We have over a mile of water line to install and its not going to be easy ripper possibly involve 😬 

Good work Mike! Matt always adds to the videos

Nice to see Farmer Chris in your video Mr Dirt Perfect

Always upbeat ! Always attention to detail, water pipes separated, sand underneath pipe in rocky spots, covered and compacted and good and deep. Excellent job.

👍thanks for sharing your day 👍 maybe a used tractor tire to space the interior of the spool and a small lawnmower rim to be a guide for the outgoing side that moves for different radius feeds 👍

DP, just a suggestion, the eyes that the pipe travel through could be turned at a 45 degree angle so the pipe won't chaff when it exits the roll.

Great job Matt unrolling the pipe

Where I'm at you have to cover it with blue stone dust And the waterline Crossing that road should be inside of a conduit especially if that section of road is going to get Asphalt in the future or a culvert pipe that way you only have to dig up the end of the culvert pipe and you can slide a new piece through

I’m a locator. My biggest pet peeve are domestic water pipes with no tracer wire. Hard to locate later without it.

You are braver or maybe more confident than me. Covering the pipes before connecting and pressure testing

I like seeing the homemade un-coiler in action. Now you can modify it as needed to get her dialed in.

Blessings to all! Y’all make it look easy. I think I would mount the eye for the unroller on a swivel so it could swing a little as needed.

Reel worked well. Good video.

..a big project, good one, keep safe..

Great, buuut. I would have hit each water line with different color spray paints every meter or so. Just a burst of paint from a spray can or gadget attached to the uncoiler. Red. Green. Black. White. And I would do two other things: run two fiber optic lines in the trench for future use and a metal tracer wire for when locating needs to be done someday years from now. Optionally, run a fifth water line as a spare. Running the pipes with colors means no need to do all that work to keep them apart. But all I know about trenching was running satellite TV coax under a road. Needed two lines. I ran four in conduit so it could all be used for upgrades and included a nylon rope so it could be refished if ever needed. Each coax got its own color of zip tie every meter or so but not tied to each other. It ended up being super useful when that site upgraded to bigger sat dishes with multiple feeds. Every coax was marked and easy to find.

Just good hard work love it I swear if I didn't have my hands full here in southern Wv I be there begging u for a job. You are awesome thank u for the awesome content 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Hi Guys . I just laid out over 7 miles of pipe. 2inch and 1 3/4 pipe. put some adjustable arms on the spinner to keep the pipe tight on the spinner. The more the coil moves the worse it uncoils. also have the feed out guide facing the direction you are laying the pipe as this will reduce the chance of bending the pipe.

Man, I feel for Matt, when my back is out, climbing on and off a tractor is about the worst. I'm waiting to see the ripper action, seen them on a lot of machines, but even growing up in the Texas hill country, I've never seen one actually used. (Seen a lot of pipeline trenches loosened with explosives, but never a ripper on a dozer.)

Seeing you down and in the trench gives me the “willies.” I was working a summer construction job in northern Minnesota laying in sewer tile. We were about 15 feet deep. The backhoe operator was digging the trench, another guy was laying the clay sewer tile and my job was to chip away at the sides of the trench and to put enough soil on each tile to hold it in place. The soil was probably 60/40 sand and clay. There was no shoring. This was in 1957, before OSHA , I believe.. I saw the trench begin to cave in where the guy was laying the tile..I was about 20 feet behind him. I heard someone yell, “cave in..run,” so I turned around and ran for the ladder which was about 50 feet away and scrambled out of there. They put a rope around the man’s shoulders and pulled him out of the hole. It all happened so fast. I guess they pulled him a part because he died died on the scene. When I came home from work early, my mother asked why I was home so early..I told her what happened and that was my last day on the job, which was actually my first day. This was between my freshman and my sophomore year in college, so I was 19 years old. I never did get paid for that day..$ 1.00 per hour..and that’s ok..blood money? No no.

just a suggestion.. colored electrical tape (or heat shrink tubing) does wonders on keeping wires and water pipes that are of the same color easily identified on multiple runs bundled together on long runs keeping the guess work to a minimum.

Well thought out install - the “un-coiler” worked better than I thought it would. Thanks DP.

Always ready for a little dirt in my coffee... Good job, great video!! 😎👍

Great to see the uncoiler in operation!

Great video Mr Dirt Perfect

Mike you need a skid steer quick attach plate on that uncoiler. To make it easier to get in and out of the skid steer. Great idea using Mr Millennial as a test subject. Lol God bless

Looking forward to seeing the new ripper in action. Nice job so far.

