Installing drainage system, clearing a field with the dozer, bonus ATV footage
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 7 сен 2024
- In this video I install a 4" corrugated perforated drainage system to keep the water table down on my property. Then I back fill the existing ditches and flatten the field to become a usable ATV track. Bonus footage of ATV riding at the end.
Growl like a 🐻 lol
only people paying close attention will get to hear those little golden moments...lmao thanks for pointing that out. "just grab it and growl, growl like a bear" 6:18
@@jmuller86 Making memories right there. Also while you guys are clearing the rocks keep you eyes open for arrowheads. 👍
@@etacbro7031 yea there is some serious history around me, there is an old foundation near the road (which is where they built back in the day) , I should go over and dig it up, its probably from the 1600-1700's
@@jmuller86 this video quite boring
Please change the angle of recording every time
Do not focus in one point
This my opinion and I hope it is helpful
At 32:00
Good view 👍👌
Looks like everyone had a great time. Enjoyed little one riding.
I'm so glad that you that your son work with you and use the tools that's what I do with my boys and now they know how to do a little bit of everything you're a great father
I just finished watching Andrew's new video and I get a notification to see you've uploaded one too! Great way to end a Sunday, thanks!
Same haha
And me :)
Me too, but it's Monday here in NZ.
Thanks for filming
Jesse , you are getting good practice with that dozer which will come in very handy when you pick up some work where it’s needed . Great to see a son working and playing with his father , bonding is so important .
Jesse, I live in a really low area in southern Mississippi. The right size pond would probably help dry that place up. It would give the ground water to go. Looks like you have every thing you need except maybe some mats. Love watching you channel. It warms an old man's heart to see such a hard working young man with a vision of what he wants to do in life. Good luck and teach that boy the value of work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
There is that pond right next to the field, but its too high to drain into. This drainage that I installed goes into another drainage system with a 15" culvert that directs the water to a lower swamp area. It works good and runs all year long. And believe me, he will know the value of work, thats for sure
@@jmuller86 Good deal Jesse, Couldn't tell on the video if that was a pond or just a swampy place. You seem like a great Dad and believe me, He will remember!!
@@jmuller86 nice place for an Apple Orchard.
Teriffic job. Lots of hard work. Like how you spend time and teach your son
You operate the excavator like it is an extension of your hands and arms. Pretty impressive. Youngster really becoming a good helper. He'll remember the rest of his life these days with his dad. Very cool!!!
Learn as you go, recognize where you can improve... Can't imagine a better attitude to have. Good man involving your boy! Those memories will last him a lifetime. You are also showing him how a father should treat their children.
You know it’s a wet area when you hear redwing black birds cackling in the background.
I enjoyed the environment sounds the birds and frogs
Nice work Jesse!
That camera drone is a blessing, it makes nice aerial shots that would have taken tens of thousands of dollars to make 20 years ago.
yea it works good on the dozer, not so much with faster things like the quad but I also have alot of trees to avoid
Really digging the sweet job you did to the JD450. What a nice little Dozer that will do about anything you ask it to do. They are solid little machines!
PS. Push that throttle up on the JD Dozer a little bit! Ha Ha
@@scotabot7826 I probably should bump the throttle up a little, my engine temp gauge isnt working right though so its kind of risky until I fix it
I figured you had a reason for keeping the RPM's down. Sweet Dozer that's doing a fine job for you!!!!
Awesome to see you working on your land. Working with tools you fixed and the satisfaction you get out of that
I had a friend that dropped off his JD450 years and years ago so I could level off a place for an outdoor horse arena. I used it all day and was totally frustrated by the end of the day. When Jerry stopped by late in the day, to pick up his machine, and saw what I had tried to accomplish he just gave me the look, laughed, and said looks good but what is all that wavy sh-t out there? It isn't as easy as it looks and it takes time and experience. I had a good start but had bad results but in 15 minutes he had it all smoothed out and looking good. He said I did all the hard work and all he did was take the tops off. We had a good laugh but until you have tried doing something like this and learn how to operate the machine you have no idea!
good job Jesse
Man you got more toys than Santa
Good job Jesse, I hope you saved those nice rocks for landscaping.
The kid probably feels like he is in heaven with that quad. Good job on the field dozer is working good also
my first thought with the quad is, now I have something to take away from him when he mis-behaives. Something to take away that means alot. So far its working great 😎
I am ancient but it looks to me like he is in heaven also. I was a kid a few decades before they even thought of putting any sort of engine in a child's toy. The equivalent we had was when my brother got a pedal car for Christmas! It belonged to him but we all got to take turns driving it and believe it or not, we actually had a lot of fun with that thing even though we had to furnish all the oomph to make it go.
