Always take pictures from both directions and store them away so you know where the lines are in the future. Keep up the good work!

[@TKCL]

I do

[@dougdavis4439]

Cool new attachment, Andrew. That beats the heck out of a shovel alright! Having the water out there is a game changer. Enjoyed it, thanks for sharing.

[@TKCL]

It's amazing what equipment can do. The days of back breaking shovel work are over. Take care!

[@Rhinox-Group]

An awesome video - thank you for the honest review! We look forward to seeing it in action again soon!

[@TKCL]

Really cool design you've created, I'm looking forward to using it again.

[@jeremiahs45]

Nice job Andrew. Always fun to play in the dirt. Cool new attachment bucket.

[@TKCL]

It is fun! Glad you enjoyed the vid.

[@wolverine89893]

I have to say seeing you use that trencher bucket it looked like it was faster than a Ditch Witch. And your right less equipment as well as moving parts so it is a win win there.

[@TKCL]

Hard to say the speed between the two, with that said, it sure beats a shovel 🤣

[@michaelstreet7864]

Great attachment! That’s going to come in handy.

[@TKCL]

Yep, it really makes a difference!

[@firstname6208]

I have the rhinox ripper tooth. It also has the reinforced tip. If you can get it in a crack in concrete it will lift it up. Ill have to see if it can trench a water line. Works excellent for ripping tree roots. For back filling you can make a leveling bar out of a 5' piece of 8" I beam. Get some bucket ears that fit your machine and weld em to the I beam, done.

[@TKCL]

I've thought about making a beam, the 36 inch bucket works well. I for sure want their ripper tooth, I have been tackling a lot of stumps lately.

[@MrMERCER10]

What is the frost line or freeze line there, if they even have one? In Minnesota where I am at its 42" to 60".

[@TKCL]

None in Florida.

[@MrMERCER10]

@@TKCL Yeah, I seen you answered that in the video AFTER I asked the question. My fault.

[@jonathangreenawalt5724]

You need to weld a plow on top so you can drag the trench bucket better with the dirt being pushed to both sides better. Make it adjustable so you can set the depth you want.

[@TKCL]

It would for sure need to be adjustible. Maybe Rhinox will see this comment as other suggested wings on the side to roll the dirt.

[@brandon.buchanan81]

Check out the Freeze Miser for your water lines. Keeps them from freezing up and it’s so simple. Just bought a handful of them and used them during our recent snow event in Houston. Worked like a charm and I did t wrap a single pipe

[@TKCL]

That's been a popular suggestion.

[@SouthernMedicRN]

I have converted to only using frost free facets outside. Haven't had one freeze yet. Only a few hours north of you.

[@TKCL]

I'd like to use those, but I have a crazy amount of outside faucets and that would get very expensive fast.

[@b-lopez394]

Just wondering if you can attach that on your big tractor as a ripper. It will do job faster

[@josephcampbell007]

Ok Lets address the obvious thing. Brother you have lost a lot of weight, and are looking good. Great job!! this trenching bucket is an awesome addition to the attachment arsenal to the mini excavator. Just pointing out you were missing your safety officer Ruger. 👍👍🇺🇸

[@TKCL]

Thanks! The bucket is a game changer for me and ol Ruger was taking a nap on the job lol.

[@ShaneZettelmier]

You should get some of that magnetic sensor tape. Basically when you put in underground plumbing or wiring, it’s just a tape that goes over it and they’ve got a thing that’s like a metal detector wand so you can check before you dig and make sure you know you’re not cutting into the lines or the waterand when you do dig you just put it about a foot above your pipe and everything and when you hit the tape, you know you’re close

[@TKCL]

I see people do that and or caution tape.

[@KD-ss7rf]

Apparently frost is not an issue where you are, we run water lines at 5’ deep to prevent freezing

[@TKCL]

Covered that in the video, we are in Florida. Absolutely zero frost line. 1ft deep is plenty safe.

[@radmilamiljanic5977]

Great, happy for you:)))

[@jerrydemas2020]

You could make wings that attach to the holes in the trenching bucket that pushes the dirt out of the way as you trench

[@TKCL]

That's not a bad idea if you dig all the way down. Most of the time I'll probably be digging around 12 inches.

[@ShaneZettelmier]

It’s funny you’re always messing with my dreams. I wanted a skid steer and a backhoe and one of those ditchwitch trenching machines, but if you got an excavator in this, you don’t even need a ditchwitch anymore. 😂

[@TKCL]

You sure don't, this is a simple, yet awesome attachment.

