Tip for cleaning the concrete cover app tie a rope onto a long 2×4 push the 2×4 through the Culvert with the backhoe poke a hole in a small bucket tie the rope throw the hole tie the other end of the Rope to the back hole and start pulling real easy while running water through the culvert

[@HamiltonvilleFarm]

Ah! Super smart 👍

[@coypatton3160]

Hank to help your gravel stay in place, sprinkle some mortar mix on it and them lightly wet it. You may need to add mortar several times ti get it to stay and shaped how you want it.

[@HamiltonvilleFarm]

Good idea Coy👍

[@coypatton3160]

Hamiltonville Farm it sorta is like making it crushed rick with fines included. At least that is southeast Missouri terminology.

[@robertforget6369]

great video keep up the good work thanks guys keep safe

[@HamiltonvilleFarm]

Thank you Robert 👍

[@markmccoy1304]

Gina had a brilliant idea with the pipe and water hose, excellent Gina. Hank I was pretty impressed with your Backhoe skills. You were on the money Bubba. God bless. Mark.

[@HamiltonvilleFarm]

Thanks Mark. I appreciate you buddy. Hope all is well.

[@ashtoncrow9368]

If you can get a strong rope or chain all the way through, you can use an old lawnmower tire to “pig” out the line. By pulling it through with the tractor. Using a Tire off the rim is easiest to pull. It will fold up and make a small clearing that will expand with repeated passes. I used that trick on a 18 inch city road drain that was packed full of sand.

[@HamiltonvilleFarm]

Great idea👍

[@stevemc3265]

Good video Hank! Glad to see a new tractor video.

[@HamiltonvilleFarm]

Thanks Steve 👍

[@davida.p.9911]

Looks good so far! I've had first hand experience with getting water to flow where it's supposed to go. It can be difficult. One slight incline and it starts flowing back on ya. Sometimes making a little reservoir helps to push it along too. I hope you get the results you want!☺🚜 Thanks for sharing, Hank!

[@HamiltonvilleFarm]

Thanks David. Good idea

[@houndsmanone4563]

nice work, Hank & Gina. Yep, those culverts get logged fast. It wouldn't be as much of an issue if there was constant water flow. Enjoyed a full-watch, folks. Have a fine week. 👍🏽🙂.

[@HamiltonvilleFarm]

Thanks for watching Don. Take care

[@ReapWhatYouSeauxLeJeune]

Great job 👊

[@HamiltonvilleFarm]

Thanks

[@Gen_X_Jimmy]

The way I clean out our culvert pipe is run a chain thru it with an old lawnmower tire attached to 1 end and pull it thru with my truck. It works pretty well

[@HamiltonvilleFarm]

Good idea👍

[@jasoncline4383]

Good job 👍

[@HamiltonvilleFarm]

Thanks Jason👍

Doing good there hank ! All it takes is a little practice Enjoy your videos buddy Y’all have a good one 👍🏻

hey when ur learning to do stuff. snow is better. but u will get it all down. looks good to me

[@HamiltonvilleFarm]

Thanks Jason 👍

[@dadams1437]

You should dig a sump on the uphill end of the pipe entry. The silt will settle there instead if in the pipe.

[@HamiltonvilleFarm]

Thanks for that idea👍

[@dr.leonardhofstadtersavage6413]

Good idea using the pipe, and water hose together. Its hard to get that clumped up mud moving. 👍👍👍

Thanks. Sometimes you gotta work with what you have. I appreciate you watching Doc👍

Ditch maintenance is very important but ppl don’t think about it till it floods

[@HamiltonvilleFarm]

This is true. Thanks for watching 👍

[@ReapWhatYouSeauxLeJeune]

Metal detector came in handy

[@HamiltonvilleFarm]

Sure did👍

[@brentwatson1656]

You can add pressure treated 2x4s to your stabilizer arm pads on your backhoe to prevent sinking in or tearing up your lawn. I"ve had mine for years, just bolt on and go. It's a cheaper option than buying the rubber pads. Depending on size of stabilizer pad you may want to use 2x6. Happy diggin!

