It covers routing around existing utilities and gravel, pumping out a waterlogged meter pit, running PEX pipe and fittings, and finishing with a live pressure check that reveals 160 PSI on the line. Best for owners curious how the BX23S handles wet, confined digging conditions.
A hobby homesteader channel where the host documents real projects on their own property and for family, so expect a candid owner-operator perspective with no commercial stake in the tractor.
Yes, but soft ground caused the operator to get stuck digging straight, so he turned parallel and ran alongside the ditch to finish it in the soft section.
A portable 12-volt battery with a bilge pump was used to continuously pump water out through a hose to a drainage ditch while finishing the trench.
The tested line showed 160 PSI, far above the recommended 70 pounds max, so a regulator was needed before full use, similar to past water heater pressure issues.
