@@juhani6120 if you have the 3 bolts out here is my only other trick. Use kroil penetrating oil. Not wd40. Spray it liberally and wait an hour or so. Spray again. Then use a sharp wedge chisel between the wheel hub and spindle. That will usually crack it open. Go from side to side.

@@NealORussa That's good advice. I did that last time and it worked. One trick is to loosen those 3 bolts a little bit and then hammer all of those bolts. But that also doesnt help this time. Now Im going to try that kroil penetrating oil. Thx for advice!

@@JoeVolcano42 thanks for the comment! I still use this method every time and now I sometimes put a larger 10k lb machine in this trailer.

@@NealORussa I have a 10' dump trailer, I have a mini-skid steer that fits in it - I just got a mini (3ton) excavator and was wondering if it would fit in the trailer....

Nice! Unfortunately our precast supplier doesn't make riser rings. Some of the precast drainage structure companies around do, but they are much larger inside diameter than needed and unable to be lifted by hand.

I thought about it for gravel work but most people agree that a wheeled skid is a little harder to get grade because they bounce a bit more than a flat track. I personally have no experience grading with a wheeled skid.

In my opinion no. There's 6" or so of rock before you get to the fabric. I'd be more concerned with pulling the large rock to the surface than dealing with fabric. When this needs work a quick tailgate spread would be the best bet.

@@demartinsm8479 awesome! Thanks for the comment! I like it too for long driveways. But I have also been spoiled with my Harley rake now which is even better.

@@f150bft depends how large your tank is and whether it's a standard single compartment tank or whether it has multiple sections and baffles or a separate pump side. For standard tanks our code requires the riser at the outlet side only.

Thanks for the good question though! As far as pumping and cleaning a tank it would be easier if both were accessible. But it's not a necessity in a single compartment.

@NealORussa I didn't realize they came with only one compartment... That makes sense.

@@PrismaticFarm around 10 grand. It is very nice though. I say it's worth it.

@@PrismaticFarm the concrete tanks are actually cheaper where I live. And they seem to be preferred by most customers. They are also easier to backfill.

@@ryanames4007 I wish! Thanks for the comment.

Hey there! It got a bit better but didn't go away completely. I usually did the engine oil every 250-300 hours. It's a small quantity of oil so not expensive. And the Perkins engine really only liked to run full throttle.

@@bjorker40 thanks for the comment!

@@samgebuys2193 thanks for the question! I run a 30" tooth bucket when digging the tank hole. I run a 36" bucket with paddle teeth (flare teeth) when digging the lateral lines for 3' chambers.

@ cool! Reason I ask is that I’ve got the same mini and I’m running a 24” bucket on it right now. I want to run a bit bigger bucket, and it looks like yours handles the 30” just fine.

@@samgebuys2193 nice! Yea the kx040 handles the 30 fine. The 36 is good too but a little wobbly all the way out with a full bucket. Works fine for trenching shallow and backfilling though.

⁠@@NealORussaI have a bobcat e42 and am looking to start doing septic. I currently only have a 24” tooth bucket. I will have to purchase a 36” for doing the drain field. I hope the 36” won’t be unstable for digging the tank hole

Do paddle teeth make it so you can grade with them better?

Thanks Aaron! Appreciate you watching and the comments!!

It works pretty good. But it hurts me on the inside to use it on hard packed rock. It just seems rough on it and I don't like doing it. Sometimes I'll rip with the bucket teeth first then Harley rake.

Awesome! That's another great use! I can't believe the igniter button still works on mine but it does. I've accidentally pulled the wire out of it a hundred times!

@@Fayettepropertysolutions yes this is my property. I mow it every few months. The rt40 does a great job on the slope!

Thanks for the question! Some of my first jobs came from Craigslist when it was still a thing. Facebook marketplace is a good spot to get started and some of the local buy/sell Facebook groups.

@@Fayettepropertysolutions no problem at all I enjoy chatting on my videos! The compactor is a Weber MT. They're German and better than wacker in my opinion. I can't recall exactly but probably 45 minutes? It always seems like an eternity but when I check my watch it's quicker than it feels. I rent a roller sometimes but the time it takes to go to rental shop, pickup and drop off it's usually less time to plate it. And the plate packs harder than a 36" double drum roller in my opinion. I just think of it like pushing mowing a lawn. And it's not hard to push it moves itself for the most part.

