- Using my Bobcat s-185 Skid loader to repair a driveway leading to a parking lot I built, the stone I used in the first place didn't pack together as well as I had hoped so I fixed it by adding 3-4 inches of 2A limestone over top and compacting it with my International 4900 Dump Truck!

You are a good mechanic and a good equipment operator
Necessity is the mother of invention! Good job love your creativity ...keep up the good work.
Thanks for watching!
I enjoy watching you work that old iron, great to see it put to work, enjoy the videos . Watching from Minot ,North Dakota
Every time you post a video, it’s like you gain 10K subscribes, great job and congratulations! Keep the video coming!!!!
Thanks for watching! It is really incredible how much people enjoy these video! Happy to keep posting with such a positive response
Keep doing what your doing because you have a great channel. "Good, Better, Best. Never let it rest."Till your Good is Better and your Better is Best"
I like that saying! Thanks for watching!!!
In Norway we would have sprinkled salt,the kind you would have used during winter to remove ice on roads,on a roadway like this.It binds the dust and makes the gravel stick better together thereby making the roadway harder!
I’ve never heard of that one! Interesting. thanks for watching!!!
First off I love the channel super glad I found it & it’s becoming one of the best out there. It’s grown tremendous just sense I’ve found it & secondly the intro music is BAD A** my friend. Keep the videos coming buddy you’re doing awesome job. Also no better roller than a dual wheel dump truck loaded heavy.
Thanks for watching and supporting! My buddy Vinnie from the Semi-Supervillains makes all the music for the channel. Check them out on TH-cam (channel link in description) also here is the link to the full version of the intro song

Brandon M glad you like the music!!
Diesel Creek I ve got some lights for the rear of your bobcat also I can cut u a deal on a front door for the s185
Heavy dual wheel truck works as a great roller. I've done the same thing with my Chevy R30. I get round 15k total weight with 12' bed and dirt or stone and it packs a driveway down nice without rutting.
Thanks for watching!!
Nice creative job man !
Just a note from a retired marketing and advertising Old Geeser : You have a very clean looking truck and trailer combo. You should clean and repaint your skidsteer too. Just masking the rust spots would make it look a lot better.
Remember that people make themselves an idea on someone, a product or a business in only 3 seconds. And are very hard to change their minds afterwhile. First impression is very important in any business. Look at Letsdig 18, his equipment is always clean and look good.
I don't want to nag nag nag you, just to help ! Kudos man !
I appreciate the input, I’d like to get it painted up this year! I actually prepped it for paint like 2 years ago and then never got the time to do it.... Thanks for watching!!
Box scrapper on a tractor is what ya need.
You do nice work Matt
I use to run a bobcat 773 a lot when I use to be a heavy equipment operator and I noticed that using the rock bucket (the one with the teeth) was great for leveling ground. Because you could lift the rock bucket and tilt it in and use the teeth like a rake and drag rock bucket in ground causing it to loosen gravel and then go back and level bucket on ground causing it to level surface. I don't mean to tell you how to do or use your bobcat because you do an awesome job with it anyways, but just wanted to help you out with a idea if you didn't know already brother. Take care sir. Your friend Eric Houser
I appreciate the input, my tooth bucket needs a new skin welded on so it leaves all kinds of lines in the grade until i fix it thats why im using the smooth bucket Thanks for watching!!
Really like your videos keep them coming, as a retired truck driver I'am very interested in your A-car good luck.
Thanks for watching!
Most people don't realize how useful a bobcat is.
1.5 odot, Iam from Oklahoma, so that is what Dolese calls it, packs in the best when dealing with limestone. Basically 57, with screenings. Sometimes referred to crusher run
What I’m using here would be the closest thing we have to that in limestone, there is a place right across the line in WV that sells steel mill slag products. They have something that sounds a lot more like what you are describing.
I just seen a township dump truck with a roller attachment on the front of the truck.
Love the video's that your making keep them coming your channel will GROW!!!
Also like seeing you young guys getting into the construction industry insted of playing video games all day long just sayin
Thank you!! Glad you enjoyed the video too! Will definitely be making morr
Sometimes you have to get creative to get a job done. Nice job, keep up the good work!
Thank you!!
Amazing video
Thanks for watching!!
Good job man! Watching your videos here in Alabama!
Awesome! Thanks for watching!
Yeah 57s need more rock dust to help secure them when they get rolled or tamped in or even rolled in with a truck load of rock.
Good vid thank you for sharing from Darren in Plymouth, Devon, England.
Have you ever think about getting small roller? You wouldn't have to go back and forth alot.
On your Best stereo pap. I think you’ll really like it.
The drive up and lot look fantastic though
Listen and enjoy
If it's stupid, and it works, it ain't stupid!!
Have you ever considered being a backhoe loader? A good part of the things you do would be done easier i guess.
Thanks fore good videoes. Enjoying them here from Denmark.
