Kids Ball Field Transformation Start To Finish 

The field looks fantastic Pete! Glad to see you enjoying your NEW ABI Force! Thanks so much for sharing!

Who could down vote this video? A businessman donating his services to his community 🤦‍♂️

Really wish you did around the bases

Pete, your vision for growing your business is awesome! Do it for free, learn the machine and sell it, and your knowledge to grow your business. Great Insight!!!!

Grew up playing ball there, I look forward to seeing how it looks when I get back home in September. Great Work

Amazing rig

Looks great! Why didn't you cut pass the bases to shape the field more like a baseball diamond? Does this machine work on the grassy area?

Before you start working on that infield make sure you pick the bases up and also watch out for the base anchors

You can see the line of where the infield should extend beyond the bases.

please come to Ripon California and fix our Varsity baseball field at Ripon High School

I came here just to listen to him talk ❤️

PETE! This is GREAT! Appreciate you showing @ABIAttachments the love! Great work, field looks fantastic.

Pete you might want to check out my favorite book "Sports Fields, A Manual for Design Construction and Maintenance". I'm a little concerned you're going to take work away from dedicated volunteers.

Pretty cool machine - any why not go all the way out to the original size of the diamond?

"I got it for free from good ole fashion" *Ad* Perfect timing

Doing free practice sessions on middle school fields is the definition of doing the lords work. Not taking a wage until the wage is earned, while helping out the kids. Well done Pete.

did you ever start the gci turf pro program

Business Owners..... #getyournumbersright #lasergrade Niceeeee machine! Pete have you thought about doing a basefield infield and outfield? Lay down some stripes and smooth the infield too?

Love the videos Pete, as a youth baseball coach in Northern Virginia I think i can speak for the folks down your way on this one. You getting all these ball fields back playable and safe is going to open so many opportunities for leagues and teams in the area. Great work!!

Fixing those fields is a great way to give back to your community!!! Go Pete, it looks like behind the bases need some Glyphosate 41

I loved this! And he sounds a little lika Forrest gump 👍🏼

Pete, you've got yourself a massive money maker there. I use to do the ripping, cultivating and leveling on a much larger scale but downsizing to that small is beyond ideal. Not only can you knock out the ball fields, but you can lay the groundwork for above ground pools which are a big ticket item out here in CA. I will say the laser leveling does has some faults, like if the job is big enough or dirt is fine enough the dust clouds will affect the laser at a distance. Last 2 years on the farm we had GPS for the leveling bucket and it mapped it out on the screen as you went. That right there was the bee's knees. You'll be able to do storage, garage, or other out building pads as well. You got yourself a winner right there man, beautiful little piece of machinery. I look forward to more video's with it. Makes me want one really bad but I'm on a budget that's below the average beggar around here so not in the foreseeable future. Thanks for sharing man.

Very impressive Pete! It's always a best job with the right equipment. No matter the price. It will set you apart from everyone else

That's gonna work great for your renovation to get your yard butter smooth . Super nice equipment Pete

Wish I'd had that when I was Little League Pres and HS grounds helper. Cool beans! I do have a Ventrac Contour Mower in good condition + that I no longer use (your "fault" for convincing me to mow higher LOL) Max height is 3.5" and will mow as low as you dare to go and does not scalp. Stripes GREAT. Let me know if you want to consider for those Bermuda fields. Otherwise I will let dealer sell it.

This is awesome Pete! We've never seen an abiFORCE before. This was a ton of fun to watch. Thanks!

wow, you really started with a wrecked field to show what that machine can do - nice

14:05 ish......love the footprints walking away in the fresh surface.

Dagum Pete non-pneumatic tires and all! That’s one sweet machine! The blessing are so abundant for you this year! God bless!

I want to do a ride along with Pete. Just watch, learn, and of course help. Way cool, Pete.

Played lots of baseball Pete. Worked plenty of fields high school and college. Not bad for a t ball field. Given the fact that you just move the dirt bc no one else has at least in this decade.I’m gonna say I love you brother but you need some tips. I’m gonna need you to bring a shovel next time you work on a baseball field lol. All you did was drag the field like you see at a seven inning stretch brother except you had a machine doing it instead of fancy stadium workers pulling their chain. That baseball field needed edging around the infield. Kudos to trying something new though.

It may be slightly out of your range, but Northview ball park in Sanford, NC could really use some attention, poor drainage.

Looking pretty good for a learning curve. Now kids and older kids can play safety without the fear of stepping into a rut and injuring themselves.

WOW! I thought our Little League fields were bad! Too bad we can't afford that type of equipment.

The grass has grown into the infield, 1st 2nd and 3rd base are all still surrounded by grass. You can see the original shape of the infield from the aerial shot if you look closely and yet nothing was done to reshape. The part that was done looks much better, but I see this as an incomplete job.

I think removing the extra grass around the bases would have been a nice touch, regardless it looks great for one of your first jobs with the machine.

Pete, I appreciate you taking the time out of your busy schedule to bring us all these videos. I really enjoy watching. I started my own painting business after 20 years of painting for another company. 3 years in and its the greatest thing I could have done. Really enjoy your videos on running a business. Hopefully you can bring us more of those in the future.

Are you anywhere near Morehead City, NC? I have a middle school ball field that needs your help.

The machine is like $26,000-$30,000 if anyone was wondering 😊

You still owe us all a view of you hitting the ball out of the park🤣. I think it was one of your first ball field ventrac video. ⚾️

Wow Pete you really knocked it outta the park scoopin' that rig . . . and oh man the work it can do that goes hand in hand with yer business is super cool . Congrats on your new baby heh heh !!

wow, great job pete.. perfect tool for the job!

