Draining a Pond!! Digging out Levee with Caterpillar 322 Trackhoe Excavator 5 acre Pond

Digging out a levee to drain a pond!

[@E3ECO]

You didn't wait around long enough to show us the drained pond?

[@wronganswer9907]

Good time to have a kayak on standby.

[@RCAFTailWind]

People camping on the riverside 2 miles downstream.... What's that noise? 😂

[@williammorris4327]

Yeah. I all ways wonder what the people down stream think when that flood water reaches them.

[@sirMAXX77]

lol

[@bobkirsch2722]

Lol

[@JimBobe]

Lol

[@Spasspolente]

@@williammorris4327 😂😂😂

[@echodots]

Now that was satisfying to watch!

[@albertcyphers1532]

Wife comes out to say the neighbor called.. wants to know why he has two feet of muddy water in his living room 😂

[@j.walker3498]

because he built his house in a flood plain.

[@theyetirulrs]

When the strap holding up the thumb fell off I knew letsdig18 was cringing somewhere 🤣😂🤣

[@Emergenttheory]

Many scientific studies show beaver ponds are rich in insects and invertebrates for food, and fish in ponds are larger and more abundant. Beaver ponds provide important refuges for young fish from predators and from strong currents or spring run-off in larger streams and rivers.

[@TheBigMclargehuge]

Ah that explains my experience the day I drove my Chevy to the levee.

[@adamjkp]

You seriously didn’t wait for it to end

[@davestark5560]

That operator is fantastic. Unbelievable skills. One with the machine. Great video.

[@foldupaudi7645]

he seemed very fluid..agreed

[@jeffreyb6165]

Fish are like what the.......

[@piperanderson5119]

The good stuff starts @3:19

[@Martintex]

oh thks

[@theymusthatetesla3186]

Very cathartic to watch...

[@commandosolo193]

it would be cool to metal detect after it's drained. i wonder whats down there

[@jmr1068204]

3:20 if you're impatient and just want to see it drain. lol

[@sirMAXX77]

I want a job like that. Where all I do is drain lakes and unblock drains on roads.

[@jmr1068204]

Okay, but we have lots of people like that here...they're the roads and drainage people, but you could just as well get stuck with water and sewer. There's a lot of poop involved.

[@gantmj]

Hope everyone downstream has everything in order, because some things are about to get tested.

[@johnstafford4304]

Incomplete. what in the hell happened to the finished product. what a rip off

[@AnkeBaa84]

Wasser Bagger

[@ItsMeScareCro]

@3:22 - the money shot

[@BigRokko5196]

In 20 secs you could see it had gone down 6 inch on the trees must have been fairly small...?

[@davidcampos268]

Nice thumb you put a scarf on it

[@TamimLB]

Animals: Oh yea remember that pond. We can get water from there. Animals 5 Minutes Later: I thought you said this was a pond. Cause this aint a pond, this a desert.

[@nonamemike7149]

It looked like a damned up creek. muggy standing water on one side 15 foot of clay FOR THE ROAD THAT THEY ARE DIGGING UP(see the truck and smooth road). They are probably just going to install a culvert.

[@fabienp3668]

this machine is the dream of post 10 channel

[@barbaraplummer1299]

Are they going to fill the whole in or make a new pond

[@Ms.Nightshade]

If the grabber on the bucket doesn’t have a piston to actuate its movement, why not just remove it? It’d be less weight to haul around and it would save a bit of fuel from the reduction in weight caused by removing the grabber.

[@wreckandraceify]

You ever taken a thumb off an excavator? They aren't exactly something you willingly want to be taking on and off much. The cylinder could have just been off for a rebuild. And believe me, that 1,000 thumb weight isn't going to use anymore fuel for a 54,000lbs machine.

[@Ms.Nightshade]

You make a good point.

[@livingonthetyne]

Starts at @3:15

[@robertrockwell7581]

another video where they pick and pick and pick until the last second. that is why i always fast forward. and it's every video like this with all these guys.

[@nosoulkid6665]

You should check out Andrew camaratas channel he's all action from the beginning

[@WHATcuffy]

I'd love to metal detect around there

[@TheFarmanimalfriend]

Gravity; it's more then a good idea. It's the law.

[@damienalexander6105]

73💩👶

[@I-Love-Taylor-Swift]

At 3:54, I suspect that is actually a strong enough flow to drown someone if they fell in..

[@innergoof19]

Last shovelful at 2:56.

[@MrWhiseguyy]

Alrighty

[@keithkitchener6574]

Is it me or do they fit really small buckets on excavators in the USA?

[@bobkirsch2722]

So...why did you do this?

[@chadevans4922]

Why did they want the pond drained?

[@I-Love-Taylor-Swift]

Imagine standing in that trench at 2:59 !!

[@lauradarnall227]

I wonder how long it took to drain that pond and if there were any fish in it ....and why did you drain it for

[@discokitty2012]

Who filmed this, Michael J. Fox?

[@Pugragger]

3:20 you're welcome

[@Lt_TuckPendleton]

The hero we need

[@Truth10120]

Must be alot of pond u can't see in the video cause that sure don't look like 5 acres bud 😉

[@rayrodriguez1031]

They all do that...thats the onlt diwnfall to these videos they dont show them drained

[@Jim1971a]

Why was this done?

[@saifchowdhury5372]

Would it not be a lot more convenient to drain the water using generator pump and just creation a small overflow by drilling fore pond for future prevention

[@rangerdanger4123]

If you were to take a cup of that water and boil it would it be Drinkable?

[@robertstankowski8897]

No, you would have to do decantation, filter the rest and then boil it

[@updownstate]

Want.

[@carlosubirajaradasilvabass8150]

Gostei

[@emmaathome2902]

Why are you draining the pond anyway?

[@chaizewhiz6528]

I’m here after reading chapter 121 of tonikaku kawaii lol

[@reneramirez2882]

KAYAK BRUH!!

[@hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh4060]

what about the fish?

[@anthonybarnes2355]

Why drain the pond ?

[@michaelking4533]

Where is the 5 acre pond

[@grahamefreestone5309]

More like .5 acre. Lol.

[@bobsmith9329]

That's a small 5 acres.

[@amshaegar1]

and then came 3 pissed off beaver family and chew the fuel lines

[@christophertoti6721]

Letsdig18 did it better! 😁😂🤣😂

[@soonyoungpark1830]

3:23

[@icecold2348]

That's not a caterpillar. I think they call that the backhoe.

[@mauriciobilley]

Oi passa a por um fundo musical ok.

[@bryine.willis8683]

> @short stran...

[@AngieVail]

What becomes of the fish, turtles, and other wildlife??? No thought or plan for that???

[@MrRapperJd]

DRAIN GAANG

[@JesusBltMyHtRd]

When the thumb fell. Lmao. Very next image.....thumb tied up with a strap.

[@Dawnseeker2000]

Heavy machinery porn.

[@peterperrins4916]

I’m not a very good operator is the boy who was in my car I just put the bucket down and take the lot out in one sweep is not worth the money at all have a load of bollocks

[@mikehoward114]

Why would you want to drain a pond

[@linakarama1726]

Why would they drain a pond!! Animals might be drinking from it !!!!!

[@Ronin.Samurai]

Lina Karama do you not see all of that stagnant water? It’s a breeding ground for mosquitoes.

[@dwaynekoblitz6032]

That is exactly what 10 year old me would do. Umm, are we supposed to be impressed by your ignorance?
