Bullhead Excavating

It’s February.
It looks like May.
If you’ve been waiting for a sign to get dirt work done—this is it.

We are Bullhead Excavating.

We are:
– The crew you call before spring turns your lot into soup
– The ones who make land drivable, buildable, and usable
– Access roads where there weren’t any
– House, shop, and trailer pads that stay level
– Driveways that survive breakup and rain
– Drainage that actually drains
– Tree, brush, and stump clearing done clean
– Gravel hauled, placed, and compacted right
– Fixing bad slopes, soft ground, and “good enough” grading
– Owning our equipment and knowing how to use it
– Showing up when we say we will
– Doing it once so you don’t pay twice

We are not:
– The cheapest bid you got from a guy with a borrowed machine
– A landscaping page with a skid steer and a logo
– Guessing where your water should go
– Building pads on hope and loose fill
– Responsible for work done by your cousin, uncle, or YouTube
– Moving dirt without a plan
– Psychic about the boulder you “forgot” to mention
– Magicians with three inches of topsoil on bedrock
– Rushing jobs just to squeeze one more in
– Taking blame for permits, neighbors, or survey lines
– Turning a swamp into a build site without drainage
– Making bad ground good by pretending

If you want dirt work done right—while the weather’s giving you a gift—call Bullhead Excavating.

This window won’t last.
Mud season always wins if you wait.

This Fourth of July, Bullhead Excavating would like to remind you of two things:

Have fun.

Be safe.

That’s it. That’s the warning. A warning to have fun.

Because nothing says “freedom” like a fully loaded excavator launching skyward in a glorious explosion of dirt, diesel, and questionable engineering.

Will we be rebuilding the lawn? Yes.
Will OSHA have questions? Definitely.
Will we keep showing up with the same energy every time we’re on your site? Absolutely.

Happy Fourth from Bullhead Excavating.
Spirit Lake born. Family built. Built to launch.

Call or text 208-755-0539 before we take off again.

You might’ve seen the video—our excavator lifting off the front lawn like a rocket. That wasn’t CGI. That’s just what happens when your service is out of this world. At Bullhead Excavating, we don’t just show up—we launch into action, with equipment that’s ready and results that speak for themselves. If your land needs reshaped, regraded, or rescued, we’re already clearing the countdown.

We don’t just move dirt—we solve problems that keep other outfits scratching their heads. Whether it’s building a pad where the ground shouldn’t hold, cutting in a driveway through soft terrain, or fixing a drainage issue that’s been ignored for too long, we show up with the right equipment, the right mindset, and the kind of experience you can’t fake. We own our machines, we run them ourselves, and we take the time to do the job like it’s on our own land—because in a way, it is. We live here, we work here, and we build it to last.

Our service is simple: show up, work hard, and get it done right the first time. That’s what Bullhead Excavating is built on. No empty promises, no upsells, no disappearing acts—just clear communication, dependable scheduling, and solid results. You won’t find us bouncing between jobs or blaming the weather for poor planning. If we say we’ll be there, we will. If we say it’ll hold, it will. That’s how we’ve earned trust from Spirit Lake to Sandpoint and everywhere in between. Out-of-this-world service, right here on North Idaho soil.

Built in Spirit Lake. Built on doing it right.

Got land but can’t even drive onto it? No flat spot for your home, trailer, or shop? Trees in the way, soft ground under your tires, or a drainage problem that turns spring into a swamp?

We fix that.

Bullhead Excavating builds driveways that hold up, shop pads that don’t sink, trailer pads that are actually level, and house pads ready to build on. We clear trees and stumps, haul in fill, shape slopes, cut ditches, lay culverts, and prep sites for homes, garages, barns, and outbuildings.

We can:
– Create access to land nobody thought was usable
– Shape and compact pads for trailers, homes, or buildings
– Fix drainage problems and reshape grades to flow right
– Haul in gravel or road mix and spread it clean
– Clear trees, brush, and stumps like they were never there
– Work with weird slopes and tough terrain
– Fix what the last guy did with a rented skid steer and a dream

We cannot:
– Raise your kids (unless they want to rake some gravel)
– Mediate your argument with the neighbor about who owns that fence (unless you're paying double)
– Dig up your ex’s septic tank for revenge (even if it sounds fun)
– Make your cousin’s DIY trench safe (it's safe for him, though)
– Undo whatever your uncle did with that backhoe in 1998 (Or can we?)
– Get your permit pushed through faster (without special arrangements)
– Turn your mud pit into a vineyard overnight (unless you have fully grown plants ready to go in)
– Read your mind if you “forgot to mention” the boulder under your build site (I knew you were hiding it)
– Magically level your lot without moving any dirt
– Work miracles with three inches of topsoil on bedrock (unless a rock hammer is a miracle)
– Or make your friend’s estimate disappear just because it’s lower

But if you want someone who owns their equipment, knows how to use it, shows up when they say they will, and gets the job done the right way—call Bullhead Excavating.

Built in Spirit Lake. Built on doing it right.

At Bullhead Excavating, we believe no machine should have to sit alone, in the cold, wondering if it's still needed. This Month, we bring you a very real look into the quiet suffering happening right here in North Idaho—where hardworking equipment sits unused… not because it’s broken, but because nobody called.

For less than the price of a used car, you could make a difference in one lonely roller’s life. You could give an excavator a reason to swing again. You could fill a dozer’s cold hydraulic heart with purpose.

Machines like these don’t ask for much—just diesel, a task, and maybe a little love. Please… watch the video. Let it touch your soul. Then pick up the phone and hire Bullhead Excavating. Together, we can make dreams come true… one machine at a time.

Need excavation? Need a log processor? Need both? Give us a call!

Up for sale is a 2006 Madill 1800 equipped with a Satco 323T processing head. Meter reads 7,619 hours, and based on how tight the machine is, that seems believable. The head was manufactured 10/14. It’s been cleaned up, but I’ve left all fluids and filters untouched so buyers can inspect everything as-is.

The machine has no major leaks. Like any processor its age, there’s a bit of seepage, and the swivel head hoses do leak some, but I believe you’re looking at less than a gallon of hydraulic fluid loss over a couple weeks. Machine shows realistic wear, nothing alarming.

The top saw is mounted but does not have a chain, and the bar is slightly bent. Included is a replacement bar, spare chains, and various spare parts for the machine. I left the saw as-is so the buyer can install and sharpen how they see fit.

The undercarriage is in good shape, and overall it’s a clean, solid processor with better-than-average paint for its age, considering 20 years of trees brushing against it.

This machine would be a great fit for someone looking to expand their operation without paying new iron prices. Bring it home, give it a service, and put it to work.

Asking $95,000. Located in Spirit Lake, ID.
