You should add a little ramp “similar to the front of a ski” on the side of the pipe plow to prevent it from digging into the dirt and it will also act like a natural depth stop point.

[@jamesguinn5889]

Mike it's not the fall that hurts, it's the sudden stop at the end of the fall that hurts.😊

[@OneEyeCustoms]

Morning Mike, have an idea for the front of the waterline plow. Weld on a flat plate on an angle on the front side of it to act as a skid. It will help it “float” across the uncut ground and also keep mud from building up there and keep the front of the plow from scalping or digging in as you go.

[@billvandorn5332]

I was thinking the same thing, maybe even having it curved slightly. It did seem to work pretty darn good though.

[@Hewitt_himself]

also be worth adding an improved pipe spool drum to make it a one man operation btw current design needs an outer frame and lid to stop it unspooling

[@SLCFarms]

I can feel Matt’s pain He looks cold and hurting. Been in his shoes many times with my back.

A visit to an acupuncturist for treatment is recommended for a quick recovery, that is if Matt don’t mind 500 very thin steel needles inserted into him?

I've seen water pipe layers on tractors and even on a skid steer but have never seen this set up. Brilliant idea, you can easily change over to a bucket if you need to, plus it's easy to adjust height if you need to, especially if you come across another service. And as ever Mike has good buddies around him.

Exactly thanks

Mikey you might say,”PDDPPP!” Perfect Dirt for Dirt Perfect’s Pipe Plow! If not, I will. But, I won’t try saying it three times really fast.🤓 That uncoiler and plow are instant money makers for you… and bonus, they saved Christmas too! Man, I wish we had that soil, plow and unspooler here. I need to bury 250’ of waterline to my field.. How about you load up and head this way? Make sure you bring the Perfect Dirt or you’ll be chiseling through 250 feet of Ozark rock and tree roots.

[@garybrummett6215]

Nice sticker there on the back window of the 120.

[@Des-kh-41]

As an old retired Mechanical Engineer who owns/operates small equipment on my property, I was very impressed with the performance of your plow and pipe coil feeder - the plow had some hard stuff to handle when you needed the 850 but everything stayed together. Suspect you already figured out that the bottom platform for the pipe coil could be a bit larger in diameter to keep coils from going underneath and your rebar vertical guides could be extended a bit to tame the coil as it wants to unload like a coiled spring. Enjoy your videos so keep up the good work.

[@michaelburton5760]

yep i remember when you first tried that baby works good

[@Papato12]

Excellent work, Mike & Co. "Perfect"!

[@lhr1701]

Good morning Mike great job . I think if had put together a plywood donut that lays onto of the coil it would not pop up like a slinky .

[@dougkolb3706]

Also make a bracket close to the outside guide eye to hang a spool of "tracer" wire so it will uncoil next to the pipe and make the guide eye smooth rod instead of rebar so it won't chaff the water line

[@DirtPerfect]

Very happy with the way it works

[@randycarpenter2914]

A suggestion on the spool put a drag brake on it to prevent free running. Put two pulleys together that guide the pipe between them and allow it to pull smooth. Just a thought that might help it work better for you.

[@kaydog2008]

Neat poor mans fix for extra traction in the mud. Learned it in Alaska. Using lengths of harden 1/2" chain. Weld chain at angle on each side of your Grouser Bars with hard facing electrodes. This forms an X when you look down the length of the chains.🤔👍Rich mans fix replacement grouser bars of different thicknesses ordered online you can weld these on with hard facing electrodes also.

[@boscott5687]

Suggestion for improvement to the plow, you might want to add another tube to run your tracer wire a few inches above the water line. If lightning ever hits that tracer wire it will split that waterline wherever it touches the wire like a knife. Happens all the time on pvc mains

Dont worry, when or if a coupling fails under the ground, they will almost immediately know where its at by the thousands of gallons of water flowing up through the ground.

[@warrenmichael918]

@@thtadthtshldntbe if its such a small leak that isnt big enough to see through the dirt, what good will a GPS do in help finding the leak though? They will know about where these lines are anyways. Im not sure why or what happened to your families yard to make them dig it all up but that sucks.

[@thtadthtshldntbe]

@@warrenmichael918 you just did up those spots to see if its there. The actual leak on my grandfathers line was where the connection between the city water was to his line. Not that they knew that but they also had no idea where that connection was. Unless its due to damage or corrosion the points of connection are where leaks are going to occur. IF the knew where the city line connected to my grandparents they would have dug there first and only had to spend IIRC like 20% of the cost on digging up over 200 feet of soil with manual labor (no room for a machine).

Mike, If you look up " DITCHWITCH PLOW BLADE " you may be able to modify the " OUTPUT " side of your shoot that will make loading and unloading your pipe (cables) much easier . At current , you have the output side " SOLID " and have to feed up or if needed , a mid line cut your pipe. Also the damage on the last JOINT before Pump shack , would have been caused by the SAWING action ( CAUSES KINK or CHAFING )when the plow ran into TOUGH soil .Nice to see things working . (there must be a better way " ⛄🌞

[@dannyabston7051]

Now that’s how you put pipe in the ground ! Awesome video

[@johnnyhomegrownholmgren9999]

Just an idea.... Why not make different boots for that plow for different sizes of pipe? If you are able to make a boot for a 40 mm pipe, then you will be ready to install loops for geothermal heatpumps! That plow reach a perfect depth, and you got some niiiiice clay. A Perfect combo to get a good, reliable source of heat. 👍 Nice job, boys! ( One more idea... What about putting a chain between the undercarriage and the plow, so you don’t put an extreme force thru the boom and stick when pulling the trackhoe with the dozer? Might save the 120 a bit.)

[@Crewsy]

Geothermal needs to be much deeper than a supply line. Probably at least double what your frost line is.

[@johnnyhomegrownholmgren9999]

@@Crewsy : It depends on the soil. Here in Sweden, we usually don’t dig deeper than the frost line. If you dig deeper, the sun has no chance to warm up the soil around the pipe, and you risking to create permafrost. And the pump will not work properly with permafrost in the ground. I hope you get my idea... There are many ways and theories how to do it. 👍
