I usually don't want to tell people what my opinion would be on their projects, but you might want to find a used rock crusher to make gravel for your road. A nice jaw crusher would be helpful in your endeavors. I don't think a cone crusher would be needed. Jaw crushers of a smaller size take less horsepower to run and maybe RKie can run it off his PTO. Just a thought; especially at the price of haulage now days.. And maybe the house site should be named "Camp Gumbo" during the rainy season.

I think those mini excavators have a minimum 10 psi over your Takeuchi. I was looking at the specs on a John Deere 50g (way more expensive than I can afford) and they've got like 30psi which I'm sure makes a big difference. I expect to need a breaker hammer for my skidder whenever I find land and this was a great demonstration to set my expectations. In any case, I'm sure that hammer is far less work than trying to dig, winch, and jack hammer by hand those giant boulders. Like everyone else following you, I'm excited for your videos. You two are doing awesome!!

Glad to see you got hooked up with the hydraulic skid steer breaker. Usually best to point the breaker straight down at a 90° angle. Believe me Jon, if you had very many zerks to grease you would want a battery powered grease gun! Also a Saker grease gun coupler is great for ensuring you never loose grease because you don’t have the gun attached perfectly straight on. Really enjoy your videos and your never give up attitude!!

Hi Guys, You got quite a bit of rock out of the way with the hammer. Also, breaking it up like you did will make it more useful and less work for driveways. With regard to your concrete footing over rock question, this is complicated and why structural engineers have jobs. Concrete is inherently very strong in compression, but will crack when in tension. For this reason, steel reinforcing is added to concrete to provide the tensile quality. To be effective, the reinforcing steel should be situated close to the surface of the concrete beam (Not too close or it will corrode and break out of the beam - usually 2" is specified). When a force is applied to a beam to deflect it, the concrete between the top and bottom (or side to side) reinforcing rods holds them apart (via the concrete's compressive quality), AND the longitudinal reinforcing steel's tensile strength resists the stretching action on one side (or top or bottom) of the beam. The transverse steel reinforcing also plays apart in holding the concrete beam together and helps resist sheer forces. So what does that mean with regard to footings? To better understand this, imagine your footings as beams in the air supported by columns at various intervals. The columns represent point loads of your foundation material. (Note, this stuff moves over time.) You will obviously want your hanging beam to be uniform in size for the entire length of the span between the columns, otherwise, you will have a weak spot at the narrowest part of the beam. Now let's put the footing back in the ground, and let's say you have that thin part of the beam on a rock. You can almost guarantee your footing will crack at that spot. Best results are obtained when footings "float" on their foundations, where point loads (on rocks etc) are not present. I would recommend not pouring footings directly onto the rock in your site. Rather, dig the rock out deeper and cover with sand or other suitable non-solid material. Talk to a structural engineer. I hope this helps. Cheers, EJ
@elliejackson6907
Жыл бұрын
Part 2. If you can't avoid a number of point loads presented by rock under your footings, you may need to pier down to rock at intervals for your entire footing. These piers would be equivalent to the columns in the imagined above ground footing structure mentioned above. Again, talk to a structural engineer. They will advise the best path. Some situations may require increasing the size and/or quantity of the reinforcing steel in the concrete footing Cheers, EJ.

The newer Takeuchi's do have the pressure release valve, can still be a pain though. Your machine has a sequence for relieving the pressure on the skid side, but that doesn't help with attachments. For attachments you can usually give it a little whack with a hammer and large punch or other that opens connector and let's any pressure out. Wear eye protection if ever trying that method
@RobertJLessard

I'm sure it depends on the rock type but I've dug down to bedrock which is shallow where I live and bolted to that for foundation. Common to do that here on footers. That rock layer is known to be 2 to 5 miles deep though so it's quite the natural foundation and it's not going anywhere. My grandfather told me in the old days farmers were allowed to buy and use dynamite on their land. Those were the days.

If they even come up that mountain ,Leave a case of beer at the bottom of the entrance on inspection day and a note saying .we will be back at 5pm If the beer is gone your all set. lol Just kidding , Not I honestly wonder how any big trucks should you ever need them gets up to your house site.

Do you have the same machine as me? My auxiliary hydraulics are a foot pedal. Primary is push, secondary is heel. The hammer runs on the secondary flow direction (like if you were opening a grapple). If detent mode is on, orange light on, the left joystick button should keep it on when you press it until you press it again to turn it off. As far as the green light, that's one direction flow which should be on.
