I am enjoying your video programs and I am amazed at how you seem to become one with your equipment to get the most effort into each job. I do not like watching TV, as I am not into all of the Fabricated News, Half Truths and outright lies to say nothing about the strife that is taking place in our country... Your programs offer me a avenue to avoid all the bad programing and at the same time give me a source for enjoyable programing.. Thank you for the video's, keep ;up the good work and always be safe....
Excellent operator on many kinds of heavy equipment. He uses logic on every move. Certainly good at his job. I was also a heavy equipment operator back in the day. I especially like the grappl,e on the. Excavator and the bucket that turns completely and tilts left or right . Great!!
Hey Chris, thank you for the extended video! It's good to get comfortable and watch. I really enjoy the drone footage as well, keep them coming please:)
Love the videos @letsdig18! I can sit for hours upon hours just catching up on all the videos you have and not a one has bored me yet! I especially like the ones you did where you’ve got the whole job done in the whole video and I love seeing the before and after videos. Keep making em and I’ll keep watching em!
Some can only afford a trailer house and I get that. When Chris twisted the frame I was shocked I mean the frame was as limp as a 90 year old pecker. Amazing how cheap they are built
Yep !! You loaded the shit out of the Dump today !! lolol....I'd say that was a good load...lolol...That was a good shot the drone got while you was burning !! That machine of yours is a Beast Chris ! she looks like a damn T-Rex, chewing that shit up !! Great as always ...Have a Great Evening....
Don't let that mobile home frame get near your tracks. It will detrrack that Volvo fast than you can blink. I've seen those frames detrack a D9 dozer. God bless
Nice video as always Chris. Nice to have you back to working. Missed your dirt vids while you were gone on vacay. However I did enjoy the auction vids too. So if Tim is gonna be there burning tomorrow, does that mean you’ll be elsewhere or is the rain going to shut you down more than likely?
Just an academic question. Why don't you use a tub grinder and make mulch out of the wood and stump debris? Seems like you could either use it for ground cover or sell it.
Saw a haul truck being towed North up 77 Tuesday and my first thought was "I wonder if that's the same one." Then I realized there has to be a ton of them in NC Haha
Chris 1 in a million comments. How are you so plugged in with these farmers ect. How do you get/develope leads? Do you not have to hunt work at all because you are such a youtube sensation?
Chris you are good at getting brush piles to burn. However Kleenman is pretty good as well. The scary part is that Kleenman works for the fire Department. Kinda concerning that someone who is paid to put fires out is good at starting them. Job security I guess. Lol God bless
What does a job like this cost? Not counting bad weather, how long did you think this was going to take? I mean, you've got three (Dozer, track hoe, and haul truck) large equipment, so what do you think your operating cost are per hour? For each piece? How many hours was this job? How do you charge for transport?
Generally speaking, you should charge enough to be profitable, and each person has different cost, so each would be different in price. Every business owner has to find his/her own niche and always plan for business growth and the cost of not only maintaining equipment but replacing equipment.
Volvo has been good to you on these machines. Poor mans cat is what I called them. Same color and parts for most part but a bit cheaper to replace. Just in parts alone that wear out or "burn" out, you should be on your way to making the decorative things that go round and round. Curious if you worked on the 911 job in new york as you sort through stuff like you're looking for a silk hanky. Such good hand to eye that if they told you to use a spade or shovel to dig something up, you would hope on a big excavator and pick that shovel up ever so gentle and take a spade full and throw it on the fire along with the spade/LOL. I don't take to man u all la boooring either. Your better than most and still got a ways to go to get your golden excavator award god hands out so take your time getting that one. Good work with good equipment.... following the ol' boy on the 955 must a made you a bit humble. We all start somewhere or just wind up on it and then suicide is a option, mind you not a good one. Man can always get off that mad dog 20 20 and find a good job counting faces at walmart
So if you were to grab one of those stumps (perhaps a softer wood) between the bucket and the thumb (where the tines? teeth? could dig into the grain) Could you split the stump? Does the bucket/thumb combo have enough force? I know it's not an efficient use of time nor good stress on the machine. It was a random thought I had watching you toss stumps around.

Great job
Burn baby burn, you make burnning look so easy and it is not that comes from years of work experience. Thank You Take Care
Love the time lapse Chris!
Boy, that had stuff spread all over the place.
Enjoyed it very much!
Thanks.
@23:56 money's worth, I like your drone shots it makes sense of the organized chaos!👍🌴
Man you do get some good value out of that root rake. Excellent.
A good fire always makes a video better. True fact.
Way to stack that truck! You get my nominations for operator of the year.
I did enjoy that Chris, I just now noticed you are getting content all threw out your work day, alot of content , good stuff
Instablaster.
Great video, love the drone shots.
I agree, drone shots were awesome .
12 foot high pile in the truck bed...”slow and easy”....my gut still hurts from laughing
I liked it when you made the big pit and burned everything. First time i had ever seen that done.
Thumbs up on the drone angle for the fire! Cool!
That old boy really left you a mess with that trailer. Good to see you brought your leaf blower today to get that fire going 😁
Nothing like watching Chris and eating a steak after a day's worth of work!
Excellent video! Enjoyed the combination of music and some kind of slow motion towards the end, right on!
Some can only afford a trailer house and I get that. When Chris twisted the frame I was shocked I mean the frame was as limp as a 90 year old pecker. Amazing how cheap they are built

