Head for the hills, taking the 14G to the mountains to grade some roads on a 1,300 acre subdivision, want a lot give ol Paydirt a call at Fairly Honest Jeff's Reality
Hi Jeff, I’m a Professional Engineer in NY and have 41 years experience with heavy highway projects in the northeast US. You either have settlement as you explained on the white board - or you could have a slip plane / slide failure possibly caused by the original constructors not properly benching the fill material into virgin subgrade soils. Just think of a slick topsoil layer existing between virgin material and the fill material. The culvert is also likely separated due the slippage of the soil mass downhill and that is likely adding surface water to the soil mass and making the underground topsoil layer weaker and slipperier ( is that a real word?). One could add a buttress surcharge fill to the toe of the existing fill to try and stabilize the fill from slipping further. Also, the culvert will need to be repaired or replaced. If one excavated down to the culvert joint that has separated, and looked to see if it has sheared vertically only or also pulled away, they would have a better idea on if the fill has simply settling vertically or is slipping down and away. Anyway, always love your videos, your humor and I respect your engineering mind and experience! Say hi to Mr. Griffey for me.
Peerless grade 70 3/8 chain working load limit is 6600 lbs 5 chains is 33000 lbs. Binder for 5/16 and 3/8 chain at Peerless is 7100 working load limit.
I have had covid at least twice, I still have a "dry" cough occasionally. I now take a supplement called NAC daily. (n-acetyl-cysteine) Haven't used any ivermectin for several months. (haven't been sick)
Hey Jeffrey, thanks for the tour, I enjoyed it. Some beautiful country I hope to see for myself. Take care of yourself and keep making videos so I can lay back and watch you work! 😊
Thanks Jeff, good video especially the grading lesson. Common sense for sure about that hillside sliding if the water is not controlled. I had a cold that lingered for a couple months and the Doc put me on an inhaler that really opened up my airways, breath and feel much better now.
The Wyoming Highway Department has some recent experience with fill slippage over on Highway 22 i'm sure that You are aware of. Looks like one of our Department engineers had his nephew or younger brother on that fine piece of work You were showing us. I hope that You get better and are able to show us more of the undercarriage work on the crawler. Best Wishes to everyone at Anderson Construction and their Friends.
grade 70 3/8 is 6600 lbs 3/8 chain binder is like 9200 lbs. I always loved hauling John Deeres out there really like it out west there also hauled many a wind generator parts out around you to
Thnks Jeff for the view, I appreciate your thoughts on how to figure out the road washout. You'd have to build something on the lower end of road to catch washout i thnk. Beautiful seens, where are you, looks like Wyoming, Utah?
Honey with your morning coffee, garlic with the evening meal, it helps, oh and the garlic keeps the vampires away at night ! Get well Jeff, look after yourself... thanks for the video.
#JeffWins WLL is the standard DOT is looking for. Machine over 10k lbs. needs 4 corners secured in addition to securement for each attachment, which should be lowered to the deck. Indirect gets full rating (what you did to the ramps) Direct gets half rating. Total WLL of your securement must exceed 50% of the weight of your cargo.
Hi Jeff, I don't know your DOT rules there but here in NY and NJ every implement has to be chained so technically your ripper and the blade/turntable would have to be chained. Technically but I probably would have run it the same as you. Hope you feel better that crap is going around everybody is getting some form of it.
Ditch needs cleaned for sure. Culvert is likely damaged but maybe a good cleaning and some flow fill will work. Then sheet piling and back fill should put a good fix on it.
I’ve never put more than 6 on a blade. You’re golden Jeff. Grade 70 3/8th= mucho bueno. The way i understand it, you need half the machine’s mass in tie down weight rating (minimum). I’ve decided that half inch is my go to most times for anything over 35K .
Great video Jeff always enjoy the views of your road work up in the hills. Love the drone footage and the music. Thanks for the tour on the way back with the 14G. Looking forward to your next video stay safe Jeff.
@jpaydirt To fix sluff on a circular bend with a slope you need to encase drainage. The cost of fixing will be equivalent to catastrophic anomalies such as above average snow fall and freeze which will exacerbate the pre existing conditions no matter what fix. Creating a proper drainage bed reinforced with concrete will allow water to collect into the perforated areas such as a rock bed needs to be sloped and inlayed with concrete to ensure soil stability is through and through
I’ve always multiplied by 8000lbs with 3/8 chains and binders and always add one extra on an attachment like your blade to exceed the total weight. Half inch chains and binders are nice but at our age I’d rather use 3/8 and through another chain and binder on then lug those heavy 1/2”.
