Hey Chris if you get a chance we would love to see the progress on the big pond you did recently behind the big shop building. That was a very impressive dam
The transformation of the pastures and the pond has been astonishing. Your customer is fortunate to have hired the BEST in the business. It's a great job Chris.
If you think electric fence wire is bad, try getting a set of old bed springs tangled up in your tracks. Being spring steel, most wire cutting pliars won't touch them. Hammer and a good chisel might. However it's done, it must be cleared away, or you risk tearing out every seal in the final drives. Even less fun to replace those.
Chris i want to thank you for this channel and you sharing your knowledge and skills with us. I'm far from calling myself an operator. I've operated minis and backhoes to replace water and sewer lines or repair them. I live vicariously through you. That little kid in me says yes this is cool. I've learned a lot from you.
I expect we’d all love to see his old dragline once again clearing ponds, but I doubt Chris would want to work the old beast that hard. Not to mention how tiring the old machines were to operate!
As always chis you have made this place looks absolutely amazing you are the best out there doing it all the little details you put in your work means alot can't wait to see what you do next at the bealy good farm
Do you know who built the pond? Good job with the pond draining. Island clearing was a snap. Good place to give the Volvo a little rinse off. Great job today. Thanks Chris. Have a good evening.
I don't know if it's my imagination, but when you're moving the se.i green brush, it seems to be much heavier per grapple grab listening to the motor. Love your precision and care. True talent.
The teeth on your rake need to be 3 times longer. That way the dirt can migrate under the horizontal bar supporting the teeth instead of rolling up the soil with the debris. The horizontal bar and the dozer blade are riding way too close to the surface.

The area around the pond and beyond is really looking nice. Once grass grows in to feed the property owner's cattle it's going to look beautiful. He'll be able to increase the size of his herd.
Well, Ya got the Tracks Nice and Clean , it looked like !! lololol.... Man, that pond looks so much better now, I know your going to have a couple Hella Fires !! lololol... Great as always Chris !! Have a Great Evening, And, On too the Next !!
Nutria is the size of a beaver at 10-20 lbs + and has straight tail when they swim. Muskrat is 4-6 lbs and has a semi-flat tail that snakes back and forth when they swim. Either way, they are devastating in a pond as they both do the exact same thing: Burrow long tunnels into the banks, including the dam. If not removed, they will eventually collapse the dam. Unfortunately, you can't relocate them.
If I had your property, I would offer to buy the smallest grain silo that was at that job site. That would be a cool thing to see every day as a lawn ornament. Plus you cows, so it would complete the scenery. Just saying. 👍🏻
Hey Chris Would you do a short video on how to use the grade level to dig a ditch from one level to another? I have to put a drain tile in from my back yard to the front and I don’t know how to set a laser level.
Hi Chris the pond is coming alone nicely your doing another great job and making thing's look fantastic, just watch out for the snacks the damn things bit theres no wonder you love your aircon so you can keep the doors shut, thank's for another great video Chris.
I'm wondering why would the trees on the island be removed. It gave the pond character. I made the same comment on the big bond you built with the large pond where the island was left bare.
Chris, do your customers watch your video's? Do they make comments? The reason I'm asking is because you have great explanations for what you're doing and why.
Every pond I’ve ever seen with an island in it is overgrown with trees and bushes. People may have good intentions to keep it maintained when they put an island in a pond but most people don’t follow through. My neighbor has about a 4 acre pond that the previous owner built. The previous owner built an island in it to give his flock of 10 or so geese a safe place to rest at night. Now the island is so overgrown that the geese probably can’t even get on it and his flock of 10 or so geese has become around 300 if not more. I’ve got 4 ponds totaling around 4 1/2 acres or so and my neighbors geese visit my ponds every day. Large numbers of geese on a body of water for an extended period of time will make your fish taste like goose 💩.
I wonder how many people Chris's videos have saved from short cutting companies. Even though it is just a snapshot of his day, he gives a lot of hows and whys

Chris is the best at pond work, he knows very well what needs to be done.
Chris you are so good at narrating your videos that's why I think that everyone enjoys watching you 😊. Keep up the good work and keep safe

What a gorgeous piece of property. Wow! I absolutely love how take such pride in your job. Thank you for sharing. You make it look so easy.
The transformation of the pastures and the pond has been astonishing. Your customer is fortunate to have hired the BEST in the business. It's a great job Chris.
How a responsible contractor lowers the pond level. Many small projects completed for a full day of work.
How does a young buck like Chris manage to do everything so darn meticulously? Fabulously insightful and reasoned!

