What happens here

The Bobcat mini excavator begins to break apart sections of the existing sidewalk and remove the underlying soil and blocks, effectively creating a trench. Following this, a larger Daewoo 75V excavator equipped with a hydraulic clamp/grapple attachment takes over the demolition. This powerful attachment is used to systematically lift and place the remaining retaining wall blocks, along with dirt and other debris, directly into the bucket of the Kubota compact wheel loader. This method emphasizes the efficiency of using heavy machinery for extensive block removal and earthmoving.

Goal: Efficiently demolish the retaining wall and clear debris using excavators and a loader.

work when do you rotate a piece of equipment out of service do you have a rule of thumb that you guys use to determine it's time for this thing to go or is every piece of equipment tread individually let me know how you guys do it this Bobcat excavator has been an absolutely phenomenal piece of equipment for us I think it was paid off about 11 or 12 years ago and so it's kind of like having a free piece of equipment but you're going to see what happens when they get old they start breaking down and sometimes they break down in the absolute worst possible locations and today is no exception for that and it's it's not the fact that it's just the cost of the repairs but as soon as that piece of equipment breaks down it's stalling out our project it's stalling out the work of our main guys it's stalling out all of the important elements that need to happen on a job to keep our customers happy to keep our our company profitable and when our company's profitable then our guys are profitable so I'm kind of on the fence do you guys think I should get rid of this piece of equipment or do I keep limping along with it or what would you guys do with this thing after you're done watching this video let me know but I'm going to show you exactly what happens with this Bobcat excavator in just a few moments
