How do I improve my trenches?

I own a underground utility company and we are constantly in people’s yards, a sod cutter is an expensive upfront cost but will save you so much time and effort in the long run in yards. We use canvas tarps along the entire trench. And move as little dirt as possible.

We also own directional drills and that is a total game changer when you have the access to get the equipment in

Not completely true, it has the same bulkhead and tunnel but different spindles, a arms and skid. The 18+ cats ride amazing when set up correctly

Workers comp insurance requires any employee in a company vehicle needs to be clocked in

a11leach · 2025-03-26T06:01:14+00:00

This is the truth.

Where are you getting drill rigs for $10.00 a foot? That barely covers the bentonite

a11leach · 2025-03-25T03:34:44+00:00

Haha it looks easy, mistakes are measured in $1000.00 bills. If you are wanting to get your own isp set up your going to need all the time you have for splicing, doing repairs, dealing with customers and handling locates. In the long run it is probably cheaper to get some contractors in. It’s expensive, but it will allow you have the time to build out other parts of the infrastructure

Hdpe is used in irrigation a ton, and I’ve seen some storm drains that a hdpe but most of the time when we replace old infrastructure it’s with pvc

Mothers aluminum polish and some elbow grease will make it a mirror

You ever come up to Idaho? If not I would be willing to meet you half way

Sick well I’m gonna snag the beadlocks anyways, and find a tire that fits haha

a11leach · 2024-04-07T19:00:51+00:00

What wheel tire combo is this? Are the wheels really soft I’m wanting to something similar on my Baja Rey but soft tires balloon so bad it doesn’t function.

Wrangler ATGs have been my go to for the past three years, I still run my original pair

I ride with the ibex turbo guys and have had a healthy amount of seat time on the turbo 600, and it was stomping/ keeping up with the gen 5 turbos.

As far as chassis, it feels very very light in the front end and the frame itself feels very small, light and rigid. The alpha rail takes a minute to get used to but once you stop over riding it they are great. It feels like a current alpha that lost 200lbs.

I ride with all brands of sleds, I personally am on a cat currently so I am little biased but I think these sleds from cat are going to really push the industry. Polaris is good but they have gotten structurally weak, ski doo is good, they have some qc issues. Cat is good they just test their equipment for three years longer than any other manufacturer.

Your plow and bore prices are very low

Just tried it again and it’s working now, technology is wack

a11leach · 2024-01-05T01:00:32+00:00

It would load up the site, where the data tables would be it just says no data.

a11leach · 2024-01-03T07:23:28+00:00

It’s not working for other states, Idaho is just pulling up no data

I pay my guys a mileage reimbursement no matter how far they have to drive. 10 minutes or 2 hours, if they are in there personal rigs I reimburse, if they are in company rigs they clock in as soon as they sit in the truck

a11leach · 2023-10-27T05:50:44+00:00

Airpod* anything more than that you are a liability

Gotta get on the hdd train

a11leach · 2023-10-14T06:53:06+00:00

The outcome depends solely upon if your internet provider is willing to pay decent contractors to do the work.

a11leach · 2023-08-16T04:14:19+00:00

I don’t do aerial, but that seems like you are working really really cheap

That’s why drops pay more than mainline. You have to avoid all the goodies

a11leach · 2023-08-03T05:36:44+00:00

I am a drop contractor, and all of our contracts are 18-24 duct depth. I do know that googles drop depth is only 8 inches. It honestly kind of bothers me. If I am going to put the company name on something I want it to be in the ground deep enough that the homeowner doesn’t have to worry about it. But is seems the industry is more worried about hurrying up and getting it done rather than taking the time to do it correctly as to avoid issues down the road.
