Spreading out some “dirt”, (mostly sod) along a new driveway. This machine could handle a larger grading beam no problem. I’m spreading it out, will hit it with a tiller, and regrade. Should turn out great! @steelwrist_official @steelwrist_northamerica @mecalac @qdigitmachinery #tiltrotator #sod #dirt #driveway #ellensburg #kittitas #kittitascounty #construction #earthmoving #dirtwork #soil #gravel #duck #wheeledexcavator #mecalac #tiltywizard #gradebeam #satisfying #satisfyingvideos #friday #pnw #pnwonderland #pnwconstruction #pnwcontractors

First #gopro Mecalac video. Although this isn’t an ideal job to try to learn this thing, it’s working out. I would have much rather not been on a hilly, slick, muddy site, but here we are. Between the @steelwrist_official X12, and all the functions the @mecalac 9MWR has, plus joystick roller steering from Steelwrist, it’s a pretty busy place to sit. Feet, hands, fingers, brain, all busy 😂 I’ll get er figured out, more videos to come! #wheels #mud #duck #americanduck #imlovinit #challange #steelwrist #steelwristambassador #mecalac9mwr #mecalac #pnwonderland #washed #rock #drainage

Snowed a ton here last night, out doing a bit of snow removal. I love the snow, the tractor powers this blower pretty damn good. Only taking a half pass because I wasn’t in there steering. #safety #snowremoval #snowday #lovesnow #newholland #tractordriver #tractor #pnwsnow #ellensburg #kittitascounty

Have a customer trying out an @abi.attachments SR3 rake on his JCB 2TS-7T. This was about 10 minutes after we hooked it up. He likes it and I was impressed as well. Follow @luke_pacificjcb_steelwrist for vids of the equipment we sell in action. I have been super busy with the new job and I’m hoping to begin posting more videos here soon.👍🏻

I’ve been a busy guy these days, and am excited to announce that I have decided to take a job working for @pacificjcb. Starting from being one of their first customers, I have gotten to know the folks here, have had nothing but great experiences, and after being invited to join the team multiple times, have decided to step back from full time excavating. I have been doing construction since 2000, self employed since 2006, and it’s time to try something new. Any Steelwrist questions, JCB questions, general attachment questions, don’t hesitate DM me. We sell JCB locally, but attachment sales including Steelwrist can be done nationwide. There is some more exciting stuff we are doing in the near future, but I won’t spill the beans on all of it now😂 Wish me luck!!!

Found a new use for the broom. I’m having to dig up these utilities because they were incorrectly put in under the house foundation footprint. The power and gas are live, I don’t know/care much about the telco. The plan is to try to flex them over out of the footprint, I have my doubts on that plan, we will see. Broom works great for exposing these, no shovel needed👍🏻. @steelwrist_official @steelwrist_northamerica @pacificjcb @pacific_steelwrist @jcbna #innovation #newideas #tiltrotator #steelwrist #tilty #broom #sweeper #utilities #power #gas #naturalgas #communication #telco #development #oops #fail #sand #sunshine #excavator #utility @titanattachments #easy #noshovel

Rebuilding a dealer that had some utilities ran through it. @steelwrist_official work for sure, the site is pure sand so it really shows every imperfection. Kinda frustrating, happy Wednesday! My new secret weapon is helping immensely👍🏻 @steelwrist_northamerica @pacificjcb @pacific_steelwrist @jcbna #tiltrotator #swale #drainage #stormwater #sand #tilty #steelwrist #jcb #excavator #grading #slope #townhouse #gradecontrol #2d #moba #engineering #wednesday #snohomishcounty #newthingscoming

Doing some cleanup along the edges of the road with the @steelwrist_official grading beam. The temp asphalt is only 2” thick so it needs all the help it can get. More cleanup tomorrow👍🏻. @pacificjcb @steelwrist_northamerica @pacific_steelwrist #cleanup #grading #excavatoroperator #equipmentandcontracting #selfemployed #excavator #asphalt #construction #attachment #jcb #steelwrist #tilty #tiltrotator #tiltrotators

I have gotten a handful of questions about being able to remove the @steelwrist_official for trenching, here’s my thought, if you’re productively digging trenches that are more than 3’ deep you’re going to get a bigger machine, anything more than 4’ deep requires either shoring or sides that slope back. Any way you go a tiltrotator will work fine fitting in the trench, the occasional time I dig more than 4’ deep for something It’s pretty easy to remove a bit of dirt and fit down in there. My X06 will fit into an 18” wide trench, barely, a 24” wide trench would be roomy. Also this Cb3c bucket allows me to get to 3’ deep and not have a ton of spoils to deal with, in this case a 2” conduit and a 1 1/2” water line will fit just fine, the amount of dirt I have to move on this 1000 ft trench is a lot less. Less to dig, less to backfill, less cleanup, etc. No comments on the snake like direction on my trench either 😂

