[@Officaljc96]

[@genesattlefield9490]

What locator are u using

[@danvroom999]

Great so see you folks posting great HDD videos like this!

[@christianvargas9798]

Great video Can you make a video on how to use the locator like basic controls

[@babbobasti1944]

Nice to see how u guys do it in the USA We are boring in germany with a D10 But a little bit quicker.. in a week we got 2km fiber optic cable in the ground with 2 machines

[@KohlenKumpel]

Ihr habt ja auch einen automatischen gestängewechsel, und je nach region wo ihr bohrt geht das auch mit einer Autoantenne in Deutschland

[@babbobasti1944]

@@KohlenKumpel nein auf der D10 haben wir keinen Stangenlader. Die Stangen wiegen nur 11kg da lohnt sich das nicht. Was meinst du mit der auto Antenne?

[@robertwooten9638]

The paint is there to tell them were they drilled and if they need to make any steering corrections.

I started locating with a mark 3 fr!!!

[@genesattlefield9490]

About to be running the same set up

[@hpundergroundinc5644]

Great!

[@babbobasti1944]

Why u guys not using headphones with mics? I think its makes the communication much easier

[@deepsouthboringtv2239]

On a short bore like this one hand signals work fine, headphones allow a lot of background noise

[@isaacgreaves4089]

Drill too is so much faster

[@boomxstick]

At least you aren't in rock

[@joeymayorga2544]

I loved this video watched twice haha it’s like soothing, i only go off ball occasionally check beacon line but why two dots u tracking back ball as well just wondering?

[@deepsouthboringtv2239]

If you keep track of both dots you can step back and look at your line to see which direction you need or to adjust your angle.

[@jggarcia1955]

You always check RLP

[@musicchretiennek5546]

Can you make a video about basic to locate with a F2 or drilling?

[@Samboi_420]

What are you marking out everytime you paint like the front ball crosshairs and back ball?

[@naturekid95240129]

Yes those are the front and real locate point .

[@totus6813]

I currently work for boring company as a ground laborer,could you explain how someone operates and reads the locator and what the paint marks are.

[@deepsouthboringtv2239]

Basically the drill head is what you pay attention to, the direction pitch and depth are what you track. The paint is just a visual display of what your doing underground to help you see your bore path. The operating and locating will come with time and experience that’s the only way to get good. I hate that I lost the several other videos I had, they make this bore look like child’s play

@@deepsouthboringtv2239 would be awesome if you did a traing vid. I tried working the f1 today but with only 1 other guy and my 3rd day on the crew. Backbone past two days. Hopefully tmw guy a better opportunity to train me

[@joseyjenkins6049]

@@deepsouthboringtv2239 what are you checking when you make your dot, step back, and change the screen? Depth?

[@djentlegiant739]

Why would the property owner bore instead of trench? Cool video, btw. 👍

[@babbobasti1944]

Less dirt.. No damage on tree roots.. Its quicker

[@deepsouthboringtv2239]

And he was friends with the boss

[@joecruz2733]

Why have a trench in your yard when you can bore it without a trench

[@trevorimhof6474]

Lmao dude uses a lot of paint 😂 seems to know what he’s doing though

[@caputoboyful]

That was hard to watch

[@yliaknotsnhoj2247]

Excuse me gentlemen where is your proper PPE 🤣

[@robertwooten9638]

The operator has a locator box on the drill rig so he can see the same thing that the walk over locator sees.

[@outofAlog]

Not always. Sometimes you gotta just watch hand signals
