Trenching Propane Line with Unmarked Utilities on the Farm
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 5 дек 2020
- Trying to avoid to electric and water lines today while working on Dirt Perfects family farm in southern Indiana. They have a temporary copper propane line ran on top of the ground to one of the grain bin dryers. Mike wanted to get it trenched and buried under ground from the propane tank over to the grain bin. But like with all farms, there are several unmarked utilities we have to cross to get there. We do run into a few minor problems with the CAT 304 Mini Excavator, but get them solved pretty quickly. And at the end of the video, mike gives a demonstration on how a flare tool works for low pressure propane fittings.

Trenching Propane Line with Unmarked Utilities on the Farm
![Finesse2Tymes & Og Boo Dirty - Real Recognize Real [Official Music Video]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/3xb4bl5PWF8/mqdefault.jpg)
I've visited Derby a couple of times, and I loved driving the roads there. The hills, turns, and views are amazing. Especially 66. I hope in the future I'll be able to visit again and hope to meet everyone. Both times I was there, everyone was working, and I caught the end of the meet and greet right after that heavy downpour. Got to chat with DP and Gunner for a few minutes before they had to head out. Everyone else were already gone. I at least got to enjoy the day stopping at all the different historical and scenic sites. Lots of Lincoln history along the river.
Beautiful country CK. Thanks for taking us along.
I live in England in an area where what people say are’ beautiful rolling hills’ but I absolutely love your rural areas with big beautiful blue skies. My biggest regret in life is not emigrating to the states , watching these videos is a double edge knife for me, I so love watching them but it makes me feel real sad I don't live there. 😟
Glad you’re at least enjoying scenery!
@@CaptainKleeman Absolutely lovin it , big love from rainy UK
Wow actually saw Mike do manual labor. Lol great job. No broken mirrors or equipment is a good day
He never minds it. Good guy to work for. Thanks for watching!
Awesome video and I admire the care you take when handling that copper line. Can’t wait for the next video!
Hey thanks for tagging along!
That old puppy dog sounds great 👍
She’s a good rig!
Good video. Happy Sunday.
Hope you had a great Sunday sir!
You showed more dirt roads than we have in our whole county. I miss driving on those old back roads around here. "Progress" has taken away a lot of the things that make rural living so great. Y'all live in a beautiful area. Stay safe Cap.
I hear what your saying. They have slowly been paving everything around here. I have mixed feelings about it.
Good video Captain. Have a great day.
You as well!
Great job on the pipe dig. Have a flair set used once and as Poe said never more.
Your smile is contagious, Lt Cpt ; thanks for that ! 😉
Have an absolutely awesome day (or evening, rather: 2PM back here in Paris as I'm watching this video). God bless you !
Hey enjoy your day in Paris!
You need to spill the beans on how you broke the lowboy trailer, great work today captain 👍
That mini was probably cleaner than when Mike bought it, Jerry takes pride in everything he does. Thanks for a great video. Kevin
He sure does
mike needs to get that old dozer going for some fun. good thinking on the casing for the line and using the topsoil to pad it
I keep trying to convince him to do a rebuild on it.
The bucket on that tractor looks like it belongs on a skid steer. Have a blessed and safe week.
I agree and you as well Sir!
The step pad on the top edge screams skidsteer.
The back of the JD certainly looked light with the topsoil in the bucket. It may have been speced as a grain bucket.
It is a Deere Construction bucket for the Skidsteers .
The actual ag bucket is about 12" shorter for the bottom plate.
We have both styles of buckets.
Wonder if the dealer had a 'spare' bucket in their inventory they had to get rid of and this was the way...
@@ryanwaltos2206
Then what happened to the bucket that came with it from the factory?
Nice content today Captain. Thanks.
Thank you sir
Great video buddy:) looking good, your a hard worker and Mike is lucky to have you 👌👍
Thanks for the kind words!
Really enjoyed this video Captain
Thanks for watching!
Nice work Captain and D.P. We used 1 inch standard black poly water line for most sleeves. Typically buried 12 inches( about as deep as our walk behind wheel trencher would dig) Runs over 30 feet we used plastic with flex risers on the ends Propane plumbing gets more complex when drawing liquid instead of vapor. The tank, she's old but has the good steel. The tank valves probably out of date. If isn't broke... Soapy water leak test since service was interrupted.
No comment on the valve. 😂. Do farm tags work on propane tanks as well??