Me being a baseball player all I can say all you need to do is compact your infields so that they don’t have any bad hops and no one wants to play an a field where they feel like they’re sinking into the dirty or kicking dirt around

You needed to slide into home plate.............also has Sam Page given you a shirt??

Laser graded renovation? I bet Connor is going to be calling you soon.

I SUBBED, Great content, love the vids. Keep up the great work!

My mountain bike dirt jump maintenance mind just had a braingasm

That's a sweet machine! Good for you Pete!

Get your infield right!

It looks like you could have cut deeper into the outfield grass, which has encroached farther into the infield than you perhaps noticed. The infield dirt should extend past the bases.

Hey brother in Christ. Where can I get one of those John bracelets ?

Love your work Pete but I have to ask... Why don't you pull the bases and home plate?! 😖

How does the laser system work when putting a crown in the field? You don’t really want it perfectly flat.

Cool video, and that field is looking much better. Still needs some shaping, but I see you already know that and plan on making a video on it...

U really took that long to do all that and trust me people thats easy!!!

You need air in your tires

Pete, It’s a delight to see you explore a differentiated market using a strategy most people have forgotten about, practice makes perfect, and invest to be the best...payback comes with quality service. Awesome sauce as my kids would say!

Awesome! So happy for you to be blessed to have the opportunity to work with sports fields making them #1, safe for the kids and #2, hopefully more fun for the kids. I drug an old section of a farm harrow with a 250 Kawasaki three wheeler around the ball field I maintained in the late 90's.

Pete - have you ever tried using this equipment or the VEntrac ballpark groomer to do any lawn leveling after top dressing?

I love these ball field videos! God bless brotha

Rewatched! I absolutely love the fact that you do fields, your attention to detail and the pride you have in your work is second to none! Love hearing your commentary and strategy to get the project completed. It is literally instant satisfaction!

You could have done all of this with a ventrac

Because that’s what hero’s do

wish you would have cut around the bases

Nice machine, Pete. Very versatile and compact for all that it does. My question is what about the outfield? The outfield needs to be level and well maintained also. Does that machine work for the outfield too or is there another machine for outfield work and leveling?

Get some field conditioner on that field!

I didn't realize it until you said it Pete, but I'm an equipment junkie too! Great job on that ballfield transformation, and great idea on getting some neglected fields to practice on for free. I'm looking forward to seeing more of your work.

That compact ABI with laser grading is spectacular...question...gonna build again...gonna not do fill for my dirt...gonna do top 2 inches of my property some good top soil...my question: what is an excellent grade for a property with an acre or 2? I have 15 degrees away from the house; how does that sound?

Why didn’t you use the fields lights?

Love that you are Pushing it....to the limit on this ball field!!!!

Back in the day we used Randsome equipment, l worked on them for the city, wow that’s awesome technology on your new machine, great videos and info

Why did you not remove the bases to give the outside edge that nice clean look?

Perfect game plan. After seeing you do a different ballfield with that awesome Ventrac I was really wondering why you didn't just use it lmao.

That thing looks like it would do a awesome job at renovating a yard after it was smoked out. Those ripper teeth would loosen the soil nicely and you could drag it smooth and apply your seed and drag it again.

Having learned from experience, I find that it helps to remove the bases and pitcher's plate when dealing with a very bad field.

You had me at "laser grade"

I love your shirt man. And I love how a hardworking man like you is documenting your work. I've just stated to watch you but I love your vids

Hey Pete, ya got ya new toy. I see GCI Turf Services are cornering the market. "Get at em Pete"!!

Is this in Davidsonville?

That's a cool machine.

My school uses a pallet with big nails in it lmao. They drag it behind a tractor😂😂

But Pete can't the ventactor do that... Lol.. Keep pushing forward...

That's so cool Pete!!!

I for one wouldn’t have been concerned even if you acquired your new equipment due to RU-vid/product review. Either way it would have been due to your hard work and something tells me you would still have been unbiased in your review. God bless!

Man that thing improved that field tremendously!! What size is the field? I see that the bases are pushed out in the grass.

You are my hero, Pete! This is exactly what I would love to do in the future in my area. Keep up the great work!

Amazing job!

first reaction was wow something must have happened with him in the ventrac been long before you said that I thought well this man is very successful in what he does and he knows if you're not learning new tricks you're getting left behind I love the channel I've learned quite a bit from you if you see this can you tell me if festive you will grow in Florida in a well shaded Oak covered yard I love that deep rich color look forward to more videos on the new machine I think field maintenance is strangely entertaining and fascinating

Great work Pete. Get yourself an airfield account. Maybe they'll have a gravel runway you can fix up.

Couldn't take my eyes away from those airless tires. Very innovative! 😁

Why didnt you go around the bases? Job looks good, but only half finished.

Lots of money to be made in athletic fields.... I work for a company that dose that line of work.... To installs to maintenance.... We even do installs of artificial turf.... Big money there.... Best of luck

Looks good Pete! At least they can use the field without taking a ball off the chin!

Right on. Show more ball fields, before and after.

Do a great job. Enjoy watching your videos. Have a bless day

Add GPS and self driving Tesla truck and no operator needed

Sent you a present for the Fourth of July

Pete that is a awesome machine and you said it best at the end. You have to have something to sell your service and that laser grading will do it.

Really enjoying these ball field videos!

Pete, again great job and look forward to seeing upcoming videos on this!!
