Backhoe digging a big spot footing.

[@leepatterson4435]

Beautiful work Frank. Thanks for bringing us along. I'm learning on an old 555E and love watching you dig and explain how to go about different tasks. Much appreciated!

[@Digginok]

Thanks! My first machine was a 555e. Appreciate you watching

[@retiredtraffic12]

Dang Frank, someone should take pictures of your finished work and frame them with fancy frames to be hung in a museum as ‘fine arts’. I vote to hanging them in the Oklahoma State Capital Building Rotunda !!!

[@Digginok]

Good idea! Maybe make a coffee table book

[@alexosborne5629]

Keeping you entertained for a while Frank !! Some good size trenches there for you to dig. They seem to hold water well, never good for getting the right depth when it is there..... Enjoy the music accompaniment too 👍😎

[@Digginok]

It was a nice job, glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching

Nice work. So pretty I would hate to pour concrete in there.

[@Digginok]

Thanks

[@SalamSayhood]

Nice work sir.

[@Digginok]

Thanks my friend

[@ohhpaul7364]

Do they do fill work on these sites or is the ground there just naturally so perfect for a good ditch?

[@Digginok]

Yes it is a cut and fill, as for the dirt, it is what you make it. Bad operators blame the dirt, good operators do too! 😂

[@Nudnik1]

All rock here. Nice ground there. Does it turn to stick mud?

[@Digginok]

This is a cut and fill, soft shale, so it sheds water pretty good. Gets a bit slick

[@scruffy6151]

👍👍

[@richwielechowski5191]

Frank, how is Jeff doing? Going to take a couple truck loads to fill that last hole. Thanks for sharing and have a good weekend!

[@Digginok]

Jeff is fine, pain in the behind, but he is doing well.

[@Jpaydirt]

@@Digginok Well......a pain am I? hmmphf

[@Digginok]

Well the goat is, hope you are doing well !

It's a shame that all your pretty work is always covered up with dirt and concrete. Looks good Mr. Frank.

[@Digginok]

Yeah it looks good for a while! Thanks

[@royceabbottsexcavation3709]

I thought them guys was never going to pump them footings out.

[@Digginok]

Me too!

[@ryangarrett3795]

Hey Frank, in a diesel and iron livestream awhile back you said that a backhoe digs better footings than a mini excavator if I recall correctly. I’m not asking sarcastically but I’m genuinely curious as to what about the backhoe in your opinion leads to this, is there anything different about it or is it operator preference?

[@Digginok]

Have you seen a footing dug better by a mini? 😂

[@ryangarrett3795]

@@Digginok to be fair I’ve never seen anyone dig footers nearly as good as you but in my area it’s nearly impossible to get anything even close to what you do. I’m just curious as to whether it’s what you as the operator is comfortable and used to operating or if there’s something about the geometry or movement of the backhoe that gives it the ability to dig a cleaner trench

[@Digginok]

Yes the backhoe has a lot of advantages over a mini ex. The length of ditch is greater, it can dig deeper, faster, from one setting, the bucket is bigger, the machine can self level the platform is more stable, less setup time. Not to mention how much morework the loader can do over a mini or even a mini skid combo. But what would I know? Lol

[@Digginok]

To be fair the operator matters as well, I have tried my hand at mini ex digging, I wouldn’t say I hate them, but I’d rather shovel a footing.

[@ryangarrett3795]

@@Digginok thanks for answering, I know we give you a hard time on the Diesel and Iron livestream but I hope you don’t take any of that seriously as it’s just meant as fun and games. It’s interesting to see what the argument is from the other perspective.

[@markeholbrook]

I thought you were digging a Bigfoot spotting. Why do I see things different from normal people? Probably because I'm abnormal.

[@Digginok]

Did you not see Bigfoot? 😂 sorry

[@markeholbrook]

@@Digginok I saw bigfoot spotting, you don't knowhow bad I can mess up a phone number! No I didn't see Bigfoot, I was looking for him/her!
