Hey Seth, just an idea, maybe use the smaller bit on the auger, then open it up to a wider diameter after with the large bit. Kinda like a pilot hole when drilling.
@@DinnerForkTongue Had one of those things practically disrobe me of my jeans on a service project once. They are no joke. Was very happy to have not lost anything more than a pair of pants.
Seth, in your wildest dreams, did you ever think you would be doing all of this? It has been fun watching your journey from just riding and coming up with bike hacks to using an auger and making a piston power dump gator. Always entertained watching you. 👍
Definitely be careful with the auger and make sure you don't use it with loose clothing that can get caught on it in the case the top gets spinning out of your control.
@@DinnerForkTongue I had never seen a powered one like this and I find it absolutely terrifying. I wouldn't want to be within 3m of that while it's running

Seth, While you already spent the money on a gas auger, I do highly recommend the Ryobi 40v auger. I was able to drill 7 fence post with ease. It only used 1 bar of battery on my 4ah battery. I think with 2-3 batteries in rotation, you could complete a large project with no issues. It also has kick back protection to not rip off your arm.
I'm having a guess and I reckon project horse berm is where you will fence off an area of your property (berm peak) and build a rental house on it like the ranger station.
Good tip with the auger slip a 2 x 4 in between each bracket holding the hand holdy part One of use holds the backside of the timber and one of use holds the machine and holds the throttle
We use an auger like that for deck posts at work. We usually have two people on it in anything but soft sand. Also we don’t go in and out like that, it can get way too wild. Just hold on and let it eat. Let off the gas, both guys lift it straight out, move to the side and blip the gas to clear the dirt off.
I'm jealous of your soil. In my parts of Ontario, it took myself and my brother-in-law 3 days to dig 8 holes with a 2-man Stihl auger. My next house, I hired a guy with a Toro Dingo TX. He had so much trouble, I even paid him a bonus.
I don't know why this is so entertaining. We just watched you do random chores and odd jobs and it was more enjoyable than most of what's in my feed. Charisma, editing, and attitude go such a long way.
You should pick up a magnetic shop sweeper. Great way to pick up all those metal shavings, dropped screws and anything else to save tires and bare feet. Plus it works in the dirt and grass to get any dropped screws after building features.
Off subject of your video, but me and a group of guys ( from Hot Springs, AR) spent 3 days in Brevard last week, and we were not disapointed. We rode Pisgah and Dupont, and I have to say Ridgeline trail at Dupont is by far the best trail I've ridden to date. GREAT community you have there. P.S. you should come back to Hot Springs sometime and see all the progress we've made at Northwoods since your last video you made here.
Back in my college days I built tennis courts in the summers (lots of post hole digging). The gas powered auger is great until you hit a big rock and rip your shoulder out of socket. We added an auger attachment to our skid-steer, which was fantastic. Since you already have the excavator, you should look into an auger attachment for that.
Just listened to your Pinkbike interview. I am a web developer / mountain biker as well! I am shmaybe going to start working in the industry. Not making videos, but maybe working on an app. I could relate to your story mate. I am really glad you're happy with your pivot! Thank you for what you do!
For the people that don’t realize how much of a game changer that hydraulic lift is… I worked with the same gator building dual track and loading the bed with 1,000lbs of rip rap often.. I’m 6’6 and it took all I had to be able to lift it to dump it. I’m suprised Seth can do it alone although I’m sure he’s a little bit easier on it then we where
I almost unsubscribed when the instruction manual came out. But, you won me back 30 seconds later when you pulled out the 10 foot coat hanger thing to work the button when you were standing in the bed. That is the kind of ingenuity I subscribe for.
I have never felt more beat up than the day after my buddy and I used a 2 person auger to drill 30 holes. Absolutely brutal workout I will never repeat
Build a stand/moiunt for the Auger dude! it'll make it so much easier to use, especially if you rig to so you can attach it to the gator and then you can let the gator deal with the torque and weight
The “Project Horse Burm” is a conversion mtb van for rent. Horse because vehicle bourse power and burn to go shred some burms. Fairly confident in this idea!
Plastic bottle with a few neodymium magnets inside, will create a handy 'magic wand' for picking up nails, screws, metal shavings etc. from just about any non-metal surface. Love the video - as always! :-)
My money is on Project Horse Berm being a Camping grounds for people wanting to be closer to Nature while mountain biking. It's sort of like Berm Peak Ranger Station but not really. :)
Seth, i have been using those grounddrills with the boyscouts quite a lot. That one you have there is just asking to hurt you. There are better and safer once, that have a wheel, that moves the machine while drilling, it is much better protected against counterrotation and suited for one man operation.
you could keep the safety and stability of having the latch if you drill a small hole on the far side of it and tie in a cable to release it from the cab
Iv never used an auger before but iv seen YT videos of people using them and they just hold it steady the whole time instead of bouncing it up and down, it seems to go smooth for them. you have more experience than me at these kinds of thing so maybe I’m wrong
just a fyi from a 3rd generation engine builder, its better to run a new engine in under light load or light backpressure(driving down a hill in 1st in a car) to seat the rings in. sitting idling is actually worse. its not going to ruin something, but its better to have light load on the rings than idle on breakin
Seth maybe its just the way the videos been edited but theres a reason why that dump bed has an R Clip on the little silver roller the latch hooks onto, its so you can just remove that clip and pull the roller without tools instead of having to remove the whole bracket off the chassis leg
I kinda feel like this might turn into... "yeah, I guess I should have just gotten a post-hole digging attachment for the excavator". That auger looks pretty janky... Kickback protection/clutch? The auger attachment with a cheap pin looks pretty suspect. Having some type of reaction bar to prevent it from spinning would greatly help with using it solo. We used 10' bars when driving 6" soil anchors (hydraulically). Super easy to control.
jeez that auger, I read some about digging fence holes. One thing they said was if you don't want to get hurt don't use one of those, best is too use a mounted one you have a digger. Hand held + roots = seth twizzler
Everyone talking about an auger attachment for the excavator... It would be more on-brand to strap/bracket the cheap Amazon auger to the bucket on the excavator. Little bit of string running from the trigger to the cab of the machine... Bam. Better yet, zip-tie the thing on full throttle!
I put a long pipe on the front of my post hole digger so one person can hold onto the pipe and study it while the other person runs the throttle and brings it up and down
Being someone with ADHD... you just described my life/hobbies lol! All the great ideas we have (and prepare for) all become due at once and we're overwhelmed. 😅Also, love the varied content on this channel. Keep things interesting!
Best my friend keep going like this support from me only love and happiness to all people and never give up i wish the best to all people and we love you mr Seth !!!
ooh, Augers... I used one with a buddy for some landscaping work, and it was about 5 feet tall, and weighed close to 150 pounds. It was huge. Clunkers, but they definitely work.
I’ve been waiting for this day for soo long ! To watch a video by Seth that didn’t start by today were gunna do something different but kinda the same. Kai Pai well done Seth !
Using the auger around roots you should get a Sawzall and diablo super long wood blade that will cut the roots out quick and you will be on to the next hole. Can't wait to write I can solve one day be safe Seth.
Be careful with using one lift if you load one side heavy it could tip everything. It's better to use to jacks for the gator. Stick magnet with a cloth over it will help picking up metal shavings

