Drives me nuts, nobody gives a crap about doing it right anymore (and the few of us that DO, and point that out are treated like we're crazy. "Just slam it together and run it" - that's won't fly when I'm signing MY name to the job. "Hold fast to your standards, and hold those who do not accountable" Me - Today....
At least you got the cutting edges. Nowadays, nobody has anything. It’s “sorry sir, we’re out but we can order it for you, but not sure when we’ll get it”. You’re right about the prices too. Every SOB has to add a little and it winds up being double. Our economy crash hasn’t even got started either and people are gonna be shocked come Christmas time. FJB&KH
No way those cutting edges are off. They bent and punched them on the latest and greatest Cnc machines that any person that can hit the go button can operate. 😂 We fired the quality control guy cuz with Cnc we don’t need it. Never mind that chunk of sheared off scrap that fell in the end that skewed every piece out of whack. It’s a Cnc everything comes out perfect. We got the iso 9000 sticker to prove it!! 😅
Great video Jeff alway enjoy watching you work dirt. It's sad that you had to put that much time and material into making your cutting edge as close to correct as possible stay safe Jeff. Love the drone footage and the music.
21:40 funny how shitty the 3208 was when it came out, nowadays they're a dream when compared to all the electronic emissions trash engines with plastic everywhere... "progress" feh
Thanks for the vid Jeff, enjoy your work ethic and the work you do, very enjoyable to watch a professional.....😁😁😁 as I am just a wannbe dirt mover, grader, dozer dude.
Jeff, back in the day when I had equipment I used IPD or APD (can’t remember which it is)for cutting edges. Great quality, prices and good service. Had a 14G and Gallion 50tm for support. These guys made custom edges for loaders and replacement for excavator buckets. Teeth also. Don’t know if they are still around, but google them. Great video. And here in Calif we call it hard blading when we finish off for pavement. Good luck. Stay safety
You make it look Easy Jeff ! than they make it harder on you to finish , Couldn't they stake the property lines after you finish the Curb/ditch cut ? Damn !
I know how you feel about the cutting edges Jeff. But as a county road maintainer (70+ miles of gravel and dirt roads to maintain) we didn't have to worry to much about the cutting edges lining up. Awesome videos bud, love watching them.
i work for a dirt contractor in Oklahoma we still run hubs on every job we build... we build highways and county roads... running hubs is a lost art... every tom dick and harry thinks they are a finish blade hand until you set some whiskers out there... then they become very friendly with the hammer...everyone runs these gps machines and thinks they know what's what... Americas roads were built with hubs and whiskers...
I be never seen one man have such bad luck with cutting edges than you my friend. Is it just your dealer switching from cat to an off brand and not telling all of you? Down here in SF Bay Area we have a few dealers doing the switch a roni, but after they get caught once they usually don’t sell Any more and learn their lesson. It seams to be the usual method in your area. I switched to IPD in SF Bay Area and Sacramento area down to Fresno area. Not a bad one yet in many years. Plus price is much better than CAT, Deere, Case etc. good luck
maybe they know more about whats gonna happen with the economy then we do(curb laying people) -huh. 20 plus yrs ago-we got rid of cat edges due to the rock we was in--i kept busting em in half-right at the bolt holes(was running D-11's)I can't remember the name, bbut i do remember how thick the corners was back then. probably twice as thick as the cats were.
Jeff you aint no spring chicken any more if you got the crud lots of REST and drink lots of FLUIDS you got them boys that are pretty dam smart other wise i might lose the only show i like your the king of Jeffland take it easy thats what you have pesants living in your kingdom let them do the work stay close to your wheelbarrow and count the gold you have
so I shimmed up a tree the other day and made my son hand me the chainsaw he was holding while in the basket of a snorkel lift, I took the saw and cut down all the branches he was to scared to saw LOL then slide down, Jake said "I should of filmed that"
great video where do you come up with the great music ? i where you a closet disk jockey? LOL! your videos show that there is still hope for mankind. from your parents to your children you have helped us all to live in a better world
Great Video Sir. And back it the day when my Dad owned a Ready-Mix Concrete Plant we had a few Ford F8000 with 3208 and they were good engines we even had a couple with the old 1160 Cats, then we went to the Front Discharge Mixers and they had C-10 engines and did not like them at all could not work on them all electronic BS and the big Allison Transmission ever thing with fly by wire !!!! :( lol your friend from Michigan
@@Jpaydirt I’m parked out west of you in Bliss tonight, and tomorrow taking the scenic route again, working my way north to US-20, then clear over to Rexburg, then west back to I-15 north, all the way to Alberta.
