The legend says they are still there today. That was painful to watch, wrong equipment, no idea what they were doing and badly executed. It was almost like it was their first time dealing with water logged material.

Watching things get cleaned spotlessly by experts is one of the most satisfying types of videos out there. In that regard, viewing this video came completely without any form of satisfaction.

It is immensely satisfying to watch a video about a group of highly trained and hard working professionals, however this is not one of those.

The guy on the tractor was the worst laziest bastard going most frustrating video I’ve ever seen

Good lord, give me a teaspoon and I’ll have the Everglades drained faster.

hire the duck, he seems to be getting more done

At this rate they're going to be at it for the next 20 years.

I'm sure a couple of loaders or bulldozers pushing the mud to a central location would have been a faster way of doing this. Probably cheaper too...

Wherever this muck wound up and after all the chunks of metal and debris are removed the grass is the greenest it has ever been and the plants are glorious. Here in Arizona, USA we have a very extensive system of water canals. They are about thirty meters wide and are cleaned regularly. The material moved is mostly dirt and silt. It is trucked directly to the farmers who spread it on the fields. This is tough on fish living in them but great for the crops. The big canals bring our water from the Colorado River. That river is a three hour drive from Phoenix at a constant 75 miles per hour or around 230 miles away. It passes across desert 🌵 and during cleaning the sand is simply deposited aside the canal. It is up to 70 meters across. To get over the occasional mountain the siphon system is used. This was discovered by the Romans centuries ago and works here today.

It is amazing that the world over people always chuck shopping trolleys into canals. Even if there are no supermarkets for miles.

Bloke in the white tractor is about as much use as an ashtray on a motorbike...

You can tell that they work for the city no big hurry

Some vacuum tankers wild be far more efficient.

This is all for show, someone somewhere can say “look at us , see how much we did.” This is why most city’s hire contractors to handle big jobs. They are paid by the job not the hour.

watching this is torture, no wonder jobs like this cost so much, unbelievable

The Japanese would have had that done in ten minutes. Mega resource quick end time.

I agree with you guys. Even I know they got the wrong equipment. That smaller piece can work in my backyard. I know this can't be the USA.

I would have expected that in 28+ minutes they would have removed all the bikes, buggies and the bathtub but all they accomplished was to move some sludge around and that was all on the mini-excavator driver the white tractor was as useless as mirrors on a lawn mower. Perhaps he's the mayors nephew.

Dang hope you guys are alright after all that HARD WORK 😂😂

This video was a great pick-me-up. Haven't laughed so hard in a long time. These guys should slow it down a little!

This is how you take a 3 day job and turn it into 3 months of traffic inconvenience.

Mudlarking in a fresh emptied canal? Yes, PLEASE!!

They really need some decent sized skid steers. Would make their lives much easier

Day 1: hook up blade. Day 2: watch mini work. Day 3: devize a slow plan of attack.

In italy this job , clean canal, is done once every century years,and in many city if rain more on normal the rivers overflows.....

Wow, they must have unlimited time and money to spend on this

Thanks a lot for taping editing uploading and sharing.

Bravo, and best of luck!

Whole lotta nothin going on...

I'm guessing it will take about 100 years to complete... but, since it will have been filled in several times before completion, I'm not sure what this all means. There are many mysteries in life and this is one of them.

they should engage companies that clean out the reactors of biogas power plants. those silos end up with tons of sediment, same as that canal. those companies use suction excavators to get the stuff out and skidsteers to loosen it inside the silo.

God damn 2 wheel loader a d5 dozer and a decent sized excavatir and 2 days the job is done simple as that

interessante Aufnahmen :-) LG Ulli und Daumen hoch

Wow, misuse of equipment. How about creating an open end bund area for the grab. Then push the material into the bund and give him something to go at. Get a loader or two in and use these to push the material into the bund. The mini excavator should only be used to get into those hard to get to places. This would save time and money

Dozed off for about 15 minutes, what did I miss? Oh, nothing? WOW. Guess I'll go back to my nap.

So when do they start doing some sort of work?

The duck at 9:26 is getting more work done lol

Now this has to be the best job in the world. like when the hell do we even work?

Got the same work ethics as our road crews in the USA one guy works 8 guys supervised ha ha

what the hack are they doing?? Nothing makes sense It makes me wanna cry so unprofessional And I know they will be company's colours, but you don't paint a John Deere white !!

This is like watching paint dry.

That damn goose did more work that the men.

Water jets and sludge pumps would be faster, use the water from the canal on the other side of the lock, jet and pump the slurry into trucks to haul away. Dump into a drying basin or pump across screens to filter trash out. Use the dirt for fill, water collected through sand filtration and returned to the canal or let evaporate.

uhh what exactly was the purpose of the white tractor?

You can definately tell that the French work by the hour instead of the job. Any efficient company would have had put in 5 or 6 tractors and had several excavators and a fleet of dump trucks standing by.

I thought British workers were a lazy bunch of wasters but these guys sure have them beat , unbelievably unproductive.