@@maryannanderson7517 I got a powerwheel one time as a kid (about 5 or 6) and it never did work, my grandpa got it for me and it needed a battery. I never did get it going, but I took the motors out and used it to drive down a steep hill, I must have pushed that thing up that hill a thousand times and it was the funnest thing around for years. I really never had a quad as a kid because we didnt have enough property to ride it, kaiden is lucky but he is humble so it keeps him grounded
Jesse Muller: This just goes to show you don't have to have some fancy hi-tech toy for kids to have a good time IF they have any imagination. I think it's great that you adapted that powerwheel to provide hours of entertainment for you even though it did not work as it was supposed to. But then everyone knows that if left alone kids are pretty good at "making do" with whatever they have. Just look at the children at Christmas when you may have spent a lot of money purchasing them really neat toys and they spend all Christmas Day playing with the boxes those toys came in! Kaiden is indeed a lucky little boy to have not only the quad but the real estate on which to ride it.
BTW, you mentioned that your powerwheel didn't have a battery and didn't work and I loved the very casual way you mentioned that you took the motors out, etc. AND YOU WERE FIVE OR SIX YEARS OLD. I think that was a clear indicator of what you would be doing when you became an adult!
@@maryannanderson7517 Lol I did take alot of things apart when I was younger. many of them never went back together; I always viewed that as a failure, but thinking back recently; I think it was more like I got what I needed, which was to see how it works. Didnt need to put it together, had what I needed already
The JD 450 looks like a good investment
You were absolutly right about the 6way dozer blade being a must have requirement. Looks like your dozer skills are comming to you quite nicely. Good job
If I was given a 50cc quad bike when I was 5 years old I would have been over the moon and I would not have cared less if it was not a new one, as I think that that is the perfect way to start riding such a thing.
New machines tend to get trashed and then are no good, where as it doesn’t matter about an older machine to much as it’s already run in and is just as much fun as a new quad bike, but still as a 5 year he will have just as much fun as his dad or friends will on there quads and with lots of space to learn how to ride and do it safely, good to see Jesse spending quality time with his son, as all fathers do and something that is so much fun too.
my goodness im always so amazed by how truly beautiful this part of our country is. i like to refer to this color of green as "zap" green, cuz its like green on steriods, everything is vibrant & pulsing with electic color. Gorgia is another place where zap green flourishes. nice job though J, youre always very thorough.
It's great to see the modern way of drying out land that's nearly swamp. In 1918 my grand dad had a similar field of bottom land that was over 1/2 mile long and almost 1/4 mile wide. He did the same thing using mules and a mule drawn pan (like a scoop.) The trench was 8 ft. wide x 6 ft. deep. I can't imagine what they went through to get that trench dug. Just think about all the mud. He put 2 ft of pine poles in the bottom and covered them up. Worked perfectly. We used that field for the next 60 years til we sold the farm. Now it has pine trees planted all over it but I'll bet it is still draining the same way.
CLARIFICATION - I just misspoke about this trench. I was born in 1944 amd my dad in the same year the trench was dug. I never thought much about it until now. There's no wat the trench was 1/2 mile long and 6 ft deep in 1918. While I was working on the farm I could see evidence of it but now I realize that it was probably 100 yards long here and 50 yards long there and another 70 yards somewhere else. I don't know how many sections there were but certainly not a half mile long altogether. Sorry about that. Old men do get senile I guess.
@@kenbarnes8958 lol thats ok. this one was about 400 ft long or about 130 yards. this property has some history to it, so it will be interesting to see what I find
Boy, you did an awesome job on that part of your property! Great ending, what a cute little boy, bet he loves that quad! Thanks for the episode!
Hey Guy good job. I find it interesting to learn as the operator(you) learns. I am 72 and always room for improvement and to learn. Thanks
What a beautiful Sunday👍
Nice work good improvement to the area.
Just a piece of advice take it or leave it of course. I've got a JD 450E and you should consider throttling down when your switch from reverse to forward on the HLR shifter. When pushing heavy like that you should also be a full throttle or close to it. Its a little rough on the machine to shift between F & R at high throttle. Just my .02. great video! Congrats on getting the old JD back to work!!! looks like she is pushing well.
Thanks Jessie..Great video
Great Video Jesse
That was very satisfying. The dozer is running great!
Excited to see that old dozer looking as good as new!
THE top on your dozzer is AWESOME !!!!
Using a skeleton bucket will help clear your rocks and ruts. Also help clean up your piles. They make a roller screen attachment for skidloaders if interested.
yea both of those would work good, but I am going to build a big heavy duty screener/grizzly . I want some serious production out of it. I hoping to start building it in a few weeks
Not going to lie, I scrolled to the ATV footage and was not disappointed.
