Excavation using iDig Grade Control

- 4Kequipment set us up with some grade control! One of the great things about this kit is I can also switch it over to the cat in a matter of minutes! I’ve been using it for a couple months now and it’s great. This is the first foundation I’ve dug with it but it’s great for doing septics as well. I now don’t have to get out of the machine to lay out any part of the septic or shoot any grades. Using the measure feature I can measure out my septic bed using the bucket, it measures in any direction you move the machine which is really cool. I’m using a laser on this job but I don’t even set up my laser when digging my septic beds now. Also comes in handy for digging in sewer lines and building rock walls.
Feel free to message me with any questions about the idig and I can help you get set up with one.
Yeah… I love loading trucks. Never gets old.
I grew up vacationing in the Muskokas. I'm an operator in Alberta now and love your content. So cool to see the barge work and all the other stuff your company does. Keep up the great videos!
Absolute masterfully delivered content. Thank you for capturing your work in such a descriptive and engaging way.
Thanks!
Yeaah buddy finaly some construction content and winter is just around the corner🤟
I know I’ve been slacking lol haha
Cool video and nice editing...
Nice! Like the different camera angles
I wanted you to know that you inspired me to do what you do my job!
WOW.. close call with those power lines , i was using track mode with mine one time, and the same thing happened ..soo lucky lol
love your videos, cant wait for the sledding content!
Same here dude!
Honestly can't wait till your snowmobiling season
Another one I missed, well, I am catching up now. Those rounded boulders and that gravel, if there was ever gold around there it sure looks just by stratigraphy that that would be a good place to look. Except you live where it is flat, but then where did river rounded boulder of that size come from? I know the glaciation brought them in and left them somewhere near, but to get that shape they had to be in either a steep or a powerful river, and I don't see many mountains in your area.
Maybe they were rounded in the region where they were from and then brought all the way down from the mountains and what you have hit an ancient moraine?
That last one, just took me a min to figure it out.
Goood Morning!☀️Thank you so much!
Whats the Idig item with the lights on it by your right knee close to the windshield? Do the sensors on the stick and boom seem pretty tough?
Nevermind, I asked too early and see you explained it around 25:30
Yea they seem to be tough, I’ve done some hard digging with no issues
I hope that drone saw and avoided those powerlines versus just getting damn lucky and missing them.
I think it got lucky 😂😂
I’ve got the perfect project for those rocks!
Ok, 60$ a ton hahaha
@@freeriderearthworks8889 done! free delivery to Atlanta, GA right? 😆
Haha you bet, I’ll send the heli to make it quick even
Who did you buy your I dig system through? I’m also in Ontario looking into the system for my excavation company
Nice work. You should take a pan and look for gold on the top of that clay any time you find big rocks there might be big gold. Or really red or black layers. If you find boulders of quarts all together its the mother load under it. Keep an eye out for them nuggets.
I tried once but I don’t think there’s any gold around here aha
Do you still like your iDig system?
how much does that system cost? There seems to be no published pricing for it.
I had a quote given to me for over 9k…
hey I'm interested in the idig system where would I be able to get one?
12k unit? Matt does it save you the time to make the cost worth it?
For me, 100%
Like I said I’m usually solo so not having to constantly get out of the machine to check grade or set grade is a massive time saver. Even if you have a grade man it’s more efficient
How often do you grease your shovel?
245 has an auto greaser
But I’d say every 8 hours for other equipment
nice work and nice machine. i have a 340 cat and i notice all the new ones the door wont shut properly. i think its because the cabs are so are tight. If you have the window open a crack you'll notice it will shut easy. looking at getting an idig system for my other machine since cat has that stock but i'm sure the cost of the cat system would be way over priced if you figure out what they added on the cost you pay from the dealer
Where is that 4k equipment company based out of?
Washington I believe
Hello boy!!!
Song name?
Good morning Matt !!! Big Rocks 🪨 = Nice landscaping features😉.
Have an awesome day buddy 👊.
Thanks Denis, you too 👊
Do you have a dealer’s number that I can contact? Definitely interested in a system like this!
Contact 4K equipment and tell them I sent you. I can’t find the contact in my emails right now
@@freeriderearthworks8889 purchased mine from them couple months ago, I'm from Saskatchewan, Canada 😂
