Hey all, I love this job post section. thought i would share pics of my recent water tank unearth and move project.
No city water where i live. wells are crap. Hauled water is the best option in these parts. Original builder placed it next to a failed well right behind the house. total pain to drive around and it looked ugly!
Time to move! rented me a 2007 case 580 extendahoe 4WD 4 way bucket. 36" bucket and pilot controls to boot on the 12k hour hoe
made this job super easy....to a point
First pic. It was completely underground. it took some doing to get that boom to lift it. Would not budge with extendahoe out full. I should have gotten a little closer to it. The stick was the champ. lifted it no prob. yes I emptied the tank completely to lighten load
In order for the boom to get me the hight I had to lean the tank on the edge of the whole to take some of the weight off. worked like a charm
Success! shes a beauty
Getting this sucker to the front of the house was a chore! had to fill loader with dirt to keep it from tipping over as i backed it into the spot
Fun Project ..with that 36" bucket made it a breeze
