Hi from Cambridge, England. I'm always amazed at the work you do and the skill and obvious pleasure you show in doing it. You certainly have the right tools for the job. Always great to watch and strangely relaxing.
You and Unk , get a lot done for just you 2 !! Looks like that clay is getting pretty sticky there...lolol....Knocking it right on out, another couple good days like today and you'll have that one done and gone !! Great as always Chris !! Have a Great Evening...On too the Next !!
I was thinking, "I'm surprised he didn't blow the horn", two seconds later you said "I almost blew the horn then remembered , I'm the truck driver". Gave me a chuckle, love your channel.
The transformation from the beginning until know is awesome. No one would ever guess how grown up this area was before the first bucket of dirt and tree was moved out...... Great job Chris.
Hey Chris, you do awesome job! I live in Franklin Indiana and the guys here in construction don't do near the good as you do! I've always wanted to be a heavy equipment operator, but being handicapped keeps back! But I enjoy watching you work!
Would love to see some ponds you done from a few years ago , bet they look amazing when all the grass grows back , please visit a few old jobs , would make a great watch
"The dirt has moisture in it" is Chris's way of saying, I found some mud and I'm gonna play in it. 😉 Nice work on it all, Chris. I WAS gonna commend John for his operating skills until he almost rolled it. 😂
Good heavens my OCD has kicked in every time you drive pass the pond and I see all the branches and trees sticking out of the mud. I heard you say dredging the pond was not in there budget but that would drive me crazy. Love this channel!!
Nothing says fun like tipping your already sold digger on its last day. It’s really interesting to see the changes in this project. I remember watching your walk through on the first day. You’d never know it was the same place now though. On a personal note, my cat sits and watches your videos with me and gets really excited when Winston or the cattle make an appearance.
Hi Chris.lucky John got out of that Situation ok.damn ground gaveway there but you dont expect that To happen .pond damm looking good so far. Good To have clay filled Up as a sealer around the pond.gonna look nice at the end 😀 .stay safe
I always imaging what it took to make ponds with horses and scoops. The weeks of labour to acheive what you now do in days. Earthmoving machines are engineering superheroes.
from my permaculture studies that was an excellent view of building a KEYWAY. Unfortunately I never heard any audio describing what was SO necessary in building the dam wall. I just love your videos,. .....
I’ll tell you the truth Chris I had completely forgot about that pond it took me a while to remember what Pond you was on. Then when you went across it with the dozer then I remembered oh yeah this is the pond where they had all the big trees on the side of the dam and it was leaking through the damn but anyway brother you and John and yawls family stay safe and keep the videos coming and I can’t wait to see the finished product of this one
Had a trench collapse once in Nelsonville ,Ohio on a deep sewer project. We had been blasting to get through a cap of rock had moved back forward to drag the trench box forward when it all gave way. About upset the machine and almost stained Some underwear lol. Life’s adventures are what keeps it interesting providing no harm comes from it. Enjoy your content 👍👍 🇺🇸🦅🌏⚓️🇺🇸
Nothing like tooting yer own horn ... especially when nobody else is around. 😄 Anybody else make the 'BEEP" sound when Chris pulled the dump truck up alongside the excavator? 👍
What are you getting to replace the old faithful 160 be interested to hear 👂🤔and a big hello from Scotland UK you're videos are top notch keep them coming 👍
Hahaha!! I was thinking about you blowing the horn when the dump was loaded.. and you mentioned it a few seconds later.. Now just need the drone-like controls to send that truck off to dump the load.. Clever way to trench that dam, and fill it back in with the clay.. should work good for plugging the leak.
I was watching them on one of the live cams build the walls and thought they could uses Chris's help, lol. They need more machines there building it if they want to contain the lava. The volcano is pumping it out faster than they can keep up with just one dozer and one excavator. That said, seen some close up videos of the work already done and it's quite impressive how much dirt they already moved.
Hitting bullseyes dumping those core loads ! Pretty work Chris. I’m glad John didn’t get hurt.
Hi from Cambridge, England. I'm always amazed at the work you do and the skill and obvious pleasure you show in doing it. You certainly have the right tools for the job. Always great to watch and strangely relaxing.
Is this what you in England call a 360 digger?
@@Famous-Potatoes never heard that phrase but it's literal and probably correct
@@Famous-Potatoes we usually go mini, midi, then goes to tonnes. but yes it's a 360
The "Crisis averted" segment would have made a nice video short all by itself! My wife and I never miss a video. You are the best!
Gooood afternoon from central Florida! Hope everyone has a great day!
Thank you, Sir!
Looks great Chris, thanks for sharing my friend! 👌🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Looking good Chris,you and John are doing a great job!
Looking good from what it was when you started. It will be a really nice place when you get it all done.
Pretty neat to see the old 160 out on its last voyage. Many memories with that unit.
A good work this day and the next day go the repair further. Greeting from Vienna
Chris great video,hard work by you and John. Thanks for sharing. Kevin
Was handy having a recovery service so close by to help the old 160 bro, hope it goes to a good home. Great video as always. Safe travels up your way

