Grading a Hill with Bobcats E26 & T66

Here we help out a client and family friend grade out the side yard against his driveway to allow for an approachable space to maintain, as well as redirect water shedding from the hill and driveway. It was a rough start with the equipment, but we got it done! This job would have certainly been quite tedious had we not had the skid steer!

Equipment Used:
Excavator: 2021 Bobcat E26 R-Series
Skid Steer: 2021 Bobcat T66 CTL R-Series
Tractor: 2019 Kubota BX23s

You knew the assignment, and you and your dad got it done. No slope, and the owner can mow the lawn when it comes in. Great job.

First ime running my t770 I yoinked two hydraulic hoses off the root grapple. Fluid went everywhere

I remember MY first time running a skid steer lmao!
Jokes aside, great job fellas!! Looks awesome

Tip:: dump the soil in small piles, flatten your bucket the float it. Run it back and forth for a smooth fluffy, even leveled topsoil. .

That’s a big tree stump alright. you dug down the side of it but if you went around 360 of it then took a chain saw to it you’d have the top cut off to below ground level :)
Wow the digger is small but mighty, never would of thought you’d get so much done with a small digger. excellent job

Didn't see that coming ...around 25:00... big boulder. Nice handling and placement.

How about a follow up on your projects? Looks great going in, would love to see 6 months later

I also own a dirt company, just curious why you didn't just move all the dirt the first time with the skid steer. Seems like a waste to take and put it in a pile with the excavator and then come back and move the same dirt with the skid steer especially when you're only moving it 50 ft?

Glad I got wheel machines I use over tracks Way less problems

Surprisingly satisfying to watch! Thanks. Normally the smaller trivial bits in the video get edited out but it's great to see how you guys roll. I've got a E26 and a T590 combo also. How do you find the T66 - worth the update?
I like how you place the topsoil on the job, have you considered using a grab level bar? They smash big areas quickly. You have to watch the soil tension if you don't have scarifying tynes. We operated in New Zealand.

Looks good. I'd skip the stone part.

Takes look at Capt Kleeman he has a fuel tank set up as a homesteader 👍👍🇬🇧🇬🇧

What if u back the tractor on trailer? If back heavy and have no support for ramp

Flog company in the state of Utha makes the best transfer tanks.

Now you just need a Harley rake and you’ll be set

Great work. I do similar work. I have a tractor and a mini x. But thinking hard on a tracked skidd. Do you like your bobcat? I know you had a few but that’s equipment. I a thinking T62.

[genecoppedge]

Maybe you answered this in the video but why didn’t Bobcat service come out tightened the loose fitting and refilled the hydraulic fluid? I like the CJI Action 3 camera. It doesn’t have the overheating problems that the GoPro has.

Nice job. Would a bit of woven or non woven fabric been better under the swale gravel. For weeds and settling?

Makes me even more hesitant to buy the new r series 76

hi like your channel i have a 2020 bobcat e10 it leaks hydraulic fluid and my wheel motor started leaking i had to tighten all the lines it is like a little kid tightened them they were so loose is what it is just keep going forward
