Like this video. Very instructive, good time lapse, not too much face time. Very nice !

[@dondosae1]

this was great. we are having this system installed as well so you can imagine the questions i had. thanks for sharing.

[@dustinhensley7995]

Thanks Mike! This is a nice refresher!!

[@stevengullison5123]

Hello Mike, you have a great crew, you do excellent work. I really appreciate you taking the time to video this stuff for us.

[@DirtPerfect]

Thanks appreciate that

[@burningdinosaurs]

Interesting system. Can't believe it doesn't freeze up. But, everywhere's different. Thanks for the video!

[@Liledgy100]

I’ve seen a few similar to this in northern Illinois, more like a sand mound. Had a pump that pumped the liquid thru it and then thru another chamber and it came out clean water that drained to the ditch. A lot of those failed, think they were called cavatate systems. Our land is all pit run (potato size rocks), perks real good. We have a tank and field, never had a problem, House is 42 years old. I have a pulverizer for my tractor, it’s a poor mans Harley rake. Great video.

[@andrewshullick4319]

Awesome video Mr dirt perfect. Hi Captain. And no mirrors were harmed in this video thanks for sharing it

[@DirtPerfect]

Thanks Andrew

[@Sea-Doopilot]

Getting ready to do this at my new property. Thanks for the video. Good work!

[@benjamincurran1365]

That Harley rake for the skidsteer will be a game changer for you. Great purchase. Mine ends up on almost every job now for quick and easy clean up/dress up.

[@DirtPerfect]

Yes love it so far

[@bluemtnsman]

Quite an intriguing system. On a project I was superintendent on, we installed a system that was 54 x 122 three leg side by side system,,, that was 4 years ago and no complaints since the client occupied the building. As someone else said,,, the changes in septic systems over the years is amazing. Looks like you and the Captain have things under control,,, think I'll go grab a nap.

[@DirtPerfect]

Lol and very interesting

[@lennelonge2626]

Great job showing how septic systems have changed over the years. Ours was house to tank to distribution box which had 3 lateral lines coming out of it. And of course rock and paper. Nice job guys!

[@lakesideranch]

Great info video Mike! Nice to see you and Captain Kleeman on a job together again. Work safe, stay warm. Doug@ the "ranch"

[@DirtPerfect]

Thanks Doug

[@richardguntrum7251]

My builder just started on my house 2 weeks ago and this is the system he uses I've never had to have a septic system before so hopefully this presby system works good

[@DirtPerfect]

We have had great luck with them

[@clydeacor1911]

Nice install Mike! Crazy how different systems are done across the country. Never seen one done like that basically above ground, ours go into the ground quite a ways and we just use regular perforated pipe for our leach field. By the way I really liked you and Logger Wade's collaboration yesterday on his live feed! You two are great when you get together!

[@DirtPerfect]

Yes I also love see how a things are done in different places and thanks me and wade had fun as well

[@vansage2691]

I rented one of those Power rakes for a lawn renovation. learned after using it, that the casters are to be to control the depth of cut. Looks like you did the same as me. Set it deep then try to feather it with it with the hydraulics. They are nice and it looks like you can angle your rake too. hope your skidder has a creep function for when you are working larger areas. Power rakes dont like big rocks which you found out lol.

[@richardcox1428]

Love the new attachment

[@DirtPerfect]

[@joemascioni3101]

Great job on the install. Made it look easy. I like that Harley Rake. I have an attachment for my skid steer called a preparator. Which basically does the same thing but it also removes rocks and hard clumps from the soil that you are using it on. But since it is getting old wore out like me, I might be in the market for something like that in the future.

[@DirtPerfect]

Love it so far

[@thomasyerbey337]

Great video DP I learned something new today I have to install one of these soon and I have a heads up now I appreciate you sharing this information 🇺🇲

[@mkerr5562]

Nicely done. We always use a shooter truck for the sand but I like how you did it with the excavator. Also I've never seen a drain backfilled with sand. We have to use crushed stone to backfill our drains. Great work guys.

[@DirtPerfect]

Thanks

[@MrEdelong]

Great video! I'm sure you've figured it out by now. But for your Harley rake, lift the boom and tilt it forward to get those wheels on the ground. They span the gap and stabilize and help with carrying your grade (just like a grader and your grader attachment). Then you can fine tune your up and down movements on the fly and it blends everything together nicely. Hope that helps!

