Great demonstration of the tilt rotator 👍 Can’t believe that they barely exist in the states. Saves so much time.

[@carv3l97]

@@arjanvogel6444 No, engcon built it, he adapted it to his machine and quick exchange standard

[@JackMacLupus]

Yeah the tilt rotor slowly makes its way into other countries. Its mostly common in china and japan, but i already saw them in Europe and the US as well but not as much. And yeah, they REALLY save a lot of time AND add a lot more options to the excavator. I mean, being able to rotate your bucket/attachment 360 degrees, tilt it sideways for 45 degrees maybe more, and the grapple that some tilt rotors come with come SO handy its incredible. A well skilled operator can eat his lunch with one of those for sure.

[@petter5721]

@@JackMacLupus I believe the rototilt is a Swedish invention. Very common here since many years.

[@wxfield]

We solved this problem on our farm by burying old tires about 30-50cm below the grade of the road. The tires hold the culvert in place, they also keep the road very stiff. We fill-in the tires with gravel and then backfill over the tires and culvert with about 30-50cm of dry "road mix" which is stone dust, crushed 1/2" stone, and some soil/clay mixed in. We have areas that are 60 years old now and the culvert never washes out. We also place a heavy cable through the culvert and wire mesh on the ends in case beavers get any ideas.

[@vgorski7545]

Very interesting fix.

[@dereksmith1803]

NEVER in a million years, will I ever understand why tractor makers make, or why anyone would buy, a 2 wheel drive tractor. Tractors are designed to operate in soft, off-road conditions. It makes zero sense to have anything other than 4x4 on a tractor. Having said that, you are A LOT more patient than I am. I would have had to stop recording because I would have been so mad, so kudos to you for keeping your calm.

Great job - Post 10 would be proud of your culvert design and installation. I like the way you don’t edit out the issues you faced with getting the tractor and trailer stuck in the soft ground.

[@spblackey]

Haha yes, I immediately thought of Post 10 getting worked up about the culvert.

[@MFG333]

Saw a guy with a blocked culvert snake a cable through and then attach an old car tire. When he pulled the tire through it cleaned the culvert 100%. Thanks for the video. I enjoyed it. Good job.

[@dancarter482]

_BET it was a WHEEL!_

[@MFG333]

@@dancarter482 no, it was a flexible rubber tire without any metal rim. But, a metal wheel might work too if it didn't damage the culvert (some are plastic these days).

[@ArthurDentZaphodBeeb]

Agreed, Andrew's money has made his content far less relatable and interesting. Guy buys equipment like some buy socks. This guy is even better - he knows what he's doing. Andrew just bulled ahead, damn the torpedoes.

[@ywc378]

Very pleasant and satisfying, not losing your cool, being patient and finding ways to get out of a predicament. You have great work ethics, fixing things as they come. Some have compared you with Camarata, as I am, and that’s a huge compliment in my books. Looking forward to the next rock crushing. 😊

[@albertluker3032]

I appreciate what this gentleman can do. I see a real effort to show his experiences and not just the perfect presentation, but rather to show multiple angles of his mistakes sometimes. He’s talented as a fabricator for sure. He deserves to have more subscribers and likes.

You need to find some big rocks. Blast it and and lay the road foundation with crude rock and then spread out gravel on the road. This is just mud heaven.

Excellent control of the excavator. It’s as if the operator is using his hands, they are so careful.

[@nathanenfinger9559]

The replacement is much better suited than what you had previously, be able to handle the water volume and won't be as prone to clogging up as much as the other culvert

[@mattiloponen9791]

There is still very wet, soft soil, hope sun and summer will make dry. You do a good job, nice videos 👍👍☀️

i can relate to one of those jobs where everything just keeps expanding with roadblocks along the way. Makes life interesting but can be frustrating. Keeps you grateful for the days it all works out and makes those days just so much more.

In the States, we call what you created, a Soup Sandwich. Good to see that you have plenty of "Crackers" aka sand/gravel to make ends meet.

[@juncusbufonius]

Man did you have a sequence of troubles. You did good. What a nice result.

[@peterkelly9614]

With your blasting, you can substantially reduce the danger of flying rock by covering the rock with a big pile of soft soil (after you have drilled the holes and inserted explosive and wired it up). You have an excavator - hence easy to do. This is what they do when blasting rock in built up areas. It stops the rock fragments in its tracks - absorbs the shock.

[@NickyNiclas]

I think it's cool to see the flying rocks. If safety was a bigger concern he'd probably use proper blasting blankets.

[@Trydntru]

[@shartne]

The pipe is bigger and not full of dirt rocks and brush so it should be a lot better. The road looks better built up with nice large ditches too. It will be really super when you get gravel packed down on it. It will probably work for many years until your grandson comes along 30 years from now to fix it again.

Good grief Mattias, that was a workout You could use the wheeled excavator to tow the trailer. In regards to use the hydraulics , you could build a adaptor to conect to the excavator aux line and dump. Looks to me a 8.5 t trailer, if you disconnect the ram, it would be a good experiment to see if the excavator arm could lift the dump bed, although I believe that only can lift aprox 4 t

As there are so many rocks you should put some rocks there to fix that section.

[@fredbuchanan2560]

Great videos!! Idea: You need to get your own rock crusher so you can use all the stones on the sides of the roads to make gravel. 2.0 cm minus (we call it 3/4 inch minus here in the U.S.) spread across the roads would add a lot of stability. Over time, the continuous addition of gravel, as the previous gravel sinks into the road from use will lead to a very stable driving surface.

[@kamoonrathewolfgod9189]

As to what I have seen with Post 10 and his videos of cloged culvets, the smaller the pipe is the better the chance of it cloging up and the road washing away. Always best to have at least 2 smaller 1 and a half to 2 foot culvert pipes where large amounts of water goes through or 1 large 3 to 4 foot culvert pipe that way there is no chance of the road ever washing away. Unless of a major flood where the 2 smaller culvers are still not enough. Still though, the work you did with that culvert is quite amazing. Should last at least 5 to 10 years before it needs repaires. ( Like uncloging. )
