A qustion for CK20 owners

Is that a piece of concrete pipe? If yes how big is it?

Yeah, the contractor decided to put the drilled well in the middle of my driveway so I decided to bury it. The concrete casing (well tile) is 36" in diameter, 42" tall and 3" thick with a dual liftout cover. I cut 6" off of the bottom since I hit some large rocks just 46" down and wanted the cover to be about 6" below final grade. I then drilled a hole in the side and ran a 4" PVC pipe out to the driveway edge to drain any water that may buildup in the well tile. Here is my thread of the project.

As a fellow New-Hampshire-Ite, I couldn't help but notice the rocks that were hit during trenching, not easy stuff to dig through.

Must say though, the rocks are mighty small compared to the stuff I hit, I literally can not go down 6 inches without hitting something at least the size of a 5 gallon pail. 3 foot down and I'm talking 55 gallon drum sized rocks

Yeah, luckily the trench was across the driveway which is mostly fill. If it had gone through untouched ground, I would have been digging for days.

Impressive, around 1100 lbs of lift. Great photos, thanks for posting!!

Yeah, with a little math I figured it weighed 1110lbs. Here is a pdf with the dimensions. It was also hanging at the center of the loader bucket so the weight was quite a ways from the pins they measure the lift capacity at.

49875.92 in3 Outer diameter volume
36643.54 in3 Inner diameter volume

Outer cylinder volume minus the inner cylinder volume = total cylinder volume
49875.92 in3 - 36643.54 in3 = 13232.38 in3 Concrete

13232.38 in3 / 1728 = 7.66 ft3

7.66 ft3 * 145lb/cu.ft = 1110.7lbs of concrete

It may be listed at 1074lbs of lift at the pins but I know it lifts more, oh and this is with a cracked loader too! Good thing I have that reinforcement plate.

Oh my God... You actually used that flimsy weak loader.... What were you thinking???

Oh right, ... that it is a fine piece of equipment, and that it can do a TON of work..

PS: I own a strengthened loader and I approve this message!