You need to seal that cab and install AC. It takes a toll breathing in dust all day. At your age you need to invest a bit more in easier working conditions
Jeff, whether you have “COVID” or not…, take special care, and watch that fluid build-up (crap as you called it) in your chest… I am screaming at you thru the screen…! Very serious, about. It will sneak up on you. I realize you have that has to be done…, but we out here want to keep seeing you and your videos. Great grading video. Awesome of that viewer to give you that curb machine insight. Thank you sir.
When I put base rock in subdivisions I used to blade the rock about 3/4 to an inch high so when the curb machine lay the curb it would grub out that inch to grade and lay the concrete on grade. I assume your curb machine will run off a string line set at grade. If the curb machine isn't grubbing out anything that means the base is low which in turn means more concrete which in turn means an ass chewing for the blade man. It's all a vicious circle. Lol Our base rock is limestone. Used to get in from a pugmill which basically just a mill that mixes water with the fines. Gets harder than a wedding dick !! BTW, the M series graders are like running a Cadillac. Dang they are nice. Everything operates from the two joysticks 🕹
they did a virtual stringline, laser and gps is what they will use, our grade is a 2% slope to center so where the curb lays it should be about twentyfive hundreths high
It was kinda painful watching that cutting edge change go from a short ordinary job into a half a day. Gotta love quality control these days. Let's Go Brandon... 👌
Was going to ask about the edges when I saw how the tips were worn and then all my questions were answered. I would've like to see how you clean the back side of the curb and channel once it was laid. And whether or not you have enough excess gravel tp make it worth picking up for other jobs. I am having withdrawls... haven't touched a grader for over a year now. Hope you get over your wongle uncle.
My question would be how do you know that those blades are oem Cat ? Do they have stamps? I wouldn't put it past a dealer to sell alibaba parts as OE, especially with the current product shortage. I've seen local auto dealers do it. On the other hand, there's labor shortage in some manufacturing which might cause crappy production. Either way it sucks.. Ps, thought you were going to show how the feathers work? Do the different colors mean different things? Are they hammered in to desired height or just represent certain heights?
"WONGLE" What the curb guys got when they saw your video cameras. Just returned from Portland. Spray paint need to cost 100 dollars a can, without a copy of last year's tax return! What a mess! Idaho, one of the last great states.
Great video and I appreciate the grader tips/lessons. It's not going to hurt your feeling if I watch several more times, will it? 😁 I'm from West Virginia so I'm a slow learner.🙄 Loved loved loved the drone footage👍
You cut the gravel before the curb goes in? Nothing like grading the gravel twice. Here in MN we put the curb hubs in first, that way you just need to blue top the CL and cut once.
A few years ago I was on a Pipeline job running dozer, one Saturday the super came up and said you're fixing this farmer's driveway with the grader, 8 feet wide and it was a 872 Deere with fingertip controls, I had only run two days the year before plowing snow, the trucks came and tried to tail spread their loads what a disaster, I was all chasing that material with the super saying don't put none on the grass and make it do the whole quarter mile driveway. That day sucked
Cat will never tell you, but my money says they “Out Sourced” grader blade edges. Inspection and out sourcing were never used together. I agree its too easy to drop the grader blade to keep material flowing. You don’t know satisfying it is to see no light under that blade and very little movement. I regret now that I used my Galion 118 more like a dozer than the motor patrol it was designed to be.
Worked a couple years for a paving company as a mechanic years ago and they had a local shop cut and bend there cutting edges. When I asked why the shop forman said they were cheaper and better quality. I can say I never had any problems with then fitting any of our machines. Definitely sucks Cat has let there quality control slip like that then again I bet they are no longer made in the states and probably get here on a long boat ride.
Worked for calif. DOT we used our old blade edges off all the equipments plows, graders, loader bucket etc. to make drag feet/ runners for our mower decks and other custom made attachment we made to help with roadway maintenances. Never put in scarp till nothing left to use, because the bean counters would scream.
Just goes to show that even money can't buy quality these days. You would think that a company as big as that would at least call you the afternoon before and let you know that their plans had changed and that they're taking their machine so that you could plan accordingly.
