Correction -40 is the same in Celsius and Fahrenheit

Best tip yet!

[@efficientexcavations]

Thanks buddy! Was a pleasure working with you the past couple months 🍻

[@montylane2033]

Hell yah! Pleasure working with you to

Also in Alberta Can. I’m in an Operator course to get certified on, excavator, dozer, articulated rock truck, and skid steer. Do you have any tips or prerequisites for someone looking to get in this line of work?

Just to be clear, you're digging to the bottom three holes of the thumb for grade at 90°, then using the H bar pins reached out on the clean-up pass?

[@efficientexcavations]

Yup, at 90 degrees I know I got my depth. Then you can use the H bar to find that sweet spot where you’re not cutting nor healing too much that you’re not getting a grade cutting scoop

Do you prefer to dig with teeth or flat bottom? I was always told you can't cut with a fork so I always flat bottom.

[@efficientexcavations]

I like a cutting edge doing water and sewer ditch and teeth for pipeline. Probably cause we cover so much more ground on pipeline so you encounter a lot more rocks. Also better that water and sewer pipe is on virgin ground so you don’t end up with a sag

1 to 3foot of sand then clay here in Michgan.

[@efficientexcavations]

Nice, so do you use the sand to bed the pipe when backfilling?
