Piling Brush with Cat 308 and Rhinox Rake Riddle Bucket
In addition to loading out the Black Knight with the Rake Riddle Bucket, I scratch up the brush and slash into piles to be hauled out later. I like this bucket. I don't accidentally dig into the ground when using this bucket. And, it is easier to grade and scratch.

I had to repost this after I realized that I didn't include all the footage the previous video. I've had this Rhinox Rake Riddle Bucket for about a month now. I got it to complete this project. It is a great tool for cleaning, grading, and prepping after a clearing and grubbing job.

Building Sides for my 1984 GMC Brigadier Flatbed Truck - the 'Deputy Commander'

Continuing on with the refurbishment and upgrades to the Deputy Commander, I add a few more boards for the sides of the bed. The stakes are 2x4s and the walls are 2x10x16 pressure treated boards. I install 5 boards on each side. The bed was cut short, so I will need to cut about a foot off the end of each board when I add the doors. Come on back for that video!

I split this job into 2 videos. This is part 1. I was finally able to the Cat 308 and brush cutter to the house. It was a rainy day, but I had put this chore off long enough. For the most part, I could stay on the pavement anyway. Even though a blade came off again, the EXRC54 did ok. It is definitely not an industrial-grade implement, but it does good for estate owners and farmers. I was able ...

While testing the brushcutter after installing it for the first time on my excavator, I hit a metal stake and a large boulder hidden in the tall grass. I found a replacement pair on ebay.

Starting a Caterpiller 3406E after sitting in cold temperatures for a couple days
Переглядів 1,8 тис.7 місяців тому
The Black Knight was a little ornery this morning. My goal today was to haul my D4H dozer to the repair shop. However, the starter solenoid went out on me. It started fine a couple days earlier. Therefore, this video was shortened to just cold starting my truck. I am going to have to replace the starter on the dozer. I know that it is not mid-west or northeast cold, but 16 degrees is 16 degrees!

My buddy is building a silage pit. He's going to link it with rejected concrete panels. In this video, I take the Black Knight to the concrete facility and pick up one of the panels. The panels only weigh about 7.5 tons. But, they are large and hard to handle without the right equipment.

In order to make room for a silage pit, my buddy tasked me with shifting a pile of gravel and stones about 5-10 feet. I initially started using 'Big Alice', my Fiat-Allis 545B.

