Cleaning Out A Silted In Ditch

[greg]

That bucket attachment has payed for it self many times.
Now the ditch looks better than the road.
Matting cover is great make that old line disappear back into the dirt.
Another happy customer.

You have a fantastic eye for grade and a skill that comes with years of experience. I admire your work.

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!

You know as a retired grade want to say "THAT LOOKS DAMN GOOD " !

[markwalker]

That ditch is awfully close to the road, surprised there isn’t more of a berm ! 🤔

Dam....I was watching some guy on YouTube clearing a ditch and all of a sudden my cable went out...😂

[martineastburn]

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.

With all the rain you get, you will be getting a lot of drainage repair jobs. Good job!

Tonka operators with advice. Chris knows what he is doing.

When I saw that cable come up out of the mud, I was waiting the whole rest of the video to see if Karen showed up.

[brandonbradley]

Just curious. Who else watches watch wes work? I see alot of the same comments. I think your more precise with that machine than i could be with a shovel.

[crkproductions]

With scalpel-like precision, you cut a ditch with a machine that could literally destroy the entire yard. A skilled craftsman in any profession is hard to beat.

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.

Did you ever dream that there would be this much interest in people watching you operate heavy equipment? 114, 610 views as of this writing, and 385, 000 subscribers. Very cool!

Precision mud spreading right there. What with all the rain, you have to be precise. Practice makes perfect. Always a joy to watch.
