I see you're a fan of Victory Concrete. I've been watching Ryan's crew for a year. I just stumbled across your work. I don't know why this 58 y.o. nurse likes watching concrete jobs or Bama bass builds but I do. I hope you're as successful as Ryan at Victory. It seems y'all do quality so this channel will grow!
I admire how real you are. Also it’s cool how you look out for quality work instead of just getting the check. Two major reasons your company will continue to succeed. Another reason is your crew. 😇
I've been watching Victory Outdoor Services for two years now and your video came on to my timeline. These concrete videos are very entertaining and going to try to watch your other videos this week.
Like always great work guys and to you Rick great way of explaining to your customers about what could go wrong with low temperatures. And 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼for mentioning your concrete Conrad Ryan
Kubota SVL 75 all day. You have to try one. The breakaway force it has is hard to beat. It also has a really convenient cab layout with a sliding door so you dont have to be boomed all the way up or down to get out of the machine.
Just found your channel reminds me of my concert/ masonry days now I’m a welder/fabricator/mechanic. I like you more then victory if you know who that’s is on CZcams you gained a new sub and notification follower big dawg keep pouring and scoring boss man
I used to get my quantities with different formulas also but when i started teaching the guys it would get confusing to some. Sqft ÷ 81 = concrete yardage. To get tons of rock multiply that same number by 1.4. Or divide the first one by 72 and it accounts for extra.
Length x width x height /27 gives you your cubic yards x 2 if your aggregate is smaller then 2”, this will give you your total tons plus a small waste factor. 2” aggregate & larger multiply by 1.5 to calculate your total tonnage.
Dump trucks can be such a pain in the ass. A good friend of mine invested in one and used it for rentals. He blew the transmission and he had no profit for like four months. They can make you good money obviously, but man it’s expensive if you have issues. Always make sure you have a good driver. Looks like you do hopefully😂
I used to haul bulk powder concrete, but I got dried out from the dust and am Diabetic and started passing out hauling almost 80,000 down the Grapevine in California. Delivered the load for the High Speed Rail job, fueled my truck parked it then hopped in my pick-up went to hospital and was admitted for 3 days due to severe dehydration and haven't been able to work since, that was 2 years ago. Concrete work isn't a joke whether wet or dry work it draws fluid from you. Stay hydrated even in the cold.
Nice job For the skid steer i would say if your happy stick with that brand. Sometimes new is not always better. All the computers and emissions shit is always going to be a pain. I did some driveway removal for a paving company this summer. I think i did about 8-10 ripping out in a day moving gravel and loading dump trucks. It was very efficient putting it out on the road. Its great that you care alot about the quality of your work. So many people get way to motivated by money. I am sure most people understand that if its too cold to pour the concrete. Great video guys 🙂
i’d recommend, Gehl or Manitou skids, if you like the hydraulic over hydraulic controls you’ll love Manitou or gehl they are the same machine basically just different branding, they run great id recommend a 1900R or a 2200R for specific models!!
I run a Deere 324G. I prefer Bobcat but I've always had a problem with parts, sure you can go aftermarket but my personal style for a new machine is OEM. CAT is always a good option, parts are always readily available and the units operate similar to a Bobcat. I will say though, compare the 324G to it's competition in the same size/weight class and you'll be surprised with Deere. Very strong machine. Never operated anything outside of a case wheel loader so I can't speak on their skids.
Hey Bro You’re right, you don’t have to explain yourself, but it’s good that you did. There’s a lot of people who really don’t get it that time is money. Using your time efficiently is in the top 5 of priorities in running a business. I think Case is a very good machine. You might remember in the 80s Case was a big deal. It was all you saw on trailers- the Case with loader and backhoe. Well Brother, thank you for another great video, y’all be sure to stay warm. I always felt like a damn burrito wearing a couple shirts, longjons and overalls. Take care Brother I’ll be looking forward to your next one🤘
Hang in there ! Heck I retired once and then went back to work ( just me / contractor, doing finish carpentry). Did not hv to just like to work? Hunt/ fish; but travel guy? No! Already in thee best Country in the World buddy! Great channel!
New to your channel. Thanks for the explanation and info. Just like watching men work, without a boss holding their hand with every little detail. If I kept telling my paid workers to pick tools up, clean up and wash stuff off. Then I think They need another profession. ❤😊
We had a newer 580 case backhoe and had nothing but problems with the wiring so we got rid of it. When I’m ready to buy a skid steer it will be a Kubota or a Takeuchi I think.
Stubbled across this channel…..it’s not bad….I kinda watch everything in between…victory ODS n parley revival is in my top five list…. So I’m gonna check out some of your previous videos n check ‘em out
Just found your CZcams channel, great work. I have done concrete work oh some 35 years ago(I'm 62 now). I purchased a home sometime back that has a dirt driveway, I've been looking around and getting prices. I'm in georgia, but everyone wants to use a fiberglass filler. Never heard of this before. What's your input on this? It's a 120 X 16 X 5. Thanks. Ps wish you was closer.
Another great video as always, you guys are definitely more interesting to watch than any other concrete channel. Your content and the quality of work you guys do is 💯 better than anyone else. Your channel will definitely be bigger than those other guys if you stick with it, they only have more subs because they have been around longer. Ryan only does square driveways and his biggest accomplishments are when he cuts it up into small squares he tries to make that exciting. Wish you guys all the best and Happy Holidays 👍🎅
With the new B series case they fixed a lot of the case wiring issues! And I have noticed you run H pattern controls? You can’t get that with every make!
number 4 rerod is to much for a 4 inch driveway as time goes by and the rerod rusts in a few places it will swell and start popping the concrete surface unless its placed LOWER in the concret not halfway but lower
check out kubota's epic machines. the only tractor that gives me problems is my bobcat. everything else is kubota even back to early 2000's noooooo problems
I was thinking “ridgid ain’t that bad it just isn’t the best” then he takes 45 seconds and three restarts to cut a 2x4 that isn’t even PT😂😂 My brushed 6 year old Milwaukee could do that with a 2.0 battery quicker lol
@chancenebeker4481 We stay busy all year. Some years, we may have a couple weeks here and there we can't pour, but for the most part, we stay working all year 🤘
gravel and concrete are not even close if your using the concrete measurement for gravel a yard of concrete weighs 4000 pounds and your saying gravel takes up 2 times as much space as concrete 2 different types of volumes so what you call 8 yards of concrete is not the same as 8 TONS OF GRAVEL your method works on concrete but not gravel at 4 inches

