hey how's it going guys welcome back to the pilot patriot channel as you can see today we're having
some upgrades done out here on our range this range has served us well for a few years now but
it was time for an upgrade we needed to make the berms taller we needed to make everything wider
so we had more room for activities so today is the day so for those of you that like heavy equipment
you may already follow the guy that's back here on this bulldozer behind me this is let's dig
18 from the let's dig 18 youtube channel he does a lot of really cool videos he does some grading
he builds ponds he does everything if it's heavy equipment he does it he takes his camera along
for all of his jobs and videos the whole thing explains what he's doing as he does it so if you
haven't checked out his channel yet guys make sure you get over and check out let's dig 18. i'll put
a link to his channel down in the description below as you can see he's already about halfway
done out here guys so we're going to sit back and watch him work but if you haven't done it
yet make sure you hit that subscribe button down below hit that notification bell and give us a
thumbs up we really appreciate that so let's watch the pilot patriot range get an upgrade
wow
hmm
all right guys my buddy chris from let's dig 18 has finished up for the day and man it
is looking good out here even went back and smoothed everything out looking really good
he didn't get it quite finished up today because it was a little too wet out here but it's already
starting to dry out and it's supposed to be coming back next week to finish it up bring
the mini excavator out here and clean everything up get those berms packed down nice and level
and i'll tell y'all it really pays to get somebody that knows what they're doing out here to do this
stuff all right here's what we got going on right now brought that side berm up there to
about eight feet it was about four feet before so that's nice i know it's hard to tell on the camera
but that back berm it's probably about 11 and a half feet right now
extended this other side berm to the same length as the other you still got to come
back and get that cleaned up it was just a little too wet to get that work done
and he said he thinks he's going to be able to add about another foot to the top here which
is going to be perfect put us at right about 12 feet that's what i was shooting for and of
course he's going to use the mini x to get a little bit more of a steeper slope to it
and then down here in our bottom corner where that drain pipe is got to fill in up here above
that everything in this field drains down to this corner so as long as we keep that
drain pipe intact everything should be good to go there ready to see the finished product
so
do
one
all right guys it is done and i think it looks great we could not be happier with the results
chris from let's dig 18 did an amazing job out here and i don't know if you guys have
seen his video yet but the way he works that excavator is just very impressive
so if you haven't seen that yet guys i will put a link to his videos down in the description below
so basically what we ended up doing guys instead of bringing dirt in to build these berms up what
he did was he brought the bulldozer out here and he basically scraped dirt off the top of
the field and pushed it down here towards the berms to build that up we ended up at about
eight foot tall and 55 foot wide on the sides and 12 foot tall and 65 foot wide on the back
which is a major improvement it's exactly what we wanted and it's going to work out great for us
now we have had a lot of really wet weather lately so i'm going to have to come out here
with the box blade just to smooth it out a little bit more before i put grass seed down out here
and because we did have a big rain last night it's still a little bit wet so i'm not gonna do
too much shooting here today but i did set up a few targets so i'm gonna get out here and shoot
just a little bit again i just want to thank chris from let's dig 18 for all his hard work
