Sprinkle some water, and hit it with a roller. Compaction is where it's at!!

I love how much fun you have while working. That is a blessing. Thank you.

One of the best youtube channels ever! So much help to our business

It would be so satisfying to see those machines pressure washed! That attachment is bad ass! I’ve seen some crazy power rakes but that thing takes the cake I think! Also that trailer is insane! I’ve never seen such a balanced trailer especially loading up! Awesome vid Stan!

Super video and thanks for the shout out for me and my son James mac. Reynolds. Keep them coming stan the man.👍

My man thanks for the shout out Stan. Always enjoy the content and the humor. John's lawns East Tn

Cool video. I love how you enjoy doing your work and have a good time doing it. And making it right. I dig the thought going into the camera angles too, like when you were cleaning the tracks. Sweet touch.

Hey Stan, I’ve been a subscriber to your channel for easily 5-8 years, if not longer. Thanks for your content. Your channel is one of the reasons I started my own landscape business and started a KZfaq channel. I would appreciate a shout out!

Great video Stan I had to let you know. I finally bought my first skid steer a bobcat s70 I'm glad I still can't believe it yet. just last year I was laid off I took what I had left in the bank and started a company.. I honestly Gota say bud thank u for all ur video plus the times I ask you question and you answer and help thank you very much.. God bless🙏 have a great week

Nice one Stan 👍👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Interesting video. Loved the camera view and commentary! Driveway looks great!

The music and video are so relaxing and satisfying!

Hey Stan! since my year abroad in Wisconsin 2019, I’m following your videos. In the beginning it was a great way to practice to understand spoken English better. However, since I understand a lot of it, it’s really fun and interesting to listen to. I would really appreciate a shout out. Keep up great work! Greetings from Germany 🇩🇪

Brilliant work and thanks for sharing this with us take care

Driveway is looking great there Stan!

I love your bird Gracie. This morning I was on the phone with someone an my bird Kimmy would not stay quiet for anything. I had to bribe her with about 50 sunflower seeds. Works every time. I haven't given her anything but water to drink, no soda since I don't drink it. But I know almost all pets will eat it drink anything they see us eating and drinking. Great video buddy, tell Gracie I say she's a Pretty bird. I love birds and they are almost as good at warning us of any trouble as a good dog can.

Such a artist you are great job !

Awesome video, another job well done.

Soils guy here.....put some water on it before you mix. Get that moisture throughout the base. It will help you achieve your compaction.

Great job, you make it look easy my brother

Even a static roll does wonders, I live down the road from a trap rock quarry, its all we use around here, amazingly amazing product, 3/8's crusher run FTW

Good good stuff man. I'm hooked on your vids. From Minnesota and we appreciate some hard work!

Man gotta love Gracie!!! I sweat she sounded like a ambulance a few video's ago, also thought there was a back up warning device in your office!!

We use one similar and call it a soil conditioner, use it to loosen up pre existing soil before putting down new material. What I mean, get rid of pot holes and hard ground before putting down rock so you can grade the way you need. They work awesome!

Awesome job Stan looks great

Thank you for another great video Stan👍

I like this track. Reminds me of tropical house. That stuff has a nice relaxing vibe

Glass? Not without water and a compactor. I wouldn’t get paid leaving that driveway like that.

Hi Stan, I run a Harley Rake T8 PTO mounted on my John Deere 4610 tractor. Incredible piece of equipment for soil prep.

Its funny, I have an old (probably pushing 50 years) bluebird power rake for dethatching its a walk behind push machine (it vibrates the stuffing out of your hands). so when ever I hear you talk about your power rake I get confused for a quick second! great video!

All I noticed was that Saturn in the drive! My dad had two..both over 475k miles with no problems outside of regular maintenance, Much like a Toyota..He drove 120k miles a year for 37 years... His Toyota matrix made it to 720k before he totaled it in a snow storm, his shoes were knocked off but he didnt even have a mark on him...I know nothing to do with landscaping but it reminded me 🙂....I love my Harley rake,on my dingo 525 it's a great tool but obviously a full size has its advantages as I can see! Dingo just does have the stability

Drive way looking good Stan I had to laugh when u got all excited about the shout outs I think that made the video for me lol

I LOVE TELLING PEOPLE TO HAVE A BLESSED DAY ❤️❣️💙💙 MUCH LOVE FROM BRANSON MO !!!! RODNEY

Thanks for the great and awesome video

Another amazing video bro thanks for the video 👍

Cool equipment usage video! I was anticipating the retaining wall continuation video though. This was great to see instead. Thanks...

I use a harley rake to fix driveways and private roads. Best advice is to tailgate spread the material, rake it out then vibratory roll it. All with one machine.

Thanks for the shout out Stan from Dirt Pros Florence Alabama 🇺🇲

That is one sexy trailer…… thanks for another great video!!!!

Mate I laughed so hard when you were laying down eyeing your work , that's me hahaha

pretty cool attachment! Big smooth Drum compactor and you'd be able to roller skate on er!!!!! keep up the great work !

Love the videos

Ya need a Vibrating roller. I love mine.

Hi I woch your videos everyday tell the team I said hi and I woch thor videos everyday I love you guys I love the video

Loved the vedio 👍👌

Cleaning the equipment before loading is great, But also I wish people would clean the trailer off as well to before getting on the road, Nice grading, I'll send you a bill for running into the attachment.

Rewatched! Love it!

