This video is by far one of my favorites of all time.... the amount of grading, the overall sound, the use of the machinery and the camera view.... all perfect to watch and listen to!
The video is addictive for some reason to me.... I don't know if it is the visual of the ground being moved or the sound of happening... maybe how rough the road is and how you made it better. Either way I enjoy it!
I don't know what it is but this video has visual appeal for me with the gravel being scraped during the grading process, with the road being in such a worn condition I can see the real work being done, and the sounds of the machines! Love it all!
That’s why I have a hitch mount skid plate with me To disconnect the trailer use the skid steer to tuck it away turn it around make it so nobody could steal it they’re pretty cheap from quick attach manufacturing
@@Rush47. I bought this machine new in 2013. I went with it because of the visibility at the time and the reason I have kept it this long is because there is no emissions on the engine and it has never given me a problem.
B2 and B3 Series Skidsteers from Cat , in my opinion were some the best models they made. Pre emission engines like that 242 are no loaner available so keep taking good care of it.
This was a temporary fix for 2 Wheel drive vans to gain access to the tower to do a power plant swap. They are well aware that this is not going to last but this is what they wanted. Sometimes you just have to do with the customer wants even though it’s not right. Thanks for watching 👊
Ive been operating for 10 years and im getting ready to buy a tracked skid steer and im gonna start my own business. What would you suggest charging per hour to get started?
A lot depends on what area you live in and how efficient you are with the machine. In my area you can get between 90 and $100 per hour for a 259 cat size machine. Make sure you set a four hour minimum. Don’t forget to charge to deliver your machine to the job. Good luck Randy and thanks for watching 👍🏻
I prefer tracks but tires have there place. I have a Bobcat T190 also and it depends on the job witch one I take. Hard surfaces and mostly flat I will take the tire machine but if I have hills, mud or rugged terrain I will take the tracks. If you’re going to buy one it depends on the area you live and the terrain you will be working in. On this job I knew I was going to be carrying material a distance and it was solid so that’s what made me take the tire machine. Thanks for watching T Ray. Good luck with your decision 👍🏻
@@fulltiltgrading8366 After hours and hours of researching taking into consideration our terrain(heavy bedrock) and weather (snow n ice) Im going with the case SV340 wheeled..

No they would not pay for any of it. It was all on the cellular company. Nobody wanted to pay to do it right so this was the Band-Aid we put on it to get the crews in to work on the cell tower. Thanks for watching Steve 👍🏻
Have you ever looked into the Tilt attachment for your skid bucket? I have one on my 850 Bobcat, I like using it with my 84in bucket. Pretty impressive if you are in tight quarters. I think they are like $1800.
I was thinking why didn't you at least fill up your ford with the fill and back it down to save on the trips then? I don't have experience with this but was curious

Nice job guys👍 What year is the 242B? I have a 2014 246D and buying a 287D this spring💪 I love the Cat license plate on the dump truck👌 Good video guys👍
It is either a 13 or 14. It’s a great little machine and has been very reliable. Not too many people run the 7 series around here because the undercarriage gets tore up too quick. The nine series has a much stronger undercarriage. I have to get a license plate holder for the new F4 50 just so I can get a cat plate for that one too 👍🏻
@@fulltiltgrading8366 I was going to get the 289 but I would be changing the tracks at least a half a dozen times a year. Muilti Terrain track systems are definitely weaker but a much smoother ride. I had a 259 and hated it, same as you brought my 246 to sites over the 259 track because of how rough the ride is
@@gibsonlandscapeconstructio7984 my dad just bought a 259D and had them put the multi train tracks on it. I have got to tell you it rides pretty smooth but I agree with the big lug tracks they ride terrible.
At the very first of the video you showed the water trying to run under the road. It kind of looks like the culvert is pluged up. The water is spilling over a obstruction. Is this what is happening. Clean up a path of water first.
I was out at this site two different times for meetings and in conference calls with engineers two times and they told me I was not allowed to touch that pipe under the road because Then they would have to get permits to deal with running water. It has been very frustrating trying to get them to do anything the right way so when they told me to put a temporary fix on the road I just shut up and did it. Not my call. We do appreciate you watching and if they ever let me do this job the right way I will be sure and film it.
321DLCR Thanks I bought it brand new in 2014 I think and it only has 385 hours on it. Needless to say it doesn’t get used much but it’s paid for and comes in handy in a pinch. Thanks for watching
This site was very tight and wet on both sides of the road. I could not turn my truck around anywhere without sinking and spinning around with every bucket and loading over the tailgate would not have been any fun. I was able to get this job done in less time than I bid it for so I’m pretty happy with how things turned out. We do appreciate you watching Lester. Thanks for the comment👍🏻
I couldn’t agree more but in order to have a crown you must have the road higher than both sides. In this situation it was a road cut into the side of the hill and I had to allow the water to sheet flow across it because they would not pay for any pipe under the road. This was just a temporary fix to get vans in and out to do a power plant swap on the tower. They only paid me to spread two loads of stone to fill in the ruts. Thanks for watching Paul we appreciate it👍🏻
That’s a great question. The road was very narrow and there wasn’t really anywhere to turn the truck around so bucketing just seem to be the best method due to the circumstance. It’s always hard to tell on video how steep the lack of room on a job. We appreciate you watching Dale 👍🏻
I agree! If you have the skill you can make almost any piece of equipment work to do any job. I always look at what it’s going to cost me to get the machine to the job versus the time it’s going to take me. If it’s close on time I’m bringing the small equipment! I’d rather put the money in my pocket. Thanks for watching 👊
How are y’all bidding a job like this? Just curious as to how y’all break it down, labor, materials, machine hours ect. Thanks for any advice in advance!
It was 2 1/2 hrs away so I figured two days witch was plenty of time. 2 loads of stone and labor. You have to know what you are capable of and then beat you’re own expectations. If you do that you can’t loose. Thanks for watching I hope that helps 👍🏻
Tax money r power company money? Not much od a difference really, but the power company is not doing a good job on at least maintaining acess for its renters, is it? If they bought culvert pipe and paid for the work this would not be the problem it is.
The power company owns it but wants the cellular companies to pay for the road work. You know how it is with corporations, nothing gets done! Thanks for watching. If we ever go back to fix it the right way we will make sure we film it. 👍🏻

Yes, I do need to get one for that bucket. If you watch the next video on the job, you’ll see I brought a different bucket with a cutting edge. It definitely helps and also saves the bucket. Thanks.
Nobody appreciates a good truck driver more than me but I also don’t ask drivers to do things that I wouldn’t do myself because I don’t want to beat up their trucks. It all worked out good. Thanks for watching we appreciate it 👍🏻
If you saw where I had to take this machine you might understand why I brought the skid loader.
