Installing Culvert Pipe - John Deere 35G

[@adamtrost1509]

Obviously not trying to tell you how to do this but a little piece of advice you may try in the future. Straddle the pipe with the tracks of the excavator. Start digging on one side and as you move across the driveway you can just keep backing up. This lets you put the dirt directly next to the trench and when you want to backfill you can just push it in the the blade or skid steer. Plus it reduces your swing from 180 down to 30 degrees. Great video.

[@Sicktrickintuner]

Yep I was wondering that.

[@jaronkennedy7885]

Adam Trost also makes a cleaner, narrower and straighter trench

[@brianwebber7168]

Since both ends of the drive way were steep. I think he made the safe choice for his apparent skill level .

[@dwightkuster8249]

Brian Webber yes that is why we did it that way. Both sides very steep.

[@brianwebber7168]

Dwight Kuster , hide the keys unless you are there to supervise.

[@that73farmer]

We had one to use a while back on the farm. It's a cute little toy that gets a lot done in a hurry!

[@jacksak]

That 35G sure is a beautiful, useful little machine. I don't need one but want one.

[@damoncrockett9321]

Got a bunch of seat time on the 35g one of my favorite machines they are a tough little machine and very dependable.

[@mikedobson2988]

Nice job Ryan, i never heard you say you were an expert excavator, so most of us understand you were doing the best way for you. Just monitor for settlement especially after you get some moisture on your on your fill. You could even add moisture yourself and keep packing it with one of those deeres. Good job.

[@brianwebber7168]

Travis is a good operator. Good video. It would make a good commercial.

[@MatthewHoag77]

That's a great project to get done during the summer. It's nice that all of you played a role in replacing the culvert. Great footage as always, especially the slow-motion action shots. Have a great weekend, Ryan!

[@fredivory4304]

It's just a BABY! It's so cute.

[@allied1394]

I love these we have a case that’s how we clean the enclosures where cows are or other animals just put everything into a pile let skidsteer come and grab it takes to long with skidsteer trying to pop it up or if it’s slippery they make life so easy

[@milehightarantulas8563]

2:50 gotta be the best transition ever !!

[@bhurley5243]

Nice machine, beats digging it out by hand. Another great video.

[@wilbontrager8628]

Great video today. My uncle wants one like this on his farm!

[@danielsweeney6742]

Looks like Travis is having fun.. Awesome job!

[@georgewyrick1859]

We have a 2011 JD 35D series for our plumbing business and love it.

[@stevemondal.]

Thank you Ryan.

[@hannaatvs134]

We had one at my farm to dig out cow Manure and they work really well

[@jacobsimpson3901]

Great job Ryan on the video nice lil John Deere there

[@NicolaeCristian1003]

Great video ! You are a best farmer and youtober !

[@SledgeHammer43]

Go find some stumps Ryan. Perfect opportunity to get rid of some stumps.

[@paulc8581]

Nice work Travis

[@davidvincent3010]

Nice machine! Sure looks like alot of fun. Thanks for the video

Thank god for Sloan

[@HowFarmsWork]

Yeah they really pulled through for us!

[@ReverseProof]

I need one! Not sure what I'd use it for, but I need one!

[@stuartsplace100]

looks like fun to run

[@billykarwal980]

travis looked like he was having lots of fun playing with the toy

[@dsmreloader7552]

I rented an old 17C a couple weeks ago to redo a tile by my house, steep learning curve but a lot of fun. You guys did very well, not CT3 or LD smooth but darn close!

[@CaptainKleeman]

Good looking machine!

[@mrih1586]

Neat little machine. Wish I had one. Can't get over how dry the ground is up there. Your soil must drain good or you've much less rainfall than I imagined.

