Way to go Sarah for taking care of the equipement. Shows your character and pride in whatever task your doing.
She will never have sex with you.
Hands down the best job I've ever had....being alone in that cab.. listening to some good music, perfect job for a person who likes to work alone.
The road idea was called a "corduroy road" 200 years ago and was a common way to create a road in wilderness areas until enough people moved in to maintain it. There is also archaeological evidence they were used in north Europe around 2,000 years ago, too. It makes sense they would use them in your situation.
No it wasn't. Corduroy roads weren't built like that. They were rough-cut logs laid transversely and also laterally across across loamy and wet areas, not to prevent damaging the land but to resist wagons and other vehicles from sinking into the loosened soil created by hooved and wheeled traffic. The logs were intended to sink into the soil and form a compacted area. As traffic did this,additional layers would be added until sinking stopped. The texture created by the rounded logs resembled corduroy cloth.
This is construction matting, temporary access for heavy construction equipment and the material is very likely to be removed and relocated as the work progresses to the consecutive construction areas.
The closest equivalent in modern history to this mat construction were pedestrian boardwalks adjacent to unpaved roads where lumber was more economic to use than stone or gravel, as in some towns in the American west, and for light vehicle traffic, as planked roads.
It was done by the fucking electric company servicing those huge powerlines in the middle of the fucking picture. Brainiac.
@pschmied6721 I humbly disagree that I am incorrect. :) I chose to make a simple observation that could be researched by curious readers more interested in farming than road construction, since the channel is mainly about farming.
@@alabamatechwriter6959 you are correct about how roads use to be constructed around the world. But in this case you are incorrect and really fucking anal. The electric company built that fucking road. To insure their vehicles needed to service the fucking powerlines didn't sink in the fucking mud.
@@alabamatechwriter6959 This is a temporary plank road made from matting, not a corduroy road. A more permanent plank road would include spacers, bull rails, and horizontally laid mud sills, but this is a temporary plank road meant to be pulled up again. P Schmied is correct. We use them in the farmlands and some marshlands while working on lines. Since you're more interested in road construction than farming, a corduroy road is logs, a plank road is flat board. This is flat board. This is a plank road. I don't understand how you disagree. He explained it perfectly. This just isn't a corduroy road. Full stop.
P Schmied is a bit off re: closest equivalent being boardwalks. The closest equivalent to plank roads are plank roads. It may be fair to say that the closest pedestrian equivalent to plank roads is a boardwalk, but not that boardwalks are the closest equivalent to plank roads. Logging towns and communities all over the South and throughout the Appalachias used them as main thouroughfare for years and years. Plank road was historically the more common road construction method used throughout my state. The main US highway where I live was once called Jerusalem Plank Road and was quite literally a plank road for miles and miles. All of the surrounding roads in the area were plank roads. This is a plank road.
Yea, I'd have had to see how fast I could go too. I have those same wooden poles across one farm. About fifteen years ago they replaced the bottoms of the poles with concrete to about fifteen feet up. It was a hell of an operation with the biggest cranes I've ever seen. We had that same kind of road through the fields.
Best regards from Indiana.
Gv😮nmm,..o😮😮😢😊😊😊
'Workin' dirt'..this video reminds me of the summer I spent working part-time for a local farmer after I retired from full-time employment. When I wasn't making produce deliveries for them..they'd put me on a tractor and I'd disk up fields and cultivate crop fields..it was so relaxing and satisfying work the end result was fields full of crops.
Sara tried bless her heart. Such a great pleasure watching ya family working together In running a business. Thank you for such great videos
Im a auto shop owner. I always explain to people about oil changes and following "Manufacturer recommendations" which is when the dash says to change oil. Most vehicles will allow you to go 10k + between changes. Also manufacturers want to sell you another car or truck before 100k Im sure equipment is same way.
Wow, they have some money tied up in those mats. Them babies aren't cheap. You have a good outfit there andy. I deeply appreciate what your family business does for our country. Thank you.
Great video Andy. Knowing what we do about Deere Reman engines, I would have cut the oil filter open and checked it for pieces of bearings and crankshaft 😂
You had just enough rain to settle the dust. 😊
Great job Andy! Glad you have responsible kids..... I'm sure you're very proud dad, husband and farmer.
Wow we all do love our power! How many acres does that impact for you ? Definitely not 30 mph road!
Thanks for a nother great video!
2nd thumbs up for Wales, UK.Good video, haven't seen it yet but I think it will be a good one, always is.Thanks Andy & co.
