Hey Stan sending a well deserved thank you from just south of Boston! I been watching you for awhile now, I remember when you were just starting out and how you were so hungry and eager you would sleep in your dump truck. Much respect to you you're an inspiration, a great Boss, an excellent family man, and an asset to the landscape/hardscape community! thanks again!
Guessing they have some sort of regulation on where the silt fence needed to be, and how far dirt can be spread from the excavation. We run in to that a lot. Usually its property lines that mess with us the most
Thats what I wanted to do but the silt fence was the boundary of the property. On the other side of that was someone elses land and we couldn't cross it. By the way- Im a big fan of your videos. Your one of my favorite youtubers so thank you for the content and please keep putting it out there. Your videos have helped me improve mine. Thank you! if you want to do a collaboration I'd be honored.
Hey guy's I just want you to know I'm a plumber in the Chicagoland area and I love this Channel you guys do some really cool work and it is very enjoyable. Thanks for the videos
Working men like you are The real deal in the industry. I’d hire and listen you 10:1 over some sharp dressed salesman who’s never gripped a shovel in his life. The world needs more people like you Stan!
I think the entire world just needs more men willing to step up and put a hards day work in. This world is geting to soft- Well America is. it seems- Except for our Military, and Police. Those guys are awesome! and our doctors and nurses! Also awesome!
@@Dirtmonkey i agree, I see guys in bright yellow shirts digging a hole and by the time there done digging the hole they concentrated more on keeping the bright yellow shirt clean then digging the actual hole, their shirt is spotless but it took them 2 hours to dig a 2 ft deep hole. (Its one major reason why I wear black pants and maroon shirt during summer - neither shows the high level of dirt that appears when a guy is actually working - bonus the shirt and work pants appear to be in ok contdion still to the point can go and do a active estimate with a customer in person and not appear to be as if you just crawled out of the trenches.
Stan thank you for bringing us along in the cab. I haven’t ran a skid steer since the early 90’s. I am always amazed at how much they have changed. I worked for a landscaper that specialized in Unilock brick work. We had a Bobcat 7753.
This comment may not mean much to ya champ, but I just wanted to give you the idea of a 4 in 1 bucket. ( Aussie style) I dont think youd understand how much of an asset itd be. For shaving you can open the bucket 2 inches max and reverse and any humps get shaved off in small increments. They are great for being able to bite into a pile from the top. Its hard to explain what they can be used for but anyone that has one would never look back to a solid bucket. Just thought id throw that idea too ya. Have a great day mate, your vids are absolutely awesome.
So now I know what the black fabric is round where you are working is ''silt fence'', I see it in all the videos in the States (Im in the UK) and couldn't figure out if it was so building compliance marker or something but now Stanley said what its called I could google it lol. Hey Stanley you have some other high profile viewers ''Andrew Camarata'' watching your videos. I love watch and you guys in there machines and even at 55 years old im still learning new tricks and I have to say Stanley you are pretty easy one the eye too.
In my neck of the woods, I hit cable TV Cables, Irrigation pipes and the occasional Direct Bury Cable. All suck to have to repair. Cable Company is the wurst. They only scratch out the dirt with a shovel to bury their cables.
Hope Blaine recovers soon. Back problems are no fun and as you age every injury you’ve ever had comes back to haunt you. We have exactly what you described, about 6’ of clay over the native soil on a slope. We don’t get much rain here but when we do mud slides are a common occurrence.
Never mind your unlucky day...we all have them, but we try to look ahead to much brighter ones! And I’m sure you know that, it’s what separates you from those who just give up. You seem to manage your crews impeccably, so just Keep up the great work and videos!
Love the videos Stan. Great job grading. you make it look so easy. I bought a caterpillar skid steer last year. havent used it much due to not having confidence. Watching your videos is def helping though. Thank you for the great quality footage. I know its gotta be hard filming these videos with the time that it takes to setup and the rest of it. Especially when you need to get the work done. For you to still take the time for us is greatly appreciated. God bless you , your guys, and your family. Happy Thanksgiving to you All.
