People love watching equipment , you watch the amount of people you have watching your videos soon ! Its also really cool to be learning on video so when you do get really good and fast in the equipment you can go back and watch your progression !! Remember slow is smooth , smooth is fast , make every move deliberately and try to always be doing more than one movement at a time !! You are doing great not dead ending the cylinders and banging the bucket , thats what most new operators do and it tears a machine right up
Also don't get in the bad habit of using your hands to control the tracks ...it takes some getting used to and I know Takeuchi doesn't have the most comfortable foot pedals but you need your hands on the joysticks if you are going to prevent an accident loading or unloading
Mr Cody, what i always do is walk the machine up to the tipping point then stretch the boom out. One other thing to think of when you have the machine backwards the exhaust is pointed so air can get in it. A very good friend told me it would premature wear the turbo out. Just passing it forward.
I am a heavy equipment operator and i grease every morning before I start digging , that m18 milwaukee grease gun is hands down the best thing that has come along in our industry in a long while .uncle has a sweet pre emissions cat skid loader he knows what's up!!! Tell him don't ever get rid of that !!!
Excellent job loading & pickin up the ramps. Nicely done, sir. 👍🏻 Loveky diggin job!! Ur a pro Cody!! Drone footage was super cool!! Love & Prayers from Alsdorf
Turn 90' out (if clearance is there), have ur left shoulder towards the truck or nose of trailer. U cn walk machine forward when alone w/o spotter or getting in n out. Plus I've put grinder marks on lowbeds to know varying pieces are centered on trailer.
That machine is incredible, I could watch you all day long in that machine. Who would have ever thought they’d make one of these that you can use on a farm! Cody, that was very impressive the way you loaded it on the trailer & got the ramp pulled up! Okay in my next life I wanna come back as a Texas rancher! ❤❤
Hey buddy, if you’ll put your dirt on the other side of the ditch it will make clean up a lot easier. The dirt will go under the fence and it’s a pain to get without stretching out the wire. I dig a lot of natural gas and water lines. Just trying to help my friend.
Quick tip for ya after you dig a scoop take the flat part of your bucket and drag it across the bottom of your ditch it will make it smooth makes it easier to work in but ya doing great keep ranchin
Nice, let the grease and stuff from your boom blow on the cars behind you 😉 Just curious why you put your tailings between the trench and the fence on your right side? If you put the tailings on the left it would be so much easier to use the blade to back fill. Great video, and so good to see you helping your uncle out! I enjoyed the back story of your relationship with him.
Awe man that is totally needed with all these rocks in the ground! I want about 10 more fruit trees. My husband told me I was crazy and I better start digging now to be prepared for planting in the spring 🤣
@@Bar7Ranch idk what kind of Plums the old owner planted here but by far they were the best I’ve ever had! From around the world too! They were small and the tree only produced 10 plums. Of course I only got 1/2 of one.
Hey, does your son Clancy have his own instagram, TH-cam, TikTok, and any other platforms where he make videos if so, what is the name. Would love to see his videos or see he start making videos!
I'm not sure American has anything to do with it. Plenty of cultures, around the world, that have great family values. Some, IMHO, have better family loyalty than most American families.
Good work, Buddy 👍 .... but you should have put the majority excess dirty on the left side of the trench. It would have been easier to backfill with that plow. The right side dirt mount is close to that fence. COOL 😎 CONTENT
Cody you're probably already aware but if you dig over 18" deep you are required to call in a digtess so any utilities or pipe lines can be located, this will take any liabilities away from you.
Definitely owe it to subscribers to upgrade the video equipment. Tripod, window mount, clamp mount so many simple gadgets to acquire for better quality. It’s sometimes tough watching when we are getting whiplashed about.🇺🇸🙏
Like we mentioned, it was already ordered. We leave the splats in because of the humor of it 😉 We value everyone watching but we aren’t professionals. 😂
Never use your hands. Always drive it with your feet and keep your hands on the controls for the boom. I noticed that on the video when you were teaching E. Cut the hand controls off and learn to use feet only.
I also prefer to load with tracks in reverse and keep the weight over the trailer axles even if it means facing the machine forward. Loading in reverse you can keep your feet on the floor which helps for having control when it breaks over. Also can can just drive off of going forward to unload. Not real familiar with minis but that’s how we do large excavators on our haul truck.
There’s hand controls for a reason 😂 I’ve never used one before so it was an easier way to start out for me. Cody uses his feet (expect occasionally when driving up on the trailer) Thanks for the tips!
Those are my Dream Machines but id love to have the CAT Version yes im a Fan Boy as I drive a Truck Daily with a C18 With a Compound Turbo Setup it rips up Accelerating on 5% grades in 10th gear so if that says anything. Now you know the only thing that would change my mind is if it was someone else's engine unless it was Cummins or Perkins those two companys can build some engines too but at that point the LOGO on it really means nothing so id probably go for something else! Really if the run and make money does not matter what the logo on it says! As for slamming on that trailer Cody learn to use your boom sitting on the trailer and move the boom as your moving the tracks dont pull urself if you can just keep some weight on that bucket!! IT is very much a learned skill so your gonna have to practice you still got the new guy jerk but soon you will be Smooth As Hell On Those Controls!! Go clean your ditches its just Diesel and Getting that ditch uniform and perfect all the way down while running the controls smooth without the new guy jerk you will be GTG and the County will love ya for doing there job for them!
You're WAY too far forward with all due respect. Load your trailer not yoir truck. The truck is loaded with the weight of the trailer empty or very close. Most people don't realize this.
It's nice that you got to spend some time on the excavator ( in the UK my friends call it a digger) I had an uncle like that on my mom's side. I try to do the same for my nieces and nephews now.
I want to know how your wife lets you wear a white shirt lol I have seen some videos got nice white shirt then end up doing some dirtiest jobs on the ranch
Good job loading and digging the trench. Always good to replay the ones that helped you. GOD bless y'all.

