Wow lucky you. I ran two Vermeer rock trenchers for 20 years. its a moving eathquake and breaks down all the time!!

That was a sweet video. Cool machine.

Nice looking dozer. Good video.

I laughed out loud at the hands argument. So many people outside the industry can't grasp how well you get to know your ground man. It really is unique and that spat 100% captures it. Great video!

I see you don't use side dump buckets on you loaders out in California. Strange because by us in North Jersey and the north east in general, most contractors wouldn't even attempt a job like that without a side dump. So useful and advantageous, it makes me wonder why you wouldn't want one there.

I always love those the ditches are always so nice with a Vermeer never ran one I did have to move one off the lowboy one time that’s as far as I’ve got on one of those, always hired a third-party for those they look fun, great video awesome stuff keep them coming good luck on the job

Nice job and video like always

great video

Had a problem like this with a quick attach grinder for concrete, a welder got fired, mechanic got put on leave with a piss test every couple days. CAT was not happy with the company for trying to repair one of their rental pieces without there consent. Pretty much ruined that job as safety was breathing down our necks (literally standing with is for 8 hours). I was the happy camper though sitting on my backhoe minding my own🤣

For future reference you can do a test grind to truly see how wide your teeth stick out. That's what we did to make sure to cut proper width

I wonder what the financial and time difference would be between our method in Arizona besides the gas company (renting out a saw) and you guys running a ditch machine. We saw cut everything from 3 foot up to 10 miles. Then typically milling companies buy the material from us for reuse and we pay the trucking. In a day we could have our trench started as long as the plates were delivered and the trucks for haul were scheduled properly.

I hate milling heads weather it’s on a skidsteer or a loader like that

So just for thought. When you were worried about moving over for that second cut. Please let me know if it could or couldn't work but what if you put a steel plate down and run your track on the steel plate. That way you wouldn't have to worry about asphalt breaking and honestly you could run half the track on the plate and still be ok. But awesome video man.

He seems very high strung and induces stress into the situation when it’s not called for. I’m a pediatric trauma surgeon so I’m not speaking out of class. It’s just annoying when someone does that tone of voice about something that’s not life or deAth. My kids do that and I just wanna tell them what went on at work, and I didn’t even do that. But I can’t tell them because it involves dead kids and that’s not appropriate.

Those teeth need to be cooled with water or they will get so hot they weld themselves to the block I noticed a small water tank but the lines could have been plugged Looks like your asphalt rock is hard as hell too All that makes a difference

What part of Ca are you located in?

Why didn't you sawcut it? Not following the logic here. Really enjoy your videos; I ran a pipe crew for 8 years and understand the magic of a crew working flawlessly without even communicating. It's amazing.

Road hog is the name not rock hound lol

👍👌

Would prefer to see a little more editing. Too much non-value added footage, IMHO. Thanks for the videos.
