[QUOTE="John SD, post: 1334103, member: 14713"] Yep. I've even got a rock the size of a big van or small motorhome above ground that a guy can look at. God musta put it there. Right in the section line fence corner, this rock is part of the fence :lol: :lol: :lol: I should add that the team of D9's did not plow in the water line on their first pass through. They made 2 shallower passes with the subsoiler first before they socked it down the full 6'. HDPE is quite stiff stuff and requires some digging with a backhoe around tank locations for the finish work. The tools available to hot weld the pipe together are either electrically heated or with acetelyne torch. Heat,twist,and push. You got ONE shot at doing it right or you screw up the joint. My water line job was done 2 different years with 2 different contractors. One used the torch tool. The other had a generator in the pickup. 2nd guy had a huge modified track hoe with ripper mounted on it and a big Komatsu crawler in front. 2nd guy was kinda fancy, even brought a microwave along and used the generator to warm up lunch :lol2: :lol2: :lol2: [/QUOTE]
