    Wow!! Remote control compactor!!! I'm learning so much technique and just admiring the skill level at the controls. But as an owner of a Case 580e I would love some more maintenance vids... ok, Wish List done. Gee the Volvo is super smooth with your "soft hands" Chris. Great job of showing us your workday. Thanks

    My husband said he would love to be able to work with you on a job with two escivators. You are the reason he started using them. And to be honest you have played a roll in my husband staying sober. So @letsdig18 I would like to say thank you for being a great influence for him.

    i enjoyed your video. i work for a grading company out of sc but live in nc. done work in both...i know it might sound silly but where is your ladder..? ive laid some pipe not my favorite thing but my foremen are religious about a ladder if the trench is over your shoulders. also i was curious if that varies by where you work? thanks in advance for any feedback.

  • @keithbrettell2058
    @keithbrettell2058 Před 7 lety +5

    It looks like they came in there with some kind of sod removing machine so they could reuse the sod instead of just lettin' you drive across the green and dig a big trench to remove the pipe.

    • @letsdig18
      @letsdig18  Před 7 lety +9

    I even hate to look at that old terracotta pipe that has been pressurized. Looking at it will break it. Just have to be extremely careful around it with equipment. There was some older kind of pipe even worse. Kind of a fiber type. I forget what it's called.

    • @leebarnes655
      @leebarnes655 Před 7 lety +1

      Orangeburg. Will squat right down with the soil and has no strength at all. It's just tar soaked fibers, round when you put it in, but not round for long. Even as I put it in as a teenager I was asking why are we using this junk? Some plastic would last longer and better. Uh huh. I would be the one to dig it back up and put in plastic. As suggested in the first place mind you. Oh no, let's do the job two and three times over before it's done right.

    • @super6954
      @super6954 Před 7 lety +2

      My guess is he's asking because he's trying to make chris look bad not moving a full bucket every time. If chris is doing it this way there is a reason. Some of it's finish grading for the pipe, and maybe he don't want the trench full of loose dirt and they can get better compaction when back filling, Who wants a sunken trench or raised bits in the middle of a golf course when it settles. It would sure make me mad if it was affecting the roll of a ball when it should of been flat. They went to the trouble of cutting the turf out nice, they want it done right not cheap and quick.
