Finally getting 4 cylinder 47 hp Kubota L4701 with 119 hrs from dealer. Adding 10k of options. Adding led lights and canopy. Problems with getting brackets. It's taken for ever for dealer shop to get all the options installed. Takes a week to get in shop, shop has problem, order more stuff another week goes by. Then wait a week to get it in shop. IT'S BEEN 60 DAYS WAITING.
I worked at a Foundry in Illinois for 38 years and retired two weeks ago last Monday. I am pretty sure I made the cores for the rear casting on that Cat Loader. I know our company made the casting. Nothing to do with that neat bucket but I thought it was interesting enough to mention.
Chris that is like the limestone quarries around here. Vulcan materials is who runs most all the limestone quarries here in Alabama. But we do have an independent red Rock quarry and I think red Rock is great for driveways . But that base you put down is good also just more costly
Interesting to see that the loader operator seemed to be checking cumulative loading, then spilling excess. Something I wish was more common with local suppliers.
I do believe that's the first smooth edge spade nose bucket I've seen. All the ones out west have big teeth. So I'm guessing where you're at they don't have the typical pit run like we do here in Jpaydirt country? Just curious because the material you were using we call crusher reject or pipe bedding material. Usually we use pit run for filler because it is cheaper and has better drainage qualities. Great video Chris!
BIL has 5 acres down there someplace. The drive does a bit of an S so you can't even see the road past the treeline. Back at the house it's dead quiet and you can't see neighbors or hear road traffic.
Glad replayed the start, thought you said 60" pipe!! Know you can, but what for!!! So homelessness could move into it. Here in California Homeless move into anything they can crawl into, no matter how Danderous. Sad Very Sad.
Ain't nothing wrong with a little windshield time every once in awhile......Kinda breaks up the everyday in the Beast !!..lololol.... Great as always Chris....Have a Great Evening.....
Was this Saturday, because I flew down to Monroe N.C Saturday to go buy a SUV for my step daughter. I came from Virginia beach Va and it waz cold and windy in Monrow
Last week coming home on a highway got behind a dump truck in left lane holding up traffic. Most of them aren't to bad but this guy was dumping crap of his tailgate, the front of my truck was covered in a sticky film. finally he passed one semi and I could kick it in the ass to get pass them.
Glad I wasn't in front of you with my 5'x8' single axle landscape trailer pulled by my Frontier--you would have probably run off the road laughing at me...
If I had the money to drive out there and prove that someone could get through that road as it is in this video I would. Lol. And if I couldnt it would still be a fun day anyways. Lol. But love the videos man. Lime seeing all the different projects you get to work on. You do great work.
Watching that guy load you up got me to thinking. The only thing I ever operated besides a farm tractor was a MICHIGAN 75A back in prehistoric times. I was 13 and the loader had NO BRAKES. They told me to just creep the right front into the duals of the truck then dump my load. Is MICHIGAN still in business or did they get gobbled up? sdh in CT
Michigan joint ventured with Michigan in 1985 to create VME: Volvo Euclid Michigan. They dropped the Michigan line altogether in 1995 when Volvo aquired full ownership of VME. If any, only the biggest L350 could be based on Michigan designs.
That second loader operator wasn't that good. He might not have known how to use the scale on the loader. I wish they would have had one of those when I was running loader.
if I was looking for just stabilization fabric I found 12.5 ft. x 432 ft. polypropylene black woven stabilization fabric rolls in 2 seconds ( yes I googled it ) but if you are looking for the brand name / material it's made out of etc. you would have to be more specific in the question to LD18
@@steelhorse4524 most geotechnical offices should know. Could also ask your local construction companies. Most are willing to point people in the right direction. At least around me
I have noticed, in several videos, you putting in the pipe to connect the driveway. My question, do you have to be bonded in N.C. In order to get the encroachment permit from D.O.T. ? In Kentucky, before I was given a permit, I had to provide the pipe, but the State Highway Department completed the connection. Had I chose to install it myself, I would have had to post a bond, which was an unbelievable amount. Anyone who knows the answer, please comment. Thanks.
Yup, loaders and excavators and rocks and logs tend to hit the top edge of the bed, and the wood protects both the bed, and the cylinders on the loaders lol
Give LetsDig18 an excavator, a loader and a gallon of diesel, watch a battlefield of logging crap turn into a dogleg par 4 golf course in about 3 weeks
@@letsdig18 Chris whats process gravel. Like that. Cost per ton picked up down your. Way. 13 ton picked up. Our way. In southern new England For 3/4" chrush run. Just curious
Damn those piles are really high. Nice to see a change of perspective, thanks for recording the trip through the quarry, it was super cool to see.
Loading those two pieces of culvert pipe onto the trailer looked like looking down the barrels of the worlds biggest shotgun!

I was just in that quarry today replacing a tire on their lowboy.
bbyeahwhatever which quarry is it? It looks familiar. Is it out chapel hill way?
Jason Kary Wakestone in knightdale.
@@bbyeahwhatever I used to work in a quarry here in Drumright Oklahoma.
It is good to have a scale in the bucket.
I worked in a small gravel pit,
where I printed out the weight in the wheel loader.
I would assume the quarry just sends you a bill at the end of each month for what you got?
Interesting bucket on the Cat loader with the vee shaped cutting edge.
easier to fill the bucket, takes less force.
@@sisutrucks thats for sure

Driving the truck.
Something you're doing that I've actually done!
Yay!
Thanks.
Chris = Yanmar excavator Tim= Armstrong excavator!
I liked the camera angle from the dump bed. Pretty cool!
18" double wall- I put 580' in on my farm for water control. Also 3x3 catch basins.
Thanks for taking us along with you on your trucking day bro, some good camera placements too.
Well, driving the tipper has a lot less levers to play with......

