Thanks for having me on the channel guys!!!!

I like the explanation of efficient/coordinated digging/putting the dirt in the direction the customer wants the dirt to end up...less effort on your part. Very cool.

This is exactly why I like being an operator. Everything is a puzzle. Whether it be planning out my dig pattern with an excavator, or planning out your paths on a paver in a driveway or parking lot, or even the fastest way to strip dirt with a dozer.. it’s all a fun puzzle to solve. The better you are at puzzles, the faster you can get things done.

as an electrician debating building his own house at some point, foundations have been the part of it that scares me the most, and this honestly puts my mind at ease at how atleast the preparation is done. It also helps I really only want something rectangular and super simple. thanks for the tips!

These big machines are definitely the way to go when you have the room. We've had to many tight fit, and hand shoveled jobs over the years !
