End result is all that matters, great job.

[@LordMuck]

That's a nice bit of work there. we are looking at a similar set up to follow behind our track grader blade.

[@DirtNinja]

DoMor makes a nice grader! Id recommend them

[@LordMuck]

They look well thought out.

[@JT-qf4it]

Why are you grading again after leveling and compacting?

[@josephmckay9046]

it's cool that you video from the inside.
How about setting up the camera on the outside and letting it record from a stationary spot?
Getting a better aspect.

[@sandys9791]

Real operators go full throttle all day for perfect and predictable hydraulic response. Can't beat the old foot control bobcat for precision control. 753 is my favorite and fun to run bobcat on wheels. T190 is a nice to run little track machine with nice control. But they are made to run full throttle for the pump to perform to it's potential. If you want full control go full throttle. It's the same with a hoe. I always go full throttle because I do precision work, and need the controls to be precise.

Get a 4 and 1 bucket and put a levelling bar in it

[@harleydavidson8380]

The Dirt Master that's all I use just the 4 - 1 for everything

[@pcunningham1968]

How much does that setup cost? Including the skid steer?

[@calebcrookall4967]

U guys in America finish jobs different to us guys in Australia we use a 4 in 1 bucket and a levelling bar. Everyone does things different

[@kills456]

Caleb Crookall we use 4 and 1s too lol

[@calebcrookall4967]

I know that but here in Australia every skid steer or track loader has a 4 in 1 bucket. we do everything with the one bucket from loading rubbish in a skip bin to doing grading

[@flash1259]

Caleb, I've got a New Holland 675E with a 4 in 1 bucket. I do like it. But, I can move trees and brush piles a lot easier with my brush grapple. It's approx. 4' tall and 7' long. Now I just need to get my adapters so I can use all my equipment on my Bobcat T650 also.

[@moultonditcher6187]

Engine RPM in my mind is always directly proportionate to the task at hand.Each job is different.

[@brianhayden4340]

When are u going to show us what u bought ☺️☺️🤔

[@DirtNinja]

haha, as soon as it arrives!

[@jamieworkman2153]

I see the comments and some I agree and some are bogus...I get what your doing but where are your Laborers? No one can titty out a drive way on a machine

[@hollamby75]

are you using float?

[@DirtNinja]

Yes

[@brianhayden4340]

Hey man I just send you a dm on Instagram of a question if you could please answer that.

[@zachwalker5625]

first

[@blakemaximus2872]

Man, some skinny little girl legs there.

[@streetfighterracing1583]

He was slamming the box un necessary so hard on the ground the owner at 1:55 came out to see what the hell was going on lol... good operators have a feather touch

[@sandys9791]

Nick Jonze pretty sure he was just activating float on the machine.

[@streetfighterracing1583]

sandy s the machines I run when and if I float the blade don’t slam that hard. Good operators can cut grade forward and reverse without floating the blade... I have a few videos of equipment I operate on my channel

[@sandys9791]

Nick Jonze ya I know there is a reason he is doing that, I assumed it was to activate float. I don't run deere, but on bobcat it's not like that. I never use float. Just giving him the benefit of the doubt because i think he knows what he is doing. Seems to have a good little business going anyway.

[@streetfighterracing1583]

sandy s some people do things their own way, but regardless it’s still unnecessary strain on the pins and the attachment that’s a lot of weight hanging off the front. I agree does seem like a nice setup he has going I just wouldn’t slam it around if it was mine. Oh and the way we always spot out the rookies is how much they back drag, it’s better to go forward and see where you are going and traveling on what you are grading to feel how smooth it really is going backwards you can’t tell because you are not on what you are grading... all ab the feel

[@tecnolover2642]

Is this kid even old enough to drive?

[@MsTractorguy]

Real operators don't run their machine full throttle all the time

[@landscapepros6755]

?? Do you need a lesson on how hydraulic pumps work?

[@MsTractorguy]

Landscape Pros you're obviously a inferior operator also, I can do twice as much work with the same machine at half throttle and using the foot pedal when I need to, anybody that thinks a machine is supposed to be ran wide open all the time doesn't pay for the machine themselves

[@MsTractorguy]

Landscape Pros by the way congratulations on the stupidest comeback award for 2016, dumb fuck, hydraulic pumps work half as hard at half rpms, so I'll get two times the fuel out of my machine for the same amount of hours ran that's called efficiency

[@DirtNinja]

So why are machines able to go to full throttle?

[@MsTractorguy]

Dirt Ninja to do something hard, if I can run a machine at half throttle I may only have to throttle up all the way for maybe 15 min a day
