Very good video. Thank you.

Very Interesting. I have Never seen a Machine like the one in the video. I have seen the Older machines like that but not a modern. Thanks for sharing.

Great vidio Mike. My father-in-law was a ditcher too. I in Florida for the winter watching a Farmhand Mike vidio.thats awesome.

Outstanding video! 😉 Thank you very much! 😊👍🏻

Great machines. They are doing a great job, but they may want to consider pointing the bell end of the pipe upstream for better connection integrity.

Very interesting video Mike!!! Great job! 👍

Thanks for sharing the video of installing replacement County drainage. Makes sense the County should provide major drainage lines. I grew up in Fruita, Colorado on a 40 acre horse hay farm. Dad ceramic tiled the twenty foot deep drainage ditch top 40. He recovered many more acres to farm. Then, he had the farm leveled. But, we always had a small alkali sink in a .25 acre. I like the plants in it. Dad also installed cement ditches to have enough water for the hay & pumpkin farm. Three of us kids had our own pumpkin business young. Adding irrigation water in the high desert, caused higher levels of alkalinity in the fields. They installed drainage for alkaline water to drain from Grand Valley floor old sea bed. So, government over a hundred yrs ago, installed in a grid if open drainage ditches through the valley from Palisade to Mack, CO. Then, it was up to property owners to maintain the deep drainage ditches, that dump off into the next wash. Then, most of the irrigation ditches in the Grand Valley were cemented to reduce the alkalinity in the Colorado River.

Now that's an interesting operation, with some very interesting kit

You don't see that out in Oregon. Thanks for sharing as that was some great footage👍‼️

Cool video. Never seen them lay the big pipe!

Excellent video Mike 🚜👍

Up in Hardin County, Ohio back in the day Dad backfilled with his John Deere MD Crawler. Would have blisters on his hinnie at the end of the day. A man would use a spade on the non-dirt pile side to cover the tile so a rock from the backfill would not break the tile. Dad referred to these as the "County Ditch or Tile".

that is called bedding the tile, I have done that with every bit of tile I installed, clay and plastic. Then i fill in the trench. My father & uncle did it it that way & never had a problem using that method.

Good video Mike. Enjoyed that very much.

Nais video!. Thank you.

When the trencher picked up the box, there was a lot of weight on back and you could see her lifting a little on the tracks. Very quick operation in the right ground conditions plus the crew know there jobs very well..

Same with the weather here in the Mid-Ohio River valley. 80s one day and snow the next. Mother Nature decided on an April Fool's joke.

This kind of operations is what tells that USA is great . All the best from Morocco.

Man that is one heck of a gopher...You could fertilize my soil here in middle Ga. with that soil. Never seen topsoil that deep. No sand or clay just black gold. It is no wonder you folks make the yields you do. I have done drain tile before. That is hard work in that pit. That is one big shoe on that digger. Biggest we ever ran was a 12 inch. Those guys have it down to a science.

Enjoyed the video.

So cool

nice work guys

Hey from over the pond here in the UK, awsum video, no messing, straight to the action, loved it, you got a sub

Really great ROV vids!

Excelente video 👌👍🇻🇪

That was very cool!!!!! Couldn’t have been done better!!! The soil was perfect too. No rocks or roots or much else. Very well done! Everyone did their part really well from the trenching to the pipe laying to the backfilling!!!! Loved it!

Class job ,looking in from Ireland 🇮🇪

Great job

What a machine

intresting video Mike

Amazing group of people and equipment , extremely efficient, great work.

Gut job!!!

Interesting video.

Never seen something like this before. Thanks 🙏 Mike for sharing great 👍 video!

Interesting video

the structure they set is the low point in which they are starting at and laying pipe to the high point like your supposed to do then that would mean they are laying their pipe backwards. The bells always go up hill.

Very interesting video. I enjoyed it and learned something new

Coming from a fellow tile installer here. They are laying the pipe backwards. Also I didn't see them checking elevations to ensure proper height of pipes or manhole besides the level. I'd be very nervous of this company in my opinion. However they have a nice looking buckeye!

Unreal they would put that much money into a drainage system as if it was a subdivision.

That tracker that is digging the pipe ditch. Similarly sound of that machine in one the episodes of the six million dollar man what actor Lee majors was fighting that machine.

Pretty neat little operation. Nice and efficient

This was different, but I liked it a lot, Thanks Mike

Always great to see a competent experienced crew at their best. Bonus suspense and mystery: that rock at about 17 minutes!!! are they going to take it out with them, plant it deep for a future bounteous crop (we all know that rocks are down there propagating maliciously), or just leave it there??? the Farmhand Mike Hitchcock channel. lol

Mike you give us a Wonder wheel for new years. :) Now find the same thing as a ballast cleaner on a railroad next to or on a farm love ot watch that! Maybee John deere or Versitle on the move on the railroad. Love to see farm equip move on a train!

be interesting to know the average annual rainfall

Loved the hooovering shot showing the entire crew at work AFTER showing the operation being preformed at each different work station. I ahve laid literally 1000’s of miles of waterline and loved watching this trencher/digger. never been around one. My curiosity question is simple: How many feet per hour will this machine average in good digging like this?

Who is Mike Less?....I was told to watch his channel..by this guy who knows this guy...🤔

Would liked to have them install a sheet of geo textile fabric and 8-12 " of limestone under that catch basin. Perhaps a "plastic hat" on the folks in the trench but most importantly, Mike Less shirts on everyone in the video. They may work for Cy, but this is a Mike Less video.

Ok if the 24s are draining into the 30, then they're laying the pipe backwards

Cool

One of the pipes exiting the junction box appears not to be joined properly, wouldn't that allow water to not drain properly?

I did enjoy the video but it would be appreciated if you would bring the drone down lower to the project for a better perspective thank you

The guy in the excavator Will get better with time

I thought you were going to show building an intake terrace

How deep is the topsoil.? It looks like it’s all the same top to bottom.

@billysteve1503

I think it was about 12-16”. The job was a few months ago

That angled connection to the concrete basin and then that second pipe to connect to it, they look suspect to me. I think there will be premature problems there.

Forcing the angles instead of using 33 degree or 45 degree fittings saves on costs but results in less than optimal solidity of the connections as well and most likely premature problems.

Nice😃😃😃

Collectively that is a “well oiled machine”

Why is farm field tile drain pipe be laid without geotextile fabric, but geotextile fabric is used when laying drainage pipes around a building foundation or French drain? Thank you in advance.

👀👍

Easy work in a cornfield. Try doing that in the city with underground utilities to deal with. Need trench boxes. Safety disaster waiting to happen.

Shouldn't there be gaskets fitted where the corregated pipes enter the basin?

I wonder how this would work in the hard clay down here in the south

I installed tile for 26 years and the best procedure for laying it in tuff clay was to bed or back fill the trench with good top soil to act like a natural filter.

In the 1980s Gateway Computers (a fairly major PC assembler of the time) was located in I think Iowa. They ran two page ads in the computer magazines, showing a bunch of cows standing around in a field chewing cud. The banner over the top of the picture was "Outstanding in their field!" The text below the picture went on to describe how good Gateway computers were and how good their customer service was. (And at the time, both were excellent, far better than most computer assemblers.)