Love watching your videos stan. It always reminds me of what I've always wanted to do. Run equipment. Landscaping is my passion and I'm on the right track doing handy work for property maintence. Sometimes I forget my goals and it's nice to see someone passionate about the work they do but also everytime you get a new piece you seem like a kid during Christmas... Freaking awesome content, Stan the money man🦍
The other day, when clearing for a driveway. When I went over a curb with the bucket to high up. I had a machine with an open cab. & dirt completely filled the cab up to my knees almost. It was funny. Until it took me 10min to dig it all out. 🤣
One thing I notice is you often run too fast in the ASV. One of my best teachers said "slow it down, you'll do less damage". I start slow and run at reasonable speeds. That thing is a beast and I'm going to buy one, largely because of your videos. Thank you.
Great work and looking good and we all have them days where you have your mind in a different place. Keep up the hard work and thanks for the awesome content stay safe and take care Edited hope you have/had a nice day/night
Pretty much anywhere above areas with frost consideration issues all underground items are supposed to be buried 6 to 10 inches below that with identifing tape above it under the dirt. Red for gas. Yellow electric. Blue cable.
For situations with bad dirt you wanna back drag with blade to break it up also it’s good to have a bucket with teeth makes light work with heavy stuck material
Yes- keep learning. study business,- thats where you'll make the most money in landscaping. You can pick up the installation of projects but business knowledge will make those projects profitable and you coming back for more.
Never take anything as its free from a customer, prime example a stone to a customer is a eyesore, in your mind as a business man its worth 500.00 per ton (depending on what type of stone), never throw that type of stuff away if you have space to store it, also never let the customer that you are getting the items from that you have plans to resell it because then they want you to pay them for item as well, even a plant that you remove can be easily transplanted into a temporary pot and resold at somewhat of fair market value as long as its a healthy plant, some of these various techniques is how I built my huge one man operation.
I was planting trees the other day at my house which I bought 6 years ago and I was using my new mini X and I took up 8 main lines to my house and garage all at once. They only buried it 12 inches deep which is crazy to me. I would rather have it 3-6 feet deep but I also cant justify re pulling the line from the pole to the house for 3000-4000 just so the line is deeper. It was a cold long night and an expensive repair.
Good point u made as to pushing Ur skill levels. We may be doing things are whole life but it's always fun to keep pushing the skill sets! Always learning and evolving, keeps us fresh for life. (Unless you go a wreck something, 🥴)
Love your videos! Can’t wait for the day I get my own skid steer next year. Any ideas on how to finance one? Like the best companies that will finance a used one. I have a $25,000 budget.
Where I am we have to bury gasline much deeper than that was if that's what it was but they want both water and gas and sewage all 3ft or more to get under the permafrost and be safe in case the home owner decides to stab a shovel in the ground without calling 811 but we also have to bury a wire with residential lines to easily find them :)
Think you could benefit from a RT-120 ;) it has the piss burner(def) on it but she will grunt and work. One of my favorite types of videos today. Good stuff. Love the sound of that cummins.
@@Dirtmonkey yeahhh that's the kicker. Haha. 120hp will open up a lot more opportunities and jobs for me to do, at least that's how I see it. Get one of those, mulcher head, and a few other attachments to start with and just grind out the work from there. Otherwise there is the RT75HD as well.
Thats like most of the soil out here in Phoenix... all rocky clay... when you talk about Black Dirt, that is a foreign substance, we don't have that! lol.
NO- ASV and CAT are the 2 best. Cat's controls are BUTTTTTERY smooth. The ASV Sticks to slopes like a spider. So which one do you choose?? Try each- One will grab you by the cahooanes and make you take her home.
@@Dirtmonkey I’m not kidding when I say moon dust. Just imagine brown flour. So nasty and it doesn’t hold moisture at all. You spray it with water and it will crust on top but under its dry as a popcorn fart.
What do you think of that guy on the west coast? He could do that with a wheel loader no problem. I think he could go across water on it lol. You should takes notes from him and get a hydraulic hammer. Dropping that boulder on that pool demo was ridiculous.
