You are the most reliable and consistent TH-camr that I follow. Can pretty well watch what you've filmed everyday with my dinner. Thank you Chris for being so consistent and dependable. I love watching you operate that heavy equipment and working on them occasionally.
Hey Bernard, well said sir! I wind down from stressful days to Chris's videos every day. Some times I am to tired or have to sacrifice watching to get some sleep for my next day and like this video sometimes cheat and click ahead only to realize I missed something and have to go back! I was an heavy equipment operated for over 20 years though I now am a commercial truck driver. I truly can appreciate(as others) the finesse and work ethic.
My grandsons and I have become recent fans of your channel. We admire your work ethic and your "make hay while the sun shines" attitude. Hope you have a plan to make sure you do get some down time to enjoy the fruits of your labor.
I used to burn pine slash in Alabama and Georgia a few decades ago and that stuff had so much pitch in it the stuff would almost explode in front of your face even if it was dried just a few days. The pine was far wilder to burn than hardwoods ever were. I think I burned more than a few vinyl decals off - Talk about some HEAT!
Lovely day for burning - fresh air, sun shining, wind changes, hail and rain - with some clearing thrown in for good measure. Good one. Just watched S.O.T. Metalworks make the grill for Barney - they are clever operators - looks beautiful on the truck.
Just wondering how the 10 acre pond is filling up. I don't know how far it is from where you are. If you get over by there I would love to see a short video of it when it gets full.
At least you're not up to your ears in mud on this one. Making short work of those burn piles. Thanks again for your hard work and sharing with all of us. Your voice doesn't sound 100% yet, but it's coming along. Take care of yourself.
You are so relaxed running the 220. Experienced operator for sure. Clearing the land makes it more marketable and profitable. Thank u so much for video!!! God's blessings on this Palm Sunday. Stay safe!
That's going to be a really nice piece of property once you're done with it Chris. Such a drastic change from what it was when you started. Opening up drainage, and clearing and burning all that brush and trash trees had really turned that place around. Great video as always!
My grandsons just got introduced to their backyard fire pit for the first time... rapt attention and amazement is just the start, plus the bonus of getting rid of the yard trimmings we had just piled up! 👏🏽👍🏼☺ It never grows old... no matter what age! 😎
You need to take a dish liquid (Dawn) and fill it with off road diesel,/dyed kerosene to keep in the excavator when you are burning brush. It makes a great squeeze bottle for starting fires.
Man, I thought it was going to take off, when it started to burn the tops of those pines !! lolol... Nothing wrong with a little Sunday burning or whatever day you done it on...lolol... Getting it cleared on off !! Great as always Chris !! Have a Great Evening, and a New Week.... On too the Next !!
Another nice vid of Chris burning off the piles he's been clearing to watch while I'm in bed recovering from a head cold like he just went thru. Another customer who's going to be happy with the job he did. I wonder how much work he gets from referrals from satisfied customers.
Hi from uk chris and all👋👍 pleased to see them piles finally disappearing👌 and a tree top or 2😂 lol pleased everything went well tho and got bit more cleared for next pile👌 and you said you wanted rain you never specified frozen or not lol 😂 thanks for your time and be safe see you soon👍👋
...brings back so many memories working with my dad and his excavation business...I didn't always appreciate it when I was a kid because I saw long hours, some bad injuries etc...I do really appreciate it now though
Wonder if that was the same system that brought hail to Florida last week? Friend's daughter's car had 6 large holes thru the rear window and broke it out of the frame plus damage to his vehicles. Some of that hail was palm size. And he has big hands.
If this was filmed After the 10 acre pond dam fix then You sound Soo much Better. Glad that whatever bug you had has gone. Thanks Always for the content. Prayers and Blessings Always to You and Your family.
pretty sure it was after since he used the same excavator there too and the first video back here showed him shipping it in... but I could be wrong... I'm only 2500 miles away.
Well, here in Australia we have matches called “Redheads”, it looked like you were carrying around a giant redhead🤣 Sounds like you have nearly recovered Chris. Take care & cheers🐨🦘🥰
I've done a fair amount of burning big piles, (not as many as this at once) and have found that as long as you are quick about it, no real damage gets done to the machine. This includes pushing it all together with a skid steer as it gets down. Pretty hot work and I may have reduced the track life a little bit doing it..XD
You just did a ton of maintenance work on the equipment. And changed gallons of oil, trans fluid and hydraulic. All of which burns slow and hot. I always saved my used oils for fires.
Check the Hydraulic fluid Pressure relief valve And look in the tank to see how foamy it looks could be sucking air on a return line All causes of a noise from the pump
I was burning a pile near a tree line and my little nephew said, "that tree is gonna catch on fire." I told him it was far enough away it wouldn't be a problem. I didn't know it was hollow. About an hour later the tree sounded like a jet engine and there was smoke coming out a fork in the tree 20' up. Little guy is smarter than me.
