I have discovered that while I enjoy your content, I stay for your personality and can-do attitude! Your dry sense of humor, your ability to explain what you are doing and why, and even your admission of "this is the first time I've ever tried this"... and yet you put it out here so that we can see how well you do! Keep up the good work!

put the boom in float and use the curl to adjust the depth of cut, you want it to ride on the front castor wheels. run the drum rotation against the direction of travel, that way you get a big mass of material moving with you that will fill in and level all the low spots.

If you're ever after welding any component on a cylinder, try hanging the rest of the cylinder in a bucket of water to keep the heat away from any seals or distorting areas on the cylinder. Not always necessary, but could save a fella some extra work in some instances
-
Matt I just want to say that I give you a lot of respect for showing everyone your thought process, you're learning process and even your mistakes. There's so much that can be learned from the entire experience that most people just edit out. I love your content please keep it coming
-
I just want to say, you have some of the best intros on all of YouTube
-
Make sure you clean your gear off when you load out; You don't want even a little bit of that Knotweed coming home with you. From what I understand it will root and grow from even little cuttings, and it can grow right through concrete pads and masonry walls.
-
I've found that a float function really helps keep it from gouging too deep. But best advice from me is just experimenting and a good steady hand for when the terrain changes. Keep up the good work!
-
When you decided to leave the pin in there,I could hear Derek from Vice Grip Garage saying,"I'm gonna do the right thing and just pretend I didn't see that." You did a great job with that rake.

You Matt are the interpretation of the saying "I don't know what I'm doing but I'm sure as hell going to try my best"

After about 30 years in the construction industry I would have to say that the one accessory that has impressed me the most is the power rake. Nothing I’ve ever used will turn a lumpy site into a smooth finish faster than the power rake. You will never regret that purchase!
-
Being able to acquire the funds to purchase a heavy duty machine just got way easy, with the right steps followed, I bet you in less than 2 months.
-
Thinking a Couple good loads of Gravel would be a good idea too. Spread it over the low spots in the middle where pot holes were, and perhaps bit up front. but that could wait until end of project.
-
Thank you for thinking of us, Matt, and sharing a video of this project!
-
Ah another quality Kroil Creek repair.
-
Loved the line, “ Grinder and paint makes me the welder I ain’t.” That’s me I struggle with my wire feed learned on a stick years ago.
-
That is a really cool attachment! Amazing that it did what it did! I can see it being useful for so many things.
-
If you can, bring us back after a couple of good soaking rains so we can see how that helps (or at least, affected) the gravel after the power rake
-
Not too long ago, local business' would donate time and $$ to get these community projects done. Now corporations don't, because they spend their $$ and time on advertising telling everyone how good spirited and community minded they are. Well done Matt, your community needs you.
-
I really enjoy your videos quite a bit. Watching you run the equipment, you're like a surgeon! Even when you're not sure of what your doing you still do an amazing job! Thanks Matt! Can't wait till the next one!!
-
Great seeing you again Matt. Think all in all, you did a great job on the Phase two on that parking lot, and the attachment worked really well, and did what it needed to do. Waiting to see Phase three when you can take out those now very dead trees..thanks for sharing.
