i see cars saying mechanic owned and maintained like its a good thing? I have been around auto-scene 40+ years, & worst maintained ever! i keep 4 beaters on the road for me to drive, many times I will get down to 1 or none before I do bare minimum to get back on the road, & wife has a pretty decent vehicle. but I am a body man, & mechanic, & work 2 jobs in 2 states, 7 days a week, & drive 600+ miles a week. in last 2 months I did more work to 1, than I did in last 12, its my primary & best gas mileage car, but I hope I am good for many months, still got to work on 3, but all are drivable at moment. also I need to find time to fix a duplicate to my good mileage car, so I have a good mileage backup car that would have me having 5 beaters on the road, & people will say buy new car, then I would have car payments,, everything I own is paid for, I paid home off last month, & I hate working on newer cars, even though I can. and with miles I drive, will run it out of warranty quick, and depreciate it fast, & lose more money in purchase than I paid for a few of my beaters, which technically owe me nothing.

If you ever get in a situation where you can't figure out where unwanted water is coming from, you can get some bright colored liquid concrete/mortar dye and spot dye several places then let it sit for a while then come back and see what direction the dye has bled from and you'll know for sure how to make accurate corrections.

Ive been doing drainage for 10 years now and i can say if you experience a lot of rain water flooding your property it would be wise to slope the sides of the open drain to negate the water from eroding the sides as much over the years. it also lets the grass grow which also acts as a bit of a filter as well as soaks up a lot of the rain.

Good job Matt, maybe put in some culverts under the driveway to keep the water going to where you want it. I had property that had a low spot so put in the sump pump in a pump barrel underground. Had a 2" drain pipe out to to end of the property which by that point went downhill. Had a 1" electric pvc pipe to the barn with power. The ground within a couple weeks was good for our horses

Hello; Here's an idea for you. When the area is dry enough find a area you will never have plans for and dig a big hole, fill it with big rocks then smaller ones to make a space for all that water to drain into. Put in at least one culvert to cross the road and your problems will be a lot less. Find some FREE "rocky" fill to put in the low spots then come in with top soil. Sounds easy anyway. It's just a idea. Good luck and keep us posted. Be safe and well.

It's amazing what a man with skill and some equipment can achieve. My 2WD tractor with turf tires and box blade would have turned tail and run! Looking forward to seeing Christine finish that all off.

Looks good for grading mud!!. One of your other videos made me think of my boys. If you gave the older one a shovel and asked him to clean out the paths in my free form raised garden beds, I soon had a hole about halfway to China. Younger brother, same shovel and instructions, he was soon doing better than I did! He worked for several years for a local excavator. Boss was frequently impressed with how he could carry a grade. First time on a dozer, he started sliding on a pile of loose dirt, and the boss was sure he was going to roll it. He turned up the pile and climbed up to the top and came down straight. No problem. No rolled dozer. No squashed kid. Enough bragging about my brat. You say you're not good enough to eliminate all the puddles without a lazer, but you still remind me of my younger boy.

The forests i work are usually quite flat and wet. So we have ditches along all the main roads, that makes a low spot for the water to go - big job making them and some maintenece. But you get a drier forest and better quailty. Our ditch digger, have this riangle bucket for digger ditches - works wonders. Nice video, keep it up.

Hi Matt...as a retired road construction worker might I suggest about your problem [ to get rid of slop ] is to dig a pit with a ditch leading to it, push the slop into the ditch and let it flow there, and it will dry out the whole area given a few days. We did this when preparing a firm base for pipes [ 6 ft diam.] through creek beds...just a thought and I hope it helps...Gazza..final is to fill in the pit.

Just finished doing the same thing with a box plow set on an angle to open up the drainage on the low side of the lane. Gonna try a pipe chained to the bottom of the front end loader and see if it works as good. Thanks for the idea!

Maybe you could get the land surveyed and then dig a lil retention pond in wherever the ideal spot is. Then u could dig ditches that drain into it. And maybe a small culvert or 2 under that nice driveway you laid down that leads to the ditches . Awesome work dude. I learn a lot on here✌

I also have a lot of ditches and I maintain mine way faster. You have to plan your attack for when the dirt is just about dried but not dry. Then just run the tractor tire up the ditch. Done in five minutes. I like using the backhoe because you cannot get a backhoe stuck.

Where I attend church, the church and the property sits in a low area, what we ended up doing was in the field we dug a deep deep deep hole 30 foot by 30 foot, put winch of rock and gravel in it then covered it up. Now when it rains it seeps down in to the field quite well.