What a great process vid. So glad your new pipe roller is working as well as it did y’all. Read some of the tips for tweaking it which sound doable & fun to experiment with. Can’t wait to see the next part. Be safe getting thru the rock!! 👍👏💯💯💯👏👍

Great video, thanks for sharing 👍👍👍👍👍😺🤗🐺

Thanks for a fun video! You and NYA Millennial work well together. Today is the very first time I've seen you laying long runs of pipe and your device worked great. It's nice to see so many posts by viewers trying to make your device work better but if you only use it once in a while it worked just fine. Like everyone else, I'm looking forward to see what your ripper does. Cheers from Canada.

Loved the video DP you and Matt make watching dirt be dug fun😃 keep up the great work

The tile plow videos r awesome so far y’all

I enjoyed the vedio and the new invention works great 👍❤️

GOOD JOB MATT, the small bucket did the job digging the hole for the water pipes.

Awesome work DP and Matt, take care of your back Matt hope you heal up fast.

Great job Thanks for sharing 👍

Great video DP and good work guys

Mike your pipe reel works great! Thanks for sharing! Kevin

that thing DP and Gunner made is a big help. as usual you guys made a nice job in my area we use to put watherlines at 4 to 6 foot down to be safe from frost

Looks like the new hose reel worked pretty well for a first attempt. It sure beats doing it the other way for sure. Nice job guys.

Can’t wait to see the rock ripping brother, I hope y’all have some good luck with that stuff!👌🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻

Good job DP thanks for video

Great video as usual

Good to see Gunners' hard work paying off Mike !! 😉 Matt is becoming quite an operator, you can't beat on the job training!! If only you brought the Tilt bucket...... 🤷‍♂️🤦‍♂️😂

So far so good. I would say good luck ripping rock but I am pretty sure it’s already in the can as they say. Enjoying watching the installation, thanks for the ride along.

Great video Mike it's all working great another job well done 🇺🇲

That hose spool worked really good !

Looking good Mike

I always enjoy watching your timelapse videos, let’s us watch the whole progress of the job! Thanks Looks great, nice and neat job brother!👌🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻

Another great video with you and Matt. I have two suggestions for your waterline roller now that I’ve seen it in action. Maybe add some short risers to the outside spokes to keep the waterline from getting under them. And put some type of pulley where you have the eye that the waterline feeds through to keep from fraying the pipe as it feeds through it. It seems to be working fine like it is except for the waterline getting frayed a little bit. Just heating below the eye and turning it at an angle might help. Or grinding down the cleats of the re-bar to keep them from scratching the pipe as it feeds through. Just a couple suggestion.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts, ideas and videos. Nice start to an interesting job. Looking forward to seeing the next stage, and maybe a short clip of how they stage the meters in a remote location, so far from any actual permanent structure. Will be nice to see the ripper get broke in and any custom tricks you have to get the most out of it. Wishing you and your family the best.

Great videos . From Texas Dan

Great show guys

The 120 just shows up to work every time.What a machine

WUAO D.P, THAT'S REALY IS A LOT OF WORK. NICE JOB WELL DONE LIKE ALWAYS. ANOTHER GREAT VIDEO AS ALWAYS.

Great Channel. Enjoy watching you guys

Nice job Mike. Good to see you back in the 120.

Mikey that looks super. Love those flat edge buckets for trenching. Especially for drain lines! Unfortunately there are far too many rocks around here to even buy one! The spooler worked great… despite all the dire predictions of failure on the build vid! Can hardly wait to see you do battle with that clif!

Another great video.

Mike I've read some good suggestions in the comments abort the pipe feed. Pull them feed eyes off the spooler and replace em with rollers like a winch fairhead. Two flat bars top n bottom. Steel bar with a bit of steel pipe slid over as a roller one side welded top n bottom and then a few holes through the top n bottom plate and a hitch pin with a piece of steel pipe as the roller through whichever hole fits the pipe diameter best. It's adjustable and the pipe won't hang up on it. 😉

That coiler works good!

Man, you've got some killer skills!

dirt perfect in the ditch you look good down there Bro

You guys sure do good work and make sure 👍 it looks like it was never disturbed

Wheel trencher works great on rock areas.

I love the pipe unroller it needs a few more mods. Like the pipe guide so you can go forward. You need MBTS in the ditch separating pipes.

nice work , especially the pipe reel

Turning the guides diagonal or change them to a 24" long 2" dia pipe would help feed the line from the front towards the back and to the side easier. Plus some adaptor sleeves for different inner coil sizes with slot eyes on the bottom to lock onto the rebar keep them from popping out. To keep your coils centered.🤔👍

Enjoyed the video.

Nice video thanks

great job, work to do on the pipe unwinder and maybe chain it in place for now.

