Some more of the dirt shifting.


The reach on this 336E model is nice.


Fighting over getting paid for removal items in the background.

This soil is very sandy, it passed as suitable backfill for the pipe.




Time to try and wrangle these shallow piles out.

Wrestling out the old pipe. Quite heavy when it is filled part way with dirt.

It has been a little while since I have updated this but we have been busy none the less over the past month.

Backfilling behind the box. This loader has just enough reach.


Hoe-pack away. We don't want fill this side up too much or the earth pressure might shift the boxes.

I really like this 336E, I just need to fix the teeth. I went ahead and fixed the hydraulic lines.

Hoe-pack just barely fits between the runs of boxes. Sometimes you just get lucky.

Nice job on the dio Ethan. Just curious about the box culverts. Are they made by 3D to Scale? Also, what are the actual dimensions of these box culverts? Thanks.

Yes they are by 3D to Scale. They are roughly 33mm x 44mm. I like them a lot they even snap together tightly

Ahh spoke too soon, wish the inspector would have decided to undercut before we blew in stone.


Little undercut.


200 tons of stone down in no time.
