    You can just trigger the joystick to the let quickly an the fendt will change its direction no matter wether you’re going forwards or backward

    Here in North Dakota, USA, “consolidation” of sloughs would be a major, major no-no. Unless you go through a ton of paperwork with various government agencies to “mitigate” the wetland elsewhere. Meaning you have to create a new wetland in an approved location, acre for acre, with legal stuff attached to land title. Major headache. Now if you doing “maintenance” to clean existing drains, then it would be ok if you can prove the drain depth to the fussy government authorities.

    Mike, I have a question. Why not drag the mud in the opposite direction? ....🙂so that the mud displaces the water from the slough you are attempting to drain, and the water would flow in the direction you want.

    @olenilsen4660 Pƙed rokem +2

    10:55 - start at nothing, get moving - then slowly lover the plow. You need some momentum to figure out what youÂŽre really doing with things like these - you need to feel them out. Also, when you first get stuck, why would you try to just huck into the exact same load a second time? Try half the height, with a small amount of run-up. As far as the loss of traction and bottom in the last part - seriously wise decision to let that one go. Now - looking back - youÂŽve done a lot of the work, so an hour or two with an excavator would probably finish it up. Definately not worthless as far as I can see.

    The track hoes have finishing butt buckets I mean you're thinking about a track hoe with a you know a straight digging bucket but they also have attachments for track hose that have finishing buckets it means they can angle it they can pull the sides off and make it a a trough like veal but you also need really need a a level beam so you can make the trench fall and you don't need a lot of fall you know you have a quarter inch fall the whole way down and water is going to always take the easiest path so it don't have to be like a foot drop I mean obviously it would make up a foot in the long run but you don't have to start out with a huge drop at the beginning you just you can have a quarter inch every foot and by the time you got all the way out you might have a couple feet drop within you know I don't know three or four hundred yards there it looks like maybe I ain't sure how long it is really just kind of pointing to an area but anyway the point is that a track hoe has finishing buckets that actually angle so they can they can clean it up very nicely and not have to worry about getting stuck so bad especially if they wanted to bring Big Railroad tide planks which a lot of them use those when they're dealing with wet areas I've seen them going to swamps with these big planks that are attached together and they just move them around and stay on top of them so anyway that would work make a nicer job what you got going on there or the ground is going to freeze so at some point the ground's going to get hard enough to where it's not sloshy I mean if it gets cold where you're at I don't know where you're at but sooner or later that ground is going to get rock hard and you could drag off a lot on Frozen Ground so that's also an option too the water still be there but the ground will be frozen