Beautiful country where you are! Few people today know that prior to 1860 and into the early part of the 1900s most "paved" roads were actually plank roads. In Mississippi where I live there was an area between Canton, Miss. and Yazoo City which had so many severed drops and swamps that a plank road was built all the way, some 26 miles. If you look at old photos taken during the time Ive mentioned, there are not many woods or forests where it was fairly easy for people to live because wood was used for everything, roads, rail fences, building any structure, and of course, were I am talking about, there is no coal so all fires were wood. By 1860s though, the steam boats began hauling coal and so coal was introduced for industry and home heating and houses with wood fireplaces were altered with attractive grates and inserts to close up all the space which wood fireplaces needed but not coal.
Those wood mats can be reused, but if it was the Federal government, the would require that those mats be destroyed afterward, such is the waste of federal projects and a bottomless pocket book.
There is the remains of a plank road through the northern Sonora Desert in California a bit north of the U.S./Mexico border too. Pioneer built.
Andy, we had the same mats along the right away of the road for 4 rural counties here in NE rural Ohio, last year it was to replaces all the poles. The new ones were sandwiched together 4xs and tapered at top, extra tall and way stronger. They said they were doing to bring extra/demanding power ( plus grid ) cuz of all new construction in rural area, it took them a whole year.
Ditto in NY, common to put down the wood. They do have a right of way, so they have the right.
I give a low bow to the young woman learning to farm 🙏
I just want to congratulate this young lady on her fine work ethic.
Thanks good human.
Maybe send a sample of that oil for analysis because fresh rebuild?
Andy I know your fully aware of how lucky you are with those kids. Girls and Boys. Worth a million. Even after taxes
Another great video! Thanks for taking the time to put this together for us.
I originally thought this was a farming sim video lol. That's an awesome tractor. People don't really appreciate the sheer size of this equipment and what it takes to keep them up. Great video!
Welcome to the club!
You're now a Mat Road Trucker. 🤟🏽🐻
Andy I know it makes you proud to know Sarah is mindful enough to know the tractor needs a oil change taking care of your equipment. 🍻
I can’t imagine the cost of all that matting for the power line. The power bills reflect their impute costs.
They put in a new power line in up here in northern Mn and they brought these pass in by the rail car load then transferred to semis so they could cross the swamps, they had to hold up large bucket trucks and semis hauling the equipment that went into the in ground structures to hold up the metal structure and anchor points! The main metal structure for the lines were flown in by helo as well as stringing the lines by helo also, very impressive to watch!
Where in northern Minnesota did they do this and when? I'm in Lake County.
@@adelechicken6356 power line came across hey 71 north of big falls and there’s another south of big falls that has been there for quite awhile!
A fellow Minnesotan here. Have they left their road & if so, do they plan to come in and remove it? The reason I ask is because there’s a plan to run underground pipelines through private properties to move captured carbon gas to underground storage. This is part of meeting the zero carbon goal. So, if they’ve left it behind,I’m wondering if they’re planning to use it again. Have you heard of this before? You might want to look into it. Let me know if you have trouble finding the info. Maybe I can find the link again.
@@Asti.pronouncedAhstee they removed the wooden pads after power line was erected
@@dannyharris7218 glad to hear it. Then if it’s going to happen, it’s not anytime soon. Enjoy the rest of this lovely Memorial Day!
That crazy how long that is. Awesome video Andy
Thanks for sharing your thoughts, ideas and videos. I was wondering where the transmission upgrade near Syracuse was happening, over the winter I noticed the huge piles of Timbers being stockpiled. Since I retired the company I worked at is very tight lipped of any information and were expectedly ignorant when I asked where it was talking place. 😂 just have to watch TH-cam and you will have the information.
They will probably put more of the crane mats down depending on where they will be setting up their bucket trucks and yea the kick outs are for turning around or possibly for the four drum units they use for pulling in new conductors ,,, probably will demo the wooden H beam tower and put up steel press together poles to erect new H beams kinda surprised they aren't using track buckets to access the lines but who knows ,,, it is cool when they string up the sheaves on the structures and fly the lines in off the four drums with the helicopters tho
I lived on an Island, when they ran new telecommunication lines, they used clydesdale horses and canoes to cross the fields and swamps, it was fun to watch.
The power company did a great job. In the long run it can save them time and money in wet weather.
We have a 115Kva line 2/3 of a mile from our place on twin wood poles like yours.
This summer everything comes out for a new 345Kva on a single metal pole.
ITC is doing the job.
Getting closer to planting! Spilled oil and grease helps to seal the concrete shop floors...
I always enjoy seeing your spring tillage videos with the Landoll coulter chisels.
Thanks
Hi Andy !
8360 first ride whit the boss ripping and spinning , first feeling ,
love it .ELHO Scorpio 710 stone picker for picking rock on you tube it looks very good but i do not known the price of that ELHO SCORPO 710 but i known now what is the result whit the chopper and rocks .