[@HowFarmsWork]

We have good drainage and it’s been about 2-3 weeks since we’ve had any meaningful rain. Storms on the horizon

[@jackcarmichael3020]

Hi your vids are the best

[@LSM_OPTiX]

Jack Carmichael also your videos are interesting

[@FoolOfATuque]

We have a 17G and it's not quite as fancy as this one, but it is very nice for trenching. It has the hydraulic thumb and we have three buckets for it. I've dug a lot of trenches for conduit with it and we have dug a lot of drainage ditches. We have a bunch of ditches to dig right now, but we are going to do things a bit differently this time. We are going to use a single bottom plow to start all the ditches and then come back with the ditching bucket to smooth the sides.

[@IHVA-ir9gp]

Ain't it great to have the right tools

[@cassiuspuckett8789]

Great video Ryan!!!!

[@LSM_OPTiX]

Its always fun to watch excavators doing their job love your videos ryan

[@albertnance625]

Great video!!! That the next purchase of the farm. Also our mini excavator is a E85 and our large one is a caterpillar

[@marksims7]

Great Job on this install!

[@alexanderpowers4515]

Great video as always can't wait to see the how to operate video

[@rongrose3746]

Like your videos, family. Stay safe ! from Indianapolis.

[@leol1682]

Like it man , Pipe - John Deere 35G.

[@backwoodscountryhallgren2033]

those john deere 35g I ran one years ago helping my buddy. take water tie tube 😎

[@ryanblosser7681]

Honestly Deere should just use your videos to promote equipment. It looks so professional! Great job Ryan!

[@arnoldromppai5395]

LMFAO

[@jbmbanter]

Glad you mentioned mounding it up because when I worked at the funeral hope the graves would often sink in and we'd have to call the guys back out to add more dirt! LOL! Needless to say the families weren't happy.

[@treytonzoss1853]

Great video! Good job on that culvert!

[@carfreak1807]

thank you for providing great quality content. i really enjoy watching all of your videos. keep up the great work. i cant wait to watch the future videos you are making. its nice to see how a farm works and what goes into making a farm work.

[@shar-richfarms2149]

We have a mini on our farm we bought it year ago and it can be a lot of fun 👍

[@corysgardentractors7084]

please film some more storms... i also enjoy watching u mow around the farm and working in the fields... thanks for uploading. lets everyone see how farms work... - get it? 😄

[@trossponsor9077]

This comment didn't impress me it really shows how unintelligent you are!

[@blakeb1992]

Your no Letsdig18, but you got the job done! Excavators have so many jobs other than digging!

[@lukestrawwalker]

Nice rig... we rented one of those mini-excavators when my folks were getting set up to move to Shiner... made short work of a long job... I LOVED the thing! Only thing missing was the hydraulic "thumb" but for what we were doing we didn't really need it, so it was okay. I hated to send the thing back, actually... ton of fun to run and the work went SO fast compared to doing it with a loader tractor or anything else... Later! OL J R :)

[@richardbloomfield1247]

Travis is like a kid in a candy store

[@TheBuvaCrew]

Those excavators are a great tool to have. Love this video!!

[@oscarddhh8183]

Mini excavators are fun to drive

[@robertduffy5302]

Hi Travis , use the rafters for a shop or main shop??????????

Can definitely tell y'all don't run that kind of equipment much but good video keep up the good work Ryan!

[@kennethmarlow2731]

Those are fun to operate

[@georgecrouch8729]

good job

[@alvinroundy6856]

ryan you had that bucket waving its hair like a blond model. great video

[@frederiklarsen1610]

Amazing video god job keep it up

[@arnoldromppai5395]

well, green horns,, it needed to be compacted in 6 to 8" lifts, and compacted really good on both sides of the pipe it self before totally coving the pipe, any loss dirt on the sides of the pipe the water will find its way along the out side of the pipe and wash, giving you a big sink hole, to were a car or truck wheel will drop right in.. no care was given to do it right operator is in need of a lot of practice. .

[@HowFarmsWork]

We can’t all be experts at everything! All I know what we have now is 100% better than what was there before.