@@CaptainKleeman No Comment
Nothing like starting your day with problem solving. You always find a way to get it done. Nice job and great scenery. Stay safe
Appreciate you watching! Catch you on the next one
I love your site. You are very personable and know how to combine work and commentary, which combined with your personality, makes for a very entertaining video. It’s the little things that make the video and your idiosyncratic style is perfect, as is the fact that you not reluctant about sharing what’s going on about you. In my mind you’re already a hero as you’re a fire fighter, so the only thing I can say is Keep Up The Good Work. I’ll be tuning in.
Thanks for the kind words and glad you’re tagging along with us on the channel!
You’re a flaming optimist! That’s why I enjoy your videos. Always positive.
Appreciate you watching!
Great video thanks for sharing have a great day and stay safe out there
Lesson for today. Always park your equipment to catch the morning sun. :) In the UK I've replaced vehicle brake lines exactly the same way. We have a lot of road salt so copper lines resist the elements better and are usually cheaper than steel OEM brake lines.
That is a great point! Copper brake lines you say, now that’s an interesting concept
@@CaptainKleeman That is the norm for old school UK mechanics. I learnt it from my father 30 years ago.
Just found this, actual copper-nickel alloy, but I just ask for copper brake pipe at the motor factors. ruclips.net/video/VOzcEiDnO08/видео.html
@@martinwyke they used Cu-Ni lines to replace my [failed] brake lines on my old car after the original, uncoated (Subaru) steel lines corroded.
Don't believe in the usa you can use copper for brake lines
Another good video .Being a retired electrician I would have put that gas pipe into plastic tube all the way.A burst pipe caused by one small rock will cost a tank full of propane which would be more expensive than some cheap plastic tube.
Well you make a good point. But I can only do what the budget calls for lol.
Yes ,following orders when you know they can be an expensive mistake for the sake of a few $/£ is very hard to accept but since its the boss giving the orders what can you do.
Cap'n!!! As always, thanks for the ride-along!
Hey thanks for tagging along!
Man, that is some beautiful country. Regards frrom Newfoundland, Canada. Great vid as usual. Thanks for sharing.
Hey thanks for the kind words and thanks for watching!
Finally found something Mike can run safely! LOL Good video.
😂😂 thanks for watching!
That's why I used to keep a set of copper witching rods. Easy to find the power and the water.
You're absolutely right I'm letting you know it is a beautiful beautiful day in your little neighborhood and it looks to be a little chilly today I love it keep up the good work
Hey thanks for watching!
Good job on the PVC sleeve. That bucket has a step on the top center, I'd bet that was one of Mike's old skid steer buckets.
It is a skid steer bucket, But not one of his old ones. To the best of my knowledge it came from the dealer with that setup.
Great video 👍.I have that copper line going to my oil burner. It definitely kinks easy. I have use that flaring tool for brake lines also . That switch was probably just frozen. My clutch brake On my Dump truck Was frozen the other day after Driving the truck on a rainy day and then trying it the next day in the cold. Once the truck warmed up it started working again.
Ild say you’re right, whatever Jerry cleaned with probably froze up in there before it had a chance to dry.
@@CaptainKleeman at least he cleaned it for you guys . seems like a really good guy
@@DirtBrute absolutely! Jerry Is a great guy.
Morning captain it looked like a wonderful day and i am glad that you showed Mr DP fixing the gas line we won't see it on his channel tell next summer lol 😀
Hey glad you tagged along with us!
@@CaptainKleeman love the way yall work together and i try and watch all you're videos
Another Great Video
Thank you sir!
Good video captain 🖒
I find it a good way to relax, mabe that bucket on the 🚜 is for snow
Be well, stay safe
Thanks for tagging along!
Just love the sound of a Mac truck
It’s a great sounding rig!
I am a sucker for different equipment to operate. Actually just go through the motions for me. I did the wrenching and they brought just about everything that burnt carbon fuel. Some came in trying to run on air but its always (hopefully)reversible. Best part was these hobo's were poor so they brought to me on the beg to fix an their kinda broke an I told them I would help them stay broker. But talk about old, wew, it was some antiques that would come through. Love your light humor kaptin... I have frost that before the winter is out will be over ten feet and where roads are, some of it goes down twenty feet... gotta get below it to save the pipe. Its so cold that farts come out in lumps. Alaska has its moments but no tow boats.
Well I'll be. I had inherited a flare tool from my dad after he passed but I had no idea what the heck it was, let alone how to use it. Thanks for the tutorial.
Good video 👍
Thank you sir!