Nice work! , One word of caution though. Be aware that Bulldozers are NOT made for pulling the blade backwards, it takes surprisingly little to tear it up, if you hit a rock it can snap things. Ask me how I know...
hay love the videos thanks
_Thanks for a video_
Great job, looking like you are getting the hang of that dozer.
Great job and a lot of fun for you and your son, and that's what's important making memories..
Many thanks for sharing Jesse , much appreciated :-)
Thank you for finally plowing down that bush at 39:25
I wanted to save it, because I was going to put some chickens and guiney hens there,but just decided screw it, I got plenty around there to re plant if I really want it
The JD450 was a great purchase!
Nice dozer, actually want one for myself. Although I already have so much upkeep and maintenance on all the equipment I currently have.
my tip is , try to clean the blade ( shake ) as you reverse . some times back drag (Float) to help level any under cut areas , mostly inside building areas . great new stock pile play area ... we will see electric run next for night play action ... lol
yea i didnt notice how much was stuck to my blade until I watched the videos, I started to shake it towards the end. sometimes it seems like there was still a half yard of dirt on the blade stuck
50:00 "The rocks are bad", and that is why the original farmers round there built those dry stone walls, just like they did back where they'd come from.
Nice job mate, i reckon a lot of effort went in to editing these videos for our entertainment so thanks!
Great job Jesse. Father / son time is treasure!
Jesse, You might remember what you were like as a young kid. Hate to be ready to go have fun only to have to wait for the grown ups to stop talking. Try to remember your the parent now and your kids always try what they see their parents do and want to show their parents “hey look what I can do same as you?”.
He’s got a great dad and now he can ride around with dad on his own 4 wheeler! He’s got to be soooo happy!!
yea things sure are different now , those kind of quads really weren't around when I was a kid, and if they were they were much more expensive, and hard to find. I spent all of my time as a kid outside, so we will try to make sure he follows that at least.
I enjoyed the collaboration. Was great to see Camarata helping you sleeve the pipe. :)
syntec smurf was that Andrew filming? Or, at least, droning?
@@cathiwim no I filmed it all with the drone , 360 camera and gopro
Good video bossman...be safe and keep them coming ...thank you !
Nice job on the 450! Looks like it runs sweet!
Always good to have a extra hand especially when you don't need to pay them. ;-)
We use a lot of that pipe out here in Oregon ( lots of water} and it lasts forever.
If you could borrow Andrew skid steer and filter all those big rocks that'd be awesome. Haha
What a cool dad.
Another great video .... Wow , you got that little 450 Looking good and working hard . I like your Rops system .... Perfect . Your video's are awesome . Keep up the great work .
Little guy is doing great at 5 with his 4 wheeler. I think I had a tricycle at 5 or I hope I did.
Like your choice of beats. ;-)
thanks its nice to hear that, I actually spend alot of time trying to find the perfect track for each spot
I like it too!
Great vid. I was half expecting Andrew to appear.
A little advice from a dozer operator. As you are reversing drop the blade to level out the grade.
I did that on that first video and a few people said I shouldnt back blade, so I tried not to on this one. It does seem much more efficient to back blade instead of backing up doing nothing
JESSE HELLO MY FRIEND.I VE BEEN WATCHING YOUR VIDEOS FOR QUITE SOME TIME.I SAW YOU THROUGH CAMARATA S CHANNEL.I WAS SURE FOR YOUR SUCCESS!!!YOUR VIDEOS ARE WAY BETTER THAN THE BEGINNING OF YOUR CHANNEL.AWESOME QUALITY AND FOOTAGE.AMAZING ANGLES AND VIEW.CONGRATS MY FRIEND...GREETINGS FROM GREECE....!!!I MEAN ATHENS GREECE HAHAHA!!!!
thank you
Next: 50 x 100 metal building, Nice work Jesse
I will build something like that but not there, I have another big field that is high up and all rock underneath
dozer looks good. good project to learn on. Love the vids man, keep them coming.
thanks
Dozer looks good, bit of a muddy mess starting out. You’re getting it done, appreciate your content. 🙏 Kayden’s going to be standing on his seat doing one handed wheelies next video....😳
Going to show the accident reports and the Dr. visits too? LOL Matter of time..
Great to see the dozer and mini-ex working.
I dont really care to go fast, I just like going slow and doing wheelies, I have been doing it forever and as long as you stay around 5-10 mph you can almost never get hurt. I just like the art of balancing
Nice camera work... you must have a little investment in drone batts. :) Take those rocks and gather them in piles in various places then cover them with some of the fill for hills. I love hills, large and small, best when quading.
Rick Speer or use them to build lovely dry stone fences! People around here pay a lot for big rocks like those!
