- Dredging a silted in ditch. At our Lowe's today and they have a drainage ditch that has about 18" of sediment backing it up. It has a concrete channel in the bottom of it that needs to be cleaned off and dressed up. I use the 260 to scrap it off and load the Pete, I hauled 4 loads of mud from this ditch. Once I get it graded out I need to smooth it out to reseed. I also have another ditch in the front of the property to clean out. Thanks for watching! #EliteEarthworks #Takeuchi #failingditch

Hey, I got mud in my eye man, gives new meaning to black out🙄😉😏. When you opened that double drain tubes up I couldn’t believe the amount of water that came out of them. If that smelled as bad as it looked I would think the enclosed cab would’ve been a nice feature on the excavator about then. Thanks for the ride along sir
Yeah there was a ton of water I was really surprised. Lol yeah I was glad to have a cab that day
Great job sir. Bless you both on the Anniversary 🎉
Thank you! I appreciate that!
Freaking awesome video Brandon, 100% better there was a lot of water backed up thanks for sharing 💪🇺🇲
Thanks man! I couldn’t believe how much water came out of those pipes lol
Looks like you hauled off some pretty good topsoil from that dredging.
Yeah it was some really nice stuff!
Many years ago when I drove truck we hauled wet sloppy stuff like that. We used burlap folded as a seal around the tailgate. Worked pretty good. That cleaned up very nice. Keep smilin
That’s a good idea. It was some sloppy stuff. Appreciate you watching
Unblocking that culvert was better than a Post10 video! 😂😂
Lol thanks! I couldn’t believe how much water came out of them
Remarkable! Just like you… I don’t remember it ever being concrete.
I was gonna say that the water was coming from Rib Crib and McAlisters air conditioning condensate… until you pulled the plug. Then it was apparent that you’d drained the mosquito nursery!
I bet a lot of that sediment came from construction and TRASH!
Goodness knows, I’d driven by there a hundred times and never realized that those culverts were that plugged up.
Hope you had a great time in KC? Surely MrsEE found a place to shop… I mean what’s a trip to KC without a little BBQ and shopping?
Our 48th anniversary is next week… I’ve about exhausted all my ideas for ways to celebrate… think I ought to go for popcorn and Net Flicks this year or surprise her with plane tickets to Florida for Thanksgiving? Probably ought to flip that coin soon!
Lol I think your right. I couldn’t believe how much water was backed up. It surprised me. We had a great time in KC! Lol yeah you better come up with something quick. Happy early anniversary to you guys
Happy 15th anniversary to you and Mrs elite
Thank you! I appreciate that!
Nice job.
Thank you!
That had to be some nasty smelling stuff coming out of the ditch. Hope you enjoy your trip to Kansas City! Congratulations on 15 years of marriage!
It was terrible very sour. Thank you! We had a great time!
Cleaning Ditches and smacking you know the thing! 😂😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣 that’s right
Happy anniversary you two!! 15 years is awesome.
Now that you cleared it back so far, it will be nicer to mow,,, once it dries out. Great bed for the seed to germinate in though. It should take to your retirement to need cleaning again,,,,, what were you thinking?? 😂😂. There’s no job security in that!! Haha.
Looks much better Brandon. I lika this very much! See how the next ditch goes.
I was having coffee on the deck and nearly crapped my pants this morning!! (Noooo, not because of old age,,,,,, ). The deck where I was sitting is about 5 ft off the ground. Up pops the head of one scarred up old Grizzly bear boar!! 6 ft from my feet. Not sure who was more scared! I jumped up, ran towards the bear (bad habit,,, don’t ever scare me, I swing first ask questions later 😂😂) to the rail and he was slipping and scraping his way over the retaining wall he ran into. All I saw from that point was his rump, he didn’t even look back!! I left a gate near there open so he got into the fenced area and must have been wandering around for an hour or so. Left it open because the bears should be hibernating by now! He was pretty skinny though. Often a Grizzly boar will den late trying to get a few extra calories from hunters gut piles etc. He was old enough, by his size, to know about that. Guys like him often don’t wake up in the spring. If a boar does 20+ years in the wild, they really are old.
The gate is shut tonight!! Haha. I doubt he will be back. If he is there’s one hot, very hot wire on top of the chain link at about 6.5ft. He really was large framed for this area. Would have been amazing to see him in the spring or a year or two ago. After that, I know my heart is good for a loonngg time now!! Heh heh. Sheesh,,,,,,.
Take care good sir!
Thank you! I appreciate that! Lol that’s probably if they wait that long. 🤣🤣 wow I would crap my pants too! What a day! Glad you didn’t have to fight a bear!
@@eliteearthworksllc - I ain’t fighting no bear! If it came to that I would run the other way,,,, he would never catch me because he would be slipping in my crap!!! Haha. I’m only brave to a point,,,,,,
Thanks again.
More great work! Happy Anniversary.
Thank you! I appreciate that!
I had noticed that the ditch had cleaned up last week, looks good there and Happy Anniversary also.
Thank you! It looks a lot different there now
Looks great!
Thank you!
Nice looking job.
Thank you!
Another great job. Brandon. Happy anniversary to you and Mrs. Elite. Hope that you have many more.
Thank you! I appreciate that!
Crazy how much water gushed out when you took that last scoop by the outlet pipe.
Y’all gonna visit the power and light district in KC? That city is so cool, so many things to do. I’ve got to get back there someday. Excellent bbq for sure!
Yeah I was surprised way more water than I expected lol! We didn’t make it by there but did have some nice bbq 😁
That concrete helped for quick grading but put extra wear on the bucket cutting edge.
That’s true but I wasn’t putting a ton of down pressure on it.
Nice work
Thank you!
