Coming from all garage door technicians… Thank you for using the rope and not throwing the door up!

[@PhilipJongejan]

The best tool in my experience to backfill trenches with a skid steer is a snowplow attachment with a spring assisted breakover in case you push too much dirt. It's much better than a fixed blade because it's a lot more forgiving in case you take too big of a bite in a pass. All it takes is 2 - 3 passes to get a 36"-48" trench filled, and you can keep your tracks out of the dirt pile. Run a compactor down the trench between lifts, and you can finish with almost no manual labour. Works great on all surfaces - we do it on golf courses when retrofitting irrigation lines. You can dial in the skid plate height to fine tune how much dirt has to be moved by hand.

[@Durrdalus]

I thought the other implement for refill operations was named Greg.

[@brocklagunas3055]

😂

[@arsadorap3619]

!!! Missed opportunity, mate. You should have run it withe chain over the trench and the auger turning the opposite direction compared to the digging. It then would have helped shift the pile into the trench. I hoped you've figured it out.

[@schuman0]

"you can tell it's a high flow because of the way that it is" 😂😂😂 love that reference

[@andrewr2650]

the trencher I have rented several times in the past has an angled plow blade that sits along side the trenching arm opposite the auger. . That blade is up out of the way when digging, but can be rotated down to push the spoil back in the trench. I was kind of skeptical at first, but it works great. seems like Kabota could do something similar unless its patented.

[@bradh5629]

that style window could save your life. I watched a guy sink a skid steer in a swamp, could not put the boom down far enough to open the door. He had no way of getting out and the machine was sinking. I wanted to break the glass but his buddy convinced us to wait for help which took forever and the guy inside was not happy.

[@beetleclemens3727]

Wow wow what a machine and look with any good machine comes experience you learn as you go it look like to us as though the project went great cannot wait to see the next adventure with Kyle and Greg

[@psidvicious]

The operational learning curve on these machines is minimal. They are extremely intuitive and can be learned in literally minutes. Of course that’s not to take away from anyone who has achieved expert operating ability. Faster, better and the amount of fine tuning necessary by hand for the finish project are what separates a novice from an expert.

[@benfowler2127]

I know it’s added cost, but I prefer using conduit for mains to the pole. Especially when there’s a driveway and gravel involved.

[@BLKMGK4]

I was wondering if they were going to put a foil strip in for detection and future digging, it's code in many places. :(

[@bdugle1]

Guess I’d suggest bringing the bucket along next time you trench. Nice equipment!

[@codyjlee]

That guage is depthinitely handy!

[@steveholder7289]

Wonder if you had straddled the trench and ran the trencher in reverse if it would have pulled the spoils back into the trench. Probably still would have had to follow up with a blade, though.

[@geostanley409]

Exactly what I was thinking. It seems like in reverse it would pull the material back to the trench.

[@TFE_LLC]

I think u only have to run in reverse if ur strattling it. It discharges to the right side when running normal so..... yeah

[@ykmjc]

yep, my thoughts exactly!

[@mmccon2007]

Good video. You guys do a great job and you really explain things well. Thanks for sharing!

[@phillipjondreau4722]

The the roll up cab door is super nice to be able to hop out with the bucket up, even just to put dunnage under a load so you don’t have to set it all the way down first.

Should of had Greg at the end of your sales pitch say “come on down to Kubota” 😅

Like that the scraper on the end of the trencher for a nice clean trench.

[@psidvicious]

Neatness and uniformity really do count. Even when digging.

[@georgecoffman377]

I’ve run one of those and cut asphalt street to run conduit from side of street to the other side. It cut the asphalt smooth but a little bumpy though.

[@garyballands9963]

[@neilayrons495]

I'm surprised you don't have a dozer or bucket attachment for the Kubota. That's what you needed to backfill that perfect trench you dug.

[@psidvicious]

The standard bucket is the default attachment they all come with. They didn’t show it but they all have a bucket.

[@thepaintprofessor]

That trench was a thing of beauty

[@OriginalIncog]

To clear a good amount of spoil when joining the trench, do a cut perpendicular to the trench dragging most leftovers out. Less shovel work required.

[@btb6011]

Heck ya I want to see more of the Kubota............IN PERSON. Just bring that bad boy on down here and bring all the attachments. I'm gonna need them.

