This Tractor is TRANSFORMED! Replacing a Worn Out Busted Culvert Pipe
What happens here
The project begins with an overview of the problem: an existing 8-inch corrugated pipe under the road is insufficient, causing water to back up and run over the road due to increased water flow from cleared land upstream. The goal is to replace this small pipe with a much larger 24-inch heavy-duty steel pipe. The necessary equipment includes a John Deere 5065 tractor equipped with a Woods BH100 Groundbreaker backhoe attachment, and a front-end loader. A 12-inch corrugated pipe, previously used for a pond spillway, is also mentioned as a comparison.
Goal: Understand the drainage problem and prepare the necessary machinery and materials for replacement.