Grading beam for the win again. No real way to grade this with anything on tires, 6” of clean crushed rock on pure sand. It’s wheel hop city. Wish me luck I have a ton to get done before tomorrow! @steelwrist_official @steelwrist_northamerica @pacificjcb @jcbna @pacific_steelwrist #tiltrotator #road #roadgrading #grading #gradingbeam #tilty #steelwrist #crushed #wednesday #paving #pavementprep #asphaltpaving

Grading beam! My favorite attachment, when I get to use this I’m pretty happy. The site is all sand and is getting prepped for porous asphalt. A temp pave with standard asphalt will be done and ripped out after construction. There is just no feasible way to keep it clean during the construction process. Have about 800 ton of rock coming next week, so more grading vids will follow 👍🏻. @steelwrist_official @pacificjcb @pacific_steelwrist @steelwrist_northamerica @jcbna #tilty #tiltrotator #grading #porousasphalt #asphaltprep #pavingprep #gradingbeam #earthmovingefficiency #steelwrist #sand #showseveryimperfection #jcb #excavation #contractorsofinsta #contractor #tiltywizard #wishtherewasntasmanycatchbasinsintheway #excavator #pnw #attachment #excavatorattachments

Some @steelwrist_official sorting bucket work. Moving the construction entrance over to make room for the new sidewalk. Perfect tool for the job👍🏻. @steelwrist_northamerica @pacific_steelwrist @pacificjcb @jcbna #sortingbucket #screen #attachment #tilty #earthmovingefficiency #steelwrist #tiltrotator #pnw #tiltywizard #excavator #friday #snohomishcounty #lynnwood #washington #construction #contractor #equipment

@justin_wilson_pacificjcbsales stopped by to drop something off today and grabbed a little video so I thought I’d share. Thanks for coming out, It’s great to know I can rely on you guys 👊🏻 @pacificjcb @justin_wilson_pacificjcbsales @pacific_steelwrist @aaron_fruge_jcb_steelwrist #steelwrist #jcb #dealership #dealer #quality #equipment

2 JCB minis on site this week. We’re backfilling an underground water storage tank. Clean crushed rock up against the tank and sand, the native soil beyond that.

Clearing the way for a new cell tower to be built. Was supposed to dig the foundation next week but things changed so on to another job for awhile. The @steelwrist_official ripper worked great to get the bigger stumps out. Used a @bluestarwelding bucket off my old excavator for most of it. Have a good weekend!! @pacificjcb @pacific_steelwrist @steelwrist_northamerica @jcbna #clearing #landclearing #brush #tree #trees #thursday #tilty #earthmovingefficiency #tiltywizard #nothumb #stump #whiteriver #piercecounty #logging #pnw #cellular #telecom #tower #newbuild #rock

Cleaning up a little parking lot. Got my broom and dustpan out for the job, worked great. The parking lot was used for a staging area for 5/8” minis rock, and it was everywhere. If you think you coulda done it by hand faster don’t even bother to comment, you couldn’t 😆. @pacificjcb @pacific_steelwrist @titanattachments @steelwrist_northamerica @steelwrist_official @steelwrist_au_nz #broom #cleanup #mess #wednesday #humpday #duvall #gravel #aggregate #dumptrailer #maxxd #ram #steelwrist #tilty #efficient #easy #worksmarternotharder #earthmovingefficiency #landscape #clouds

Short time lapse of cleaning up on my way back to the road after removing fence. Now just gotta clean all my piles of fence up👍🏻👍🏻

Removing some silt fence in preparation for the final fencing and landscaping. Don’t get to use the grapple that often, but every time I do I am reminded how much better it is than a thumb. Trying my best to be as low impact to the ground as possible. In the soft areas I’m wadding up plastic and tracking on that to try to keep my tracks clean. This job is really sensitive to rain and it’s looking like it’s coming, so I figure I’m almost done for the day👍🏻. @pacificjcb @pacific_steelwrist @steelwrist_official @steelwrist_northamerica @steelwrist_au_nz #clearing #demo #fencing #fence #erosion #pnw #washington #steelwrist #excavator #miniexcavator #jcb #tilty #tiltywizard #tiltrotator #48z #duvallwa #snoqualmievalley #wetlands #siltfence

Adding some rock to the subgrade for a new walk path. Steelwrist for the win again! Happy Friday everyone have a great weekend!

Little end of the day cleanup. So glad I have the @steelwrist and this #broom. 👍🏻. #tiltrotator #sweeper #easy #wednesday #mud #humpday🐪 #excavator #trackhoe #broom #efficient #efficiency #clay
