Just another day at the office until the swamp claims another CAT! Wow, not again… #excavation #tristardiggin #tristardigging #cat313 #CAT259 #stuck #mud
Hey Ryan, I appreciate that! Your Volvo truck video reminded me of my truck video where I wasn’t as fortunate, flipped it. But it did make for a good video!😳🫣 czcams.com/video/Pt4zsNMNoII/video.htmlsi=HGBsM1BxcVLlZ1M3 Thanks, Sam
If you have a skid steer, then you have to have bucket, forks, and power rake. Next you might look at the ABI SR3 rake. I love it and use it more than the power rake now. Still a lot of snow here in AK. Fun to watch those that can work year around. Always love the message! Yes I know Him!
Hey thanks and glad you enjoyed the message! I will check out that ABI SR3 rake, haven’t seen one of those. Hopefully the snow will be gone soon and you are back in the dirt… Sam
Another great video Sam. I am in the middle of my own brush/sapling clearing project and it is really knocking the new off my brand new tractor. I think I just need to rent a 10-12k mini and do it that way.
Hello there I am new to channel . Just wanted to say hi and that I appreciate your content , especially the message at the end !! Keep up the great work !!
Thanks Steve, I’m definitely tired of the mud and ready for the new dirt season, I bet y’all are too. Man that power rake is a sweet attachment, love the finish work that it does…
I like the view from the drone as progress was being made. It let's me see how the job changes from one day to the next. That's pretty cool. Thanks for sharing the video and the message.
Enjoyed the message Sam! I think you just like playing in mud.😂 I'm glad it's not me having to clean those tracks out. LOL Be Safe Out There and GOD BLESS!
Swamp Kitty Cat Lesson #2 - If you have to swallow a frog, don't look at it too long before you put it in your mouth. If you have to swallow two frogs, go for the big one first, and if you have to swallow three frogs, you might ask yourself what you're doing in that pond...best regards, like your videos. Mike&Pat
Brother, What a Job! Looks Awesome!!!! I've bit the bullet and bought a 2000 Cat 318BLN Excavator! Any pointers in the near future will be appreciated. God Bless!
Thanks Lance! 😀 Sounds like a nice size excavator. Excavator are great and can do a lot of work in a short time. Biggest thing to watch for is hitting thing with the tailswing and swinging the boom into stuff breaking hoses. You will definitely enjoy it…
Hello Sam, looks great man, I'm looking forward to our next adventure. Thanks for the message, His peace, that surpasses all understanding is awesome to say the least and desperately needed in these last days. Be blessed brother.
Thanks Danny! The next adventure is underway. Land clearing, road building, and a shop pad. Lots of good stuff coming for sure. I agree we definitely need His peace. God Bless
Man, after close to 30 years in the dirt and 40 years as a child of God, your videos hit me right where I need it. The wife and I have been getting “hit” from all angles lately…because we’re doing the will of God. Your message in this video was EXACTLY what I needed today. Thanks man for another awesome video/finish grade, cleanup on that church job
Hey Shawn, that is awesome that the message was what you needed for day! It’s great to know the Lord is using the message to help folks and I appreciate you sharing that! Stay strong in the faith of Christ and His will… God Bless
Our Bible lesson today was about discernment - the lack of...how we make bad choices, accept the wrong things, the wrong theology, listen to the wrong teachings, are unwise in who we follow. What are we doing in that pond? (reference to early frog/pond post)." Examine everything carefully; hold fast to that which is good." It matters that you are sharing God's truth with us. Until next time, best regards, Mike&Pat
Little constructive criticism or advice. You get saw stuck alot. If cutting a log from top down, cut out a small wedge first. This helps when cutting from the bottom as well. Practice with depth of your wedge.
Good Morning Sam. looking at the ground it looks like it got cold there at your place, we here in eastern Oregon had a low of 27degrees, dont know about you but I'm ready for summer!
When burning brush is there specific permitting involved? Also, if the pile doesn’t fully burn on a day that you are working do you just leave it overnight till the next day or whatever the safety way to proceed in a situation like that?
It’s fairly simple to get the permit and there is no cost. You just call in or go online with TN Div. Of Forestry and request the permit. You can leave it burning overnight just make sure it has burned down enough to be safe. If you plan to continue burning the next day you call in for another day permit…
Sir, me and my wife own property and have a loan for construction. We have decided to get our own Lic. start a small bis.. We will start by developing our own property. What Lic should we get and what equipment to start would you suggest???
I was moving at first with the bucket, which was part of the video I lost on the GoPro. But it sat down in the stump hole and I was done at that point…
@@tristardiggin ah ok I gotcha. That’s a shame but glad it didn’t turn into too big of a headache for you since you had the excavator there to pull it out!

