Installing a Dump Tank With the Volvo 140 turns out to be Quite the challenging job

[@markkenes4848]

I'm 60 and looking for a job. Got 30+ years operating equipment and am a big joker when it's time to have a little fun with the boss. The last thing I ran was an 11 but can run many different prices of equipment and even a hand shovel,.. And I got to have at least $60 an hour.. and if you read this far, I'm retired and loving it. Did I get ya!!!!! Lol. Great job on the hope and not letting anyone in that hole!!

[@GMBiorn]

Another splendid production from DirtPerfect. Thanks.

[@DirtPerfect]

Thanks

[@NotJustaTool]

Good on ya Mike for recognizing a bad situation. I can't believe Ralph. You saved him there. Tell alot about a man's equipment. You're doing well with that Volvo. Cheers Mike! G1

Thanks mr. Dirt Perfect for sharing another great video!😁👍

[@DirtPerfect]

Thanks for watching Jerry

[@eliteearthworksllc]

You did great man! Not much you can do with bad ground and everyone saying the hole should have been benched probably has never set a tank. The truck couldn’t reach it if it was benched. No one got hurt and you got the job done. I call it a win 👍🏻

[@DirtPerfect]

I agree never as easy as it looks 😝😂😁

[@TrailTrackers]

That guy was driving that truck like he had a burning hemorrhoid he was trying to get off of. I would have told him to slow the F down if it were my truck. ;-)) Volvo looks good. And the bucket is tight! Heck yeah...

[@timk.2381]

I think this guy drives normally an automatic car and / or Truck, that is why i drives this truck in the high rpm

Noce size machine for you Mike , I hope is half as good as the 120 was to you. I knew you'd like the blade. I wish they ut them on the 20 ton machines. Good luck with it. Make lots of $

[@Digginok]

Just a bit stressful huh! Always hate setting precast that deep, we never put anyone in them that deep, always use pea gravel or sand to level them. Better for everyone to go home safe than to worry over having the tank perfect. Nice work

[@DirtPerfect]

Exactly thanks buddy

Great job Chris! ..oh crap, I did it again. 😋

Lol 😝

[@richied6319]

I am not sure how the blade can be in the way when you can simply operate with the blade behind you and have just the tracks in front of you as the 120 has no blade. Enjoying all the videos with all the aspects in driving and hauling too!

[@waltermattson5566]

Nice job again. I would think it will take a few jobs to like the new machine.

[@jmdarling76]

Volvo is doing good, little more seat time and you will be right at home on it like the 120. Looks like the plumber missed his mark by about 2 ft., would have saved you some diggin and a few risers. Always entertaining videos, keep up the great work.

[@DirtPerfect]

Thanks James

Hey Dirt, You said you dig flat bottom hole(s),lol your other half would not like you saying that,heehee. Keep safe brother and keep up the good work.

[@DirtPerfect]

Lol

[@danslawncare8594]

Hey Mike. When you get some good seat time in the 140 you will love. I feel the same way when I buy a new truck. For the first week I hate it but after that I love it. Good luck.

[@DirtPerfect]

I agree thanks dan

[@TrevorDennis100]

Some years ago at my place of work, contractors dug a 20' X 20' X 20' hole inside the factory building finishing just before the Christmas break. This was going to be filled with reinforced concrete to provide a massive base for a hydraulic rig that would perform accelerated durability on vehicle components. When we returned to work after Christmas, a 40' high floor to roof stanchion, which was situated about a metre from one side of the hole, had collapsed into the hole making a huge area of flat roof sag. Plus a lot of the services like steam for heating, compressed air power and water that run just under the roof had been ruptured. Thank goodness the 7000psi 3" hydraulic lines that drove the rigs, were at ground level, because they made an incredible mess when they let loose (usually from operator error opening the wrong valve). The repairs took months and cost millions. AFAIR the hole was not shored or braced in any way, and that stanchion must have supported tons and tons. I don't remember what sort of footing it had beneath the floor. All I can say is that you were probably right when you told your man it was too dangerous to go into the hole, but that was a smart move shoring up the side nearest the building for when he did go down there. I was still nervous seeing the truck driver put down his jacks so close to the edge of the hole, and that it was pretty much inevitable that the was a minor collapse. I know your gut was telling you that the truck driver was too close, so you probably need to trust your judgement and speak up if that happens again.

[@davec7104]

Trevor. Was that by any chance in the UK,? Worked on one exactly like that. brought all the 6' Hydraulic Mains down. We had to re-run the lot. ps. .. Mike. Great job.!!

[@TrevorDennis100]

@@davec7104 Ford Research & Engineering/Product Development at Dunton in Essex in the UK. We call the area the Rig Shop, but it's proper name was probably something like Accelerated Durability. The rig that was going on that big mass was called a Shake & Rattle rig (I think - it was a long time ago. Mid to late nineties probably.

[@davec7104]

Trevor Dennis yep. That was the same job.!! On my way home from a job in France & got diverted to Dunton. Hydraulic Main at high level was 6" Dia. A lot of it came down. We (Command Hyd) where there for Weeks replacing that lot.!!! .... Happy days.

[@TrevorDennis100]

@@davec7104 Goodness. It's a small world all right. After reading your comment I realised that the bed plates all had walkways between them, so the hydraulic pipes would have to have come from overhead. I imagine that the pumps (there were either two or three of them, and they looked pretty big to me) would have been shut down over Christmas, or at least have had a cut out if they detected zero back pressure. I dread to think what it would have all cost!

[@lakesideranch]

Good call not letting your helper get in that excavation. He needs to be a bit gentle with your truck also. Glad the Volvo is growing on ya, it's a good looking machine with some great features. Work safe, stay warm. Enjoy your week! Doug@ the "ranch"

Just a tip if you ever that the how down in a hole put the blade behind you when you go in or it hangs you up coming out .

[@DirtPerfect]

👍

[@Bazza1973ify]

I'd be replacing the horn on the 140 with a nice "Quarry Spec" air horn just for one reason Mike....... To wake Kleeman up when he's least expecting it 😂😂

Do you pump water in the tank to stop it from floating in the rain? Or was that one deep enough to not have to worry about it? From your auction vids, I'm not sure your opinion of the valvo has gotten much better.... lol

No not here

[@ROTTK9]

@@DirtPerfect - only because a common thief can not easily carry it away, with all the regs for getting large equipment down the road the DOT would stop most for safety violations, also if driven off a site just follow the tracks. a smart thief knows there is less time in jail for $10 items than specialty equipment, the difference between petty theft and grand larceny.
