- Doing 3 jobs that I've been needing to do for awhile now. Water drainage is a constant maintenance battle, and eventually all pipes clog, collapse, rust out, or fail in some way. Yep, the water always wins eventually.

No laying pipe jokes? Also, Dozer blowing bubbles with his nose. That's some serious cuteness.
I recognize that welder! ROFLMAO
I know right. Starting to wonder if we lost are guy to maturity .
Haa! Someone beat me to it. 😂
Should have been playing some David Wilcox, layin'pipe.
John doesn't dick around like that.
45yrs of construction has taught me that what ever size pipe you think you need get the next size larger 😂
And even then it's not big enough.
When you’re laying pipe, size matters
Yeah man - read my comment to be vindicated. Exactly what you said happened. I was ready but even then I got lucky.
This is true for most things. Bigger is almost always better.
Zero years of professional construction experience, but I think it’s a trade off between how much to spend now to push maintenance further down the road. No matter how large the pipe, Mother Nature will eventually throw enough stuff at it to clog it.
However, I usually overbuild and spend more than I should up front to put off maintenance as long as possible. I like making things but hate maintaining them. I can’t recommend my approach for others, but I’m stuck with who I am.
There's a big difference between not having enough rocks, and not having rocks where you need them. Classic!
I know it is more hassle, but adding concrete between rocks tie them together as well as stopping water going on the outside of the pipe.
i like how there's no junk laying around on your farm. It's neat and makes for nice scenery.
Yes, it’s not russia.
@@tuju- Please. There are plenty of farms around the US that are messy or have junk lying around. Jon's is just a better example of keeping it tidy.
Or... he just chooses to not show us his junk.
@@arcanewyrm6295 sure, i didn’t claim anything against it. But in russia there is not. It’s all the same.
I think he's just really good at keeping it out of sight. Junk is useful for making things.
Damn - missed opportunity - this was the perfect chance for a FarmCraft + Post10 collaboration
Could you imagine Post10 with an excavator!
I was thinking the same thing lol. Post10 would clear the culverts for free!
Post10 only needs his rake to do that.
Take solace in the full saying of the old adage 'A jack of all trades is a master of none, but oftentimes better than a master of one'. Hydraulics, auto electrical, civil works, engine rebuilds, sawyer, just to name a few. Well done 👏
If you want to protect the upstream soil banks from erosion, use soil bags. Hessian bags filled with top soil, place them on the banks. An seeds in the soil will row and the roots will stitch them all together.
You created some CZcams classics in 2023, but in '24 you continue to kill it! I really appreciate the work, but you bring the work to the video quality, and you make this channel a joy to watch.
"Sometimes by hand is easier" - Don't we all know... ;)
Got it !
21:21 Pupper doing pupper things is so cute!
I dont know why, but watching excavators in action has always been mesmerizing to me.
I agree, I have driven excavator type machines for 30 years and quite often come home from work and watch excavator videos 🤦I run a Tigercat LH855e felling trees
Waiting months to add the results of your labor, adds so much to the overall enjoyment of the video. Just seeing the grass come up, out of that straw, made me smile.
Tip:Try to remember to always unload with boom and bucket always facing the ground.Not on trailer.I know annoying but hey it's a comment.
And here was me thinking the boom behind looked awkward but made some sense with managing centre of gravity. OTOH the boom downhill can be an even better tool to manage problems due to centre of gravity. If all else fails he can just walk it off the side and everyone can have a comment. 😉
Why would it be annoying? I'd feel sketchy going down a trailer backwards tbh, but each to their own. I don't see how that would be annoying anyway, the way I look at it, I don't look at safety things as an annoying thing, rather a necessary thing to enjoy the activity you are doing safely, and the privilege of being able to continue doing that activity since you don't get injured! I mean yeah it's probably a bit easier to do it without safety gear or safety procedures but then it's only gonna be a matter of time until you hurt yourself so you can't even do that anymore at all.
