Either the hydraulic hoses are reversed or the control is being operated in reverse. The outcome is the auger running counterclockwise.
True.. I previously worked on Toro commercial equipment that did the same thing when the hoses were reversed.( on some various attachments, not in this case where it has F & R )
I was laughing at them the second they started. I can't believe it took so long to figure out.
@@Stratos53100 when setting up the auger to my old 753 had to switch the lines as well.
@@joeshmoe7789 I mean, it's no different than any old screw. Shouldn't every one of them have experience with screws?
@@KaiHenningsen The threads of the auger so are course, you can see it a mile away!
I spent waaaay too much time putting in parking lots when I was younger, we used a traffic cone as a funnel when filling the bollards.
I just watched the video in reverse and the holes all looked good to me.
Knowledge is having the right answers. Intelligence is asking the right questions. Ken

One (of the MANY) great things about these videos is: it shows how much work is involved in "simple" projects!
To the unaware, they see (or more likely DON'T see) a "little expansion of a driveway", with NO understanding or appreciation of the amount of knowledge, organization, or effort it takes to be an unnoticed piece of infrastructure!
Good Job! I'm sure the customer is [or SHOULD BE!] happy!
BTW, they sell plastic yellow covers for the bollards. Saves maintenance and damage of the super-minor bumps/scratches( to the bollards AND vehicles)
See ya on the next one!
What I like about this channel if you mess up you don't cut it out of the video. Other channels make it look so easy with no problems . Keep doing what you're doing
Haha I don't see any reason to hide my mistakes. A great quality is solving problems that arise from my mistakes and learning resiliency to keep moving forward. I know some people who get derailed and they shut down if they make a mistake. Thanks for your support redfish - Shawn
@@GCFD question are you going to give a follow up on the King ranch diesel?
Sean, I almost felt like you guys were teasing us. You were standing there looking so serious watching the auger run backwards and you couldn't figure out what was going on. It's funny how when I do something I can get so focused on accomplishing the task that I lose my situational awareness. Unfortunately, I do it more often than I like to admit to myself. Thanks for sharing this!
righty tighty lefty loosey. about the drivers taking up the whole pad to turn, reminds me of "a task will expand to fit the schedule"
Learning lessons in the field. You will always look for rotation with an auger for the rest of your life. Great location work and filming.
thank you John! I could have easily edited that out but I thought it was interesting
Loving the multi part series
Thank you Richard! I wasn't even planning to video this project as it started out as a cleanup job but I'm glad I did. The best video (I think) is part 4, coming very soon!
Don't screw the auger down into the ground like a corkscrew, and don't reverse it as you withdraw - keep it spinning forward, but only push it in a little at a time, letting the screw pull the dirt to the surface as you go. I think you'll find you make much better progress when you don't have to stop and bang the packed dirt out of the screw, and when you don't reverse out of the hole leaving the dirt behind.
I think you're right! This was a regular flow machine so it wouldn't spin fast enough to throw the dirt off.
I was just going to say this. It was frustrating to watch.
2:36 "Hey, you're goin' in reverse !" Unless there was some heavy-duty editing at this point, it was interesting to see what might be cultural differences here. This Hispanic crew made the correction in a very straight-faced way as though there was a lot of embarrassment to get past. Any crew I ever worked with would probably be laughing and teasing each other at the mistake and our slowness in picking up on what was wrong.
I thought it was pretty funny Steve 👍
Nothing better than great error management! :)
I could tell from the way home boy unloaded the auger off the trailer he wasn't to swift.
Reverse the direction or swap hydraulic hoses
👍👍
Enjoy the videos and work especially the follow ups at the end👍
Thank you!!
Good for aesthetic, but most bollards require a 2' diameter hole, occasionally I see 18" spec'd out. But either way that soil on the top of the hill would give way first on impact, so probably fine as is. Also next time you remove a curb & gutter, you might consider paving a v-gutter where the existing curb's gutter line was to channel the water instead of letting it run centered over a construction joint. Thanks for putting these together, I bet it takes a lot of time to get back for rain footage on every job!
At an older facility, bollards were installed to protect the loading bay door frames as occasionally a truck would clip a roll up door while backing in. Installed bollards, problem solved.
PS - Great to see property manager taking actions to solve outstanding problems
I agree William. I have one more video on this project and the property is looking awesome.
One thing I noticed was the check engine light on the dually. 😁
The extra 15 min per truck trying to line up to the dock is going to pay for itself in no time! And looks amazing, concrete guys do excellent work! And awesome to see an owner investing something long term in their business is how it is done.
Thank you Paul! I have one more video on this project coming up and it's looking fantastic.