Love watching you work. This was great, Chris. Thanks for sharing.
Great video, pond, and pastures look amazing .
Amazed at the hard bottom of the pond!! Beats sinking!! Liked the idea you had on the drainage ditch!! Smart idea !!
A lot of cowboys would just have carved it up and damn the consequences, nice and thoughtful approach. Good job.
If anyone ever wants pond work done,Chris you're the man. Nice video Chris.
Chris i want to thank you for this channel and you sharing your knowledge and skills with us. I'm far from calling myself an operator. I've operated minis and backhoes to replace water and sewer lines or repair them. I live vicariously through you. That little kid in me says yes this is cool. I've learned a lot from you.
Those brush piles oughta burn hot and fast!! Nice plan on the pond drain down!
Yeah that pond's turning out real nice wasn't much left of that island when she pulled everything off it. Good stuff. 👍👍🙂🇨🇦
Digging that drain ditch in the dam is a great demo of the incredible productivity your machine allows you to have.
I love the time lapse at the end. Please include more time lapse good job.
Really liked the time lapse. Thanks for sharing.
So enjoying this pond rehab! Beautiful scenery. U r so knowledgeable, owner blessed to have u. God's blessings and be safe.
I'm really enjoying watching this series. The time lapse really adds a different perspective to your work.

Beautiful piece of property ❤❤❤

Hi Chris wife and I like this pond can’t wait to see when it’s all done awesome job
Don’t know why Chris, but I lost you for a bit. Back in hospital so I can catch up. Great to see you again.
First time in a while good morning everyone I hope you all enjoy your day ❤❤❤❤😂😂😂😂😂❤
Another fine project Chris 😊😊😊
THANKS!
I can’t wait to see the fire
I don't know if it's my imagination, but when you're moving the se.i green brush, it seems to be much heavier per grapple grab listening to the motor. Love your precision and care. True talent.
Those are going to be some “TINY” LD18 fires!!!😂😂😂 It is going to be an interesting video for sure!!
I ENJOYED WATCHING THE VIDEO CHRIS 😊
Very cool pond good work
Chris... the pond pirate but instead of a ship he has an excavator 😂
Looking so much better.
Looking good makes that property look much bigger nice job Chris👍👍😎
You should have taken a drone shot of the 220 setting on the island that would have been cool. Pond looking a lot better.
Pond site looking amazing
The teeth on your rake need to be 3 times longer. That way the dirt can migrate under the horizontal bar supporting the teeth instead of rolling up the soil with the debris. The horizontal bar and the dozer blade are riding way too close to the surface.
Cool seeing how to see the grade control👍
Great work Chris I’d love to come see some of your work in person I’ve been watching your channel for as many years and it’s amazing love your work
Job well done 👍🏻
nice office you have there a little dusty at times some mud here n there , blue sky trees water and no-one in sight , nice
LetsDig18!
I liked the island with the trees, I’m sure it will still look awesome when it’s done though
Thatss going to be another nice pond. Do you ever go fishing in some of the ponds you build?
Nice job love watching your days at work
Looks amazing Chris.
Great job on draining the pond sure is going to be pretty to look at.
Nice work looking great Chris.
Yeah the trees are gone needs to just take out the little island all together it’s too small everything looks great thank you for sharing 😊
That was one way to wash the tracks .