Jeff,I did quite a study on taking out the hubs that the feather is on, I believe the gophers seance you are coming and root the hub up, that is my story and am sticking with it
Nice video. Here in San Diego the concrete guys want the curb grade about an inch and a half fat for the curb machine. They always dry run curb the machine prior to mud to make sure everything cuts nice. Then when mud shows up, everyone knows the grade is good to go. Good peace of mind and time well spent. Usually we don't spend to much time on the center of road since we know it needs to get touched up and curbs backfilled to make ready for asphalt. Have fun!
Fertilizer for my corn patch was $ 935 per ton, double last year. Fuel has doubled also. I may have to make moon shine with my corn to get my money back, cows will just have to eat less.
I must have listened to that song at the 16:50 minute mark 50 times....anyway of getting a youtube for her? Keep up the great videos, sir. Blessings. Larry
It's hard telling from the videos but shouldn't the yards drain into the streets? That's how we do it here in Omaha unless you guys still have fill to put in yet? Looks awesome though you guys do good work
Was still a great viewing video bro. By your careful planning on getting it right I guess you must have had top marks at grade school in your younger days. Safe travels
That has to be irritating to spend your Saturday to get all the curb grade done. Then they pull curb machine off the job. Change order coming. At least you have your compaction test to back you up. Way back when I ran a water truck Worley Construction had 6 ginny hoppers running in front of the fat tired 14G. We specialized in subdivisions. Underground to blue top. And finished pads. Loved the tunes.
@@Jpaydirt sorry I meant the curb your doing but nice job with the blade tho yeah I have had several cutting edges from cat and John Deere that were all jacked up I finally have went to a company in town that has cutting edges for everything there straight and cheaper and last way longer Branco is the company in Mesa Arizona they ship Thur out the US
We build to a price now, not to a quality. Seems everything is like that.twice the price, half the quality.
very discouraging isn't it
we all know you gave money to material testing guy

I can sit back Jeff and watch you work for hours...from Newfoundland 😁🇨🇦
The only edges I have changed were on my snowplow. We use the make it liquid wrench to remove the old bolt. The fastest and easiest way!!
Jeff how close is close enough? A tenth of a foot?
for the curb machine? that would probably be fine
0.05' on gravel. 0.10 for grading grade.
I use Black Cat blades and have had great luck with them!!
Good video. Very informative on grading. Thanks.
I think it would have been easier just to paint the cutting edge, then it would have been better than new.I 😁
Bluetooth you mean. Nice one Mr. Jeffrey.
The reason the curb people left? Maybe they got the new price for concrete and said the hell with it.
got word it's being rationed, they are limiting customers to 30 to 40 yards each
Fertilizer for my corn patch was $ 935 per ton, double last year. Fuel has doubled also. I may have to make moon shine with my corn to get my money back, cows will just have to eat less.

What did you say that pissed off the curb installers? Must have been Biteme suporters.
I had a FW t shirt for the operator as he'd seen mine and wanted one, so I don't know what happened
Mr Paydirt that cutting edge looked like it came from Arkansas. 🤓
canada actually
Jeff, would you please credit the music that accompanies your videos ?
yes, I forgot there in the description at the bottom
Great video, and good tunes. Sad that new parts are so Shity!
Thank you Jeff for another episode. Always love them. I was hoping to see curb too. Oh well. Have a good one.

hey brian hows florida going
@@Jpaydirt It's getting hot and humid. Still working so far... Glad to see you are busy!

I'm going somewhere else next time for sure
There's a art of running that grader!!
Good work, I like the GPS feathers 😉
Oh, the fine folks of DEPATCO
tell me more
you almost need to make a jig to hold a grinder that rides the top edge and grind the new cutting edges in straight
sounds like work LOL
Skilled operator getting it done.
We just call it setting up stone we do the sides first for curb get the curb poured cured & backfilled on the back side then come back & do the middle
thats your term for tight blading?
@@Jpaydirt curb is about 1 ft thick so it's on a different grade than the asphalt which is about 3in
Pavement is only two 12ft lanes, then the 1ft ribbon curb, by the time you lay out the crushed gravel for the curb the whole road is covered
GREAT VIDEO JEFF
Do you sell the old blades?
no, there out back in case I need some for...........like the blm work
Good videos
You should get yourself a caterpillar 415 Gannon or a John Deere 210k to do your sidewalks that’s what we use here in Arizona
no side walks on this one
@@Jpaydirt sorry I meant the curb your doing but nice job with the blade tho yeah I have had several cutting edges from cat and John Deere that were all jacked up I finally have went to a company in town that has cutting edges for everything there straight and cheaper and last way longer Branco is the company in Mesa Arizona they ship Thur out the US
