I appreciate what this gentleman can do. I see a real effort to show his experiences and not just the perfect presentation, but rather to show multiple angles of his mistakes sometimes. He’s talented as a fabricator for sure. He deserves to have more subscribers and likes.

The middle of this video is incredibly relatable. I'm glad to see I’m not the only one constantly struggling in mud with equipment 😂

[jesperwall]

Great demonstration of the tilt rotator 👍 Can’t believe that they barely exist in the states. Saves so much time.

[dougreese]

You have tenacity with a calm demeanor and the skills to overcome obstacles. Enjoyed the vid. From Iowa, USA.

Saw a guy with a blocked culvert snake a cable through and then attach an old car tire. When he pulled the tire through it cleaned the culvert 100%. Thanks for the video. I enjoyed it. Good job.

Great job - Post 10 would be proud of your culvert design and installation. I like the way you don’t edit out the issues you faced with getting the tractor and trailer stuck in the soft ground.

[ronaldlewis]

I like this guy. He shows you the mistakes that he makes so that you don't make the same ones. Same ones outstanding, 😁😁😁

We solved this problem on our farm by burying old tires about 30-50cm below the grade of the road. The tires hold the culvert in place, they also keep the road very stiff. We fill-in the tires with gravel and then backfill over the tires and culvert with about 30-50cm of dry "road mix" which is stone dust, crushed 1/2" stone, and some soil/clay mixed in. We have areas that are 60 years old now and the culvert never washes out. We also place a heavy cable through the culvert and wire mesh on the ends in case beavers get any ideas.

You need to find some big rocks. Blast it and and lay the road foundation with crude rock and then spread out gravel on the road. This is just mud heaven.

Experience is by far the best teacher. Keep up the good work.

One man with skills, and a excavator, you can change the world.

[sallowguy]

This channel deserves a million subscribers. As long as it doesn’t change like others…

I am always amazed and amused at how many ways you can get yourself into pickles yet somehow soldier on to success. Bravo!

Riktigt kul att se någon som behåller modet och humöret trots fastkörning, en annan hade hunnit bli arbetselak ;)

There's nothing boring about trailer wireing when Wes does it. I was going through withdrawl when he didnt show up til today.

I am a civil engineer designing roads, site grading, drainage, and etc. I must say this is extremely fun to watch. You know your things very well. A one man team! Good job!

[davidkelly]

i can relate to one of those jobs where everything just keeps expanding with roadblocks along the way. Makes life interesting but can be frustrating. Keeps you grateful for the days it all works out and makes those days just so much more.

[beingdistracted]

Watching this guy, is as good as Andrew Camarata used to be. Keep up the good work . Videos are awesome.

[peternelly]

My five year old really enjoyed this video. And I really enjoyed the impressive patience for your young age when you stuck the wagon and tractor in the turn.

[janwilliams]

Can’t believe I started a week ago and have now watched every video. 7 of them twice. Really looking forward to the next one.