Loved that recovery action Chris !!
Hello from Spring Texas! I’m diggin it too!

@ James, my apologies to you.
When I posted my comment 4-hours ago, u-tube had NOT posted yours. 🤨
@@stevenr8606 I don't always look down the list of comments when I post one. I see no problem with two people having a similar comment.
You both are alright people!!!! Nice pair of very respectful comments! Nice.
Love to watch experience at work. Well done guys!!!
The transformation from the beginning until know is awesome. No one would ever guess how grown up this area was before the first bucket of dirt and tree was moved out...... Great job Chris.
Would love to see this pond be dug out to 18-20ft deep ! I know it's not in the budget though. Great video and thumbs up always.
watching how Chris and John got the last Excavator out of the dredging job no doubt they could get this one unstuck. nice work guys. stay safe.
Hey Chris, you do awesome job! I live in Franklin Indiana and the guys here in construction don't do near the good as you do! I've always wanted to be a heavy equipment operator, but being handicapped keeps back! But I enjoy watching you work!
To see what it looks like now a fly over of the shooting berms and pond makeover of last year would be interesting.
Would love to see some ponds you done from a few years ago , bet they look amazing when all the grass grows back , please visit a few old jobs , would make a great watch
Man you just manipulate the land with those machines. So satisfying to watch!
Great stuff, my 4 year old loved the dumper shots 👍🏻
Just nice to have some well maintained equipment on a job site . Whole setup is a well oiled machine . Nice job .
Great footage Chris , love the pond projects .
"The dirt has moisture in it" is Chris's way of saying, I found some mud and I'm gonna play in it. 😉 Nice work on it all, Chris. I WAS gonna commend John for his operating skills until he almost rolled it. 😂
Lmaoooo
That trench collapse could have ended up being a whole lot worse than it was. Glad it wasn't too difficult to rescue the 160 and no one got hurt.
That’s some good looking top soil. I could use a load or two at the house. Can’t wait to see the pond when it’s done.

Great work as usual 👏👍. Finishing up with a strong finish.

Ey, I miss the Volvo EC950F! 😃
we can but hope for one......!
Huuum, can't see it in middle of a pond digging out meuud ! 😳 🤣
Every time I think that dump truck is full....you manage to squeeze three more scoops into it, Chris! 🤔😂
Fill it up!
Was hoping to see a 950 join the fleet, even if it is impractical. Ten scoops, pond done!

Looks like some good clay. Going to be nice pond.
First time I have seen John on a job without the grey dump truck

