- This yard had NO grass- ALL weeds. We work everything back into the soil with a total regrade & new contours. Nothing hauled out or In. We turn the weed hole into a yard ready for grass seed or sod.

Awesome. Grading my lot tomorrow morning just as you've demonstrated. Feel good about your technique! Thanks!
Hi Stanley, it’s nice to see a guy out there who takes his job seriously and wants to do quality work for the customers.
That yard is going to be beautiful this time next year! Nice long runs to make the stripes pop. The owner will really enjoy sitting on that deck and relaxing with his new view.
I was thinking the same.. From that deck a beautiful lawn will just meld into the edge of the golf course. It's going to look very cool.
I worked in surface mining and excavation for years and watching these transformations never get old. The satisfaction of setting back and looking at the finished product is priceless. Also l would have hydroseeded all that. Nice work guys keep up the good work.
That’s awesome, my parents started a gardening company and I’m trying to start more of a landscaping, land molding section of the business. Tools like these are perfect, great to see in action and how to apply them.
How's ur buisness going now?
I’ve worked with heavy equipment for years, but you rigging it all up makes for genuine entertainment and lead me to realize lots of folks wouldn’t know where to start where as it comes second nature to me. Love the vids.
Good for you
Great job, love how we as the viewer get both perspectives, customer and contractor, and how both can win.
i like your style of grading with the skid steer! iv done a lot of it and learned some tricks just from watching this. thanks!
LOL you said, “ what the bucket can do” You got skills Stan.
I remember this job you finished it 2 years ago just as winter shut you down. 2017 winter. Now some Kentucky Blue grass seed and some Straw and he will have the yard his neighbor's will envy.
Im with ya!
Straw for more weeds...
Love all your videos. I started my own landscaping business last year in Colorado and your videos help me out alot. Just wanna thank you and love your work ethics.
Man, that bucket/harley rake is a slick set-up!
Interesting video Dirt Monkey... That lawn was a "yard sale!" The finished product with the fact that you did not remove or bring in any materials on that job was unbelievable! That harley rake/bucket implement is off the chain! That man has a chore ahead of him to seed and properly water it in that large area w/out an irrigation system. You gave him a great starting point! Well done!
On my second home, I sprayed Roundup and let it sit there for 30 days. Rented a Rototiller & laid down sod. Didn't see a weed for over three years. I learn my lesson from the first house.
Great Job on the Terracing, leveling, and super fast What area of the Country is this in .. What kind of grass you putting in ? .. What, would you recommend, to this Job, if you did NOT use Sod...…. but Seed , Straw … 1) Round up, Kill every weed, and hopefully seeds wait some time, than terrace like he did … or 2) Use a Pre-Emergent Weed Spray of sorts .. Crab Grass, seems to come quickly
Great video Stanley, I find these films fascinating. The best bit was the customers reaction, he was thrilled with it. Keep safe mate
Glad you enjoyed it
Nice job. For real! I wish I could afford to do this to my sons yard. WOW! What a difference.
I’m impressed with the work you guys do in every video! Love it!
Thanks so much for the great video. Even my wife enjoyed watching it.
As long as the Customer is Happy , That's all that matters , GREAT JOB 👍😀
I would be awesome to see an update of this backyard after it’s seeded and grown in some.
I imagine a lot of weeds have sprouted since all the existing weeds were worked into the soil. If I was the homeowner, I would've sprayed the life out of that backyard in anticipation of laying down new seed. Maybe that was done though. It would be interesting to see the yard today.
D T yeah that is what I was thinking.
@@delt19 The problem with spraying (what no one tells you) is that glyphosate kills all bacteria in the soil at a 1/50th of the plant killing concentration. Plants can get nitrogen a few ways: 1) through air... (very slow), through fertilizer that is ammonia / nitrogen-based (very fast, but short bursts), 3) through bacteria and fungus - the bacteria and fungus eat the sugar / carbs produced by the plant and offer poop.... nitrogen in exchange.
Best way to kill weeds is to till them. Wait 2 weeks and till them again. Unfortunately it's not practical I agree.
@@lifeisgood070 Interesting information. I did not know that about glyphosate. I've personally never used roundup to kill weeds and more than likely will never use it. I do use a mixture of tenacity with a surfactant for weed control and plan on applying it to my backyard to get it ready for regrade and seeding job.
