Your work ethic is excellent and what you do is good for the soul. Those that haven't done anything like this for 12-14 hours will never understand. Stay strong Sir

Great job Devon. I fondly remember my days of having to break down those M-16's. Seems like a lifetime ago.

I went through Ft Jackson,during,the Cuban Missile crisis. And it was hot then. I remember the salt on our fatigues at the end of the day. They moved half the fort out in one night.

Nice job,made it look easy,just a couple minor interruptions.just keep on doing your thing and carry on.great video.be safe 😎😎😎👍👍👍

How I found it easier to hook my hoses up is when you shut the engine off wiggle the joy sticks back and forth to take the pressure off the fittings and I think your hoses will connect a lot easier. Give it a try.

Oh my. I did basic at Fort Jackson too. Needed college money and didn’t want my hardworking parents to pay for it. Became an accountant, retired at 45 as a corporate financial analyst and couldn’t be happier.

Hi Divan & it's is Randy and i like yours video is Cool & Thanks Divan & Friends Randy

Mother furking nature, that is! What's worse is machines are in bee attraction colors (yellow, red, orange). Nice job.

I love watching your videos, you do such neat work and make things look so professionally done. Be careful of the Wasp and Alligators as well as all Mother Nature Creatures. Keep up the good work.

Wow. You did a beautiful job!

Davin,there is a tool to help fitting hoses looks like a clamp,watch Andrew Camarata he uses them

Looks good Davin, wasps and a gator, that`s a pretty full day.

Great work as always, that brush cutter head was what that pond needed, looked amazing!

Thanks for your service! I also was at Jackson June/ July. Thankful it was 8 weeks back then

Being in Lexington, SC during the heat wave of last week, I felt REALLY bad for the recruits training at Fort Jackson. The heat was absolutely miserable!

Thanks for sharing with us how you get set up for the days job. Always a good one, Davin

The alligator is chowing down on the turtles, frogs and fish! 🐊🐊🐊

Those Paper Wasps(Red and Black) build their nests😊 a lot I'm bushes near water..a lot of times you will find their nests in a button bush over water. Stay Safe..

You hit an underground nest.They are much more aggressive during the hot weather especially.

I am so glad you didn't get stung! All if those yellow/black flying stingers can kill me so I understand wanting to give them a very wide berth. Sorry about having to replace the entire a/c system on your U55.

YEAH!!! I also did Basic at Ft Jackson, SC from end of July thru Aug !! Hoah!! Heat cat 5!!! Full battle rattle baby!!!!

I remember you being chased by I think hornets. 3feet alligator mmm!!! Wait till its 10ft !!!!😉😁 Another good job though. Looks good.

Thank you for your service 🇺🇲

You did a great job....nice one matey.

Great video. Yellow jackets and some hornets are well-known for ground-nesting and they often choose abandoned rodent burrows or other natural cavities in the soil to build their nests. They enlarge these cavities and actually construct paper-like nests inside them, similar to what they do above-ground. What's more, they can be more aggressive than other species if their nest is disturbed. I learned this from the groundsman of the cemetary where my dad was buried because their nest was right next to his grave! Made visiting very challenging as they couldn't really justify disturbing the nest and I accepted that.

First time seeing you use this cutter, love it

I remember the last time you cut this pond Davin! I’m surprised you don’t hit more wasps nest with all the grassy fields that you cut! Try bush hogging on a no cab tractor! No protection at all! If you get stung, take a little bit of cigarette or pipe tobacco, wet it with spit or a little water and slap it on the sting area! Kills the pain pretty quick my friend! Just an old time remedy from the old Cajun people and it works really well! Helps stop the swelling too a little bit!

You're right about Columbia being hot. I'm from The Upstate of SC, and my sister went to USC. She refers to Columbia as "the armpit of the South." 😄 This is the first time that I've ever seen a paper wasp nest in the grass, too. Usually they build their nests in the trees. I HAVE had an encounter with yellow jackets that had burrowed in the ground. (That was NOT fun.) Great job though!

I saw a guy on u-tube that took a couple of grip-it clamps and cut the jaws so they fit on the hidrolic fittings to make it easier to connect attachments to your heavy equipment 😊

Keep yourself a couple of those grip clamps in your truck for the hydraulic hoses. It’s very helpful.

Nice job davin, beautiful transformation and you got the sound track, back in the description, by the way the soundtrack fits perfectly, play it loud enough maybe it'll calm the wasps

Looks great Devin

Thanks for sharing the hookup process. Glad you had that machine so you didn't have to deal with wasps ... as much lol

Ft. Jackson is extremely hot! After which I took my Infantry Training at Ft. Polk, Louisiana and it was hot there, too!

It would be nice if someone finally invented better hydraulic hose connectors... that has been the same design for decades and decades and it's sad people have to struggle with the same problems.

A/C is a lifesaver accessory for me.

