Boxing out an excavation for a sewer pump station wet well and the power and balance of the 210 really shines. Pulling heavy clay from a pit has its challenges but the precision these machines have make it a little easier. We love our reduced tail swing machines but it certainly helps to have some counterweight hanging out in certain situations. #ad #DigginDeere #KZConstruction #engcon #deere #neveridle #deeresighting #heavyequipment #heavyequipmentnation #heavyequipmentoperator #heavyequipmentlife #dirtgang #dirtgearco #bluecollarcollective #sitework #topcon

Got to spend a little time with the screening bucket from @adequipment and this thing has a lot of potential! Runs through sticky topsoil with no problem. This was set up on our John Deere 75P with Engcon tiltrotator but I’d really like to see what their biggest unit could do on the 245. #KZConstruction #engcon #deere #neveridle #deeresighting #heavyequipment #heavyequipmentnation #heavyequipmentoperator #heavyequipmentlife #dirtgang #dirtgearco #bluecollarcollective #sitework #topcon

A 460P pulling a 3812 scraper which is getting pushed by a 1050P dozer, those are the kind of numbers a dirt nerd likes. 38 cubic yards picked up in 50 seconds, that will do something for your daily yardage totals. Our ground doesn’t allow for scrapers very often but man do I love them. #KZConstruction #DigginDeere #deere #neveridle #deeresighting #heavyequipment #heavyequipmentnation #heavyequipmentoperator #heavyequipmentlife #dirtgang #dirtgearco #bluecollarcollective #sitework #topcon

A rainy St. Paddy’s Day in East TN but we’re making the best of it. #KZConstruction #engcon #deere #neveridle #deeresighting #heavyequipment #heavyequipmentnation #heavyequipmentoperator #heavyequipmentlife #dirtgang #dirtgearco #bluecollarcollective #sitework #topcon

I got to spend a little time in Sacaton in the new John Deere 850X-Tier EDrive and this thing is a beast. It uses a diesel engine to power an inverter to drive electric motors like a locomotive. So basically instant torque on demand and full power to both tracks during turns. I buried the 3 shank ripper to the hub and it barely grunted. I need @mccoyconstructionforestry to get one in the rental fleet. #KZConstruction #DigginDeere #deere #neveridle #deeresighting #heavyequipment #heavyequipmentnation #heavyequipmentoperator #heavyequipmentlife #dirtgang #dirtgearco #bluecollarcollective #sitework #topcon

When adding another machine to the fleet, the versatility to do multiple jobs is of utmost importance, especially to smaller operations like ours. Our @johndeere 210 ticks this box and pairs well with our reduced tail swing models. #ad #DiggingDeere #KZConstruction #engcon #deere #neveridle #deeresighting #heavyequipment #heavyequipmentnation #heavyequipmentoperator #heavyequipmentlife #dirtgang #dirtgearco #bluecollarcollective #sitework #topcon

My annual reminder that counterweights ARE NOT FOR GRADING. Don’t be lazy and pay attention to your surroundings.

The Sasquatch was so excited to be on camera. In reality he’s making fun of me for “making tik toks”…ok papaw 🙄 Gotta have fun at work when you can though right? “Remember, nobody ever said you couldn’t have fun while working hard, as long as you’re successful” - my father 😂😂 #KZConstruction #engcon #deere #neveridle #deeresighting #heavyequipment #heavyequipmentnation #heavyequipmentoperator #heavyequipmentlife #dirtgang #dirtgearco #bluecollarcollective #sitework #topcon

This P-series combination packs a punch across the board. The power and efficiency of these machines makes me happy as a business owner and the updated cabs and ergonomics keep my operators happy and comfortable throughout a long day. Pair these machines up and they tackle any project we throw at ‘em. #ad #DiggingDeere #KZConstruction #engcon #deere #neveridle #deeresighting #heavyequipment #heavyequipmentnation #heavyequipmentoperator #heavyequipmentlife #dirtgang #dirtgearco #bluecollarcollective #sitework #topcon