[@DirtPerfect]

Yes getting better with it

[@jameshicks4831]

That one is new to me, I haven't seen a system like that before. cool

[@DirtPerfect]

They work well in certain areas

U must use this type if the ground doesn't perk. And that way u can do this basically on the home of the ground as long as the topsoil is gone. Great video and thanks again Mike and Captain.

[@DirtPerfect]

Yes correct

[@jjknowles7348]

Never seen a system like that. Pretty cool.

[@DirtPerfect]

They do work well around here

[@kgraydakota]

@@DirtPerfect Why do you build them like that? High water table? Poor draining soil? Or are all septic systems built like that in your state?

[@DirtPerfect]

Soil and has to do with the limiting layer

You had the right guy running the grade stick and figuring the fall... because if there’s anyone who understands that poo flows downhill... it’s the Captain! Nice job.

[@DirtPerfect]

Lol thanks William

[@richardmcdaniel6262]

I can already see you adapting the Harley Rake to use on the new Volvo excavator.

[@DirtPerfect]

😁

[@redmanreality6243]

I know this comment is a little late but it must be nice being able to Harley rake the mound. In our area we're not allowed on them with any piece of equipment. That and the sand has to taper off on the downhill side tol with no greater then a 12% slope if I recall correctly. Anyhow awesome job, looks great. And yes the front mount takes have a big of a learning curve lol.

[@DirtPerfect]

Thanks

[@jbritt2549]

Neat system! In N. C. We have to do it with the natural dirt. We do some raised bed system nd chamber system. I've not seen this used here. But I like it. Thanks for sharing with us

[@DirtPerfect]

Interesting and thanks for watching buddy

[@jbritt2549]

@@DirtPerfect I'm sure they may use it sometime mid state but I've not seen it. Here it's sandy on the beach or swampy for the most part and we use a raised bed system most of the time

Thats super interesting for what the state excepts for bottom digout. The last one I did had a 7ft cut hauled in 500 yards septic gravel before building field

[@garoldconine6291]

Really interesting to watch. I install septic systems in norther Indiana and have never seen one of these. I’ve only heard of a few of them being installed in our county. We also are not allowed to use green pipe.

Interesting infiltrator system nice and easy to install the ones used here isn't so easy, most raised beds are pressurized 3/4 inch pipes with holes drilled into it. Pretty rare to see concrete poo tanks used, replaced with plastic the minimum size were allowed is 1200 gallons.

[@stevengunter2843]

Mike is this a add on system for this house good job!

[@Crewsy]

Captain Kleeman. I’m shocked that you would think that way about me. I mean I couldn’t ever come up with something like that that fast. 🤣😂 Besides. I don’t think Mike would waste the time to dig a hole that big for you. I am honoured to get a shout out either way. 👍🏻

[@ramtuff2007]

[@DirtPerfect]

Thanks

[@tbix1963]

Interesting system, in reading the comments you mentioned limiting layer is the restriction after a quick google with no relevant knowledge. Is the benefit of this system that it can be placed on soil with low permeability so it can only encroach into the native soil so far, but can have soil placed and contoured as wanted above it. Either way interesting video, always good to see you and the captain working together. Looking forward to any other videos you have in the vault waiting to come out along with any newer videos you may post. I’m sure people are excited to see your latest equipment additions. Stay safe.

[@DirtPerfect]

Your correct tom and thanks

[@larryvisser1086]

I watched this video when it first came out and now need a Presby system for a house I’m building this summer so I knew where to go to see it again. Couple of comments….. funny to see how far you have come! Seeing the Harley rake and the Kobota that are both now gone. And maybe a few less gray hairs in the beard. Keep up the good work. You always keep it interesting.

[@DirtPerfect]

The hope it helps

[@smokintruker27]

I've done hundreds of septic systems. Up North we have to dig a test hole ranging from 14' to 18' to hit water table. Never seen this style before. We use H10 tanks for out home use and H20 for heavy duty so it can be driven over it in the front of a home. Atleast 3' under grade. Only time we used a style of mounding dirt was near the water so tanks wouldn't be set in water table

[@DirtPerfect]

Kinda the same here

[@jerrystott7780]

Good video, that wouldn't work here due to the deep frost, but I could see it's value in warmer areas. Great practical joke, Captain Cleevus, I would have faked an equipment malfunction and laughed the whole time you were hand raking. 😂 have a great day.
