  • In this video i do some fabrication to make some add ons to allow a mole plough to be used to lay water pipe. A relatively simply job but still took some thinking about.
    Hope you found it interesting.
    Thanks for watching.
    If you'd like to support the channel you can purchase a Snowball engineering hoodie at snowballengineering.co.uk/ I will be adding various different items to the shop as time goes on.
    Thanks.

    What a super way to start a Sunday - with another great video from Snowball Engineering. Your design, problem-solving and fabrication skills are first class, together with being educational and instructive to watch, particularly with regard to CAD. I'm mindful of the amount of time you'll have spent editing this video; the quality of your videography, is at the very least, equal to Cutting Edge Engineering, where Kurtis' wife does all the filming and editing. I find your videos compulsive viewing - I never want them to end. Your latest post has been most interesting and an absolute delight to watch, Thank you for posting such superb content.

      @kenhart6330 25 днів тому +1

      Yes you're right @raymondmusarra1328, Mike and his friend Aaron his welder make and design and make the tools for his machines. He does a load of tile work and was using his excavators to dig the trenches needed before laying the pipes which could be 6 or 8 inches in diameter, the trench had to be refilled. So he bought an old military John Deere dozer and made a tile plough to be mounted on to it. He only has to dig a small length of trench so he can get the depth he needs then he begins to plough down the field.
      Lately they have been making a tree lopper to get the clearance for the combine harvesters. The tile plough has saved him a lot of time because he doesn't have to go up and down the fields back filling after laying the tile.
      DIRT PERFECT is his channel.

    Thanks for another great video mate. Your ingenuity and vision is nothing short of astounding. I'm just a home hobby metalworker in learning, so your videos are invaluable for tips on how to approach and do things. Watching you cut the holes in the box section for the axle to fit, hammered home just how much I really need to get my arse in gear and build a CNC plasma table. I've been playing with 3D Printers for a few years now so have a decent understanding of the robotic element, just need to get my head around the mechanics and build the chuffing thing 🙂

    Quite a bit smaller than the arrangement that Dirt Perfect and MBTS made for laying 8" Drainage 'tile' in the USA, but then they didn't try and design a reel for it, they tow a trailer-mounted one behind a baby tractor! Well done Ollie, another imaginative solution well thought through.