The one machine that probably doesn’t get the love it deserves, the compact track loader. It does so many different jobs for us. It’s one of the first machines to get to a site and one of the last to leave. Pair it with whatever attachment you need, although my personal favorite is the brush cutter for saturdays mowing levees at duck camp. #ad #DiggingDeere #KZConstruction #engcon #deere #neveridle #deeresighting #heavyequipment #heavyequipmentnation #heavyequipmentoperator #heavyequipmentlife #dirtgang #dirtgearco #bluecollarcollective #sitework #topcon

Scheduled maintenance time for the 210. It’s so nice to just call the service manager and know that everything will be taken care of. New fluids and filters and she’s ready for another 500 hours. #KZConstruction #engcon #deere #neveridle #deeresighting #heavyequipment #heavyequipmentnation #heavyequipmentoperator #heavyequipmentlife #dirtgang #dirtgearco #bluecollarcollective #sitework #topcon

The work doesn’t stop when the conditions turn less than favorable. Snow flurries and wet red clay make the cab of a machine the best place to be! With a larger cab, heated seat on high, and the bluetooth cranked up to eleventeen, it makes those cold days a little more bearable. The 0% for 48 months financing deal has me wondering if we need another one? #Ad #DiggingDeere #KZConstruction #engcon #deere #neveridle #deeresighting #heavyequipment #heavyequipmentnation #heavyequipmentoperator #heavyequipmentlife #dirtgang #dirtgearco #bluecollarcollective #sitework #topcon

Snow showers and semi frozen ground isn’t slowing down the pipe crew on the first phase of a new development we started recently.

Pushing through some muddy job sites to end 2024 on a strong note.

Optimizing our machines to perform their tasks as efficiently and safely as possible is something we carefully consider when choosing models and attachments. The tiltrotator on the excavator and integrated 2D slope control on the dozer are awesome but the suite of attachments available for skid steers turns it in to anything you need. From a grapple bucket to a mini scraper to an asphalt milling machine, collecting all the attachments is half the fun. #ad #DiggingDeere #KZConstruction #engcon #deere #neveridle #deeresighting #heavyequipment #heavyequipmentnation #heavyequipmentoperator #heavyequipmentlife #dirtgang #dirtgearco #bluecollarcollective #sitework #topcon

Raise your hand if you’ve been personally victimized by beating pins out of a bucket to change them. There’s no going back from quick couplers especially with running compaction wheels.

A couple of months in and the 331P is pulling its weight as the multi tool of the job site. The bigger cab and increased foot space are my favorite features. It make long bush hogging jobs much more comfortable.

I’ve never seen anything quite like this. Our rivers set multiple record crests and the devastation it wreaked is widespread across East TN and Western NC. Many people lost everything. A lot of infrastructure was damaged or swept away completely including water, power, bridges, and wastewater treatment plants. It will be a Herculean task to rebuild and years in the making so for now, any support that can be given to the victims is appreciated. I’ve attached a link below if you feel like helping. Myself and my guys were fortunate but many were not and this foundation will help get it to the people who need it most. https://easttennesseefoundation.org/east-tennessee-foundation/east-tennessee-hurricane-helene-flood-relief/ #hurricanehelene #easttennessee

Loading the spoon and backfilling a ditch that we can’t square up on. Backfilling with a normal bucket would have caused spillage on the shoulders.

I was concerned with how the hydraulics on the 331P would run the cutter head versus the old 333G but it had no problems at all and ran for hours with zero oil temp issues. Now we just need the rear bumper to come in so we can hang the 6 suitcase weights off the back and it won’t feel like you’re riding a mechanical bull. #KZConstruction #engcon #deere #neveridle #deeresighting #heavyequipment #heavyequipmentnation #heavyequipmentoperator #heavyequipmentlife #dirtgang #dirtgearco #bluecollarcollective #sitework #topcon

A slope failure required a wall be built to retain the slope and after fighting through some wet conditions, we’re finally getting to stack out using these monster 16’ long block.

@felco.ind listened when we said our sticky clay might be an issue and developed the Aggressive Scraper System (kind of wondering if they named the ASS after me 😂) for their compaction wheels. Here you can see how well it strips the clay off the wheel so the feet continue to compact. Thanks Felco folks for always striving to improve and Never Settle.

The new @johndeere 75P just touched down in Tennessee! Larger cab, updated interior, 4 way backfill blade, more power, and a conventional center mounted boom make this a strong machine for its size but once we pair it with an @engcon_usa system, it’ll be unstoppable.
