@jackmcdonald4963 Ай бұрын

Nathan, the culvert is deforming because the pipe wall is not adequately supported by the bedding and backfill you used. When you load the top of the pipe, the pipe deflects from a circular shape to an oval or ellipse shape since the backfill gives way a little like jelly. I would suggest you dig the culvert back out and then build a solid bottom in your trench using crusher run gravel. Then re-set the culvert and backfill it with crusher run being careful to bring the backfill up uniformly on each side of the pipe. Make sure that you compact the stone well as you go. Once the pipe is fully encased in properly compacted backfill, you shouldn’t experience future pipe deformation.

@joebrunette5594 Ай бұрын

No, the pipe is not strong enough for the equipment weight. Pipe like that is meant to be under concrete for weight on it.

@markpashia7067 29 күн бұрын

@@joebrunette5594 Not so but it does need dry, compact material all around it to support it. Usually dry clay soil or gravel. Like the first poster said crusher run would be good, but even then you use the dirt to temporarily dam the water flow, dig til you are out of mud and then add back in dry material under, beside, and on top of the culvert. Then release the water by removing your temp dam. Most folks have all supplies ready and work fast until done. With that there is no wait time. See some Letsdig18 or DirtPerfect videos here on KZfaq. Couple of the best pros around, one in N Carolina and the other in Indiana. Letting the water run through while working just makes mud that won't support the pipe properly.

@2naturesownplace Ай бұрын

@Nathan. My experience...dig the creek mud back out. Lay some of that rip rap on the sides of the culvert til even with the top. Then slat across the top followed by the creek mud. Bonus Atta Bhoys if you cut out some 4 by 10s and make a loggers bridge over the top.

We have creek going through our property. We needed a way to cross the creek with our tractor and RTV. Our excavator friend recommended putting in low water crossings. He did it in just a few hours. He dug out the creek bed a bit and made a smooth transition from side to side. Then he lined it with first big rocks and then much smaller rocks and packed it in with a track loader. Actually, he did all the work with his track loader. We've had the crossings for two years now and they have lasted well. They work very well. The water flows across them and we can drive across except when the water levels are very high.

@mrbilky Ай бұрын

Just a thought have your tracks parallel to the ditch that buck really likes to be straight into the ditch then you can just nudge up a few feet and continue down the line as you progress but like you I'm no expert!

@cliffordrode1296 Ай бұрын

Nice job! Your first buddy is correct, just dress it up and let it dry out and it will hold anything you drive across it. I have put in many just like you did on my farm here in WV with no rock and run much heavier equipment across with no issues. The only suggestion I would make for any future ones would be to install a longer pipe, the extra width makes a much more forgiving road. Keep up the great work neighbor!

@donaldblackburn4836 Ай бұрын

Mud won't compact. Find somewhere on your property that has some good clay and make a little borrow pit. If you will pack it as you go in "lifts" it will hold together better. You can let the dirt you removed from the creek bed dry and use it later or use it to fill your borrow pit back in. You are doing the best thing there is to learn the skills, and that is just getting out there and doing it.

In case you are interested in some manufacturing history of that Minneapolis Molene, the original manufacturer of that tractor design was Cletrac, it was the only "wheeled" tractor they made, they called it "The General". BF Avery had that tractor painted red, sold it as a BF Avery and developed attachments call "True Draft" equipment. There are 3 videos on KZfaq of old factory film strips on how to sell these tractors. Montgomery Wards sold this same line under the name "Twin Row". My Grandfather's first tractor was a 1943 BF Avery, my Dad bought that tractor in 1950 and was the first tractor I drove in 1958. I bought a similar "Twin Row" in 1978 but sold all in 2005. Still have the "Twin Row" sales brochure from the 40's, $680.00 with battery, starter and lights but no hydraulics, in the 40's it was only lever lift with added helper springs.

@coryheckler2354 Ай бұрын

Nathan, you did a professional amateur job. Tip: always park your excavator where you tracks are parallel with trench so you can move parallel without repositioning. Just move side to side. Check your reach then transition your tracks parallel. Same as you realign the trench/ditch to maintain a straight dig. Just FYI my friend.

2"or sheall (slate rock) would do wonders to the top of your culvert crossing. Might also think about cleaning out the ditch line for better water flow and ascetics. It would look much better and you could use the dirt to fill in the stump holes from all the trees you have removed. Looking good tho keep at it, it will come around.

@martineastburn3679 Ай бұрын

Doing really well on the low hour usage of the machine and man hands driving it. Cool. If cleaning up the long creek - I'd straddle the creek with the small bucket and dig and drive forward. (Harder to work backward when creek is crooked.) Fabric road grade - and 2" mixed with 1" would be great. Limestone if possible as it will crack and melt into each other. Great under dressing.

Well, I think your 'one shot to get it right' worked out pretty well. You nailed a couple of 'firsts' on this job Nathan. However yo do still have some problems with the bedding in of your new pipe & it will not last with the backfill you used. I thought that the rocks you picked up you were going to use to surround the pipe. Jack McDonald set it out well in his explanation below. I would take his advice which is what I would have given. Cheers mate & good luck with the reset. Don from South Australia.

@moms762 Ай бұрын

Sorry nathan but you may already have a problem. I didn't see much clay go in there to be packed in and around the culvert. When that Top Soil gets a good soak, it's likely to wash out and get real mushy. Top soil does NOT compact like clay.

@fernandj.michaud7454 Ай бұрын

You should backfill culvert pipe like that with crushed stone on each side 2/3 of the way up which they call the spring line. Makes the pipe real stable and stronger to cross over with equipment. Using muddy dirt like that doesn’t give the sides any support and will cause it to squash . Personally I should have used a longer pipe, 10’ just not long enough once you set it down in the ground and backfill sloping the ends down to keep the ends of pipe nice and open .

I think you're supposed to run the excavator with the tracks parallel to the ditch, so that your bucket is always perpendicular to the work. Facing the ditch head-on requires you to keep moving the excavator back and forth. If you were working from the side you could just drive down the whole length while digging it out. You could make a corduroy road over the muddy culvert fill with some spare small logs. You don't have any logs, do you?

This is about half as big as your fist and is used a lot for wet spots here in Georgia. And there is number 3 stone too, which is about the size of your fist, or the smaller rocks in the Rip Rap you bought. Even the slate y'all use up there would be pretty good for that application. Use the mini-ex and straighten out the dirt again, of course before putting any of it over the pipe. Good luck buddy. And I still enjoy watching your videos. I may repeat this on the Face Book page.

The textile and 2” stone is the way to go. We put piling mats down in the same way and they take much more load than a tractor or excavator

From someone that moves dirt around daily as my job. You did a decent job at installing the pipe. Good choice of pipe as well. I've seen better, but I've also seen much, much worse of a job done on installing culvert pipe like that. Use the dirt you used in front of the kiln to put over the pipe. Make it a few inches higher than you think it should be so it will settle down and compact nicely. 👍

to bad you dont have a steel plate to lay across there,,thats what they use on the back roads here,,,covering big holes,,it works good,,course you could get to small ones,only where your tires go over it,then fill the middle...i watch them pick those plates up,,they got a hole right in the middle of them,they stick a chain in that hole and pick strait up..perfect balance..i think there only half inch thick.you didnt do a bad job on that Nathan,,but that dirt is mud,it wont hold weight..you got to have something solid..for a tractor..
