This brings back memories of redoing the water lines and fences when my mate took over his dads farm in the Naki. From painting houses for years to life on a dairy farm, I loved it

Hi I like your video

[@brendont1082]

Great to see the bulldozer in there getting your back country water supply sorted be interesting to see it all up and running

[@kiwifarmernz]

Keep watching. I plan on documenting the whole process

[@user-op4fz9uj9n]

The bulldozer is so much better than an excavator for track work.

[@kiwifarmernz]

It sure is.

Premium vid my friend, as a north island creature I have been to many broken dozers in country like that around central North island, Taihape etc and its always a great experience. New sub here and Happy New Year.

👌

Thanks Gary

[@globetrotter683]

Is there any council regs you have to jump thru to take the water and cut tracks like that? Merry Xmas to you and your family. Looking forward to more great vids in the new year.

[@kiwifarmernz]

From what I believe as long as the cut is not bigger than 1.5m it's OK. Also the water take is fine for stock water. Thanks mate. Merry Christmas to you also.

[@kiwifarmernz]

Its a bunyip pump, same kind of principle as a ram pump just lower head requirement.
