Bit off more than I could chew with this farm water project!
What happens here
The presenter uses a John Deere tractor fitted with a 'Woods BH100 Groundbreaker' backhoe attachment to continue digging and clear large rocks from the trench area. He meticulously scoops out rock after rock, ensuring the trench is deep enough (20-24 inches, below the 18-inch frost line) and clear of obstructions for the water line. This is crucial for preventing damage to the poly pipe and ensuring proper functioning of the water system, especially during freezing temperatures.
Goal: Excavate and remove large rocks from the trench using heavy machinery.
