Bobcat SAL Movin Stuff. Trenching Electric Cable

[@tommyordoyne7461]

Nice work Tim and Christi. I just buried a water line. I layed caution tape about 6" from the surface as I was filling the trench. I also took plenty of pictures of the area for future reference. Have a productive day.

[@ddelano7408]

Love the cat's name! Nice trenching machine also.

[@realpdm]

Your yard back there is looking like a tractor store! You have a lot of irons in the fire looks like! Fun to see all the new stuff you have to share with us.

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Thanks Phillip! Yes, lots of stuff going on. Seems like we have trouble finishing one project before starting 3 more!

We have an American Short Hair similar to your Bullseye, our Ringo has more brown and white colors with a white ring around his tail, hence the name. He has the unique strips like most Short Hairs do, along with an almost perfect Batman symbol on each side of his belly, being 7 years old now and a healthy 20 pounds the symbol has stretched out of shape a little...Bullseye is a beautiful kitten..🐈

My profession is an electrician and would like to help with the electrical. You won't need an LB to go the fuel pump. You actually are required to put some sort of service disconnect there so you can know you are de-energized when working on the equipment because you are unable to see the breaker. This could also serve as an emergency stop in the case of a malfunction of some kind. A 30a pull-out air conditioning outdoor disconnect would work perfectly (usually about 10 bucks). You can then attach a 1/2" liquid-tite the gray flexible hose either all plastic or metal with a plastic covering raceway out of the disconnect and to the pump. You will need either straight or 90 degree connectors for the liquid-tite raceway (they are not the same for the two types of liquid-tite). Also, because it's fuel dispensing equipment, you need to break both poles with the disconnect. That means you need to disconnect both the line AND neutral conductors if it's 120v equipment, or both phases if it's 240v equipment.

[@5075E]

A little pro-tip here. Whenever you change an attachment, especially with in-the-cab implement lock actuators, you should level the implement to the ground and tilt forward after you engage the lock slightly lifting the front of the machine to make sure the implement locks are fully engaged both on the right and left sides. This is a safety procedure to make sure do don't go pick up a load and dump it, and have the whole program swivel down and fall off of the machine. It only takes a couple of seconds. This goes for manual engagements as well whether it's skid steer or pins.

[@curtwhite876]

Nicely done. That was a lot of trench. Can't wait to see the shelter logic building with all the lighting. Vapor barrier and such in place...

[@pnwRC.]

That little trenching implement is neat!

[@danimalx23]

You look good and healthy Tim! I hope you are feeling well after your scare earlier this year, looking forward to watching in 2021!

Hey Tim 🚜 great vlog I really appreciate you sharing this information 🇺🇲💯

Agree 100% UPS is against beepers for a reason. Most people ignore them or have no idea what that sound is.

Bullseye might like the camera more than you think. Enjoyed getting to see all the different toys you used on this video

[@TractorTimewithTim]

He is a bit too skittish at times. As you know, every cat is different.

[@GrampysTractor]

Looked like a wonderful Indiana November day to work outside. Vinny did a great job digging the trench and now to finish the wiring will take twice as long. I have to make some time to visit the new barn. Bullseye looks like a great addition.

[@mostmusketboy]

I bet there is a fuse you can pull to disable it most do. You can always put it back when your working where you need it

[@peterkober6758]

Tim Christi that trenches is the greatest thanks for taking me along God Bless All PaK

[@Ryan809]

A little piece of tape over the beeper works wonders on making it quieter we do it all the time in industry sometimes the peepers are so loud they hurt your ears in quiet work sites

[@2chipped]

Having done some trenching. The deeper you go,(as you go max vertical as the machine allows) the easier it is to serpentine/radius your trench.

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Makes sense

[@2chipped]

One other tip,overdig by 6 inches on each side of an obstacle. Than use a waterhose to to wash the soil which flows into the extra depth.

[@cubleycat]

I cant believe you didn't push that load of rock out the way lol. Great to see you feeling fit and digging by hand Tim ❤️

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Didn’t matter. Bought the wire in 100’ roll, and had enough to go around it. Just bein lazy I guess. I did move it 5’ or so to make the path a bit shorter.

