- Cutting in a ditch with the Takeuchi TB260 along the track. This was the area where I thinned out the trees and is still a low point so I'm going back and grading a ditch to help the water drain out of the area and hopefully some day get it dry out. The track guys haven't showed up yet so I thought it was a good time to get it done. Thanks for watching! #EliteEarthworks #Takeuchi #cuttingaditch
Nice work. Drainage ditches are always a PITA.... Good luck bud. Thanks
Thank you! Yeah they can be tricky especially when there’s not much fall. Appreciate you watching
You made that look wheelie wheelie swail there B-man!!! lol.
🤣🤣 thank you!
Looks great Brandon
Thank you!
Big improvements every video 💪🏼
First time I emailed Brandon I said you need grading bucket. I'm so used to Gradall with grading bucket. Said now you need tilt
Chief, cook and bottle washer! Quite the challenge they've handed him. In one regard, it's a feather in his cap of the confidence they have in him and on the other, hard for him to call all the serious shots!
Take care DIRT BOSS - good to hear from you! Sonny
Thank you! It finally feels like it’s shaping up lol
Nice job on shaping that ditch.
Thank you! Should really help out
Coming along! Looks good.
Thank you!
See grading bucket is the trick. Looks great Brandon
Thank you! Yeah the grading bucket is great
everything looking great !!...thumbs up
Thank you!
great job buddy and great video as always 😎👊🏻👍🏻i love how you look at your saw after you cut the pipe like did i break my saw lol 🤣😂😅 i see you always accidentally hit the thumb button on your excavator lol 🤣😂😅 love the music at the end
Thanks man!
@@eliteearthworksllc you are welcome buddy 😀
Glad they have all the confidence in your abilities and decision making on this project. Your head has worn many hats on this one, for sure. You've got a real LOT of TH-cam comments from those (like you) in the business and showing support your way. Quite the project you've grown into but NOTHING YOU cannot handle. Stay safe, Be well! & Hug the family! Sonny
Thank you! I appreciate the kind words! I agree definitely worn many hats and I’ve had a lot of help from a lot of great people.
I don't know how you do it, but despite all the challenges, you keep making it all come together day by day. Looking forward to seeing the tracks go down and for some of that water to GO AWAY and leave you alone! Thank you for all the great videos.
Thank you! Sometimes it feels like a lit of back and forth lol! I’m excited to see the track as well. I’m hoping to get back there Thursday and see an update. I’ll share a picture or something in a post. Appreciate you watching
Great job keep it up
Thank you! I appreciate that!
Doing well Brandon, not easy when it’s flat as a pancake!! Keek up the good work buddy! All the best from Graham 🇬🇧🇬🇧👍👍👍
Thank you! Yeah it makes it a pain for sure. Appreciate you watching
Really starting to take shape. Nice job. Good video.
Thank you!
Enjoy watching the progress
Thank you!
Very nice job
Thanks you!
Should work pretty good. If you want to you can send that rain here to North Carolina we need it. Take care and have a blessed week and see you on your next vidja.
I would love to send it your way 😁 Appreciate you watching
@@eliteearthworksllc Actually we got a little bit enough to settle the dust.
Nice work man! Everything is coming together it looks like. 👍
Thanks man! It’s slowly getting there
Great job, most people think it’s just trenching when ditching. It’s very challenging to get a ditch right without much fall in elevation.
Thank you! Yes it is very tricky. Appreciate you watching
Looks good, more improvements always helps 👍
Thank you! Yes the more I can do to drain this place the better.
Go for it.
Thanks!
Back in the mudd 👍🏻🇺🇸
🤣🤣 yep I just can’t get away
Digging an effective ditch on ground that flat is no easy task. Yours turned out good though. Keep up the great work buddy.
Thanks man! Yeah it’s a pain and tedious lol
I own a 60 and I love it, I tear out a bunch of concrete everyday, five days a week. It’s Three years old but it still like brand new, we also own a 40 we use for Concrete as well. I have found there isn’t anything thing Machine can’t handle. I ordered a 90. That piece of Iron should be here next month the sale guy is saying. I bought all four Takeuchi from Alta Rental and Sale I fella by the name of Jason Glass I fast talking salesman but he is good and has a ton of contacts and he know what he is doing they are located I know in Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky. A few other states as well but I just don’t know. I just came home from East Tennessee visiting Family but we work on AutoZones all over Ohio and West Tennessee also Dollar Generals all over Michigan and Indiana.
Nice the 260 is a great machine so is the 290. Both are very quick smooth machines sounds like you keep them busy 👍🏻
Road looks nice!!
Thank you!
@@eliteearthworksllc You are welcome!
No problems, Brandon. You have 1/16th inch per foot to the invert which is far from flat. 🤷♀️
That is true it does have decent fall it’s just so soft it’s tough to grade smooth hopefully now it will dry some and I can touch it up.
Yea your about 1/2% fall. Don’t worry, the water over time will fill and cut any highs and lows. Only so much you can do with the terrain your given.
Nothing wrong with little water sitting in the ditch, will seep in eventually.When grass start growing in the ditch, people won't notice that sitting water even.😁
Very true 😁👍🏻
Weather can always be a heas ache Dat for sure as can trying to get water to move where y'all want it
Yeah it can be tricky for sure
I was going to say chain your truck to the blade and leave it in neutral so you could push it along with you as you dig, but. lol
Lol good idea
Over the last few years we havent gotten much for rain. I don't miss working with the mud, but we need the rain so ill take it lol
Yeah there definitely needs to be a happy medium
Any idea on the name of the song at the end buddy? Been following you for awhile, awesome work brother! Love my taks as well! I have a couple of them. Best small machines on the market!
Pride before the fall by Ethan Meixsell I think I got it off the free TH-cam music site. Thank you! I love my Tak machines they are great!
You know what they ought to do? Put a pond on both sides of the track there! Maybe build a beaver lodge in the middle of one of them. Maybe on the other side alligators. Fake ones of course. The ponds might even attract ducks and geese.
The first great idea is free! The next one might come with a small fee. You're welcome!
That’s a great idea! Be the best thing to do with all that water for sure. 🤣 a small fee could be worth it at this point 😁
A swale is a lot better than a ditch... it’ll move more water and, you can keep the water further away from the roadbed. Don’t you think?
New company slogan: Elite Swamp Works... alligators or not... we’ll bust our a$$ to drain ‘em!
I went by tonight. They have a bunch of tracks down! Did you get any videos yet? I wanted to go by today and watch but, I had to pick up a new beagle.
I agree the swale with work better. 🤣🤣 that’s great! No I haven’t been down there I was planning on Thursday if it doesn’t rain. Ah cool good to hear what’s this ones name?
@@eliteearthworksllc She’s a shelter rescue...we’re calling her Shasta.
Cool!
What state do you live in
He’s in SW Missouri... this project is near Joplin in a small town called Diamond.
Missouri
You need 12” for 100 ft
That would be nice
