    @letsdig18 Superb Job! Very impressive. I'm a Greenkeeper at a Golf Course in Scotland & have never witnessed contractors with your pride & finishing touches. Great job!

    That little dump trailer was the perfect gadget. Kinda neat set-up. Like your new compactor too. 👍

    It can be seen that you are a master of your trade in everything you do, Chris! The beginning of today's video was so calm and relaxed for me because you unloaded things from the truck and swapped the shovels of the excavator so precisely and completely relaxed, as if you were dealing with fragile things. Most of the time I almost fall asleep while watching. 😴
    That's why I like to watch your videos and at your work. ☺️

    Now it's maybe time for you Chris to look at Dynaset HVB all implement vibrator. You place it on stick and give you vibration for your compactor but also grading bucket to compact soil/gravel or loose sticky clay from inside it and a lot more usage. Very nifty thing to make your excavator more versatile. I really love it!

    The roller compactor sure looks like it works great. You sure will get some more jobs at the golf course, after that clean professional job. Golf courses like that neat clean work.

    That roller is going to be a be a real time saver and body saver for you on your jobs. Great investment again on your part. It seemed to pay for itself by having to Not rent a thumper to pack that sand and dirt down. Thanks for bring us along on this job.

  • @ignacio9552
    @ignacio9552 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    I bet you can use the golf course as a clay borrow pit. Dig some shallow but wide borrow pits, dress up the edges, throw some sand in and turn them into bunkers. Spring comes around and the Members are confused why the course was redesigned. Clay is great stuff.

  • @Graeme408
    @Graeme408 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    I was a little skeptical about the little compactor but now I totally get it. As many boxes are put in every day I sure hope they gave that to you! That is the perfect attachment for the perfect job. That box will not ever shift out. Of place. Nice to see the compactor at work.

    • @2xKTfc
      @2xKTfc 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yeah that drum seems to pack it in and rip it back out in the same pass. Technically a multi-purpose tool I guess? Something vibrating with a quick connect that has a valve block in it would help a lot. And be easier to manage because you don't have to line up the trench with the boom in order to move it over the work area.

    • @randywilson6869

      A tilt rotator is the way to go. I am starting to wonder about tracks or wheels too. I notice that so many places r now going to a wheel hoe and even pull the trailer. It would cut down on your bob cat thing

    • @jcgoogle1808
