Drain the swamp!! Digging some water ways with Lil' Dick

Is there a reason you ( while there ) wouldn't dig the trench deeper and put in a permanent drain other then cost? Leaving the wet end out of the ground to help and the other end in the deep ditch. Serious question not being a smart as s

Good music

I was just digging drainage with my EX60 this evening.

Where is the field located? St Joe County Indiana?

You talk too much rubbish Sir

The “little dick” works well, being a smaller unit it might not sink in as fast as the 220.
it sure makes short work of all the standing water, you mentioned the running drain 
from the sand, could that be used to water the crops planted on the farm? nice
video, you and your dad are very skilled operators!

New sub this morning and really like your channel !
I do ALOT of the same type of ditching as this job...
Will be checking out more videos soon.
Good luck with everything !

Does anyone know the approximate cost it would be to drain a swamp area?

I would imagine it's based on square footage or acreage. Thanks

Intro song starts play, my brain: "Is he gonna turn that excavator into a helicopter by twirling it at max speed?"

Sorry, not a big fan. America has a love affair with ditches, and then wonders why we flood all the time. Wetlands-swamps are a good thing. Learn about watersheds and you’ll know why. I get it, you’ll disagree.

I have about an acre and a half on my farm that is swampy. we are just starting to clear the bushes and "swamp growth. This has been very helpful in explaining how we can drop the water table and channel it to the ravine.

Hmm, this is so cool!