Thanks for sharing.
That's one of them oh crap moments glad you were there Chris
Its gonna be a sad day seeing the old 160 leave
Yea Diandy, I was thinking the same thing because I’ve been watching Chris running that old 160for a lot of years now
hello from east texas! its too wet to play down here but i am glad you are having fun!
Hello from Detroit!!
Awesome work as always Chris.
Props to ya brother.
Keep up the good work.
Hmmmm, new owner... DP upgrading his 140 to the 160?!? 🧐🤔
I'll betcha one of these days Chris the magnificent will juggle stumps with his excavator! Sure makes it look easy!
Where's my new excavator? It's in the ditch over there :)
its amazing how small the 160 looks when the 250s bucket is next to it. glad you got it right out and nothing major happened.
Got my bee 200el delivered yesterday! Your video made me try the Volvo fell in love with the feel of that things
you remembered you were the truck driver....good one 😂😂
Had a trench collapse once in Nelsonville ,Ohio on a deep sewer project. We had been blasting to get through a cap of rock had moved back forward to drag the trench box forward when it all gave way. About upset the machine and almost stained
Some underwear lol. Life’s adventures are what keeps it interesting providing no harm comes from it. Enjoy your content 👍👍
🇺🇸🦅🌏⚓️🇺🇸
Oh boy let’s go. Watching this while in the hospital waiting for my procedure. Got the IV in me while we speak boys. Let’s go.
@Samuel Lim appreciate it. This is going to tell me if I need to have a hernia or two fixed and if I have a few broke ribs lol. Take care man.
Wish you the best, Sack. That's dedication! 😇
Hope all goes well for you! Bet Chris could tie a few sutures with his machine if the docs need some help.
@@katschs3965 I’ll have to give him a call lol.
Good luck
Good job sir ☺️
the dozer makes wonderful white noise for to fall asleep with.. excellent background sound.. better than any music.
New Subscriber, love this channel, I dig it
I'm very happy when look your working 👍👍
The denzion of Dirt, the surgeon of soil, the hauler of humus, stop me Chris,....I’m on a roll here.
The expert of excavation,the master of moving(topsoil), hmmm, what else can we come up with?
The Sultan of Soil
The Wizard of Woods Removal, The Slayer of Slop, and the seemingly obvious, Prince of Ponds
The duke of dirt, the emancipator of buried excavators, silky smooth at making Volvo's move.
The Butcher of Boulders?
Good local operates know their local soils .they know what works .like chris
I didn't think the 160 would cover even the down payment on the 950 but maybe you made it work haha
Chris I just absolutely love your surrounding area. Im sure you wouldnt ever want to move
Chris: 'It's sold and its here for one more day.'
Trench: Bet
Hope the new owner wasn't watching 20:40
Hey from Sweden 😀
Unbelievable, I finally got in under the first 1K on one of Chris's vids.
That's almost impossible.
Of course I know it'll be a good one.
Horn and the truck driver, good one!
Another good job looks great chris
Looks great Chris 🇺🇲
Good afternoon from Adelaide Australia
The progressive placer of ponds, the captain of clay, the deliverer of dirt,....
Tom can crack the wip, good job team 👏 👍 👌 🙌 💪 😀
Glad John and the machine are okay!!!
Well as long as you don’t beep the horn to stop the truck 😂😂😂😂 now that would be funny!
Look at all that fine equipment (whoop and holler)!
Yeaaa.. Thanks Chris
Chris the master of dirt
Like this job Too , can't wait to see the end .
Good afternoon from Dunnellon Florida
I was there this morning
great job buddy and great video as always buddy 😎👊🏻👍🏻
Nothing like tooting yer own horn ... especially when nobody else is around. 😄

I don't think the average person realizes how much work is involved in clearing and making places look like a golf course/country club
Tractor Time with Tim would have turned this into a 25 minute ad for some company that he is getting a kickback from.
You don't have to watch him
Man I'm sorry I didn't watch this when it came. What a save. And yes, some of us were waiting for the horn
Y’all do the most buying and selling of machines I’ve ever seen
NO surprise it gave way when you think about weight of this equipment next to a freshly dug ditch.
Great video 👍
It's been awhile since we've seen the old 160
That's good clay as it rolls off dozer blade
Chris it's looking awesome
There is a big job going on in Iceland if you have time :-)
I see them trying to stop the volcanos flow with a big wall I hope it works for them 👍
I was watching them on one of the live cams build the walls and thought they could uses Chris's help, lol. They need more machines there building it if they want to contain the lava. The volcano is pumping it out faster than they can keep up with just one dozer and one excavator. That said, seen some close up videos of the work already done and it's quite impressive how much dirt they already moved.
Nice job!!
You still gunna take a chance at getting the trees that have grown up in the old part?
Selling the 160, but gotta get it stuck first.
SALUDOS CHRIS ANOTHER GREAT VIDEO AS ALWAYS G.B.Y.