Nice work Chris. Up north here we would’ve had to put Ballast in The road this time of year. Amazing how solid that got with that clean material

Timmy does nice work..

Nice job chris.i liked that Bucket on thee wheeloader.
That's a spade nose bucket. Usually seen on loaders working in ledge.
I had to hold on tight when you were tipping there.
Love the big truck you need to give the guy a gift for being nice
Miss the Turkey following you around saying gobbled goobledad don't go!!
That little Yanmar moves so much more quickly than the big Volvo that for a moment I thought you'd sped the film up.
Great video has always nice to see the routine for your stone and the way you go about it..Stay safe

It's a miracle there is video evidence of a dump truck driver actually covering his load 🤯
Me thinks Timmy is using the wrong shovel! You need to get him a power shovel lol

Tim's liking that shovel lol.
Now I know how a duck feels during hunting season. I was waiting for the K-BLAM!
Been in that quarry many times over the years . Trying to figure what roads you are taking but your not filming the whole trip lol
Wonder why the Knightdale quarry loaders dont have the scales on them like the Sims quarry ?
That is a monster loader at the quarry! Do you guys have only big trucks in the Carolinas? haha!
Glad I wasn't in front of you with my 5'x8' single axle landscape trailer pulled by my Frontier--you would have probably run off the road laughing at me...
That certainly wasn’t a champion Kaufman dump trailer otherwise it woulda held atleast 3 more tons before being on rims. Ask me how I know
More videos with the truck please. Great video thumbs up from me.
Every good operator has to start somewhere ....
That dump truck is so bad ass.
How many times have you came back to a job the next day and noticed a motor cross circuit from overnight?
I thought most state codes require large aggregate as a primary filler for culverts?
Nice job driva! 👍🏻
I thought you said “the scale chick is hot, and her chest is pretty”...
Tell John to hurry up back from vacation. We got a runway you guys need to fix. LOL If it ever stops raining !!!!!!!
Yeah Ive heard about it. This weather has not been good for anything that deals with dirt and grading!
@@letsdig18 If we were building a mud pit it would be great !!!!!
Has the quality of the Yanmar been up to your expectations, would you still have chosen over all the competitors. Appreciate your experience
I cant remember if you said earlier that the truck has automatic transmission. If not you're pretty smooth on the gears.
That truck is an auto, he showed it in a video back when they bought it.
TIMMY IS A KEEPER!

Hey truck driver let's get to moving it
well if that guy did half as much working as talking on that radio he would be a millionaire

Looks a beautiful day there a lot better than here in the uk
Does the Bucket Tilt loose any curl strength that you noticed or bothered you ? or did you just get used to it ? Was it worth it ?
😂dam truck drivers
Like the video man .
Yesterday I couldn't spell truck driver, today I are one!! 😆
Great video.....thanks for posting
You know Volvo makes a damn good truck and engines right Chris?
Its always awsome when the loader guy has esp
They got a scale in the loader, oh you ment about the rock mix, yeah he knows what Chris likes 🤣🤣
I was referring to when the machine operator asked him on the radio if he would like it with more rock in it
@@shammi8133 yeah, took me a second to figure that out, I wasn't listening to the CB conversation.
Where can i buy a big roll of that fabric at? Every where I’ve checked they only have 4 ft wide rolls
most erosion control or seed supply places

How'd it feel rollin in packs cause you don't know where you're going and busting everybody's windshield out? 😂
Wow Chris how many tons was those loads that Cat gave you a little more then 1 1/2 buckets and you were full
20 tons
his truck depending how its plated i would guesstimate around 19 to 25 ton . depending on material being hauled .

Thank you for not slamming your tailgate
Like he did at 14:39? Lol
I really like that kw
Truck driver today 👌👍⚠️
Don't get stuck!
Never noticed those top rails on the back are wood. They painted so purdy gray too on the outside then?
The wood is there to protect the box. Much easier to replace a broken board than straighten that top rail.
Yup, loaders and excavators and rocks and logs tend to hit the top edge of the bed, and the wood protects both the bed, and the cylinders on the loaders lol

Do you have to scale in every load, or just the first one of the day?
That first loader operator was smooth, and efficient.
Scale every load, that or get scaled by a random trooper and face a fine
c docker Learn how to read, I said SCALE IN not SCALE OUT .
Learn how to ask a question. Learn how to use punctuation correctly, yeah, your right being I'm the only one who even tried to answer this rubbish.
Keep your nose out of other people's business . c docker.
Awesome 👏
How many yards does the loader get with each lift
whats the name of that quarry?
18 speed?
Nice truck! How many tons can you haul?
How are your cows doing? You oughta check out This farm wife's channel,she's got a bunch of Angus too,nice good size .. She said she's in NC☆☆

Nice gravel.Do you pay by the on or the yard?
ton

Only heard about half of what you said at the beginning. Need a dead cat cover.
Back in the day for $20 they would run your side boards over with process fill
What do you consider to be cold out? 🤔🤔🤔
What size pipe is that?
Is that wake stone
This stuffs like concrete
Nice!!!
How come you haled sucje small loads?That truck will load more than that !
Dave Nelson 70000 pounds on a quad is about 21 tons.
Reckon they would mind if I climbed on that big pile and slid down. That's the kid in me I guess.
Yup, they would mind because they would have to shut the place down while they dug your corpse out of the landslide that you caused lol
