  • Its always Oddly Satisfying cleaning out failed ditches. Using Dirt Perfects John Deere 120 Excavator and Jerry on the Caterpillar D4G, we are slowly getting his family farm into shape. The last time this ditch was cleaned out to this level of excavation was around ten years. It has silted in and slowly started wandering around. The goal is to straighten it out a little bit and get all the spots that have standing water eliminated.
    At the end of the video we head up to the homestead and do a little chainsaw work and then give a huge youtube yacht project update so dont miss it!
    Hope you enjoyed the video and thanks for watching! As always feel free to reach out

    Gotta hand it to you for the ditch work Captain, I'll give you a strong 8.5 for technique, there's so many on RUclips I'd only give a 3 or 4 to. Good ditch work is an art form & an operator competent in ditch work is hard to find. Give yourself a gold star Lol

    • @CaptainKleeman
      @CaptainKleeman  3 года назад +1

      It kind of surprised me as well! A lot had accumulated. That area goes under water every year as well from the river coming up, so there is additional deposit from that which may be why it had built up so much.