[@HamiltonvilleFarm]

Thanks Brent👍

[@deanbarr5740]

I believe that will work well. Hopefully the gravel will pack down and hold the sand from eroding into and plugging your colvert💯👍

[@HamiltonvilleFarm]

It's been working the last few days during some heavy rains. So far so good.

[@deanbarr5740]

That is great bro

[@LifeOnTheRidge]

Nice!! Bring that backhoe to The Ridge! Haha

[@HamiltonvilleFarm]

Heck yeah!

[@wesreeder6721]

A metel detector can be a guy's best friend. good job on unplugging the pipe. Hope you got lots more videos. Kooks pretty hot were your at. I'm in wash. We haven't gotton out of the 60's yet. How bout ya. Love it Hank.

[@HamiltonvilleFarm]

Thanks for watching Wes👍

[@TheNakidGardeners]

great video. I was going to suggest jetting the pipe to clean it out too. I know you were just using what you had but a good 3-4" rock around there entrance and exit portion of the pipe would help with erosion.

[@HamiltonvilleFarm]

Thanks for watching Sidney👍

[@bosshogg6030]

glad you found your pin

[@HamiltonvilleFarm]

Me too. Thanks for watching 👍

[@terrymangum3914]

Hank, be careful in that quicksand. Lol. The pressure washer sounds like a good idea to get the dirt and sand out of the pipe. Enjoyed the video.

[@HamiltonvilleFarm]

Thanks Terry. I appreciate you watching

[@MikeDPlxztc]

You can get concrete plastic or tin end caps for Culvert pipes just Google it up you find all kinds of different ones concrete especially a real cheap I think

[@HamiltonvilleFarm]

Cool thanks 👍

[@scottfoster2487]

Guys I was only 13 wen I was driving tractors 1 leaver fiat 480 in Pakistan wen I turned 16 my grandad got me 3610 Ford new and it was thy best thing out at time and only issues I had wer front bearing and hydraulic issues other wise solid tractor 20yrs we ran that so sad wen sold now got Massey ferguson 385 4x4 good tractor x

[@HamiltonvilleFarm]

That's awesome 👍

[@CamppattonFamilyCompound]

I would at least dig a sump hole in front of the inlet of the concrete pipe for the silt to gather before entering the pipe. A concrete catchment would work the best and is easy to clean out.

[@HamiltonvilleFarm]

Good idea 👍

[@stevek4449]

Time index 11:44 why tractors need built in metal detectors... to find parts it loses while working perhaps? Lol gotta be a backhoe attachment for sure🤪👍

[@HamiltonvilleFarm]

Yeah for sure!

[@HeritageFarmsTexas]

Good work, I like to see people working. Question, how do you like that AC? A little better than that open cab? You guys are crushing it. Congrats on passing 60k. ROCKSTARS. GREAT CHANNEL.

[@terryduprie6313]

Hank, nice backhoe work. We had a similar issue and they blew it out with a huge pressure washer. Question for you: now that you've been around the Branson, the Mahindra, and the Kioti, which one do think is the better quality product? Keep those videos coming.

[@HamiltonvilleFarm]

I like the Branson of the three. It's been really impressive so far.

[@MikeDPlxztc]

Careful digging with your hands when you're using your detector I was trying to locate a steel washer once thought I had it started digging with my hands and found an old Broadhead arrow tip give me a nice cut. I did end up finding the washer👍

Oh man. Good point 👍

[@lansdenriley965]

Unfortunately looks like mostly sand. Your corrugated pipe will be full of sand in a couple of years, but hey, you’ve got a backhoe !

[@HamiltonvilleFarm]

Yeah. Joys of living by a beach😂

[@1946papafly]

Love your videos, but afraid that small corrugated pipe is just going to make your drainage problem worse.. A small pipe flowing into a larger pipe usually works, but large pipe flowing into smaller one rarely does. That sand, dirt and any other debris will stop where you introduced your new obstruction. Hope I'm wrong, but I doubt it ! Good luck.