Two stuck machines, got in trouble with the fire marshal, PPE stolen, tried to burn the neighbors property down. It was just another week at work. 😆
Now that’s putting that job into perspective! Funny stuff! 🤣😀😳
Great explanations in your video 👍👍

Good drone footage!….. you’re an overcomer brother.
Thank you!
God Bless
Loving the videos, look for a new one each time I go on CZcams. Makes me want to start a construction co. God bless.
Hey thanks Darryl, I appreciate that and thanks for supporting the channel…
God Bless
That job turned out looking pretty awesome. That Harley rake really does an awesome job. I need to buy me one instead of renting. Just so expensive.
Thanks Andrew! I’m impressed with the harley rake every time I use it. And you are right they are a bit pricey…
Great video Sam
Thank you Butch!
Thanks!
Thank you Richard! 😀

Todd that is right, clearing brush and sapling is hard on a new piece of equipment. A mini would do a good job cleaning that stuff up…
Thanks
Awesome video Sam!!!!
Thanks ole Buddy, I appreciate that…😀
Good morning
Good morning Jim!😀
Got it looking good
Thank you Raymond!😀
Thanks for sharing another great video! Wow, you left that job neat with the power rake action!!! Thanks for the message it is great to hear...🙏👍

Man I’ll bet your glad you don’t have to deal with that mud anymore! Great job Sam ! Power rake finished that off nicely.
Thanks Steve, I’m definitely tired of the mud and ready for the new dirt season, I bet y’all are too. Man that power rake is a sweet attachment, love the finish work that it does…
@@tristardiggin yes we are ready for our season to start 🤘
Always good when you can get yourself unstuck!!! Looking good Sam!!!
Definitely nice to be able to get out. I have had to phone a friend in the past, for sure…😀
Nice work Sam!

Hey Jim, thought I might hire you to clean the tracks on the 313 and the skid steer…🤪😂🤣
Thanks
@@tristardiggin I hear Lindsey @ SmithWorx is the best at cleaning tracks out.🤣 He's got the most experience with all the mud he has to work in. 🤣
@@jimmytew9468 yup, I believe you are right about that Jim…🤣
Turned out awesome man! Great work
Thank you Clint!😀
Tristan, not again sir! Glad you are ok, but I still love the channel and the content! Keep at sir, and be blessed.... Galatians 6:9!
Thanks Aaron! I get stuck too much for sure…
@@tristardiggin Be careful, love the video.,.
Good job Sam,don’t forget to blow out your air filter in the 313
Thank you Joe! The 313 definitely was breathing some nasty stuff…🫣
Great message today! Yes! Jesus was and is .. and He's Lord!
Yes He is!
God Bless
Great message! Coincides perfectly with video. Overcoming adverse conditions equates too a job well done! Keep on keeping on!! God bless!!

Hello!
We all get stuck. That's the way she goes. Looks great, they should be tickled with that!
Thanks Jim, I appreciate that! Yup, stuck is a regular thing around here…😀
Looking good Sam. That project turned out great!
Thanks Dave, it’s cool to see the before and after to really see the change…
Attention Sam, in France there is an expression that says:
Never 2 without 3 ... 😅
You put 2 machines in the mud, I hope for you not a 3rd 🤔
That’s funny! And very accurate…
😀
Absolutely gorgeous work!!!
Thank you!😀
Thank you sam for sharing your message Amen God Bless Good job.

@@tristardiggin all in fun my friend, ain’t nothing worse than trying to make mud look good.
You need to switch to a dji camera it would've never failed thanks for the message 👍
I bought the DJI Osmo Pocket 3 but just haven’t tried it out yet. Hopefully it will work pretty good…
Thanks
@@tristardigginyou should try it, it has some really cool features
Good Morning Sam. looking at the ground it looks like it got cold there at your place, we here in eastern Oregon had a low of 27degrees, dont know about you but I'm ready for summer!
Hey James it was definitely cold that morning with a heavy frost on the ground. I’m ready for warmer weather too…
Turned out really good buddy
Thanks Eric!😀
The grading looks great!
Thanks Aaron…😀
Do you do Bible study at your church I mean do you lead it if not you should you're very good at it God bless and take care
Thanks, I appreciate that! I do teach a class on Sunday morning. Been doing that for several years now.

What state are you in?
“No footage of when I got stuck”.
Sure there isn’t.
Don’t you just hate that feeling when you start sinking and can’t do anything about it?
How long would you estimate it took with the power rake?
Hey Nathan, that was a small place so I figure it took about 30 or so minutes to get it looking good…
Thanks…
@@tristardiggin awesome! I’ve got my first power rake job this upcoming weekend on about 3 acres.
Really enjoy your videos 👍🏻
@@n_williams21 Thanks Nathan, takes a minute to figure out how to run the rake but when you get the hang of it you will be flying through the job…
💘 *promosm*
Thank you Dorothy, I appreciate that!😀
I have to ask, with that skid, were you not able to work yourself backwards with the bucket?
I was moving at first with the bucket, which was part of the video I lost on the GoPro. But it sat down in the stump hole and I was done at that point…
@@tristardiggin ah ok I gotcha. That’s a shame but glad it didn’t turn into too big of a headache for you since you had the excavator there to pull it out!