Awesome Jeff but that would be a dream where we work here in Western New York nothing but mud all the time doesn't dry up for maybe 2 minutes so that would be in having to just to be able to do something like that keep up the good work
Drill down and put in grout to stabilize between layers and put in a drainage pipe to handle the spring. Then I would continue cutting back into the hill to get more native earth base under the other sections of the road if a bridge is eventually needed to span the spring.
properly to ask is whats the budget, whats the intended time and maschinery and how frequented is that lonly mountain road, is the crack from a slip plane or settling , is there a draiage problem with soil liquification, whats the geology , how steep is the road incline , like can you just take the pavement off fo recycling and push all material from the top 10 - 15 ft down the hillside then repave, , is it a private road or needs to be up to code, will everything beyond the crack slide off if you run heavy equipment to the edge , whats the enviromental concern, do you need to erosion stabilize the whole slope if you push or dump material down the hillside , can you use explosives to blast material off the top side then dump it down the other side with like a Cat 988
A friend has had a bad cough for almost 2 months, I've heard that whooping cough has been going around in our area. I think that you're only required to have 50% of load for chaining so if blade is 45,000 you need 4 corners chained but only need 22,500 worth of rated chain. And i guess your circle and rippers or any other accessory would also require a chain for some reason but those chains also count for the weight rating so as for weight you have plenty of chains.
If your chain attaches to the trailer on both ends and goes over the load, you get 100 percent of the working load limit. If chain goes from load (grader) to trailer that’s when WLL goes to 50%.
on the binders its 1 third of of mbs of chains and binders .i hauled equipment for 25 years all over the u.s. and 1/2 in. was my go for most all equipment like yours. 8ft'an 10ft. work well.
I design tie down points for tractors. Our trucking company tells me to prove a tie point for every 6000lbs. We ship a fair amount of 60,000 lb tractors with 10 chains, 6 at the rear 4 at the front.
7:05 depending on how much movement has happened and how stable it is you can fill the cracks with cement slurry then top dress it with tar in the pavement cracks if there is a shear plane and it continus moveing you either need to horizontal drill down lower into the hillside til you hit bedrock then fil with concrete by suspending a drill rig from a crane- if you do that stabilisation you also need to drill in drainage and if its to unstable the vibrations from drilling can cause a landslide or if its a low hill dump enough material so the mass of fill doesnt allow the hill to slide since you are on a fucking mountain the easiest way is to abandon that, cut into the hill and repave the section further in the hillside
Gday Jeff,, Great episode, had me laughing . All that techo info on the road , blow me down a spring too. If your short a chain n binder ,, just use your belt Jeff, been holdin up those nuggets all these years . Respect...!
Have you seen the quick lock sping loaded flags you mount to the truck and trailer I use them alot we have to have flags on the corners of the haul vehicle plus one on the widest point those are rubber bungee on . I know states are different on there law but really like those spring loaded one!!!!
The maximum strength is the strength of the weakest part. I think you need to go up to 1/2 inch chain. Working load limit is the "safe" value. the FAIL is what you do not want to go anywhere near.
In the true spirit of a self employed man, “back to work”. No sick days allowed. Btw -im wearing a mask watching your video, in case you are Covid 24 positive 😂
Not sure what the deal was Jeff, I let you handle the impact and you were getting worried that the impact was still turning but you didn’t want to break the studs.
Jeff i say cut back into the hill and widened the road to cut. Take where the existing road where crack is cut it down build back up and use part of the road for the shoulder.
Grade 70 3/8 are rated for 6,600lbs but the chain has to be going across the entire length of the trailer, if it’s only going half way across the trailer it’s rated for 3300lbs. That’s what I’ve been told
@@Jpaydirt that is my understanding as well. a chain from trailer to machine that is terminated on the same side is given half. a chain from one side to other is given whole rating. I think the idea (for a visual) is chain from machine to trailer is comparableto a single leg sling. A chain to both sides is more like a 2 leg sling. 🤷♂️
@@Jpaydirt if you run the chain from the D ring threw the equipment to the other D ring on the other side of the trailer. The chain is rated the full rating “if” if your chain binder is rated more than the chain. If you run the chain from the D ring just to the equipment then it only rated for half. So 3,300lbs. There’s an Alaska DOT video on RU-vid that talks about how it all works for chaining down equipment also.
you look like you lost a little weight i know what its like not feeling well i battled the same thing earlier this year come to find out i had a bladder infection causing all sorts of issues
just take the weight of the load divided by 9400lbs and thats how many chains needed with grade 70 - 5/16 chain so 3/8 is super safe with the amount your using
If I told you how many times that I've moved dead man lifts, forklifts, and reach trucks with the baskets/carriages in the air so I could get them off my landoll in our yard, it'd make your head spin
From an Aussie When are you going to get a real truck Just joking Jeff love your content ,if I had your details I would send you some of my show truck photos
Short answer, no, you are not legal. There is a list of BS they will hang you up with. It's stupid, I hate DOT! Ain't no such thing as a legal truck. First, unless those G70 chains are tagged they they only count as proof coil. For the chain to count as a tie down it must have a binder to adjust the tension on it. All moving parts must be restrained independently of the primary equipment it's connected to. So not only the blade bet some DOT will get you for the rippers too. I'm sure there is a bunch of law stuff I'm missing. But I hate cross chains as a primary restaurant. I've been screwed by cross chains, when one comes loose the rest do nothing. Primary restaurant should be in line with other parallel with the deck. We often use cross chains as secondary attachment points but never as primary.