I like it when underground lines are run straight between the places where they go into the ground but it isn't always possible. Some record like photos, video or even something written down makes things easier.
That’s another handy thing about RUclips, every time we bury something, we have video record of where it’s at!!
blueprints say one thing, reality says another. 'As built' plans much more reliable then blueprints since any modifications are noted
Great video.
Thanks for watching.
Good job Mike and Dp looks good using the shovel. Take care and I hope you and your family will have a very MERRY CHRISTMAS
Thank you sir, same to you!
Just found your channel and I love the content, I had my own business here in CT back in 2018 & 2019 but moving to Idaho soon to start new up there. I was surprised you did not use hazard tape before backfilling this trench. I would get my hand slapped if I did that here in CT but then again just another reason for why I'm moving to the north west, big brother is not watching over your shoulder so much.
That was the driest water in that trench I have ever seen. Makes for easy digging though 😄
😂😂
as always love the sound of that truck
She’s a good sounding rig!
Would recommend using plastic coated copper or plastic line for gas line direct buried, plus electrical conduit for that complicated amount of underground utilities. In case you would ever have to replace the line.
Your doing a good job.
Jerry is absolutely the best!
He sure is!
I still have yet to hear you say how you damaged Mike's trailer. Lol God bless
I'm wanting to know that too
I’m guessing he reversed the trailer with the ramps down
We may have that conversation on a live stream one day.
How about an update on the drone 🤔
@@davidfisher69 it’s still lost after getting footage for strangers to enjoy on RUclips. I know, it’s a bummers
Yup you are an officer Kleeman "I'm just gonna walk over here because the shovel is over there". Good work delegating jobs! Seriously though good video man. Take care and I hope you and the family are staying healthy. Happy holidays!
😂😂😂. Hey thanks for watching.
Wacker Nueson rigs are pretty good little units. They actually have made certain models of Cat and Deere mini X's. I just got to run an ez 36. Liked it better than the Kubota unit of the same weight class. They are built stout and have Rexroth pumps on them.
Hey thanks for the info! Would love to try one out sometimes.
Totally agree with you Capt. that is one weird bucket on the JD ! Nice job considering the material you had to work with. That excavator you moved seemed a little tippy when you went to the side of the tracks.
It was a little tippy, but keep in mind it only have 12” rubber tracks on it. So it doesn’t have as wide a footprint if it had steel tracks.
Boy I tell ya ! Use is going ta blow yourselves up ones of des days son ! Ant no messen wit them der gas stuff. My pappy always told me but I can't member. Nice vid Cpt.
Thanks for tagging along
lol I think that's the first time that I have seen @dirt perfect do manual labor outside of a piece of equipment.
Oh now that can’t be true. Man is in the trench a lot.
I just always see him running the machines and you are our there working. Granted I'm pretty sure he does manual labor but you seem to do it more
well there is all my barrel cones that disappeared from my job right there...lol
😂😂. You can’t prove that
The serial number and model of bucket is on the tags at the operators left side. I quick search will tell you what it should have been mounted too as others have said and you know the front edge of that bucket is to long and it what makes the loader work hard in breakout force in the pile. They had a skid steer bucket profile with a really long but short back grading bucket profile not a short bucket with a taller back material bucket like an AG tractor normally comes with. It will work to get you by but it will always make you think that tractor has a crappy loader on it.
Thanks for the info. Not my tractor though, so I’m not too worried about. Just frustrating dealers send it out like that.
Well, the engineers could've put the screws on the other side of the control handle, but I'm sure the manufacturer preferred the screws and holes to be on the window side where they won't be seen. 🤷♂
Keep up the good work
Hey thanks!
Great video. Definitely can tell you are getting better at the youtube video thing. Very cool to watch your videos. I can see you enjoy doing what you do and have a passion. The Wacker Neuson machines are pretty good. They are like a European Takeuchi. Both have the same or similar engine and pump combos. And takeuchis are stout. If you ever can, try a Tak 2150. Great machine. Cheers brotha!
Andrew Camarata would have brought out the propane torch to thaw the door. 😂
Or a chainsaw!
@@CaptainKleeman For sure. Whatever you do, don't let him swap out a radio in your truck 😜
that is definitely a skid steer bucket. it has the step on it. and if I had to bet I would say paladin is the brand
Yup. Makes a fella wonder why the dealer thought that was a good idea.
@@CaptainKleeman cuz he needed to get it off the lot!
@@cathiwim that would be my guess too!