Love the videos when doing you recon you will get to putting the kubota in your roller
I need to finish that for sure! thanks for watching!!!
I was wandering the same thing when you got done with the stone man. How long will it be until someone rearranges the stone. It looked good when it was done tho. Good job there. Thanks for sharing.
That was over a month ago now and I was out there a few days ago and it looked great still Thanks for watching!!!
Not sure of your exact location I think you said PA in another video but my local HD also rents equipment and they have very competitive prices IMO especially if you are in a pinch. Keep up the great content really looking forward to the Church series.
ours do too, however they dont have anything like what i was after. Thanks for watching!!
I had a bobcat like that 2005 s205 with steel tracks never like the tracks hated taking them off and on so we got a bobcat t450 track machine never wheeled machine ever agin no more flat tires for me
I want a track machine eventually but I don’t take the steel tracks off hardly ever so they aren’t a big deal... they do make a huge improvement over just tires
I just came across your channel and video this evening. I really enjoyed it. How did you go about charging for this project? Also, what do you charge to deliver a load of stone in your dump truck?
I’m probably gonna do a video about how I charge for things in the future because I get that a lot. I’ll tell you I did this one cheaper because it was almost like re-work I have an hourly rate I charge for machine time, have a minimum number of hours I charge for and also make sure I charge time for moving the machine to and from. As for stone delivery I typically double the price of stone as a rule of thumb. I buy it for 9.50 a ton and sell it for $19, and the truck can haul about 9.5 tons at a time. That covers my time and fuel within a certain area, outside that area I charge an additional delivery fee depending on distance usually $30 per load. I also have an advantage because the quarry is less than an air mile from my house. Thanks for watching!!!
you're the only person putting out videos over the holidays. You'd get more subs if you showed us more of roscoe
Ha! I can do that! But what about meatball!?? Thanks for watching!!!
One of the best substitute rollers when you can't get the real thing. I'm a former resident of Pa. myself, what area are you living in?
Washington county
Do you put your bucket controls in float when back grading? Do skidsteers have float? I've never been on one. Ive been trying to spread gravel with a tractor bucket and just cant get it to look that good.
Very rarely but yes they do have a float, tractors a whole different animal
@@DieselCreek I appreciate the reply. And yea, I figured. Utility tractors do a lot of things, but no one thing particularly well.
Zachary Adams ya just like a backhoe, but with some practice and patience I’m sure you can get it looking good tho, I’ve seen it done with tractors just fine. Anything beats a hand rake!
Any time sir like the videos
Have you ever used a vibratory sheeps foot roller? Hammer time!!
I’ve run plenty of rollers of all types and sizes, never run one on a skid steer tho!
G'day great job mate.
Thanks for watching!!!
There Ain't Noth'n like Wheel Roll'in.......
if its stupid and it works... then it aint stupid! Thanks for watching!
hey if you can't find'em grind'em
That’s right thanks for watching!!!
Nice
👍👍
Hola amigo muchas felicidades por tu trabajo muy bueno
Thanks for watching!!
good job
Thank you
Looks like the original was overworked or came with to few fines. Now you've got marbles in the middle. Our local gravel pit started this crap. They sort out the fines, send you marbles and then try to sell the lime/fines to fix it.
Yes, 57’s come with no fines
Its called CA-6 around here. Used to pack real nice until management changed. I try to wait until their summer pit is open and request it from there. It's more yellow and packs great.
Another pit south of us started mixing in crushed cement and selling it as CA-6 ...ugh. That's Illinois for you. Getten scammed everywhere you go.
👍
The music was insanely cool!!
Thanks! My buddy works hard on it! Like to his channel in the description!
Carolina Brand thank you!!
Not too bad a compaction job, but with that gravel,.I guess it'll be OK for a while. Do you plan on getting a vibratory roller on that when one becomes available,..or is that it?
Is that your 'pup' there sitting down on your trailer waiting for you to finish?
yes thats ol Rosco! vibratory rollers are available for skidloaders but very expensive. i have a tow behind roller ive done some videos on in the past. if you go to my playlists youll see them. ive been waiting on a part to complete it for some time now... Thanks for watching!!
@@DieselCreek OK then, I'll have a look soon. I am making a tow behind static roller for a buddy's tractor to haul around on his driveway. I offered to make it into an externally excited vibratory roller, but he's too cheap to spring for the extra cost of parts....hahahaha!
You are the cousin of Bob the builder
Just found you today by way of the Autocar Vids you did, which I really enjoyed. Been an Andrew Camarata subscriber for a long time so it was an easy decision to subscribe here as well once I saw what else you had on your channel.