@@NealORussa thank you so much! I really love your content. We’re about to purchase an RT40 thanks to your content

@@Fayettepropertysolutions thanks for the comment! It's been a good machine. I'm about to have to replace tracks at about 1000 hours due to drive lugs on the inside getting worn down/broken off. And I replaced the torsion bar axles around 750 hours which I wasn't happy about. It was owned by a tree service for the first 500 hours and I think they ran it on pavement a lot loading a chipper. Otherwise the machine is nice and has been great for what I do.

@@Fayettepropertysolutions the side windows and kick panel windows are poly. The door is tempered glass

@@NealORussa awesome, that’s what I figured

@@Fayettepropertysolutions I highly recommend a glass door. I've had poly doors. They scratch so easily and get so dusty and dirty you can't hardly see out of them.

@@NealORussa we would likely be doing some mulching and brush cutter work with ours, so that was the main reason I was wondering. We know not to point the head in a direction that will cause things to smack the door but I would sure hate to have something like that happen with glass. I do hear what you’re saying though

@@Fayettepropertysolutions gotcha. I think the tempered glass would still be strong enough and if it does break it won't shatter and fall into pieces and hurt anyone. It just cracks up. And actually when I bought my machine the glass was broken out from a log from a tree company who used it with a rotating grapple. The new tempered glass window was very cheap from trackloaderparts. I feel like it was less than 200 for glass and new rubber molding. I had a plexiglass door on my previous machine and you could not see out of it with rain or dust on it. I do not recommend.

Thanks for watching and the comment!

I think I just did this one by eye. I have a laser level but didn't bring it out here. Once the concrete guys come for these buildings they throw up corner stakes and wood forms. Then they stringline it to check grade as they place stone.

Thanks for the comment!

@@NealORussa Got ya. Thanks!

@@eithanlong1355 thanks for the comment. Yes you are correct I have tried to state this error in the video description. Appreciate you watching and the knowledge!

@@resnick11 thanks for the question! Yes i think it was more than 18. I ran some calcs on it and have a drawing I'd have to find. Or I could go measure. The rack is 30' wide if I recall so you could count the spaces in the video and divide the length by that count to get spacing.

@@johnet22 honestly I'm not sure of the thickness. I installed it in 2018. It was really my error no using the foam wedge in the bottom corner or putting a sand wedge there. The bottom corner curve is unsupported and I think most pin holes were probably from sweeping corners with aluminum brush. I've been more cognizant of the corners and haven't had any more leak issues since the repairs. There was really only probably 1 big hole that was causing most the issues. It was about a 3/16" tear.

Thanks for watching, glad you found it helpful!

I looked up my order from a few years ago and it doesn't say. Sorry I couldn't find it.

@@texanstreeservice9188 that trailer usually hauls 5-5.5 tons. Which depending on material type and compaction effort would be 3-5 cubic yards.

@@excavatorguy thanks for the comment and for watching!

Thanks Jimmy!

I don't place gravel under the concrete tanks. It goes on existing ground. For plastic tanks I do bed with stone.

@@NealORussa Thanks for the advise

@@Htown82 thanks for watching and the comment!!

@@tiov3001 I have looked into that before. The grate does meet ASME/ANSI A112.19.8-2007 standard. And the law does allow for 1 main drain as long as it has an anti-entrapment system such as vacuum release etc. When the 3-way valve is not turned to 100% bottom drain then it has what I would consider a suction limiting vent system through the skimmer box.

Gosh, its hard to remember. If i didnt mention in the video, i'd say this machine had around 2500-3000 hours? I cant recall when i did this and have since sold/upgraded the machine. Thanks for the question!

To remove an item from the list, change it from an auger to the blank option. After you exit the setup menu, there will no longer be an auger option when selecting aux hydraulics. Keep watching after 9:28 i setup multiple blank options, so the only options shown are aux, tilt bucket, mulching head.

@@centereachwrestling thanks for the comment!

@@lotust251 sorry to hear the company is not helping out. Hopefully you can find it and patch it up easy enough!

@@Contractorguy you know I don't use it that much anymore. I've gotten so much more skilled with the bucket I really don't find myself using it. I did bring it on a big parking lot job recently, but never attached it.

Hey Warren! to secure the flange to top of the concrete tank i used tapcon anchors. I am not too concerned about them rusting or corroding away. Really the butyl rope is doing all the sealing. The screws help compress it. Once the weight of soil is over the pipe and flange, it really cant lift to unseal. The tapcons are coated with some type of blue paint, i bet they last a long time.

I can't quite recall but it wasn't a bunch. Maybe 1' drop over 9' run?

@@JohnWFinn-ih2jh no problem thanks for the comment. You can do it!

You should also check out my channel I have a few more pool videos with good tips and tricks. You gotta do the bottom drain!

@@-redacted_by_youtube haha good point
