Installing culvert pipes

Using a cheap China excavator to install an 18" culvert pipe, then using a Kubota KX121-3 with a tilt bucket and a TL10 track loader to dig more drainage swales and install another pipe.

[@jasonmacvicar3521]

The last video on this machine was super good also!

[@mmmark61]

And from his last demonstration, I was convinced to buy the same machine--the H12. I originally was considering an excavator which had to be moved by a trailer hitch. The H12 cost a little more but is more versatile. Already received it and 3 of the 4 attachments for it. Several little adjustments and tightening of bolts were necessary But am excited to use it!

Post 10 even as adult is educational watching and listening to him to talk.......Where he lives and where I live day to day are world apart......I think children would get A LOT out of watching his video's, they should be shown in schools, not all the culvert ones, but when his is showing you stuff you would never have seen otherwise, the way he talks about different things is very interesting, it's almost like he has an autism of knowledge.

Noticed once again that the new garage build is coming along really nice and love the grey rock face on the front of it, matches the castle. Can't wait til it is all done. Great work on the driveway Andrew, think the new larger pipe was the best move and really drains the water better as well, to keep the driveway dryer.

culvert/drainage videos were what got me into camarat's channel back in 2018. my favorite video was when he fixed the driveway with the busted old tin culvert pipe. must've watched it 20 times!

[@MrWoodshoes]

Nice job on the swales Andrew. I once cut one in with JD 544 loader in a mowed area next to a bike path and it was 30' wide and maybe 6 inches deep. To the naked eye it was indiscernible and very gratifying to resolve the issue with standing water.

[@amcluesent]

Did I imagine it, but I recall Andrew welded up a V-shaped bucket just for swales.

I did make a bucket like that, it works, but the tilting bucket is more useful because it can dig anything

In case you didn't see it on your video, a sizable rock washed into the pipe with that last slug of leaves. Likely it will stop half way through and plug up next wash. In wetlands oil field, operators use a long sapling tied to their backhoe to stick up inside culverts and swab em out.

[@robandnell4305]

Nice job of putting in the culvert. The only thing I see I would do different is, I have found those big rocks against a plastic culvert cave wear holes in them. We always put gravel or dirt around the pipe. As you have found small pipes plug. We don't have the leaf problem here in idaho you have. Also the dirt and gravel help seal around the head end so it doesn't leak around the rocks. Every country is different so it may not be the case in New York. Keep up the good work.

Hey Andrew I enjoy your videos I can watch your videos every day you have a wonderful place I love the country life😊😊😊

[@aserta]

If an area gives you trouble vis-a-vis leaves, put a concrete (as smooth as possible) entry point to the culvert. The biggest issue with leaves near culvert mouths is the fact that they tend to catch the entrance (edit: by entrance, i mean the mud - if it's slick, they can't catch and the water's enough to make them slide) (sticks too) and they end up building up. Pouring a funnel helps mitigate that. Of course, excessive stickage will clog even that, but for general purpose leaf issues, perfect. I did this at my property (about the same conditions, but with a small river mouth a km above that road point) and i haven't had to go clean that culvert in years with the exception of really heavy storms (mudvalanche). Really does work. I used plastic to make a smooth face to it. Once it set, i pealed it off.

[@user-ek4zy9ly1y]

A couple of culverts were just replaced near my house on the main road. The one they replaced was 1/3 filled with rocks and smaller gravel so the pipe couldn't handle the water from the stream flowing into it. At the end of your video a big rock slipped into the pipe and I was hoping you'd look inside to see if it made it through. You could periodically use a long pole with a half moon scraper to drag any accumulated gravel out of the pipe. When filling those pipes in you could keep less gravel from entering the pipe as well. :-)
