Was hand digging a post hole for the new mailbox. Right by the road the soil is super rocky. I thought to myself that the turbo may dig quicker and boy was I right!
3 foot hole in about a minute on the trigger. Yes I know I’m wearing sandals. Yes I know this is hard on turbo nozzles. It’s Saturday and my honeydo list is long and summer is not.
“Water Excavating”
Can’t teach that kind of redneck ingenuity.
My local Hotsy dealer sells a “turbo” just for this. It looks much different than the standard one and they say it works like a charm. In the oilfield we just used hydrovaccuum trucks.
Seen guys burying lawn irrigation lines with a wand.
My dad is working on a wind farm right now and that’s what he’s running.
This should be in the real men of genius thread 
Forgot all about that thread!
Ripsaw rotating nozzle is designed for digging holes. Some of their videos on youtube are impressive
I just looked it up. Pretty neat. For as little as I’ll need to dig holes I won’t spend the money. But I’ll definitely be buying a sludge pump now!
I think the Ripsaw is what I was talking about. It has a weird skirt looking thing and I think it’s blue.
Nevermind. I looked up the Ripsaw. Similar but not the one I was thinking of.
I have no use for one, but pretty cool.
This pretty much how oil and gas wells are drilled. We just use a bit that has 3-6 jets and are rotating and pumping 750 gpm on surface holes. We were digging 150’/ hr when i got here last tuesday at 7000’ at 650 gpm/ 3500psi.
Low spot destroyer! You’ll wonder how you did without. Even filling up tanks on large jobs worth every penny.
I did this for some holes early this year too. Wand and shop vac lol. It was when I tweaked my back and wasn’t feeling digging anything.
When I was working refineries hydrovac was the only option for digging holes. The refinery sure was so old no one trusted the drawings. One footing for a foot bridge took 19 test spots. Was ridiculous.
We have a hydro excavator on the vector truck at the road department. Its basicly a 12-15 gpm 6k psi turbo nozzle on a 1/2 line. It’s great for finding pipes before bringing in back hoes. Digs a 8 ft hole in about 4 min.
So after realizing how awesome digging a hole with a turbo nozzle is I decided to pair it with a new sludge pump from pressure tek. Now I can dig mess free holes in no time without breaking my back or renting a gas powered auger.
24 hours and I’ll have a flag in the air! We had one attached to the deck but it kept setting off my doorbell motion detector and alerting my phone…
Looks like you also buried a body. Ha
Blaire sassed off one too many times lol