[@johnvalencia7488]

Wondering what's the integrity life span of the power cable you laid in the trench?

[@walnut_trail_farm]

Haha kubota sounds a lot like an aspen! Nice

[@adamwanderscheid8559]

Great machine.

[@lorenrickey5481]

We have to use conduit now for the while length plus “buried electrical “ flagging tape.

[@andrewr2650]

In my area (close to Kyle) the tape is required for gas lines but still optional for electrical. Conduit is only required to cover down to the burry depth.

[@jjtrades7186]

I think I would use conduit even if it wasn't required just as a preventative measure incase I needed to upgrade service later

[@andrewr2650]

​@@jjtrades7186 I'm all for future proofing but its worth looking at the costs. my electric company requires 3" conduit minimum for a service line, currently selling for about $5/foot. (material only) under 100' i'd probably install the conduit , my run was 450' so the only place its in conduit is where it passes under the paved driveway.

[@psidvicious]

Flagging tape is just good work practice and it’s essentially free insurance.

[@jasonmart1081]

Great machine 👍👌

[@professionalinspectionserv9468]

I know you were hoping for an all in one attachment but I think the manufacturer just makes more on another attachment. Would be helpful to a small buisness to have attachments that do more then one thing.

[@psidvicious]

Draw something up. If you can invent a multi-tasking attachment for equipment like this, they will beat a path to your door, guaranteed.

Please tell me you spun it in reverse to reload the trench. The video edit only shows you spinning it the wrong way for the Archimedes screw to function for refilling.

[@johnscott2076]

[@bobwolf9581]

Thought the video showing how it works was great

[@OriginalJetForMe]

Can you run it in reverse and keep the trencher over the trench? The auger has quite the cone on the blades but maybe it would still pull it in?

[@rickypresley5482]

Spin the digging chain in reverse

[@crabapple3737]

Straddle the trench and run the auger in reverse?

[@psidvicious]

To NOT utilize equipment like mini-track loaders, skid-steers, mini-excavators, with all of the available attachments is just poor time and money management. It’s actually not even that hard to calculate. They said in the video that the trench took ~10 minutes or so to dig. Just visualize how much time/money you would have to spend to dig that trench, by hand, with shovels and laborers. It’s a no brainer. Another adjacent advantage is - neatness actually does count. A clean and uniformly dug trench shows the customer they’ve hired a professional and they can be confident that they made a good investment choice. You’ll be pleasantly surprised when you call a few equipment rental companies to get some pricing. Again, just do a mental comparison of the work performed, with the machine versus performed with laborers and the machine will win every time. Don’t worry about your ability to operate the equipment too much either. They are generally very intuitive and the learning curve is minimal. Factor into your calculation a certain amount of time to learn the machines function and the machine will still come out on top as the smart financial choice, guaranteed.

[@royreynolds108]

Change the trencher out for the smooth-blade bucket to refill.

[@ransomtester5347]

Good afternoon 👍💪💪👌🤟😎

[@terencemerritt]

How much did you pay for this machine Kyle?

[@SilmSlice]

Did you try driving backwards with the auger for backfilling? It may be designed that way as it drags the material away while you are digging the trench backwards.

[@richardkelleher1711]

you could try straddling the trench and running it in reverse.

True.... but a real operator will keep the shovel time to a minimum

[@psidvicious]

@@digger7871 Exactly. The difference between a novice and expert operator, is how much hand work necessary for the finished product. An expert will require virtually no remedial shovel work.

[@jamesandayladodge4815]

Would be interesting to see it grind down a tree stump. Is it any quicker than a back hoe digging the stump out?

[@steveholder7289]

Explosives.

[@AlAmantea]

Using a trencher on a stump is a very bad idea. The teeth on the auger are not sharp, nor are they meant for constant contact with wood. Additionally, it would rattle the driver and the machine to death, and take forever. Use a stump grinder.

[@BjornMoren]

@@AlAmantea At the end of the video he says he has a stump grinder attachment for the 97-2.

Its simple to fillback. Drop the trencher and attach the blade. Angle the blade and drive along. Trench is filled in minutes. Then drive tracks on top to pack. Did five 100+ yard trenches in one day when the electric company was migrating overhead service to underground in our area and was going to terminate at the end of the driveway.
