I ran the Gradalls 26 years ago for the Country, (A Warner Swacy, G3W, W660, XL3100) they are Great Equipment the Operator here left a Lot on the Table. We installed about 3 Driveways a Day, never Bedded the pipe in Chat used the dirt that came out of the ditch around the pipe & toped off with Base!

My grandfather was a mechanic on Gradall's. He could make those machines talk to him.

If you can’t get F350 pulling a trailer in that drivewayas is you do not belong pulling any sort of trailer on the road ever!,

Shut up Karen's

Dude a road tractor pulling a 53 foot trailer could EASILY pull into the existing driveway, FORWARD OR IN REVERSE. Why on earth would you do this for a F350 and any trailer you could possibly connect to it? The existing driveway was waaaaay more than big enough.

I'm a heavy equipment operator for a county road dept in WA. I would love to try out a gradall for ditching. Looks much more efficient than doing it with a backhoe.

I grew up in Washington State in Tacoma. I have so much respect for the work you do.

I would have ask for double walled plastic steel will rust over time and plastic will last longer

I didn’t know that. Thanks! Sadly, the City decides every aspect of the build. 😢

ABS much smarter than metal, the inside is smooth walled for efficient water flow thry. Extruded metal has the interior ridges, same as outside. Reduces flow and makes it easier for debris, dirt to lodge and clog.

Good to know. I wonder (I never asked) if the City would have allowed AND? Next time . BTW, the metal pipe does clog, that I have seen which makes sense

You are so right 😀 the F350 dually is 21 feet long pulling an enclosed 45 foot long trailer. Love the setup but 90 degree turn beats me everyday. I need all the help I can get 😊

Dude, driving lessons from any one of us who pull trailers regularly would be free (our pleasure actually) versus spending all this money for an unnecessary driveway expansion. This is just ridiculous. Pretty much anyone could pull your rig in and out of a driveway much smaller than what you started with. And you’re expanding it? This is totally wasted money. Just get with someone to teach you how to properly manage a trailer or your own driveway is the least of your worries. How do you drive around town if you can’t manage that ridiculously easy driveway? I’m being completely serious man. We are here to help you. Please stop wasting your money bro. We will help you.

Why do they get the right to move your driveway and stuff?? If they did that where I live we could sue them

You would be laughed out of court. You don't own to the roadway, your driveway actually extends into the right of way. In the county I work for our average right of way is 40 feet wide (20 feet each side of center of road) though some of our right of ways are as small as 20 feet. Good rule of thumb is look at the utility poles. Utility poles are almost always placed in the right of way. I do this work for a living as a heavy equipment operator for a county. We actually take "ownership" of all culverts once the builder installs them and we approve them. We are responsible for the cleaning of them as well as the replacement. When we replace them we repair the driveway unless it's concrete. Concrete driveways are not approved in the right of way here though people do them. We don't care but they also understand that if we rip up the driveway we won't replace it if its concrete, though we will put asphalt down if they wish.

What did I do twice? Thanks

Do it for America. If you're doing it for money, Saudi has jobs for you. Americans do it with blood, sweat, and tears. $ is only temporary, cuz digital currency is controlled by financial challenged individuals with zero experience.

That explains a lot.

Nothing like over complicating a driveway culvert.

Why didn't you have everything ready, instead of doing it twice.

omg what a waste of time using a gradall. Done been long gone with a backhoe. should of used double wall plastic instead of metal. better water flow. Metal culvert last bout 8yrs anymore.
