your battery over there you know what i've seen was really cool on that uh mustang skid loader is it actually just had a little clip and then the whole radiator slides off wow yeah that was really neat dude you know who's really got it dialed in is whacker runs off a kohler engine but you can crawl inside the actual engine compartment of a whacker really i'm not joking like when you open it up you can you could probably crawl in there and close it behind you there's that much room it's crazy i didn't even know they made a skid loader so let's load it up and bring it down to the yard and uh let's get the yard graded out what's so difficult about backing it on to the trailer it's the width of the bucket oh the hydro bucket i didn't even know it fit on there got that much room on either side of it really yeah yeah it's tight i mean it's it's i didn't even i've never got it to be able to fit into there i don't know it's just like the back little edge that catches on it too but we'll find out see we got that much space on that side and no space on that side so i could have like i can get it uh crap i should have cleaned the dirt out of the bottom ah we're good we're good we're not going that far i could have grabbed one of them for you alex i was gonna say oh you do the gym wasn't enough for you this morning a little more doesn't hurt all right uh i think what we want is something closer to this for rock today because we're not working tonight yeah do they have anything like that where'd you get that from the trap yeah there's plenty here that's what we want right there that's exactly what we want is more of that we can use that to fill in some of the larger spaces some of the the holes and stuff yep and we got some so there's even some like along the edge right there there's probably two bucket fulls kind of banked up along this uh bucket here you know of just kind of we use that for the holes the the the smooshy spots but yeah if we can get some class 5 i know it's not ideal conditions but if we can get some class 5 in here and get it all fine-tuned but i'd rather get more of that i mean i wouldn't mind having a good just one to two inches we don't need a lot right we don't need no four inches because then you can't walk on it or use it because it rolls under your feet but just enough that we can firm up the soft bottom does that look like anything fenders are too rusty it looks just like ours does that not look exactly like ours yeah it just looks a lot rustier though dude ours was a pile i know it was a pile but that's like rusty rusty gosh i mean i jump over and check the numbers on it to me it just doesn't look right and even where the chains are attached there i guess i don't know it just doesn't look the same oh you know him no i don't know but i've seen him around for a long time oh okay i don't know how he is [Music] oh yeah that's awesome yeah well we gotta get at that rock so i think the caulked him i did but he's probably in a meeting so we'll move this trailer and we can squeeze in this way and probably not even worry about moving the truck at that point then maybe not going down the road we only got to get it out of here rock doesn't go as far as you think it would you guys he just never dies this we want to keep out of the parking area because you get caught between the dualies on the trucks if you ever had one of them rocks jam up between your dualies you know that's not a fun day what a big cab damn these doors yeah that's nice i got it the lying story short as i'm going forward and backward i'm not using a laser because i'm actually just feeling which way the ground is going like this i can literally feel everything [Music] so [Music] it's twenty-five dollars oh okay that's a yeah that's a little bit of a jump 440 versus 100 a trailer yeah feeling oh man i think materials are going to be really expensive this year i can't tell you how old i am half the time but i can tell you the name i can tell you the telephone number to every pit off the top of my head let's see if that's true though hey you guys got class five you're selling yet all right [Music] i thought 10 was too good to be true you guys i thought 10 was too good to be true but we'll make this all right guys well that's it for today's video this is a three parter and i'm going to release them back to back to back so that way you guys don't have to wait very long for the grand finale which is coming tomorrow and we switch things up we've been we bring in our big power rake and we put that to work on the lot pretty cool
