If you're new to the channel, Welcome! If you're already a subscriber, thank you for coming back for more!! - David
Very nice! Thank you for sharing my friend
You're very welcome! Thanks for watching 😀
amazing work, thanks for sharing
Great job with the emergency water diversion!
Thank you Chad!
Well done job...amazing video thanks for sharing
Thank you! Cheers!
Awesome video and good sharing my friend again 💖💖
It is times that this, when an emergency comes up, where we can all agree that we are glad we have equipment to do the job! And do it easier than by hand! Great job David!! Another awesome video!
I agree 100%! I would still be out there if all I had was a shovel and a garden rake. LOL Thank you my friends!
Great info-awesome video
Thank you! I appreciate you watching, Dave! - David
They say a man's home is his castle, I bet you did not think yours would come with a moat! Great job both of you! That tractor is paying for itself. Love you all tons.
Hey she wanted a moat! LOL Thanks Yvonne :)
That's really cool and interesting vidz my friend. Keep it up and more vidz to come.
This video is really interesting 👍🏻
Good work! I know all about the struggles of runoff control. We are constantly battling all of the water running off the hill behind our place.
And that's a BIG hill man. Where I grew up, it's a mountain. Take care, Lucas!
Nice job.. Thank god for heavy equipment! 😉
Right?! I can't imagine how long that would have taken with just a garden rake and my old back! LOL Thanks for watching!
It's no fun doing the "has to be done now" jobs to avert or recover from disaster... but a man never backs down from an opportunity to get on the tractor LOL. Good work, Mr. David.
Originally my wife said "Where's the shovel?" and I said, I'll be right back. On my tractor of course, LOL. Thanks for watching, buddy.
I'm glad you were able to catch it before any damage was done. Good video David.
Us too LOL Thanks for watching Case! 😀
Great work! I love my grapple at home, once you get one you couldn't imagine using your tractor without, plus is makes you feel like a boss.
Thank you very much! You are totally right I don't know what I would do without my grapple. Thank you for watching!
enjoyed... have a wonderful day to you
Thank you! You too!
That was a lot of water 😳, you did a great job. I would have been freaking out also. At least you were able to get the water flowing away from the house. Have a great DRY weekend David 🙂🙋🏼♂️👍🏻
Yes it was! The melting snow added to the rainfall was just too much. I appreciate you watching and commenting, Luc. Have a great weekend!
Glade to see you were able to tack care of that water problem David. Stay safe and warm. Later
Thank you, Mech! Take care, sir!
There I was planning my question "but where is the water gonna' go?", then you snuck in at the last second and took the wind right out of my sails! Nice work David.
Wet, but nice. 😉
That was probably the least fun video I have ever made Chris! LOL my first thought was to see if it would drain into the ground with the plants removed. Obviously it didn't because the ground is actually pretty hard under there and packed. Thanks for watching man!
I am always impressed by the the jobs you are able to do with your grapple. A french drain would work well
Thank you Joseph! I agree. The French drain is something that will be coming soon. Thank you for watching and have a great weekend!
Good Job David👍Glad you took action before things got worse. Thanks for taking the time to make a video while the shit was hitting the fan😁👍🚜💨💡
LOL thank you Mitch! I always keep my camera and audio gear batteries fully charged. I have at least one camera on the tripod next to the door at all times. LOL Thanks for watching buddy!
Wow. What a nightmare my friend! Thanks for sharing your trials and tribulations. All of us can learn. Good work with the tractor. Kubota saves the day! Good luck with your plans to improve drainage. Will be looking forward to watching you and Kubbie getting the job done!
You're welcome, buddy! I'm so happy we were able to take care of it with the tractor and a little hard work. And to think I almost got a couple of 4-wheelers instead of the tractor! Thanks my friend!
David with a rear angle/tilt blade you could fix a nice swale around the house. Water is hard to control. We were out last week in the dark trying unclog drain pipes and ditches during a heavy rain. Glad it didn’t get under your house. Your becoming a grapple master!
It sounds like I really do need that rear blade! I hope you got your drainage issues sorted out, too. I don't know what I'd do without my grapple! It's my go to attachment for sure. :) Thank you, Ben!
That is a great title for David, Grapple Master. Good one Ben
I'll take it! LOL
Wow David! Your snow problem quickly turned into a different problem.
Hey Gary, yeah you got that right man. Thanks for watching :)
🚜👍👏
Thank you! 😃
Great job! Well done! A French drain to capture those deluge periods and channeled to an outfall point lower than the Porch will keep you "high & dry". Also tells you how versatile a grapple can be in the world of endless applications!
