29:00 startled the crap out of me! Had to pause and replay to show my wife and she jumped also! That will be a highlight reel clip for sure! Glad you were able to recover and back out!
Hey Chris scared the hell out me when almost tipped over into the pit, i jumped out of my chair but you did not even get fazed just backed her up and kept going ...those lots look beautiful as always you excell yourself.. Congrats on your 600K subs...
This project is really looking nice. It won’t be long until you wrap this one up. I didn’t think all that was going to fit in the pit. You might have to make the pit a tiny bit bigger but it’s going to be close. Congratulations on hitting 600K subscribers. It’s a testament to the quality of work you do. People enjoy watching you transform these job sites.
Damn Chris!!! That was a butt puckering moment when you like to of ejected yourself out of that seat when you where building the ramp to go in and out of the pit!!! Wow! Keep up the great work!!
Yes DITTO, on 600,000 well deserved young man. Your work ethics have taught a lot of people it can be done with sweat an perseverance. Keep up the good videos an hard work. God Bless
You know a good respirator with replaceable filters only costs about $20. It’s cheaper then breathing in all that ash and getting sick for a day or potentially for a lifetime. Also since you don’t wear prescription glasses you could just get a full face respirator and protect your eyes to.
Going to have to watch you push things into the pit with my hands over my eyes! Did anyone else gasp out loud when I thought you were going to tip it over? Nice job!!!🥰
He’s definitely braver than me, but Chris is the best operator I’ve ever seen in my life! I have to admit that I was cringing at that pit pushing too my friends! I’ve seen Chris do many things on the excavator throughout the years! Especially when he’s dredging! 👌🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻
CONGRATULATIONS…. 600K !!! 🎈🎈🎈 OMGosh! My heart jumped outta my body at 29:05 !!! 😮😳 Loved the nighttime burning…very aesthetically pleasing. This project has been great and not much more to do. Then on to the next one.
You’ve got a great attitude man! And a great sense of humor! No wondering things are going your way. Thanks for sharing your working world with us. I say to myself all the time, “everyday’s a vacation cause I love my occupation!”
Starting some Fires in the Dark - it looked so Romantic indeed ! Well - great Progress as the Burn Piles are burning down and less and less to be burned ! Digging a Pit for Your Ashes and Roots ! Wow - Vertical Pit Dozer - wow ! Must put on my "Shirt" Mask - ha - ha - but now its Shower Time - a Hot and Long one ! The Site look already Fantastic ! Many Cheers from us in Australia !!!!
Oh yeah, another video of the 6 Kitty running out across the project, listening to the engine purrrr, and pitter patter clatter of the track pad hitting the ground, nothing sweeter. Nice clean up job, there was a lot of brush and debris left when you started in the morning. Thanks for the ride along sir.
Hey Chris, you might want to install seatbelts in your older equipment. I was running a 977 like yours with a cab on it. I fell off in a hole I didn't see and busted my head open on the bar between the windshields. If it wasn't for that I would have been hugging the muffler out there on the hood trying to stop the machine. From that day forward I put the seatbelt on loosely and can feel it catching me a little every now and then. You are working out there by yourself man.. I am not the safety man, but I have learned the hard way and I am sure you have had many close calls yourself. ( I just saw one ) Nice work. Be safe.
When you were pushing debris into the pit and stood Betty on her nose, my heart ❤ is still pounding!! WOW! When you kinda came up in the seat I closed my eyes and was praying. But ole Betty came through and let you back right out. Pretty impressive stuff. 💪
Bloody hell mate , thought we'd lost you there at the 29 minutes mark , down the hole in Betty they'd put on ya tombstone , near gave me a heart attack . Great work today , nice clean up
Firstly Congratulations on hitting the 600 k subscriber mark. It took forever to get there. I hope you got your videos marked each time you hit a milestone. Thanks for another great video.
Wow, that looks really good. Be so nice when you are done with the piles. Going through the ashes is not fun. A mask or respirator would be really nice. Thanks very much for sharing.
Seems like the exhaust note on the D6 doesn't change much while doing some pushing. Sounds good. Great video. Job site turned out nice .enjoyed watching.
I didn’t expect a scare at 29:05. I thought you were going in! I hope you had your seat belt on!!! LOL Thank you for the wake-up call! That was hilarious when ashes consumed the entire viewing area! Great video!
Congrats on reaching 600K Chris. Holy guacamole, thought the D6 was going down for a bit of breakdancing😱🫣🤣 Love the night fires🔥 Take care & cheers 🐨🦘🥰
As much as I love new equipment and all its creature comforts I really like seeing the old iron out getting it done sometimes better than the new stuff.
Chris, I bet even you had a "pucker factor" when that machine was looking straight down into the pit... Took me a while to get my chair out of me.. :) Thanks for the neat video..
Good Lord, man, you about gave me a heart attack, when you went further down into the pit, and started tipping forward. I was sure the machine was going to go tip over headlong (don't DO that). 😦😦 God be with you.
Man how far you’ve came..600K! I bet this was a 20 min shower night for sure. As usual this job site just looks so squared away and cleanly dozed and when finish dress it with the Komatsu it will be a work of art.
MAN that shove into the pit really scared me. I thought you was going to get hurt. Than it look like you were stuck in the pit. Glad you was the operator and not me cause I would have messed my pants. I'm glad you are alright!!!!!!!!
I AM AMAZED THAT THE HYDROLIC HOSES CAN WITHSTAND ALL THAT HEAT AND DON'T BLOWOUT ON YOU!!!.CONGRATULATIONS ON THE NEW EXCAVATOR..I AM SOLD ON VOLVO NOW...
Backed out of that hole like been there done that before no prob. Amusement rides are fun sometimes. I'd be wearing a pandemic dust mask for that ash pile.
Cool video. Enjoy watching the D6 on the projects. Dusty to say the least today. Project looking extremely well. God's blessings, and please BE CAREFUL!!!
1st ! There is a British company called British Bespoke Specialists, that makes a quick coupler with a rout rake on one side and a 'blade' on the other......Great for clearing and 'shaping' the ground.....
Bam Bam blade balancing in the bottom of the pit.😉 More than enough grunt to back right out, begging for more. Getting paid to have so much fun and sharing the joy with the world. Thanks Chris 🖖
Congratulations to you on surpassing 600k subscribers. I think that you should have pushed the dirt and roots into the ashes, then used the excavator to mix them up before pushing the whole mess into the pit; would have been less messy.
That is real dedication to your work to wake up and get to a job before sunrise. Yaaaaa! Chris got 600K!!! Looking like Wilma dozer`s left brake needs adjustment - not as responsive as a right track lever pull. Quite the recovery of a 30 degree plus down slope. Did you have your seat belt buckled? Might be good to blow out Wilma`s air filter after those trips thru the ash piles.
Um, a couple things for next time: 1. Seatbelt 2. Dustmask 3. Bring a track loader. It might be more efficient (and fun) to move a pile when not raking.
The D6 has proven to be an excellent investment, I believe. I was concerned watching when Chris was pushing stuff into the pit, wondering if he was going to test the roll cage. I guess that you get used to the sliding into the pit feeling, although I don't think I even would. I now have a pair of ear protectors hanging by my monitor.
Hello Chris, wow, that was an exciting and scary video today! Bet you wished you had your seat belt on @ the 29 minute mark as it scared me just watching and I thought Betty was going to land on her nose! As a retired Paramedic of 42 years and an old fool who thought he was invincible at your age, I wonder if you would consider wearing an Elastomeric Full Facepiece Respirator when pushing through smoke and ashes ? Your lungs will thank you. Cheers from Canada.
I never realized how many embers come off a fire like that until the night video. I thought you were going to be stuck in a hole there for a minute. Keep on keepin on. Greetings from that Old Jarhead in WNC
you got up a 3 a.m.! Man when do you sleep? But the days are shorter now. There seems to be a lot of forest in NC where the trees are very tightly growing. Why don't people thin them in NC? Good job! I hope you are wearing a mask when it is dusty.
29:00 startled the crap out of me! Had to pause and replay to show my wife and she jumped also! That will be a highlight reel clip for sure! Glad you were able to recover and back out!
Yep, that was a "Oh Sugar" moment!

