Introduction and Equipment Overview

nobody in the company wants to go hop in to the worst of all possible worlds and go out and do all things inefficiently [Music] sauce [Music] all right you guys we are gonna put a mini excavator against the skid loader we are going to do a number of different things we're gonna dig a footing just like it's for a retaining wall or a garage footing we're also going to attempt to move materials with both pieces of equipment on a side by each basis we're gonna see which one dominates and last but not least we're gonna take an area like this and try to turn this apocalypse into a useable field using each piece of equipment and see which one comes out on top predictions think the mini axe is gonna take it I'm going with the skid steer all day long your prediction before we start which one's gonna dominate comment down below and what are we waiting for do this thing [Music] [Applause] it's what we're looking at I call this equipment that is just a sick gorgeous beautiful mouth-watering shot if I've ever seen one just cat a sv cat lowboy trailer we're talking about a quarter million dollars worth of gear between that truck and those three pieces you're sitting right there yeah that is awesome [Music] alright guys we got a cat 305 five mini-excavator we're going to do a compare and contrast to get it against the cap 289 the both are fairly well the industry we're going to actually be doing is a comparison of how they function to a normal day-to-day job just this kind of stuff that you guys are going to encounter on different job sites we're going to attempt to duplicate and show you how each machine either succeed or fail the comparison dealer with a lot of guys want to know when they're out making their first purchase decision which is better a mini excavator or skid loader we're going to try to cover that today first thing that we're going to be doing is going to a 30-foot trench for a retaining wall any kind of footing that you can envision we're actually going to be doing we're going to try to dig 18 inches deep a just think we are eyeballing it's just the video eighteen inches 18 inches that's a realistic number so if you diggin if you're building a retaining wall that gives you six inches of material plus one foot of buried kebab block so for this first one I set out two steaks and I wanted to see which machine could do a better job not just a faster job but just an overall better job and you're going to see how each machine left their jobsite [Music] alright…