@@delt19 gotcha most people don't spend that kind of money ($60) when other concentrates are so cheap. Going for the horse not the zebra. And Idk the unintended consequences of tenacity; I have not studied it.
Man, you could have a helluva garden that back yard. That's a lot of lot!
Now the client can see and enjoy the golf course view. I would have never wanted to look out the back windows before. Looks great.
Nice job! Quite the transformation on that yard! 👍🏻
Wow brother you made magic out there...3.5 hours seems like great time for all that uneven land. You came in like a real veteran too! Your the man!! Thanks trying to learn
Glad you enjoyed! Thanks for bein here bud
That is just incredible , only 3 and a half hours for that big mess and it looks so good now. I am mesmerised watching stuff like this :-)
Hey! Watching this from Sweden. I do similar types of work in Sweden. I use an excavator, a cat M317F with factory mounted Rotor Tilt. That gives me the ability to attach a lot of diferente buckets and other equipment. Keep up the good work.
Nice to see you on the job , thanks
Nice ditch witch shirt, their mini skids are awsome and service is some of the best iv experienced with any company
Takes skill to grade like that with such a short track and small bucket......that's an incredible attachment!
Rewatched! I have thoroughly enjoyed the skid steer grading the entire property! Liked, Shared, Subscribed!
Have you thought about installing a backup camera on some of the equipment with limited rear visibility? I bought a couple of cheap ones on sale a our local farm store, but have not yet got them on. I have an ASV RC30 and rear view is terrible.
Man you do good work. Wish you were around NJ. My yard looks just like that and it’s taking me forever to fix it. Moved in a few years ago and had a tree company remove all the dead trees and bushes in the back half of my yard which looks like the previous owners never even cut or trimmed once in 40 years but I didn’t realize how many roots, vines, rocks and crap were still back there on top of what looks like a construction company dumped concrete, clay and metal pipes and cement. I’ve managed to do a lot by hand but I feel like I can never keep up with how fast the vegetation grows. That bobcat and bucket look like it would have solved years of manual labor I’ve been trying to do. Love the videos and the love you put into what you do.
Another great vidio,what I am picking up from them, is to get a good finish ,you have to take your time and attack from all directions ,will give it ago tomorrow in my little tractor ,Thanks again from Mark from down under.PS.Hope all is going well with what is going on in the world ,for you and your family
awesome video. i like your passion. I had my first and second run on a bobcat skid today ... i tore the place up. and it didn't take long. it was fun though. it would take a lot of practice to be efficient. beats you up too...watching you work that jobsite was helpful ..good knowledge
You did a great job on the contour, from what we could see.
Love this video! Love the skid steer usage!
Good looking Cat 👍🏻 and good job
That is awesome work. A great learning video.
Well done Stan turned out great awesome video
Thoroughly enjoyed it! Great job!
Spread some seed out, some starter fert, and get some sprinklers on timers, 7 days later spray out a half bottle of tenacity. Keep the watering up, in a month do the other half bottle of tenacity and you’ll have a nice lawn in 60 days.
I do a lot of small jobs in my neighborhood when the home owner is usually in the way with his shovel and rake.
I got tired of always having to look back to make sure no-one is there and there is reall no good place to put a mirror on a skid steer so I installed a backup camera on the drops and put the monitor in the top left hand corner of the ropes right behind a light so it is out of the way. Now a quick glance up and I know the way is clear.
we do that with all our skids.. after somone hit an elderly women at tufts medical center during a snow storm
We’ve had the same problems with the cat quick release. Found that greasing them everyday wether we thought they needed it or not helped tremendously. Also spray some liquid wrench or WD40 on the springs everyday.
Great Job Stan.
I remember when you guys installed that wall in your ugly shirt haha then you changed ! Awesome stuff Stan ! Thank you
that whole yard had great soil...seeding will take easily. would love to see after the seeding. no wonder matt martin says grow anything on the ground, all those weeds made some great soil lol
That's pretty good i need something done with my lawn after 19 years living here. Its just a bunch of bumps and dips all over. We also have a big low spot that collects heavy rain and melted snow ( Minnesota winters are fun) at least a foot a water from the snow and the drainage system we had put in doesn't work
I can fix that if your near the cities
Outstanding job & Great Video.
