22 years was too long - digging up a septic tank

An owner-operator documents a real Saturday scramble to locate and uncover a buried septic tank using a John Deere 2210 front-end loader, no backhoe. The video follows three dig attempts, explains the soil-probe method, and honestly notes how much hand-digging was still required. Practical takeaways include cost savings over hiring out and a riser recommendation. Best for 2210 owners curious about front-loader earthmoving on unplanned utility projects.