i like how seth went from a mtb channel, to basically a live channel with a preference for mountainbiking content 😂
😅 ikr
A little different. But kinda the same.
this is his second channel where he posts other things than bikes
@@silviu4365 shit, forget about that xD
True
Seth having 813K subscribers on his "secondary" channel tells you how good of a content creator he is.
Well he for some reason posts a lot of stuff here that should prob be on the main channel
@@CoffeeMonster12 I know
Ya. It is so good. I'm a perfectionist. Watching Seth wing it, it so relaxing to me.

He just doesn't make enough of it
Hey Seth, just an idea, maybe use the smaller bit on the auger, then open it up to a wider diameter after with the large bit.
Kinda like a pilot hole when drilling.
don't help it makes the content better
My thought exactly.
You can also get those handheld augers with a clutch mechanism in them so you don't risk getting yeeted off into the distance
@@Gliderbloke
Or yeet that sharp drill straight into his leg. He needs those to pedal.
@@DinnerForkTongue Had one of those things practically disrobe me of my jeans on a service project once. They are no joke. Was very happy to have not lost anything more than a pair of pants.

Remember when hey lived in key west or Miami or wherever.?
The best RUclips journey to have followed by far
@@Willburitto
He lived in Fort Lauderdale, if memory serves.
Definitely be careful with the auger and make sure you don't use it with loose clothing that can get caught on it in the case the top gets spinning out of your control.
To be frank, I'm pretty scared of using a powered auger that doesn't have a tripod. I'd have settled for a manual one.
@@DinnerForkTongue I had never seen a powered one like this and I find it absolutely terrifying.
I wouldn't want to be within 3m of that while it's running
that thing doesnt even have a safety brake, very sketch
Also shaking a tool with a gas tank on it uncontrollably doesn't seem like the safest thing to do :P
@@sebastianjost They are used all the time for ice fishing.
for the amazon drill thing weld some metal bars for leverage
good idea!
Better yet, get a better auger with a clutch for safety.
Love the positive energy you bring to the videos 👍🏽
Having horsesperm as a codename for a project is why codenames were made in the first place, to deviate the curious from anything 😂
And there I was thinking he meant Horse Berm 😲
"Deviate" is appropriate here. This code name is clearly about horses and berms, of course... 😏
Captions definitely picking this up as Horse sperm occasionally
I frickin‘ love auto captions 😂
I thought I was the only one that was hearing horse sperm. 🤣

