It's great to see neighbors helping neighbors. That's what builds real community, and community is something we desperately need these days.

How you avoid getting mud all over when you clean your skid steer is have your wife do it for you. 😁 Nice to have helping neighbors and to be able to repay/help them when the need arises.

How cool is that? Back in the 70's, I bought a few 25-foot lots to rent for trailers. I had to dig water and sewer lines by hand to connect to the main pipes in the alley. That was in northern Minnesota where the frost line can go to four feet. The alley lines were six feet down and the soil was clay and softball sized rocks. I don't know if your trencher will go that deep, but I would have given anything to have something like it to at least accomplish part of the task! Most of it needed to be loosened with a pick, and even then, it was hard to stick a shovel in it. That memory alone gives me great respect for the value and convenience that trencher can provide. Great video!

Running into sandstone brings back bad memories. My dad and grandfather used to collect us boys with sledge hammers and iron pikes. Took us from 3pm until midnight (using light from a 55 Chevy pick up). They did not think anything of it. We felt it for a week.

One thing I noticed that will help prolong you generator … I mean Pressure Washer. Don’t let it run for more than about 30 seconds without water running through it. In other words… always have that trigger pulled when its on if at all possible. They make an unloaded that will dump into a tank… or on the ground, if the trigger is released. But , using a stock PW that water heats up quick and will burn your pump out pronto. Learned the hard way myself

Pretty much all below grade work here in Northeast Ontario is done with excavator and bucket.Augers and trenchers pretty much stay in the shed.All rocks and boulders here on the canadian Shield.I have used trenchers in Southern ontario in good ground,they are awesome!

It’s quite a coincidence when you got stuck, a few days later goodworks tractor got his skid steer stuck too. His didn’t look as bad though. Glad you were able to get it out unharmed and are able to help your neighbor out.

I bet that they make an abrasion type cutting chain designed for rock, sand stone etc. instead of the dirt teeth. Probably cost a ton though. Great video on the trencher! 👍👍

When you figure out how to use a pressure washer without getting soaked PLEASE make a video on it. Thought I was going to be smart and put on rain jacket and pants. Yea I wasn’t wet from water I was soaked in sweat. Thanks for the video.

Nothing like having modern machinery to get things done. The only downside is the EMENSE EXPENSE of having it; then getting the customers to PAY for it. That "hard rock job" should be at least DOUBLE the estimated price. Your machinery got TOURTURED, like $150.°° an hour or $5.°° per foot should about cover it or YOU will later on. Never "work cheep" just always do a good job. Favor's are just empty promise's ( 99%of the time)-- that plus $4.50°° will buy you a good cup of coffee( been taught this valuable lesson 100s of times. Thank you Sir for the Excelent vidio and happy safe digging.

when I need to make a turn (curve) I kind of do it in incremental turns. I trench about 1 or 2 feet then lift up and reposition then do it again for a couple of feet. rinse and repeat until your turn is complete. you may have to take a trench shovel and clean it up. it works ok not perfect but, it beats having to dig by hand.👍

I was going to buy a trencher like this for my T870 until I found an old Ditch Witch trencher that only needed a new distributor and carb cleaning, after using both(I rented a skid steer trencher attachment once) I prefer the Ditch Witch for longer runs. It was tearing through roots and rocks with ease, pulling soccer ball sized chunks of rock out and not even slowing down for roots. I still want a skid steer attachment someday for smaller jobs though

@kipcudd7253 2 жыл бұрын

If you're gonna take on trenching jobs you need to get a chain with rock teeth and get rid of that stock chain. I worked for a oil field pit lining company and the boss got a trencher for our bobcat skid steerand the original chain didn't last through the first job, frac pit. Bobcat bought us out a rock blade and that thing went through about everything and lasted through the next 5 jobs. Most of these pits were about 600'x400' about 12-16' deep. We lined the pits with 40 mil thick plastic and dug the trenches all the way around the top edges of the pits to stuff the plastic in the trench and cover it up about 2-3 ft deep with a D3 dozer and another skid steer. Get a rock blade and it'll handle anything in your area.

I have a chinese knock off trencher on a ASV RT40 with only 13.3 GPM flow. Runs a bit slower than yours, but still gets the job done very nicely. Not as many rocks as yours, but more roots. It dows so well on roots, thinking I may try to cut a stump. I have a few that are ground down to the ground, but poking up after a couple years. The stump grinder is a workout, if this trencher can do some stump work, that'd be epic. ASIS. Ass Stays In Seat is always the goal. I'm running my chain much more vertical, going about 42" deep. I gave up figuring out how to mount the cumberbun thing, but really doesn't seem to need it. The cleanout is fairly good. Easier to go a bit deep, then just smooth out the bottom instead of trying to dig it out by hand. As configured, I can do about one foot per minute with my flow rate, and 42" deep. Very satisfied with only 13.3 GPM.

@rgd2598 2 жыл бұрын

I do believe you will need an excavator and hydraulic hammer attachment for that work. Although… I do remember Andrew Camarata buying an old trencher that looked like a huge skilsaw with diamond /carbide teeth… or something. I bet it was expensive when new.

If you use a mixed chain (Cup Cutter and shark) than rocks and big stones are broken. I had a similar problem with one of my customer.

Does the trencher have carbide teeth or just hardened steel? Don't think carbide does well against rock, but no expert here!

great show.. how much grease does it take to keep the chain tight? Might be a lot at ~$5/tube.