[@jonathangreenawalt5724]

Also need a wall mounted soap dispenser and pressure washer. Doesnt need to be to powerful, just for cleaning.

[@milesharlan1]

Thank You. I would have run directly to the pump & not to the closest water source. I also would have upsized the pipe to 1 1/2 in because of such a long run. The lose of water volume per minute or gallons per minute of water flow that great of distance from pump. I know the cost of PVC would be about 33% more but you would be happy! Thank you again, and I like the new attachment!! KUTGW

[@TKCL]

Most run 3/4 lines here, I am already upsizing by running 1 inch. I am happy with the pressure at the hose.

[@milesharlan1]

@TKCL thank you..pressure would be the same. The volume output per minute would be more if you upsize for such a long distance.. Something to think 🤔 about when to want to run a new line to the food plot.. Feel free to talk to a professional plumber about water resistance in such a long run with 1 inch verse 1 1/2 pipe.. Have a great rest of your day & see you in the next video or live stream!!😀😉

[@jeboutdoors377]

Hello you need to get a blade hookup for your bobcat to put the dirt in the holes or trenches better.

[@TKCL]

I wanted a 6 way dozer blade for doing that, but it costs thousands and I can't justify it.

[@BobCaseyAerial]

Much cheaper than a ditch witch for sure

[@TKCL]

For sure and even a few rentals pays for one of these quickly.

[@plow9133]

We use a black poly water pipe come in a big roll, no gluing needed,you can get it in from 100 ft to 1000ft very easy to us

[@TKCL]

I'm trying to find some here, I just don't see anyone using it for some reason.

[@plow9133]

@@TKCL Most of the time I get it at Lowes, but yes that's all we use under ground for water but i see Amazon has it too

[@CrystalAbbyNormal]

Looks easier than a ditch witch and you get to be inside out of the cold and wind. That's important for us older folks. 🚜🚜🚜

[@TKCL]

That's a very valid point.

[@Zimflash1]

Hey Andrew, Barry. My question do you GPS mark your underground utilities for future reference if needed?

[@TKCL]

I do not, but I do take pictures and of course I have the video content.

[@jeboutdoors377]

Hello I got a question. I'm looking for a flagpole what kind is your. I'm wanting some in one or two pieces but some that doesn't bend over in a Storm.... Great videos love watching your videos.

[@TKCL]

I got it from Service First Flag Poles

[@JDMM150]

Pipe layer on the back of your tractor would have been the quickest way. Digs and lays the pipe and you would hardly see the line afterwards. Using that bucket leaves alot of clean up

[@MarkWilson-dt8zw]

You need to use primer before the glue on pressurized water lines

[@TKCL]

That is not entirely true and only required in certain situations or if your local code requires it. Per Florida plumbing code AND per Oatey glue instructions on the back of the can. Primer is not required for up to 2 inch pressurized pvc or 4 inch drain pvc if using a quality glue that meets ASTM 2564 standards. I've never once in over 40 years experienced a joint failure with just glue.

[@MarkWilson-dt8zw]

@@TKCL In AL its code inspector will fail ya here

[@TKCL]

I understand that, but that doesn't make it code everywhere else. Each state and each county all have their own set of rules, it's really frustrating. I have a feeling Florida isn't the only state that honors this, or Oatey wouldn't take time to print it on their cans of glue.

[@theElderberryFarmer]

Just curious - why use PVC rather than a roll of black polly pipe or pex? I know I'd try to avoid all of the bend-over labor of gluing up all of the joints. Take care and God Bless.

[@TKCL]

Just not common here, I've seen people use it online.

[@markschuette869]

Curious. Why didn't you use 1" black poly pipe by the roll and minimize your couplings that could fail in the future? It could also be cheaper cost of materials. And remember even if you do it, you should still account for your labor cost. 300' roll of poly would take less than 1/4 of the time to install. Just a thought. Do like the looks of the trencher bucket. Happy Trails!!

[@jp34604]

You missed the point. It's not about demonstrating the best tool for the job. It's about showcasing the job you can do with the tool. When it comes to affiliate marketing, KZbin is a business.

[@markschuette869]

@@jp34604 I'm sorry but you missed my point! I wasn't complaining about the tool. Matter of fact I think it did a great job and would be a good investment. I was talking about the choice of pipe that Andrew used. A single roll of black poly pipe would have been a lot easier and cheaper to install than all of those glue joints every 10 ' and you minimize the chance of those joints coming apart in the future. Black poly is a bit more flexible and forgiving than pvc. Pvc can get a bit brittle over a long time. (a decade or 2). Read my first comment again!!

