When you say concrete do you mean LSM or some other type of digable concrete like lean fill or do you mean something like class C concrete.

I am not familiar with the term "bad grind"?

Nice work, that's a very clean excavation.

Looks like you had some asphalt and base to dig through among other things, just didn't know if there was something else.:D

My bad cm I didn't look at the pics that close and see the rock. On my phone it looks like I seen a little snow in the background and just assume it was frozen topsoil, but I believe your right.

Great looking excavations you've posted. Really clean and straight. I really like the finish that bucket does with style and amount of teeth. I've never used a bucket like that before but it sure does a good job.

Thanks fastdirt man i really appreciate the words follow you're thread and really enjoy your work as well. Both of us have 312s and louisville ford six Wheelers haha. Ill post done more pics of the bucket. Those are esco teeth off a 160. Its a cat bucket but i hated the spacing on the cat teeth so far apart. So i called the radio dealer ordered shanks and teeth took it to my welder bud and had him changed it over. Its a 48" bucket fyi

Nice demo. Those old timbers can bring big $$ to the right people.

Are you taking down the silo too?
