check out your channel
Hi Brandon. Chad sent me over. I hope you can help him with his pond. I subscribed and look forward to seeing you moving dirt around! Love from California
Thank you! I appreciate you checking out the channel. I plan to go look at his job next week
I thought about you yesterday. I put a French drain across the front of an airplane hanger, it was about 300 ft of digging. Beautiful red clay and only found one rock about the size of a softball. I thought, I bet Brandon would love to see this every once in a while. Can't wait to see that ripper at work.
🤣🤣 that would be amazing! I probably wouldn’t know what to do. I’m excited for the ripper to get here I think it will get some attention 😁
Came over from Adler Farms. Look forward to what you recommend for his pond and dam.
Awesome thank you!
Hi. From Adler Farms
Hello!
Still not as bad as south Florida. Of course we do not have basements because if you dig a few feet down you hit water. I guess with the flimsy wood framed construction you have there people do not want trees anywhere near their home. That stuff you are digging looks almost like a road base.
Oftentimes, folks don’t even scrape the 1” of topsoil off. They just pile more dirt on top of it. Instant driveway!!!
I'm thinking the owners are remembering the F5 tornado that tried to level the city. I'd want a tornado shelter too.
Man that’s crazy! You wouldn’t think in Florida it would be that tough. Glad to hear the hurricane missed you. Appreciate you watching
@@eliteearthworksllc - I think it’s mostly limestone. Like sections of Texas, you get down a couple of feet there and it’s a boulder the size of Montana!! 😂😂. As far as I have seen in tv and TH-cam. I like watching channels for pool builds. In our area, it hard to get anyone to do an in ground pool anymore. Short season, anything really elaborate (aka nice) is a 2 year build and it’s a very real consideration to fully enclose whatever you build for more use and greater longevity. $$$$$.
Another tangent,, sorry. 😅
First Comment 👍🇺🇸
Phew! You had me nervous bud. I thought you had napped right through it!!!
👍🏻
Howdy
Hello!
Welcome to howdy Brandon.... LOL
Thank you 😁
This is excellent Friday night entertainment! It is amazing how the excavator pushes those trees over. Great job on the basement and crawlspace dig! Very well done Brandon! Thank you for sharing with us!
Thanks man! It’s got some power! Appreciate you watching
@@eliteearthworksllc your welcome!
That was a tough one for sure thanks Brandon.
Yes it was. Appreciate you watching
Have you ever tried rock teeth on the bucket? I have heard mixed reviews from people using them, some loved them said the only way to go and others were not that impressed. Of course, no two jobs are going to be in the exact same conditions, so I have no clue one way or the other really. What I do see, is it seems like mixed loose gravel sized stone but it sounds like you are digging in solid rock and looks like it judging by what you are able to break free in each pass. But you are able to break it to get there, so I ask if you have ever tried them because I think that the added pressure from those types of teeth may help.
Either way, still hard digging.
Thanks for the videos.
I haven’t tried them on this bucket but on my 260 I have them. I have the tiger and twin tiger teeth. They do make a difference but wear out extremely fast in this rock. I was going to get a set for this bucket because of this job but they couldn’t get them quick enough. I have found the best combo is a ripper then using the bucket to clean it out. My new ripper will be here in 3 weeks 🤣 always a day late and dollar short
I think I would be calling around to find a dozer with a ripper to help. Sure get nice straight walls and square corners. Shouldn’t have to worry about walls caving in.
I’ve actually got a dozer rented I’m bringing over there Monday 😁
Yes, very hard ground lol
It’s terrible
Buy a ripper espcially with ground like that
Yes my new ripper will be here in 2-3 weeks. I have one for my smaller excavator
Wow that is one fantastic machine I just wondering is it computer run or computer assist
Thanks it’s not computer ran for sure
HOWDY
Hello!
Adler farm turned me on to your channel
Is the rock coming out of the ground yours? Will you sell it?
I’ll probably end up using it on this site for the courtyards
Wow-There sure is some nasty soil in your part of MO.!!!!
It’s terrible we grow rocks 🤣
You might have to upgrade to tungsten to make it through this job… you’ll have those teeth worn to the gums!
Those oaks are even harder when they are thirsty. I was watching you break the limbs. It sounded like timbers snapping.
The only good news is… no rain and cooler temps for the next 10 days. I’m posting a video in the morning that’ll show how bad it was at the end of July… all of the rain we’ve had here, since then, is less than 2”. I like it cool and dry for cutting firewood… but digging?
I can’t afford the teeth!
BTW… that first corner was pretty near Frank quality!!!
I think I might have too these aren’t going to make it. The ground is unreal how hard it is. That’s crazy only 2” I hope we get some rain before winter hits. Thank you! This stuff does make nice corners lol
Howdy Brandon..... @Adler Farms sent me over. You got yourself a new sub
Awesome thank you!
First? Where are you DC?
Think we posted at the same time….i was kinda lagging 🤷♂️
Nice!
Hey Brandon, I’m here from Adler Farms. Hope you can help him out! New sub. Looks interesting here.👍
Awesome thank you! I’m looking forward to his project
Would you call the dirt you're digging in this vijid "chirt" like DP's got in Indiana?
It’s probably pretty close it’s our rocky red clay.
That looks like fun, NOT!
🤣 it made for a long day!
😂😂 No sense talking about the rock!! I think that’s been covered on this video,,,, heh heh.
Soooo. How’s the weather?? Looks like you might get a wee bit of rain, but that storm, Ian, may not do much for ya!! I am thinking Chris is going to get his 4-6” plus since the storm is going to go in circles!! Hope it doesn’t keep damaging so much property and blows itself out soon. Hopefully his last pond for the Bealy Goods will be 1/2 full or better!! At 5 acres, it will need a lot of rain and runoff to fill!
So you have a new Ripper coming,,,,,, very nice! You will miss getting it in time for this job, but since you are not likely moving, you will definitely still get your use out of it! It really has to be better. Even just a narrower bucket to dig the perimeter (fewer teeth, more lbs per square inch pressure) would be nice, then use the big bucket to hog out the perimeter. The ripper is going to be best though.
As the business grows and develops you are gradually getting all the necessary tools. No sense getting what you won’t use. Smart purchases like the ripper tooth, the sheepsfoot packers, both the Felco and self propelled, when identified you WILL use them, pay off pretty quickly. I suspect the packer has almost paid for itself already. Hypothetically at least!
Doing very well Brandon!! I like to see people do well. Good on ya, Eh!
We haven’t got rain for months it’s bone dry here. It is starting to cool off. Yeah I saw he got some rain from it. Yes I was hoping to have the ripper before this job but it just didn’t make it. I’ll have it for the next one 🤣 yes a narrow bucket would even be better than this 42” bucket. Oh yeah the compactor has paid for itself twice by now. Im really glad we got that. Appreciate you watching
