    I think the thing that stands out for me is how smooth and relaxed this operator is and that’s just got to be skill.

    Nicely done. Always like to see the top and sides of of the trench getting cleaned before moving on 👍

    Thanks for sharing. I have been renting minis for awhile for work around the farm. I had no experience or training and recently was curious about my technique (or lack thereof) figured there would be some good TH-cam info for technique and this one is great. Awesome how smooth and precise you are moving in and out of the trench with clean up along the way. On my property I can't touch the soil without a bucket full of rocks, from gravel to mommas that are easily 600-1000 lbs or better. Great help, thanks.

      Ima target2000 if your working on a farm separate topsoil from spill in a row behind spill it takes thousands of years to make good topsoil.

    i find with new guys they constantly dg from the bottom up... instead of taking the trench down in stages. it just means a cleaner trench and much easier on the machine.
    its kind of like when shovelling from a pile of sand, you see people taking every shovel from the bottom and lifting it into the barrow. might as well take it from the top while you can and go straight across to the barrow...
    hope that analogy makes some sense

      Especially when doing larger and wider cuts , say your cut is 15 feet deep and your scooping from the bottom every scoop it’s as if you were cutting at 15 feet the entire time if that makes sense

    you need 2ft minimum from edge of trench to edge/beginning of spoil pile. 6" is not adequate or legal. Don't train to keep your spoil too close to trench!!

      How would you recommend digging a basement that's roughly 35x40. I have 2 proficiencies to pass. 1 is digging a basement in 2 hours and 3 spill piles but all 4 corners exposed. Then digging a V ditch which you explained in one of your videos already

      If you don't know someone working for a particular company it's not easy you will just have to put in resumes until you get lucky.join groups like western canadian pipelines on Facebook people put job opportunities on there all the time.hope that helps.

    Hello Barry.
    Thanks for your “how to” videos.
    I got a upcoming digging project:
    Its a 9 deep trench ( about frost in the Yukon Territory) around 30 feet long, and around 2 -3 feet wide
    for a water pipe to a new house.
    To make it as (worker) safe as possible, how you would dig that?
    I thougth to make a slope all the way down to the bottom.
    I have only a Massey Ferguson Backhoe to dig.
    Thanks in advance.

    • @manhoer

    • @manhoer
      @manhoer  ปีที่แล้ว

      Rules have changed alot since this video was made back then unless someone was going in the ditch you could have the spill right next to it.now it must be 1.2m back everywhere.

  • @danielwhite4825
    @danielwhite4825 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    Well OSHA regs. say your spoil must be a min. of 24" from the trench....and speed is all of it combined...or your "cycle time" ( from bucket dig position in trench to dump and back to that position you started ....usually around 9 to 13 seconds

    • @manhoer
      @manhoer  7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Daniel White in Alberta Canada your spill must be 1m back from the edge of the ditch but only if someone is going into that ditch in this video I am digging mainline ditch where no one has to enter.

    • @Deere2154D
      @Deere2154D 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Barry Kozdrowski that's not entirely true. Also depends on depth as well. But yes for a trench like you are digging you could put your spoil pile right on the edge if you wanted. That's oh&s we not have osha or msha up her

    • @davidowen1259
      @davidowen1259 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      depends on the size of the machine as to 'cycle time ' .. my smaller machine is way quicker than 9 seconds.. depending on the type of soil/depth etc... and who gives a fuck about ohsa regs..

    • @manhoer
      @manhoer  5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      craydul if you are just following the cut just keep your same grade pay attention to the same pin if you're grading through the cut it's a little bit more difficult let me know what you mean and maybe I can help if not try watching my video how to dig ditch on my channel that might give you some ideas

    • @slicksloth_416
      @slicksloth_416 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Barry Kozdrowski right know im grading for a street that’s 800Ft i could keep grade if i had a string line on both sides but they haven’t put the grade stakes yet so i have to follow the grade in front of me thats below the existing concrete whenever i do follow it, it seems my grade starts to come up im trying to keep it fairly even, thanks for replying back.

    • @manhoer
      @manhoer  5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Now they do but at the time this video was made you only had to have the spill 1m away if someone was going to enter the ditch in that area.this was mainline ditch so no one was going in.now it has to be 1m away everywhere.

      When this video was made you only needed 1m (3ft) in areas people were going to enter this was mainline ditch so it was not necessary. Since then rules have changed and now all spill must be back 1.2m (4ft) from edge of ditch in Canada.
