Great idea! Next time i ask the wife if we can get a mini digger to dig culverts, I'll show her this! Hopefully it won't be 'ooh, but we live in a 12th floor apartment' all over again.

Once again Marty, a very enjoyable video. I really enjoyed the start when your son followed you in his little quad bike and you talked to him about the job. I have 2 sons, both now grown but when they were young I always tried to get them involved in anything I was doing, even if it was just scoring a line along a straight edge in preparation for cutting a piece of wood. They were always willing to help.

I had the pleasure of living next door to an old gentleman who while retired, would make wooden toys and children’s table and chair sets for charity. My eldest son who was only 2-3 years old would go over the neighbour’s house when he was making the toys and tables. This gentleman loved my son. He would actually give him little jobs he was capable of doing. He was so very patient and my son loved every minute of it. A very fond memory from my eldest son’s childhood.

From my experience, extra nice pipe for a culvert. The TB217R made that job look easy. Where I live that job would have taken 20 workers, 10 machines, 3 weeks, after the permitting taking an additional 3 years with a Civil Engineer's sign off on the "plans" and a formal 500 page environmental impact study (may or may not be an exaggeration).

Project for a future video - putting electric start on your son's quad. Poor little guy isn't big enough to yank the pull start so make it easy on him. He'll enjoy turning a key and taking off. Many years from now he will still be talking about how you improved the quad for him. 😊

Careful with using the side slide on these machines. The hydraulics cool down pretty quick. That can cause havoc with the valves. Best to go hell for leather and keep them warm. When you get the cold HF in the pump it really strains it. Sometimes they can even lock the ignition. Handy hint: Always check for that bastard of a stone that is keeping the side swipe depressed.

It won't be long by the look of the young bloke. He's growing like a weed, and keen to be involved 👍. I guarantee he is regularly sitting on the machines, playing with the controls he can reach. He'll be hassling Marty before too long to let him have a go for real. And Marty will let him (somewhere a bit less critical than this), like a good dad should.

Hey Marty, awesome job and video! You should contact Takeuchi so they can share this video as promotional material. Watching this, I want one!! About 13 years ago, I picked up an old Bobcat skid steer for what it would have cost me to have a job done. Some of the best money I ever spent. In that same vein, I need to seriously look for a mini excavator.

The blade on those mini excavators are made so you can use them to level yourself up when digging on uneven ground, that being said you could have straddled the trench with your track tips on one side and the blade supporting you on the other side to finish digging the trench just use the arm to support your self getting into position, granted it is more of an experienced move but I believe you probably got the know how to pull it off 😁👍

I learned a great trick for starting the chain saw/2 stroke anything 4 stroke etc. This is really good for kids, pull the cord all the way out and let go, that will normally start the machine and I beleive it is the recommendedmeathod for starting chainsaws.... it also stops you jerking the machine towards you and less stress on the starting mechanism.
