thanks for that information. really helps a lot. this field is like 6ft deep so I'm fairly sure I wont dig that deep. hoping to just break the roots off under the stumps and then keep it mowed from here on out. this is a neighbors septic system not mine. doing this project for him.

@@daveknowshow You are a great man doing Sir Cheers 👍😉🍻

i may get me one of then rippers in the future.

so far no issues. no smells no signs of moisture. I know these lines are super deep. like 6ft deep. I wont be digging that far. gonna dig just enough to break off the roots. most of these trees are rather small.

hey Jeff ya know I never thought I needed a BH. heck I grew up with tractors that had no front end loader on them and we had to just get creative and get the job done! once grown I was afforded the opportunity to operate loaders on tractors and man it was life changing! then about 20 years ago I was afforded the opportunity to run a backhoe and I can tell you a tractor with out a backhoe is nearly as limited as a tractor with out a front end loader! sure if I simply could not afford a tractor with a loader and or BH then I would resort to old school tractors. if you can get a BH that is frame mount for your machine I say get it ASAP! so much is added to what can be done and its fun to. plus I love seeing the kids on the backhoe playing. their faces just light up! worth every penny! thanks for the kind words and comment. Dave

its actually my neighbors drain field but I was thinking about a food plot for the deer.

thank you glad to be here

thanks I'm liking it as well!

thank you this has been good fun for me! I love using the backhoe. very relaxing to just dig. Cheers!!!

@@daveknowshow 🍻😉👍

thanks I had a massive computer failure and been offline for a while. I did get on facebook through my phone but youtube is not connected to the phone. now to reload all my editing software and get things going again. been raining like crazy here. hope you are doing well.

@@daveknowshow I'm very happy to ear news from you Sir, computer crash is never fun, but YOU will pass trough like flying colors Sir Cheers 🍻👍😉

thats my thoughts as well. they just gonna get bigger so now is better than later.

I hope it goes well. so far no issues. the drain lines are very deep on this field and the trees are relatively small with only a few that have had longer tap roots.

I agree. I really appreciate you leaving your point of view on it. this will help others who come across the video to see its not simply Dave's opinion but the general rule based on others input. this trenching bucket is really nice. small enough to not leave a big foot print where not needed yet big enough to get the job done.

I dont own a stump grinder though and the back hoe is way more fun lol . ha ha thanks for the input.

yeah its been a crazy day, wet cloths wet floor, wet bedding. its been a mess of cleaning around here. her bladder is just out of control today. I'll work it out though. thanks for checking on me.

hmmm? interesting! I never heard that before. great information thanks for sharing it with us.

thanks for sharing the input. you are 100% right there is a risk there. especially on shallow drain fields. this specific one is very deep 8 plus feet deep in most places 6 ft every where else. the trencher bucket seems to cut the roots fairly well. so far its took every tree long before going deep enough that I was concerned. I would not do this on just any drain field though. I may still look into this copper Veg killer. maybe tractor supply will have that? your input here will help a lot of people who come across this video so thanks a lot for sharing your knowledge on this subject.

I will get the name of it and post. We can buy it at our local feed store here in Vancleave MS. We have used it on popcorn trees which are normally impossible to get rid of. Cut them close to the ground and put some juice on it. Wait two days and pull out. Never comes back.

@@retiredairforce5111 awesome thanks!

I agree you are right damage could occur if the roots are wrapped up in the line and the line is shallow. the good thing about this leach field is it is super deep! most are like 24 to 36 inches this thing is like over 6 ft deep some places is 8 ft deep and more. so I'm fairly sure the roots will break off long before they pull on the line and do any damage. plus this trenching bucket seems to cut the roots fairly easily. I been really impressed with it so far. I may try to order one of those rippers at some point. John said he would send me one if I just gave him my address. that was really nice of him. you guys have been so good to me here. its been very humbling. love you brother. really appreciate you leaving your thoughts on this. it will help others who want a second opinion and not simply Dave's opinion on this trees on drain field question. it was 102 yesterday according to my car temp gauge. it was hard to breath out there the air was thick!

thanks for sharing that information I know it will help others when they read this and see its not just my opinion but has solid facts behind it.

I like having second opinions. especially lately my mind has been a fog.

I'm being very careful but I also know they are deep. thanks for your input. helps me feel more secure that I'm on the right track.

I know what you mean I have luck like that myself sometimes. I plan to go slow and plus I know these lines are very deep like 6ft down. I was here when they buried the system. so far its been no issues. no signs or smells so that is a good thing. appreciate your input

I'm hanging in there. got a few videos I need to work on. just been busy with Mom she has had some added health issues lately. on top of dementia it makes for an eventful crazy day at times.

appreciate the input this will help folks in the future who find this video.

it buzz a little when the third function is pressed for the grapple yes. but does not buzz all the time. you may have low fluid causing cavitation check your fluid level. edit also mine the plastic vibrates and makes a rattle sound. when I put my hand on it then it stops.

I never seen that option but I imagine with a little creativity it could be done.

@@daveknowshow can you make a video on it 😅 or suggest a way for making it possible sir☺️

@@farmandtech my thoughts just off the top of my head would be an electro mechanical actuator that would move the three point lever up when you pressed the HST for reverse then return to position after the pedal is pressed to move forward again. I never gave it much thought because it becomes second nature to keep your hand on the three point control to do these operations manually. there are times you may not want the three point to raise when you reverse. most times when you are using a three point implement you should be at the ready to adjust it manually on the fly. you will want that control over automation for more precise results.

more likely at the front drive shaft. the roll pin likely broke off and the coupler slid to one side. look at my video on the front drive shaft of this kubota and you can see how they work. your C-47 MAY BE SIMILAR.

@@daveknowshow actually it was the fluid level. Thank you for your response.

my thoughts as well. so far no issues knock on wood! no smells or signs of moisture. most of the trees have shallow roots and the lines are deep.

my thoughts as well. this is a neighbors drain field not mine.
