Your work ethic is excellent and what you do is good for the soul. Those that haven't done anything like this for 12-14 hours will never understand. Stay strong Sir

[@sharonfreemanpace1011]

Great job Devon. I fondly remember my days of having to break down those M-16's. Seems like a lifetime ago.

[@toddhill1465]

Being in Lexington, SC during the heat wave of last week, I felt REALLY bad for the recruits training at Fort Jackson. The heat was absolutely miserable!

[@susieast450]

I would just like to say that it was a solid 56°F here in Alaska, with some days getting in the 60s. Weather is about to warm up and get in the HIGH 60s just in time for the salmon run. I used to live in the Southern California desert for 30 years. I'm done with the heat lol. I get nauseated thinking if how hot it is for you all and I sympathize 🥵🥴

[@johnmuller5880]

I went through Ft Jackson,during,the Cuban Missile crisis. And it was hot then. I remember the salt on our fatigues at the end of the day. They moved half the fort out in one night.

[@Gooditalian]

How I found it easier to hook my hoses up is when you shut the engine off wiggle the joy sticks back and forth to take the pressure off the fittings and I think your hoses will connect a lot easier. Give it a try.

[@phatboizbackyardkustomz9006]

You can also push it against the stick to relive the pressure if it has the ball sticking out

[@jocook174]

I love watching your videos, you do such neat work and make things look so professionally done. Be careful of the Wasp and Alligators as well as all Mother Nature Creatures. Keep up the good work.

[@lindamitchell-fox1926]

Oh my. I did basic at Fort Jackson too. Needed college money and didn’t want my hardworking parents to pay for it. Became an accountant, retired at 45 as a corporate financial analyst and couldn’t be happier.

Hi bro we have to be thankful

[@CJWJR]

You're right about Columbia being hot. I'm from The Upstate of SC, and my sister went to USC. She refers to Columbia as "the armpit of the South." 😄 This is the first time that I've ever seen a paper wasp nest in the grass, too. Usually they build their nests in the trees. I HAVE had an encounter with yellow jackets that had burrowed in the ground. (That was NOT fun.) Great job though!

[@timothyirish4590]

Davin,there is a tool to help fitting hoses looks like a clamp,watch Andrew Camarata he uses them

[@pamelacruz7393]

Thank you for your service 🇺🇲

[@andrewzerkee3980]

First time seeing you use this cutter, love it

[@macbitz]

Great video. Yellow jackets and some hornets are well-known for ground-nesting and they often choose abandoned rodent burrows or other natural cavities in the soil to build their nests. They enlarge these cavities and actually construct paper-like nests inside them, similar to what they do above-ground. What's more, they can be more aggressive than other species if their nest is disturbed. I learned this from the groundsman of the cemetary where my dad was buried because their nest was right next to his grave! Made visiting very challenging as they couldn't really justify disturbing the nest and I accepted that.

[@mikepici5553]

Nice job davin, beautiful transformation and you got the sound track, back in the description, by the way the soundtrack fits perfectly, play it loud enough maybe it'll calm the wasps

[@donnal.oglesby4806]

Afternoon Daven. Looks likwe those hoses gave you a bit of a fight. The wasps were not too happy but glad you had us inside with you and not out in the heat🙂and since when does South carolina get gators?? Know they are in florida, just all over the place, but never heard of one being in South Garolina..

[@GIJOE_1981]

Thanks for sharing the hookup process. Glad you had that machine so you didn't have to deal with wasps ... as much lol

[@kirk467]

I remember the last time you cut this pond Davin! I’m surprised you don’t hit more wasps nest with all the grassy fields that you cut! Try bush hogging on a no cab tractor! No protection at all! If you get stung, take a little bit of cigarette or pipe tobacco, wet it with spit or a little water and slap it on the sting area! Kills the pain pretty quick my friend! Just an old time remedy from the old Cajun people and it works really well! Helps stop the swelling too a little bit!