Very nice hi five 🖐

Love the content, and thank you very much for the shoutout‼️‼️

Great video!

I have been doing driveways for a long time with just a box blade. It's all in the angle with the top link to set the distribution depth. Drainage is important for the edges of the driveway and to finish the driveway with a bit of crown to it. If you do the water will run off and avoid the formation of puddles. Standing water being driven over creates puddles. My driveway challenges are all related to being to cheap for the necessary gravel. That stuff is expensive.

Good afternoon, I would recommend that you don't use the soil conditioner like a bulldozer. You will bow or bend the drum. Ask me how I know lol. A roller would have made that a runway.

Looks great

Nice job, but don't really understand why he used that power rake? Seems like the whole job could have been done with the bucket.

Great video Stan 🇺🇲

Excellent! Thanks!

Thanks for another video bub

You know, if you want to get into doing driveways as an added line, you might want to look into buying a Gravel Doctor machine. It has 15 scarifying teeth that you can raise and lower hydraulically, you can scarify forwards and backwards, it has a two sided cutting blade on it so you can do that forwards and backwards too. You can also raise it and lower it on the 3-point, tilt it forward and back, and roll it clockwise and counter-clockwise; all hydraulically and controlled from the seat of your tractor. You can actually use the factory designed hydraulic valve box, or you can use the tractor's rear-remotes. I know a guy in Indiana who does that. I also used mine to excavate a few inches of dirt to make a stone shed pad or light duty parking pad. (Geogrid underneath the stone). Very efficient at that. BTW, I always suggest an inch to an inch-and-1/2 of well compacted 57's on top of a gravel driveway. It keeps the rain from washing away the fines. Just my 2 cents. Love your channel.

I lol your new hair. Looks good

when your watching this while doing something else and you hear the whistling like what the heck is that, pause the video not to hear it anymore then start it back up and you hear the bird wanted a little video time :D

Looks Great.

Hey Stan! Diamond C is the best trailer company in my eyes. It really is 40 years of engineering. Haha. Very nice trailer though.

A garden trowel works awesome for cleaning in between the tracks! its small enough to keep in the cab.

I just put down 155 tons of asphalt millings down for the driveway.It really packs together nice.

Please give G and R Lawn Service of Warsaw, NY a shout out.I always watch your videos and have helped me in my business here. I have sent you a message for a shout out a couple of times and haven't heard anything yet. So I hope you get this and read it.thanks again for your awesome videos. You have yourself a great day and night and always be safe out there.

Nice glass.

Dig the music ! Like your style man.

Would love to see you try out a box blade attachment on that skid loader. I have been workin with a CAT 299D3 XHP, with box blade. I just love it!

Great video! I found it easier to grade with tracked skid vs wheeled.

He literally has people who own skid steers paying him to haul his to the land and do work.... what a boss. I wanna see the Raw road cut how to

I would have liked to see the SR3 for the finish grading part. I have to say though, over my geographic area round the northeast, people would probably have used a D3 for that type of job. But both methods sure work.

Heyy Al/Stan...love you. Commenting for the algorithm stan

Ive never seen anyone harley rake gravel in my life and been in excavating 30 years .

Great video! I'll have to request another shout-out 👍

Stan I love you and all but why are we using a Harley rake to do the driveway? 🤔 Personally a bucket and a box blade would do the trick... Then water and compaction!

hey Stanley i was thinkly about hettting a 85cfm air compressor and after you break the heavy dirt with the shovel.then blow with the compress air to blow most of the dirt off making the machine cleaner

that would be a great job for your son get a hot water pressure washer put it down at your warehouse and have him clean all equipment

Great video my man! You never fail to amaze me. May I have a shout out in the next video please?

I haven't used one before. But they look real snazzy.i am surprised how you can spread the material right from the pile like that. I always thought they were used after a rough grading with a bucket or something but this eliminates that whole step. Pretty cool

1:39 osha would have a field day with you🤣🤣

I would love a shout out. I'm Chuck with C N D LANDSCAPING Mt Cobb PA . Love this channel and hope to be as big as you one day 🤞🤞

Love the longer videos. When’s there another cabin video coming?

The AHAs are so good, so glad I gave up pop

Stan from grinding the ice a few months ago to grading the stone working it all seasons they are great grading tools so are rockhounds

Good equipment usage vid! Do you still recommend the PAW wheelbarrow or is something better out there?

That’s so cool

At least you only have to clean soil out from the tracks. It could be worse. It could be Ice.

Track cleaning shots are oddly satisfied

If you're careful, you can use the lock handles on a Bobcat to drag attachments to you

DE SHOW .....WOW ........SHOWROOM .....

here to help

I started using a blower to blow off the crumbs after cleaning the tracks. Also looks like it is time to reverse your tracks and sprockets.

Hey Stan! Happy Wednesday! I've got a question: would you reccomend buying a well maintained used trailer for a lawn care business? (Gonna try a 2 mower setup) If so, what size and type would comfortably fit any size deck? (Probably no bigger than 60in) Have a great day! More questions to come soon! My setup would include 1 bigger deck zero (60) turn and a smaller size stand-in (42 or so).

We use alot of recycled asphalt/concrete here in the PNW, way cheaper and stronger than Virginia 5/8ths rock. Especially when you wet it down and roll/ compact it with roller and plate compactor in spots the roller can't get too.

Nice

Josh lane wants a shoutout 😎

Happy Wednesday Stan!!!
