Just wanted to say as a school teacher here in the uk who cannot self isolate and still goes to look after children, your videos are much appreciated and go a long way to putting a smile on many peoples faces. Thank you.
Great vid! Great cam placement, clear audio, no competing engine noises, no views of half your face, just views of the work with excellent explanations! Many thanks!
Keep up the good work, and keep up the videos. New Zealand is just going into 4 weeks lockdown and watching you and other will help keep our sanity. Thanks guys!
Here we are in the 3rd week of another lockdown and I am working my way through these archives. Derek, I hope you are somewhere in the country other than Auckland.
The grading bucket works great. I need to get one of those swivel couplers. You should check out one of those compactor heads for your mini. Would work great for all the pond overflow pipes you put in.
Yeah bud I completely agree. I really love a compaction wheel attachment for a mini or excavator in general. Hard to find a good video of them working would be an awesome addition to see on the channel for sure!! Always doing backfill and have a quick coupler already?? 🤔 lol
When the audio went out I turned the speakers up. Then right there at the last when you was reviewing the project and the sound came back my speakers were wide open. I shit all in my drawers
stashwax roller Most of what he’s digging there if I remember correctly this is mostly fill dirt which is why the original pipe was so far down in the ground
Largest natural gas pipeline I dug around is 24" and a 20" in the same day, one false move and you could be in deep trouble....lol or first backhoe to the Moon.
Nah, you wouldn't be the first backhoe to the moon... But you would be one of the first ones to take a simultaneous vacation to ALL of your neighbouring States... AKA: Where did he go? Over there , Over there and Up there ...
Love how you take so much pride in your work. No matter how big or small the job you are very professional. Love to watch your videos and thanks for sharing with the world. Are you in the south because I see a lot of that red clay
Fence Tip: Use pliers on the top and bottom of one link, Remove link by "unscrewing" it, then fold (or roll) fence out of your way. when done, thread link back in, and use pliers again to secure the link back.
Look how easy that digging is I don’t see a single rock god damn I’m jealous. My farm is the opposite literally my full size case 580 construction king has trouble out here from time to time because there are more granite rocks the in a quarry it’s awful anyways super jealous of how nice and easy that ground is to work with
Looked like abandonded common concrete/ rodmill capped trench crossing angular to excavation near fence. I hate it when that happens. Rear end snaps shut when the entire area moves. Good day when the irrigation doesn't kick on overnight and sloughs off. Good planning. Few haywires too I'd imagine.
Hey Chris, I'm a big fan from Germany. Nice video as always👍 As there are both Minis in a video right now, I got a short question. I'm thinking about buying me my own mini excavator with around 5 tons and i just wanted to know how happy you guys are with the Yanmar and espacially (because you got a good comparison with the old and the new) how good they are still running after a lot of work? Keep your videos up. I like them, Chris👍👍
@Digginok he does have a backhoe for you to use if you go visit lol. How you doing? I am ok just staying out of trouble. Weelll that depends on who you ask lol. Have good day.

