- Loading out the last of the concrete and finishing the demo job. Today I took the pad up the concrete block building was on and we finished hauling everything off. It was 42 loads total 27 loads of wood and debris and 15 loads of concrete. The concrete went pretty quick we were just hauling to the road over. Then I just bladed off the site to the basement hole of the house to help fill that area in and clean the site up. I'll be back soon to get rock on the drive coming into the property then probably start the clearing for the new house. Thanks for watching! #EliteEarthworks #Takeuchi #LoadingConcrete
At 68 years of age I do not know why I am enjoying watching you tear down buildings that are my age. However, I definitely do and I find it interesting. Most definitely I find your ability to use your large equipment to be fascinated. You use tractors and grapplers like I use a calculator. Simply amazing and I want to see more. Again I am watching you tear down an old barn from a year ago so my apologies for giving you old kudos. I'm sure you deserve them for what you're doing a year from these videos. I will be watching and subscribing. And liking of course.
Thank you! I appreciate you checking out the channel. I’ve been running equipment since I was 14 I’ll be 42 in September. I love what I do!
It was relaxing watching the bus that concrete up.
I have an asphalt driveway I need to break up
Thanks man! I enjoyed it! I need to get caught up on your videos
@@eliteearthworksllc seems kind of boring compared to the stuff you do.
I’m just wanting to get into some bigger machines and bigger jobs.
I was just watching digginlife21 and he shouted you out. It was an older video from last year
@@RockhillfarmYT you’ll get there, you’re well on your way! Todd is a good dude
Love the tree broom!!😂
Seems like it’d be really helpful to have another person in your loader to keep your pile cleaned up and centralized
Thanks! The tree works great a mattress does even better
Very professionally done and really glad to see you have this opportunity! This is definitely one of the best demo jobs I have seen! Really appreciate you sharing all the quantities and information too!
Thank you! I appreciate the kind words! I really enjoy the demo stuff nice change of pace!
@@eliteearthworksllc your welcome!
That’s exactly how my dad and I did it… dug a shallow trench around the perimeter with a shovel and pickaxe. Nailed up some old 2X4’s for forms… threw down some Visqueen. Loaded the pickup with chat from the lead mine spoils and started mixing. Took all summer to pour… because we had to wait for the next paycheck every time we ran out of cement!
The only thing we did better was to strip out some hog wire fencing and lay it in for reinforcement mesh. As far as I know… the barn is still standing today!
I would tell you where it is… but, using that chat ain’t legal today. The EPA might be monitoring TH-cam to find their next Superfund cleanup site!
I’ll call my buddy at the wrecker company and see if he still has that old forklift he wenched out of a fence row. It used to sit by his shop with the trunk of the tree still wedged behind the mast. I Haven’t been there for a while… but, I’ll check.
I have a video coming out about how we named Sassafras Valley. Hope to have it out this week.
I enjoyed the concrete mayhem! Nice job shooting it… better pack your rubbers and slicker. Looks like we’re gonna get wet!
Lol yeah you better not say on that 😁 but you are right that stuff is definitely tough. Cool I appreciate that I think it will make a good wrecking ball. Cool I will keep an eye out for that video! Yep I think we are going to get wet
Another great job. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you! Appreciate you watching
It’s a bit ironic that you put out a video of concrete being broke up and I am quite relaxed while you’ll probably need to see a chiropractor after this job 😊😆
🤣🤣 it wasn’t too bad! But yes probably not as relaxed as you
Load first dump truck up, and back it up on slab, that will crack it up.
Lol that would do the trick
It looks awesome and once you get the other stuff out of the way it is going to be awesome. Brandon better keep that big chunk of concrete that is your wrecking ball.
Thank you! I agree once that stuff is gone it will really have some potential. Yes I set it aside it’s perfect for stuff like this. Appreciate you watching
Who needs a hammer when you have a wad of concrete to drop on it. Run what you brung! That counterweight sounds like a good idea. Will be on the hunt for one too...
That’s right! Yeah I want to try it sometime.
NOW, you DO know, "IF" you did NOT want that to break it would be crush stone by now (Bustin Rock In the Hot Sun...) I like those CLOSEUP shots of the bucket! Like being there and get the full effect! Like in work years ago w/double floor escalators when short skirts were in and my buddy would position himself accordingly (for FULL EFFECT)
That’s so true. 🤣 nice I would have done the same thing
Boy, glad I had my safety glasses on, feller could get an eye putout out watching you work youngster, good thing I have good reflexes, I just managed to duck in time. 🙄😉😏😂!!!! In all seriousness it was a good vid. Hammers take a toll on a machine. Thanks for the ride along.
🤣 yeah you could lose an eye! I agree hammers are hard on the equipment
Nicely done looking good.
Thank you!
I have a friend that has a huge rock that he uses to break concrete. I don't know what kind of rock it is but, that sucker must tough because he has had the same rock for 15 years. I think he weighed it and it was like 6 or 7 hundred pounds. Job turned out good again. Stay safe brother.
Nice! I’ve had a few but they were limestone and ended up busting to pieces lol
Good video.