Keep your spoils closer to your ditch. Makes back filling easier on you. Doing great bud!
Man technology and ranching. Cody using all the tools today.
I can watch working videos for days 😂😂👍 “keep on ranchin”

Those Takeuchi machines are great machines, I’ve was ever in there market for one they’d definitely be on my radar
Now when there's trespasses Cody doesn't call 911, he calls 811.😂🤣
Touché. Excellent comment!
Cody, you always look like a pro to the majority of us!! Just deserve a little more respect from your ranch hands! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Cody ain't ever wrong!!! He was just mistaken! 😂😂
😂
Heyyyy love yall !! Keep ranchin ❤️❤️

He is having so much fun with these machines! They are so interesting to learn!
Love the content, don’t forget to get locates before you dig. You never know where there could be a pipeline or utilities. God bless.

Thanks for the tip! Did this job the way the uncle wanted it. He will be doing the rest of the work.
That mini x constantly beeping would drive me crazy.
That the back up beeper for Skid steer not the mini
@mysporty7149, I'm pretty sure you're wrong, considering it only beeped when he was moving the excavator lol
@@mysporty7149 @1:30 it beeped the whole time he was loading it on the trailer at home
@@mysporty7149its on both most you can turn it off with a switch but not sure about that one
Men and our toys just keep getting bigger 😂😂. Good job Cody
Always! They are so useful though!
Aww man we done gone full drone mode I love it 😂
Quick tip for ya after you dig a scoop take the flat part of your bucket and drag it across the bottom of your ditch it will make it smooth makes it easier to work in but ya doing great keep ranchin