By this point you're not digging, you're mining.
I said it before and I’ll say it again, the Gator is Berm Peak’s unsung hero! such a cool work companion
Love all of your videos Seth, I’m 19 and started mountain biking when I was 13 your videos inspired me, I also bought my own c-10 mini crawler
I don’t even ride a bike anymore but I watch every one of your videos. Fantastic content!

It’s so fun to see Seth’s progression in his choice of tools. He went from ryobi to dewalt with one of the beefiest batteries I’ve ever seen.
15AH or nothing
Always a pleasure Seth. You are a part of my return to mtb so thank you !
So funny trying to watch Seth handle it by himself!!!👍🏼🤙🏻😝😆

Delivered like a professional comedian. Hilarious.
That drill looks like a hospital trip and a half.
Perfect for Berm Peak!
Watching that 8" bit bounce close to your leg gave me the willies. So glad you avoided the ER visit
That auger looks absolutely nuts lol, the way it was jerkin' ya around, you're gonna dislocate a shoulder! Thing must be exhausting
And dangerous.

Nothing like a productive day, great job. Just remember bend at the knees not the hips. Watch that back.

I almost unsubscribed when the instruction manual came out. But, you won me back 30 seconds later when you pulled out the 10 foot coat hanger thing to work the button when you were standing in the bed. That is the kind of ingenuity I subscribe for.
I may be missing other safety ideas but I would definitely use some blue loctite on the hold down bolts.
I have never felt more beat up than the day after my buddy and I used a 2 person auger to drill 30 holes. Absolutely brutal workout I will never repeat
Very cool! Good to see you become a family man and a homestead man
These are actually my favorite videos from Seth! Just showing us cool stuff!
Build a stand/moiunt for the Auger dude! it'll make it so much easier to use, especially if you rig to so you can attach it to the gator and then you can let the gator deal with the torque and weight
Bout time the gitter got an upgrade!
The “Project Horse Burm” is a conversion mtb van for rent. Horse because vehicle bourse power and burn to go shred some burms. Fairly confident in this idea!
I don't know many van projects that need 200 feet of fencing.
Some of the bits have a big spring on it to prevent kick back Amazon just cut corner on safety they are called auger bit spring
Plastic bottle with a few neodymium magnets inside, will create a handy 'magic wand' for picking up nails, screws, metal shavings etc. from just about any non-metal surface. Love the video - as always! :-)

Lol thanks for the clues on the new project.
Seth you should install a sound system on the gator!
Just wanted to say that the auto subtitles translate "Project Horse Berm" to "Project Horse Sperm". 10/10 would watch again.

There are better and safer once, that have a wheel, that moves the machine while drilling, it is much better protected against counterrotation and suited for one man operation.
Another thing that might be worth looking into is getting auger for your excavator, will get through harder ground alot easier.
I can soooo relate to waitn on parts. I'm four month in to my house trailer build and I've spent probably half that time tryn to get supplies.
There are harnesses that attach to augers so you can hold the more staple while you use them. Just some extra info for you.
Ooh the suspence !!
you could keep the safety and stability of having the latch if you drill a small hole on the far side of it and tie in a cable to release it from the cab
Horse Berm sounds like something totally different if you move the letters around just a bit
Iv never used an auger before but iv seen YT videos of people using them and they just hold it steady the whole time instead of bouncing it up and down, it seems to go smooth for them. you have more experience than me at these kinds of thing so maybe I’m wrong
Looking forward to your new project, good luck to you both. i had captions on this video. funny at 4:07 new code name for your project

I put a long pipe on the front of my post hole digger so one person can hold onto the pipe and study it while the other person runs the throttle and brings it up and down
My guess for project horse berm is a trailhead “house” or building somewhere on the property to house tools, people, ect.
There's a crazy amount of torque in that auger. I take it they don't have clutches on them to prevent juicy arm snaps?
Not on cheap Amazon ones, I don't wager.

Using an auger in western NC is like driving your car at night with no lights on. Those rocks underground will rip your shoulders off

you should get a auger for the digger not sure if you have them in the us but we have them in new Zealand
Be careful with using one lift if you load one side heavy it could tip everything. It's better to use to jacks for the gator. Stick magnet with a cloth over it will help picking up metal shavings
