Failure In A Pond Dam

[@delcasaleexcavating9508]

Another excellent job Chris !! I really appreciate your attention to detail and explaining the process before, during and after ! Thanks for sharing.....

[@mischef18]

What a big difference that has made already, That bit you got the dirt from would be an ideal spot for a camp in the woods and have the pond right there.

[@TrevorDennis100]

It's just amazing what the two of you can achieve in a single day, and with just the mini and the skid steer. I think what I like about this channel is no matter how many videos I watch, I continue to be impressed with your problem solving and all round knowledge. Good stuff. One thing I was wondering about, is that the dirt you had to use did not look ideal for a pond dam. I guess you have to work with what you've got, unless the client wants to pay to have truck loads of clay brought in.

[@letsdig18]

this only took about half a day

[@barrb6134]

It' amazes me that with your quest for perfection, you even have enough time to go home. Great Job!

[@webmozaic]

The sideways twisty thing (technical description) on the bucket is clever, and useful.

[@tinysworld1749]

Man, where I am, we find ledge on every job site. It gets fun trying to place a foundation and septic tank and leech bed every time

[@michaelmcclure8673]

I like how you used that pile of cinder blocks. Makes me see green when people dump stuff like that.

[@HughzieTube]

The practice on your Hitachi with mechanical thumb comes in handy when you've got the thumb on the Yanmar disabled for the tilt bucket.

[@TrevorDennis100]

A good call Hughzie. I hadn't occurred to me that the tilt bucket used the same hydraulic circuit as the thumb.

[@BeytekinConstructionMachinery]

The varity of your jobs is awesome. Best regards from Germany!

[@SemiErnie]

That was a mess , dam !! you two are good LOL. Always love seeing the the end results , tks for sharing cause I sure do like what you do .

[@mattywho8485]

So the matting that you put in the spillway is designed to have grass grow up through it so the water can rush over it without washing out the dirt?

[@jayadinash9102]

Nice videos. It was cool to see the rotating bucket at work.

[@TheHayruss]

Great work once again. It would be great if you could go back to some of your work sites to see how well it has stood up to weather and time and do a before and after type thingy. Just a suggestion as I am often curious as I think others are how the job sites look like now. Cheers H

[@Colorado-Tinkering]

The end result sure speaks for your quality. I too couldn’t quite figure out how the water was supposed to flow before your repairs (“the same damn way!”). Mostly that pipe is confusing. An overflow pipe? If so, did you put it back in?

[@addiedeguzman3201]

What a mess but nothing impossible in your good machines especially the operator. I enjoyed swatching you before until you finished the the project.

[@tucobenedicto109]

Real nice , what seed type do you use? one that works with that are or general grassland?

[@Reddell1969]

Batman and Robin save the day again! Raleigh-Durham is lucky to have both around.

[@1013redoak]

Another great job! I always look forward to your videos! Thank you for taking the time to record them!

[@tracydavis3149]

Good video today Chris. All of your video's are good.

[@gregorymann2394]

I wish you were closer to Salem, Illinois. I could sure use your services on my 40 acre farm.

[@63256325N]

Nicely done as always. Thanks for the video.

[@timhottinger2166]

What you need to invest in is a compactor for your excavator. Its slower but they work great. I can drive wooden posts in the ground with mine. I've tried tracking my ditches in . But they wont test out 95% as required by specs. So I bought a hydraulic compactor, 10k later. I have no problem now . Hope it works well for ya.

[@glennspreeman1634]

have to agree on the dirt. looks waynto dry to compact very well

[@brownwarrior6867]

Quality finish as per 😎👍🏼

[@robfraley4210]

It wouldn’t seem like there would be a hard lime-rock layer that shallow. 11:15. 🤭🤷🏻‍♂️

[@eliteearthworksllc]

That tilt bucket is sweet! Nice use of the blocks! 🤣👍🏻

[@AnimalMother85]

Who manufactured the tilt grading bucket for the yanmar?

[@letsdig18]

id say but they arnt in business anymore lol

[@Remington-ej9ot]

What is the permanent mating that you use?

[@Todd.Roberts]

Yeah that was a Jerry rig mess but as always it’s fixed right now

[@bobbymcbulge18]

Badabingbadaboom,....... on to the next one!

[@sonmydful]

those yanmars diesels are so damn quiet in the cab. nice tilt attachment, you operate it well

[@oldenslo4141]

Where are you N.C.? I have some property in Western NC and need some work done. I like watching your shows. My wife says "how can you watch a guy just move dirt around?" Ah... what does she know?

[@letsdig18]

send me a email [e-mail]

[@kerrygleeson4409]

Great job as always 👍🇦🇺🚜

[@waynetharp]

Is it true??? That ya have to be licensed operator or have 5000 hour experience inorder to purchase/lease an Yanmar, because they are so fast and powerful???

[@matthewmcdaniel8846]

No not true lol

[@graphicextremes2591]

I rent Yanmar excavators all the time, great machines

[@janvandenbos7085]

Sounds like a very nice job again Chris your the specialist.......👌👍🤔

[@yanceylindley5172]

The mini is stronger than i would expect!

[@petenolte4192]

People never learn that they need to call you to fix the dam and not try to do it themselves

[@shammi8133]

I need a diagram what was the plastic pipe for

[@fishtrucksdirt8041]

Looked like a failed drain pipe...the cause of the majority of dam leaks leading to washouts........right behind beavers and trees dying.

[@wernercohrs4439]

Great video best regards from south Australia

[@leehilton9932]

South Dakota DOT needs to hire you to come fix some spillways that let go a month ago. Took out the road an all

[@dirtdauberexcavation1104]

Good video 👍👍👍

[@slhomeandpropertymaintenan183]

Man. Is it like pond capital of the world where you live. Every job you do involves a pond 🤭

[@rakeempeace2991]

I agree with you on that one

[@letsdig18]

they love their ponds here, there are plenty more to see coming up LOL

[@fishtrucksdirt8041]

All we do in Texas is ponds.....and 80% of our business is fixing people's "pond issues"

A job well done 👍

Plays WithKnives people were probably trespassing and leaving trash everywhere

[@timhottinger2166]

I hate to inform you, but tracking it in , is not the same as rolling it in with a sheepfoot. Probably fail again. Especially a pond bank. Been there done that.

[@letsdig18]

Ive never had one fail, must not have done it right

[@nedoh2662]

Maybe check your moisture content Tim . Probably does more than your sheepfoot.

[@fishtrucksdirt8041]

Moisture content, clay content, and operator knowledge will win ths DAM argument.

[@timhottinger2166]

@@nedoh2662 That is only 1 of the factors in a 95% compaction test. We always submit a proctor to the testing agency, before starting a job.
