I saw there was a rock earlier in the video... saw the ground lift up. Bummers, such clean, precise work. Awesome to watch
Thanks 👍
Yeah we all did, still props bro!
the wobble in that bucket would drive me crazy !
You get use to it.
Your doin a great job Makin these videos I'm actually going to watch this one over. Keep up the good work bud.
Awesome, thank you! I will have part 2 out next week. Hoping to finish it mid week.
Love the mirror on your machine. LoL. Great video.👍
😊 thank you
Amazing work as always 👌🏼
Thank you sir.
Awesome work man, that was a good video, look forward to the next video 💪💪🇺🇸🇺🇸
Thanks 👍
Another great video. One of our mainline operators we rented a zero clearance excavator, he didn't like it because it was to rocky ( rock & forth ) , I don't know & didn't see it just repeating what he said. Quick changes are nice.
It is very common for zero swings to rock. they don't have enough counterweight in the back. It moves the center of gravity to the front of the rig. It is annoying.
@@TheLeverMonkey yes sir you are 100% correct.
Bigger bucket!!
You would hate to see our trenches on the rock job bringing 1000 ft of new water main up the paved road!
I have Been in much worse conditions with rock.
good work!!!
Thanks.
Just remember that one golden saying @5:25 “you’ll have that on them big jobs.”
Nice!!!
Thanks!
Enjoyed your videos.
Sad you got (kind of) shut down by the company. But, somehow i could see that coming with these "bigger" companies. Especially when Lawyers get involved and ramifications of video-ing other workers/employees (ie. incase of an accident-tough that might help u & any worker).
Anyway, hope your able to do some more "actual " work video's in the future like "Diesel & Iron".
I was thinking of starting doing a live streem once or twice a month.
Liked the vid. I'da hollered at the driver and never gestured with machine. As far as the sprinkler goes, you touch it you broke it...
Even If we know they are there we will just take them out to speed things along and replace them after.
26:20 You're not shitting man. I hate that so much. There is a job literally 10 minutes from my house, and where do I get sent? An hour and a half away. Because no one else has any time on a wheel compactor.
Happens all the time.
Good video.
Thanks
👍
Thanks
In order to dig vertical walls, I have to back up just like you did.
I have a 101 bucket video in the works.
Is The other pipe on top of your main a lateral that goes to the old main can’t be water looks like SDR 35 8 or 6 in?
That was a repair to the old line so we culd go back to gravity if needed. the old line was in the top of our pipe so we made room by making it smaller. The old line will be filled with slury at a later time.
i work construction to up here in maine
Nice work! But man that machine is banged out😂 Are you on any of the socials?
Not on any socials at this time but going to go to instagram. I will post up when it happens.
Not a bad thing not being on there😂
The guy really shouldn't be standing in the swing pattern between hole and truck when loading wish they let people use. GIFs on here
you shuld add a time stamp so we can go tothe point of the video you are talking about.
Question how long does it normally take say the city to dig a man hole? I'm swapping from septic to city sewer and payed them for the manhole and tap over a month ago they had a Crew out for 1 morning 4 or 5 guys to dig 2 small holes and spray paint some line markers just curious to see if this is way to long to wait?
I will get to your question tonight. I have questions for you and a lot of information to give you. Family thing right now.
Good deal
So this is a bit of reply and I would like to make a video on this matter. It can be a complex answer that needs a long explanation. You can send some more information to me @ Shane@digitalcombatmercenaries.com
what region you are in? Any information you can give me on your contact with the city. Can I use your name in the video? how far is your house from the city sewer system? Do you know if the phone lines are underground or on poles the same question as the cable TV/gas lines in the area. If willing your address so I can get an overhead view of your property. Or you can google it yourself and send a screenshot of your property. Any information you can send will help with the explanation.
Sent you an email
You should do a you tube video working in small area that job looks tight
Check out my other videos. I have some already.
And you can’t speak Spanish yet? Dam I had to learn fast because all my guys half of them didn’t know English and I know they were always talking bad behind my back calling me a cabron making jokes till I finally learned Spanish even married me a spanish Señorita now she is the one calling me a cabron!! hahaha Great manhole video!!! I wouldn’t of changed or said anything different!!!!👍🏻👍🏻
I know enough to keep them in check. there are the days they love and ones they hate me. Goes both ways.
@@TheLeverMonkey Same, its a love hate relationship. Your Hector is like my Antonio I can see Hector knows his stuff and seems like a great hand same with Antonio. I loved the video and I’m so glad you’re doing it because I want people to see what we do and it’s not easy work. I think you are the only one on TH-cam that actually has a pipelaying channel so that’s great I know the videos are hard to make people don’t realize because I have a friend that makes them and he said it’s exhausting. Great video can’t wait for part two keep up the good work be safe thanks!!!
I’ve noticed that most of the work you do is transmission mains so I assume you don’t do any sewer laterals or water services on most of your jobs?
It depends on the job. The last one was a housing track before I started the recording for the channel. Lots of services on that one.
I got ya! But hey man keep up the good work really do enjoy the videos!
It’s cool to see how people in different parts of the country do things
You tell the excavator buying guy hey Deere makes or Hitachi makes a 345 zero swing the biggest of it's kind
No chance of that happpening.
@LionelRichiesCrackpipe no it's not
@LionelRichiesCrackpipe that has like a 250 Volvo boom stick and bucket
@LionelRichiesCrackpipe the Deere 345 uses the 350d boom and stick and bucket and is capable of lifting the same stuff as the 350 deere
You should do a live day of work on twitch that could bring more following on here
Not a bad idea. but would not work on this site as there is no service in the area.
Is this a T&M job ?
Nop.
That stick needs line board bad
And some shims
👍
Thanks for the watch.
