Floating grade in a skid steer (also known as float mode) is an advanced technique learned from lots of 'seat time' in the machine. Thank you for the Master Class.

The last 4 mins with you grading the material with rhe skid steer is phenomenal! My favorite part!

I have attempted to watch and listen to others discuss and disaplay grading, but none do it like you sir. You are simply the best, and I could watch all day! Great content as usual, and I am rewatching this again!

Always enjoy watching the grading being done by you.... It is so relaxing to both watch and listen!

There is so much rock still on the lot!!! New owner is going to have a hell of time keeping the grass green!

You are in, you are out , Bada bing, Bada bang!! Heh heh. Always fun to watch you doing this work with the skid loader. Thanks for sharing Brandon!!

Great job, you take pride in your work.

Love these jobs. Another quality result. Nice work.

Always love to start my day looking at a great grading project done by the best..... soothing to the mind!

Nice work !

another job nailed. great job !!....thumbs up

So enjoyable watching you work. You have a talent.

Watching this Elite Earthworks guy….see what its all about 🤔🤷‍♂️

Beautiful work......

I always hit Like before I watch it...

Beautiful work.

I did the same type of job today. I always enjoy doing yards, I don't know why. There's just something satisfying about taking a ratty looking house lot and making it look nice. Good job dude.

Looks great as usual!

Great! The Preparator, my favorite attachment. I thought you might not have enough topsoil at first but you put it on like you were using a paintbrush and covered every inch! Came out beautiful.

Great job 👍🏻🇺🇸

Mrs. E could be getting some good sunshine out there raking in that top soil!

Great music on this time-lapsed video Brandon and it looks really good too.

Pretty good looking sharp work you did there Brandon 😎👍🏻

Awesome job Brandon

Damn that looks so nice once you were done. Great work as always.

Brandon I am very impressed on the Escavating work from the sidewalk to the house with the excavator that was awesome the whole job looked awesome now I see why you get the big bucks hahaha

Howdy Elites! 🤠 Hurry up weekend, then slow it down! It's so much easier watching people work, I mean my skin doesn't leak when someone else does it. 😁 Maybe tomorrow I get to spend time in the cab with the A/C 👍 Enjoyed the clean up !

Looked good. Good video.

Nice job!!

Great work sir

Looks boss.

Nice Job ! Keep up the Video's !

im glad you didn’t knock over the portypotty over when you moved it with the skid steer lol 🤣😂😅 never seen one moved like that lol 🤣😂😅

This looks amazing!

Nice work there man! I love watching that bucket flip you do lol. I’ve been borrowin that technique. I call it the elite flip 😆

Looking great Brandon! Had my EPA inspection today....yikes, lets just say, I can't sit down without extreme pain!

Empressive

holy crap you scared the $#!+ out of me working up against that house with your track hoe, your depth perception is fighter pilot level!!! Outstanding work, I really enjoy your vid's and learn a little something new every time. If you ever want a free trip to Northern MI to give lessons let me know 🤣😂🙂

Looks like some of the best dirt you've had to work with in a while, maybe ever. Always looks rocky to me.

Hi Brandon!!😀😀 Nice job there buddy!!😀😀👍👍

That came out mint 🤘

Nice grading job!

Looks great Brandon! It looks like you had some nicer dirt to work with this time too!

Around here grading also involves avoiding shallow irrigation pipes. I like how much room there is around the house for a nice yard. For some reason it has always been easier for me to grade with a dozer than a skid steer. Maybe your tracked machine makes the difference.

Good job buddy!

great job buddy and great video as always buddy 😎👊🏻👍🏻

Looks good even with the shortage of dirt. Hope you’re doing well bro beans!

That was very close to the house jezzzz

Kinda nice to be back in the yardening business again. Ain’t it? Could you reverse that grading bucket if you needed to fill against a longer foundation? I don’t remember if you ever told us. How long did it take to get used to the baby Coochie again? It has to be almost like retraining that muscle memory when you switch back and forth. I’m looking at a rain gauge that reads 3 7/8” just for today... and a radar that says, “You ain’t seen nuthin yet!” Gonna be a day or two before you get back into the swamp! I stopped by Whislers today. They had a sign up, “Hiring for Diamond Grove”. Won’t be long before they start cooking there. Has Billy said what the latest opening plans are? I liked the ‘Just Working’ video... kinda changes the feel. Nice job.

Brandon looks great. What would've been funny If someone was in the porta john when you moved it. Take care and GOD BLESS and see you on your next vidja.

Busy, Busy, Busy! 🙂

Excavator buckets & thumbs should articulate together on a ball to tilt & turn around up to 350*. Need to retrofit, too.

Watched, Subsrcribed, Liked, Shared, Commented.... I want to drive a Skid Steer and learn how to grade so badly.... You make it look so easy and fun to do1

Finish Grading = Elite!

tell your friends we need to get his numbers up jim west from North Carolina

Why don't they install kerb (curb) and gutters with underground stormwater pipes in these new areas in America? In Australia, they normally put them in, as part of the road, before houses are built - and we have very little rain! Great job by the way! 🙂👍

Quite a change of pace from building a railroad! You folks get any strong storms in your area? Stay safe!

The part I don't understand is how do you give it a slope using the skid steer? From what I can see the slope was already there, and skid steer rides the slope. But what if you have a flat terrain and want to create a grading away from the house when there is none? Does the skid steer is able to tilt the front bucket to a particular angle?

good to see you do yards again,nice job. is that the tree they had you move in the background?

Me personally. That yard rake you have is the twin to mine. I can’t stand the damn thing. Well my arms can’t.

I would have hit the house putting dirt up to it like that I don't know how you do it with out hitting the house, but you do great work.

Hey, ain't you the guy who used to do this to all those new house builds? You haven't lost the touch, good buddy! You move that nice dirt like a fork moving food on a dinner plate! Are they installing tracks why you got to leave (or did you 'sneak' out - "took a sick day"!) Regardless, thank you for another and great to see a nice job! Sonny

I didn’t see you check the port-a-jon before you moved it 🤣

How do you like the tooth bucket compared to a straight edge for spreading topsoil? I have been contemplating buying one for awhile now and watching this makes me wanna pull the trigger

Best soil yet was it brought in from another county ( state) he he

I see that the preparator makes a little bit of dirt go a long way, or was it planned that way? Either way it got the job done and looks great.

What type of soil dis you choose? I am restoring my frond yard and tilled everything but have lots of Sand and Clay. Trying to get a golf course quality lawn

That is one machine you get your. Money's worth outta. , you really crank out the work. With them coochi coos. They .must be damm reliable machines. Cuz. Guys your size running them every day. Are. Running choochies

So do you eyeball for your finish grades? and how do you calculate how much topsoil to bring in? Fairly new to grading work and I am quoting a rather large new build project. Final grade for a yard/sod/irrigation .Roughly 31,500 SQft

Turned out great but I have a question: is the control pattern on the rake the same as the Takeuchi? 😆

Wouldn't it be easier to backfill in front of the house with the bucket turned the other direction?(on mini x). Just curious.. And... you are perty dang good on the skid steer! 👍

Looks good. I hate to think with my experience how long it would take me to do a job like that. What is a ballpark square footage and cost for a house like that

Was more interested in the last 10 seconds of video unfortunately. But looks very nice

Shoulda had smooth operator playing for the music😂

How do you price these jobs?

I bought an ARBOR HOME and they put sod on the top of a lot of rocks, ZERO top soil, just on the top of a lot of rocks, I kept wondering why it felt so bumpy, horrible job from ARBOR HOMES