@@Dirtmonkey what do you think of the west coast guy? He could do that with a wheel loader no problem. You should follow him and get a hydraulic hammer. Dropping that boulder on the pool demo was ridiculous.
so the most important question i have from this video is what was the pipe that you ran over? it looked like 3/4 or 1" copper to me which is either a water or a gas line. from the video, it looked like it was flattened out from you running over it and it appears you just covered it up. did anyone come out and inspect or identify that pipe? was the flat section cut out and repaired? i think if you have an "incident" like that in your video it would be a good idea to explain what happened.
I was taught to keep my bucket full of material when grading like that, so it would pack the soil more and shave less. Have you tried that before and do you have an opinion?
Stan, what is the smallest detail that was changed that you don't actively notice about the ASV75 that makes the biggest difference in every task regardless of the conditions outside of the tracks?
@@Dirtmonkey your welcome, I got to shoes for my work shoes and they last me awhile but then again I work in fast food, not sure how they would hold up in your line of work.
Sir don’t laugh at me but great video of clogged soil and great skill , but can I just say that is a beautiful building that you are working around 👍 Tam. l
Lol it wasn’t play-dough. And you did the funnies because they were the only part of the paper with color, besides the front page and adds anyway. It wasn’t that long ago Stan, you better get on some ol’timer memory vitamins buddy. Gonna end up a full blown CRS if y’a don’t do something soon. 👊
yep- the camera doesn't really catch this angle very well. I calculate a 1 to 1 by looking at the total height and measuring from the top crest to the toe. This grade heioght differential was approx 12-14 feet and the run was 18 ish except on the steep side it was much shorter.
Main power feeding a building should be 3-4 feet below grade. The telephone line should be about the same. The main gas line feeding a structure should be 3-4 feet below grade. Any water or sewer lines should below the frost line. The main Cable line feeding a house will be anywhere between 6-24 inches below grade.
@@Dirtmonkey I could be a sprinkler line for an in ground sprinkler system. Could be conduit running between the primary structure and the shed. Which is still unlikely because if it was done correctly should be between 18-36 inches below grade. Remember when you call diggers hotline to do a utility survey/marking they only do the main utility lines. As you may already be aware they dont do any auxiliary runs done by the property owner. Also sprinkler systems wont be marked by them either.
Stanley "Dirt Monkey" Genadek thanks because my father and uncle just bought a GMC for snowplowing and I told them to get a Ford but they didn’t listen
You're the best CZcams channel in this category...congrats👍✔
Wow, thanks!

Much respect to you you're an inspiration, a great Boss, an excellent family man, and an asset to the landscape/hardscape community! thanks again!
Awesome thank you!
Why not just move that silt fence back and loose that whole pile on the hill?
Wow. I never expected you to comment on this video. Big fan
Guessing they have some sort of regulation on where the silt fence needed to be, and how far dirt can be spread from the excavation. We run in to that a lot. Usually its property lines that mess with us the most
Hey Andrew big fan

The other day, when clearing for a driveway. When I went over a curb with the bucket to high up. I had a machine with an open cab. & dirt completely filled the cab up to my knees almost. It was funny. Until it took me 10min to dig it all out. 🤣
ive done that many toimes as well. Ive always been freake out thinking that what if a BIG rock came into the cab- crunch.
@@Dirtmonkey yeah... those enclosed cabs are more than just A/C & protection from the elements . 🤣

Great job Stan!!!!! That new ASV tracked skid loader is a beast! It did not tip forward like it would with a smaller loader. Great video as usual.
Right on
That's a bad ass machine!
Its a very sweet ride.
Hey Stan thanks for the video. I noticed you still look behind you even with the backup camera in the awesome sexy vehicle.
Old habits right?
Even gods fall from grace. Stan the man. Aussie Jeff
Isn't summer coming in your neck of the woods?
Cool and I did learn something although I’m in west Texas we have no clay
Great video. We all have those days. Can you do a video on having employees (scheduling them, how to pay them in summer vs winter work, etc.)
Great suggestion!