Thanks Andy for your time and have a good day !
We called these roads "corduroy roads" in Michigan, "plank roads" in Missouri. In Missouri, we also had "rock roads", and "gravel roads".
Enjoy watching your videos Andy .
Hi there, so this road covers a few acres in all and pases through your best crop so just compensation for your loss is due even if they clean up properly and don't disturb any extra crop while removing this road , I'd still bill them for your loss they won't give you any discount or reduced service fee etc
Man I wish I worked for someone with this kind of energy! I would love coming to work!
Thanks Andy nice job top team awesome 😎
Sarah loves that big tractor and.really takes care of it. Great video.
That is alot of wood and a lot of work to put that road in. People that complain about their power bill have no clue what it cost to keep the light on.
Yeah those mats get expensive, and take time to build.
I actually build mats, and these are what we call flush mats, since they don't have notches cut on the sides for chains to hook the bolts.
And they can get pretty big, I have seen them as 40 ft long.
The pads out mid span are to remove the spacers. The poles are probably 80 feet. The rule of thumb is 10% +2 ft. So (80x.01) +2=10 feet in the ground.
Should get awesome traction with the new tires! Great video safe farming a
Yep. Saw & seeing more power infrastructure being built in area. Construction zones look the same. In one area, wooden poles were used until the transmission line had to make a turn. The used the hollow steel poles to withstand the torquing.
I've never seem them build a full length road like that but it does makes sense. Those wood tiles will kill the vegetation but the vehicles that will be driving over those tiles would literally destroy the Earth. The weight mostly pushes all the soil away till you hit rock. Afterwards when they remove the tiles it will be flattened but the land can be reseeded and used again fully.
Pipeline companies use these mats to protect the ground from erosion. Once the mat is removed, the vegetation will grow back.
Another good video Andy KEEP THEM COMING 🐄 🚜 🇺🇲 🌽🐘👍
That scrap disc looks like it would fit my original Ferguson two-disc plow 😂
This is the most fascinating channel on TH-cam to me. Your operation is amazing. Very much appreciate the explainations.
Hard to imagine how much those mats cost. Good thing it was a company and not the government doing it. Sarah is such an impressive young lady. You did a great job raising her. Wishing your family all the best.
Sarah will never have sex with you.
we got a company out where i live that builds these mats, solid oak - 2x8x 12ft, they build these ones 3 deep and they are strong af.
They get repaired and reused. I saw the power company use mats made from recycled plastic once on a 50 mile project. But they made a huge mess of chunks and pellets that I think pissed off farmers. The hollow insides of the mats looked like half melted beads of grocery bags not quite fused together. I have only seen wood mats used since then.
That is a lot of timber in that temp hydro road . That is some project just to do setup for pole line change out. No body like change and inconvenience , but as you say , " we like or HYDRO " be looking for updates !
They bad roads like this in the early days for real roads out somewhere in California, was an interesting program I watched.
Great job andy and sarah enjoyed the video thanks andy
Nice to see them using mats. Do not recall that being done around here. Unless soils suspect. And then likely where the crane is working.
Have seen them stringing with helicopters over swamp areas though.
Those railway looking ties go all the way to Mohawk ,Ilion ,Litchfield area too. No idea where you guys are located but I'm thinking that wooden road goes a long dang way
I thank the Lord first for all the farmers; I love to eat, wear cotton clothes, and benefit from all the other farm products and industry. Thanks guys!
Enjoy the video 📹 Andy Sara = ROCK STAR.
Board roads are common in the oil fields. They lay them to move the heavy equipment to the drill site. Once the well is completed, the boards are moved to the next drill site. If a well is made, a permanent road is built in to the well site.
Ya should put remote drain kits on the tractor well worth the investment. We got them on most of our big mining equipment, no more spilling or dicking around with 5 gallon pales... just plug in a quick connect and suck it all out...
Those extra bits on the wooden road:
Maybe that's intermediate storage for the wood. To get it closer to the live end of the road.
Cool clip, thanks for posting these. I hope you get some compensation for the lost crop yield. Since it's probably an SOP for the utility they may have a form for the request. Maybe it would cover a dinner out with Sarah. I'm sure you've thought it through already.
Same was done up here few years ago.they replaced the poles and powerlines. Must be for something bigger and better.
15:00 they've actually done the same thing on my property, except they put in a really nice convenient rock road. Don't believe the time frame estimate for how long they'll be there. I don't know how reliable your area's power company is with schedules, but ours have been at it on and off for almost half a year now.
I know the way our lease agreement was set up with the utilities that went through our farm. They have to compensate us for the amount of square footage they take up with these roads because like you said it's obviously lost crop.
