Hammering a drainage trench behind a house

Using a Kubota KX121-3 mini excavator with a Mongo tilt bucket and a Yanmar b37 excavator with a rock blaster hammer to dig a drainage trench behind a house.

Hey Andrew my name is Cody, I live near Asheville NC. I came across your videos a while back and let me tell you... Best drug there is. I'm addicted. Not a day or night goes by that I'm not watching or rewatching your videos, The passion you have is truly inspiring, love how you explain and breakdown everything you talk about, and being a dog person myself, I really enjoy how you always include Levi and Cody into everything you do. Can't wait to see all your future videos, thank you for all that you do. Cody.

I don’t believe they intended the hammer for the concrete lining initially already. An excavator easily scoops that not-reinforced layer of concrete away. The homeowner knew about the bedrock for which he adviced Andrew to bring the hammer.

The reason Andrew is so darn popular is because he has the "it" factor. The combination of personality, knowledge, talent, respect, creativity, caring, calmness etc. is very rare these days. You have a bright and a more successful future coming your way Andrew... Anyone who loves dogs and welds a thin, 1/8 inch wide piece of steel to rescue an old chainsaw is OK in my book... My favorite phrase Andrew always uses is, "that thing." Well done Andrew Camarata, Dad Camarata, Levi and Cody...PS...Love your third floor castle door and "Lets get to work.".....

That bucket set up is the ticket. I owed a small excavation company in NY State years ago. I wish they had the mini excavators and track skid steer units available back then. I did new site work on the side of mountains from clearing, to the concrete work. You have a great setup. Nice work Andrew.

Cody drinks many different water source's, but he didn't rip any sticks out of the ground this time, and he didn't take off with any gloves, tow straps, and he wasn't running like a mad dog. Thanks for another great video, and the rock bed you have down there is hard core, literally. God bless.

[@markstevens1729]

I live in the mountains in the west and the ground is granite versus shale. It will break, but the small hammer Andrew has wouldn’t do it. I see hammers on 335 and larger machines. Mostly, it’s blasted away. Much quicker and quieter than hammering, but not for a shallow trench.

[@dgsantafedave1]

Yet another incredible job. Not easy ground and Andrew is a grafter. Respect to the guy driving the truck and doing groundwork. Love the tilt bucket. It appears to have a greater degree of curl with the system making it a little longer.

[@murraywestenskow2896]

Andrew's special touch is the little things. He didn't have to go back and get video of the water flow - but that made the whole twenty minutes of digging worth while - you can see that the problem went away - and there was a ton of water flowing through there. Good Job Andrew.

Hi Andrew, didn't you buy this huge rock cutting wheel (6 feet or so) that you used to put a power line out from the workshop to a light at the corner? I thought that would have worked pretty well there.

Good morning Andrew, this job was nicely done. Fixed it up right good and proper. The first scrape with the grading bucket and I went 'Ughhh, that's not good farmland.' Glad you had the hammer, this was some hard digging. Perhaps you should store some hearing protection in the excavators, it would have come in handy for this job. Anyway, thanks for the upload, good to see you back at it again.
