You Won't BELIEVE THIS! Heavy Equipment Trenching Off Grid Farm Water System!
What happens here
The video concludes with the substantial progress made on the farm's water infrastructure project. Approximately 3,200 feet of trenches have been successfully dug across the farm using the GEHL RT210 skid loader with the Caterpillar trencher attachment. The corresponding poly pipe has been laid out, ready for burial and connection. The overall project, involving around 4,600 feet of pipe, represents a significant investment and a 'monumental undertaking' to establish a robust water supply for intensive grazing and various farm operations, including multiple tire water tanks and Mirafount frost-free waterers. The next video in the series will cover plumbing and installing the water lines and tanks.
Goal: Review the completed trenching and pipe laying, and outline the upcoming plumbing and installation phases.