We actually have alot of those stone fences on the property. one side has 2 rows about 20 ft from each other. I think it was an old road going back into the stateland that is behind me
Thanks for not feeling the need to add music!! So many RUclipsrs feel the need to add music when none is needed. Oops I guess I didn't wait long enough...
I think he has a good balance though. Doesn't over do it, and same with time lapse. If you don't want music, time lapse, different camera angles, or editing, check out letsdig18. Just real time dirt work with the sound of the machine. Interesting channel, but can also be very mundane.
Boy! That backhoe is FAST!
Mount two levels in your cab, they are easy to get and you can get them anywhere. Put one on each side of the cab, left-right and front-back, that way you can know if your up or down or left or right to far.
good idea. I may mount my laser level on it sometimes too, but the levels could be always there
DirtPerfect recently showed how he puts a laser level on his dozer and Andrew used an RV level on his boom forklift.
I mean just put little levels from the store on it to tell you if your unit is running level
from the drone view this looks like an old barrow pit which is the reason the water table is so high. the gravel was removed a good 8-10 feet down (guess) and you can see the old ramp going up to the road.
there is an old ramp going up to the road. I cant believe you picked that up. and yes this was a borrow pit I believe. it was not always wet.
Soil strainer is a good ideal u got lots of rocks great videos keep it up.
The FFC Preparator attachment would clean that field up of rocks in no time
Well Andrew and Jesse in the same day now that is awesome. Hey Jesse Andrew has that screen-er that attaches to a skid steer . that is awesome you doing that for your son and family
you and your son sure have a good time . Enjoy it as it goes bye fast!!
Yamaha warrior is a great quad
yea its not as fast as the dual cam quads but its still reliable and never lets me down
❤️ the Videos, keep them coming!✊🏽✌🏽
Am surprised due to amount of rock in your area, fail to see the use of York Rakes or pull type rock pickers. They really save our back in north central Ohio. Keep making your high quality videos.
If you have a rock quarry near you go talk to them about buying there old screen's. As long as the dirt doesn't have any grass or weeds in it, it won't take you very long to screen out the rock. I wouldn't use anything bigger than ½ rock since your son is going to be riding the track.
50:57 Kids like... Ok Dad, end it already so we can start ripping on these quads! :) Like the Video for a lazy Sunday!
Keep it up buddy, looking good!
Very good 👍🥰
I loved this video, but like to hear you more. I know that you've dialed that back, but its interesting to see and hear what you are thinking/planning...
Gregory Bondi , I agree with you , Jesse is excellent at explaining things . Also not having a strong American accent allows us Brits to easily understand him whereas Chris at letsdig18 has a great Southern accent but I struggle with it a bit sometimes .
A stone rake would work well too.
Newholland tc are great tractors
Thanks for sharing
Looking good brother
And your a great Dad on top of everything else way to go brother
thanks
love your videos...but when you explain what your going to do you lose me...I still watch because Iam fascinated with the work you do
There is a rake you can tow behind your dozer to rake up a good deal of the rocks.
I have seen that but I think the dozer is kind of overkill for it, that tractor has a little 3 cylinder motor that uses like 5 gals a day, plus less fumes from it.
That machine sure keeps the mosquitos away with the automatic fogging system!
yea it had old fuel in it, I finally got most of it burned and have new fuel in the system so it smokes alot less
@@jmuller86 Great for you! Look like you bought a good one.
Fine work
thanks bud, where are you located anyways?
@@jmuller86 Western Nc
Jesse - if you want to run 2 machines at the same time, take a lesson from Andrew - just put your dozer in gear and run to the dump truck and put it in gear, or visa versa. Andrew has done it several times and it seems to work for him.
I was thinking of doing that but that dozer just seems really dangerous to be jumping over the tracks while its spinning. seems like just getting my pantleg stuck in it could end up real bad. in a wheeled, or rubber tracked machine I would do it in a heartbeat
As a father with kids thats a no no, wise choice Jesse... Andrew has neither wife nor kids so hes a bit more cavalier with his safety protocols. He actually makes my eyes pop sometimes with his get er done antics. 40 yrs in heavy construction makes me think twice now.
...and look at all that sawdust blowing in the wind.
🥳 感謝!🥰 早安 !🤗
You have a Great Channel! I see that you have a good Eye,I almost at first didn't see that Snake! I wouldn't of thought that you would have that many Snakes that far North!
I always had what my uncle called an eagle eye. He is a pilot and we used to fly around for hundreds of hours and I would always spot oncoming planes before he ever could. I may go flying soon again, maybe with Andrew.
I was raised in CT, and used to go swimming in the river behind the house. My last swim, i encountered a water moccasin that popped onto a flat rock just about the same time i did! That was the last time i swam in the creek!
you should make a little trailor for the back of his quad so he can pick rocks with it
my mom actually just suggested that , and its a really good idea, he loves his trailers
