DRAINING BEAVER DAM WITH MINI EXCAVATOR!

[@jeffreywhite4962]

I missed your pleasant personality this morning, " I'll stay tuned ".

[@lbl9066]

Beautiful water flowing… strong current… love the sound of water….

[@Joker_68]

Even though your friends excavator was a little small, he still managed to do a pretty good job opening it up and releasing the water.

[@Me-qp8vz]

The smaller bucket was better for this type of job. It didn't dig oversized craters or pull down as much embankment as a larger bucket would have. It might have taken a little longer but this way there was less damage to the channel.

[@gayle4804]

Thank you for sharing!

[@ricksizemore8102]

Breaking out the big guns again! Tricky bit of work but you got it done!

[@stanstenson8168]

Well, that excavated quickly.

[@kellym.]

Bet you wish you had that excavator all the time. great work

[@Kenislovas]

I would like to!

[@kurushii1137]

I've seen excavators remove as much material from the dry side of the dam first, starting at the opposite side and working towards the machine. Then, they break the dam last - it seems to work quite well. Just an observation.

[@Gilly14]

Would've could've should've it was still drained correct? Just my opinion though

[@Wombat0214]

The power of water when it is released from its confines is satisfying, relaxing and mesmerising! I’m so glad I found your videos!

[@martinmarsola6477]

A fantastic mechanical clearing. 😊

[@1chish]

Small excavator is all you need but you really need a thumb jaw fitted as that helps grabbing timbers. That made a good job of clearing the damn. And warmer in Winter!

Ooo, I want one of those. Don't have a need, but I want it nevertheless. Lol!

[@boblohof4579]

I think it is a good idea for you to "team" up with an excavator operator. Between you two you can do more discouragment to active beavers. Good luck to you!

[@lynnduncan6139]

Well done! But still miss you and the potato fork!

[@thomascagle8904]

That was a wide and thick dam. Great video and it is nice to have friends with an excavator. LOL

[@tomswindler64]

Looks like the beaver dam is bigger than the little excavator.it does the job,that’s what counts.looks like it’s getting colder so maybe beavers 🦫 will start slacking off on building dams.good video.just carry on.😎😎😎👍👍👍

[@rogerfleury3591]

26th! A machine makes short work of this beaver dam! Even though it was only a small section of the dam. Roger in Pierre South Dakota USA 😊

Great excavator operating. Small but mighty.

good one, keep safe

[@janetmacklin2271]

Nice 👍

Oddly satisfying

[@DavidFraser007]

Nice fast flow of water and a good drop in the level.

[@cturner7050]

I like watching this, thank you 👍❤

[@josettesciberras1613]

That mini excavator scoop i compare it to an icecream scoop😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@Kenislovas]

Ye, it was the smallest one :) I would like to get at least 3.5 tones :)

[@camel1945]

Amazing perfect work in 10 minutes thanks!!

[@Me-qp8vz]

When I saw the tittle. I thought it was going to be the remote-control excavator again.

[@l.e.wyrick9915]

Nice 😊

[@terryhatcher9644]

Maybe a small skid loader type with an excavating arm attachment. Cheaper, lighter and maybe more accessible. Maybe start a fee service to cover costs from your hobby. But be your own boss ( or let your wife tell you ) Don't forget though Baby needs new shoes. (Diapers, clothes, toys, extra love, food and etc). 😄 Like all the time it seems. Keep up the good Papa work, do whatever your wife wants, and love the child. A true happy family 👪

Sometimes it’s about getting close enough with a machine.🤷‍♂️

[@timbailey8254]

Gooddeal

[@Tuilaione]

Aint no beaver gonna fix that one again...

[@fyremoon]

What would be interesting is if there was a tool made that could be driven up to the dam like a snow plough that grinds the logs to pulp and takes the entire dam out in one pass. With the entire dam removed in one pass, the beavers would have to take much longer to replace the dam than cutting a new channel where they can use the existing material to block the dam quickly.

[@Kenislovas]

It would be, yes.

[@lamwen03]

Ah, he knows to dig a deep channel, too.

[@lisavilanova1184]

I'm so grateful this got removed and then excavator or a mini estimator. Every time you going to rip this one out I've been very very worried about you. It's a very dangerous sketchy situation. Water here is very Swift and the dam is so high I've seen you slip plenty of times and been worried that you would fall and there would be nobody there to help you. So thank goodness may God answers prayers.

[@jeffreyshier9021]

That is just a lot of water!

brother remove all the small tree near river clean up area after shap to big side walk and after river goin nice

Here is an example of what I mean by a longer reach. Two Beaver Dams Removal With Excavator No.76 kzbin.info/www/bejne/hJ-vaJ1_mc6HjLs

[@rgoers]

This video had me confused. I don't understand why he stayed so far away from the dam. He could barely reach it and so pretty much ended up digging a new channel around the dam. If he had moved in closer he could have taken out the middle of the dam. But hey, it isn't my ditch or equipment so what do I know.

[@simonsimon557]

Maybe the bank was too soft and the machine may have gone into the water?

[@chunt241]

He could of made the opening wider he had the kabote an he was right there a wider entrance would make it a little harder for the beavers

[@Kenislovas]

Boom was not long enough :(

[@paruggeri]

What size Kubota is that !

[@Kenislovas]

It’s 1.8 tons I guess.

[@paruggeri]

@@Kenislovas what is the model number

[@andban92]

Can you operate mini excavator?

[@Kenislovas]

I can operate even big one:) I need to acquire it somehow:)

[@andban92]

@@Kenislovas infact thers is no difference to operate mini or full size excavator. I did both. Only thing that you need to be alot more cautios while operating big one cos you can wreck much more stuff. :D

[@jamesnelson5110]

Why remove the dam. The surrounding land does not look to be developed. The beavers will rebuild it. In a lot of areas the dams are modified with several small sluices which control the level of the water behind the dam without triggering the beavers natural rebuilding efforts

[@Kenislovas]

This water erodes the edge. You can see there are public gravel road next to this canal.

[@k.c.beagle7102]

it will be closed back up in no time ,you need to do way, way more

[@Kenislovas]

Well it's ok :)

[@USSPROMO]

Bad job...incomplete...beavers can pluck that hole overnight...he only opened a small area instead of the whole thing.....needs practice...he should talk to the excavator guy in msTECH86.

[@josephlipetzky2825]

Still looks like it needs to be wider

[@becky3420]

Why didn’t he remove all of the dam?

[@Kenislovas]

This excavator wasn't able, a bit too small.. :(