[@gkcontractor8432]

Typical home owner it's 70 feet why did you charge me for 90 feet

[@ronalddean4834]

Hi Tim one day your going to have to inventory your equipment and just video and show everyone your toys. You have as much as some dealers. Great job trenching and video thanks for sharing

[@daves2960]

Maybe a good time to throw an air line in the trench too. Would be nice to see some sort of “ripper” or other tractor attachment for those without such a large equipment selection.

[@hugostiglitz8465]

In Pennsylvania utility locating services are free..fyi. Tim and Christi, another great video. That Ventrac is pretty awesome. Have a good day!

[@AdamMuhle]

Isn't it free everywhere? Note: Tim was talking about a fee to locate a component of his private septic system. It's not managed by a utility, so the 'free' part doesn't apply.

Knowing where your fiber line is located is a big deal, along with other tile, and underground items on one’s property. Keeping track of those things can be be invaluable info and too often not recorded for future. I guess I’d better get busy😉

[@davidhosmer1424]

Lay a " buried electric caution " tape above wire. You wouldn't normally put air and water lines in the electrical trench but it's your land and your trench. Even if you don't install air and water now at least bury the pex tubing. Hello to Bull's Eye, Meow Meow Take care

[@johnbourgeois1414]

Tim the name of that long handle tool you were using is a canal wrench

[@nathanbrodeur]

Tim most electrical codes require a minimum of 18 inches below ground and then recommended the magnetic tracing tape to help with locating it in the future

[@gkcontractor8432]

You can locate a electric line without any tracer required

[@d.a.ballou9740]

[@donhepler294]

You may wish you had laid the cable inside a conduit. I learned that the hard way when I had to replace a cable feed to the barn.

[@genedameier8746]

Me too. Critters like to chew on electric cable. It's warm and they think it's food.

Residential wiring, 15 or 20 amps, 120 volts, protected by a ground-fault circuit-interrupter 12” depth. Best Regards, Jay

[@rich873]

You don't have to lock in the attachment if your just moving it.

[@brucealvarez9263]

Is the backup beeper REQUIRED at one's personal residence? Too bad that cable wasn't buried when the rock pile wasn't there. Some future owner is going to make a seriously bad assumption as to how the wire gets from the barn to the shed.

[@ronniehoward8105]

Tim I got to use my friends brand new Johnny and tiller to fix my yard that wild hogs had torn up . Loved it for that job it was the perfect tool.l have a Mahindra 4530 but I don't have a tiller that tractor is to big for what I was doing anyway. The Johnny only had 3 hrs on it when I borrowed it that's a good friend right there

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Yep, good friend. ...and yes, Johnny with a tiller is a wonderful machine!

[@eosjoe565]

I don't think the backup alarm is actually "required" when working on your own property. A lot of machines these days have a switch to turn it off when not needed. If that machine wasn't a loaner you could always use nippers. :-)

[@brianhillis3701]

Close if you are a company (some farms) or covered by OSHA you must have it. If not covered like a residential property you can disable it. Tim who has a landscaping company might have a problem if he takes it off his property to do a free job for a friend or church. If somebody got hurt when the alarm was diabled he would need a lawyer. He might win but it would still cost him. In Japan people found it so annoying the alarm sounds in the cab but not outside so the person about to be runover doesn't get the warning.

[@eosjoe565]

@@brianhillis3701 I used to have a neighbor across the street that drove one of those service trucks with the crane on the back. Every morning he would leave for work at 4AM and BACK out of his driveway with what had to be a 200 db backup alarm beeping. It got me awake every morning. I wished he would BACK in at night so he could pull out in the morning. Thank goodness he finally moved.

[@brianhillis3701]

@@eosjoe565 many localities and HOAs ban commercial vehicles being parked in residential neighborhoods because of that. Some just ban them from the street which would not have helped you.

[@gungadinn]

Tim, I'd kill for your soil (well, almost). I've got limestone all over the place. Under my living room, is a crawl space that has a bolder the size of a large car. I'm lucky as the rest of the house has a basement. When I built my shop a few years back, I wanted to run 100 amp service, following code, which is below frost line, meaning 36" deep. The only way to get power was to have a contractor with a rock saw to cut the trench. 200' of trench, $1500. Bullseye is a Marble kitty. Good looking cat.

Through the years I’ve always heard former Bobcat owners cuss them ... brand new I suppose they work great but after 1,000 hours or younger things break and break often. The hydraulic clamps are great now but I kinda cringed and thought to myself ... “something else on a bobcat to break”. You may have an excellent experience but the skid steers are terrible after some use.
