So ive been a member for quite a while and had a thread several years ago titled “new guy work pics”.. figured id start a new thread with some more pics of some jobs i have been on. We are a small outfit and do pretty much everything except utilities as of right now. We also branched out into grain farming slow but sure 7 years ago with a 120 acres of farm ground, and now we are around 800 of corn and soybeans.. my father in law is the owner and ive been with him for 11 years now, and things are progressing nicely. We have one other kid that is full time and is great help for a 21 year old.
Here is some digging we did for a new 53’x120’ post frame building that was being built on a concrete foundation, i think they were 4’ walls. We dug for the footings, backfilled and compacted with lime screenings once the walls ready, and rough graded it out for the concrete guys. We dont own a roller so we rented one from Cat rental, it was brand new and a nice roller. We used our 50G and hoe pack to compact close to the walls in several lifts where it was the deepest.
This job was right down the road from our shop so i grabbed the 544j and decided to use it to help blow some dirt around while the inside was being rolled in.. the back portion of the building was to be partitioned off and framed in with living quarters so thats the section that we hadn't quite got to yet on the backfill. This was gonna be quite a shop/party barn seemed like to me!
These chickens drove us crazy the whole job, always in the way! I used the 50 to grade out the last few inches with the light on the blade frame. Worked pretty slick, this was a test pass lol
