I've been watching your videos 4 a very long time. The abilities of your company the equipment that you own or operate never ceases to amaze me. There are people who operate backhoes on their channels and that's all they do LOL I don't know why people come back and watch him. Everyday your videos show another skill set that you have. Sometimes when I see a business owner like yourself who everyday somehow overcome an obstacle like it's second nature. Thanks again for sharing all your videos

Seeing the bridge being put in and ya'll crossing the creek reminded me of a Tract of timber I helped mark some poles on. The landowner owned like 700/ 800 acres outside of Abbeville, Ga. Some of it was pine plantation in the Ocmulgee River swamp, but there was a large island across a fork of the river that the landowner built a bridge too. He took the bridge out after they finished cutting the island, but it was amazing.

I was doubting like you were for those loggers to make it across that setup with the trailers I been in trucking 10 years and I know the flat bed tend to twist and wouldn’t be ideal for a bridge unless welded with some ideal bracing on a angle to prevent the twist. Good call on using the logs instead👍🏽

That was a good idea to error on the side of caution for the machines. Before you even mentioned putting trees in the creek, actually I was thinking the same thing. Railroad car bridges are what we use.Not only are they narrow, like you said, also throw the mud factor in. I had a contract hauler slide his loaded truck off the bridge, when it got slippery with mud. He never drove across one and was nervous, again little margin for error on a railcar bridge.
