I was a pipe layer for 18 yrs, You're 💯% correct Lever Monkey about come out of a manhole wether it's sewer or storm. There were some times you get to your next manhole and you're a tad low,what I would do is go back ( of course if it was a open ditch) & adjust two sticks back so you have a more gentle grade transition. That V bucket is the Stuff.
I like that your ground guys only give you what you need for guidance and nothing more, lol, I’ve had a few over the years that were over zealous to say the least:) I’ve only ever seen v-buckets on TH-cam, looks like it’s a bit faster then benching down, most of the deep stuff I did was in the street with double stacked boxes but I’ve done a few subdivisions where I’d cut 2 benches, one with my 66” “bailing” bucket and another with the 30” to make a safe hole on an 18’ or so cut, I miss doing deep pipe work, with a good crew on the same page there’s nothing better
I really want one of those buckets for my 336 I just don’t even know where to start, but I want to buy one! great video. Glad to see you at it again thanks.
Go for it! It will change your life to dig with one. I will be doing a bucket inspection in a weak or two. I will talk a bit about the trap bucket design, what is good and bad.
@@TheLeverMonkey that sounds great if you could find a brand name and if you could share it, that would be awesome thank you. Keep up the great videos. It’s nice to see someone make good videos in this line of work we do!
I would close the side door but it is a Kobelco. The AC is not working and it was 98* out. As for breathing dust, That is the least toxic thing I have breathed in over my 30 years as an operator.
May be, Besides as a kid I played in the dirt, Raced dirt bikes and a host of other thing done in the dirt. And I am still here brathing just fine. I bet Jeff is a vaper too.
I’m glad that you are able to make videos again, really enjoyed watching and learning from your videos.👍👍👍
Glad you like them! I am happy to be on a job where I can record. Make sure you have the notification turned on.
Interesting! Never seen this type of work explained or even done from that angle. Lots of skill!
Thank you very much!

Jeff is obviously a millennial
@@bozoone4464 wrong d-bag! I’m an operator for over 27 yrs and take precautions now that I didn’t use to. You have no clue wtf you’re talking about