Met kruiwagen en schep was het nog vlugger gegaan !

Нам бы так очистить речку Левинку, что под окнами домов протекает. Или уже не течёт из-за застоя грязи, мусора, растений (клены, ивняк)?

We can see the effectiveness of the town employees. Ion particular for the guy on the white tractor; This guy does not have a clue of what he has to do, so he stands up from his seat and sit back again and again ...... 51 times. very cost effectivefor the taxes payor. indeed ! A real sad joke.

Looks like the French muppet show

Damn good parking job at 17:50 -ish

3:08 small digger looks like he's gone for a paddle ! Wales UK .😍😍

Now you see why the cleanup is so expensive. They easily could've done the job in 1 week.

Get multiple loaders to do a side by side push, then put in into a pile so it can be grabbed and put into the truck and a vacuum truck to pick up the mud at the end

with a little thought and engineering I bet they could reduce the effort required. like plowing to the edge and loading into dump trucks from there

Looks like the white JD is acting as a backstop while the mini clears a path for the water to drain. Notice how he continual positions himself downstream from the mini.

What a backwards way to do this! Using a loader it could have been finished.

Guy in the white John Deere is worthless. Takes half of a day to hook up. Takes a break. Turns around and moves 7 meters. Takes a break. Move 7 more meters. Takes a break. Has done zero actual work. He might be from the U.S.A.’s FBI or Congress, they both just stir things up and rarely clean things up.

This is a Union in action

Watching the guy hook up the 3 point was painful

01 / 02 /2020 -- have they finished yet -- someone is making alot of money

Apparently after liberating Paris in ww2 we should have left a couple Iowa farm boys behind to show them how to operate a tractor ! How many times is he going to adjust his seat open and close the windows !

What work did the tractor driver do ?

They must be on overtime!

The birds do more work than the workers

I can’t help but wonder how anything gets done like this...we would have fired white tractor guy and put a crew in there with loaders and kept that excavator loading the trucks busy. I guess they don’t have hurricanes there.

I find it interesting, but, they seem to struggle to get started. Then, finally, the bucket begins to scoop, but The Video Image Distorts Badly all around the moving bucket, total mind ache, head ache to watch. But, later that distortion lets up. In the beginning, my thoughts, Taxpayers are paying for the project because nobody seems motivated to work. But, thanks for the upload, it is definitely interesting to watch.

that person operating that equipment in the beginning really needs to quit and go back to running a hand held shovel. he sure cant back up to that blade

Is that white tractor going to do anything? Oh I see the white one can’t move until all the big stuff removed

Смотреть только на скорости х2, и то мало, в идеале надо х4, а то слишком долгое видео.

안쪽에서 바가지로 긁어서 흙을 밖으로 빼야 시간도 적게 들고 효률적인데 저렇게 바가지로 하나씩 퍼서 나오면 언제 일이 끝나냐?

To clean the channel faster and better. You have to lower tippers to the channel 1 loader on rubber wheels 1 Bobcat. And on the street a crane and trucks to carry the dump trucks.

what a boring video! how much do they pay to drive a tractor! im really interested in that job!

tu as raison vue la rentabilités il doit y avoir anguille sous roche

Municipal employees are the same the world over.

Boy it sure didn't take that white tractor long to hook up to that blade. Is he a city worker from the accounting department???

The traktor driver has slept the day before .as he took of the sliding Shield !!!!!!!!!

The USA should sale them a Industrial Hoover Vacuum Pump to suck up the mudd. It would have paid for itself in no time.

Some serious editing skills required.

Andbthisbis why it costs so much to do the job the guy in the tractor didn't do nothing for at least 15 minutes wow incompetence

What is the person in the tractor doing, has he never drove one before? 🤣😂

เยี่ยมๆๆ ดีจังนะจ๊ะ เพือการระบายน้ำทีดี

21.50 in. You finally see the white tractor pretend to do something. These guys must be city workers

the little one reminds me of wall-e.

Seen more work done in a French estate agents! And I've never seen anything happen there either.

They need a lot more bigger plaint get this sorted.

I bet they’re still cleaning it…

Very Pain full to watch bloody tonker toy doing the work?? wears the loaders or skid steers? Tractor drivers as much use as a ripped tea bag he needs gone ASAP very long drawn out way of doing it typical French 😂

It's going to fill up sooner A bigger machine! I hope there is a garbage recovery boat next to agriculture

The white deere got me

ils travaillent quand ?

What a joke !!!!! With 2 skid steers and a good excavator I could do this in the time it took him to put on the blade

I'm guessing these boys are paid by the hour. Talk about milking it.

They couldn't get SMALLER equipment 🤣

I wonder how many shopping trolleys they pulled out?

Time lapse would be good!

See in the next video what happens to rubber tractor tyres when they go over several wine bottles... No wonder he didn't want to move..

I bet that stunk like hell !

Good job, guys

Great film of a tractor doing nothing.