Yep just like an officer during overhaul. Walking away from the shovel. And rolling hose.😁 just kidding. Keep the vids coming!👍
😂😂😂. You must have worked for some less than ideal officers. I know the exact type you’re talking about though. Hey thanks for tagging along!
@@CaptainKleeman 100 percent correct. I was both a Lt. and then a Captain for a volunteer dept. ALWAYS tried to out work those under my command.
Great content.
Thank you sir!
Moss grows on North side of tree and doors thaw when facing East 🌞
If the suns been up long enough 🤷♂️
I'm going to MAP the utilities I put in and take photos before burying.
In the house I'll have photos of the walls just before putting up sheet rock.
Then put a binder of the pictures and other information beside the electrical panel.
That’s a good idea!
I see you use AdvoCare best stuff on the planet love your videos I don't always get to catch them when they come out but I do check them out
Advocate has some great stuff. I agree. Thanks for stopping by when you can!
Looks like a skid steer bucket on the tractor.
Yup I agree
Looks like a skid loader bucket on that tractor
It is
A can of electrical contact cleaner will remove any moisture or dirt in switches and wiring, and evaporates in a minute or two.
Didn’t have any
Landmarks work really well when the person telling you how to get somewhere doesn't know their directions. The only one I ever questioned was going out to a ranch in the middle of no where north of Douglas Wyoming, the rancher said turn left at the dead cow; I was worried the coyotes had drug the carcass off since it had been there a while.
😂😂.
Sun 🌞 going down at 2 pm? No wonder so many people want to stay on DST year round.
🤣😂🤣😂
No kidding!
See? When Dirt Perfect needs something done right he calls on you, LOL
😂😂
Mike does pay you Capt- in Pringles. stale buried in the truck ones maybe lol
If finding locations is difficult I recommend the what 3 words app. Incredible for rural location finding, in fact helpful to the fire service too I’m sure. Many of our emergency services in UK are using it
Thanks for the tip
Yes, we have had several jobs here where the what three words have been on the turnout sheet, does help once you know how to work out how to navigate to the location !!!
Why am I not surprised the day started out woth a problem I was really worried you might blow up the farm lol
Lol
I'm just gonna walk over here because the shovel's over there Lol 😂😂😂
😂😂🤷♂️
I’m like you I love getting in different machines .. I bet the thumb is turned down that’s why it’s slow .. Would love to know more about that machine .. I had to use a flare tool just the other day.. They work great .. Thanks for sharing
Always fun seeing how all these machines compare. Thanks for watching!
Might be on to a ‘how to’ channel with shorts...”Perfect, It’s Just That Simple” lol!
Would be a good one!
Although there is a tubing incident showen 😱- there were no mirrors harmed in this video🤩.
Have a great Christmas and New Year with family and friends.
You as well sir!
Grea job, must be nice surrounded by such lovely countryside.
It sure is! Very lucky
I am a little surprised that the rail that prevents dozers and excavators from sliding off the trailer hasn’t been straightened out and put back on yet. Maybe that will be part of the major trailer rebuild this winter. As always nice video.
It was just one bent rail, the other five are still functional. I just haven’t needed them as of late.
Great video! What camera are you using? The colors look awesome!
Used the go pro 8 on this one. Thanks buddy!
Dang he didnt break someone elses mirror 🙈
Guess he only breaks mikes mirrors 😂
Good joke bud
@@CaptainKleeman you are welcome its all in good fun
I don’t blame him for breaking mirrors. The reason the windshield is normally bigger then the rear window is because it’s better to know where your going, not where you have been. Mirrors fall into the same as a rear window.
Here in nc we call for a free utility locator before we dig it's free haha
811, yup. Doesn’t apply to this situation
@@CaptainKleeman yep Capt is rite. 811 only does public utilities. you'd have to use Master Locators or some other independent locator service for pvt utilities on pvt property. half the time their off by 3 ft anyway
Nice one, y'all really have some pretty country up there. However, I do have one question. Is there a single 90 degree intersection anywhere in the area? Every time you do a trucking video, you have to make turns on those intersections where it's hard enough to keep the tractor from cutting across, let alone the trailer! Road maps must look like a line drawing of a pine tree?
Hahaha, there aren’t too many. Thanks for watching.
Hey Captain, What kind of trouble did Mike get into. I could've sworn that was an ankle monitor on his wrist.
😂😂
No that's a wife monitor. Because he keeps walking away from his cell phone. Lol God bless
@@thomasdesmond2248 i thought it was his pepsi monitor
@@Chris-wh2gy Its not big enough!