Tim is a smooth operator as well!
Great vid! Great cam placement, clear audio, no competing engine noises, no views of half your face, just views of the work with excellent explanations! Many thanks!
All the jobs I’ve seen you do are always well thought out and the final product always looks so neat when finished.👏🏻👏🏻👍🇨🇦🇺🇸
You sure know all the small tricks of the trade Chris. Years of experience.
Now that's talent, Tim can run the mini-ex standing up & not fall off.
Agree.
yes daddy u have talent
That smooth, tilt bkt has been a handy attachment for you. I bet it's paid for itself. Good video man as usual
Part 1 was a random recommendation. Now I’m here for part 2. Good stuff! Satisfying to watch.
Oh man I was really wanting to see you fill in under and around the fence line. Maybe next time.
Great job as always.
The digging in your area of the country is so much easier than mine, ( New England)
Great digging skills, only wish my soil was that clean.g
Mike M You could not have said it better it’s a nightmare up here Retired union operator digging in Boston all the time now just watching now
Well, this answers the question I had in the last vid. Thanks, Chris and Tim.
a little grass seed when done grow back in the summer time and it will be like you were never there. nice job. you Tim and John stay safe.
Your detail work says a lot. Well done.
Oh !!!! very smooth operating by you two, well done.
I am guess that the phrase "neatness counts" didn't terrify you in school the way it did me! Very nice work, gentlemen.
That utility screwup is my biggest fear, second to maybe digging on an old artillery drop zone land.
Fun times digging under the fence I would have the fence all torn up nice work as expected
Hahaha. Has the student become the teacher!
Always good to have an excellent backup as support
As always an excellent job. Enjoy watching your videos. God Bless
Keep up the good work, and keep up the videos. New Zealand is just going into 4 weeks lockdown and watching you and other will help keep our sanity. Thanks guys!

@@Damoinion Yes. I’m I Timaru, South Island. No cases here, and we have moved to level 2 where we can get most normality back
Chris, with all the work you do Digging stuff up.. HAVE you every found anything that you thought was very Unusual ?
Love using a smooth bucket and tilt for dressing up yards
Good observation about the marking tape. I was thinking the same thing.
Yet another good 'un Chris! :-)
Beautiful finish! Well done! :-)

Sir, do you need TP?
@@flannel872 yea but it's in short supply so o went outside and washed with the hose
@@jasonking2943 Well, the worms should be happy.
@@jasonking2943 you coulda used corn cobs but tose are short in supply too :)
@@Chaplain_GM very true I'd rather use a green pine cone tho
Was amazed at the dirt ! Here in SW Missouri there is 12 inches of top soil and under that 90% rocks and 10% orange clay.
stashwax roller Most of what he’s digging there if I remember correctly this is mostly fill dirt which is why the original pipe was so far down in the ground
stashwax roller more like 4 inches of topsoil in Joplin Mo 🤣
ENJOYED WATCHING THE VIDEO CHRIS 😊
Tim was really on his toes that day wasn’t he?
Beautiful Job! 👍
Great video enjoyed watching
Nice work Chris and Tim !! , From western Chester County Pa , we say Hi !!
What part i have family in west chester Malvern Valley Forge my mom family is from Wayne
The way you set individual stones for rip rap, I almost expected you to reset sod green side up! Lol
I too would not have been surprised.
your other operator really is a stand up guy
yea he's pretty good at looking over the work
Remember that if you can't see what you are doing accidents happen right. You have to be safe!
You guys are doing a great job 😎😎
Nice video, sure beats removing part of that fence.
Largest natural gas pipeline I dug around is 24" and a 20" in the same day, one false move and you could be in deep trouble....lol or first backhoe to the Moon.