Don't feel too bad, it happens to the best of us 😅
1:40 the auger turns the wrong way .
from the Netherlands 🇳🇱 thanks for the video Shawn
You got it Hollandduck!
A big advantage with the bollards, the truck drivers have a visual cue of where the curb is.
Looks good, the yellow makes it Pop.....Thats another huge amount of flow to that basin.
Thank you! I liked the yellow as well. It also looks official to me.
Reverse reverse!! 😂😂😂 That was funny!
Never used an Auger on a piece of equipment like that, but I noticed before you said anything it was going backwards. Also seemed to spin a bit slow, I've always had then throw dirt when you pull it up. I was surprised when the curb when poured it wasn't a lot more aggressive to encourage drivers to stay off, a sign might have worked as well, but those look good
We didn't notice it was going backwards for an embarrassingly long time, that's for sure. This is a standard flow machine so it spins slower than on a high flow.
I'm glad you enjoyed it! - Shawn
That concrete work looks great and you did a really great job of grading and feathering out the dirt also. I know the business owner is really happy with all the work you all have done. Can't wait until the next video.
nice work Shawn and crew!
Lol- I drill helical piles for a living and one of our guys is continually trying to drill them in while spinning the wrong way; it just makes me laugh when I see others doing the same thing.
Bollards are installed upside down, the end with the lip is meant to be on top so the bollard cover can clip on
Gotta spin the right way.
and you nailed it, the rain is draining off the top of the bollards really nicely!!
One thing that is always guaranteed. No matter how much room you give truckers, they will always hop the curb
They make a plastic "big foot" to be put underground at the bottom of a concrete post. I use one as a funnel for the top when pouring concrete into the post top. Zero spillage
Awesome!
Or a road cone with the top cut off.
As soon as I say it spinning I knew it was going backwards lol 😂
I thought he was going to change the direction before he started pushing down. If I was there, I wouldn't have said a word, just laughed my a&& off.
👍👍
Now u got it
👍👍 It took us long enough though!
Those little pipes will not stop a Swift driver!
👍
@@GCFD I'm not saying your work is bad, just that nothing is fool proof to a sufficiently talented fool. 😉🤣
@@mspeir haha plus fools have more experience
Good stuff, and definitely sooner or later a trailer wouldn’t been at the bottom of the slope, with a rookie driver. Looks nice 👍
I actually figured that one out quick! Wrong direction. Thank you for sharing! Another job well done!
A little bit of Paint goes a long way, it is like putting Lipstick on a Pig.
You're drilling in reverse. 👍🏽🤠 02/22/24
Nice job buddy
Thank you Andy!
On the first 2 seconds of the drilling, I could see that it was in reverse. Honest mistake! Nobody's perfect. Job looks pretty good.
Thanks Randy! I could have easily edited that part out of the video but I thought it was part of the story of the day. Ooops!
Thanks for sharing!
That time I was drilling into the wall wondering the same thing..... lol.... reverse.
Left is right, right is left, no 1/4 bubble, no full bubble, oh whatever.
Haha we finally figured it out
I see the Boss Man is still standing up close. He will get caught up one day.
👍
If you buy a post hole auger drive get one with a hex output shaft
Looks to me like the drill is running the wrong way 😂
Chances are the hoses have QD's,(quick disconnects) that have a male and a female on each set so they can only connect one way. Either the operator was pulling the wrong way, or more likely, the rental attachment was set for a different unit.
Interesting video. Love the versatility of the drone and the great angles you can get with it.
Shawn, and the crew Great Job! 👍
Ha Ha, I’m saying he’s digging in a concrete pipe going into the culvert. Lololol nice to see you guys do so much more than you name suggests. Another winner Shawn really enjoy….Bobby L
Thank you Bobby!
Wrong way, suppose to spin towards the right 😂😂🤣🤣 the crew didn't have their morning coffee 😄😄😄
Think it's time to invent the bollard concrete funnel.
Great video Shawn! ( as usual) the way you guys angled the extension was brilliant. Worked like a charm! Keep up the good work! Love to watch
Don't create a flow line on top of a joint. Measure from top of curb to top of bollards Measure from back of curb to get bollards in a straight line. Looks good from my house
In the immortal words of Deadpool. "Maximum Effort"
2:00 turning in the wrong direction 😁
Check engine light on the truck!
Would like to have seen a truck back into those spaces. More so, to the inside hole, when o/s hole is taken. Someone, someday, will park there in a 4 wheeler "just for a moment" and hit those poles. Often people back in watching wheels to curb ignoring overhang and boom!
Thanks for another great video. Thumbs up!
thank you Tom!
I am now satisfied with this job, thank you for the water vid :D
Is it going backwards.
Yep, its turning in the wrong direction
Yep!
