Why is he not dressed appropriately for the job ?

Greetings! I am so amazed by the people obsessed about the way I am dressed. I have done this in shorts and tennis shoes, I have done it in chest waders, all have the same result, me leaving with the culvert unclogged. There s no law in my area that governs how people dress when they work on their farm, it's pretty much free to them to do what they want.

So you moved the leaves 3 feet to the side. The wind is just going to blow them right back. you'd be better off tossing handfuls of them into the pipe when it's flowing and just clear the area of them.

Cleaning these is never a one and done expectation. You have to maintain them constantly and they will get debris in them as long as there is water to drain. Whether it blows from the wind or what's already in the water, it will need to be done again sooner or later. Thanks for watching!

Come on man your a farmer and your doing this shit by hand when you should be using a backhoe or a tractor 🚜 skidsterre or a mini excavator at the least this is the 21st century by hand is not professional 🙄😬🫤

I hear ya! I do everything I can to keep the machines away from the pipes. It's so much easier to maintain by hand, and no damage is done to the pipes or area around the pipe. Just personal preference.

Have you considered installing a grate or triangular rack that blocks the beavers from stuffing anything inside the pipe? That way yo can clean the grate and water will flow

We have them on our larger culverts, this one badly needs one. It's completely blocked off again as I type this.

Do you try to trap the beavers 🦫??
@BarrettFarms
@BarrettFarms 24 күн бұрын
We do! We aren't at the moment. We have deployed some deterrents, which I am not a fan of as it just makes the beaver move to another spot. I hope to resume trapping efforts this fall with a little. It different trap than what we have used in the past.

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.

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.

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.

Pull a tire through the pipe.
@BarrettFarms
@BarrettFarms 2 ай бұрын
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.

What’s the pink strap tied to that grate?
@BarrettFarms
@BarrettFarms 3 ай бұрын
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.

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.

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.

@BarrettFarms

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'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!
