[QUOTE="mfyock, post: 24481, member: 2150"] I got about 125 feet of pipe laid. Got a mini excavator in. The mini excavator floats well in the nasty mud. We dug with a 12" wide bucket and I checked it as we went with the laer level. It was thick wet clay, I dont think a skidsteer trencher would have even made it though it. We hit two veins of shale. When we did the trench instantly flooded. We laid cloth down,about 3" of stone, then the pipe, with stone around and on top of it. Cloth inclosed all the stone. Pipe was about 2 to 2 1/2 feet down. Tons of water flowing out of the pipe, and from around the pipe through the stone. Area around the pipe is draining well, but some of the other areas arent draining well due to the heavy clay. It just doesnt allow the water to move well. [/QUOTE]
