Very cool and well done. I'm a retired U.S. Marine and am just getting started in this kind of work. I have picked up a lot from your videos. Thanks man
+Dirt Ninja good deal! I bought a 32" for typical pipe work and a 54" for heavy moving. Never looked back. Do you guys have too much rocky material to run spade teeth on your bucket? We always run spades and makes a huge difference in final surface!
+Dirt Ninja Amazing how the earth materials are different in different places in the country. All sand and clay here, only rock we run into is field stones
hay your pretty good at you job .if you don't mined me of asking but where did you get your training I'm really interested in getting some training on a wheel loader sorry I'm not a good speller.
now that looks easy! then getting in a out, in a out of the excavator many times? although I never done that before. so I wouldn't know how it works? but fom the video it looks like it might be easy.? but so great video of that. you do great.
For a replacement septic system thats unusual. We had ours redone and its an "engineered system" that uses these black plastic pieces/boxes that fit together for the leach fields. They also put in a new septic tank and liquid tank which is then pumped into the leach fields. Was space an issue on this job? If so would you normally use those boxes? Or did they catch it before it failed?
+Mike Buffing It had failed. The original system was a stone and pipe system. The replacement was a stone and pipe system. This system was also engineered by a septic designer. I just follow the design and install the system. I dont do any designs. There was nothing usual about this system. It was a pain, especially with it being re-designed twice midway through construction.
hey just wondering how your picking up the jobs your doing. advertising, referrals, your families company? curious just because I would like to strike out on my own possibly someday but worry about getting enough work. thanks!
After sitting home for 3 months this winter, i'm thinking that i can't do it next year also. Gonna try to get a job as a excavator operator from a another company. Have you started with interstate jobs now?
We done a lot of digging last year putting drains in around the farm and with our excavator and tractors my girlfriend said men don’t grow up our toys just get bigger and more expensive

+Dirty Dug Awesome! Thank you for your service and thanks for watching!
Good video I do a lot of filter beds in southern Maine never seen a pipe in stone bed put in like that.
Need a wider bucket for sure, I have 315cl have runs a 48" bucket in rocking clay with no problem.
Great system, we have the Integrated system on our 323. get a bigger bucket when you rent man! save some money and time!!!
+Matthew Gillett haha, im going to work on them to give me a bigger one when I rent. This one is definitely small!

+Matthew Gillett Yea way too rocky here.

Do you always need the laser for this system
" I do do septic systems." I caught that.

+419friedtoast Families company, referrals and I work for a few builders so I get a lot from them.
You'd think the Marketing departments at Cat and Trimble would set you up with a few hats and shirts.
+VideosByAl I have a Trimble hat on in the video! And yes they have sent me more apparel than I know what to do with. haha

+thequattro20v Yes, started with Interstate last week.
So with a bigger machine like that why don't u just use the large mud bucket ?? A lot more ground comes out making it faster.
I agree
We done a lot of digging last year putting drains in around the farm and with our excavator and tractors my girlfriend said men don’t grow up our toys just get bigger and more expensive
if u have more cat shirts and tremble hats u should sell them online by making your own website
+hayden lancaster I dont think they would appreciate me selling the hats and shirts they are giving me!
O I didnt think about that
+Dirt Ninja do you still work for interstate landscaping?
+Dylan Chalmers Yes
