An excavator smooths concrete instead of digging up dirt

Why this story? The video opened at a pace of 362,841 views a day, 7.5 times a normal first day on this channel (48,613).
Watch Workers Cast A Full Concrete Irrigation Canal For Cropland
The attachment follows the slope of the ditch, with workers below helping guide it into place. Here, an excavator's arm is doing something more delicate than scooping earth: leveling fresh concrete along an irrigation canal.
Wisdom Pouchannel's "Watch Workers Cast A Full Concrete Irrigation Canal For Cropland" drew about 363,000 views in its first day. For a channel whose subjects range from homemade tire tools to copper recovery, this particular piece of farm construction attracted an unusually large audience.
The silent clip gets straight to the work. Beside a concrete mixer truck, the excavator smooths one sloping wall, lifts its wide attachment and repositions it across the ditch. Workers guide the next pass down the opposite side.
The description explains the purpose beyond the neat surface: lining the canal is intended to reduce water seepage and help irrigation water flow. It also acknowledges the trade-off. Soft ground can settle unevenly and crack the concrete, making ground preparation and expansion joints important.
Excavators feature in the channel's other fast-starting uploads, too: one shows a trapped buffalo being lifted from a well, while another follows the removal of a pond's drain cap to release stored water. The canal clip gives the same familiar machine a quieter, finishing job.
