Tips on productive digging and slopping ditch.
Digging waterline with a ledge/bench for power, 10’ feet deep for a new acreage.
Really enjoying your videos. Keep them coming please.
I always finish sloping by pulling with the heels towards me, thanks for the tips, your right it's looks way better when pushing. I learn everyday.
Awesome, happy to help. Thanks for watching 👍🏼
Same here, this really looks good.
Thank you bro I needed this I couldn’t catch slopes right I was starting out far I’m gonna start close tomorrow looks like it works out good
Awesome bud, happy to help 👍🏼
I'm finally watching a decent operator that knows what he's doing
I learned a lot watching that, thanks!
Awesome, good to hear 👍🏼
Nice work ! if nobody's going down to the hole why bench all the extra material out on the right side...obviously it probably comes down to safety on the site that you're on ..Nice clean work though ! just subbed 💪🏼
Thanks man! The bench was for a power cable and I’m already subscribed to you lol. 👍🏼
You’re a sculptor. Well done!
Keep the videos coming my new friend 😎
thanka for the vid bro, im a new operator, and they have me opening up a 6 ft power trench with a 2 foot bench
Awesome video mate. I’m a skilled operator. Always room for more though. Thank you ❤
Going right to the top pin and curling is the easiest way to break utilities as well if you’re not careful. I’m sure the guy who made the video knows this is virgin dirt though.
That’s right. I change my digging style digging around lines. Especially doing main replacement, you want to pull grade every scoop to hopefully see the other utility ditch lines. The odd time you find a line without damaging it that wasn’t located or missed
Dammit man thats a good looking ditch ! Even the spoil piles look good lol 💯🧨 definitely tell when someone's worked on Pipelines lol
Im a fairly new operator. I havent really dug for pipe yet, but i picked up some great tips ill remember. Thank you!
Awesome, good to hear 👍🏼
Looks like you got a little over zealous when you turned the camera on.
Nice work .. productive , clean , efficient, save
Thanks now those are bucket fulls.
Very good job at passing useful information on
Love you vids!! Cant wait for more!! 👍
Awesome, happy you’re enjoying them 👍🏼
Awesome job. I left nursing and started my career as an operator recently. You guys are my inspiration ✌️✌️
Whear are you from
That won't work in type c soil
Really nice work man
Damn you’re an amazing operator 🍀
Best sloping video ever.
its nice to see how you work and explain. I'm gonna start driving crawler soon. A Hitachi 210-5 a actually. Probably gonna end up on something like what you do so this is like watch and learn 😃
Looks great. But why bench or slope it if nobody is going down there?
The bench was for a power cable to the well, and I sloped it a bit because it was being left overnight and didn’t want a sluff or cave in
Hitachi power
That was awsome.
hell yea bro !
Nice work!!
Thanks brother
Deadly
Good job👍👍👍
I miss digging like this in tracks and new construction. I work for the gas Company and everything is rebuild. Saw cut, dig, and if over 5' we shore it. Benching and sloping is more fun
Nice
Hitachi full noise in hp good video
Nothing but haha thanks 👍🏼
Nice bro
Thanks 👍🏼
Nice job
Pro , l just dug out and wish I would have watched this before. Great slopes, what’s the bench for?
Good work
Nice work
When I was digging ditch for pipeline I'd plug the center then work from the farthest from where the spoil pile was towards it I usually did the out a tooth down a tooth to slope ditch most of them were 8 feet deep amd that dont look like a 36 inch bucket a 24inch is the same width on a 336 or 350 Hitachi as the dogbone pins
Did you say 1" poly or 1 ft poly in the ditch????
1 foot

Exlent
You're putting so much dirt in those wrists' pins

Very nicely done...
Thanks for watching 👍🏼
Nicely done ;)
Thanks 👍🏼
Kinda mesmerizing really.
Heck of a job 👌
Thanks man 👍🏼
Great video! I find it quite hard sometimes watching some wanna be operators on UA-cam but your great man! Also noticed you have cleats on your tracks, you a pipeliner?
Thanks bud, yes I am. I did water and sewer for 7 years and been pipelining now for 12
👍👍👍
Good shit
Thanks bud
I miss those days.
Nice work!
Thanks man 👍🏼
Nice digging when theres no rock everywhere like around here
I hear ya, where are you located?
Really cool bro
Good video! Why do you bench the right side and not the left ?
The right side was a ledge for a power cable
To much red clay where I live to slop this way
Never dug in red clay. Is it the type that you need to slope up to keep it from rolling?
I’ve been digging for 35!years all types why do you slope one side and bench the other should do the same on both sides
This was for a waterline in Alberta, Canada where minimum cover is 9’ feet or 2.7 meters. The bench was about 4’ feet deep for a power cable.
he answers that question in the start of the video. Powerline will be on the ledge. his technique works ok for shallow cut, but its not practical with deep cut excavations. Soil types play a huge roll on making a cut look good. and following an 8 foot deep cut sloped is simple for any experienced operator.
Because he doesn’t know what he’s doing
The cut looks good, only thing is that your slope on the left is less then a .75 :1 to surface, which makes the trench illegal to enter.
Yup that’s right. I mention in the video nobody is going down there, we are just lowering the 1” inch poly down from surface.
That’s not a slope that’s called a bench should know what you’re doing if you wanna do a video
You're a good operator, but a good operator isn't just about digging its about machine care as well. Do not slam the bucket open everytime thats bad for the cylinder. I know you're just a employee for a company but if you work for yourself you better be taking care of the machine and I would never allow that on my jobs. Same goes with idlers in the front. I've fired guys for digging over drives when I told them 1000 times.
Did i hear 1" poly??? With a 24" bucket???? Someone should be fired.
It’s actually a 32”-36” bucket on that machine. Those smaller buckets just waste time in my opinion, spend more time trying to get the dirt out of them then you do digging.
What is the purpose of spending all the extra time and burning all the extra fuel to slope the banks so good like someone is going to be in the ditch when it was said that a 1" poly water line was going to be dropped in from the surface? Everything about this just looks like burning money to me from using that wide of a bucket for 1" pipe to doing all the sloping when unnecessary.
It’s unstable loose soil, if you dig a narrow trench and don’t get the pipe in before small collapses the pipe won’t be laid properly. Also, trying to move back over the trench to dig out collapses just makes even more work. One option would be to lay the pipe in as you go, have someone just feeding it in as you pull back the trench. Would be quicker than this but double the labour cost I guess.
All I learnt here is how to force too much of a bucketful into the bucket then bang the living daylights out of the bucket to empty it as its all stuck in the bucket , great way to bust seals on the bucket ram !!
Rooky shit right there .
