Koi Pond Removal: Mini Skid Front Hoe To The Rescue!
In this video, I am dismantling a koi pond for a customer using my Vermeer 925 with mini skid steer front hoe attachment. The front hoe is made by Lofflin Fabrication purchased from Express Steel.
This job required removal of the pond liner, plumbing and back filling with soil. The customer wanted to keep the boulders and create a backyard rock garden. She left the design up to me! I don't typically design landscaping and wasn't really sure what to do with this many boulders! But as you will see in the video I lay them out in a half circle pattern. The customer was very pleased with the end result which made the job that much more satisfactory!

Power Raking, Land Plane, Stump Grinder, Root Grapple...and The Kitchen Sink!
zhlédnutí 2,2KPřed 21 dnem
This customer wanted all the landscaping removed down to bare ground so he could sod his side yard. I removed the ground ivy, hostas, some buried landscape pavers and a few stumps. Once all of that was cleared I ran my MTW Power Rake over the whole area to bust up any remaining surface roots and till the soil. Then using the leveler/land plane I push and drag the soil to create a better slope f...

Who's That Hiding Behind The Concrete?!

In this video, I transform old, busted up concrete into a nicely manicured crushed limestone driveway. This customer needed this concrete removed fast because of recent renovations to the garage. The water flows towards their garage, and they just recently updated it to be living space. They want to avoid any water going into the garage. So, I am removing the concrete with my Toro breaker hamme...
Dog Sport Arena UPGRADE
zhlédnutí 776Před 3 měsíci
This customer had a pole barn built a few years ago to practice their dogs. They compete in dog sports. When the barn was built, they had a clay silt put down on the floor. But soon they realized it was too dusty and became too hard packed to practice their dogs. After some research by the customer, they needed to add a few inches of mason sand to the entire floor. This will reduce the dust and...
Peaceful Power Raking- A Pothole Story!

SHHHHHH...SOMEONE IS GOLFING! Remove fence, don't get hit by a golf ball!
zhlédnutí 755Před 4 měsíci
My customer today needed his entire back fence line cleared. There is a chain link fence buried within the vegetation. I went through and cut fence first before I started folding up the vines. This was interesting because I was working right next to a golf course and the 14th green was directly on other side of fence. I worked quick and got out of there fast!
Tear DOWN This Wall: Mini Skid Steer vs. Colossal Concrete Block Wall

    Watching you work the mini skid steer, I couldn’t help but think this job really would have been easier with a true mini excavator. That attachment although useful at times, isn’t a substitute for the real thing. Have you ever considered getting a mini excavator?

    • @SchottServices
      @SchottServices Před 17 dny

      It would have never got back there! Or at least without taking out fencing, etc! That was part of the reason I showed the pathway there because it was so narrow. I have thought about it but have never ran one or had a huge need for it. Easier, possibly. But by the time I got the mini ex back there I would have been halfway done with the mini skid steer!

    • @NFAtoys
      @NFAtoys Před 17 dny

      @@SchottServices the smaller mini excavators have retractable tracks that can move in and out so the width of the entire machine can be as narrow as 29” to 42” depending on the machine brand and model. I’ve seen video of them driving through a house door.

      @NFAtoys Před 17 dny

      @@SchottServices yes, those are really nice. But that type of attachment can’t usually be found on the sub 2 ton micro and mini excavators. The rotor attachment itself weighs so much it would degrade the lift capability of the mini excavator to the point of diminished returns. You have to move up to the 3 ton range of machines before those types of attachments are practical.