Always impressed with your tackling everyday jobs/requirements on the farm. It’s not necessarily rocket science (although at times you do venture into that arena) - it’s actually the stuff that makes the world go round. Thanks!
Hell, I'd even argue stuff that makes the world go around is more important than rocket science, at least to the everyday life of people! Though the frontier of space and science is important as well.
the man, the myth, the legend. Man your content is just the best for a chill friday evening after a stressfull week.
Not a one "Laying pipe" joke? Who are you and what have you done with Jon.
Always good to see Dozer being a little goof.
Frankly, I miss the Johnson jokes and puns.
Post10 would be proud, an excavator operator who didn't just crush the end of the culvert cleaning it out!
I just had the same thought:D
theres no "idiot with an excavator" in this channel
i was just thinking this could have been a collab with @post10 and then i saw this comment :D
I wouldn't mind watching a collab with Post 10 😄👍
This what happens when you pay for damages yourself
I feel a warm, fuzzy sense of accomplishment watching you use the Yanmar that you worked so hard on.
Watching you crush up and destroy that old pipe was oddly satisfying!!!!!
Your body language and posture when you were off the machine placing stones on the white pipe tells the tale of how accustomed you have become using machines to lift and move heavy objects. Plus your comment about loving your excavator. The evolution of a working man.
From my own experience with plastic culverts they are much more resistant to blocking if you concrete around the entrance to remove the sharp edge. The collar face can be at a 90 degree angle to the pipe, but is better if slightly angled in by 10 to 20 degrees. The collar will funnel small sticks & debris into the pipe without them blocking the entrance. Even if larger sticks and logs wedge pile up, the angled collar will hold them away from the pipe entrance, leaving gaps for the water to pass through to the culvert pipe.
Watching you a 2x video speed is like watching those dinosaur movies from the silent films era.
As a kid on my uncles farm, we used chicken wire to stabilize the down stream side of a couple crossings, then added rock over the top to hold it in place.
You can definitely tell that Dozer is a Water Dog.
Hey Jon - the way to keep culverts from clogging is water velocity. In general your easy to alter (relatively) values are slope (greater slope, greater velocity) and roughness (roughness slows down water). A corrugated pipe is going to have greater roughness (and probably effective hydraulic radius) than a smooth wall pipe but the smooth wall pipe needs to be thicker to support the same earth loads thus can be expensive.
But if you got 1 clog in 15 years you don't really have a problem. Maybe an easy solution if you see some areas of the bank sloughing off into the culvert and blocking is to armor the bank with some rocks. Hard to say if its worth the effort given the relatively trouble free history and small culvert size. Alternately for something that clogs more often, some kind of grating on the culvert opening to stope larger pieces of debris from getting in and causing a buildup of soil.
I also wouldn't put rocks directly around the pipe you're having issues with floating. You're right about digging it deeper to try to stop water from getting underneath it, but those large rocks make very porous areas the pipe. Bed it with something more sandy, then layer more normal soil on top, then put rocks on top and on the faces/banks to keep everything weighted down without risking damage to the pipe.
you could make "trash racks" for the culverts, just a box or wedge shape of rebar. so if the front gets clogged the water can flow over the top of the rack and still go through the pipe.
Hey Jon.
Thanks for having the patients to hold off showing bits a pieces. I really enjoyed the start to finish of the video.
Question . . . why didn't you tow the farm cart back to the farm with the excavator?
Rob
Never thought about it. Not much trouble to walk back and get it though. Cheers!
@letsdig18 approves the bell end of the pipe facing upstream! One of his pet peeves 😂😂😂
You're right! Water always wins! And, it doesn't take very long! One gully washer here took out 6 ft of dirt on a farm road, in 15 minutes! Great video, Jon! Lee
Great work John. Makes you realise the work a modern machine like the Yanmar and materials like the pipe can do and save you, in the past those jobs would have been quite a big undertaking digging out with hand tools, stone lining and capping the culverts. Thanks as always for brining us along!
