Used Backhoe

Posts Tagged ‘hole’

People say illegals take jobs Americans refuse to do.

They ask, would Americans use hand shovels in the hot sun to dig a hole in the ground like the illegals do?

NO! Americans are smart enough to use a TRACTOR to dig a hole, with a sun shade over the operator’s seat. Americans don’t refuse to work, they just refuse to work STUPID.

But when the contractor wants to dig a hole, all he does is drive around to the parking lot where crowds of illegals stand around waiting for work. He doesn’t have to pay minimum wage to illegals, so he can set his own price. So he can ALWAYS undercut the guy with the backhoe by hiring a half dozen illegal with shovels to do the same job by hand cheaper.

Honest American workers are being put out of work by people who work stupider, because they’re doing it illegally.

What happens when the illegals get citizenship just for being here?

Can the contractor keep paying them below minimum wage?

Or does the backhoe operator suddenly become more affordable, when the contractor can’t just round up a dozen illegals cheaper?

Then all the former illegals go on welfare when they suddenly can’t find work anymore, thanks to the minimum wage laws.

But you can bet they’ll rush out and vote Democrat, because they heard the backhoe operator is a Republican.

Will Americans tolerate this legalized invasion of the USA from a foreign nation?

I’m interested in purchasing either one because I think it’d be cheaper than just hiring someone, but I don’t know which would be more efficient to get the job done. Can anyone explain how you use them?
I know several people that can do the job, i really want to know which is better for the job, the one with the flat bucket thing or the one with the scoop. This is a piece of equipement that will be used for many many other things on a large piece of property out in the middle of nowhere. I’ve done my research on the prices of them, I’m not worried about the price of the machinery. Thanks.

Don’t know much about mining but logically you drill a hole, plug dynamite in and backhoe into a conveyor. All this can be done by today’s remote control robot.

me and my buddy are digging a hole that is 8 inches deep, we need to do a 6′X10′ area, and a 2.5′X50′ area (future walkway and patio). unfortunately we cant get a backhoe up his steep backyard. so we have been doing it by hand and it is taking for ever bc his soil is very rocky and clay. we used a ditch digger for the ditch, and was hopping there was a machine like that for bigger holes, not just trenches. does one exist?

I have an 8×12 rectangular trampoline (about 3 1/2 feet high) and I want the jumping surface to be flush with the ground. I live in the tampa bay area of florida about 4 miles from the water. I plan on this being permanent, and safe. I am concerned with drainage. I dont want it to become a mosquito trap. so my sub-questions are:

Will I need to use railroad ties and/or other type of reinforcements to prevent cave-ins? Like a log cabin built inside a hole? Hopefully a simpler, cheaper solution is possible.

Is any extra drainage system needed or will it just soak in to the ground?

What is the best way to dig this, with a shovel and a lot of time? I cant afford a backhoe, and even if I could, there is no way to get large equipment in there.
Thanks

I need to dig a 16′ x16′x8′ hole (for the basement of the house I plan to build with my own two hands) in hard Alabama red clay. (if you’ve ever dug a hole in Alabama, you’ll know why I want to blow it out). Do you know where dynamite can be purchased in Northeast Alabama? Or do you know of any Alabama specific requirements? I’ve read the ATF’s website so I am set on Federal regulations.

Yes, I know I could use a backhoe or a tractor, but the ground still needs to be loosened up.