Good reason to wear a lap belt and not get tossed like a rag doll.
@@bobs1345 For sure. A ROPS doesn’t do squat if you don’t stay in the safe zone!
Superclean and shaped up. Pretty site
Good reason not to wear white drawers.
@@bobs1345 39:28 There is no lap belt

curious how much a job like this bids? guessing $20k USD
600k! Congratulations! 🍾

All he needed was a N95. I have a dozen in my toolbox just for such occasions.
You are determined to make this another "GREAT SERIES", including the pucker up and the dust bath, but like you said "It had to be done". Great Video
Going to have to watch you push things into the pit with my hands over my eyes! Did anyone else gasp out loud when I thought you were going to tip it over?
Nice job!!!🥰
A little hard on my heart! Wow, I thought you were going end over end! 😳

Damn Chris! I thought you were going to be thrown clear out of the cab!
It was definitely an “Oh Shit” moment for me!
OMG I yelled "STOP" at my tv...🤔
Congratulations on hitting 600K subscribers. love your work and your channel. Thankyou Chris

Ole Betty is strong…almost standing on her nose and still had the power to back up the slope! Awesome operating Chris!
except that this isn't Betty , this is the D6D dozer , Betty is the 977 track loader easy enough mistake to make when Chris has four crawlers .
@@bobbrinkerhoff3592 I call this one, Big 6. That was the name my cousin had for his. His dad had 8 Ball. (D8)
Just couldn't help yourself could you.
That's his dozer w root rake on the front Betty is I think back at his place or on a different job
600.000 🥳 Gratulation

Congrats on another nice looking job Chris! Someone has to get you a respirator though!
Enjoyed the early morning fire!! You really get the view of the embers!! This phase is starting to wind down.
That dozer is a beast! You say "Push" and it says "Yes sir!," and it doesn't stop until you tell it too...
That was so dusty dozing through the burn pit that my smoke alarm went off in my house. Keep up the great vids!
600k congrats sure cleaned up nice with the burning gone. nice job. cheers.