Well now I know why your plan changed from where you intended to start. There was a lot of water backed up in the pipe coming from underneath the road at the intersection. You probably did someone a favor back upstream by clearing that blockage. That was a cool little job. Have fun and be safe on your trip to KC.
After I say water sitting in those pipes I was like I’ll start at the other end. I have no idea there was going to be that much water lol. Thank you we had a great time!
Happy anniversary. Be sure to get roses & chocolate for the lady. ;)
Thank you! I did 😁
@@eliteearthworksllc I should have mentioned chocolate covered strawberries. But then she would want to know what you are buying or have bought. Lmao.
Have a great ANNIVERSARY.
@@Drew6709 lol true! Thank you!
Very, very impressive! Beautiful job Brandon! The ditch looks so nice, straight, and precise! I made some popcorn on the stove and watched the video tonight. Great Saturday night entertainment! Thank you for sharing the video with us!
Thanks man! That sounds like a relaxing evening
@@eliteearthworksllc your welcome!
Thanks Brandon another great video. Take care of yourself and family nice work 👍❤️ it
Thank you! Appreciate you watching
I really enjoy videos like this , what an improvement , top work . 👍👍🇬🇧
Thank you! Appreciate you watching
Happy Anniversary to you and the boss lady!! Another great job brother!
Thank you! I appreciate that!
Now that was an impressive clean out
Thank you! I thought it was a big difference
Nice work, the smell-o-tube was working great!
Thanks! It was on my end 🤢🤣
Well, that is one awesome job Brandon, the ditch looks amazing.
Thank you! I appreciate that!
Hi Mr elite nice job. And you hit oil in that dich haha 😂 now the water well get out of there
🤣🤣 it sure looked like. Thanks!
Happy anniversary brother...make sure u take care of MoMA 😎
Thank you! Yes that is a must 😁
It's always fun to play in the mud
Yes it is 😁
Oh WOW look at it run......
I was surprised there was that much water too! Crazy
The first thing I thought on the first bucket of the dark, goopy mess, was "OMG the smell!" I hope the "rinse cycle" that you got when you opened up that other culvert took some of the smell away. Really enjoyed this one, except maybe for the "surfing in slop" part when you dumped that first load toward the camera! Happy anniversery to you and Mrs. EE!
It smelled terrible lol! That did help I was surprised how much water came out of this pipes too. Thank you! We had a great time!
Congratulations to you and Mrs Elite. Loved the camera splash when unloading. Lol lol I even jumped.
Thank you! Lol yeah I was hoping to get a good shot of it. I got an up close shot 🤣
@@eliteearthworksllc sure did
Goodmorning Brandon
Good morning
That looks like a muddy mess. Looking good now.👍👍
It definitely was nice and sloppy lol
WOW! We were shocked at that huge volume of water that came rushing out of those two pipes - and this was when you're in a dry spell! So, how much fun was it retrieving your GoPro out of that HUGE cow paddy, LOL?
I was too I couldn’t believe how water was backed up. I had mud to my elbow digging the camera out 🤣🤢
@@eliteearthworksllc - 😂😂😂
Well I wasn’t expecting “a river runs through it” amount of water. Wow, what did the other side look like?
I wasn’t either it surprised me. I’m not sure they go under ground for quite a ways
15:48 Those 2 people are probably the first two people to complain when that intersection would have flooded...and they should not have been dumb enough to follow close behind a truck with fluid coming from the gate.
Lol that is probably true. Got to love those people
Boy that had to be some stinky stuff ! Lol
It was 🤢😁
Happy Anniversary. Sloppy mess. Not much you could do with all the water in there.
Thank you! I was surprised there was that much in those pipes
Just asking do you know where all that water from the culvert comes from and HAPPY 15TH WEDDING ANNIVERSARY 👩❤️👨 to MR&MRS ELITE EARTHWORKS hope you guy's have a wonderful day on Thursday and I can't wait until I can say that.
I’m not exactly sure where those pipes come from but I think it’s under the street from that restaurant. Thank you! I really that we had a great time!
I imagine that smelled good.
Oh yes 🤣🤢
Here's mud in your eye... Hahahaha
🤣🤣 no kidding it’s everywhere
I think the critter at 14:20 (groundhog?) really appreciated having a clear path to run along 😀
I agree lol I didn’t see him at first
Have u ever watched hedblom on utube? That guy is the cats meow on a excavator.he has a tilt/rotator and all kinds of attachments for it. I keep waiting for him to pick up a broom and sweep at the end of the job. I love watching him but it’s very common over there
Yeah he is awesome with that machine. Like an artist at work.
Love the video.... what is the difference between dredging and grading?
Thank you! Dredging is when you are digging out mud or sediment and grading is more shaping of an area
@@eliteearthworksllc Thanks again for the clarification!
Was that a poor landscape to start with?
Looked like to they were going for the hidden concrete lined ditch look and it got overwhelmed by the lawn service blowing all the clippings into the ditch where they rotted down to new soil
I think it was. I don’t ever remember seeing this ditch cleaned out in the last 15 plus years. It’s been slitting in for awhile
I can smell that all the way over here …… yum 🤢😂😂
🤣🤣 I believe that
A lot better
Thank you!
I forgot to ask how dirty did your go pro get when you dumped that 1st load out and got the camera
I had mud to my elbow 🤢🤣
@@eliteearthworksllc I thought you would of had to go swimming 🏊♂️ for it 🤣
@@glynngrauer3962 I was worried I would have too 🤣
🇹🇷
Breaking a beaver dam?
It seemed like it lol
You got us all muddy🤨
Did the go pro make it
Lol yeah sorry about that put the camera a little too close
I did I had mud up to my elbow lol
