I’m glad you told him about moving the laser instead of just sitting there and watching him fail like 99% of operators would do 👊 good looking out bro

That is why they stick the guys that need to learn with me. I am willing to teach anyone who wants to learn. I do lose my patience every so often and chew some a$$.

I'm a small septic contractor, seeing this big civil work is fun to watch!

Good to see you still at it 👍Hopefully you are busy all is good down here in Southern California busy busy great video brother 👍

Thanks 👍, We have a ton of work lined up this year. Happy for you too.

Glad to see you're back. Great work as always. Can't believe how bad that machine beats on you. Seems like that 500 class by Kobelco is kind of a disappointment.

Yea the KOBELCO rigs don’t rank very high on my list of rigs. I actually had this rig taken off a job and swapped for a John deer 450 with over 10k hours on it. And it out dug the 500. They are unstable machines. But that is what the company is buying. So I am stuck with them.

Good to see a new video!

Since you guys use top lasers instead of pipe lasers what is the one you guys use brand-name model? Just wondering because I use a piper 200 from Leica but my top lasers do not go to percentages for sewer pipe it will do 2% but it won’t do say 1.9 Percent

We use Sitech lasers. Our lasers can do 8% witch we never really do. Most of the slops we do are like 0.24-0.38. Not my favorite laser to use, Iforget the name of the one I use to use that would go to 24%.

@@TheLeverMonkey thanks brother I appreciate it!!!

We’re both in California, shouldn’t you have a 4 foot bench if you’re having a 4 foot vertical and then your slope?? You did say that you had it engineered for a slope less that 1 to 1, did that include no bench? The soil looks like a B soil so I would do 1 to 1 slope even if you had it engineered. Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy your videos but just had a couple questions about this video. Keep the videos coming 👍🏽

No worries, it is a valid question. So even if it was a 1:1 slope you don't have to have a bench at the top of your vertical cut. You can slope it at the top of the vertical to the top of the slope. I do a 4' walking path at the top of the ditch instead of the required 2 foot set back for spoils. This pushes back the weight of the pile from the ditch. This is also part of our requirement for the 3/4:1. But if you do a bench at any location in the slope it is required to be a 4' wide bench. Years ago 2' was all that you had to do, that changed about 7 years ago. If I think their will be a issue with the ground I would open up the trench till I thought it was safe. If they try to get on me about it, I just say it was a safety concern.

I dont know how it's been for your local brother but these past 2 Years I have been dealt hands down the worst laborers I have ever worked with !!! I have no problem giving guidance to a kid that wants to learn but they watch movies on their phones and listen to music and make tic toks .... super annoying 😒

Yes, and I hate it. I really don’t like KOBELCO equipment. They have a few that I can tolerate. Like the sk 210 Hybrid. I made a video on that rig.
