We hear that often 😂

@@LakelandSepticCompany oh yeah I bet then you guys always say smells like 💰 🤣🇨🇦

Mine doesn’t have an antenna that can break off.

It absolutely does. Its a wireless system so to communicate with the other sensors it sends radio signals back and forth. Its a thin peace of copper wire under the clear cover. I have 2 I-digs and both have had antennae failures. Take the sensors off if you work in rock use a hammer or vib plate. My salesman said they will take the abuse but they can’t.

@@darinhaas3798 gotcha. In all honesty we stopped using ours. We started having very unreliable readings and couldn’t get any support to help solve the issue so we are shopping other manufacturers at the moment.

@@LakelandSepticCompany I am curious, in what scenarios will you have unreliable reading? And did you find any new manufacturers with a system that you like?

@@LakelandSepticCompany Did 4k quit helping you with support?

We typically only use it for tank installs now but we justify it with safety. You’d definitely have to use it often to pay that price.

It’s the iDig grade control system

Thank you!

Thank you, a drain field varies drastically in price place to place. Ours start at $5000 and go up from there.

Haven’t had that issue. Honestly haven’t had many issues since all of our initial trouble.

Our supplier calls it HD filter fabric. But this video isn’t chambers it’s septic stack 9 pipe

We bought ours from 4k equipment

@@LakelandSepticCompany

thank. we got outwards with them to

Where are you located?

@@joshhamel5853 sunapee, NH. But I travel all over New England

@@ne.laser_jon I'm interested to try one out. I'm near Burlington VT

@@joshhamel5853 I can demo the iDig for you if you'd like? I work with new England laser and transit

No, you set your initial elevation and then when you move the machine you just catch the laser and it does the calculations to keep you on grade.

when you move the tracks you have to re-bench. you can bench either off grade or a laser. depends how you want to work. and only need to bench when you want to check your grade or do finish grading

Awesome man glad it helped!

Yes, I’ve also seen better ways to do it. We just stick with making sure they are filled up. These two were left empty for 8 months and out they came 😂

@@LakelandSepticCompany gotcha. I have a high water table job on my books but I can't get a concrete tank back there like I normally use. Have been looking into that guide a bit and plan on strapping it. Was hoping to hear some real world feedback on it. I haven't seen anyone else doing it.

@@NealORussa I haven’t seen anyone actually use it. I have seen a tank half full of water float and have even seen a concrete tank float so I don’t think the strap method would be a huge help. Honestly if they are filled up they aren’t floating.

We use it every day do drain field installs and tank installs. It’s fantastic

we have customers that use it for septics all the time. On a new machine, my calibrations come in within a quarter inch of accuracy. An older machine with slop in the pins will add a little inaccuracy

Yes we do that as well.

You can do it without a laser as well. Just a little quicker with one.

You guys were awesome to deal with!

In Florida you have to be a contractor to buy septic material so it will be pretty tough to find.

@@LakelandSepticCompany Thanks for the info. I’m one scheduled test/application away from having my GC license. Thinking about gettin certified for plumbing/septics down the road. I have the machinery to dig/replace septics and have done the older wrapped corrugated and stone method on a house that is still working today. I believe the chambers are superior to that system so I wanted to use them on another house. I’ve found ADS arc 24 chambers for $50 a piece from a company locally who will sell to me. Is that a decent price/product?

@@davida6383 that’s a good bit more than we pay per chamber by about $20

I would think it would work on a backhoe but could be wrong.

you can def put it on your backhoe. you'll need to install the 2D sensor where the main boom attaches to the back of the tractor so it knows what direction your boom is facing. But it's possible! It's a universal system and sometimes you need to fabricate a plate for the sensors.....but still worth it!

I’m not sure on the 3d system.

I literally just got my first order of 3D systems today! Some stuff is a bit back ordered, but they're available! Where you located?

I paid a little over $10k for the 2d system

@@LakelandSepticCompany right on man appreciate that. So I am in canada so I’d be like 40% more with the exchange good to know. Great content that’s for the videos.

@@dirtdiggler1980 no problem. Thank you.

@@dirtdiggler1980 they look like the closest dealer to the wet coast of BC. we need a cdn dealer.

@@xxxmikeyjock Brandt Tractor is an iDig dealer now. If you call your closest branch they can get you pricing and info. 👍

We’ve put in 1,000’s of these tanks and never had one break, leak or deform in any way. We’ve had 3 float but that’s not a bad ratio.

It’s well within Florida code…thanks for the comment though 😉. We got it in, perfectly level, pumped water out of the hole and into the tank, and backfilled with sand. Thanks for your input of this 20 sec clip of our 5 hour job 👏.

No I haven’t. Wouldn’t it need to be reset as the machine moved along the trench?

try laser receiver in a small deep hole, not possible

wont be accurate on the stick, for grading I stick mine on the side of the bucket to reduce the variables that will cause error. it still isnt tight grading but will get you within a mile

After the first 5 minutes of use, magnet moved! The Trimble magnet isn’t strong enough!

Yea you definitely could. Honestly it hasn’t been an issue aside from the last month or so. I kinda like it being on the inside so it’s protected while digging.

Kubota is a pain because they don't have any room on the couplers. You can put the bucket sensor on the quick coupler, ears of the bucket or on either of the dog bones. So Josh here could have put it on the flat dogbone. I prefer the coupler or bucket because calibration is MUCH faster. I don't like going on the inside because it may be protected from large debris, but a small rock could cause big issues. The bucket sensor can also be moved and you just have to calibrate new buckets

Yea I take my monitor out and keep it stored in the case it came with.

you can take them with you so they don't get stolen but one of the biggest selling points of the iDig is that you can move those sensors and control box from machine to machine! The main system is for one excavator, but you can buy a '2nd machine kit' for every other excavator you want it on which adds a ton of value! Last year I set up 5 excavators for my customer for a total of around $16,000 which sounds like a lot until you get quotes for wired systems at $20k or more per machine! It's also one of the easiest systems to use in my experience and it's one of the only systems that utilizes a 2D sensor with gyros in it. So when you set a slope, it keeps that slope running in the correct direction as you swing the cab around instead of digging a cone around your excavator

Thank you

Thank you!

@@LakelandSepticCompany Your welcome. Keep up the good work

In this video we have a 24” but we have a 36” on it now

@@LakelandSepticCompany how do you like the 36” for the machine? Does it seem to handle it well?

@@ryanslipper7869 it handles it great. No different than the 24” and much faster digging.

That’s the answer I was hoping for!!! Lol

Man I could only imagine what you go through with renters 🤣

I know it. Trying to make time for more consistent videos, working on two now. None of our crew took any damage luckily.

The podcast would be a lot of fun but I had too much going on for it. I absolutely will have an iDig video up very soon. And more job videos on the way too.