Having a long enough pipe to receive and discharge water is a big key to working properly. Entry water has a swirl that 'eats' the bank away, fills the pipe or washes it down stream. A thoughtful and expert operator (Jon) makes for a good job and video. Thank you for relaxing & enjoyable time in the woods.
That's great work
Here in the Adirondacks we'll usually dig "down and out" around 4ft before the culvert. This will slow the water before entry and give a place for sediment to collect. Easy to clean out if needed. Nothing broke down....
It's nice to see a man with pride and love of his property!! Great video!!
My father in law used bags of sacreete on the down side of his creek crossing culvert. He just layed them in dry and they got solid as rocks and haven't need attention since the mid 1990's but that was in a different time when a bag was a buck and a half.....now they are 6 bucks
Dozer nose bubbles. That's cute 😊
there is a crayfish at 16:47 coming out at of the rock pile. 😆
Holy crap your right. How did you see that. Running for its life. Now he will have to put a disclaimer up. LOL
Whenever I run into an insurmountable problem at work I always look down at my "WWJD?" bracelet and think..... "What Would Jon Do?"........ Keep up the good work Sir!.... Always entertaining and educational.....
Driving while shooting video from behind was definitely a GTA moment!
Agree with stacking rocks and broken concrete on the downstream side. It forms a spillway to stop over-topping water from washing out the crossing.
That part of Dozer in the ditch, he is living his best life right there
With time and persistence, water can create wonderful landscapes and block even the largest pipe. It is very wise of you not to fight against water, but to use it as your ally. Good job John!
You are a fortunate man to have the stewardship of such a beautiful piece of property. Well done sir. Your excavator is like having your own Super man suit!
Jon, having only had this excavator for a short time (a year or so now?), you certainly operate it with precision. I know that comes with practice but you have taken this thing a long way. Bravo.
23:46 - "Get out of my way, stupid tree." -Yanmar
Man, you and Ants Pants give me the 'gusto' to go at things, just bought a new lawnmower to do more work in the back-back-yard instead of a yearly nightmare and procrastination
Jon, the best part of watching your channel is the dedication to solving problems. Your channel is the escape from the chaos in the rest of the world. Thank you. jim
i love listening to you and your assumptions and seeing they usually fail you definitely are a seasoned farmer, lol! kèp up the great content!
Suggestion: I'm in Michigan and we have close to the same weather. When planting fesque on dirt I mix with annual ryegrass because the rye comes up REALLY FAST to hold the soil and germinated seeds in place, then dies off, leaving some composted bio to help the grass. I also soak the seed mixture overnight in warm water with +- a dozen tea bags. That will literally start showing sprouts in a day or so. I especially use on slopes. I do the same with lawn type grasses. Never fails.
Great job! I so love watching you work. What a beautiful place you have. It is like your own private state park.
Thanks!
Hey Jon, interesting and informative video for a city boy. Many thanks from UK.
Rolling in that new pipe was satisfying, when you stepped up on it there was a missing "That's not going anywhere!" lol
WOOOO FRIDAY IS HERE!!!! Thanks for posting today, I sure needed it!
This was huge :)
Those pipes look great, especially with grass on top, adds to soil rigity.
Looks good from my house. Good job John, on both the excavation and the video. Thanks.
The cost of machinery is not cheap but it makes jobs sooo much more efficient. Renting equip gets expensive and with all the back and forth, jobs are put on hold until you have enough to make the rental worthwhile. When you can fix your shit, buying used is the way to go. Things get done when they should get done and once you have it you find so many uses for it.
Great video as always John. Nice to see the grass all up and looking great.
Brilliant job as always John, and just shows how mother nature will always fight back.
Should'a been called "pipe dreams"..love this channel .. never miss an episode.
Man, I can't get through a day in my life without having to fix something!
I always enjoy watching your videos
Good repair, good post, good filming! Enjoyable to watch!!
