Removing an old concrete pad to build a new house pad. My first job with the quick coupler but not with the thumb extended which made things a bit of a pain. Also I discovered it’s a real pain to load concrete that is piled up. The trucks couldn’t get there until the afternoon so I wanted to keep working and cleaning the area up. I wanted to rough grade where the pad was at so I piled the concrete up. The time I thought I saved to continue working I lost when trying to load the trucks. Next time I’ll wait, lesson learned! Thanks for watching! #EliteEarthworks #Takeuchi

I would have left the end of pad together for a smooth level spot to load from. You got er done and that is all that matters! Folks not believe in weed spray down there? You are always clearing jungle yards!
I guess it’s good you found the bra empty. And that you found it at the END of the school zone rather than in it 😂
Thanks for sharing. We all have days where we could have made a better plan, I know it happens to me! At the end of the day you got the job done and done right and that is what is important. It takes a better man to do what you did and still share the video, despite being a bit aggravated! Sorry your thumb is not working in harmony with your buckets now. I will stretch that for you if you bring it to me. I would be glad to make that little adjustment free of charge!
Wow that is one huge satellite dish, what are they trying to find other civilizations???
You done a good job but I would have left the woman in the bra
Good work! Did you learn that breaking concrete trick from this video? https://youtu.be/8B_pYUuE_b4
What kind of neighborhoods are you working in finding bras??? Is their a brothel near by…
In a few years you are going to have Cat 320's and such you will be competing with Chris the hillbilly from NC.
Good job & great video!!!
I sure could use that broke up concrete for a creek crossing that keeps washing out at my house. Nice video sir!
Good job have a good week
The pieces of concrete need to be broken up enough to fit in the bucket to load out of a pile. Like you found out, slabs and big chunks are better off flat on the ground. It probably wouldn't have been as bad if the thumb was making it to the bucket tip like it should.
I believe that you should not be too hard on yourself breaking the concrete into small pieces but if that's the biggest mistake you make everything will be fine, good video
Yeah I wouldn't touch that! Lol. Love wrecking ball for concrete
Cant wait hope u getcha a bigger coochie lol
Another GREAT video Brandon. The Music was great as always. Keep up the good filming and editing.
What size buckets do you have for your excavator? I was thinking why couldn't a guy have a 500 or 1000Ib. round steel ball and drop that on concrete to break it. I have seen a youtube video where they do that in a quarry to bust up the bigger rock. I'm not sure where you could get something like that.
Should have titled this Vidja, Removing a Bra.
Maybe change it next week as Click Bait for some extra views.
Comrade – Beginning of the vidja… look a wild coochie!!! Omg it just ate the whole bush 😳😳😳😳 haha DRINK MORE VODKAS!
nice work, a bigger bucket and wider thumb would have made this job quicker.
the loader with a 4in1 bucket would have made light work of all this, cant help but keep pushing for a 4in1 lol
with a full bucket of concrete and soil in the 4in1 you can open the bucket an inch and sieve out some soil by shaking it back and forth
I find it amazing what you can do with that mini, but was wondering if there was any plans or thoughts of getting a full size excavator? Mainly this comes from watching your latest sewer videos where you had to dig like 14 feet down.
awwwww, it wasn't that bad!!! You got it done. More money is the way of the world. I bet you know someone at a bank…… 🙂
Good work though!!! Keep it up!!
He came in like a wrecking ball! First self trimming, pad removing Coochie ever! Lol
And your appendage is 6" too short, bad times lol
just curious do you have to pin the straw after seeding the yard? The wind sure takes it's toll. Great video as always!
👍
The bra matches the panties I found on a jobsite in Texas! I've also interrupted a couple who thought the jobsite wasn't active.
Time was not lost….we all learn by doing. Experience for the next project, I least that is the way I looked at those things!
3:57 LOL :)))) You may have secret admirers Ha ha
Not trying to put you down for it time for a jackhammer
I was thinking to my self, oh he must be gonna load it with a bucket lol. Well you soon won't forget that one. As Jason says, drink more vodka‼️🤪🤪
Did you take that bra home to Mrs Elite? If so you should have video'd her response…..
As Forrest Gump says
"it happens"
hello to you and your lady. hope ya,ll are doing great. thanks for the awesome video bud. you and your lady be safe out there and take care. ✌✌🙏🙏
I would say that machine did what it was supposed to do, all a bigger machine would do the job a little quicker and then that day job is only 3 hours I don't think it's worth it. I am in search of a one and a half ton cannonball of steel to take with me on concrete jobs. Keep on stroking thanks for sharing !
hey elite earthworks! was just watching your video and realized the area looked familiar. we worked "near" each other on 23rd and pearl!lol keep up the great work guys!
Bras and Coochies? This channel is getting worse than JasonWorksALot! Not safe for work! I didn't see the "mistake" right off, but wondered as you piled it up. I woulda done the same thing (piling it up), just trying to get ahead of the game. Well, new you (and we) know that it doesn't really work out that way. Oh well! Another great video! Keep up the good work and thanks for sharing!
Lesson learn for next time lol . Great video dude .
Back on Maiden Lane. I was watching to the video to see if I drove by this time LOL
Thanks for watching
How long have you been in business?
Wow! I love that wrecking ball Brandon! Where can I buy one of those or maybe you’ll sell me yours?
🤜🤛
I’ve never made a mistake but if I do I’ll watch this video for comfort 🤣😂. Really I love you showing the real world struggles of all the different things you encounter. You think next time you have a concrete slab you could do half with a sledge hammer and chisel and the other half with the coochie? BTW Bigdeal couldn’t take Jason’s hat off first try but you scored the bra first try for the win!!
It looks like the road curbing doesn't have provisions (slope to road) for that or any pad anyway.
Oh… I knew you were going to use that piece of concrete(?) to shatter that big piece of pad and others. Great minds think alike. 😉
I'm guessing that you should have left the large pieces intact so loading is faster, correct?
No, not correct.
Did the bra fit you? LOL
Nice 90s satellite dish, rare bird there.
Thank you sir for posting this video. I have a sort of urgent question to ask. We are buying a house that’s built on a lot that used to be a parking pad. Now we are finding out that the house was probably built with a lower finished floor elevation than what’s design according to the land disruption plan, causing us now end up with a swale driveway rather than a regularly sloped driveway that everyone else in this neighborhood has. Wanted to hear from you to see if this is acceptable and what might be the reasons that the builder built the foundation this way? Thanks.
Nice….
What size excavator is that?
