Digging a small pond in a forest w/ a skid steer
Переглядів 3962 місяці тому
Years later finally using my Daewoo DSL 601 40hp skid loader to build a pond. Yes we wanted a bigger pond but layout of my land and the fact that we didn't want to take down the forest, I settled on a small "retention" sized pond. The quality of clay and the downhill location of it should keep it full. We will see right now we are in a drought to its hard to dig anymore.

@@Lilym661 it is but very very little
where did you get the 4 way wedge? did it come with it?
Company called Boss industrial. They have a splitter almost identical to this and their 4way wedge fits fine on the harbor freight
The tubular spacer between the two bearings on the vertical output shaft is badly designed. It's a plain tube with no holes in the wall so it means gear oil trapped between the outside of the tube and the gearbox case cannot circulate. When I overhauled my gearbox I cut 4 slots about 25mm (approx 1inch) long and 13mm (approx 1/2 inch) wide in the bottom of the tube at 90 degrees to each other. This allows the oil to pass either side of the tube, meaning all of the oil in the gearbox circulates around, maximising the life of the oil as well as the gearbox.
@@txengineer5250 cool maybe just some drilled holes would be enough?
@@sweetpigfarm3645 Hi yes, you could drill 4 holes close to the bottom of the tube and that would work too. In fact I did just that then used a hacksaw to cut up from the bottom of the tube to the holes to make them into slots. Slotting means you get full circulation of all the oil without any place for oil to settle. BTW thanks for posting the great video.
@@txengineer5250 thank u for a positive comment. I am glad it's helped people

I'd be worried your solar panels will go flying in a high wind. There may also be code problems with having mountings too close to the crown of the roof. The temptation to do zero penetration mostly comes from a misunderstanding of how roofs work. You aren't trying to seal it up like a bath tub so it will hold water 2' deep. If you stack up that much water on a regular roof, you'd have water pouring into the house. It doesn't work that way, and never did, unless you have a flat roof. It's all just layers angled down hill in such a way that if water penetrates the outermost shingle, the one below it will bring it back up to the surface again as the water flows down hill over the underlying shingle, not unlike thatch. As such, it should be perfectly fine to have mounts drilling through the shingles in areas covered by other shingles. This is how the shingles themselves are traditionally attached after all, with nails along the top of each shingle, and the next shingle layered above it. The mounts just need to layer in with the shingles following the same pattern as the shingles themselves. It might be easier to do when the shingles are being put down because then the uphill shingles won't be in the way, but our solar installer had no problem working with the roof as is. There are aftermarket products designed to do this very thing. I've also patched holes in our roof from an incorrectly installed rain diverter by just layering some thin aluminum plates over the hole with some roofing cement, and it worked fine. Not an expert, but I think you are asking for trouble with your design.
@@ianollmann9393 we not my design.... solarpod.com z rack . Again the roofers forced me into this design as no one would do it and I don't like ripping multi lag size holes in my 2x4 trusses. Remember I already had one structure lagged in before. I don't want to keep wearing the structure. I am not worried thanks.
@sweetpigfarm3645 you already had the 2x4s lagged in?
I guess I wasn't clear in the video but for the past 10yrs my system was lagged into the roof. But hail damage to the roof I got a new one and no roofer / insurance would let me lag into the new roof. This system was a reinstall not new.
Thats (d)um(b). a good wind storm is going to lift the off & trash those solar panels. If you don't want any roof pentrations, than go with a ground mount. Better since you can clean them & inspect them easier.
@@guytech7310 well solar pod the company that sells z rack is certified and tested over 100mph winds. One of those columns of panels weighs over 350lbs
I have seen decks built on top of flat roofs and they use 2" foam board strips between the roof and decking board to protect the roof and prevent having to use wood on a wet surface. They use the foam board exactly like like the 2x4s are used here. A skirt could be placed around the structure to reduce the amount of wind that could get under the solar panels, but this would potentially increase the temperature of the solar panels and reduce efficiency. I would still be concerned about not having any attachments to the structure. There are some good roof attachments that prevent leakage and I would at least install a few attachments. But if one were absolutely opposed to putting holes in the roof, perhaps straps could be added to the ends and tied somewhere under the soffits or perhaps replacing the gutter nails with heavier duty screws and attaching to those.
You’ve got to be kidding me?
Very nice i like design idea. Your gonna need to slip a few hundred to inspector to pass code. Lol
😂
This might void the roof job & shingles warranty?
@@richardsanchez9657 They approved this over jilling holes in it
That won't work in high wind load areas in the U.S. (Tornado Alley, etc) 70mph sheer wind loads can snap telephone poles in half. I like the idea tho.