[@kirk467]

Thanks for sharing brother, guess the alligator won’t have any cover when he wants to lay on the bank and catch some rays! 🐊😎😎🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🐊🐊🐝🐝🐝 stay safe brother 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🙋🏼✌🏻✌🏻💯💯💯

[@johnkranz4004]

Looks great Devin

[@larryperdue508]

I saw a guy on u-tube that took a couple of grip-it clamps and cut the jaws so they fit on the hidrolic fittings to make it easier to connect attachments to your heavy equipment 😊

[@debraallison2765]

Thanks for showing how you get those attachments on I've always wondered about that

[@scottnyc6572]

You hit an underground nest.They are much more aggressive during the hot weather especially.

[@lindamitchell-fox1926]

Keep yourself a couple of those grip clamps in your truck for the hydraulic hoses. It’s very helpful.

[@kirk467]

Is that your excavator Davin, back from the repair shop? Hopefully they fixed the AC brother! That glass kicks up some heat! Oh WOW, I thought the machine was yours, well they can’t last forever without repairs! 👌🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@SkySoldier-y4u]

Ft. Jackson is extremely hot! After which I took my Infantry Training at Ft. Polk, Louisiana and it was hot there, too!

[@tirol4302]

Hello and greetings from Austria (Tyrol), I'd love to watch your videos, I think it's totally cool! 😉

[@garywalton7176]

Those Paper Wasps(Red and Black) build their nests😊 a lot I'm bushes near water..a lot of times you will find their nests in a button bush over water. Stay Safe..

[@jerryharper7347]

Nice looking job!

[@patrickflanagan8008]

You did a great job....nice one matey.

[@texmexbbq7085]

It would be nice if someone finally invented better hydraulic hose connectors... that has been the same design for decades and decades and it's sad people have to struggle with the same problems.

[@ErictheAmateur]

Get you one of those screw in the ground umbrellas like they use at the beach… for your GoPro. It works pretty well.

[@23431]

@idigit4 you need to get you one of those Irwin hydraulic connector clamps definitely a game changer

Good job and video Brother

[@MartinGandy-k1t]

Great job dude 👏 👍 👌

[@Drew6709]

My dad dug up a ground nest one time with the cable front shovel. He thought it was a bumble bee nest (if I remember correctly). And I remember him saying the bees were mad and swarming the bucket of the machine. I wish I was there when he dug up the nest. But I hate bees/wasps and part of me is glad I wasn't there. With my luck, I would have been stung.

[@randallwickus9883]

I ignore the red wasps and mud dobers but the yellow jackets are just mean. I don’t mind spraying them and what’s there wings melt. Stay strong and spray away

[@lindahollister5530]

Thank you for not getting stung.😂😂😂

[@nathanielaston1896]

You need to change the hydraulic hose on the digger connecting to the attachment

[@ronnie100393]

Information: if you want to call that alligator, start by putting the inside curve between your thumb and index finger and put it to your mouth making a loud sucking sound and that alligator will turn around and come to that sound!! They think it’s baby alligators!! It works real well

[@ericcleland817]

How long do the rubber tracks generally last on the mini excavator machine @IDigit4?

[@idigit4967]

1000ish hours typically. Maybe 2000 depending on what you are doing.

I'm surprised you didn't see any snakes!

Man i wish i had a machine like that!! The wasps have been the worst i have ever seen them! Ive been stung once already, found 3 nests in my garden when i have never had any before! Im freaking out cuz i want to use my garden!

[@CatfishLove]

How many HRS on your machine? I purchased a used 2018 with 1600 HRS on it. It is my first EX, U35-4 Kubota just wondering with good maintenance how many HRS I can expect to get out of it. Controls are very jerky, and it loses power after running for a while. It will just idle down on its own and has no power, after a few minutes it will idle back up but sometimes you have to give it a break to get power back. I keep water sep drained and air filter blown out, it is not running hot temperature wise.

[@idigit4967]

Not sure what the issue is there. I bought mine with 1000 hrs on it and have about 2700 at the moment. Only issue has been the A/C which needed replacing after 10 years. Mine is a 2014 model.

[@stever4360]

Those hose sleeves are a PITA… I have to use vice grip just below free hose coupling and grunt… not as strong as the Digmeister!

[@stromxtc2033]

As you well know, that air conditioners is worth every dime. Make that Kubota pay out!
