Mate - You are one of if not the best example of how youtube vids on digger work (and especially making roads through back country) can be SO freaking helpful and downright inspiring.... I use a wheelchair and walking sticks and live on rural property here in Australia. it's a rainforest valley with it's fair share of rainfall and virgin lush hillsides with clay under topsoil (Not much sandstone but a few floaters) I have a CAT 308E2 i've been teaching myself to drive, gaining what skills I can to start making safe access through these hillsides. Can't get enough of your experece, enthusiasm, positive attitude in face of adversity, and your willingness to share your attention to detail! It really means alot..!! So from halfway around the world - Thank you Todd for what you do, and how you do it! BIG MACK!

Big Mack ! Big Mack ! Big Mack ! Enjoying this build. Challenging for sure. I had a similar project myself last February 2023. Didn't require and Class B, because I had access to some really good shale here in Arkansas. Fact is, those build won't be rock solid for a little while. But over the late Spring and Summer that road was as hard as any road. Hang in there, it'll surely turn out great !

I am an older gal that has wanted to do excavation since I was twenty’s. But couldn’t until now. I bought a skid steer. I bought an old excavator and I have a ford 2005 750 dump truck. I went to heavy equipment operator school to get basics . I love seeing that you now have a BIg Mack dump. I have goals to grow like you….. Thanks for taking the time for these videos….
