Brilliant Mikey - superb to see the Master back in the saddle and ON SITE., That 4' ripper is awesome, ripping the stumps, good to see it in action. The road, yup, the construction traffic will rip it up during the build But tis got good foundations and easy repaired. Once the property is completed, a little dressing up, see how the swales drain away....good stuff.
I watched a DP video from a couple years ago when you guys were all in FL at Ritchie Bros. Associations with other RU-vidrs really helps grow the channel. I watch 5-6 channels religiously…I’m adding Dirt Boss to that group. Some channels have good content, but aren’t entertaining, but I really enjoyed what you do. Keep it up.
@@DIRT-BOSS yeah mean no offense to your work. You did a great job. Just meant that driveway is steep!!! My parents lived at the top of a hill like that and it was brutal. Their driveway wasn’t heated though.
People slid off the sides a bunch of times in the snow and ice. They had a bunch of pines though, which blocked the sun from melting ice in some places.
Boss man… starting at 3:15 the song “Smooth Operator” by Sade started playing in my mind. Watching how every swing of the boom was purposeful and seeing its backswing perfectly blend into the next task was a thing of beauty…. It carried, like an Ear Worm through the rest of the video. What a joy to watch!
The video didn't show how steep the drive is too well, but suffice to say, the video did show how small the deer were compared to where you were at the bottom and the way the tipper struggled..... I would aay it is a steep gradient 😮 Your 160 made short work of the stumps. The right attachment made it look easy 💪💪💪
Great vid as always Mike! that 160 Makes stumping look easy compared to my 35 lol!h Look into getting a hydraulic quick coupler for that machine, im sure one of the companies out there makes one. Also i've noticed when I reply more on the ripper curl to break the roots more than I do the stick movement it tends to throw you around a lot less. Not sure if that'd apply to the 160 or not.
You know, it took someone just LIKE YOU to invent that *RIPPER* since you're. *COME ON - OUT OF THE WAY - NOW* Production is your mode with no time to waste! *NICE SHOTS OF THAT RIPPER **7:00** DO WHAT IT WAS BORN TO DO* ! *HERE **14:29** is a DOUBLE HEADER just like Base-a-Ball* ! Thank you BOSS!
Nice work man ! I have to stick up for the Takeuchi😂. I’ve picked up the back of not old Volvo 6wheeler and pushed it across a mud lot loaded with stumps! I think the Kabota and Takeuchi are built very similar.
I love your ripper…..you were killing it. What I didn’t understand (not Italian) is the comment about the root ball making you hungry….I tried to look it up, but couldn’t find out what a Buju (or Baju) was. Probably my spelling was off
@@DIRT-BOSS thank you !! My hearing sucks…I tried a few times to hear it. Most of all, I appreciate the humor and the effort you took to make it happen when that stubborn stump wouldn’t cooperate. I saw what you were talking about but only now can enjoy the joke. It was worth it (to me). I appreciate your channel!
Oh yeah! On another note Mike, I have been seeing a lot of Doosan excavators in the northeast. Not sure how well they operate or reliable they are, but they are nice looking machines. Back on site!
Is it some code or something to use that stone on the road? Why not use a RR ballast, or quarry rock 3 to 6 to build road within 6 in of final grade. Trucks don’t spin out and you don’t have a ton of repairs after construction deliveries.
Is that a driveway or a causeway? I hope it doesn't snow much there. Seems too easy to end up in a ditch! Some lots are better choices than others, I guess.
