Having worked for both the company that supplies your logs, as well as the company that sells the wheel loader where you got the load of stone, I really enjoy watching your videos. Keep up the good content

Absolutely love watching you with kubotas. You better get help with all fire wood. I’m from Mercer county. I was out on my b26 with grapple bucket moving saw logs out of area before heavy rainstorms it’s Sunday morning. I love my grapple bucket I can move a lot of logs and stumps. I live on 35 acres. I want an excavator badly. Just can’t swing it at moment. But it’s your fault I want one
Can’t beat using the right tools for the job! 👍
Quite a logging operation the yard has turned into . Too bad you don’t have a quarry on your property. Sunny 😎 Sunday to everyone.
like a man who knows what he's doing and how to do it good job MIKE
GOOOOOOD SUNDAY MORNING EVERYONE OUT THERE IN OWTM LAND!!!

Hi Mike I live east of Lancaster Ohio about 30 miles South East of Columbus Ohio. I was thanking watching your video if your sister does not need all that dirt you should take it home and expand your wood yard on the lower level you never have enough room ever. have a great day remember God never makes a bad day.
Great log unloading music, good morning from Tennessee.
Could you imagine trying to dig that by hand. Looks good that will help your sister out a lot when the heavy rains hit western PA.
Another great video and the music you played was very enjoyable. Wish I new the name of the song.
Morning all from Sunny Ontario Into the 90's today... Lets take a look at what Mike's up to... Pete from Canada 🇨🇦
Looks great Mike, another great job on the driveway getting rid of the hard rain destruction. Thanks for sharing, keep up the great videos and stay safe. Fred.

Another great video Mike. The music was good and the quality of videography was nothing less than professional. Your friend Tom Hauss has gotten really good w his videography also, I think he's getting better w each video. I love the days both of you post, really makes my day! I would also like to say kudos to you for not saying a quote you used to say a lot - "I'm not a professional, but..." because you really are a professional w every piece of equipment you have. It really is a joy to watch a pro use and take care of his equipment. As always, thank you for sharing this awesome REAL content, just so you know, I have a big smile on right now!👍🚜❤🇺🇸🇺🇸
That log stacker is a neat machine!!!

Nothing to it really. Bell and spigot design of the pipe allows for easy assembly. Spigot end is equipped with a rubber o-ring gasket. Just install the pipe with the bell end first. Put a little backfill on it to keep it from moving them throw the section with the spigot end in the trench. Push them together with the bucket of the machine. The pipe has a mark on it to indicate "home" so that complete insertion of the bell and spigot can be verified. Some people put lubricant on the bell portion to facilitate assembly, but it is not absolutely necessary. Care must be taken to properly line up the pipe and also make sure that the o-ring does not roll out of the groove on the spigot end. It is handy to have someone guide the two sections together and watch the procedure but I install them all the time single handedly. I find that it is good to dig a small cavity in front of the bell, (bell hole) to help keep the spigot end from dragging dirt into the bell during assembly. This will foul the connection. If the pipe requires excess force to get to the "home" position, it will be necessary to take it apart and find out the problem and do a little connection pathology. It could be that the two pipes are misaligned, gasket rolled over, or debris inside the bell. Good luck!

