Good thing you had rain... normally (this time of the year) it would have taken a full day just excavating the ditch. Nicely done. Watching you try to scoop up those stones reminded me of my childhood.... coming home from school with a pocket full of marbles... trying to fish them out of my pocket... stubby little fingers... wooden floors.. that weren’t level... don’t think I ever found them all!
What a nice machine that new TB260 is! Add the grading bucket and it's a game changer IMHO. Looking good Brandon, another 1st class job! Have a safe and happy 4th with your friends and family. Doug@ the "ranch"
lakesideranch thank you! Yeah it’s fantastic! I should have got the grading bucket years ago lol! Definitely a game changer. Have a great 4th too!! Thanks again
That came out lookin' pretty darn sharp. It's obvious how much you hate that big bucket LOL! When you said that wrapped this job up I said: no, you Rip-Rapped it up!
You have done a amazing work 💼 on the piacing Rip Rap the Ditch I love ❤️ your video 📷 the are so amazing I can't wait for the next video 📷 #placingtTheDitch
Definitely adds to the curb appeal. I plan on doing this with my relatively small culvert, about 20' long. That black fabric, it'll stop the grass from growing up through and making it look ugly later?
@@eliteearthworksllc Thanks. Is there a brand you recommend? I don't ever want to deal with weeds/grass coming up through the rip-rap, at least not for some number of years. I'm reading about this brand Dewitt.
That came out really nice. You can tell you really take pride in your work. :) Your grass at the start of the video looks awesome. I'm a lawn nut and I know good grass. LOL.
Brandon, Nice work as always, they should be happy. Why don't you haul both the skidsteer and your excavator to your jobs? You might not of thought of that. You have a Takeuchi Right? A pretty shiny new one? You're an adventurous person? Right? Willing to take a few risks? Right? Do you speak Croatian? Slovakian? You can haul the excavator in the back of the dump truck. It's simple. It's done all of the time. Watch the videos below for the special loading instructions. You can thank me later :) Links below.
I have Rip Rap in the ditch that goes between my house and the road. I have a concrete driveway for my garage but also want to be able to back an RV into my side yard which means it has to go over the Rip Rap. Not too good for tires, I don't think! I don't want to put in a second concrete driveway unless I have to. Any ideas on what I could do to make the Rip Rap navigable for backing an RV trailer in over and beyond it into my side yard?
I would put 1”-1,5” clean rock over the rip rap when you want to back your rv in. It will be smaller for the tires but also let water run through it like the rip rap does
For the landscape fabric try the manufacturer called Synthetic Industry in Chickamauga Georgia they are one of the companies that makes it and it is the same thing as primary backing used to make carpet
I like your shingle top on your building. Most metal buildings have a metal roof which eventually leak water. Can you explain how you constructed your building? I want one similar. Did you build it yourself?
Looks good. That was a really unique and weird situation with those culverts terminating right there, I didn't see the drain down by the building a first and was wondering, what the? I've got a driveway on a grade that I have slightly angle towards the ditch so all the water runs down one side, that side meets a bank and I have a nice ditch, but with a lot of trees in the area, between erosion and leaves etc.. I have to clean it annually. Was thinking of cleaning it out and filling with rip rap, but also thought it would probably eventually plug up? Do you think that size rip rap will eventually fill with sediment and need to be redone? Thanks
Thank you! It will fill with a little bit of sediment but it will take a long time. The good thing about rip rap is that it can handle quite a bit of sediment before it plugs up so you should be good. Appreciate you watching
Would it have been easier to place the rip rap in front with the loader? How far was the site from where you store your equipment? It would sure be nice to bring both machines with you all the time. I am affraid that the water will miss the catch basin in a heavy rain, might need to build a berm to keep the water from blowing over the top of the catch basin.
Brian Gardiner yeah it would have been easier to get it to the ditch with the loader but it was an 1.5 hour round trip. I did explain all that I’m the video I just didn’t have to go back that day and get the loader
@@eliteearthworksllc That is what I get for watching TV while watching videos. I think the same company that built the excavator buckets also makes 4-1 buckets. Just sayin LOL
Great looking job on the placement Brandon. You do know they make a longer trailer or I've even heard they can magically build trailers to fit your needs. Maybe that is cookies and Keebler Elves, but either way you will figure out what your needs are as time goes bye. The Paul Bunyan sequence was a classic.
Mark M thank you! Yes I’m eventually going to get a tandem truck and longer trailer. I’ll need a 30’ deck so it will basically be a triple axle 40’ trailer so I’ll need a bigger more powerful truck. Thanks again
@@eliteearthworksllc Wasn't sure if the truck would pull that and handle a load if needed. One thing at a time, getting pretty skilled with the new bucket and that takes some of the load off the skid steer. Have a great holiday coming up, hope the weather lets you enjoy it.
Now if u ad a roto to it . Do u ever watch that guy with a roto with a grapple on it ? I keep thinking he is going to pick up a broom with it and sweep at the en
Really turned out good looks like you took tree trimming lessons from Jason works alot and yeah you better not scratch it up cause the CEO Mrs elite might ground you from it lol. Keep up the great videos
Wait so..... People with heavy machinery dont only work when it's raining leaving HUGE ruts in every piece of land they can and doing donuts to "level out" the hole? I swear where I live we have the worst companies they all destroy every property they touch. I got hit by Micheal (had 17 trees removed during a rain storm) and like 6 months before that I had my septic redone. RIP my property you cant walk across my front yard without damn near breaking your ankle every half step.
Chasing The Fish that’s aggravating man. I try to leave places better than they were before I started. I did landscaping for 18 years so finish work is my thing. But yes we have companies here that just worry about their one job and tear the hell out of stuff
Chasing The Fish lol no worries man people around piss me off too because no one cares anymore. They have their one job to do and won’t fix anything back. Yeah I went a little crazy on the yard. Thanks again
You did it all wrong you’re supposed to spin around with the skidder so you tear up grass and dirt then you are supposed to leave piles of rock in the ditch and the random rock for the mower to hit laying around dam rookies 👎
Robert Pugliese thank you! Sitting the way I had it kept me out of the other lane plus changed the angle a bit on the boom and kept it from hitting the tree limbs. Thanks again

