Caps off to you, thanks for the schooling, mad respects. Your videos have helped me huge. Excavator, dozer and skid steer rookie here. Went to work and I inherited a new work tools. And here I am, doing honest catch up and learning.

All the dipsticks on youtube that got a job last summer for some low buck landscaper and think they can run a skid steer. Finally there is someone that knows what the front of the bucket is for. You cut grade not back drag to grade. That is why there is a cutting edge on the front of the bucket. You are 100% right about carrying a little dirt in the bucket to help it cut. I spent over 25000 hours in a skid steer in my career as a member of Local 49 Operating Engineers. Ran mostly Bobcat and Cat machines. Bobcat with radial lift arms is a better grading machine. The radial arms are better for grading simply because you get much better visibility to the sides and back. Vertical arms get a bit sloppy.

One tip I always give new guys that are trying to do finish grade is to put the heel of the bucket on the ground and just use the cutting edge up and down to grade. I know that's what you're doing but others may not. Great video.

I'm just learning to navigate with my skid steer more efficient and really enjoy using it, hoping to add it to my construction business as another source of revenue. I can't tell you how helpful this was! Would've never thought about loading the bucket! Thanks a ton man!

Excellent video. I'm a relative novice with about 100hrs in rented CTLs. This was always an issue... but I left the bucket empty.

Another great video and content. The commentary and education is the BEST!

[IrishRooster]

Great video bro. Wonderfully explained and very informative. Thank you.

[tylerhart]

Enjoyed the video. Never thought about this concept before. Thanks!

[kellywhite]

Great vid. Grading a large area today didn't like being inefficient. Tomorrow will be better, thanks.

[Kleiminc]

The best trick of the trade I’ve seen. Thank you so much for sharing it with us

[aaronburford]

I absolutely love this video, content, camerview, commentary and info! I want to try it!

How fast are you moving? I find it difficult to get the right forward speed while adjusting the cutting angle. Best explanation I’ve seen so far, by the way…will check out your other videos.

Wish the skid steers we had on this job weren't so messed up so I could grade like this. Now I'm no pro I'll admit I make a little whoopsie now and then but the bushings and pins are shot on the 2 skiddys we have so the buckets have like 4-6 inches of play in them at the blade. Makes it real hard to do these long smooth passes cause the blade wants to dip or jump on you. Any tips on how to deal with that? other than fixing it cause I have told my supervisor and foreman about it but they dont want to shut the machine down.

would this work on a tractor with a front end loader/bucket or would that rig be to lite and deflect to easily?

[austinjones]

My goodness that is some good dirt. You could just about a rake and shovel to grade that. I work in nothing but red clay. Freaking nite mare. Have to get a full bucket and track roll it constantly just to pack the clumps back together to start another cut. 🤦🏼