[@bobniles1928]

I would also have used HDPE Poly pipe.

[@TKCL]

We just don't use or see that pipe around here and I don't know why. I have seen it used on videos with those cool attachments that lay it in the ground for you.

[@Jd-vr4li]

Been plumber for 35 years and I have fixed thousands of leaks on poly pipe for no reason it just Springs a hole in the side of the pipe PVC is the way to go for water lines

[@dan2496]

I know you know a subsoiler on the back of your tractor would of been faster. That is some easy soil to rip though.

[@TKCL]

That makes a wide tench with the spade on it and only goes a few inches deep. Definitely not for trenching.

[@larryatkins4512]

Hello Andrew great attachment for your equipment and so much a time and money saving good video thanks for sharing

[@TKCL]

Love it! Thanks for watching!

[@duramaxmak]

You should look for a used bobcat hydraulic trencher put a bobcat exchange plate on it run it off your third valve on excavator.

[@TKCL]

I looked at hydraulic trenchers, very expensive.

[@gcampbell83]

I really enjoy watching Andrew put his brain to work and accomplish any task he sets out to do

[@TKCL]

Thanks for watching!

[@rongray4847]

Hi Andrew 400 feet is pretty good, that’s a nice attachment. Job well done. 🇨🇦

[@TKCL]

Yep, that’s a lot of trench!

[@signal20k9]

Next time get your pipe from Mayo Hardware. They carry 20ft sections with bell ends so half the joints and no couplings. I love that attachment and the excavator too! Great job!

[@TKCL]

My local supplier with 20ft sections was sold out, that's exactly what I wanted.

[@ryanzynda5114]

Awesome video. Love the channel😊

[@TKCL]

Thank you! Glad you're enjoying it!

[@kewpiefan72]

You have the coolest accessories!

[@kevinmahon4460]

It seems like you could just stick the bucket in the ground and drive backwards?

[@TKCL]

That only breaks up the surface, takes roughly 3 pulls to clear the Trench.

[@billwelch3421]

If you wanted the 6 inch bucket do you have to get a different mounting plate or can you just change out the bucket?

[@TKCL]

Plates are welded on, so you would need to get a whole new setup. I like your idea of one plate and bucket change outs. Maybe Rhinox will see this comment.

[@byronholmes2496]

Good day to all.

[@TKCL]

Good day to you too!

[@jimanon5681]

That's brilliant. I'm just curious do you ever write down ( or draw) on your blueprints or anything like that to know where you put water lines, electrical lines, etc. on your property? I know you have videos on it. Just asking.

[@TKCL]

I take pictures and of course have video.

[@TheRooster1122]

HEY KELLY, What ya got there a primer & glue all in one?????

[@TKCL]

Nope, just glue, primer is overrated and not required per Florida plumbing code AND per Oatey glue (on the back of the can). After my entire life of using glue and never using primer, not one failed joint. Look up ASTM 2564.

[@johnkirby6547]

Nice job Andrew, quick and easy.

A million projects to do!

[@jimg6630]

Clever back filling. Our rocks might make that difficult. Record time for laying lines and pipe.

[@TKCL]

It came to me while I was trying to use the main blade. I've personally never seen anyone do that, but I am sure I didn't come up with it.

[@kevinmahon4460]

Woohoo

[@PJ-uv9fr]

Hmmm...maybe you just don't show it, but it seems really strange to me that you never bed your pipe before you backfill the trench. I know you have sandy soil, but that's just good practice, even if it's your own project. What happened to the hand drilled well you put in a couple of years ago? Is it in a totally different area?

[@TKCL]

I do go down the entire trench and press the pipe into the soil and also dig out any high spots. The hand well is down in my food plot, another area than shown.

[@PJ-uv9fr]

[@redneckways1617]

Now if you go back and replace the 3 90s with 6 45s you will have a lot better water flow and pressure

Hey Andrew, Have you ever considered using a subsoiler with pipe laying attachment on your 3 point?

[@TKCL]

I have seen those, but never used one. I am curious about them.

[@bonsukan]

@ I was just thinking where you’re at, no worry about frost lines and sandy loam soil, it might work quite nicely. It might do OK in some parts of my property but in others we do have rock (limestone)

[@TKCL]

I've used one several times on the channel to run pipe and wire, they don't work well. I had to do a lot of hand digging.

[@TG-zd9de]

Mate, run a scratch pass, then set the depth of your bucket and track. 🤌👍

[@TKCL]

I mentioned that in the video after learning the attachment. Works great.

[@TG-zd9de]

@TKCL yes, great video. Such a time saver.