Concrete's ordered.....
Easy money
Victory and Bama Bass 👍

Man you have a great channel. Really enjoy how you go over the details on your jobs. Keep up the good work 👍

Takeuchi is a great machine I would highly recommend if you have a dealer close they last and have a lot of power and the roll up door is great
New Holland is what we use but we’re only digging fence post. We have three of them and they were great. I’m pretty sure new Holland makes case.
Just found your channel reminds me of my concert/ masonry days now I’m a welder/fabricator/mechanic. I like you more then victory if you know who that’s is on CZcams you gained a new sub and notification follower big dawg keep pouring and scoring boss man

We have a Jcb 270t and love it. Power wise it’s really impressive. Visibility is 10x better then in any other machine.!
Nice to see your dump truck running again. Thanks for the videos.
Thanks 👍
I really like the Kubota SVL752 skid steer a lot of power and the door slides up instead of out . Handy when the bucket is raised !
Thanks!
Bobcat T650 way to go. Bobcat all the way most reliable track loader i’ve ran.

Thanks! I'm sure I'll stick with Case 😁🤘
Watching these videos. Makes me want to work for a concrete contractor.
😁🤘
Showing the beauty and hustle of Stl. I can’t wait to move back from the Air Force we will be working together hopefully!
Call when you get here, sir. Thanks again for your service
I love our kubota skid steer the roll up door is great to. I always ran new holland so basically similar to your case id take kubota any day.
i’d recommend, Gehl or Manitou skids, if you like the hydraulic over hydraulic controls you’ll love Manitou or gehl they are the same machine basically just different branding, they run great id recommend a 1900R or a 2200R for specific models!!

