1,000,000+ Yards of Earth Movement | JR Vinagro

Let’s go watch dirt!

In this episode of the vlog, Aaron and the BW crew (Eric, Kjell, and Angel) headed out to Worcester, MA to visit J.R. Vinagro on a HUGE commercial development project.

The job site they visited was just shy of 100 acres where JR Vinagro was building out a four-story commercial development for an undisclosed company. They had about 1.5 million yards to cut and fill. Talk about a lot of dirt to move!

What was unique about this project was how fast their customer wanted to get this building up and ready. JR Vinagro was expected to have 1/3rd of the building ready in just 6 weeks, and in 8 weeks they had the whole building pad graded.

The key players on site were a CAT 6015B and a CAT 395. They were mainly running Volvo 40 ton trucks, but there was at least one Volvo 60 ton truck.

Aaron also talks about the importance of contractors utilizing rock on site to crush, instead of needing to import extra material. It helps save a lot of money and material when done properly. Unfortunately they weren't running the crushing spread on the day of the visit, so there's no active crushing footage.

The second site took the crew out to Providence, Rhode Island to see JR Vinagro’s recycling/processing/wood yard where there are ENORMOUS piles of firewood. (They do over 2000 cords a year)

They haul the timber from land clearing projects and put it through a machine that splits it into firewood. WAY faster than using an ax.

The second wood yard brings in all of the brush, stumps, and “not good” wood. They throw it through a processing machine that shreds it and turns it into fine mulch that landscaping operations and people will buy to keep their trees and bushes nice and happy.

Everything they do there is about recycling and used to turn into reusable products which is super cool. It’s not just cutting trees down. There’s thought behind it.

PS. Bonus content in this episode includes an original Caterpillar 988 and 988F. Enjoy!