Tim standing up operating that mini reminds me of an old backhoe/crane truck operator 🤔🤣😂😅
excelente jod Chris and the litlle Timmy .
Nice video! From south korea
What would these people do in your area if they did not have you to call on. Excellent job sir. Love these videos. Thanks.
Whats better than a YANMAR mini excavator?
Two, YANMAR mini excavators 😄
oldredcoonhound nothing
Nice teaming up with the mini excavators , both on one side nice work Chris and Tim 👌👍
Nice to see both you and Tim working on excavators together.
really nice cleanup
And, more good work !
I wish I could do what you do Chris
Yeah, but that old machine is still faster than a shovel.
this is what dry dirt looks like. my cat machines are all on lock down do to mud and a little more mud here in Mississippi
Cant run my skid either
Michael Pounders currently thundering and raining now.
@@bluefox2147 ha yeah and cold
Love how you take so much pride in your work. No matter how big or small the job you are very professional. Love to watch your videos and thanks for sharing with the world. Are you in the south because I see a lot of that red clay
Awesome video thank you
Excavator limbo. How low can you go ..... 🎸🎶🎹 ♫.
Limbo rock .... Chubby Checker
Then you get 10 inches of rain and come back to see the water arching out of the new pipe... LOL
Until the original pipe is capped off it is still in place and working.
You didn't show grouting in the pipe at the manhole, then I panicked when I saw Tim up there back-filling it (6:30). I hope you didn't forget.
Good job
@BladeArtist 205 Yes, but he's bagged his place near the top of the comments, and can come back and edit later. 😉
Beau boulot 👏👏👏
Good job
Comme d'habitude ✌✌✌
As usual
Nice!
Good looking job
It must be nice to dig in dirt! The last couple of years have been all rock for us. It’s a rock saw or hammer
Or the Mythhbusters approved method: Drill and LOTS of C4...
Jamie not the only one that want's BIG BOOM...
Nice job
Just a question, what happens to the surplus soil after the back fill is topped off?.
Fence Tip: Use pliers on the top and bottom of one link, Remove link by "unscrewing" it, then fold (or roll) fence out of your way. when done, thread link back in, and use pliers again to secure the link back.
Some nice quicky! ;-)
Look at timmy go learning from the master is showing in his skills
They may be small , but they can really move some dirt for their size
Nice!!

Wow you are surgical w/ that bucket!
cool!
Hey Chris, Ya lost sound at 20:19 and it came back on at 26:10 !! Great as always Man.... Til the next... Have a Great Evening !! Stay Safe....

yeah the camera messed up and I forgot to add music haha 11 pm editing LOL
Oh man,I was so waiting for the concrete truck to come and pump that old pipe full!!
thats later this week
Gas up the lawn mower .. love it !

Aww man. I wanted to see the concrete part.
Doesn't wiggle as much - lol - "Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle, wiggle, wiggle, yo..."
🌹🌹
Hope you show the concert work
dueling Mini's add some banjo music with its a party lol
Bet you could pick a tick off a dog with the excavator! What a skill set you have !
Teamwork to the MAX!! ⛏👊👍❤️️ P. S. If I bought a mini, it would be a Yanmar....they rule!
think you for not playing LOUD ass music i prefer the sound of the machines any day
Can't wait for the experts to show up in the comments. Especially the Europeans.
Getting wet just of thinking about them?
Well they have been digging holes for thousands of years more than the Americans.
@@sydneyshinshi Good one M.M., although, we know that does not make them experts. We Americans have improved on their methods for a very long time.
We, europeans, just do things different. The outcome are pretty much the same.
@@specialks1953 I was only joking mate, a hole is a hole is a hole. All the best from Oz
I think you do it for fun than the money I ask God to keep the jobs coming to you so we can keep getting good videos
how many of you did your own voice over during the missing audio section? :)
hi Chris great video as usual. i am no expert but on min 23 25 sec it looks like you buried one of those civil war parrot shells,
How long will the new pipe last?
That’s how u dig under a fence boys and girls
What size bucket you running on those?
I wonder why you didnt use the same pipe but the kind with the smooth inner liner? Was there a reason?
I'm curious what the cost of doing something like this would be.
Please tell us what happened to Charlie from copperhead marine?
Does the green line on the pipes serve a purpose?

It must be great to have easy soil to dig. Not a lot of rock an hard pan.
Throw some grass seed and straw, water well, and in three weeks they will never know you were there!
C A L L B E F O R E Y O U D I G ! we don't have XRAY eyes .
This channel needs more backhoe!!!
Or big aurse Cherokee county flint rocks.
haha I just got 4 cylinders repacked on it, maybe I should go use it
letsdig18 nice ! I’m gonna hold ya to it
@Digginok he does have a backhoe for you to use if you go visit lol.
How you doing? I am ok just staying out of trouble. Weelll that depends on who you ask lol.
Have good day.
@@letsdig18 don't let Frank give you to much flack lol.