A corduroy road, old time term . And an old time way to deal with mud .
'Through the field,' as it is very difficult to throw a field 😂😅✌️.
I have a 166k Tennessee Valley Authority line and a 44k line across my pasture here in North Ms. They sometimes leave a couple poles for my projects. Hate to tell ya'll, but my $80 power bill may get up to $130 when we start using our heat pump for ac. We also have natural gas for heat. Pickwick Dam and Wilson Dam both on the Tn River are 25 miles and 40 miles away. Guess how I vote. I enjoyed your video, but don't be surprised when a lady changes oil without a mess.😊
those mats sure are interesting.
We had them go through our area last year and they put a single steel pole up. They also put culverts with rock on top at the highway crossing. You might get poles. They cut the poles 4-5 ft high
Oh What a differnce since the Hydro came : ) thats alot of forests to make that roadway it is! Careful wood is extremly slippery when Wet! had a spill or few on My Bike on wooden decked bridges and pathways
Good luck with the power company "schedule". Unless contractors are docked for delays, nothing is ever on schedule.😮
Andy ,plowin out in Bville!
It's always worth my time to watch your videos. I read an interesting article today on using spoiled milk to make high-tech fabric. Who would have thunk it. It's a far better use for it than what I put in my coffee this morning. Chunky, yum. Not! Keep it real Andy. ✌️
Sarah loosened the filter a bit for you to take off lol
They have a fortune tied up in those mats. They just did two jobs here a couple of years ago from one town to another, ( one about 18 miles and the other better then 30 with high voltage power lines . Put in metal poles on concrete pilings for those jobs
We got that going on in SW Wisconsin though ITC and ATC just about got all them in then just finish wiring them up. ATC got even more The projects in the state and of course we got solar farms happing in what was good farmland
This is incredible
I used to live on a farm we had a big chicken farm but I never seen nothing like that before. We really didn't have no big power lines going through our property. I miss that Old farm though. I can't stand living in the city. 💯👍🐟👋👋👋👋👋👋👋
That is A LOT of planking for their roadbed! Wonder where they store all that when it isn't in use? Good video though!
Fixing to have to replace the upper right a arm and ball joint on the right side tie rod too on our 360. I haven't seen this job done nor have I done it before, hopefully it isn't too bad
They were running out of mats for those other jobs and finally pulled all the ones from our farm.
When removing oil filter after slackening it get a suitable size plastic bag to fit over it and then finish removing filter and spillage will be contained I bag.
Deere recommended oil change interval on that engine is 500 hours.
The power company must have a large forest to supply all the timber for that road. Surprised they are replacing wood polls with galvanized steel structural members.
I saw some of this happening in Indiana too.
That's the 3rd engine in the 9560. John Deere used to make engines and transmissions that would last 20.000 hours... a thing from the past
A friend I run a combine for in my spare time runs 2 x9 1100’s with 12 rows. He averages probably 275 bu/a so he hires a lot of trucks. He tells the new ones if you have a pet cock put a plug in it!! Every year one pulls into the field a corn stock opens it a ruins their motor.
Good video
Will the electric supply contractors have to install traffic lights on their wooden road?
Wow, and I thought my truck used a lot of oil. You must recycle a lot of it. There must be some place to take it.
We burn it
Ones on side might be parking/turn around/passing lane
They're doing the same here in south Florida rn.
Bring your bike over and do some wheelies, over there on 'lumber road'!
All of those cross-ties new go for about anywhere from 50 to $80 a piece now on the market if you buy them from The sawmill what they cost😮
We literally have a road named "Plank Road" in out community that was built through the forest as the land was cleared in the 1800s. It was built by a steam driven tractor/sawmill to tie the
earliest oilfields in North America to a freshwater port.
Snow fence with spring and summer on the way
A serious amount timber in all that ! Surely floatation tyres on the equipment to be used would be a better way and more than adequate environmentally ( given the fuel inbound and outbound with those timber mats ) ! !
S
Looking good boss man
They got alot of time & money in the timbers alone. Then add that again in the actual building of the road and when done add or again to take it all out. Expensive process to provide electricity.
Andy I don't know if you watch other creators on TH-cam but let's dig 18 does excavator work building ponds, clearing land and stumps... sometimes when he dreges out ponds it's too muddy to support the weight of his track loader so he uses mats just like they have on the power line road
Sure took a boatload of timbers to make that access road!!! Hope its not a long-term interruption for your farming activities.
Andy- is there a fuel cost benefit to running bigger tractors that aren’t under full load vs smaller tractor at max load?
It’s all relative
Those are called crane mats . We used to use them a lot in the pipeline business . ...... Used to.
Those may be turn around areas.