Well said! My grapple is probably my most indispensable attachment! I agree that a French drain is a really good option. I'm going to start researching that. Thanks for watching, Dwayne!
@@PaleHorseOutdoors .....just a word of caution. When installing piping to direct your drainage flow, please use smooth walled PVC piping instead of the more popular and cheaper corrugated piping. Corrugations catch and hold deposits such as soils, leaves...any solid cooties which inevitably restrict stormwater flow. Smooth piping, on the other hand, better allows a flow of liquid and solids out of the end of the pipe. I see far too much use, too much over-use of corrugated piping in drainage circumstances such as yours. The corrugations are like little dams that capture solids....dirt, vegetation...and other such restictive cooties. Slick sided pipe is always a better solution for water, dirt, etc to get the "Hell out of Dodge"....if you get my drift!
@@dwayneloftice2326 Thank you, Dwayne - that's a great tip!
Nice job. That should help. Send that moisture our way. We need it.
I wish I could Scott! Thank you buddy!
Quick thinking , that tractor is worth it weight in gold !!! Good video .
Thank you, Del! I don't know what I'd do without my tractor. Thanks for watching, buddy!
You are pretty handy with that grapple using it like a rake . That worked good 👍
Thank you! I was originally going to start with the rake, but I figured I could control it better with the grapple. I'm happy with the results and it's another notch for grapple uses! Thanks for watching :)
Good fix. Water drainage is always a problem that we all face. We can’t win the war against it but we can win a few battles to keep it in check.
Thank you, Tom! Yep the wife and I just came back into the house after tending to the temporary drainage ditch we created. I can't wait for spring to get it fixed right. Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts!
Good job.... Drainage is very important around a house and the worst time but the better time to see what should be done is when it's raining.... you're making good use of that grapple....A french drain with a bit of a swal is the way to go,,,, CHEERS
Thank you Gator! I'm pretty sure we are going with the French drain. I really do appreciate all you guys suggestion good fixes for the problem. Have a great weekend buddy!
I liked your camera angles and matching multi-cam cuts. I can tell you work hard on the edits, David.
I appreciate that, Gary! I do spend a lot of time in the edit to get it as perfect as I can. Probably too much time! Thanks for watching, buddy!
@@PaleHorseOutdoors What video editing program do you use?
@@ww3ok I use the Adobe creative suite (Premiere Pro, Audition, After Effects & Photoshop). I've been using these editors for over a decade now.
Quick thinking...sometimes you gotta brave the elements and get it done!
You got that right! I'm glad to have my Kubota do all the work! LOL Thanks for watching ;)
That's to bad that happened David, hopefully the quick fix works. To bad the flowers and bushes had to go, but minor compared to water damage. Always something..... Take care and be safe.
Thank you, Mike. So far the fix is doing its job. Now I have to learn about drainage. Yep, it is always something! LOL You be safe too, my friend!
Nice work, David. The entire video I was like where is he going to move the water too because it was getting deeper where you were moving earth but that was just going to fill up too. Then you had the solution. French drain will probably be your solution! Nice work, sir! Sucks you had to do it out in the rain but at least you were on rock and not in the mud destroying the parking area at the same time.
Hey Kyle! Initially I was looking to see if I removed all of the plants if it would drain into the ground in that flowerbed. Since I did not build that flowerbed I had no idea what was down there. I know now! I have to thank my wife for going out there in the dark and the rain with a garden rake and clearing a trough to the ditch that I widened with the rake. Thank you for watching and commenting my friend. Have a great weekend!
Just watched your video.. as another PNW resident, flood control is a never ending project.. Great job with the grapple ! I did notice that you were getting a little wet out there.. lol.. if you haven’t already done it, you have to get yourself some rain gear, in order to call yourself an “Official PNW Resident”.. umbrellas are only for tourists 😂
LOL don't worry, I don't have umbrellas. I've never liked the rain but learned to live it while in Hawaii and Germany where it rained just about every day. Thanks for watching, buddy! :)
Hey David. That sucks but good you were there to catch it. I would totally agree with digging a French drain/ perforated weeping tile with larger rocks across the front and side down to the lower area for drainage. Looking forward to those videos in the summer.
Thank you, Ross. My wife has already given me some design demands for the new front. I don't think it will include a moat thank goodness, but a french drain is likely coming up soon. Thanks for watching, buddy!