DAMN that DAM😂
Totally awesome. Utah waving hi 👋 You made short work of all that. Impressive. Be safe 😊
Tell him to plant mint on the island 😂 That stuff will never allow another plant to grow on it!! And it would smell amaizng!
I enjoyed watching you clear off the island.
Got love time lapse! 🥳
The area around the pond and beyond is really looking nice.
Once grass grows in to feed the property owner's cattle it's going to look beautiful.
He'll be able to increase the size of his herd.
Build the land up with some crush concrete would look pretty nice 👌🏾
Awesome - do you have a similarly in-depth video on all your pine tree styles?
Great skills can create masterpieces and you do it over and over my friend. Lookin great Chris!!
You got that place looking good
Well, Ya got the Tracks Nice and Clean , it looked like !! lololol.... Man, that pond looks so much better now, I know your going to have a couple Hella Fires !! lololol... Great as always Chris !! Have a Great Evening, And, On too the Next !!
I can see some great 🔥🔥 soon.. job is coming along great ..
Love this video Chris It was a very good one .👍👍👍
Enjoyed this video bro. Safe travels. Ken.
One benefit of swimming with the excavator, you don't need to dig off the mud from the undercarriage or tracks. Win-win!
Nutria is the size of a beaver at 10-20 lbs + and has straight tail when they swim. Muskrat is 4-6 lbs and has a semi-flat tail that snakes back and forth when they swim. Either way, they are devastating in a pond as they both do the exact same thing: Burrow long tunnels into the banks, including the dam. If not removed, they will eventually collapse the dam. Unfortunately, you can't relocate them.
Chris, this pond is shallow enough to push the mud up to the banks with the D6 lol.
Had no idea Nutria were in the Carolina area. We have our share of them in Louisiana. They will sure do.some.damage. Good eating for.sure. :)
Thank you and have a great day.
love the rip rap drain , great discharge quality meet ,
If I had your property, I would offer to buy the smallest grain silo that was at that job site. That would be a cool thing to see every day as a lawn ornament. Plus you cows, so it would complete the scenery. Just saying. 👍🏻
Looking better everyday
Hey Chris
Would you do a short video on how to use the grade level to dig a ditch from one level to another? I have to put a drain tile in from my back yard to the front and I don’t know how to set a laser level.
31:20 If they do decide to have a little island it might be a good idea to have a little bridge "feature" with a large round pergola on it...
Well Cant wait to see the progress in coming days
Time lapse, really cool
Hi Chris the pond is coming alone nicely your doing another great job and making thing's look fantastic, just watch out for the snacks the damn things bit theres no wonder you love your aircon so you can keep the doors shut, thank's for another great video Chris.
Dig it!
As much as you use a dozer with a root rake you ought to put one that’s only a root rake on the D6
the amount of material that bucket holds is crazy
So Chris . . . what little surprise did you buy for the 330? My guess is a Feller / Buncher head so you can process trees as you clear a lot.
Or AMI’s 4 in 1 bucket so that he does not miss thumbs
Rotator?
good pond video
That was a lot of different things that you did,..was interesting to watch,..
CHRIS BUILDS PONDS !!!...AND CHRIS EMPTIES PONDS!!!....😮😊...
If I have the means in the future, you'll be my number 1 pick for doing land clearing on my property.
The Pond Master back to doing pond work. 220 didn`t swim too deep.
I'm wondering why would the trees on the island be removed. It gave the pond character. I made the same comment on the big bond you built with the large pond where the island was left bare.
They plan on raising the level of the pond so the trees would drown.
Yeah, trees are gonna die….
Chris, do your customers watch your video's? Do they make comments? The reason I'm asking is because you have great explanations for what you're doing and why.
Yeah most of them watch the videos... Saves them trips to the job sites and a morning text or call if they want something changed

Feel like when you light that brush pile your gonna evaporate that water table down 😂
Its ok Chris . Everyone thinks up reasons to drive Into the pond to avoid shoveling the track . 😂 Could you put in a small path to get to the island ?
I wonder how many people Chris's videos have saved from short cutting companies. Even though it is just a snapshot of his day, he gives a lot of hows and whys
Hey Chris! Was that a snake a slithering?😮 Have a great evening,take care and God Bless ya Brother!!!❤😊
Yes
Can you come up to the Upper Peninsula of Michigan? we need a pond. 😂
All ready looking great. What’s the depth of this pond ?