💯🇺🇸🤘
Awesome Video and Much Love as Always!!!
Thank you! 🤘
I highly recommend a Cat 259D3 we own a concrete company in Michigan and works great for our concrete removals.
LUV the flip up door on the skid. wouldn’t give it up
🤘
sneaked over from Victory, pulled up a chair and staying.
😁🤘
Another good video I hope Milwaukee does call thank you my brother
Thank you! 🤘
Great show keep up the good work
New to your channel. Thanks for the explanation and info. Just like watching men work, without a boss holding their hand with every little detail. If I kept telling my paid workers to pick tools up, clean up and wash stuff off. Then I think They need another profession. ❤😊
You guys Rock!
Takeuchi TL10V2. Perfect size machine for tearing out with a ton of power. Wouldn’t have anything but Takeuchi
Look into kubota skid loaders. I work in the demolition field and these machines last for so long and the run really good
Takeuchi tl12v2. Best track loader on the market
Didn’t think y’all would be pouring up north this time of year, lots of calcium I reckon.
We Live our 325G track JOHN Deere. Our favorite, but we have mostly Bobcats and a New Holland, which is set up just like Case I believe
🤘
Great work it’s funny you say 8 tonnes of gravel we say it in yards 8 yards 🇨🇦
😁🤘
Best part Ithink about your channel. You guys are real men. I mean you all just look and walk and breath Badass. See real men.
Thank, brotha 🤘💪😎
We had a newer 580 case backhoe and had nothing but problems with the wiring so we got rid of it. When I’m ready to buy a skid steer it will be a Kubota or a Takeuchi I think.
🤦♂️
We run a Cat 289d3. Everything else we have is Case or Takeuchi. Our local Luby Equipment is really awesome to work with.
🤘
I hope milwaukee is listening that would be great advertising for them thanks for another great video
Thank you! 🤘
It would help if that blade wasn't completely cooked.
You definitely got a great crew.
Thanks, brotha! 🤘
We have 2 bobcat t870`s and a new t86. All heavy machines but push like no get out. Had the cat 299hxp`s before and had some big problems with both.
Thanks!
Happy birthday Gina 🎂 ✌👍
🎉🥳😁🤘
Just ripping out driveway improved curb appeal for house
Get a Bobcat, had them for years, kind of partial my dad worked at the plant for 43 years
Nice work man.
Thank you! 🤘
Looks good, Rick😊
Thanks 👍
Can't recommend "the beak" attachment by Daniel Manufacturing enough. Would make your tear outs incredibly efficient.
I would love to get one. Those are awesome!
Love your videos. Is buddy your son I something? Guy barely talks in your videos but you always see him working and staying busy.
Thank you, that's my boy, little Rick. He's very reserved and the hardest worker I've ever met
Yeah shout out to him. He’s my favorite out the crew. You a raised a good man. Both of you are. Much respect from a fellow Concrete Man.

Mike Day got it too. Y’all going to the world of concrete?
Around here most outfits compact the gravel ,I am convinced it helps .
We do the same, I must have edited it out
We are in KC
I want to wish you;ll Merry xmas.
🙏🙏🙏
With the new B series case they fixed a lot of the case wiring issues! And I have noticed you run H pattern controls? You can’t get that with every make!
I like Case, this is my second one
number 4 rerod is to much for a 4 inch driveway as time goes by and the rerod rusts in a few places it will swell and start popping the concrete surface unless its placed LOWER in the concret not halfway but lower
We use #3
Are you going to use wire mesh in the lower part of the driveway and in the sidewalk?
No. Crestwood requires 6" thick non reinforced for the sidewalk and approach
CONCRETE!!!
😁🤘
🙏👍
Those forms are bad ass with the stake holes , wtf are those called
I think the brand I'd DEE Forms
check out kubota's epic machines. the only tractor that gives me problems is my bobcat. everything else is kubota even back to early 2000's noooooo problems
You guys don't use the wire mesh at all.
No, just rebar
I was thinking “ridgid ain’t that bad it just isn’t the best” then he takes 45 seconds and three restarts to cut a 2x4 that isn’t even PT😂😂 My brushed 6 year old Milwaukee could do that with a 2.0 battery quicker lol
🤣🤣🤣 I've been using them for years, but the last batch I bought was all junk
Your machine is a great machine, but I run ASV and Kubota
Thanks! I do like it. It's my second one
Get a Cat but really it’s what u prefer
Hey can you make a shirt that's says PUD FIGHT in the same style of BUD LIGHT !!
🤣
What state are y’all in?
Missouri
Is Terra-fill getting close to full? Been awhile since I been there but was about flat last year.
I haven't been there in years, I'll ask Dave
Was at terra fill about 2 months ago, still lots a space yet.
Where’s the concrete pour video from the angry neighbor video?
I'm working on it it will be out soon
Buy a John Deere 325g and don’t look back.. I have been operating skids since the age of 10… I’ve ran them all and John Deere is by far the best
I did run a John Deere back in the day. It was a nice machine. Thanks!
Kubota all day and never look back
🤘
So you don't show the finished product?
Next video 🤘
Sharing to everyone of Jesus Christ, He is coming back. We are spiritually saved by grace through faith in Jesus Christ our Lord God and Savior.
Hope you don't use felt like Ryan😂🤣
what state do you work in?
Missouri
@@RickThomasConcrete hows the weather from December to April ? is it like ryans where you cant pour or can you still pour as long as theres no rain
@chancenebeker4481 We stay busy all year. Some years, we may have a couple weeks here and there we can't pour, but for the most part, we stay working all year 🤘
Man u guess park far away from the job
Sometimes, we do get pretty far away to have room for the dump truck and machines