He isn’t covering it back up. Just doing what his uncle wants.
Excellent job Cody.
Thanks for watching Brian!
Great job sir you are getting so good. And your weight loss is doing awesome.
Thanks Jerry!
brother is that gonna be trouble putting the dirt between fence and ditch when you get ready to pushe the dirt back in the ditch
Hard to figure out new toys 😂
Awe man that is totally needed with all these rocks in the ground! I want about 10 more fruit trees. My husband told me I was crazy and I better start digging now to be prepared for planting in the spring 🤣
For sure the case around here too! 😂 We plan to plant some trees for shade around our place over the next year. Stay tuned!
@@Bar7Ranch idk what kind of Plums the old owner planted here but by far they were the best I’ve ever had! From around the world too! They were small and the tree only produced 10 plums. Of course I only got 1/2 of one.
When you load that excavator rotate the cab around to where you’re sitting sideways going up the ramps. Makes loading way easier.
They advised us specifically NOT to do it that way 🤣
Definitely not you’ll look funny when you flip
We have to do almost 5’ deep in Wisconsin!! Our frost goes deep! 1’ deep in Texas is very different! 😊🙃
Nice job Cody you the best 🎉
Ole Boy was just testing y'all......
Right 😉😂
What are your thoughts on your Chevy 6.6 gaser moving your new equipment around
Who knew he was a rancher and operator and a pilot 😂
Love witch you ever day of my life Cody love your mustache curls up
Hay you from where George strait is from he a cowboy like you Cody and he awen a ranch like you
It take fuel ⛽ run it ❤😂❤❤
Looks like you had good handle on the bad boy
Hey, does your son Clancy have his own instagram, TH-cam, TikTok, and any other platforms where he make videos if so, what is the name. Would love to see his videos or see he start making videos!
Not yet but very VERY soon!
Don’t unscrew the cab off the tracks it’s a total mess to put it back together
Family helping family , it’s the way it used to be, it’s the way it should stay. Nothing more American than that ! God bless
I'm not sure American has anything to do with it. Plenty of cultures, around the world, that have great family values. Some, IMHO, have better family loyalty than most American families.
❤ Keep Operating/Keep Ranchin good job !🏆
Thank you! Will do!
Nice work Sir very nice set up
Use your feet and keep your hands on the controls in case it goes south they have pedals for a reason USE YOUR FEET
Im so embarrassed for Cody !! I figured he dumped diesel in the hydraulic tank !!
Load it with the drive motors in front of you and it will take the rock out of it when you break over!

@@dennismartin6304 on rural farm land? Just asking??
@@Blacktopcharities the law states any excavation that is over 18" deep require a call to digtess, even on private property.
@@dennismartin6304You don’t need to call in locates that are on private property with no right of way.
Great job all the way around!
Thanks!
heck here i am asking ?? and i see this is 2 months old lol
There should be two different ways to operate that machine, excavator/backhoe me personally I like excavator mode the controls make sense
Love the drone footage. Can you provide a link to drone equipment? Thanks. Keep ranchin'
Thanks! amzn.to/3WqjfoG

Chevy needs a self leveling trailer system
It will take a day and a half! I think??
Lekker man lekker 🇿🇦
What drone are you guys using?
What kind of drone do you guys have
amzn.to/3WqjfoG
Takeuchi or CAT
And when you go to Grease the boom streach it out makes it easier to reach and Also takes the lube better
Is there an xl cab on the options?
One day of digging? lol…
You're WAY too far forward with all due respect. Load your trailer not yoir truck. The truck is loaded with the weight of the trailer empty or very close. Most people don't realize this.
Just because you buy it does mean you can drive it
The dirt should be away from fence??
Doing it the way the owner wants
Next time put the dirt to the outside... Make it easier to fill in... Even use your blade
Doing it the way the landowner wants.
How do you like that TAG bucket?
First bucket I’ve used but it worked great
@@Bar7Ranchcool that was my uncle and his brothers bucket business TAG stands for terry and Gary they just recently sold the business tho
Mistake
Hi I am your biggest supporter
❤️❤️❤️
You're putting your dirt too far away from your ditch.
Thanks for the tip. Doing this the way the owner wants it. He will be doing the remainder of the work.
@Bar7Ranch I know it's not always possible Cody, but people really like it when you respond to their comments
Rookie, wouldn’t last 5 minutes on a real job
Aww David. I hope your day gets better! Love from the Bar 7 ❤️
It's nice that you got to spend some time on the excavator ( in the UK my friends call it a digger)
I had an uncle like that on my mom's side.
I try to do the same for my nieces and nephews now.
That's awesome to pass that along!
really Cody you need to see better or get some glasses
I want to know how your wife lets you wear a white shirt lol I have seen some videos got nice white shirt then end up doing some dirtiest jobs on the ranch
We own a dry cleaners 😉
