Having worked for both the company that supplies your logs, as well as the company that sells the wheel loader where you got the load of stone, I really enjoy watching your videos. Keep up the good content
@@shawnatkinson2086 ahhh ok…. I live in Alabama and worked for the Caterpilar dealership here for 36 years which is why I asked. Have some friends at Cleveland Brothers…
Absolutely love watching you with kubotas. You better get help with all fire wood. I’m from Mercer county. I was out on my b26 with grapple bucket moving saw logs out of area before heavy rainstorms it’s Sunday morning. I love my grapple bucket I can move a lot of logs and stumps. I live on 35 acres. I want an excavator badly. Just can’t swing it at moment. But it’s your fault I want one
Hi Mike I live east of Lancaster Ohio about 30 miles South East of Columbus Ohio. I was thanking watching your video if your sister does not need all that dirt you should take it home and expand your wood yard on the lower level you never have enough room ever. have a great day remember God never makes a bad day.
Nothing to it really. Bell and spigot design of the pipe allows for easy assembly. Spigot end is equipped with a rubber o-ring gasket. Just install the pipe with the bell end first. Put a little backfill on it to keep it from moving them throw the section with the spigot end in the trench. Push them together with the bucket of the machine. The pipe has a mark on it to indicate "home" so that complete insertion of the bell and spigot can be verified. Some people put lubricant on the bell portion to facilitate assembly, but it is not absolutely necessary. Care must be taken to properly line up the pipe and also make sure that the o-ring does not roll out of the groove on the spigot end. It is handy to have someone guide the two sections together and watch the procedure but I install them all the time single handedly. I find that it is good to dig a small cavity in front of the bell, (bell hole) to help keep the spigot end from dragging dirt into the bell during assembly. This will foul the connection. If the pipe requires excess force to get to the "home" position, it will be necessary to take it apart and find out the problem and do a little connection pathology. It could be that the two pipes are misaligned, gasket rolled over, or debris inside the bell. Good luck!
Looks great Mike, another great job on the driveway getting rid of the hard rain destruction. Thanks for sharing, keep up the great videos and stay safe. Fred.
Another great video Mike. The music was good and the quality of videography was nothing less than professional. Your friend Tom Hauss has gotten really good w his videography also, I think he's getting better w each video. I love the days both of you post, really makes my day! I would also like to say kudos to you for not saying a quote you used to say a lot - "I'm not a professional, but..." because you really are a professional w every piece of equipment you have. It really is a joy to watch a pro use and take care of his equipment. As always, thank you for sharing this awesome REAL content, just so you know, I have a big smile on right now!👍🚜❤🇺🇸🇺🇸
Now you got plenty to keep ya busy, but it's what you like to do. Just don't get too hot. Here in Oklahoma we've been dealing with no rain over100° heat everyday. Can't do anything!
Amen Country music, I Thank The Lord! Bless you Brother. Some people don't know that the inside of that conduit is smooth, first one I got I thought it was corrugated inside. Thankfully now I have a crossing over the ditch. I sized it relying on the county engineers sizing it correctly up stream, 30". I get lucky that way sometimes, but don't always rely on that...
That pipe can come as single wall or double wall. The single wall is courrugated inside and out. Don't get that kind because it is weak and the roughness inside can restrict flow thru the pipe and cause debris to build up inside the pipe. You get what you pay for.
If you think those 16-inch pipe are expensive try buying the 36-inch road tile like that. We bought a hundred feet of it to go under a paved road and it was 7 thousand dollars and I picked it up and transported it myself.
Good morning from Upstate South Carolina. Life is great when you have the right tools for the job. Have another productive day. Who sings the opening song?
Another great video Mike. We loved the music, my wife added it to her play list. Finally getting a little rain here, hoping it keeps our corn going thru this next week. 100 forecast for the next week.
Well done! Very nice job indeed, you certainly have a superb skillset. Enjoy watching your channel, I am constantly learning a lot from you all on how to do these projects. Nice too that you all help out your family and friends so much. Very admirable trait! Press on!
I really understand how much you enjoy playing with all your toys. I also enjoy watching all the different projects you get involved with. My question is, are all these projects actual needs, OR, are they just really great excuses to get more seat time with your toys. Whatever the reason, I really enjoy watching. James Wester from Phenix City, Alabama.
I watch your channel regularly and with pleasure , i like your honest and natural way ! Greetings from Munich , Bavaria , here the world celebrates Öktoberfest ! Good luck and have a nice day .
Good morning Morgan family ☕️ happy Sunday… vacation part 1 is coming to an end, leaving Cape May NJ onto vacation part 2 Niagara Falls NY estimated arrival time 6p… have a blessed day
What I like is a 2A and finer mix layered down {Limestone} and it crushes in and seals. Then 2A rock on top after a week or two. Roadbase and surface .
