Those dang beavers are at it again! Follow me and my beaver battle saga as I fight for my family farms fields to be dry and usable and not under water like they have been the last few years. You will also see other off site drainage content and occasionally other farm and International Harvester related stuff.
Will I win my battle and see all the fields planted this year? It's on!

Surprise Beaver Dam on a Hot Dry Day | Culvert Unclogging
Its that time of year when its extremely hot and dry here. I was completely unprepared on this day when I came across a dam the beavers had built to stop some irrigation run off. Sorry for the terrible angle, I didn't have any of my equipment with me on this day. Beaver dams are few and far between when it gets this dry here this time of year so couldn't pass it up. Watch for snakes!

Knocking a Hole in a Massive Beaver Dam | Unclogging Beaver Dam Removal
Переглядів 12 тис.4 місяці тому
While making the rounds today, the water levels were looking good until I came across one section that was really high. The blockage wasn't in the normal spots, so it took a bit of searching to find it. This one was a bit difficult in that it was surrounded by the slippery embankment and very soft sinky mud.

This pipe also had a blockage on the outlet...

The water is about the same as last week even after a few inches of rain. This is a good indication the outer gates and spillways are doing their job holding the water back. At this point, I don't see any signs of beavers so hopefully they have moved on for now.

i like how you let dad decide when he wants to switch and dont suggest him to rest 👍
On the boot advertisment you should show the tread design
You shouldn't place it so close to the water. Throw it farther onto the land. That way it won't wash back down into the water when it rains.
You need a shovel
Shovels are generally useless against a beaver dam. If it were just mud they'd be fine but Shovels do nt go through the tree limbs and cane good at all.
Hi. Why did this voltage drop only affect it when hot? I have a very similar problem. Fitted a geared starter to put less load on the battery, but didn't cure it.
My guess is the initial prime shot is enough to get it through the momentary drop in power.
Cool
I’m going to be moving to Nebraska when I fiend a better paying trucking job I just have to be careful because a lot of place don’t allow pits he is my driving partner
That's great timing. I'll start by nice scout? Don't know much other than a friend had one kinda like it and I thought it was great. I just acquired a classic black with the force 340 and am about to put it in on a long personal project. 3 carbs in and I'm looking forward to it. Ohh 82 cj7 with a 67 283 jazzed!. Thanks for the tip!!! Be well all and as we all know it was a perfect ear.
you're a long way from post 10
That's cool, I in no way am trying to be post10. If you are looking for post10 type content, I recommend checking out the post10 channel on UA-cam. Thanks for watching!
Yep easy
you learn nothing; making a (little)hole is something total different as a compleet removal
I see how you might be confused. This is a compilation and therefore lacks some of the context that would have been included in the full length video. The partial unblocking is intentional. We are trying to hold back a certain amount for waterfowl in the winter but when we have rain coming or get too much held, we need to bleed a little off. We punch a hole and let drain all day until the beaver closes it later that night.
My snake count was 3. If there were any more that I missed, I don't know that I would care to find out. 😂 You have some very playful water snakes there, that's for sure!
Is this guy too old to bend his been struggling to get out a stick stuck and still struggling
I do have some slight mobility issues but the beavers don't care. Still has to be dealt with.
Pull a tire through the pipe.
I think it was last year maybe, it's in a past video. I ran a rope through the pipe and left it there just in case I ever needed to pull a chain through and use something like a tire to dislodge a dam. Wouldn't you know it, I removed it early this spring because I had yet to need it and didn't want it getting caught up in a mower or anything. Could have been a game changer here on this day.
I don’t get in the water either
I don't mind in the winter but we just have too many critters I don't want to have a close encounter with during the warm months. I haven't encountered an alligator yet, but they are all around us here.
What’s the pink strap tied to that grate?
Just to help hold the grate in place. Sometimes, if the mud foundation underneath them is dug out, the grate tends to want to tip back away from the pipe. Mainly needed when a backhoe or excavator is used around the pipe opening.
Wie blöd stellt der sich dümmer gehts nicht
Cold and wet in Ireland. Farmers are only on their second silage cut and some are already using this year's first cut to feed cattle because grass growth is so slow. I only have about half an acre to cut and I've cut it three times this year... usually I have cut it 7 or 8 times by now and am happy growth is slowing due to mid-Summer being past. Things are going to be serious next Winter. Imagine not being able to grow grass in Ireland!!! I can hardly believe it. I'm still enjoying your videos and love when your Dad is with you. Best Wishes, Brendan.
Thanks for not zooming in on that S….! 😂 🤣🤣🤣
Stay hydrated in that heat
I wonder if you can use one of these handheld battery powered washing pumps and jet the mud away. They are self sucking. I dont know if they would last on muddy water though.
That would be nice for sure. I suspect the main issue would be all the debris in the water would damage the pump.
I read the word cottonmouth and was too scared to enjoy the scenery. 😂 I wish I could send you some of our cool weather down to you! 👋🏻👋🏻👋🏻
Those beavers can sure make a world-class mess. Glad you two could get it solved quick in the heat of the day!
Thank you so much for checking out my video. If you enjoyed it, please consider leaving a thumbs up and a comment, it helps me out greatly!
You need chest high waders
This was one of my very early videos of dealing with beaver dams. If you check out some of the later videos you will catch me in chest waders from time to time.
Add your guess here for how long this will work until we get a beaver dam again. Winner might get a prize!
Vous avez beaucoup de courage et de force mais pas les bons équipements ni outils. Cedt dommage.
It’s like those beavers are building a few towns in the community.
When I read the alert, I immediately backed away from the iPad…just in case it jumped at the screen! 😅😅😅 Have a nice weekend! 👋🏻👋🏻👋🏻
I try to scare them off before getting that close!
@@BarrettFarms 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
That’s great, will be watching for up dates🌺🍍🌴🇺🇸✝️🤙🏽
That extremely long branch reminded me of a prehistoric teryldactyl
Good job!
You must put an A FRAME in there - then you confuse the beavers
As I have commented in other videos. Vactor Truck and a jet rodder will make short work out of cleaning that culvert.
Thanks! I will research it.
Мне интересно у них там вилы не производят что ли? 🤣 Какой то тяпкой постоянно ковыряют.
good job ! where did you get that pan from?
I want to say Amazon, maybe eBay. I will see if I can dig it up. I should have saved links and added in the description, will try to do that going forward.
A triangular grate is needed to defeat the beavers. Cheers man🦫👍💪👊