Mom used to say to me you're always digging a hole, playing with fire, and or a water hose or shooting a gun. Why can't you play with toys. I was just emulating the Army movies, the Cowboy movies and water hoses are just fun.
I guess I missed where u cleared all this. An that's not like me, I usually keep up w ur videos. Man that 10 acre pond project turned out so nice. But hell everything u do is a nice finished product
Till this day I have no idea how you can work all day and still find time to edit and knock out all these flicks for the fans to view I am retired and can barely keep up with a half dozen TH-cam channels.
always look forward to your vids, glad im one of the first few to comment, also ever tried toasting marshmallows using the bucket? would bean interesting vid
I'm sure it has happened before, but I have never been or been around anyone who was in the cab of a machine during a hail storm. Granted, it was pea sized, but still a unique situation. Most dirt work, or ag work (in my case) is done when the weather is nice.

Living the dream: Operating big toys and playing with fire, totally awesome 😎
I vote for Chris & his 220 to carry the next Olympic torch
I used to burn pine slash in Alabama and Georgia a few decades ago and that stuff had so much pitch in it the stuff would almost explode in front of your face even if it was dried just a few days. The pine was far wilder to burn than hardwoods ever were. I think I burned more than a few vinyl decals off - Talk about some HEAT!
Yup, used to burn logs and other wood junk at a marina and some times the heat could be felt 20 something feet away
Lovely day for burning - fresh air, sun shining, wind changes, hail and rain - with some clearing thrown in for good measure. Good one. Just watched S.O.T. Metalworks make the grill for Barney - they are clever operators - looks beautiful on the truck.

He has more clearing to do for the landowner so we'll be getting periodic views on progress
always amazed at how quickly soil and tree clearing 'stuff' dries out for you guys.
It's all about keeping as little dirt out when raked up
At least you're not up to your ears in mud on this one. Making short work of those burn piles.

After all the dredging and mud it’s good to see the burning videos. Always enjoy these.
You need to take a dish liquid (Dawn) and fill it with off road diesel,/dyed kerosene to keep in the excavator when you are burning brush. It makes a great squeeze bottle for starting fires.
Where's there smoke, Chris can't be too far away.
I love how your so calm when that tree caught on fire..."Welp, I guess I'll just take that tree down too"!! I'm thinking "OMG call the fire dept"!!
Chris glad to see ya doing better.
These are some of my favorite videos. Operating an excavator and lighting brush pile fires. Makes me feel good inside 🙂.
HOUSTON: MARS BASE ALPHA, deploy the photo cells, Chris has three burn piles going!
MBA: WOOHOO!
I'm from Texas so big things usually don't impress me but that was one big match you carried over to start that other fire with! lol I'm impressed!!
Lol
Those fires always make for great viewing bro, sort of has a cozy feeling. Safe travels
Man, I thought it was going to take off, when it started to burn the tops of those pines !! lolol... Nothing wrong with a little Sunday burning or whatever day you done it on...lolol... Getting it cleared on off !! Great as always Chris !! Have a Great Evening, and a New Week.... On too the Next !!
It was time again for the fire-breathing dragon to do his job.
#letsdig18 you keep it simple and down to brass tacks. I truly enjoy your videos 👍👍
I’m glad to see some more brush fires . It’s been a while
PROBLEM ! Lol; Chris doesn't have problemsm he had it sorted, as soon as he saw it !
and yet another great video Chris! Thanks again for taking the time to film and edit for us. Mad respect for your finesse and work ethic!
Looking good, coming along
Good thing you keep the windows closed. Little fire and ice near the end, fabulous.
It's so mesmerizing to watch Chris light 🔥 with an excavator
I love the sound of snapping trees.
Awesome job. Really enjoy watching clean up
Another nice vid of Chris burning off the piles he's been clearing to watch while I'm in bed recovering from a head cold like he just went thru.
Another customer who's going to be happy with the job he did.
I wonder how much work he gets from referrals from satisfied customers.
Shaping up nicely Chris. Good job sir.
Hi from uk chris and all👋👍 pleased to see them piles finally disappearing👌 and a tree top or 2😂 lol pleased everything went well tho and got bit more cleared for next pile👌 and you said you wanted rain you never specified frozen or not lol 😂 thanks for your time and be safe see you soon👍👋
...brings back so many memories working with my dad and his excavation business...I didn't always appreciate it when I was a kid because I saw long hours, some bad injuries etc...I do really appreciate it now though
Well, that went fine. Looking clearer/flatter already. Hail and rain had good timing. Be well Chris. ;)
Burning is an art and you are an artist.
'Hail' to the Fire King.... :-)
Wonder if that was the same system that brought hail to Florida last week? Friend's daughter's car had 6 large holes thru the rear window and broke it out of the frame plus damage to his vehicles. Some of that hail was palm size. And he has big hands.
