I tapped an 8” pit cast pipe that was the supply line to the pump house to the irrigation system of a golf course in the western piedmont, NC this week . They wanted to be able draw down the water to the lake before a Hurricane in order to keep the overspill from washing out and eroding the dam of a 15 acre lake . I thought it was a really good investment being that we are in the hurricane alley on the east coast of the US . We had a dam in eastern Wake co that washed out during a hurricane maybe 5 years ago ?

Chris, I'm watching your workflow and thinking it is not that simple when it comes to choosing the right machine to use. I was originally wondering why you were not using the dozer instead of the skidsteer to make those lifts, but the skidsteer is faster, and with a big scoop of damp dirt, the skidsteer is close enough to the dozer's weight to make a good job of tracking in those lifts. I hope Justin comes along with his roller. I love seeing him on your channel.