Those thing cost a lot but it's amazing how much work a good operator can do with one.
WOuld love to see what this yard looks like after they plant the seed! Should have put in a sprinkler system for that.
Nice looking yard clean up.
Awesome video, and thanks for the tips. Preciate it!
Ohh so that’s why this retaining wall looks so good then!
LOL
you should watch out for a cheap small disc harrow they work great for this stuff drag it around with the skidsteer or an atv
This was so satisfying to watch!
1:53 That's hilarious! 🤣 I told someone not two days ago how "I Dream of Jeannie" turbo charged my puberty 💥
Thanks for pointing out the Topsoil goof. I hate when people call it that :P
Watched, Learned, watched, learned again, shared, Commented, subscribed....Subscribed..... greqt commentary learned alot! Great video!
nice job I like that bucket
That’s the case drain fitting, you can unthread it from the valve body on the boom. Clean it or get a new one.
man I love that yard, great job
Great video guys very detailed
Would love to see this site next year!
Awsome bucket!
That was excellent! Thanks.
Genial Bro, me encanto la maquinaria y esa pala con desbrozador
At first I read “regarding a yard choked with weeds”. Scholarly yard work
The harley rake bucket is awesome. Now, If it also would clamshell so you could use it as a dozer blade too, that would be something!
Have you ever used a Rock Hound ? One pass backwards and you're done, chucks all the junk into the bucket.
I could go the rest of my life and never hear Stan say creamy like that again. 😂😂😂
LOL
Yup the pins on the bucket release is 100% a cat problem, we have 2 fairly new 289d3's at work and both of them have at least one of the pins sticking, no amount of greasing ever helps.
Dats mad never seen a bucket like that, that’s awesome
Hey Stan, Would you be able to show us what this yard looks like now and maybe again this fall?
That was a awsome bucket
Fantastic job and video
What a great job!…love that machine……..
Love the job site videos!
👍👍👍
That bucket was great for yard grading
"A nice Loam, and Statah Fertilizer" Rogger cook. Love the integrated rake. But if you mash in the weeds won't they regrow? Or would a good broadcast of weed killer do the trick? Or would just a seeding do it? Nice Job.
You should have made rolling hills and maybe a ski cabin. It would be hot to see a Dutch guy savaging the earth with this beauty.
Good job grading, but if you’re mulching the weeds won’t the seeds grow back in?
I enjoyed this video. Thanks.
Just my experience with the pins on a cat skidsteer.We have 3 we have a 289d a 259d and a 236b and we grease them daily and keep ping cleaned out from around them and haven't had any problems with them sticking
This was an impressive video and content!
His smile and excitement makes me smile.
2:40 I have one of those wrenches. Cost only $30 on Amazon.
Great machine even better operator.
Awsome work!!!!!!👍👍👍
Nice job Stan
Cheers from Aus
Now I just want to climb and prune the trees there.
Damn that's most of our yards here in Australia 😂Great turn out though mate
The ABI rake you bought awhile back would have done that job as well. I did a similar job and borrowed one from a friend now I want one.
Which ABI rake? With or without wheels?
@@flat6fever680 I used the sr3 command series with wheels on my skid steer. I bought a tr3 for my tractor to use in my wife horse arena.
Awesome job!
Hello. I just tilled, and power raked my yard. (5 acres) do you think I should roll it? Or let it settle?
There are grease fittings on the quick coupler pins. Keep them well greased and it wont stick.
That’s a slick bucket
As my dad always told me when I was breaking out on a dozer, "if God wanted you to back drag he would put the blade on the back, now push it boy"
You gotta back drag to keep that blade SHARP!
That wrench and the sockets from buying that cat. I like.
Well done sir!
Speaking of golfcourse in the video,i thought i should ask, i have a mini golf course like yard with all the contours of a golf course...it has seen some really heavy compaction over the years and i plan on loosening it up to lay new sod....this is my question do i use a skid steer with this attachment or a skid steer with a SR3 attachment. I don't want to get rid of the contours to say the least..i need it intact after am done?
To change the cat sensitivity on the controls go in to the cat menu on the screen and its in the settings menu
Thanks Bro!
