This is a YouTube video titled "Bid With Confidence | John Deere SmartGrade™ Compact Track Loaders" containing a discussion among multiple speakers about the benefits of using the SmartGrade system for grading in construction projects. The conversation focuses on cost savings, accuracy, and efficiency improvements in bidding and material usage for large-scale grading jobs. The speakers discuss practical impacts such as labor cost reduction, material savings, and the financial implications of grading accuracy on major projects. The content is a multi-speaker dialogue but does not include Francisco Jimenez.

I believe this could make your bidding process cleaner. Number one in labor costs.
I don't have to spend as much labor, as much time making sure I'm at the right grade.
It's also going to save you money because you're putting it to grade with the smart grade the first time.
The system allows me to get to that right grade quicker, fewer passes, allowing me to go do something else on the job.
The true impact that this machine will offer to our customers at the bottom, the ability to make that grade accurate the first time and not have to fill in those high and low spots of an inaccurate grade with expensive concrete.
If the rock's to the right grade and the dirt's to the right grade, you don't have overrun on your materials that are extremely costly.
If you have your grade out of alignment to a significant extent, it might cost you another extra dump truck of gravel. Or you might have to schedule another cement truck to come in and fill those highs and lows.
It's not a big deal if you go grade your driveway out at home and you're half inch low, right? Try grading this 5280 foot road through a major metropolitan area. If I'm off a half inch, it's real dollars.
You can bid lower because you know that you're going to be more accurate at the end of the day.
You can push material wherever you want on a job site, no matter what machine you're running. But if you're pushing material to the right spot, well, that's when the money's.