Brandon you're a Pro. And your Professionalism shows!!!
GREAT JOB!!! 👍👍
Silver Grizzly thank you sir!👍🏻
Am I the only crazy person that loves the sound of Rip Rap hitting each other and hitting the dump truck and the excavator bucket moving it?
I like the sounds of it too
I love the sound and the appearance of Rip Rap! GREAT video!
Thank you! I like working with rip rap
Love this video and the usage of Rip rqp...Rap.... both looks and sounds great!
Thank you!
That job turned out very nice. Good video. The big bucket was a very good idea for the excavator.
walter mattson thank you! Yeah I love this grading bucket
Like I said, you do really good work, would recommend you to anyone, great job!

Patrick Quitter thank you!
Definitely adds to the curb appeal. I plan on doing this with my relatively small culvert, about 20' long. That black fabric, it'll stop the grass from growing up through and making it look ugly later?
Yes it keeps the grass and weeds and separated from the rock
@@eliteearthworksllc Thanks. Is there a brand you recommend? I don't ever want to deal with weeds/grass coming up through the rip-rap, at least not for some number of years. I'm reading about this brand Dewitt.
@mattscott7871 that’s probably the one I would go with. I think that’s what my supplier gets but i would have to look at the ticket to be sure
That came out really nice. You can tell you really take pride in your work. :) Your grass at the start of the video looks awesome. I'm a lawn nut and I know good grass. LOL.
Brian thank you! Yes I’m a bit picky lol! And thank you I’m the grass I go a bit overkill on it but I want to dominate 🤣

Looks good!
Rod Fair thank you!
Looks nice
Thank you!
Rip rap Sustainable method is very much needed on both sides of highways in bharath as there is lot of soil erosion problems adjacent to our highways.
Rip rap really makes a big difference
You sure do get a lot of rain. Here in Southern Arizona we get around 5” for the whole year.
Wow that’s crazy! Last year we got 5’ of rain lol
If only they made a machine like a loader and an excavator on the same chasis😱😂
Brian Webber lol that would just be crazy oh wait I think I’ve seen such a thing 🤣
so nice, amazing, blue sky

are you required to put up signage and cones when closing a lane of traffic?

Do you ever pull material out of your truck with your machine? I had to ask because I constantly do.
DIGGINSKILLS I do once in awhile mostly with dirt
Heli tape the boom and the stick it would reduce the smaller scratches i use it on my moutian bike frames to cut down on rock chips
gavin hirt that’s a great idea thank you!
@@eliteearthworksllc just don't tell chris lol and do the counter weight also
gavin hirt lol will do! That’s a great idea too

what type of fabric did you put down first?
It’s a geo textile fabric like road fabric
what fabric is used under rip rap? I s it the same fabric used on shoreline? thanks.

How many tons can you haul on that Corn Binder? Class A or B riprap?
david bailey the truck can haul 9.5 tons and I’m not sure on the rip rap didn’t know they had a class lol
Now if u ad a roto to it . Do u ever watch that guy with a roto with a grapple on it ? I keep thinking he is going to pick up a broom with it and sweep at the en
Yeah he is amazing with that machine!
Did you run any slope on the channel or just eye slope?
Just did it by eye
You help Chris frok letdig19 ask him where he gets his rolls of fabric from I guess your in the same state,
I’m in Missouri but I found a place to get it
Nice work! Thanks for sharing. Did the dump truck leave wicked ruts in the lawn?

Well done sir. I got to ask where are you located?

it is a good option so that the children do not step on the grass with their bicycles
Adrian that is true lol

can also prevent a car from crossing now that I think about it
I heard you say two loads of rip rap. How many tons are in a load?
Around 16 tons
your perfection shows as allways

I'm pretty sure there is a third party seller on Loggerwade.com who has the large rolls of fabric lol. Nice job Brandon.