Definitely be interested in that especially if you do over time an a hourly basis or if the guys are an a flat salary
Great work and looking good and we all have them days where you have your mind in a different place. Keep up the hard work and thanks for the awesome content stay safe and take care

Thanks 👍
Not Play-Doh. It's Silly Putty you described. :)
Looks good to me Stan only thing around here they would make us put hay on it for the winter even seed with ryegrass even though it won’t grow.
Your right- I didn't think of doing that
Great tips

Hey Stan can you explain or do a video on adding sand when you’re doing a job like that? I’m curious on how you put it all together.
Yeah- I can do that in the spring.
Love the "Size matters" shirt Stan lmfao

was trying
I love these videos are you demoing that asv?
Sure am- Long term lease until 250 hours.
TRIPOD DOWN!!! Bipod now.......That sucks bro. Sorry for your loss so to speak. Those things aren’t always cheap either.
It was Friday the 13th and my day reflected that
Stanley, I think your dirt terminology may be applicable to baking 😀
I think your right.
Think you could benefit from a RT-120 ;) it has the piss burner(def) on it but she will grunt and work. One of my favorite types of videos today. Good stuff. Love the sound of that cummins.
Ive ran one- amazing machine- but this one is perfect for what we do. Just the right size and right power.
@@Dirtmonkey yeah I was playing around. I've been looking at the RT120 forestry for starting a brush clearing and excavating business.
Thats a great unit. but I think its over $110,000 or more. and has 120 hp though! What a monster!
@@Dirtmonkey yeahhh that's the kicker. Haha. 120hp will open up a lot more opportunities and jobs for me to do, at least that's how I see it. Get one of those, mulcher head, and a few other attachments to start with and just grind out the work from there. Otherwise there is the RT75HD as well.
On your forward and reverse control is there a delay between switching or is it spot on?
almost spot on-
Your no Kenny Rogers Stan but you can sure make an old yard look new. 👍
Thanks bro!
Thats like most of the soil out here in Phoenix... all rocky clay... when you talk about Black Dirt, that is a foreign substance, we don't have that! lol.
We don't have it up north either. No black dirt unless we make it out of cow manure
Just about every Monday is a Nofunday! lol
This was Friday the 13th on top of the no fun day
In your opinion would you say that hands down ASV makes the best track loaders?
NO- ASV and CAT are the 2 best. Cat's controls are BUTTTTTERY smooth. The ASV Sticks to slopes like a spider. So which one do you choose?? Try each- One will grab you by the cahooanes and make you take her home.
This is the perfect dirt for building bike trails
yes it is
Whatchu talking bout Willis? That’s good dirt! Try having moon dust like I have out here in the west coast.
Moon dust? Does it have a lot of Silt in it?
@@Dirtmonkey I’m not kidding when I say moon dust. Just imagine brown flour. So nasty and it doesn’t hold moisture at all. You spray it with water and it will crust on top but under its dry as a popcorn fart.
In your Snowplowing wet concrete video you were not the only one who had plows freeze up that night XD
Did you also have some freeze?
I couldn't even get the wings on my trucks power plow to open nor my skids quattro plow.
to open
nothing like chiseling out hydraulic rams
Dude thats a crappy night- Kind of like the last one I had.
STANNN HAS DONE IT AGAIN

Is that a garage shaped like a barn and silo, or is that the house..
Thats a fully restored barn and silo.
We bury everything minimum of 18" here and when we hit something we call are local utilities to come check it out!!
Yes- I wish it was all buried that deep around here-but its not.
Quiet cab but a noisy operator.😂✌
Well said!
@@Dirtmonkey i usually have radio on to flood out my brain converation as it having a chat session amongst itself lol.
Same- all the voices in my head talk so much sometimes its hard to concentrate.
18 " deep utilities on cape cod that was way to shallow close call and i love that machine
it was to shallow in my opinion
I work on cape too and the cable lines r brutal. They’re supposed to b at least 6” below grade but are always above that😂
That grey pvc looks like power to that shed down the berm
Thats a thick line for a small shed
@@Dirtmonkey Thats what she said.
