Yeap there's nothing like a nice big hole to throw all your crap in over the years. I run into those all the time when working on farms.

I was once digging near a deep valley that had been somewhat filled in with the farm trash and crap and actually started digging up old 55 gallon drums of waste oil:eek: ... I covered that hole back up and found anther place to dig dirt:cool2

Oh yeah tires make great fill too.

Heard ya, Dirtman. I was probing around in a backyard years ago looking for the septic tank so I could just replace the line from the house to it...but it ended up being a little more entailed because the tank was an old Ford Fairlane with a pipe stuck in the passengers side window. The customer tried to make me leave it, but my conscience bothered me so I ended up pumping the car out and removing it. I called the honey wagon to make arrangements and when he asked how many gallons the tank was, I said it was a 6 passenger model.:) We howled over that one for a week afterwards.

They should have used a station wagon... More storage compacity. LOL

I tell you there's nothing better than redneck engineering. Once you think you have seen everything you will stumble apon something that will make you say "what they hell were they thinking?"

and to relate to your septic tank "substitution" I remember once I was around some guys who had been target practicing on some old oil tank, probably a 250 gallon one, when after about 500 bullet holes they decided that it would now make a great septic tank for his shop. Needless to say that's where it went and worked great when surrounded in 3' of stone.

Great pics (and vids im sure... haven't gotten there yet) Amazing job benching out the slope of trash.:notworthy:notworthy:notworthy I assume that's all going into a new hole or is it gonna be hauled out? Have you got any photos of your GPS screen?:usa:cool:


Talk about dirting up weird stuff. We were on a job last year this time that had a couple old (farm?) houses on it previously. Well I was cutting the junky topsoil and brick out of one section and my pan caught something big soild and all but stalled my tractor. Got out and saw a few scraps of steel, walked a little further and there was a metal object buried in the ground there. Well I had the other guy come over, and take a look, he tried to pop it loose with his tractor and couldnt either. Eventually the D8 dug it out. Turned out to be an old dump body flipped upside down and welded shut as some kind of make shift septic tank. A few hundred feet away we dug up a whole car.:eek::confused:


Thanks again for sharing hoeman!

I had a very good crusher loader operator who always said it doesnt take a rocket scientist to do my job. All I need to know is up, down, curl, dump, and throw it in between the steel. Weather its on a crusher, or into a truck

haha, they still haven't flipped it around. I remember when the old H-link cracked... or maybe it was a bushing I really don't remember:Banghead, but they replaced teh H-link with a new one... on backwards,:rolleyes: I'd have thought that they would have rectified that and the worn out bucket pin by now:beatsme