Great job! You have got the handling of the equipment down pat!
crossing 3 sure looks good
that Yanmar has paid for itself . all that pain doing it up was well worth it
Jon. You need a couple of brackets on your digger rear deck to hold a spade and D-handle shovel. Did the same on the roof of my skidsteer. Handy as....
I appreciate the camera work and content you put into your videos. Keep it up please. That’s all.
Beautiful piece of property!
That crossing 3 turned out beautiful. They all did, actually.
Nice work jon. Definitely a man of many talents. See you next week.
Great format! Loved this start to finish with the 3 mo follow up. Very Camarata of you.
Great long term video time line, so we could see the results of the seeding. Looking good. Thanks for the cute Dozer vid, too! What a goofy puppy. 21:14
Welcome back Jon! Absolutely, highest quality content of it's type on utube!!
You are the best on youtube in my opinion. Fixing, building and excavation.
You are amazing. You remind me of my dad who is longer with us. Keep up the great work and videos. I so enjoy them.
Just a suggestion. While you have the pipe clear you should threadle a piece of chain through it. If it ever gets clogged in the future you can just tie something (such as an old tyre) to the end of the chain and pull it through. Thereby clearing the blockage. You then threadle the chain back through ready for the next time.
The Yanmar is clearly repaying all the hard work it received. Beautiful area. Thank you for posting. Best from the UK.
Great work John. Love your videos 😊
Water is the enemy of anything you want to build. Roads, any kind of structure, any arable land. Good job maintaining, fixing and upgrading.
Thats what I call farmcraft. You have the most beautiful farm. I'm jealous. Love the drone shots.
Absolutely brilliant video
I loved the camera placement at the end of the first job returning to the shop.
Watching the water start flowing after clearing the first one, was extremely satisfying. 😁😎👍
Nice video yet again. Best channel on the Tube!
Hi John this is Ross from Down Under Sydney Australia... I really like your videos content because you are a very down to earth person and say it as it is. As a farmer myself I have many Creeks and Streams on my property. I found the best solution to keep the water flowing is to widen the creeks and streams the full width of my dozer... And the streams the width of the of my Excavator Bucket. Maybe you will find this helpful. Regards Ross. 🙂🙂
Good work Jon...Thank for sharing.
Thanks for that *really good* shot of the jump turn! I still haven't had a chance to try it, but I will next time I'm in the seat!
FC101, great job on getting the pipes where they need to go and put-down grass seed. looks great..
The convenience of you excavator cannot be understated.
It’s funny Jon, every season on a farm brings its joys and woes doesn’t it, never mind though because in the great scheme of things it’s just another form of pleasure getting out in the fresh air and operating some machinery to get the job done. I’m pleased to see that although we are oceans apart, we are both having very wet times. Great job and content as always.
Very fine video enjoyable knowledgeable and great scenery thanks for sharing
Man you have like the best piece of property. Basicly my dream property. Always enjoyable videos. One of the few I actually wait for
Truly enjoyed this one.
Excellent work, great editing. Thank you for another great video. Jim in Oregon
Farmcraft 101 is the only channel I don’t skip through parts of the video. I’ve just finished watching CEE’s vid of part 948 of rebuilding a crane and it was 45 minutes of repetitive welding that ought to have been a 10 minute video
I love Kurtis's videos.
@Monica72215
Exaggeration promotes understanding
The project you are complaining about is 17 episodes,
of which there are 2 episodes where Kurtis welds
Nice work John ,looks like it should work out great..
Another awesome video Jon.
Short pipes and big stones = more cleaning and rebuild videos to come. I like that ;)
Great job!
Ya got a nice property Jon. Hard work but sure satisfying isnt it? Thanks for taking us along.
Nice piece of land and a nice lifestyle you have, well done. Sounds like a video soon on replacing noisy bucket pins and bushes maybe heading our way, as always an interesting video, thanks for sharing.
thank you for sharing. Well done.
Oh man! A full hour of “THA CLAW!!”
Im so excited.
