As a total rookie at running an excavator, your advice at 17 minutes of how to bridge a gap was absolutely fantastic and allowed me to get a nice trench tie in in a tricky spot! Thanks!
Thanks for making this was exactly what I was looking for. Fantastic job for great safety tips also included I’m 82 and love learning with these videos will be doing thes for my neighbor 🤗
They are fast and they are fun. Heavy on the fun side which is the most important part of any tool in any trade for any man.👍 Oh... remembering to bring fly dope is also worth mentioning. Nice vid
I just posted how to do this on another video you had and your pretty much answered all my questions in this video. Only thing I wanted to see that I didn’t was what the other side of the culvert looked like. Thank you
Another good one! Keep em coming! Have you ever done a comprehensive excavator maintenance video? Greasing, checking fluids, tracks, bucket teeth, etc? Might be helpful to some.
Don't know if you have time to answer questions on your older videos but, is there a guide or good way to determine what size pipe you need? I know it will be based on the max flow at any given time but, is there a basic way to kind of guesstimate? Thanks
Using the boom swing function you can dig square without tracking. Its a pain when the swing is on foot pedal but you get used to it after a few buckets. Bobcats are nice because the boom swing is on the left thumb and you actually find yourself using it all the time when you have it. Nice job tightening up the grades before putting down gravel
Seems with water coming down the hillside it would erode the vertical bank you cut at the pipes entrance end. DId you consider filling the entrance hole with larger gravels or riprap to keep the hillside from eroding off into the pipe? Or have you tried something like that in the past with negative results?
I was back at this job a couple days ago to look at doing some more work. Hadn't eroded at all but that could change at any time. Adding rip rap is never a bad idea
2 questions. 1) would you guarantee this for any length of time, 2) why didn't you put any rocks in the head end and leave it open? Thanks, great videos
Glad I went searchin thru your older videos. I’m doing almost this exact same job. Except I am doing it on a paved road so I have to cut out the pavement and I am using my little Sub compact TLB. Oh and this is my first culvert job. **On a related note, what do you consider the proper amount of time from the time you go look at a job until you submit your estimate to the potential customer?
Really enjoyed the video and great education. I'm new to the excavator (just bought a vio50 @ auction). I'm curious what size bucket was that? It looks huge! Mine came with a 12"bucket but I just ordered a Tag 36"and a Tag hydraulic thumb for it.
@@DigginLife21 oh geez! It looks huge. I was going to get the 24" but for just $400 I got the 36". Keep up the great instruction. I subscribed tonight.
I live in the mountains of North Carolina. I have a steep driveway, gravel driveway. This wouldn’t do anything, wouldn’t I need to run the pipe vertical on each side of the road, the pipe with the little holes in it so all the water can drain
@@DigginLife21 you’re right, the more time I spend messing with this land and looking at it every day the more I’m starting to see how the water flows and I’m developing an idea of what I need to do. Moved here from Florida where everything is flat and simple. But I’m learning! Thank you. 🙏
I need to solve a similar problem, there are already a trench dug. Now I need to find material to put over the culvert. I am thinking that rocks and sand are bad options because water may go through the rocks or sand without passing the culvert. But I don't want to use soil (high clay content) either. I guess I must find out some other material to put upon the culvert.
Please get a new locking pin for your quick coupler. 😉😆. I lost one two winters ago while switching from ripper to digging bucket on my 35-6. That ringing drove me crazy 😂
Love your videos hate to bother you but I have a question on my driveway would love to have your opinion on how to fix it thanks hope you are doing well.
It can be a tough one to figure. A standard culvert pipe for our area is 15 inch. But when figuring for a creek or erosion situation I will measure the depth of a creek and multiply that by 3. That will be the inside diameter of the pipe I choose. (Most of the time). You can also measure from the top edge of the erosion line (where water comes up to during a typical rain) multiply that by three. That too will generally work.
You're worried about your thumb I always close mine and everything is on the ground I do not trust hydraulics one guy at the mine was killed operating a 250 ton truck...