A year from now, we plan on building a home and unlike our other homes, I plan on doing the earthwork myself. I've decided that a used skid-steer would be the most versatile machine for the whole job as I do not have the resources for an excavator or multiple other machines. My choice was a tracked machine but the prices seem high and the selection is limited compared to a wheeled unit. Will you give me a quick rundown on the pros and cons of using a wheel machine with the overlay tracks as you have on your S185 versus a dedicated track skid-steer? Finally, is it a lot of time and effort to remove those tracks or put them back on if one needs to do it? Thanks.
fridays video will talk alot about the tracks but they are a great addition to a wheeled machine! they give added stability over tires but still not as good as real tracks, they arent too bad to take on and off once you get the hang of it, tho I seldom take them off. if you can afford it id recommend getting a tracked machine but ultimately you can get by doing most things with tires.
I wonder how many cubic yards of gravel was needed for the parking lot and driveway. I bet a lot.👍
I used close to 150 tons if memory serves... not counting what I put on it in this video!
I really like that track system. What is the name of that please?
Grouser over the tire tracks
Diesel Creek, thx what does a set of those cost
you can pick them up used for about a 1000 usd in my area, new I think around 2800 but they are worth every penny... completely different machine!
Diesel Creek, thank you very much I love watching your channel!
@@takeastandorbeenslavedby-left awesome! thank you!
Out of curiosity what drone are you using? great video!
Dji mavic air Thanks for watching!!
Have to do what you have to do sometimes. Its the way she goes. Quick question for you? is that a coat on the floor of your truck around 15:30? if so where did you get it? I love the safety green stuff.
It is indeed, it was from an oil and gas safety store that we have here locally
Nice work ! How are things going with the Church?
Slow but I’m working on it, video coming soon!
Lov video bro.
Thanks for watching!!!
When do we get another video of the auto car
As soon as I get time to work on it some. As you could tell from the last video it’s not the best place to be working at the moment and I need to improve that space before I can really get into the meat of that project
Diesel Creek just put some plywood down and your good to go.
Lol
🙏
Thanks for watching!!!
What year did you start to make videos for youtube ????
Remember the stuff you did here
Amazin !
Thanks!
I like your name, Freebird !!
I just started your channel ..I watched the one where you packed the driveway gravel with you loaded truck...Then I started watching you older ones about swapping out the motor on your roller.I watched 4 of them but never found the one where you completed the swap..Are you still working on that project/
Unfortunately yes! I’ve been waiting on a part to be made for the roller and I think I’m going to get it made elsewhere because I’m sick of waiting! There will be a video as soon as I get it done!
I was wondering if there was going to be a final video on that ..thanks for the videos I enjoy them
Glad to hear it!! Stick around plenty more to come!
Where are you located? You're smarter than you look. Like the videos. Thanks Dave in OH
western PA Thanks for watching!!
What is your full-time job?
im an operator on large scale construction projects! usually running a production hoe! Thanks for watching!!
Do y'all have the 5% Pugh mix up there?
im not familiar with that, ive traveled around doing work and seems like every quarry sells the same product under different names. so we may, just not sure what that is exactly
@@DieselCreek
Pugh with concrete mix
We use it after milling the roads before the resurfacing
riding a skeeter is no fun. I'll be like having Parkison lol..
I love running a skid loader, wish I had a better one but she’s been good to me!
@@DieselCreek I have a t190, it is an awesome little machine, after running a skid,the track machine is way more solid feeling. Looks like the best solution for the drive way is asphalt or concrete.
Why roll it. Why not just let the nautral traffic roll it ?
because the likely hood that someone would spin it up and cause another hole before it was packed was high, also they wouldn't get the edges and a heavy rain may wash it out, also my truck will pack that harder than cars would get in several weeks of travel. its not a super busy lot.
Don't you fix the autocar truck dose not move it right. I honestly enjoyed this video aslo Bobcat s-185 Skid loader to repair a driveway leading to a parking lot I built, the stone I used in the first place didn't pack together as well as I had hoped so I fixed it by adding 3-4 inches of 2A limestone over top and compacting it with my International 4900 Dump Truck! :)
Thanks for watching!!!
Were is your roller?
Check the channel, I’ve done some videos on it, I haven’t been able to get it completed, waiting on a custom part... Thanks for watching!!
In which state are u living in?
Western PA
What kind of air horn and what kind of engine
Dt466 and I don’t have a clue what kind of horn.
@@DieselCreek can you look for a 10 foot dump bed for me and where did get that control box for the up and down for the dump box
I would have started that job by first taking the bobcat and angling the bucket more toward the vertical and then raised the wheels off the ground to cut down the high points to level. Then add the gravel to the low points then back-blade to grad. and ground pound if needed to finish. ..... (just an old man's suggestion.)
the way the gravel was the machine would have just spun its wheels if I did that, some of the larger rock had come up through the top coat because of people spinning, so i just laid it all back down as flat as possible (carrying the material up the slope) then put the top coat on! Thanks for watching!!
@@DieselCreek I bought a land plane from Titan equipment it works great and not a bad price. Im like you and do the same on the side I can send you some pics if you like
Is it straight piped
The international? Yes.
В этой штуке сидишь как в сортире...
17:24 что ты такое делаешь?
compacting the driveway. Thanks for watching!!
