Cleaning out a cattle guard.

[@snigbylife]

Being an Okie who grew up between Shawnee and Meeker, I loved seeing your travel down those good 'ol dirt roads. I'm currently a city boy (EDMOND!) who's looking to move back "home". Thanks for your content.

[@dirtfarmer7472]

That’s pretty much what I did, retired moved back to home town it’s kinda nice, you’ll like it

[@weathda]

Your experience really shows. Some great tips on angling the machine both on the front by swinging the boom and the rear by jacking up on one side or the other. Really enjoy watching these types of projects you do.

Hey work is work, as long as it keeps coming, we keep going ! 😊 Thanks for sharing and take care. 👍 HAPPY 4th Frank ! 🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲

[@Digginok]

Not complaining for sure I take what I can! Happy 4th!!!

[@eliteearthworksllc]

Another great video Frank! The rain has been a killer this year! Lol got to love guys like, it will last long enough. Sounds like it’s time for a Dynahoe 🤣

[@Digginok]

thanks! Would have been a great job for the dynahoe, just leave the KW at home and drive it to work. Heck just leave it in the river bottom, might help with the erosion problem too!

[@eliteearthworksllc]

Digginok 🤣 that’s probably the best use of one

[@davidbird4771]

Frank, you are a man of many talents. Another couple of jobs well done.

[@Digginok]

Thanks Dave!

[@shootersoptiontargets]

never the same thing when frank is working, never know what you might see. Great job frank.

[@Digginok]

I do get some different stuff sometimes! Thanks!

[@bombardier3qtrlbpsi]

Has you were driving to the site you can see the pipe vibrating on the loader. Great job thanks for sharing.

[@Digginok]

Bombardier64 yes I noticed that too, thanks for watching!

[@ConstructionMachinesChannel]

Great to see your work. Nicely done as usual. Cool video 👍

[@Digginok]

Thanks!

[@kennethdodds2323]

Pretty country. Looks like you had a good breeze.

[@Digginok]

Thanks, we usually do have a breeze, till it gets really hot.

[@stephenwagar2663]

I Would Have To Say " You Make That Look Easy " , And I Know It Aint. Happy 4th To You And Your Family !!! 17 Thumbs Up

[@Digginok]

Thanks! And Happy 4th!

[@arkansas1336]

A good repair, thanks for the video.

[@Digginok]

Thanks, and thank you for watching!

[@dalepremo3695]

Well, that was a little different and very interesting - a bit mushy for sure, but looking forward to Part II. Liked the Rice Burner muffler analogy. Happy 4th Frank!

[@Digginok]

Thanks Dale! Glad you enjoyed it! Happy Independence Day!

[@lakesideranch]

Hey Frank! Hope you had a great 4th. Cool video showing your agricultural knowledge and operator excellence. Never knew those gates were set into the ground, you made me smarter watching this video! Work safe friend. Doug@ the "ranch"

[@Digginok]

Thanks for watching Doug, there are several ways to set them. This is the cheap and dirty method, some guys get fancy and set them on a concrete foundation, but around here most are just set in the dirt.

[@leol1682]

Like the video Frank your a very good operater on the Backho

[@Digginok]

Thank you! Thanks for watching.

[@DC-1]

Cool video Frank...hope you and the family have a great July 4th. 👍🇺🇸

[@Digginok]

Thanks! You too! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@KPearce57]

I have 8 cattle guards and they are sitting on concrete end foundations with drainage pipes been in 25 years, but where I'm at in Texas we don't have many floods. Your exhaust pipe was on there when you took it off the truck.

[@Digginok]

Yeah a lot of the newer oilfield stuff uses concrete foundations. Most farmers don’t want to spend that kind of money. I caught it before it fell completely off.

[@stevenmurata4392]

I must have drank too much, I thought, I saw Frank using a hand shovel instead of "B", lol. That limb hit probably helped loosen that exhaust pipe. Didn't realize they were just set in the ground, thought they had a concrete foundation. Take care.

[@Digginok]

I think you are good, I attempted to use one, shortly remembered I’m allergic to them! Thanks for watching!

[@waynecompton7612]

Good morning Frank, thank you for the video, Mother Nature sure can cause some damage!! Sorry about your exhaust pipe broke on silencer box???? Anyway Take Care and catch you next time 👍😎🇬🇧.

[@Digginok]

Thanks for watching Wayne, it’s amazing what a lot of water can do. I’got it fixed, thanks and take care! 👍😎🇺🇸

[@jimzivny1554]

Nice project, should last quite a while barring any more floods. Might have to convert Lil' Red to 4X4!

[@digginfitz7249]

Great work, good video as always. Little Red could used some patriotic Red, White and Blue for the 4th, LOL, Just wandering which you prefer and you thoughts on the difference between dual stick v/s pilot controls? maybe I could catch that reply on a Saturday Night conversation. Keep those good ones coming. Reply

[@Digginok]

Thanks! I do need to get the flag in reds back window! Love the pilots, way easier for long days of continuous footings. I’ll try to get a live stream soon.

[@stevewarner8880]

Good video Frank. The farmers up here in Illinois don’t use cattle guards. Hope you and your family had a great 4th! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@Digginok]

Thanks Steve, guess we are too lazy to always have to open and close gates!

[@73DiamondReo]

its been raining like crazy every few days here. happy independence day and hope you're staying busy

[@Digginok]

We are up to a week without rain finally!!! Lots of work right now for sure.

[@billymcclanahan1794]

Happy 4th frank and to all.

[@Digginok]

Thanks Billy happy 4th to you!

[@garymaxfield1722]

I bought a Ford 4500 in 1968 and they are basically still using the same boom, interesting.

[@Digginok]

Yes a few minor changes, they had the design right on the boom!

[@TheDavidarlen]

What kind of a cutting edge is that on your loader bucket?

[@Digginok]

David seaquist it’s a smooth edge that I cut out notches with a torch. It works pretty well, I’m about due for a new one though. If I can I’ll make a video of how I did it.

[@TheDavidarlen]

@@Digginok would love to see that! I thought maybe you could order a serrated edge cutting blade. It it similar to a tooth bucket or tooth bar?

[@TheDavidarlen]

Actually there is one made for a skid steer by www.virnigmfg.com/ looks interesting possibly could fit your bucket?

[@TheDavidarlen]

[@Digginok]

David seaquist lots of places sell them but they are pricey. It’s not hard to make one.

[@daledenotter6398]

did you fix your gator

[@Digginok]

No had to get to some other stuff.

[@BrysonSmith82]

We have a better view with the muffler out of the way.

[@Digginok]

Well that’s true.

[@scruffy6151]

Happy 4th of July

Happy Independence Day!
