    I like the way you position the digger off line of the excavation cut and rotate the cab so you can see the cut ! Handy tip

      Yes it works well, especially when you're in a tight spot. Thanks for watching and commenting 👍

    I cut 16m2 square at deep of 35 cm. manually, spend approx. 10 hours for that and absolutely for free. I'm 52 years old men :)

    Does the driver normally dispose the the soil for this kind of service?

      Yes the driver would normally take it away for you. Thanks for watching

      It took 2 days, one day to dig out and 1 day to pave it. Thanks for commenting

      Thanks for watching. It took about 8hrs or so, I had a long drive to the place I dump it, about 45mins round trip so that took the longest. 👍

      I usually give one fixed price for doing everything so it's hard to say. It depends on where you live as well, but you can usually charge good rates. I can't remember the exact price I charged for this one but roughly about £600 for digging out and removal of soil. Good luck with everything

      @@IHustleHard416 I have a very small excavation business that I started about a year and a half ago if you want to know more about it. I'd be happy to give some advice and anecdotes.

    Butt clenching Moment getting the digger off the trailer !

      😂 It sure was! There's a lot of flex in those timber ramps, I'll have to make a set of metal ones!

      You should never unload an Excavator that way. There's no reason for doing it like that. You can hurt yourself. Besides, you can mitigate the flex in the ramps easily. Either way, good luck with your project.

    3 minutes of unloading and driving to the site. Not helpful. Then the wheelbarrow was in the camera's line of sight. Finally informative at 3:14 mark.