I think you had a good old-fashioned "oh s***" moment while pushing those roots!
😆😆😆
🎉Night fires 🎉👍thanks for your early morning work 👍
Great job Chris it starting to come together keep up the great job. Great videos. That big iron really moves the dirt
Bloody hell mate , thought we'd lost you there at the 29 minutes mark , down the hole in Betty they'd put on ya tombstone , near gave me a heart attack . Great work today , nice clean up
That was quite a ride around the 29 minute mark...

Dang Chris I was choking while you were pushing the ashes. Nice fast burning fires. This will be a beautiful home site.
Ought to have some covid masks in the truck for days like that. Almost had the d5 on its nose one time (that was on camera)!😆
You do such awesome work. These two lots look wonderful. I know I would be thrilled if they were mine. Thanks for sharing.
Seems like the exhaust note on the D6 doesn't change much while doing some pushing. Sounds good. Great video. Job site turned out nice .enjoyed watching.
you make these jobs look easy. you do awesome work

Congrats on reaching 600K Chris. Holy guacamole, thought the D6 was going down for a bit of breakdancing😱🫣🤣 Love the night fires🔥 Take care & cheers 🐨🦘🥰
Chris, thanks for answering back and showing how you put the root rake on congrats on your new machine and as always another great job ty
Burning 🔥 brush and the candle at both ends?? Man does not live by work alone.
💯
You got lucky! Dozer was almost down!
Man, I thought you were going to go head over heals in the dozer in the pit! Looking Good! 👍👍👍
As much as I love new equipment and all its creature comforts I really like seeing the old iron out getting it done sometimes better than the new stuff.
It is good to know that your T-shirts double as an air filtration system. Double duty for one price. Sounds like a good value to me!
I puckered up when you nosed that D6 off in the pit! Thought you were about to hug that exhaust stack!!
Chris, I bet even you had a "pucker factor" when that machine was looking straight down into the pit... Took me a while to get my chair out of me.. :)
Thanks for the neat video..
Congratulations on the 600K subs good sir, very well deserved! 👍🏻
Good Lord, man, you about gave me a heart attack, when you went further down into the pit, and started tipping forward. I was sure the machine was going to go tip over headlong (don't DO that). 😦😦 God be with you.
Early riser getting thing done great to see the big fires you are getting done thank Chris
I love the sound of that machine !
Man how far you’ve came..600K!
I bet this was a 20 min shower night for sure. As usual this job site just looks so squared away and cleanly dozed and when finish dress it with the Komatsu it will be a work of art.
Congrats on the 600k Cris. Thanks for sharing, Stay safe.
Man you scared the crap out of me when you were tipping in the hole.
Scared me too but I rode it out ha
Crazy how one man and machines did all that clearing! Coming along 👍
That old cat D6 just loves to push. You almost lost it that one time.
You got me breathing in when you did your trick in the pit. I thought you were going over.
I look forward to wacht your channel everyday, and see you working so meticulous, all of us viewer's love you and make you company.
MAN that shove into the pit really scared me. I thought you was going to get hurt. Than it look like you were stuck in the pit. Glad you was the operator and not me cause I would have messed my pants. I'm glad you are alright!!!!!!!!

Yeah it's looking good. Your favorite fires!.🔥🔥🌲🌳👍👍🙂🇨🇦
Cool video. Enjoy watching the D6 on the projects. Dusty to say the least today. Project looking extremely well. God's blessings, and please BE CAREFUL!!!
It must be nice and peaceful being there while relighting those fires and enjoy your day.

I’m coughing from all that ash!!! Careful out there Mr Chris.
That was some smooth operating I think I would have opted for the makeshift t-shirt ninja mask for all the Smokey Dusty work there
Pucker moment at 30 min
A change your underwear moment at the 29:05 minute lol
You will sleep well tonight after starting so early in the morning. This job is nearly done and well done !!!

Didn't look like it phased you a bit. Nice recovery!!

Chris, driving through those ashes took balls of steel.
Nice job Chris!!😊
That D6 is doing an awesome job and so isn't the operator😄😄😄😄👍👍👍👍👍👍
You had me almost jumping out of bed at 29 mins when Betty did a nose dive 😱😱😱😱
Um, a couple things for next time:
1. Seatbelt
2. Dustmask
3. Bring a track loader. It might be more efficient (and fun) to move a pile when not raking.
Some really good pond building material. It would pack hard as brick.
