Get you a rock crusher 🤯 now I need a rock hill. Man the list is getting big for my dream property 🤣.
Morning
Howdy Brock! Really like the idea of using the materials you have on the property. I think I was on team 'use your own rocks' when the subject came up before. Placing the rocks wasn't something I had considered though lol. But sounds like you have an idea how to get it done. Also think you won't regret building a trail or road to get easier access to the rest of the property. Well done and thanks for sharing 🤠
PS: Carson – ya need to paint some eyes on the ripper so it looks like a T-rex lol
People pay good money for rock like that down south here! Definitely a improvement than before.
Hello Brock. The mini-ex, with the ripper and thumb, did a great job of picking stones.
You mentioned that the rocks are sandstone. Scupltors might be interested in buying rocks for projects.
Sandstone can be shaped so the rocks could be used for a stone house.
If you had a small barge, could you load a few rocks, float to the island, and then roll rocks over the side?
Good luck with the island project. Jim
If you only had a rock crusher…….
you need to find you a rock crusher, then you could use and sell crushed stone.
Brock, use the smaller roks as well they could be wheel barrowed out and dropped in and they work better than the bigger ones. The bigger ones would be used where you really big waves, which you don’tin your pond.
Maybe you should talk to Brandon at elite earthworks maybe he could give you some ideas.
You need to get a telehandler with a bucket to place the rocks
You need a dump trailer to haul the rock to the work site..
Beautiful pond shot!
I don't think that you need to buy any rirfh rath rocks
Yakking stops at 7:40, then action begins. FYI.
sorry, viewers are dumb sometimes. the island is just a bunch of work for what?
It'd be a much nicer view without the island and bridges.
Enjoyed this episode !
ya it was 50K when he bought it 3 years ago can't get them that low now
What if you get a backhoe with an extendable boom?
Brock, why don't you use a conveyor system? There is no need for renting an excavator.
Not a winter project, but you could float rocks out from the shore to the island on a large truck inner tube with a board on top. Total cost would be under $50. It'd be slow, but you could place the rocks precisely and at your own pace without being constrained by equipment rental time.
I've run heavy equipment for quite a few years mainly excavators and In order to reach where you want to yes definitely an 8 ton machine is needed but if it was me I'd get a 15 ton if you could justify it and I think you'd have plenty of reach to put rocks where you want them. It is a little hard to tell on video how far it actually is but if it was me I'd go for a 15 ton
Carry rocks by hand.
I have the same machine and I love it 😊
Great video Brock. I don't think you'll run out of rocks anytime soon…
I like watchin videos seeing the equipment working instead of listening to specs
I would be using my brush grapple to sift out the smaller rocks and move the larger rocks. I’ve already tackled one project where I used the grapple to remove a stone foundation and load them on my trailer. I later used the grapple to move my pile of rocks over to my new wall project.
