Tim and his shovel....boy he makes that thing work! I remember one time when I was in the Army Engineers (Australia) and the sergeant dropped us of at a point where we had to dig some forward trenches and armed us up with a few shovels. Well he came back about an hour later and saw that we had not done anything and began yelling and cursing at us all about why we hadn't done anything. We said to him " sarge, we couldn't find the pull starts on the shovels..." he cursed at us and then realised our predicament and said, " just go get the machines and get it done!" Ok sarge, no problem!!!

@@RockBrigadeCommunityForum I wonder if the excavators or skid steer is harder on the back? We hear stories about how skid steers beat you up, but we have seen the excavators knock Chris about, and not just the mini! Pulling on tree roots that don't want to let go, so the excavator gets lifted up and then crashes back down again. Do the seats have suspension? We had air suspension on our farm tractors, but my dad myself and brothers all have wrecked backs decades later.

Definitely could use a vibraplate attachment for the Yanmar. Easily one of the most effective time savers for the money. No dicking around with jumping jacks once you get above the pipe. Easy 95% RC or better with agg base. Jumping Jacks take 3-5 passes to get similar compaction. Saves a lot of labor and no worries about settlement

"It surprised me how thin the road bed was above the clay." Yeah, one of the big underlying issues with our modern world is the fact that lots of our basic infrastructure was designed decades if not centuries ago. Why are roads only twelve feet wide? Why are road bearing capacities so small? We could massively increase the ability to move large infrastructure if we'd simply rebuild all our roads to carry more weight. But it seems like once that habit gets set, that we only do the bare minimum to 'get by', just repeating what we once did ad-infinitum. We can do better nowadays. Why don't we?
