The Easiest Way to Direct Bury a Cable or Wire

[@jamesharless5357]

Nice work,great video!👍🏻

[@robertwikeljr-1522]

That first splice needs to be in a box, above ground ( use as outlet / code would dictate a cutoff switch to kill power going out has to be installed anyway) .

[@shisholy7828]

Nice job. You might have wanted a way to keep the spliced wires sealed and not buried in water. That could come back to bite.

[@LivingOurAmericanDream]

Agree. I have a good measurement in where the splice is and it’s not a super-important circuit so we’ll see. Thanks for watching.

[@JL-rx6hl]

not could WILL

[@petersabolewsky4983]

I am not an electrician but I would have made that joint ABOVE ground in a junction box.

[@rammyboy1039]

I hope you accounted for voltage drop. And why would you make such a splice, brother

[@tango165]

Good video. Great way/idea on running wire.

[@Pat2317]

Great idea!!

[@mito6532]

trust me, you want to redo that first splice

[@maykevin5]

Need a GFCI in that outlet and also that splice will fail eventually.

[@LivingOurAmericanDream]

There is a ground fault receptacle at the beginning of that circuit. Agree on the splice. Not ideal, but when it fails I get to use my cool tractor tool again to run a full brand new line!

[@ericdw5678]

Why lose that outlet? Not a good idea with the splice. I would have hooked into the box

[@Reaperofwind]

That subsoiler is sized right for the tractor.

[@tompenny9352]

Man I recognize the sound of that hydrostatic transmission. You could have used some AG tires except for the ATV (pulling your tractor) lol. good job though. I bet the splice has held up.

[@LivingOurAmericanDream]

Yeah, that job was one of the few that I needed ag tires, but would have wrecked the yard worse. Splice still holding up. When it fails I’ll dig it up and run new wire, really easy using that subsoiler! Thanks for watching!

Shrink wrap.😉

[@deerepower337]

Everything was pretty neat except for that spice.

[@irisheyesofbelfast]

Question, please. Do women have success at this job, or will I be bullied until I can't take it? Lol My husband's job won't hire women and he seems to think I will be humiliated. I'm strong, in great shape, and spent years as an ER RN lifting people. Thank you

Whole lot to unpack there ...

Can some pin this location as danger. I want to make sure and stay away lol

[@LivingOurAmericanDream]

I prefer folks stay away, so this is perfect!

[@mito6532]

it's called electrolysis

[@Kevin-me3wy]

Thats not up to any codes

[@Michael-td3wl]

Electrical wire should be buried in pipe, if not there would be an electrical issue in the future cause of it rotting on plastic covering wire

[@LivingOurAmericanDream]

Hi Michael, you’re actually incorrect. Wire used here is rated for direct burial. Also, when the public utility ran the main underground lines to my shop, they are direct bury, not in pipe (I think you meant conduit).
