You Won't BELIEVE THIS! Heavy Equipment Trenching Off Grid Farm Water System!
What happens here
The speaker details the next phase of the project, which is laying 1.25-inch black poly pipe. He needs 2,000 feet of pipe for this section, which is stored in large, heavy coils. He describes the difficulty of manually unrolling these coils (an hour and a half for a 500-foot roll) and plans to use his TYM T574 tractor with a modified pallet fork to simplify the unrolling process. The overall system will include a solar-powered well and a 1,500-gallon water tank for gravity-fed water, ensuring continuous supply even when the sun isn't shining.
Goal: Prepare for the installation of the poly pipe water lines.
