3:40 The sight of a massive bulldozer plowing through obstacles is inspiring.

Good job young man, just concentrate on keeping it pushing dirt as much as possible, driving around with the blade up wastes fuel and undercarriage!

To protect a hub or benchmark, drive a piece of lath about 3' long into the benchmark then tie a red flag to the top. If the D8 has 2D grade control (Slope assist), zero out the the percent of grade, set the left or right tip of the blade on the benchmark, and set the desired slope. In your case it would be zero. The blade will then adjust up or down to maintain the benchmark height. Drive the dozer slowly so you don't overrun the dozer's hydraulics.

Interesting that small contractors don't use hubs and cut and fill stakes. Eliminates continually checking grade.

Just ran across your channel. Like what I see...so I subscribed. If you are interested in watching a channel that also does large ponds, may I suggest Chris Guins @letsdig18 with 685k subscribers. CAT the King of Dirt is where I live, Peoria, Illinois. I would also suggest you check out Mobile Track Solutions (MTS) that pulls Ashland pans for moving material. Their solution uses a four track type tractor and pan that eliminates the need for haul trucks, an excavator for loading material and the D8 for leveling the piles of material. The MTS system is self loading, transports the material to the fill and ejects the material evenly.The MTS system can also finish grade if equipped with a 3D grading system. Best of Luck...

Thanks for the video - great looking project.

I just found your channel last week. I was wondering what the estimated cubic yards are for this pond. Pictures sometimes doesn't do the job justice. Have you done a video on the cost of the project? I was trying to compare prices between east texas and your part of the country. I'm in the middle of a lake project myself, been doing this stuff since 1991. Good luck with finishing up the pond.

She's racist. And she needs to be trained in putting on clothing that's give us other's protection from gagging. Axs about dumb behaviour. Sad to watch🤡

I suppose, if you’re into this stuff, that dam is pretty freakin’ awesome!( when a guy turns 30, do they get fired? 😂) BTW, these daily uploads are 👍!

That was almost as boring as watching paint dry!

Do you rent, lease or buy the equipment?

MAKE IT ALL FLAT LAND!!!!!

Is this pond on S Point Prairie Rd?

Someone needs to plan these jobs better, moving clay more than once is time consuming. Machines sitting around. Very disorganized.

I have seen a pervious video of you guys using the forestry mulcher to clear out a fence line for a HOA. How do you find customers for those types of job?

I watched BAMABASS build his 5 acre pond and FLAIR build his 2-3 acre pond, and both of those guys would have KILLED for all that beautiful clay!! 😂(and saved a sh*t ton of $)

cool project. The framerate on the camera makes me want to have a seizure

Great job.

If you guys keep eating hot dogs every day, you may not be building ponds into your 30’s! 😂😂( they do look good, though! 😋) DRONE PLEASE 🙏🤞🤜🤛!

Trying to get an idea of who's who, the guy with the moustache that normally drives the white truck, is he the foreman? And the guy he was talking to in the dark sweatshirt at about 3:36 into the video, who is he? (Appears to be in authority as well). Thanks.

Just stumbled across your site this morning, watched a couple videos and subscribed so I can learn more about y'all. I'm surprised at how young everyone is (of the ones I've seen so far). Very impressed with your operation.

Please don't do the music thing. Music and heavy equipment is a definite NO!

cool video, ill watch the progress from here,

What size of bucket is on the 350?

Wow, could use that for the garden. 😂

Have you considered a drone for some aerial views and perspectives? Sure would be appreciated, given the wonderful lack of depth perception with your phone/gopro! 😂( BTW, thanks for mentioning the projected size of the pond 👍)

Thanks for explaining! I could watch you sculpt that pond all day long. Looks like about 2 acres? I’m envious of the folks that own that land! 👍

Right on neighbor

Wtf 😂 i live 10 minutes from foristell

Ban vertical video.

Maybe you could mention how many acres the pond will be? I’m curious because it seems like a good sized dam. Thanks( if you guys want some major exposure, you should contact Daniel of Arms Family Homestead in Oklahoma. He’s expanding his pond and can’t get anyone to give him an estimate 🤷‍♂️)

Hell ya brother

I’ll be damned! 😂( these explanations are much appreciated 👍)

That man just casually holding a squirrel 😂

Dumb dumb here. What’s a core trench? I have watched at least three pond builds and have never heard that term? Maybe you could give a brief explanation in one of the next shorts? 🤷‍♂️🤞thanks 👍

Where’s the shoring?

The fill clay comes from the on-site excavation?

What goes IN the trench?

I watched BAMSBASS build his pond, and FLAIR, and now ARMS FAMILY HOMESTEAD is enlarging his pond. I will definitely try to watch you guys build this pond! Looks like clay won’t be a problem. 👍( I wish you did longer vids on TH-cam 🤷‍♂️)

BEAST!(I know a little about these thanks to HEAVY D, but it’s nice to see it in action!)

I’ve got a JD2025R and catll post hole digger. People bug me because I quote an hourly rate, with 2 to 3 hour minimum, depending on distance. Rocks are one of the issues I had a job and hour away for 8 post holes on a deck addition. Thank the good Lord we brought a Kubota with a hoe as well. 14 hours and 2 massive rocks later, we were done. What an insane day.

Nice work.

Why TF would there be so many people involved??I'm guessing to make it seem like a WAYYYY bigger deal than it is. Assuming you folks are in the business of stealing other peoples money. 8 guys lol, gtfo. You must be a bunch of union progressives lol.

Sick squirrel

Nice! Looks like a pain
