I have a backhoe on my 3025e. Absolutely love using that thing. There’s always something to dig up if you own some land/wood lot. It’s not cheap but you’ll have it for quite a while. Nice video.
I just got through replacing 140ft of corrugated pipe with my Kubota 23S. The corrugated pipe was crushed and stopped up with shingle rock. The only problem I had (that you didn’t seem to have) was running into rock on a 30ft section. After the third trench, I finally got the proper depth. I have the last section to go and trying to figure out how to position the opening as I don’t have the luxury of a creek. I have two downspouts tied into this with 10ft section of thick walled 4” where I would been running over with a vehicle a on very limited
I like this concept for a small tractor. A metalized warning or a metal wire so some one could find them if they were looking. Draw a map on the Y and know which building is the direct route main run - and that might help clear them some day. Doing a good job on the pipe and trench.
The reason it was suggested to use landscape fabric and gravel is because otherwise you may need to do this job, again, in a very few years. The landscape fabric prevents your pipe from being filled solid with silt. The gravel simply makes it easier for water to filter out of the soil and into your pipe to be carried away to the creek. (Again, you'd want to use landscape fabric to prevent the gravel from becoming clogged with silt.) Maybe your soils don't 'silt', making the use of landscape fabric unnecessary. That's possible, I guess. I've never seen nor heard of such soil conditions. Point being, you installed these drains as a precaution to prevent water from being wicked up by the concrete slab in your pole barn. If that precaution was necessary, the use landscape fabric (and gravel, depending on soil conditions) was almost certainly necessary, too.
I loved your hazard tape comments!! Nice work, Tom.It looks really dry there, but there is some water in the creek. I hope it works as you expect it to. Oh yeah, did you think about putting some hazard tape above your pipe? Cheers!
I harvest rain off of my garden shed now, which is in the best spot for my garden. If I have to remove the shed, that might be mean moving to the pole barn. Up in the air right now.
@@ataleofthreecabins1025 Well... actually without all that stuff hung already (lights & racks )it'll be quite a challenge to the get 10' or 8' 2x4's up between the trusses...you most likely will have to take some of it down first...I'd do it now before it gets too much colder or before you add more stuff. Have you had the final inspection for the barn? If you did I'm surprised the inspector didn't catch it.
I debated it. I can access through the 2 gutter pipes. I left the start of the corrugated pipe with a removable screen so I think I can access from either end. Hopefully I'll never need to.