U have to get into the water to be able unclog
Just the thumbnail, let alone the video literally shows that's not true. I realize it might make for better content but not all culverts require getting into the water to unclog. We purposely use the mud we pull out to build out ground so we can stand on and easily unclog the pipe. We try to do what we can to not have to get in the water, especially during warm months due to certain water hazards.
I just finished watching another channel I subscribe to and they were fixing broken tiling that caused their flooded fields. Good luck…. I hope you get a dry spell. 👋🏻👋🏻👋🏻
Thank you! We were really blessed this week and dried out enough to plant today!
I hope everyone is having a great weekend. As always, thank you for supporting my channel and watching this video!
Suggestion get you some iron pipes that can be screwed together and a chunk of wood can be attached that the pipe can be screwed on to or a permanent attachment and a flat board you can put against you to shove thru pile
Already done, nicely tucked away in the trees for next time this happens. Hopefully they won't be needed!
I thought you were going to use tannerite ! Even that would have just had to have been used several times and just blew up that whole section of clogged pipe, easier digging it out at least with the whole soil on top loosened up !
I'm thinking of doing a tannerite removal the next time we get a big one away from the culverts and anything else we dont want damaged by flying g debris. Stay tuned, it may happen!
I have a set of Corsa All Terrain XL 31x10.50R15LT on my 1984 K5 Blazer with a stock suspension (all new stock parts). Never had tires that hydroplane as bad as these. To the point where I won't drive on the highway if its a heavy downpour. They also grab and pull all over the road depending on road conditions. Interesting that you had no issue with them. The size of mine are the stock size that my k5 came with in 84'. I mainly use the truck to tow my Bass boat which is aluminum. So it's not heavy. Towing or not though the tires behave the same.
I wish I had been able to long term test them with greater wear down. I could see these being a tire that would be prone to hydroplane issues when tread depth becomes low. What is tread depth on yours? Did you have hydroplane issues when they were new?
You neet long strict to anbloke the cover
Yep. I took care of that after this. Stashed a few pieces of 10ft long metal pipe around the drains to use in the unfortunate event they build inside the pipe again. Hopefully after this though, it's completely clear the grates should never be left off.
16:00 scoop it from the inside?
Why do people watch someone else’s channel and go on about post 10? If you want to watch someone work the same way as post 10 then you should be watching post 10. It’s not that difficult to understand. This guy does things his way and he does a pretty good job. 🙄🙄🙄
I felt like standing up and slow clapping after reading your comment. I am constantly amazed at what seems like people mad because I'm not post 10 and posting beaver dam videos. Thanks for saying what I can only assume many people are thinking!
@@BarrettFarms You’re welcome my friend. Keep on being you.

I think you had to be better dressed for that work. You look like you don’t want to get wet!!!
Back then I didn't have chest waders. This water can be 6 feet deep or more depending on the day. I get in the water when the conditions allow it.
He literally said he wasn’t prepared to do this today, that’s probably why he’s not wearing appropriate clothes.
Wow, a lot of rude comments on here.
Don't worry about them. Those are just the "experts." 😀