Nice job Mike. Always taking care of family. Stay safe.
I love the move pushing the dirt in the trench forward with the bucket as the KX moves forward.
Some of the left over rock you have from the landscape project around the shop would be great for the mouth of the pipe.
I like your opening tune.
On A Regular Residential Area You Would Use Two 20 Foot Stalks Of Pipe For The Roadway And Ditches To Work Out Right.
Nice job on the driveway. I'm sure your sister will appreciate it greatly. It's gonna be really nice.
I grew up by the Roanoke river. That song touched me. Nice song man!! Ghosts of Liberty!
Great job Mike you sure have alot of fun working with all that machinery
LOVED the intro music!!! I have said it many times. Your excavating skills amaze me!
As always, it’s great to watch you in action, thanks
No one man should be allowed to have as much fun doing work as you do Mike :-)
Good morning from Upstate South Carolina. Life is great when you have the right tools for the job. Have another productive day. Who sings the opening song?
I never realized how close you guys live to me!
Now you got plenty to keep ya busy, but it's what you like to do. Just don't get too hot. Here in Oklahoma we've been dealing with no rain over100° heat everyday. Can't do anything!
Another fun day outdoors!
Great video Mike!, you did a good job getting the pipe in!. Its rained here all day!.Morgans good day!.
Great song Mike. Downloaded before it ended. Great subject as I have been contemplating this for the daughter Emily and son-in-law Billy. Thank!
What I like is a 2A and finer mix layered down {Limestone} and it crushes in and seals. Then 2A rock on top after a week or two. Roadbase and surface .
Good morning to all from SE Louisiana 17 Jul 22.
Well done! Very nice job indeed, you certainly have a superb skillset. Enjoy watching your channel, I am constantly learning a lot from you all on how to do these projects. Nice too that you all help out your family and friends so much. Very admirable trait! Press on!
Another great video Mike. We loved the music, my wife added it to her play list. Finally getting a little rain here, hoping it keeps our corn going thru this next week. 100 forecast for the next week.
Lookin Good!! That pipe is handy and easy to work with!! Keep Smiling On!! 😀👍👊
Awesome job Mike!
ANOTHER GREAT DAY MIKE!!!! GOD BLESS YOU ALL!!!!!!!
You can bring the mini over to mine house , I have about 20-25 stumps to dig out
Good Job Mike... Going to get hot this week.. 100+ Stay cool..
I really understand how much you enjoy playing with all your toys. I also enjoy watching all the different projects you get involved with. My question is, are all these projects actual needs, OR, are they just really great excuses to get more seat time with your toys. Whatever the reason, I really enjoy watching.

Now, those are some logs. Nice!!
Excellent job Mike.

Another great video: Great tunes, minimal talking, not hawking merch.
Very nicely done. That pipe looks pretty rugged for heavy traffic/trucks.
I like the change in music, really nice, thanks!

Good one Mike, take care
Most fail to get adequate fall in their culvert pipes and they silt in. The plastic may be an improvement over metal (which fails eventually) The recommended fall for the pipe to be self cleaning is 4 % if one does not have enough fall a clarifying basin can be put on the high side of the culvert to collect debris prior to the culvert The basin is usually lined with old brick or block and large enough to periodically be cleaned w a square point shovel. Most place a grate over the top of the basin and have the elevation of the culverts bottom a couple of inches above the bottom of the basin. Also if one ever contemplated paving have 4” of stone compacted over the culvert.
If you think those 16-inch pipe are expensive try buying the 36-inch road tile like that. We bought a hundred feet of it to go under a paved road and it was 7 thousand dollars and I picked it up and transported it myself.

Amen Country music, I Thank The Lord! Bless you Brother. Some people don't know that the inside of that conduit is smooth, first one I got I thought it was corrugated inside. Thankfully now I have a crossing over the ditch. I sized it relying on the county engineers sizing it correctly up stream, 30". I get lucky that way sometimes, but don't always rely on that...
@davidmorse8432

That pipe can come as single wall or double wall. The single wall is courrugated inside and out. Don't get that kind because it is weak and the roughness inside can restrict flow thru the pipe and cause debris to build up inside the pipe. You get what you pay for.

Who needs cable when we've got you guys to watch, Mike?! Btw, great music!
Wish I could back a trailer like that.
Looking good mike👍
what do you do for head wall and end wall we use stone for end wall and bag cement for a head wall stops wash outs at the front of the pipe just a thought
Not sure if you’ve ever heard of this but I was always taught to put the native dirt back in with the culvert you get less freeze Thawing action maybe in western Pennsylvania it doesn’t freeze that hard I don’t know I’m from Vermont
Nothing like the right machine in the hands of a skilled operator; a job well done Mike are you saving some of the dirt pile to level the drive after rains and compaction???
I would call that a tremendous success !! Good job, Mike !! Where was your Foreman on this job ? Hopefully, she signed off on the project !! Tee Hee !!
If you still have any of the rocks/ boulders that you used for landscaping around your driveway left you could use them to build a little catch basin at the inlet of that pipe. Just a thought since you get so much water rushing thru there sometimes.
Greetings! I really enjoy watching your videos, you have a wholesome channel that I appreciate. I was going to suggest matching your ditch bottom with the bottom of the pipe so as to prevent rock, dirt and leaves from eventually clogging up the pipe. Have a Great Day!
Loved the music in the opening of this video. Could you include the name and artist? I would like to say that yo do excellent job getting the sound from your equipment. Thanks for another video.
Looking good Mike.
Mike at 5:51 their is a tree that is over were your working, ya might want to take it out, it's leaning a lot.
The biggest difference between men and boys is the price of their toys! Mike really likes his toys.