I wonder if the light switch was still on for that car in the background? Them switches, you treat em like you do on a game board console. Tape em up. I wouldn't have done any of that stuff that way. But, I wasn't there and it ain't my money. I guess 811 don't make house calls. Great video. The camera angles are much better than Dirt Perfect videos. Eaglegards...
811 can’t locate private utilities that don’t have locate wire ran with them.
I don't understand why the door wouldn't open on the mini-ex? Signed curious in Tampa Bay! 😆
That demonstration flair has only 2 problems, first the flair's inner surface wasn't smooth, #2, it was too proud in the clamp so the flair nut wouldn't fit over the flair. Other than that it was fine! It would probably leak, always test with soapy water
You mean your doors don’t freeze there? And yup, like he said, it was just a quick demonstration.
@@CaptainKleeman Nope!
Silicone spray lubricant on the doors jams and gaskets will help stop the doors from freezing shut.
Thanks for the tip
Mike actually pays you Mike ???? Thought you paid him 🤣🤣
He always finds you jobs to do, keeps those coffee cans topped up !!
Like the info you put up throughout the video, keep up the good work sir!!! 👍👍💪💪🇬🇧
Glad you’re still enjoying the channel!
That’s it Captain, I’m going to have to look into what it would cost to send you a 12” piece of cutting edge for that bucket. Then talk Aron into welding it on Full Tilt style lol. I hate to see you have to hand dig like that especially in such dry soil 😂.
Every time I watch you guys trench with your bucket I get jealous. “Must be nice” 😂😂😂
@@CaptainKleeman it is so nice! I couldn’t do what I do without it 👌
@@fulltiltgrading8366
Besides a nice neat trench does that cutting edge make it safer to dig around other utilities?
@@CaptainKleeman I think Mike says that "the current bucket works just fine, just be careful" because he's not the one running it around utilities!!! LOL
@@Crewsy 100% safer. I can feel almost anything and tell you what it is but you have to comb not scoop.
@28:10... ahh look at that mirror just begging to be broken...
A point of Inquiry... why not just move the LP gas tank over to the dryer area negating the need for such a long run of gas line. ( with its inherent problems).. it did not look like there was anything else connected to it other than the dryer system... well it is done now but just wondering the logic in doing it this way.
There are a total of four grins bin with dryers, they all run from the same tank, the other three are on the tank side of the road. Great question!
@@CaptainKleeman Thanks for the reply and clarification. What was cloudy now becomes clear. Keep up the great work and videos.
@@CaptainKleeman Re-watching the video I now see the tee off after the regulator at timestamp 18:08.
Point it towards the sun 🌞 for morning sun 🌞.
That works as well, yup
🤣😂😗😃 you guys alright 🙏🛐👍🏻❗. I'M SORRY I SAID ANYTHING 😳😕😩 YOU'S KNOW WHAT YOUR DOING 🙇♂️
Captain, Should you, as a fireman, be putting plastic coated copper pipe underground or at the very least be enclosing it all in some tubing as protection !! ? Surely if a leak should develop, one almighty explosion could and would look spectacular I think. I am an Ex, now retired fireman from over the pond in the UK.
no one do line locating in US? sure is a must before any job in Ontario CANADA
Do you guys not have the 811 services back there? Out here in Cali it is a free service to locate Utilities.
We do. They can’t mark or locate private well waterlines like that.
Here is a tip I use on my truck even though it’s for the windows it should work the same. My morning in the Northeast consist going to get a coffee from the drive-through first thing which sucks when we had freezing rain all night so what I figured out is if you just take a credit card and run it where the seals hit whatever they’re sticking to they will free right up and then I am the only one at Dunkin’ Donuts not opening my door!
Hey thanks for the tip! I’ll try it out.
I have used a picture of hot water, to thaw out frozen door locks. It works great.
@@matta3888 only thing up here is I would worry doing that would freeze my locks up real bad for the next time. I also wonder if a wipe down of WD-40 on the sills would help too. I have no idea if that’s a thing I have no idea if it would work I just made it up but it sounds good LOL I may have to try that now
Skid loader bucket, we use them on tractors for mulch and light material. Not great for dirt that’s for sure
I agree with that, would make a great litter bucket for at turkey barn or something like that, but not sure why they put it on that tractor lol
@@Ramboy2007 that’s exactly right
For all that could have gone wrong THATS A WIN
I agree!