I would call that a tremendous success !! Good job, Mike !! Where was your Foreman on this job ? Hopefully, she signed off on the project !! Tee Hee !!
That's the cylinder rod protector plate. It keeps the shiny chrome hydraulic cylinder rod from getting scratched when the bucket is pulling material close to the machine. There is no way to tighten it because it must slide up and down with the cylinder. I took mine off and put it in the tool shed because that rattling drives me crazy too.
Yeah that’s fine the fact that it’s flopping in the breeze and eventually a piece of brush or a grapevine or somethings gonna catch on it is what I’m getting at needs to be secured so it’s not flopping in the breeze
what do you do for head wall and end wall we use stone for end wall and bag cement for a head wall stops wash outs at the front of the pipe just a thought
Most fail to get adequate fall in their culvert pipes and they silt in. The plastic may be an improvement over metal (which fails eventually) The recommended fall for the pipe to be self cleaning is 4 % if one does not have enough fall a clarifying basin can be put on the high side of the culvert to collect debris prior to the culvert The basin is usually lined with old brick or block and large enough to periodically be cleaned w a square point shovel. Most place a grate over the top of the basin and have the elevation of the culverts bottom a couple of inches above the bottom of the basin. Also if one ever contemplated paving have 4” of stone compacted over the culvert.
Love the videos...Thanks for all the hard work you put in. However, my OCD is getting the best of me and it says you need to update your equipment list above. No Skidsteer and no Bluford the dump truck.....🙂
Hi Mike and Melissa Im chris fro Rosalind Alberta i think i got a message from you folks today .let me start by saying i love your Utube channel so down to earth i work in the mining industry up here and away from home lots i look for your videos every night helps me calm done keep up the good content ….. talk soon oh by the way mike i m a blaster up here did lots of work in New York state and northern penn did that shale gas stuff take care folks
Thanks Chris! I appreciate that. You mentioned we messaged you, be cautious of the message, we will never message anyone saying they won a prize or to message us on another platform.
Mike, you get better and better! You and the Rexcavator are a great team! The driveway along with the pipe looks great. You have a jag of logs, to use your expression, to get going. Nice restoration!
I ain’t never been much for country music although I have a lot of the basics: Shania Twain, Garth Brooks, etc. I must say though Mike that your choice of country music is even MORE than tolerable. Why?!? Because it ain’t TWANGY nor is it NASALLY.
Loved the music in the opening of this video. Could you include the name and artist? I would like to say that yo do excellent job getting the sound from your equipment. Thanks for another video.
As is often the case, I was sitting here thinking "what's he up to, what is going on?" and then it all comes together. If there was a local trailer reversing competition I think Mike would be a top contender if not the winner. Good that whenever doing something, to improve it rather than just maintain it.
I have to say what is it at the State college they don't know the difference between a bull and a cow A O L that my only problem up there in P.A. I used to truck up there when I was younger and loved West P A God bless yall and keep on working as long as you can I hope to myself I do a lot of the same thing as yall sawmill and trackhoe work have good day
Hey Mike. I think you may have covered this but what is the comparison of time involved and profit margin of cutting your own wood and buying and processing those firewood poles when selling by the cord.
Greetings! I really enjoy watching your videos, you have a wholesome channel that I appreciate. I was going to suggest matching your ditch bottom with the bottom of the pipe so as to prevent rock, dirt and leaves from eventually clogging up the pipe. Have a Great Day!
Nothing like the right machine in the hands of a skilled operator; a job well done Mike are you saving some of the dirt pile to level the drive after rains and compaction???
LOL, I was sitting here wondering if you ever had to call the PA OneCall to have utilities marked. I can't imagine you would have too much problem but obviously there are places with cables.

No one man should be allowed to have as much fun doing work as you do Mike :-)
Great log unloading music, good morning from Tennessee.
I love the move pushing the dirt in the trench forward with the bucket as the KX moves forward.
Could you imagine trying to dig that by hand. Looks good that will help your sister out a lot when the heavy rains hit western PA.
Quite a logging operation the yard has turned into . Too bad you don’t have a quarry on your property. Sunny 😎 Sunday to everyone.
like a man who knows what he's doing and how to do it good job MIKE
I grew up by the Roanoke river. That song touched me. Nice song man!! Ghosts of Liberty!
I like your opening tune.
I was hoping to see the coupling of the two pipes !
I was wondering about that too!

Great song Mike. Downloaded before it ended. Great subject as I have been contemplating this for the daughter Emily and son-in-law Billy. Thank!

Some of the left over rock you have from the landscape project around the shop would be great for the mouth of the pipe.
Good Job Mike... Going to get hot this week.. 100+ Stay cool..
Great job Mike you sure have alot of fun working with all that machinery
I like the change in music, really nice, thanks!
Great video Mike!, you did a good job getting the pipe in!. Its rained here all day!.Morgans good day!.