Do you know what they recommend filling the gearbox with? Mine came with a grease fitting but I’ve been told to fill it with gear oil?
I was looking for the spot to add gear oil to mine too, when I first got it. However, these excavator mounted mowers are direct drive. Therefore, no gear oil required. Just make sure your bearings stay lubed.
@@hawksnest874there’s a grease zerk fitting below the hydraulic pump but in my brush mower for the bobcat they said to take out the grease zerk and pour gear oil into the gearbox so I wasn’t sure because the excavator mower came with a grease zerk as well
@@jamesbagos3459 Ok. That's the first I heard of that. But grease and lube oil doesn't make sense to me. I am not familiar with the skidsteer mounted brush cutters though. In any event, 80w-90 Gear oil should be fine.
i took blades of mine put 6 links of 3/16 chain instead have not had a single problem since... the blades are junk
[youre, bull dozer looks great] 👍
Thanks
[youre, welcome]
[thank, you for youre video.👍 i, just bought a 2002, 939c cat track loader bull dozer with a 4&1 bucket. just had new tracks new rollers new sprockets new chains new batterys for $40k] im. happy blessed.👍
[thank, you for youre great helpful video]👍
[sorry, that the track came off of the track loader. thank, you for you're helpful video.👍 I, just bought a 2002, 939c cat track loader with a 4&1 bucket for 40k.]
Take no notice of the negative comments I have two 953’s and have been operating track shovels all my working life, started on b100 internationals cat 951’s 955’s then on to the 953’s d6’s etc etc . We use them in the uk for final trimming roads motorways airport taxiway work and run a 4in 1 bucket for this. When I started I never thought I’d ever be able to level anything and had negative comments from certain people which made me more determined to crack it but I did and have been doing fine levelling for years, track shovels are one of the most versatile machines out there being able to do clearance demo load lorries grading and most things in between,the reason there not popular is there not easy to drive and not many can properly, you’re doing great taking it easy ,by the way that’s lovely looking 963 look after it.
Thanks!
I use the same hand signals for the loader. Nice vid.
Cool, thanks!
So, looking at getting one of these Agrotk cutters for my case 80. You recommend them?
It’s a decent Olmert. Tighten all the bolts and fittings. As the bolts break or come loose replace with grade 8 nuts and bolts
Question. It seems the rubber seals are facing eachother. Shouldn't the red seal be turned 180° so that the tractor's brakelines use gravity to lock in place? Does it matter? My seals are facing eachother and I was told it's incorrect
I think there was a time when the glad hands were direct opposite of each other. Now, I don’t think it matters due to the color coding . There’s a small knob and fender which locks the couplings in place.
nice channel look into a brush cutter from rut manufacturing they are good quality but not outrageously priced. these china brushcutters r junk ive seen multiple vids of them flying apart now
I’ll look into them. These are ok for residential and estate maintenance. But, are not up to par for commercial and heavy duty use.
12 tons.?
Y cómo se arma ese riñón
Thanks for the video. Man you gots ta pick up the pace a little bit.
Good video, Sir. I really like the new Rake !!! Have you used it for doing any ditching ? your Friend from Michigan !!!!
diggerdave, I actually used is today to clean out the ditching running through this yard. Worked perfect. Cleaned out all the debris without compromising the walls or digging the ditch any deeper.
Really like that root rake on that 308 cat. Looks like you'll be at this dite for a couple of days. Great job sir!💯💥👍🏿
I already been there a couple weeks!! But, I should be out of there next week :-) Thanks!
How much will you charge to put mines on?
Where you located?
This is a good truck. Does it have a Cat engine under the hood?
Yes. It has a Cat 3208
Looks Great!!
best thing i did for mine was just installed 5/8 chain 8 links. just cleered 7 acres of bamboo/weeds/1 inch trees no problems worked great and was 14 dollars for piece of chain. there was alot big rocks and kept breaking blades..chain solved it will never go back to blades
I’ll give that a shot. Thanks!
i had to shorten blades on mine 1/4 inch. they get loos and get caotured on main nut. shorting the solved it
I’ll consider doing that. Thanks!
@@HammaDownEnterprises just swaped to 5/8 chain,,, best thing ever done to mine.. i used 16mm bolts from hardware store 8 or 9 links works great
i have one of these brush cutter did a fewe mods works great
Awesome
Thanks👍😁
No seize paste on those mounting bolts.
That’s all going to change next week. I’m also going to upgrade to grade 8 bolts. They all worked loose after a couple hours of heavy cutting
Always cut your steel at joint to have longer pieces of scrap steel. Never know when you can reuse them.
I’ll keep that in mind for the next one . Thanks!
I couldn't find mowers to fit my 303.5 until Mongo. Have a flail coming. We shall see.
Ive got the same truck except its a tandem , 8V92 non turbo, she gets the job done havent driven er in a while though
Some guy i know is selling one for 10k has a big cam engine. Debating wether i should or not. Its a tandem so im kinda needing one just dont know how it would pull 10 tons
Hit the target every time!
can you share the link for the eBay ad
www.ebay.com/itm/394905357726. This link should work.
Have you changed Coolant on this 3208 before? I’m looking for the Coolant capacity, I’ve put in 7 & 1/2 gallons of coolant thus far and still have no coolant in the expansion tank. I have the same year, make and model truck. I just changed out the injection pump for a new ish one because it would not function.
No, I have not done a complete flush of the coolant system yet. 10-12 gallons wouldn't surprise me. My research shows 12-15 gallons, depending on the configuration and application.
@@HammaDownEnterprises Thank you for the input I appreciate it. 👍
@@yellowblackcaterpillarjack5538 Sure thing and any time!
A good old gmc
i have the same excavator and brushcutter, my cutter keeps dying after about ten seconds on . any tips would help ? thank u
Make sure your valve in the battery/radiator compartment is in the one-way flow position. ua-cam.com/video/16gVNcf0Bdk/v-deo.htmlsi=J6fl-BfFWspQ3ldd. It may be in a different location than the one shown in the video. If it is the same as mine, it’ll right in front of you between the hydraulic reservoir and manifold when you open the door.
I saw somebody else buy one of those brush hogs for an excavator at an auction but made in China type of deals. The one they bought kept doing the same thing with the blades breaking off so they bought some shoulder bolts for a regular bush hog that would fit in there and some blades for it too (their blades both broke at the bolt hole). It seemed to run fine after that. Might work for you too.
Thanks for the recommendation. When was in tractor supply looking for the washers, I checked out the bushhog components to see if they had something that would fit. I did not see anything there, but I'll keep looking. Again, thanks!
Bro is that Daniel Cormier
Oh yeah I think those are play grade 5 bolts if I'm not mistaken grade 8 or higher usually does the trick. had that problem on a couple things of my on.
Nice job cleaning up!
Thanks Mr. Shaw!!
There is a port that says control on it. What does it do ?
Not sure. But, the control valve should be activated by the brake pedal, brake lever, and/or air release button on the dash. However, I haven't found a schematic to confirm.
Sweet
I took my CDL test in one of them in 1992 what a ball buster
My left tail only flash one turn signal bulb but the other two stay solid, red … break lights work but my reverse doesn’t work either
Trace your wires to make sure that your turn signal wire going to the turn signal wire coming off the truck and most importantly, you have it grounded correctly.
make sure that the reverse switch on top of the transmission hasn't gone bad. Again, make sure you have the wires coming off the lights connected to the correct wires coming off the truck.
I think you can get a lot of work with the brushcutter. Probably more than you can handle. Good luck with it.
We’ll see. I’ll keep my fingers crossed 🤞🏾 …thanks!
Can't wait to see how it goes with the new brush cutter in action.
I am 73 bro, you sadly are your own worst enemy, this is an hour and a half job max, Ooty, you had it the first time round, if you had just stood back and look at the problem, your which block was on the wrong grouses, use a wooden post,on the idling wheel, and push it back with the bucket, job done.
I was just thinking the same thing. And take some wood. Use the bucket raise the front of the machine. Stick a 6x6 or 8x8 under middle of track. Let it teder foward. And stick wood under the back of the machine. Raise front back up with bucket. And track and frame is off the ground. Never used a jack of any kind on a dozer. The machine will jack its self up.
Damn!! this guy is good, he is a true film maker...I feel like I'm right next to the bucket.....holy shit that's impressive....you cold even se the wear in the bucket that's how close he put's the camera
I got plenty for you to do down here. You can brush cut around the whole lake. How's Sgt . Green Hulk is doing behind you. Were you ever able to figure out what was going on with the transmission?
Hopefully, I ll get a new transmission swapped in the within the next couple of weeks.
id notch all those covers where the grease fittings are and then make a plate that held on with a bolt to cover those spots to keep the junk out
if you need a place to try it out you can bring it out to the farm got lot of over grown brush and tress you can use it on just watch out for the rocks
You don’t have any other trailer to put your cat 308 on to bring it home that’s crazy because every trucker I know has at least more than one lowboy in their fleet of trailers and they also have spare tires on hand as well maybe you should look into replacing all the tires on your lowboy trailer before using it again because if one tire goes flat they’ll all go flat