Thank you!
Looking good!
Thank you!
Well, that worked, but as you started dropping that chunk of concrete, I thought "with his luck with rocks and windshields, that may be a problem" right before that chunk almost got the camera. But if the chunk of slab over the top of the blade didn't damage anything, your luck has improved. 😉 Good job, looks nice.
🤣🤣 I thought of that a few times. I’m like my track record isn’t good for this sort of thing 🤣
Nice work sir!
Thank you!
Looks great 👍
Thank you!
Nice cleanup, property owner should be very pleased! Thanks for posting the video!
Thank you! Yes they were happy. I’ve already got more to do down there lol
Nice work
Thank you!
At least the concrete wasn't reinforced, that's hassle dealing with that.
Yes I lucked out there
I used a skid steer with hammer to break up part of a slab and pulled up the other part with the excavator. I liked the excavator better. I could have had an easier clean up with just using excavator.
That’s a good idea too. I agree the excavator seems better for the clean up
Good project. Fun to watch. Hope there are more like this,
Thank you! There is I’m working on one now and I have 3 more after this one
I have a trusty "boulder" that I use/keep around 😅
That’s a good idea!
Thought you were trying to pull a letsdig18 move dropping that chunk of cret !!!! Hey ya did fantastic and got lucky !!! Was there any reinforcement in that cret ???? I saw some moisture barrier... Chicken wire maybe ??? 👍👍👍👍👍
🤣🤣 yep it’s how I always break up concrete. Yes just the wire was it a couple of the footings had rebar but not too many
Looks good!!
Thanks man! This 2150 is a beast! Makes quick work of things!
Fan👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks buddy!
@@eliteearthworksllc 🙂
@@eliteearthworksllc 👍👍👍
@@eliteearthworksllc 👍👍👍
I like it 👏👏👏
Thank you!
I don't know if anybody looks at these old reviews, however if you do I'm interested in knowing how often you have to replace the fingers on the grappler type machine?
The thumb will last a long time, thousands of hours because it’s made out of a harden steel
So Brandon how you like demo with the 2150 job looks great.
I love it! It’s great size and has tons of power to smash this stuff up.
Even a counter weight off a mini excavator would probably work as well. Got it looking really good sounds like they might keep you busy. Keep up the great videos
Yeah that would work too. Appreciate you watching
If you are in Little Rock.
I probably can hook you up with a forklift wate.
Sweet! May have to make a road trip
Hmmm…I don’t see any rebar so that makes a bit easier for you, right?
Yes they just had wire in it
Awesome work Brandon, cleaned up prettaaa, like watching that 2150 tear that Crete up, thanks for sharing bud , look forward to seeing the next video 💪🇺🇸
Thanks man! It makes short work of things. Appreciate you watching
What about a rock hammer to break out the concrete?
That would work too
😊
Thanks!
Does the 2150 have a automatic quick attach or a manual?
It’s a hydraulic quick coupler. I hit a button in the cab to release the bucket
Contact Wes at Watch Wes Work, he parted out an old forklift might still have counterweight or know where there is one.
Good idea I bet he has a few lol
Why is there paper attached to the cemet slabs?
I think its a vapor barrier. They're laid on the base before the concrete is poured to help stop moisture. I could be wrong though
Yes it’s a vapor barrier to keep the moisture out
You really need to get more aggressive with your operator skills.your not going to break the bucket,or destroy the machine.need faster pace,act like your not sure of yourself in doing what needs to be accomplished.my opinion,just go for it.👍👍
I know what I want the end result to look like I just don’t thrash on my stuff since I’m the one having to pay for them
I would not put a hammer on it either nothing ages equipment faster than banging the guts out of it. Not to mention the sanity of the operator, teeth chattering eyeball rolling hard work doing that shit for a few hours. What a waste of a good flat work area, the house could go anywhere on that 15 acres, just push it back 10 yards use the hard standing and tear it out later if needs be. Good work though, 42 loads of rubble for landfill.
I totally agree just destroys the machine. That’s the same thing I lot on the slab. It’s like you could have chose anywhere lol
Where are you located out of
Joplin Missouri
I live halfway between Springfield and Saint Louis And I enjoy your videos
@@bobbyhussey1432 oh cool! Always neat meeting someone else from Missouri. 👍🏻
What first comment??
Nice! 👊🏼
Heyyyyy Brandon!!! You NEED a hammer. About a 15 lb sledge hammer and start swinging away!! No more need to go to the gym!! Hahaha.
You do what you do,,,,,. No problem. I can see a counterweight from a forklift working very well. Like you said, it won’t bust apart. Something tells me the 21t0 is strong enough to just pull that slab apart without dropping anything on it. Since you don’t mind pre-fracturing it,,, look like you did very well!! It’s gone!! Hahaha.
Looked like a beautiful day!
Later, Eh!
Lol I would be a good workout. I don’t think I have that much endurance 🤣 yeah it didn’t have much trouble on this stuff I just wanted it small for the truck. Hope all is well and you are feeling good