@@kevinsmith4585 if that company is just a dude how did they get all their projects approved? And tested and sell engineered plans?
Good work!. To add a bit more wind protection (if you didn’t) tie downs at the bottom and end would help. As far as spacing above the roof, I installed my 72 panel array 8 inches above a new metal roof, It keeps the space below and the panels so much cooler and that makes them produce more power.
@@kaf2303 I think air gap is good!
Depending on where you're at this won't fly if you had to get a permit from the city. There are clear and visible obstructions along the ridge of the roof which would be used as a patway for firefighters (I get it's unrealistic anyways). But stricter counties would not be happy about this setup.
@@SuperSushiRoll this is a good topic...codes are ever changing and are very restrictive on solar. It's almost killing the green movement that they want.
Hey......why mount them on roof......make a car port.....shade for deck......secondary out buildings.......cheers
@@mattharvey8712 the pergula shades the deck we love it and makes power
'Less holes' is good, but not doing 10 or 12 on each side to have it securely mounted is a bit overboard.. Yeah you don't want 50 or 500 holes, but a reasonable number can be easily dealt with.
I saw something similar on youtube from a company up in Minnesota area, and my only concern would be that here in central FL we do occasionally get hit with a hurricane or a near miss with high winds, and even though I made a pully system to get my panels up and down from the roof it's a hard long process to remove and put them back up especially my 60lb 72 cell panels. Great system if you do not want to drill in to your roof like I don't seeing as I just put a new metal roof on. I've found the only way to do solar financially viable is to do it yourself, solar installers charge so much it's not even worth it, general rule of thumb: if it will pay for itself in 10 years or less it's worth it :)
I think I heard you can mount to the ridges in metal roofing without going through what's behind the metal; I don't know the method though.
@@cyberles8830 yes you can, the one I used for my metal garage roof is called the ProteaBracket made by S-5. I used it in conjunction with Iron Ridge solar mounting system. That said, on my new house with my brand new metal roof I still do not want to put any holes in it lol
great work.
@@TommyPatch thanks
Sooooo.. can it withstand Category 1 storm?
@@notsecure visit solarpod their website list the test. It's something over 100mph winds
That is not good! There is absolutely nothing wrong with roof penetrations when done properly. Over 10 years I did 300 homes and never had a single leak. Instead you will rot your roof away by mounting wood to it, and will have a very expensive roof repair on your hands in probably about five years depending on how wet your climate is.
How is putting wood on it going to cause it to rot the roof?
@@Gary-ee3kq trapped moisture within the wood, overtime causes mold growth and eventually would rot, and with that, the wood swells and contracts causing it to slowly rip apart the composition roof shingles that it is adhered to. I did it in my early solar days and a roofing contractor just laid into me right in front of the homeowner!
Amazing - I was thinking about this possible approach, since I dislike to make holes in the roof that may cause water to drop through. Thank you for example on giving options!
@@PjotrII no one else was putting out example videos, not even the company that makes this...sad. I am glad that this inspiring people
@@sweetpigfarm3645 YEAH! 100% agree. I am planning to build solar panel systems, and where I live, UNFORTUNATELY the feeling of companies who build systems is "we have the right solution for you" which is to add 8-20 solar panels in a row on a roof and drive away to the next project as fast as possible. When I´ve asked of (showed my plans) for a more efficient system, based upon the reality (not having a huge roof for 20 solar panels), they don´t even contact me anymore... next FAST MADE STANDARD system somewhere else to go to. They basically don´t sell, produce or import solar panels adjustment sets to get a better angle depending on where you live, or what time you need the electricity. The ONLY way to make something is to make it yourself, therefore I was very happy to see your approach, as I had been wondering if a system where you don´t put holes in the roof was possible. Thank you!
@@PjotrII yes! Yea 10yrs ago when I got bids it was a joke... dyi solar is almost the only way also it was the only way ROI was worth it
