Hey Brandon, between you and LD18, Chris, you keep my YT from cooling down much. 😉. Enjoy watching and learning, even at my age... 😏 Thanks for all the great entertainment!! 👍😎✌️

Rocky hard ground looks pretty dry too ! 💪🏼

Howdy Elites! 🤠 Definitely some rocky soil. 👊

Good digging!

Good ole SW Missouri ground....gotta love it!! Good job bud!

You went from having respiratory problems to back trouble! Jesus, my back was aching just watching that. I think the ripper hook might have helped some there.

Wow! Looks like a lot of work digging in that rocky ground and 24" wide ditch with a 18 " bucket ! Time consuming but anothet great job Elite!

Lol... Brandon after watching several of your rock digging videos I've come to the conclusion that you like to punish yourself and your machines. Watching your channel is gigging rock and you watch Let's Dig18 and he's digging mud. I'm never ever going to complain about anything ever again! I live about 25 miles from Jpaydirt and I've gotta say that comparing soils we have awesome soil for excavating.

Ouch! I think those teeth might need a visit from a dentist after that! Thanks for the video.

May have to put new teeth on the bucket when you finish that job. Good luck. You'll get it done.👍

Well I guess one things for sure the house won’t settle lol. Horrible on that machine. Going to need new pins and bushings. Watching from Michigan keep up the good work!

G'day great video mate nice rocky ground

You like that Joplin ROCK.

Tuff digging, I said where's the ripper, about the time you said next bring it, I would have to take some tylenol , from the sound, and getting beat.. keep on digging!!

Most of the time I'm really glad I dont have to deal with rock like that in my part of the state. Lol

It's not just anyone that can dig a 24" footing with an 18" bucket, that takes some skill. Lol. You may have to start your own blasting company just to do footings. Stay safe brother.

Ohhhh mannnnn. I know you are used to the soil (????) you have there, but what painful work digging that!! You are exactly right about having a good client!! Keep them happy, they keep you happy and their good habits keep them busy, as well as you!! Stay safe Elite family,,,,, Eh!

Nice job!!👍

Great work man 😎👍

I am from india good job👍

That is some hard stuff! Always fn when they don't leave any room for digging those walls.Nice work

Reminds me of laying water lines over at Girard.

H A R D going!

that sure was hard digging...you had the smoke flying lol, thumbs up !!

A tad rocky. Hey, but look at the bright side, after you've drug the bucket flat to smooth the bottom of the ditch, you can use the bucket teeth for razor blades.

Now that job would have loosened up the ol' dentures. Good thing you're still young...

Rock on 💯

That's deff some good footings. I found some carbide teeth off a continuous miner mechine and welded a few on the back side of a bucket for just that type of stuff. Rip that rock up !!!

Good job Brandon. That rocky clay looks like NC dirt to. Take care and GOD BLESS and see you on your next vidja. Say hello to the family for me.

good job sir,but it did hurt to watch you dig it,stay safe and teii the mrs hello.

That made for a LONG DAY for sure! However, you're a very lucky man. Know why? Cuz what if the Train Track job hid the Same Soil Content? See, feel better now? Guess you'll backfill this too? Also, you have an agreement for higher price for the overriding labor? Anyway, looks good and nice house too. HUG the family! Sonny

I`m surprised that you didn`t have to call the dentist after that job.

A rough day at the office today ah lol.

Its good Friday agian already !

That’s some rocky material Hows the teeth on that bucket Looking good Brandon🤙

Was that fill or natural rock placement?? You done good , Elite standards .

What is this send invoice get paid right away concept you speak of? 😆 I have several contractors like that, you are right they get moved up the job list!

Reminded me of LETSDIG18’s job while back. HA

A bit ruff look’n lol. Rocks are hard to dig clean like. Mr. Frank.

Digging hard Rocky ground is rough on equipment & oporater to say the lest we dig all kind og material we have ave the equipment to had anything Dat come our way I know how it is to keep customers happy we have a few Dat are really great those are had to find & keep the DOD is a pain in sooo many ways but they pay extermly well

Can you describe the job before running the machine its really hard to hear you.

May I ask. Do you consider to move to other state for better paid or more interesting projects?

That's some hard ground, are you sure you weren't in Kentucky? lol

I’ve got a question for you, we’re digging my basement out now with a Case 580 backhoe, we’re digging our footings and hit a big rock. We removed the rock but have about 2’ or so lower then grade for the footings. What’s the best way to go about that? Add concrete to the hole? Throw rocks in then concrete? Just curious what you would do?

how long does the teeth last ?

The only thing that would make that job better... doing it in August. Then you’d be breaking all the rocks instead of rolling a few of them out! I bet some treasure hunter in the future will cross that pile of rocks and get a hit on his metal detector... from all the teeth tips you ground off. After a day of that kind of digging my legs kill me. I can’t relax and dig... I tense up and try to push the bucket in the ground with my feet. I’d never make it as a full time digger! Nice job of showing SW/MO soil at its finest!

what a bonehead area to building housing, with all the rock just down from surface.
