About Jeffscavator Welcome to the channel! I’m Jeff, and I’m dedicated to sharing the reality of owning and operating mini excavators. From my H15R mods and Derette 450 projects to yard drainage, patios, and stone retaining walls, I’m here to show you the real work—no fluff. Transparency & Review Policy Trust is everything. Most gear you see is bought with my own money. If a company sends a product for review, I will always disclose it. I don’t accept paid scripts; my reviews are honest first impressions based on how tools actually perform on my property. Some links in my descriptions are affiliate links, which supports the channel at no extra cost to you. I only recommend gear I’d actually use in my own barn. Thanks for being part of the crew. Now, let's get back to work. Are you diggin or are you fillin?