[@arnoldromppai5395]

hfw you got that right, can only do the best one can.. and learn each time

[@kylerruiz414]

Awesome video

[@spencespencer3814]

Did you get a chance to run the mini ex. Looks like travis did the whole video

[@calebjewell3173]

Oh the fun I'd be having in that skid steer

[@leviebeling3551]

Hey Ryan how come you didn’t run the executor and awesome videos I love watching your videos

[@noelhohberger1188]

I'm not going to lie looks like a good time to me

[@johnloken1445]

Good video, interesting videography,

[@cameronchandler6819]

We have the same one just without a cab

[@kristenscott9438]

Cool vid, Ryan! How much rain did you guys get down there last night and earlier this morning!? Hope you guys are stay cool as best as you can! God Bless!

[@jonharrington9545]

How not to dig with a excavator you made ten times the mess but you got it done next time straddle the pip and side cast also don’t curl bucket so fast and less dirt falls on the ground. I will say you get a thumbs up you got the job done.... just helpful critism

[@WiedemannPhotography]

Nice slow motion parts.

[@deereboys5838]

I love watching your videos and have you ever thought about a bigger combine

[@batman1989keaton]

Tell Travis he handled that like a pro. Is a natural with an excavator!

[@wbball15]

Dad's looking like a good foreman.

[@nate486]

You should get bags of concrete and stack them around the ends. Once it rains they’ll get wet and harden

[@michaelpreussoutdoors8976]

Nice vid we got an exavator las fall there a handy machine

[@davidwpinkston4226]

i could have a lot of fun in my back yard with that

[@therealjoey724]

A mini excavator is like a tractor. Once you get a hang of it it is easy to drive

[@arnoldromppai5395]

umm you dont drive equipment, you operate equipment, you drive a car you drive a truck

[@Northern_Farmer]

That's one thing I wished I had on my excavator was the hydraulic thumb!!

[@wongcheongfoo9509]

不u8

[@FoolOfATuque]

We have one on our 17G and it is awesome!

[@paintballshooter27]

How much do those 2 counter weights weigh

[@lidsman2221]

I am no expert on drains so do not take this as criticism. I was wondering why you did not put a layer of pea gravel in the bottom and a little around the sides then backfill with dirt and then rocks around the ends? Thanks for the info!

[@jaronkennedy7885]

lidsman22 that would be more for a perforated pipe i think. If youre thinking of preventing frost heave it would have to a good 2 feet of gravel underneath but he shouldnt have much of a problem with what hes doing.

[@arnoldromppai5395]

with this kind of pipe you never want any kind of drainage rock or stone around it, you want good dirt to seal to the pipe so no water can ever get around the out side of the pipe, as if water did ever get to the out side of the pipe and the ground, the water would wwash out all the ground around the pipe making big sink holes and before long you would have one big ditch with a loss pipe laying there and all your dirt down stream

[@chriscrosby8012]

AWESOME!! How old was the culvert u pulled up definitely lived it's life great teamwork. Should be good to go now👍

[@cdarting91]

Did you remember to separate your road base from the dirt?

[@jameswrighton8279]

I don’t mean to be critical but that is a very agricultural way of putting in a pipe.

[@fredd8770]

Another A+ video from HFW.

[@warny835]

That would be a great machine for a landscaper.

[@billupstateny9151]

Why did you NOT add a culvert at Travis's drive while you had the machine ?? Shortsighted thinking ??

[@HowFarmsWork]

We didn’t have it that long. We barely had it long enough to do this job

damn good job boys.

how many acres u farm?

Did you get to operate it or did Travis only get too?

Oh the things I would do with that excavator

[@nickferderer2585]

[@Sicktrickintuner]

Like dig holes?

[@thomasmiddlebrooks5169]

You could have dug the pipe out a lot faster if you would have straddled the pipe. Great video btw!

[@jamesajoachim3]

beats shoveling by hand

[@brycemarsaglia3601]

Great video! I was anxious to see what your snapchat meant yesterday!

[@AM-kc3xg]

Curious why y'all didn't backfill with gravel before putting the dirt back?

[@jonasek7133]

Aaron McMahon you dont want draining around a drainingpipe!

[@Daniel-bn1hj]

Just wondering!? Why does no one in the US seem to know how to use a rototilt on the excavators? This would have made this a hole lot easyer...just askin?