Thanks for sharing brother, guess the alligator won’t have any cover when he wants to lay on the bank and catch some rays! 🐊😎😎🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🐊🐊🐝🐝🐝 stay safe brother 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🙋🏼✌🏻✌🏻💯💯💯

Afternoon Daven. Looks likwe those hoses gave you a bit of a fight. The wasps were not too happy but glad you had us inside with you and not out in the heat🙂and since when does South carolina get gators?? Know they are in florida, just all over the place, but never heard of one being in South Garolina..

I ignore the red wasps and mud dobers but the yellow jackets are just mean. I don’t mind spraying them and what’s there wings melt. Stay strong and spray away

Hello and greetings from Austria (Tyrol), I'd love to watch your videos, I think it's totally cool! 😉

Get you one of those screw in the ground umbrellas like they use at the beach… for your GoPro. It works pretty well.

Nice looking job!

That's why I love my A/C cab

My grandpa was a dozer operator. He always had starting fluid in the cab but not for the obvious reason. This stuff would take down any flying insect instantly.

I have been stung 4 times this year so far by ground wasps, bought me a Beekeepers suit lol

Great job dude

Is that your excavator Davin, back from the repair shop? Hopefully they fixed the AC brother! That glass kicks up some heat! Oh WOW, I thought the machine was yours, well they can’t last forever without repairs! 👌🏻👍🏻👍🏻

You are really entertaining!

Beau travail bravo 👍

Great job glad you didn't get stung.I was stung really bad when I was very young. Needless to say, I hate bees. Mainly wasps and bumble bees. I don't normally mind honey bees. Thanks for the video. See you later.

You need to change the hydraulic hose on the digger connecting to the attachment

My dad dug up a ground nest one time with the cable front shovel. He thought it was a bumble bee nest (if I remember correctly). And I remember him saying the bees were mad and swarming the bucket of the machine. I wish I was there when he dug up the nest. But I hate bees/wasps and part of me is glad I wasn't there. With my luck, I would have been stung.

Great job dude 👏 👍 👌

Thanks for showing how you get those attachments on I've always wondered about that

Good job and video Brother

Nice video Davin.

Thank you for not getting stung.😂😂😂

Ya, You're BUSY!!! U Always put in 100% 😁

I dance to the hornet waltz as well 😂😂😂

Hello from another "Tank Hill" Alumnus!!

Nice job

@idigit4 you need to get you one of those Irwin hydraulic connector clamps definitely a game changer

Nice Vid!

Is there pressure that could be released before you attach hoses?

Those hose sleeves are a PITA… I have to use vice grip just below free hose coupling and grunt… not as strong as the Digmeister!

nicely mulched 😂😂❤❤

I'm surprised you didn't see any snakes!

Information: if you want to call that alligator, start by putting the inside curve between your thumb and index finger and put it to your mouth making a loud sucking sound and that alligator will turn around and come to that sound!! They think it’s baby alligators!! It works real well

I'd love to b out there doin what you do! I tryin to get a excavator biz goin but it's not goin very well with only makin 500$ since I've been payin for it for 7 months. Great vid!!! Thanks

Time to carry wasp spray on machines for your protection.

Nice and not as loud as mulchi

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Be safe 👍

Well, you can’t be bit by a snake in that cab!!

Always enjoy watching new subscriber have a question. Is your cab air condition I suppose so otherwise you'd be dying in that hot little box?

I guess you don't go to church on Sunday if you're working on Sunday

Man i wish i had a machine like that!! The wasps have been the worst i have ever seen them! Ive been stung once already, found 3 nests in my garden when i have never had any before! Im freaking out cuz i want to use my garden!

As you well know, that air conditioners is worth every dime. Make that Kubota pay out!

enjoying what you do is a career not a job.

Welcome Home, home many Tour did you do

❤

It's Mowzilla

Wish you could grub out that little bit to the left out of the Pond. It's only going to get bigger in time...

Probably Yellow Jackets nest in the ground.

That alligator is probably done. Made him a hole in the bank of that pond for him to hibernate during the winter so he going to live right there. They build their holes when they're little or den

You could be at Fort Huachuca AZ.

I'd leave the go pro to the hornets. Just go leave it filming in the wrong direction. We'll understand why we don't have the time lapse for a bit. Personally, I prefer the cab view anyways.

great job except for the cuttings in the pond

Hard start sounds like needs filter changed and lines blown out bet you got some gel inside somewhere

How long do the rubber tracks generally last on the mini excavator machine @IDigit4?

Hornets?

Fort Lee was a mess,back in the OD Green Day’s.

You're protected from wasps by your cab aren't you? Do you have air in it I hope?

wait until you hit a africanized bee nest...

Lol yeah how did that degree help? 😅😂😅😂😅😂😅😂😅😂😅😂

Hahaha FU I live in Columbia , but I more than understand .

😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱 🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝

Not ground bees. 😂 They're called hornets.

I clean retention ponds in Florida and when a gator swims towards you, you know that the homeowners have fed it chicken! All that protein makes him big and strong. Stay away and don’t walk your dog around the pond. A non fed gator will always swim away from you.
