I also repurpose the rocks I scraped out of the area into a rock wall using the CMP grapple and then dig a swale in the back to redirect roof water away from the house. Equipment Used: Excavator: 2022 Bobcat E50 R2-Series Tilt Rotator: Steel Wrist X06 S40 with Integrated Grab & S40 Quick Coupler Grapple: CMP NRG82 </video> <video> Finally Installing my Techo-Bloc Patio Description: I finally got around to installing a patio in the space where I demo'd my deck (https://youtu.be/Fm3k3pN1Iv4). I chose to go with Techo Bloc Blu 60 Shale Grey Slate and Onyx Black Border for this patio. Overall it went really smooth and I didn't break any sprinkler lines!

Was a life saver having the SteelWrist as it allowed me to make this job so much more efficient.

Description: On this job, the goal was to remove half of the paved tennis court and replace it with lawn space. All was going well until we started pulling up the pavement and revealed that the home owner's septic system had failed! Unfortunately, that put a stop to the final step of work on my end, but I was still able to get the area cleaned up and graded out, along with cleaning up a fallen tree at the end! Hopefully I will be able to return and complete the work next season! Equipment Used: Excavator: 2022 Bobcat E50 R2-Series Tilt Rotator: Steel Wrist X06 S40 with Integrated Grab & S40 Quick Coupler Skid Steer/CTL: 2021 Bobcat T66 Dump Trailer: 2020 BigTex 14LP Camera: GoPro Hero 7 </video> <video> Demolishing a Deck with a Mini Excavator Description: Here is some footage from 2022 of me demolishing my back deck due to constant wasp infestations (as well as other animals). The deck was old, splintering and constantly harboring wasps every year. It was also too small to properly setup with a table, chairs and grill. So the plan was (is) to convert the space to a patio, but I have yet to get the time so I figured I'd at least put out the demo work! Equipment Used: Excavator: 2021 Bobcat e26 R-Series Dump Trailer: 2020 BigTex 14LP Camera: GoPro Hero 7 </video> <video> Lifting a Backyard 6 Feet to make a Flat Lawn Description: Here I help a client lift their backyard almost 6 feet in the deepest spots to level out their backyard in order to make it useable. This took over 17 Triaxle loads of material, but the end product came out great!

Due to how the neighbor's driveway, easement and house is set, there was a lot of water making it down the center of this client's driveway and sitting near his house. Unfortunately, there were not too many good options to eliminate how water was getting down to and sitting near his house due to aforementioned easement and house grade.. However, I believe that we made the best of what minor slope existed on the site and removed all standing water issues from the driveway space. Equipment Used: Mini Excavator: 2021 Bobcat e26 R-Series Greade Tool: ZipLevel-2000 Camera: GoPro Hero 7 </video> <video> Repairing a Foundation Drain Description: Here I help out my neighbor repair the egress pipe on his foundation drain as it was clogged and backing water up into his basement.

Description: Here I return to the property that I ground stumps on and installed a shed pad to install a new lawn. I had to grind one more stump and then made use of the harley rake to churn up and grade the yard, and then came in with the landscape rake to final grade and clean up! Equipment Used: Skid Steer/CTL: 2021 Bobcat T66 Harley Rake: Bobcat 6' Soil Conditioner Power Rake: Bobcat 5B Landscape Rake Stump Grinder: MTL Attachments X-series XG24 Stump Grinder </video> <video> Getting a Steelwrist Tilt Rotator for the E50 Description: I finally did it. I got a Tilt Rotator for the E50! This attachment is going to make jobs more efficient, easier and fun! I went with a Steel Wrist as it is supported by my Bobcat dealer along with having a good local support network. In this video I test it out with a bucket, ripper and a CMP NRG82 Grapple as well as going through the computer options of the Steel Wrist.

It is not completely finished, but is certainly closer now!

It worked out really well and the rotation allowed for easy breaking of the roots. Definitely have to watch out for stray roots going into the rotator though!
