Oh yes . It takes alot of water to get good compaction. The DG will hold water good and compact . The native dirt has to take less water or it will get too muddy and difficult to work with. Thank you for your comment .
These people comments...gezz ... spreading this material over a large area very thin takes a lot of skill... And patience and a very light touch.... I would disregard these people's comments..
@@angeljulian7343 yes sir I'm a finish blade man... I work for one of the largest contractors in Arizona I've been there almost 20 years I have 40 years combined experience mostly in Finish ABC I started as a labor moved up to Gannon tractor and then the 613 finish scraper... And finish blade for the last 30 plus years... I do all the ABC work finish grade mostly residential streets and parking lots... To this day I do not use any sonar laser or GPS, 👍
@@sunsetranch9780 that's awesome brother . I knew you were an operator by you're comment. I started as a laborer and water boy, or as my old boss would call it (hydro engineer lol ) ...... He was well known. For building horse arenas in California. ....he passed away a couple years back butt I'm happy he passed along his knowledge..... They don't make operators like they use to anymore. .... Stay blessed and happy labor day.
you gotta use that bucket too! thatll get the job done more efficiently and spread material more evenly and quicker. not bad for just using the box though
You are a master of the machine. It did not take you long and the floor is flattened. Question, is this skip loader heavy enough to do the compaction as it goes over the material?
It’s always best to use a roller to compact . But when I have to use a skip I fill the bucket with material and soak the pad and wheel roll it . It helps if the tires are older because new tires will dig into material . Also it takes forever to wheel roll but it can be done . If I had my choice on this one I would have used a drum roller it’s a lot faster and you get a better finish
This is a long video and I’m still waiting for the “master” to show up. This guy is driving the machine quickly gouging the dirt with no pattern or plan at all aside from knocking down this pile in second gear driving erratically and making this simple project actually take longer than it should. To the viewer that has no experience wow he drives fast ma but this is barely the pathway to apprenticeville. Your wasted moves and dirt mixed in with your material points to a guy (you) who’s nothing more than a prima Donna with a sore neck in the recent future. Here’s a tip bro for free : slow is smooth and smooth is fast 💨
I didn't. Mix the DG with native dirt at all . I don't think spreading 150 tons of DG on a pad that is 100'x200' is that bad . This is part one tho It did take me two hours to spread 300 tons by myself I think I could have done it in an hour and a half. .. I don't understand how I could have done it faster if you could show me a video of someone doing it better I would love to see . Or it sure sounds like you can do better. The people that taught me how to work lead by example and showed me they knew what they were talking about didn't just run at the mouth. And yes I had a pretty sore neck after. Don't know alot of construction workers that don't go home hurting after a long day. You must be the other guy.
Have the truck driver spread the dirt for you, then just knock it down. This guy may be able to run a tractor but moving the base two times and long distances is a lot of extra work. There is more to being a good operator than just running the machine.
I don't know if it's windy as fuk or this video is sped up. If you operate one of those that fast, good on ya. I've seen people who are really good, but not super fast like that
Amazing how fast that material dries. When you cross where you were just 5 minutes earlier there is a stark contrast in the color.

Thank you !! Sounds like you're an operator yourself. The comments are funny I got pretty thick skin.

@@angeljulian7343 ya I saw a lot of this kind of thing on tv I watch a lot of tv and you tube videos
@@angeljulian7343 nah you do alright but you gotta know if you title your video saying your the best people will likely give you a hard time about it
@@67hundredthz no doubt. Thanks for the comment tho. And watching the video. I see you operating the big toys.(excavator)

Do you know the name and number of the truck driver you have in mind? Because all of the ones I know absolutely could not do Jack diddly squat
That’s true, but many truck drivers are idiots and dump the material exactly what you told them not to!
I must be a master also cause I did not see anything useful buddy 😅
Easy to talk . Let me see your operating skills
I don't know if it's windy as fuk or this video is sped up.
