I ment for the parts that hold water. But if it's your house I guess it really doesn't matter to you.
Only works if its flat lol
@@waylonwilliams-dl8uv only traps water if it's not.
I don’t know when I’ll need this knowledge but I’m glad to have it!!!!
If you know that water naturally flows from a point higher in elevation to a point lower in elevation, then you'll never be in the position of having a pond on a point of higher elevation!
It must be nice to have prefect dirt. Here,there is rocks of all sizes and roots. Leveling is a art.
My property is called rock Hill because it turns into solid rock as you go further onto the property.
We have about 5 acres at the bottom is perfect farm ground with no rocks. The top of the hill is a solid sheet of rock.
@@RockhillfarmYT now that sounds like home.
Clay is fun too
@@BlonnyBoy
Only if wet from weeks of rain. 😉
@@assassinlexx1993or baked into concrete by the sun
I can honestly say as a full time senior grader and equipment operator. That's a pretty solid method. Nicely done.
Thanks
I have to agree, this is how I do them, but so much easier with a 4 in 1 bucket 👌
Senior grader?That's you're official title is it?
@shockingshorts8043 hahaha. Pretty much.
@@kevinallen206 You use the same equipment at work?Do they Believe in grading stakes where you work?Or are they pretty much a by eye kinda company?
It’s called a swale. Good job. Looks great.
Love the skid steer operator! Excellent job!
Talent on display here. Good work. Yeah, it's a drainage ditch, but I would call it a swale.
Thank you, this is uncannily helpful and relevant to me!
It takes a lot more skill to do that than people might think!
Looks straight forward to me
@@gearhead9115It is a lot easier with a track machine.
Not really, man.
I do this for a living and this job specifically is quite easy. I could teach a teenager to do this in an hour
@@jeffhall768 A track machine is cheating.
A track machine will make a half assed operator a better operator.
As a guy that usually has a good trick for most things, man thats a good trick!
You can definitely tell you've done a few of those..... Nice work
Gotta love a tracked skidder
Mister george. Pay the new guy more. Lol nicely done.
You said, "Pretty darn well." Instead of, "Pretty darn good."
Because YOU SIR, speak your proper English.
Well done! Good Sir!
Hello from Maine.
I love how the grass is getting rolled up with the skidsteer! Love it!
If you do it right, you can reuse it as sod!
@@d_kortman You did that perfectly.... it was pleading to the eyes!
@@aaronburford5701 wasn’t me, but yeah he did. I’m an operator and I do small jobs but sometimes I’ll use the excavator and get little patches of sod with each scoop and either take some home or just replant it where I disturbed the land.
@@d_kortman thanks for your honesty... it still look good! Where is this project located at?
@@aaronburford5701 all I’m saying is that I have nothing to do with this video but I think you think I do. I didn’t make/upload/take part in this video at all
Good thinking and good experience good job excellent
That's a sweet JD skid steer...
I wouldn't know how to crank up a skid-steer, much less operate it, but I do get an awful lot of satisfaction from watching guys like this gentleman operate one so skillfully. Very impressive, sir.
Thanks
Finally a skid operator that knows his shit , nice
nice machine❤❤❤❤
Just did that on a new construction final grade. It worked pretty good.
Nice! Your work looks swale!
Good one!
I'll have to try this with my Dodge 2500 and the vplow ..As long as the fenders don't fall off
🤣
We call that a swell. Great video, thanks...
Thanks
Get ready to remove grass for driveway, you have helped me to try it. Thank you.
Rewatched, love this!
Great idea and timely for me! I’m doing that this weekend!
Great info. One track in one track out is genius. Building a pond in one of our pastures next spring and this will come In handy.
I’ve done the same thing with a tractor and box blade
That's a awesome tip goods on ur mini steer
Looks good! Especially for an hours work
Thanks
Wow what a great tip ! Thank you !
N. I. C. E. C. O. N. C. E. P. T. !
Kudos.
You and I go at it the same way. Sometimes I hit the center of the canal with my backhoe to establish a centerline depth and straight trench, but that’s for long 100+ yard canals, In the end, I’m sure our results are the same. You gotta love the utility of the track steer.
Yea that’s a great method very simple really I’ll try it out seems like that will be my method as well :)
Nice swell! Excellent method! Nicely done!