@@karuza82 🤣🤭
Make sure to put tarp down on that dump .
I was taught to keep my bucket full of material when grading like that, so it would pack the soil more and shave less.
Have you tried that before and do you have an opinion?
I have and do a lot of work that way. Just depends on what Im trying to accomplish and how.
Stan, what is the smallest detail that was changed that you don't actively notice about the ASV75 that makes the biggest difference in every task regardless of the conditions outside of the tracks?
The cab- the visibility is unlike anything Ive experienced
@@Dirtmonkey anything else?
So, since you found that line so close to the surface, is there anything you do with it? Inform the property owner? The utility company?
The owner
Hey Stan, what did you do with the line you hit
Flagged it
I watch for fun and to learn. I believe here in Idaho all utility lines have to be buried 4 feet.
I wish all of our utility lines were buried that deep- they hardly put some underground.
That just weird. And I think you can get fined here if it’s not buried properly
I have still toe safety Joggers, I still wouldn't try it, keep up the hard work!

Roll the bucket forward as you climb up the side of truck. Jeez
I did- but to much- thats why it came back on me.
So what happened with the line? Was it gas and what did you do about it?
flagged it!
What brand of engine does that ASV have in it?
Cummins- one of my favorite engines of all times.
Lol it wasn’t play-dough.
And you did the funnies because they were the only part of the paper with color, besides the front page and adds anyway.
It wasn’t that long ago Stan, you better get on some ol’timer memory vitamins buddy.
Gonna end up a full blown CRS if y’a don’t do something soon. 👊
It was Silly Putty! right?
Stanley you do realize a 1 to 1 grade is 45 degrees and a 1.5 to 1 is 56 degrees!
yep- the camera doesn't really catch this angle very well. I calculate a 1 to 1 by looking at the total height and measuring from the top crest to the toe. This grade heioght differential was approx 12-14 feet and the run was 18 ish except on the steep side it was much shorter.
Should do more demo videos. I got 3 small structures on my property i wanna tear down and always looking at how you do things and learn.
I will but don't have any scheduled soon.
@@Dirtmonkey I'll have to comb through your videos and watch them. Nothing better than a little destruction to have some fun right?
Oh yeah! I love the demo vids
ROFL, rock collector, me too. And ya, I've had those days. Some days, you are just better off to go sit in the sun for a few hours.
YES! Ive had to many of those days hahah
Main power feeding a building should be 3-4 feet below grade. The telephone line should be about the same. The main gas line feeding a structure should be 3-4 feet below grade. Any water or sewer lines should below the frost line. The main Cable line feeding a house will be anywhere between 6-24 inches below grade.
So which one was that?
@@Dirtmonkey
I could be a sprinkler line for an in ground sprinkler system. Could be conduit running between the primary structure and the shed. Which is still unlikely because if it was done correctly should be between 18-36 inches below grade.
Remember when you call diggers hotline to do a utility survey/marking they only do the main utility lines. As you may already be aware they dont do any auxiliary runs done by the property owner. Also sprinkler systems wont be marked by them either.
STANNN IM HERE
POOJANNNNNN!
@@Dirtmonkey letsss go
😃👍
Had rookie operator do the same thing last week except it was rock. Thousand bucks later and we have new frame and class in the door.
Oh no- thats a crappy day-was the operator ok?
Hi Stanley did you let owner know about the line you find and show were it is
yes
Where did you get that “size matters” shirt?
amazon
Since I live in Michigan and snow is in the next couple of week you know which is the best truck to snow plow
I plow with Ford and Rams and both are excellent.
That depends on what you are going to be plowing, theirs too many variables to answer this exact question. Its more of a personal preference.
Stanley "Dirt Monkey" Genadek thanks because my father and uncle just bought a GMC for snowplowing and I told them to get a Ford but they didn’t listen
Dug sewer line in for pool house there today. Conduit was century link
Good to know
Gotta be an irrigation pipe.
it was power
A load in the bucket will help with packing the dirt in tighter.