Nice nice job here in England we wouldn’t put sand on the polyethylene pe80 pipe all the way from the bottom to the top just in case it needs to be dug back up again it tell them the pipe is not too far away when they hit the sand if you no what I mean

👍Looks like a couple of old tires as a core support might help keep that pipe centered on your spooler to avoid the off center effects that you're getting to lessen the chance of a kink.. Nice device for the arsenal.

Hey mike maybe make some random keepers that are removable to drop in random rings. Take some rebar and weld a washer on them and on the bottom rings weld a flat plate with a hole to keep the pipe from falling down below the spinner

ROCK ! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 RIPPER , FILL

Hi Mike, if you put a tyre over the middle down to the wheel it may fit the middle of the coil and spin better. Mike in UK

Great video buddy and a nice setup 👍

A sweet looooooooooooooooong job! 🤓

Hello from the Netherlands . I'm curious about the ripper and its modifications . thanks for the video DP and Matt .

oooo houses behind a cemetery.. thats going to make for some interesting late night i think i just saw something times..

Job well done, still anxiously waiting to see that Ripper in the ground. Always nice to see people take pride in their work when laying water line and not just throw in a trench full of spaghetti. The next guy will very much appreciate it for sure. And since the next guy is often times you it's worth the effort lol. Thanks for bringing us along DP 😁 👍

When my Uncle had more than one pipe in a trench he would use different color spray paint across the bundle side at four points and the ends. You always know which pipe was witch by color and connection. If you had to dug one up in the future you also knew.....never a guess no matter who was working on them...cheap quick ...Love the Vids....keep the faith now go dig something! All the best!

I was wondering how the reel would work Mike, works great brother!

Great idea and build! Perhaps if the eyelet guide was angled a little more away from the skid steer and not so much of a 90 degree it might help it to unreel a little smoother. Of course, Matt will probably run it to something and ben it that way eventually anyway! Lol.

I wonder if you could come up with a modular brace system, kinda like you see in the ICF block supports. Have a color code to each brace to keep multiple lines organized.

I wonder if you had something to take up the space inside the coil so it's evenly centered on the hub. Kinda like the insert on a record player for playing 45s. Maybe it would spool a bit better?

9.4K+👍'S UP thanks for sharing

Hey guy's if you don't already have one, you might want to invest in a small motograder for back filling . Just set the blade down level with the road and on an angel back towards the back wheel, run it out to the side and go forward watching it roll the dirt into the ditch. I believe it would be a lot faster for you. Just a thought.

Looking Good Guys. Cant wait to see Who wins the bet tomorrow..LOL..Great Video...

Watching your trench, I'm thinking winter freeze-up. Here in northern MN we want our water lines buried 6' deep to stay below the frost line.

We have to put water lines at least 4 feet down her in Ontario and lots of times 5 to 6 feet to protect from frost. The frost is almost down 4 feet this year. If you want to use the uncoiled in forward just put it on the forks the opposite way.

18 inches!!!!! holy cow we have 4 feet frost lines

The rings where the pipe passes through should be adjustable so you can angle them depending on the direction you are traveling. If you cut them off and put them on a section of pipe that fits over the rebar with grub screws you can adust the angle when needed.

the home made hose roller worked pretty damned well. you mentioned tweaking it a bit, and I'm sure you prob thought of this. noticed as unrolling was a sort of spring effect. was thinking maybe a T handle welded to hub nut would give operator to adjust rotation tension as needed. hub such a low speed really don't need to worry about sealing and keeping free of debris.

Good video,your roller needs a few modifications,but looks like in long run will work out.you do collect a few spectators on this project.just keep up the pace and you will get there.every day a new adventure with you and your band of merry men.would help if pipe was not so stiff but it’s plastic and it’s frozen.carry on.👍👍👍👍😎😎😎😎

Hey guys…I was thinking if you flip the uncoiler around, you could go forward. (Put the spool closer to the cab and the eyelets in the front) Might be worth a try! Great video!

It also helps if you have a brake of some kind to keep tension on the pipe so it doesn’t pop over the top or fall off the side of the carriage

just a thought DP that the bottom"spokes " be at 45 degrees to stop hopefully the pipe from spreading out and going under the rig

If the banter in part 1 is anything to go by part 2 should be a ripper with all that rock in the way. Great video bro. Safe travels

One trick is to throw a few stripes of spray paint on the rolls before you unravel them to keep them organized

@Dirt Perfect If separating the pipe is only for identification, you can use different colored spray paint and mark each roll before unrolling. We used to do that with wire spools and you can identify them all the way. The way you separated them is nice though. Killer job overall as well.

keeping the pipes separated is good .... as a back up plan to identify each pipe all you need is a shop vac or air compressor to move air through each of the pipes !!