1:37 If you want to drill DOWN, it helps if the drill is in Forward, NOT Reverse...
Or so I've been told...
😄😁😆😅😂🤣
We demonstrated that you were told correctly. haha
@@GCFD So you did...
😄😁😆😅😂🤣
First thing I saw. That ain't going anywhere in reverse!
Yep you got it Rico!
Great work! That's a cool little tool. I hope the new dirt is strong enough to hold if a truck bumps one of those poles. They look great!
Truck will push them over, ground is too weak. But they are unlikely to bend so you can just put them back up again.
Drill going the wrong way and when he is drilling he has to keep the drill going when pulling it back out to remove the dirt, so that you will not have loose dirt at the bottom. Which mihgt cause the bollards to sink.
Measure down from the top of the bollards and put some tap on them at the ground level. You can push them into the concrete and when the tape is at ground level the tops will be close to in line. Then finish pour then adjust using your eyes to line through. Where possible on a slope look up hill as looking down hill plays tricks on the eyes.
It's Lefty Loosy and Righty Tighty, even for a right handed auger. I noticed that before you asked.
I'm sure the owner will not agree, but you've created a great little curb grind area for skateboarders.
I would have never known that's how those yellow poles are made. Learned something new. Also, y'all sat there and watched that thing go in reverse for minutes. 🤣
That’s one bollard in the middle that is lower than rest is really bugging me. 😂😂
Antonio made it very clear why project managers have an engineering degree and laborers spin drill bits backwards.
Antonio can work circles around me on that skidsteer. Running a rental tool in reverse was funny for sure.
Thanks for the great laugh 😂
Saw it before you said anything on the video. It’s turning the wrong way. Lol
You saw it way before any of us Andy 👍
Even before you mentioned it, as soon as the auger began to rotate, I said "You're going the wrong way."
1:38... your doing it wrong... Scrrew goes clockwise!!! FWD = DIG, REVERSE = "de-da-de"
Prob hydraulic lines backwards? Not sure if the inlet/outlet is a diffrent fittings or sizes, or the same and just based on how you connect your tool is which way the flow goes.
The drill is going backwards!
1:36 Left Loosey, Righty Tighty. :D
righty diggy
Shawn, Backwards turning LOL
Turn the auger the other direction.
The concrete storm water basin
Nope, we were drilling in reverse. lol
What a good vid. Enjoyed seeing how bollards are placed. The water and drone shots were great too. 👍
As to the error with the drilling...I thought there was something not right about that! And right enough, drilling something the wrong way will not work! So glad you figured it out cos that would have been a very long day doing all those bollards!!! 🤣🤭
PS... don't you think sowing a bunch of wild flowers would look great in that empty plot of land? Wild but a heck of a lot prettier than it is just now and what is was before you cleared it. It was nice to see all the grass you'd sown grown in. 😊
PPS...I just noticed your subscribers are over 37k! Congratulations and well done, Shawn! 😊
18 inch set back next one or ore.. Y distance to wheels on truck stop before wheels hit lol, not fush.. hope it helps
It's spinning the wrong way!
You got it running in reverse
On bobcats theres a foward and reverse just like a close and open for grapples. Theres no way you plug it wrong.
Yep! It also depends on how your hydraulic couplers are installed.
The job came out great! I noticed right away that the auger was spinning in reverse. I didn’t notice until the very end that it was the same job where you installed the drain at the bottom of the hill. Enjoyed both videos! By the way, your check engine light is on!😂
I was today years old when I learned those posts were called Bollards
Haha I wasn't far behind you Ryan!
Hi
Going backward
Put a sign
"You have enough space dont bump curb" 😃
I think this is work better
Hey Mostafa!
Find the machine operator with the most kids, Shawn, and he will be an expert in screwing vs unscrewing.
I find it works best if I run my drill in reverse when installing screws too. :-)
I liked the facepalm moment a little later.
As a side note, I haven't used a post hole digger in a very long time but it seems to be spinning way too slow. I remember dirt flying off the auger when it reaches the surface. I wonder if it's meant for a skid loader with a high speed flow 3rd function?
I can't believe that these guys staring at the moving auger and can't figure it out. New crew is needed. .. Cheers ..
Running in reverse
You got it Mike!
You were going backwards,😂😂😂
When you want to go forward...do not shift into reverse.
Hello from Canada, we need a truck update
Backwards drilling
I'm surprised you didn't get Reflector Tape (Either Yellow, or Red/White) and wrap around the very top and half way on each Bullard. Those little sticks are not going to do anything for the drivers, LOL. As you see about the big black mark on the yellow already.
Counter clockwise
Spinning backwards
You got it Mike!
1:43 rotation direction is opposite.
