Enjoyed the video.very interesting for a fella like me that doesn't drive a digger and allways be wondering about makeing lanes and yards. What stone You use and different soils. How much You have dig out and what You have to put in. Long text.sorry.👍
One little tip if your using a non tilting bucket is when your not sitting level is track back down the hill where you were level and push the material ahead to create pad
No bother for the gradient if you want a slope say if you wanted an 1"fall from left to right. You level your pad first always leaving a bit high then fill the left side of your grading bucket sprinkle under where you left track will be . Then have required tilt on the bucket keep working you way up the hill flicking the stone away from you or pulling some in and flick it away or track and push leaving the material high but it will be at the same slope as we're you originally started . And then slew around start pulling the required grade . The key to grading is having a starting point meaning tracks are level or on a camber once you have that sorted you can work off that . But I still agree s tilting is a very handy tool but it can still be done 👍
That’s them, thanks Mike, yes, I’ve had one of the older ones that I reused snap off from vibration at the bottom plastic part so I’ve to replace it but it’s an easy job with a plug and play loom system now!
@@connormcmahon3724 ah yeah, I’d like to buy a machine similar to yours or your previous machine, for the same work, just around our own farm, and if I got any other work it would just be a bonus, but every video I see, I realise there is just so much that can wear and go wrong in them 😅 must be hard to buy a good machine
@@ORiordan124 Yes, difficult if your not used to them and what the usual issues are. There also is a lot of upkeep on them but if you can manage to do the majority of repairs yourself then it’s manageable. Getting maintenance done from a plant mechanic is very expensive and wouldn’t be very feasible for a small operation. There’s also unforeseen failures that no one can pick up on but that’s just general luck of the draw! Best of luck👍🏼
Thanks for reminding me, it completely slipped my mind even though I have done some paperwork on The hydraulic circuits for that video! Will try do that for you asap! 👍🏼

Thanks for that, will keep that in mind too! All the tips come in handy at different times depending on the job, great to hear them!

Will u do that video of piping the digger for a hammer. I like your videos. I learn a lot from them.