A awesome job,I love it and thanks for sharing
another good video of our favorite PYRO!!!
Chris ,
Nice shots with the drone
Nothing better than a good fire!!!
Thanks love the video and the drone one to .
the road looks good keep up the good work
Nice job!
I wish I could run an excavator half as good as letsdig18, I would be twice as good as most!!!!
Why do I have a mental image of the Volvo overlords cringing every time you use the 250 as a fire starter? LOL
Yep did enjoy that bro so cheers for posting
I like the fast forward section.
Nice progress 💪🏼
@23:30 I've seen trucks in India with smaller loads than that. To be fair, they were on the public roads though.
good video chris
Great video chris
About time we got back to a big ass fire lol
Somebody destroyed the “Mobile Mansion”. Lol 😂
I like the time lapse
I thought at the end of the drone footage you was setting up to wave goodbye to us with the excavator! Lol😂
Chris ❤💜 watch n yur burn fires🔥 ill probably watch this video over n over again.... 👍🤓🔥
Dig18 when are you gonna start spreading your knowledge..... 3 machines no apprentice / Journeymen.....
Circle of life bro.....
Don't let that mobile home frame get near your tracks. It will detrrack that Volvo fast than you can blink. I've seen those frames detrack a D9 dozer. God bless
Theres a difference between a runner and operator
Man that 250 w those tinted windows is sexy!!!!!. Wish i could run that everyday. Great vidja man
Hello Chris I liked yesterday's video with the footage from under the truck. I liked the music in tonight's video
allways enjoy watching what you do friend....john..england.. u.k..
Nice video as always Chris. Nice to have you back to working. Missed your dirt vids while you were gone on vacay. However I did enjoy the auction vids too.
So if Tim is gonna be there burning tomorrow, does that mean you’ll be elsewhere or is the rain going to shut you down more than likely?
Looks like fun.
Can't believe you threw that tire so easy like that
Wow it started a big mess ended a organized fire good video
i always enjoy your videos
Just an academic question. Why don't you use a tub grinder and make mulch out of the wood and stump debris? Seems like you could either use it for ground cover or sell it.
Christ, sometimes you sound very well educated. I like your descriptions of how you work.
Saw a haul truck being towed North up 77 Tuesday and my first thought was "I wonder if that's the same one." Then I realized there has to be a ton of them in NC Haha
Lol. There were a few “flings” in there loading the fire, but that one big stump was a “WHOMP”!
GOOD WORK !!!!
Just had my first large fire using an excavator! What a pain in the ass! Have to baby it all day, amazing how fast it eats through piles though
26:43 here we see a Volvopyrosaurus playing with its favorite toy, fire.
Letsburn18!
Letsburn18 tons of junk.
More like let's pollute the air and water.
At 26:40, I just had a flssh : Jurassic Park ! Your 250 looked liked a T-Rex building its nest. One fiery huge nest that is !
I really like the tunes in this video!! Sweet music to my ears and I believe I am quite a bit older than you.
Hey chris those dang mobile homes are nothing but a pain to clean up.(lol)are you operating with more than 1 key today.
great work
...great, another big ass fire..lol...good vid..
Enjoyed the video as usual
Making it look good
my almost 7 year old girl goes is he going to make that lake bigger he is the lake guy lol.. she watches some of your videos with me
My 7 year old son and 5 year old daughter love watching the videos too.
Construction Trucks " Ny
Now that root rake makes since instead of grapiling it together
Now that's a fire !!!
Chris 1 in a million comments. How are you so plugged in with these farmers ect. How do you get/develope leads? Do you not have to hunt work at all because you are such a youtube sensation?
In N.C. you do good work you keep all you can do. Especially the last 10 or so years
We have a good reputation, I hardly tell anyone about my youtube stuff so not really from that
How about let us see some off machine/drone footage of the root rake doing it's thing??
Chris you are good at getting brush piles to burn. However Kleenman is pretty good as well. The scary part is that Kleenman works for the fire Department. Kinda concerning that someone who is paid to put fires out is good at starting them. Job security I guess. Lol God bless
Saw y’all truck near Foymart in Zebulon
Stand by for pyro.......
Good video today! Last time videos where a little loveless.
No hot dogs or marshmallows? 🤔🤔🤔
Do you have a video explaining the use of the display on the right side of the unit (3 partial circles and a meter)?
Chris I do believe you played way too much Tetris as a kid. Lol God bless
Just seems, a burn pit, burns hotter when you have a lot of stumps. Then filling pit his a better out come. But I've not seen final out come.
If you take & flick a lighter right up next to all that smoke it will ignite. Smoke is very flammable
Great video Chris. Thanks for sharing.
Lookin good. I think Tim will work out. LOL
Great vid Chris! Why do some vids have closed caption and others do not? TY
Hey have you demoed a 235? Same specs damn near as your 220 i ran a 2016 235 for a year and a half and its a true warrior of the jobsite
Nice
Badass drone coverage. Was it in hover while you were working the pile then flew it under the excavator arm?
Did they say why they made the burn pile 1/2 mile away from the wood pile.
The guy that came up with the idea for the thumb on a excavator new what he was doing didn't he

Generally speaking, you should charge enough to be profitable, and each person has different cost, so each would be different in price. Every business owner has to find his/her own niche and always plan for business growth and the cost of not only maintaining equipment but replacing equipment.
Does North Carolina require burn permits or letting the fire department know before you burn?
its best to get one, if its out in the country they normally dont care
What's a "Medastrip"? Just another word for swale/ditch?
I think you had two loads on there at 24 minutes nice work
Hello Chris. Do you have fire permits for your burning, and how environmentally friendly are your fires? Andrew
Is the trailer frame so soft, or is it the power of the excavator that makes it look so?
Hay Chris when you were at the auction you should have gotten that firetruck
I Can SMELL THE SMOKE IN DALLASTOWN P.A.
Not that Fire Deserves At Least A 15 PACK OF BEER,! ICE COLD OF COURSE,!
