    That's a very red soil and I'm surprised if its clay how well it is breaking up as you dig it out. I would have expected it to be much more blocky in it's structure.

    Adding Value everyday it seems there, I guess your planning on living there full time early this fall. Nice Vids.

    Nosir, that's pure red clay dirt, very normal in AL, GA, N.C., S.C., FL and the south as a whole. The color you're seeing is the correct color :)

    Used to do the same stuff for a year with 1.7t new holland :) Trenches for few Finnish tele operator's. Pipelines for copper and/or optic cables.

    all I had to do was dig the trench, they ran the wire, set the transformer and light pole free of charge.

      letsdig18 how long did the whole ditch take? I just got a gig offer digging a 1000' foot ditch for the same purpose and I have no idea what to estimate...

      how to use mini trencher

  • @oscarmuffin4322
    @oscarmuffin4322 6 лет назад +1

    Can I ask how long that took you? I'm needing to dig a 1300 foot trench through a lot of peat and clay to lay a new water line from a spring to our header tank.

    Didn't think about that very true I have to run a 250' trench for power to the shop so good to know

  • @darrenwilliams2921

    If the ground isn't that level i tend to move the digger to the side with the blade facing down on the slope and then raise the blade to level yourself to dig the trench level as long as the ground isn't to hard for the mini .

    how did you do the back fill?

    • @genedameier8746
      @genedameier8746 5 лет назад

      He probably used the blade on the ex to push the dirt back in. I've seen that done on other videos. He'll use the bucket to tamp down the soil and level out the area.

    Nice efficient work, not a wasted movement.

  • @maineman11

    We don't bury to many power lines up here, due to the ground freezes deep and stays that way. The frost will break most things in the ground. Some rich people will want it done up here, as so there land has a cleaner look, as to not distract from their luxury homes.

    those takiuchi's are good little machines. I maintain a fleet of 8 tb016's at work

    How do you get a clean trench like that? I'm still an amateur but I just can't find the right movements to clean out a ditch like that.

  • @bigbucketfulladirt

    Do you still have the Takeuchi?

    It may be small, but it beats the Pine Backhoe.

    I like the part where he scoops out the dirt.

    You prefer the Takeuchi over the yanmar or vice versa?

  • @pauleyperrettefan117
    @pauleyperrettefan117 11 лет назад

    you wanna use my tb016? or my special addition bobcat 334? its special cause its on one track and no sprocket or rollers on the other side.

    I need to trench about 250’ to run water main. Was think about renting a trencher from sunbelt rentals. But I’m thinking about a mini since I will be running into roots and rock. Please advise

    • @janX9
      @janX9 2 года назад

      Nice flat ground. A ditch witch would be great here. But I've always done trenches with excavators. Never used a trencher in my life. Also, if you're installing multiple services, you need a wider bottom to separate the services.
