Mrs Paydirt and I are watching you, she wanted to know how you do such pretty trenches, I said frank is narrating and Beck is operating.................hehe
Nice machine positioning Frank. Lotta guys would have killed the edge of the ditch straddling it like that. Can't wait to see your new quick coupler. Gotta be better than what Case gave us on the N series backhoes.
Frank nice job and enjoy watching your adventures in excavating with the NH backhoe. I’m an engineer with 40 years under my belt and sometimes footing keyways are necessary to provide adequate code-required sliding resistance for cantilevered reinforced concrete retaining walls. It’s that or you would need to increase the footing width an intolerable amount to provide the required sliding resistance utilizing the available frictional force development between the bottom of footing and the excavated soil surface. I agree with you though - it does suck to have to construct footing keyways.
Thanks! I do appreciate you watching, and yeah I get the engineering side too. My Friend Dave Bird is always schooling me on soil engineering. The more you guys put into them footings the more money I make, so keep it up!
I'm not 100% sure, I think it could be an unloading valve that may need some attention. It has been doing it for some time now. But it is kind of intermittent.

Dang it! Don’t tell everyone Jeff!!!

Thanks! I can’t wait either, they said 3 weeks lead time 5 weeks ago 😂

That sensor is cool, I'm going to have to look into one of those.
I like mine a lot! thanks for watching
You said Sstraddle this hole

What’s the hydraulic squeal we hear during digging

Rubbing on the Walls ain't good. . .lol
Sorry I strayed into the Paydirt mentality with my walls comment

Well you can't have an easy ride all the time. I guess they'll have to get someone in with a big ripper to bust out the hard stuff.
Yeah the guy that hired me has a big excavator, I"m sure he can get it sorted out. It's still pretty easy!
Using all the stick on that one. Definitely not worth destroying a bucket.
Yep!