Thanks
Nice tip.. thanks
Score..
9 out of 10
Comments..
Original work. Nice time Informative great job
Ppl have no clue how hard this is he did a damn good job with that skid steer
Unless youve never operated equipment, this is easy. Especially with a skid.
Great idea just like a dozer cut !
I’ve never done this, or infact plan to do it! BUT I still watched it twice incase I ever need to do it👍 I don’t even have land lol
and another operator is born!
Why is this so satisfying?
Nicely done
Looks great. Fun
Yep nice work
Great work sir!
Thanks
makes absolute sense
excellent tip
Cool thanks 👍
This knowledge will go nicely with the bobcat ads I'm getting
Damn! I wish I'd seen this when I still had the farm!
So cool
Best way to go!
very good
I've done the same thing at a big nursery here in PA. Water kept pooling between the hoop houses.
We do this here in Michigan where water drains out of fields into drain tile entrance’s, you wouldn’t even know something was there till you walk up to it because the grass is so tall and can cause the water to divert a path around, super simple and fast
Very nice.
Nicely done my friend.
Looks good
In the starting I thought it was a meme LOL
This is dope
Nice pond...
Nice work efficient
Like the technique
Good job. That’s what you have to do to keep grade without a tilt blade like a dozer would have. Wether isn’t a track machine with a bucket or a wheel loader. I loaded rock trucks with blast rock at a mine for a few years. That’s how I’d keep the grade going the way it was supposed to, I’d come at it with my wheels going with the grade. Or down a sloped grade, I’d keep them in the right spot for my bucket to be on the sand angle of grade I wanted of needed. I’ve run dozer for quite a few years too. Much simpler when you can just tilt your blade. But still, you come at things at a certain angle or grade with your tracks also. Makes it easier
Good job
Brilliant
Looks nice
Good work that’s how I use to do them too
Nice job!
Thanks
Nice job
Having a skid steer is like having a Swiss Army knife for many projects.
Nice technique!
Thanks
That’s not bad for an hours worth of work! I probably could have done it with a tractor and box scraper in 2-3.
On next week's episode: how I dredge a pond
Not in a skid steer lol
Damn good method my man
Well done, and your using what you have , but would a excavator not be better , in the us and Canada I see skid steers everywhere, in Europe it's mini excavator s .
Very nice work.
I was actually taught this method in the US army engineering school for heavy equipment operator. Lap ditching, if I remember correctly
You figured out what every body has been doing for a hundred years
The tooth bucket is absolutely the way to go. I finally put teeth on my 84in bucket after 15 years of owning it. Best $700 I ever spent.
Cool
That’s smart
Exactly how I’ve done it
Looks fun
For a while anyway
You kinda nice on the skid steer
I used to excavate grades with a backhoe. Using the front bucket to grade and the rear bucket arm, slid out across the mount to one side, swing the arm out to the same side. Do the same for the other side.
Way to go give away all the good secrets
That’s the way to do it
We call it a Swale. It's basically a shallow ditch for water drainage and it's easy to mow.
Nice
So professional, forgot the word swale
This is the third time I’ve made a video digging this type of trench. In the first two, I called it a swale and people got mad at me because they say this is not a swale.
I thought I would avoid the argument by not using the word.
So much for that.
@@RockhillfarmYT 45 years construction. Commercial construction, up to 30 story buildings and as Superintendent. Swale. You are good in this case. Screw the pretend builders. I've had them condemn the name french drain. These pogs are stupid!
perfect method
Thats how you dig a ditch with a cable operated dozer to.Alot of people now days look back at the old cable dozers and blowes there mind how you do that.These people running dozers today have all that help on board to make them a OPERATOR.They need a dose of old school like running a old 2-u D-8.That will make a operater out of ya lol.Back then we listened to the engine to tell you what its doing.
Absolutely
It takes longer but I use this method with a box blade behind the tractor. It works pretty well.
That’s the design of a standard waterway. Same method can be used with dozers and my preferred tool, tractor and pan
That's nice work brother. I have a little D3 here on the farm and i can tear more up in an hour than a real operator can fix in 4.😂
Good work bro I'm in the state of Texas 🇨🇱 my neighbor will get the 🤬 if I wanted to do a project like this!!!
I don’t understand what you are talking about
We call that a light v Ditch where I’m from. We do ours with dozers
