  • Sure looks nice Chris. What a great project to do when it's wet as you get to instantly see the benefits of your efforts and watch the water run to you as you work. That rotating bucket is so perfect for this too! Nobody around here uses them much yet. Always enjoy the vids! Happy New Year!

  • What a good job ! I saw a custom bucket built that was a flat bottom V and was used for these ditches. His worked along a road or across a field. I had the special detach ears made and created the bucket from AR400 sheet. AR500 is better but either will work. Wires are placed 20 ft and 10 ft under ground. I have phone at 10 and crosses power at 20. My flag guy showed me how it swooped up to the house from deep underground. My phone line crosses my road twice. What a pain. Water is placed at "7" so it was said. Crazy in yards and property.

  • You are making a nice job of that ditch. At 10 minutes in i'm thinking that's how it probably was originally when the road was new. I have a friend out here in NZ that does drain and cable laying and general trenching. Where they say the cables/water/sewer pipes are can be totally different to where they actually are so you phone up and they come out and mark them and then sometimes they are wrong too.

  • This homeowner should have called the county they live in and asked about them doing their job. I believe the county's responsibility. You however are doing a nice job. On second thought after seeing what a nice job you are doing the county or city whichever would have made a mess that the homeowner would have to of had to deal with and you were probably the better option. You ALWAYS do a neat job.

  • At least where I'm at, the cable company won't do a locate for anything this isn't either their fiber backbone or the trunk lines feeding a neighborhood. Drops out to individual houses get cut all the damn time because they've decided it's cheaper to send a contract tech with a splice kit than it is one of the 2 techs for the entire region that they actually have trained to do locates properly.

    • Over here in the UK its the responsibility of the person excavating to check for utilities. You probably wont get liability insurance unless you have some form of locator/ scanner and in some cases proof that you've been trained to use them. The utility plans are available but will only normally show the mains. The connection pipes or cables to the property wont be shown.

I just wish these bucket attachment manufactures put more thought into us operators when they build tilt attachments so you can still use the hydraulic thumb at the same time....my thumb doesn't line up with the power tilt installed because the attachment adds an additional 18" of length and distance away from the thumb therefore rendering it useless. BTW.. are those RR tracks in service ?
