BOBCAT SOIL CONDITIONER & BOBCAT T190 ~ Yard Prep for Seeding
zhlédnutí 1,3KPřed 2 měsíci
Here is a little time lapse of preparing a lawn for seeding. The Bobcat soil conditioner did a great job of removing the rocks and pushing them off into rows. I was able to easily gather them up with the skid steer/loader bucket. This soil conditioner has proven to be a great investment! This attachment has brought in a lot of new customers! I hope you enjoy the video! Thank you, Howie and Kell...

Loader Plowing Deep Snow!
zhlédnutí 2,5KPřed 4 měsíci
I went out on the front end loader to open up a few roads that were unpassable. This particular road was plowed on one end, but the grader wasn't able to make it all the way through as the snow was too deep. I would say the snow was at least a good four feet deep. It was a lot of fun, but then I had to get back to the shop for another job before I could do a nice job tidying up. Hope you enjoy ...

The road conditions were unpredictable for a while. We had a bit of everything for a few days here in NS. It was a little too wet to put any cameras outside the truck...but I think I managed to show what is happening here in Nova Scotia so far this season. We haven't had any big snow yet; it is still very early in the season! Stay safe out there everyone and thank you for your support! Thank yo...

On our first day back on call for the 23/24 winter works plow season we got hit with an early snowfall and were back in the saddle. We had more snow during this event than we had for the entire month of December last year. It was a heavy wet snow and it made for some nice scenery the next day which always makes plowing even more enjoyable. Stay safe on the roads this winter! Hope you enjoy the ...

the D11R best dozer Cat ever made
I am watching on July 16 2024 with temps in the mid 90s and what a way to cool off. Magically snow is moved by the blade and I am hanging my head out the window as we plow the main road, man i'm cold
We are doing this next week to a local church field to use for my son’s team. How do you pack the dirt back down a bit so it’s not quite so loose. Or am I over thinking it.
…Like antennas to heaven
Pothole took me out on my bike. This shit makes be beyond furious. Fix the damn roads!!!!!!!!!
Looks like organized chaos. Loader going here, dozer crossing over pushing up what the excavator is tossing. And a baby 14 blade thrown in the mix with what looks like a LeTourneau loader and a shovel in the background. Honestly it looks like a Peabody New Mexico coal mine operation. Lol.
I don't know how you can be working like that.. Demo or not so many Safety Violations..
“Global boiling”
I have been in the fiel drainage business in central Mo. have seen some 2” 3” and 4” clay tile but none with a flat bottom. Have seen some 4” belled in 3’section some 2”and some 4” hexagonal field tile. In this part of Missouri.
Yeah, this was the first time I saw clay pipe like this. It was on a old farm property next to mine here in Nova Scotia, Canada
Rewatched! Soik conditioners make a great impact. Love it, freat comtenr!
Good little video Howie.
Love it! Thanks for sharing! Stay safe and stay healthy!
Nice reverse skills
Oh i love rhe baseball field diet work with soil conditioner! This is outstanding and love it! Liked, Viewed, Subscribed!
Thank you so much 👍
Nice job. That didn’t take long at all😉
Crazy how some of those trucks make a D11 look small.
Love these turtles. Looks like she got 9 lives by the look of her shell. Good girl. Awesome to see more than 1.
Thinking about buying one to blow under pine needles as fire prevention. It would be for an MT100. Do you think it’s the right tool for that job?
Love the soill conditioner, grounds looking amazing.
Thank you! Cheers!
Great little video Howie. I’d love to have a power rake for my tractor but they are costly.
Yeah, not cheap but worth the money.
Is that rig able to strip the grass of of an older lawn ?
Yeah but it's best to cut the grass fairly low before power raking so it does a nicer job.
Looks awesome! I'm so glad I got that attachment. Worth it for sure.
Definitely! I wish I bought this attachment back in 08 when I first bought my skid steer.
Great job once again! Thanks for another terrific video!
Thanks! Glad you liked it!
Nice work! I enjoy watching machine operators who know how to operate machines operate machines. 🤔🍺
Glad you enjoyed it
How much and where to pickup?
Already Sold
Where you at and how much?
Sorry it's sold!
Great video Joe, well done!
Thanks for the visit
Rewatched! Impressive content, finished result is the best!
Just posted another soil conditioner video for ya
Engine?
Need a ripper
Merci d'avoir partagé ton expérience, il a l'air tellement plus stable que celui à roue qu'on oublierait presque qu'il peut se retourner 😊
Thanks for watching!
🙏🙌👏🇻🇪💰😭
Great video! Going to try this
Did it work?
What’s the difference between T190 with 4 idler rollers and 3 idler rollers?
I LOVE THIS,FOR MY YARD,DO THEY HAVE PAYMENT PLANS.
Nothing worse than changing all those damn teeth everyone works smooth together skid steer guy was good so was the guy on the baby milling machine
Rewatched! Soil conditioner is the best!
The problem there is your wasting good soil, that has balled up with rolling down the screen. This is to much waste. Back to the drawing board. 75% of the waste pile is good balled topsoil.
Without your excavator with the thumb, that looks like it would have been an almost impossible job. We had an icestorm in 2008 that just destroyed a small pine grove behind my home. Couldn't walk through it. Started on the outskirts and just kept cutting and sorting. I burned brush, limbs, shattered wood for a week in the Spring. Salvaged some, but everything was split inside from the weight they bore before shattering. It's enjoyable watching your skill.
Great video! If you don't mind me asking, what blades are you running on the front and the wing? Thanks!
C'est sûr qu'utiliser le ripper quand le D11R grimpe une côte, ça va pas le faire car il a 113 tonnes supplémentaires à tirer.
Is rocktop a new type of tree? 🤣🤣🤣🤣 looks like you boys had fun anyways that’s always good. Thanks for the look at the storm damage.
Awesome work, Bud.
Excellent video, thanks for posting it .
Someone has worked a felling crew for a couple years. it looks like the hurricane also did a good job of thinning down that stand. It looks like it needed it and There are years worth of stovewood seasoning now.
That is a mess that is going to take years. At least you have things trimmed back to where you have some access. Too bad you didn't have a machine that could handle a full size logging head, it would have gone a lot faster I expect.
Sure is a lot of work! Great job! Stay safe and stay healthy!
Big help with your excavator being there Jim , and another excellent video..
Rewatched! Love the channel ans content!