@@PaleHorseOutdoors Oh yes!!! A Moat! Bahaha. And a nice draw bridge. Do it! :)
@@RossOnTheLand Shhhh! She'll hear you! LOL
@@PaleHorseOutdoors ooops sorry. Shhhh. :)
Very nice work David! It’s important to be able to have the tractor when you need it. Judging by how often you use the grapple, I’m guessing your loader bucket is in pristine, almost never used condition! Congratulations on 500 subscribers! Things will only snowball from here…
Thank you, Ethan! You're right about the bucket. It's not shiny anymore, but I probably have less than 2 hours time using it. I have to do some driveway maintenance later this year so I will be getting more use of it. Thanks for watching, my friend!
Hi David! Well done! That was quite a mess you had to deal with - in the rain no less. I see a tractor canopy in your future. The swale around the house is a good, quick cheap way to shed the water away from the house. A French drain! Brilliant! Why didn’t I think of that? 😊
Thank you, Martin :) We've tended the ditch and swale every day and they've done well even in heavy and constant rain. Thank you for first suggesting the French drain! I think that is the most common suggestion I've gotten. We'll keep it draining until we can create the French drain this spring or summer. I appreciate it, my friend!
All in equipment wise BH70 is the backhoe for the B2601 😉. May be overkill but fun to work with drainage.
Over the years that front side has probably filled in over time.
I agree I'm sure when the parking pad was put in initially it didn't angle so much toward the house. I have a lot of work to do to get that area graded properly and draining. Thank you for watching and commenting my friend!
WA and BC has gotten pummeled with rain this year.
Yes sir. Bad flooding around here. Lots of mud slides to the north of here and lowland flooding south. They even closed I-5 for a while.
Looks like you had quite the mess there 🧐glad to see the Kubota handled 🚜the issue. Grapple really came in handy 👋 I had to make several French drains and cover my road with geo fabric to deal with all the flooding each spring.
Thanks Dana. Yeah I have a lot of work to do in the spring with drainage! Thanks for watching, buddy!
How's she goin'? That was quick thinking David and then the landscape rake to make the ditch down over the bank was a good plan too. There'll be lots of time next summer to tidy this up but in the meantime you kept the water at bay!!! Take care!!
Thank you, Mike. It worked out pretty well and doesn't look as bad in the daylight as I feared. I look forward to taking care of this project but I've got a bit to learn about drainage. Thanks for watching, my friend!
I think you might want to power down a little more when using your loader it makes it less touchy and still has almost the full strength. love your videos! I will be receiving my b2601 in a few days. but have experience running a similar sized john deere
Hey Jake! That's a good tip. I'll give it a try. Congratulations on the new B2601! You're going to love it. I really appreciate you sharing your thoughts and your kind words. See you on the next one!
Well done David, looks like you were able to get most of the water away from the porch. I was wondering how things were going over there with all this rain and snow melt. I think a french drain would probably do the trick.. I'll be up on my roof tomorrow shoveling 20" of snow that's been rained 🌧 on. Best of luck to the both of us. Take care my friend.
Thanks Kyle. There is a lot of flooding over here. You be safe on that roof!! Have a great weekend my friend!
Re: French Drain. Good idea. Without a backhoe, what do you think would be the best way to dig a trench along that area?
@@dlterm I was thinking of maybe a sod buster ripper and stump bucket. But this would be a great excuse to rent a mini ex!
@@PaleHorseOutdoors Yeah...I think a rental is the way to go. Mostly because I want to see the video!!! In my area, I was surprised how cheap and easy renting is. Ex: Cat D5 dozer is less than $500 a day.
Nice! I'll have to research it around here.
Uh oh that’s no fun. I hate when Mother Nature forces your hand. I hope that your fixes will be a long term success for homestead. I hate when we have to commit to projects we weren’t banking on at that moment, but they end up being a great thing for the farm usually! -Erinn
Hi Erinn! Welcome to the channel. I sure hope so, too. I'd rather get this fixed now to keep it from being a huge problem later. I think we're going with a French drain so that should be fun. ;) Thanks for stopping by! - David
Congratulations on the 500 subs! Im sure getting to 1000 will come quick for you. looks like a drainage video will be next! What size is your shop?
Thanks Richie! Our shop is 36x48. I wish it was as large as your new one! LOL
@@PaleHorseOutdoors not too far off the shop section in ours will be 40x70 the other 150’ is indoor riding arena
@@HillsideAcres wow. That's going to be amazing!
Looks like you saved the day. good temporary fix, now the real work begins. I thought for sure your wife was going to come out after you with a frying pan for digging up her flowers.
You and me both! Ha just kidding. She got out there in the dark with a rake can created a channel from the main part to the trough I dug with the rake. Thanks, Joey!