A farmer likes plenty of rain and sunshine if not to much or to little as long as it comes on days he has chosen
Looking good Chris 😎👍
Those Are Diamonds Falling From The Sky Chris!😁😁
Good work Chris,you still sound full of a cold,feel better soon 👍🏻
Thank you for fixing "CC". Thank you for the upload and have a good day.
That was the biggest match I have ever seen. Hope you hail damage insurance for the excavator.
Nothing like playing with fire 🔥
If this was filmed After the 10 acre pond dam fix then You sound Soo much Better. Glad that whatever bug you had has gone. Thanks Always for the content. Prayers and Blessings Always to You and Your family.
pretty sure it was after since he used the same excavator there too and the first video back here showed him shipping it in... but I could be wrong... I'm only 2500 miles away.
@@ronpeacock9939 Thanks Ron, I missed part of a video and didn't catch the shipping part. Im close to the same in distance also. West Coast.
@@ronpeacock9939 He also said he moved from the pond job to here. :)
I also invested several hours in the ten acre pond restoration. I’d like to see the finish product.
That was the biggest farmer match I have ever seen
Using one gallon of fuel great idea Watch the pennies the dollars will take care of themselves Keep up the good work 👍
Thanks Chris 👌👏👏👍🥰🍺🇬🇧
its april 10th here today and we had snow last night. funny weather stuff. have a good day cheers.
Love the burns
Hail of a job Chris! 😮
Well, here in Australia we have matches called “Redheads”, it looked like you were carrying around a giant redhead🤣 Sounds like you have nearly recovered Chris. Take care & cheers🐨🦘🥰
I believe that front came through GA on Tuesday and Wednesday. We had quite a few tornadoes. Hope y'all were spared.
I was wondering if the heat of the fire affected the hydraulic hoses around the bucket?
He's said in the past that it does not.
I've done a fair amount of burning big piles, (not as many as this at once) and have found that as long as you are quick about it, no real damage gets done to the machine.

8:20 Mr Dry Humor Love it
Evening all
You just did a ton of maintenance work on the equipment. And changed gallons of oil, trans fluid and hydraulic. All of which burns slow and hot. I always saved my used oils for fires.
Decent sized fire pile.
Next investment would be a off road fire truck. Then no worries!!! Keep up the great videos.
Looking good Chris,your getting there👍👍👍👍👍
Oh HAIL nah! That hail storm was cool.
Better go drive your truck in the trees to protect from hail. Tiki torch is the way to go.
Chris enjoy your weekend and get well.
You need hotdogs & a 60' stick!🤣🤣👊💪
Marshmallows....
We had hail yesterday. About the same size. I already had one vehicle beat up by hail. I was saying easy on the paint. Hope your luck was better.
We had about a quarter size of ice hail here in Wv yesterday
Biggest damn match I have ever seen.
Check the Hydraulic fluid
Pressure relief valve
And look in the tank to see how foamy it looks could be sucking air on a return line
All causes of a noise from the pump
Hey Chris great video 🇺🇲 as always enjoy watching another job well done 🇺🇲
Oh Hail
Was looking forward to you using those electric blowers you got … 🙏🙏🙏
I ENJOYED WATCHING THE VIDEO CHRIS 😊
I also spent several hours with the restoration of the ten acre pond. I’d like to see the finished product.
Chris has reinvented the fire stick, 😆🔥💥.
That stick has to be the biggest fire lighter !!
Around here we use old road flares to start them big piles to burnin.
Looks great Chris
How big is the pond going to be for this job after the clearing?
Glad to hear your sounding much better than you were.
Well if it's worth anything it snowed here today..... at my son's baseball game last night and it was a balmy 41F lol. Have to love springtime!!
Giving that AMI bucket a good amount of fire and heat.
We had that hail storm in WV Saterday. Crazy weather this year. But last year we had a bad ice storm. It was a big mess up here.
Chris, that was a very large match that you used, what did you strike it on. Just kidding, love the videos, glad you are feeling better.
Hail beatn off paint LOL Thanks for the fire video always enjoy those !!
I was burning a pile near a tree line and my little nephew said, "that tree is gonna catch on fire." I told him it was far enough away it wouldn't be a problem. I didn't know it was hollow. About an hour later the tree sounded like a jet engine and there was smoke coming out a fork in the tree 20' up. Little guy is smarter than me.
Lol, that’s me and my dad
Oh look, that tree is burning, I'll knock it down! No Karen supervising!
So much for the so-called earth warming !!! Rain, sleet and hail !!! Greetings from Australia
Mom used to say to me you're always digging a hole, playing with fire, and or a water hose or shooting a gun. Why can't you play with toys. I was just emulating the Army movies, the Cowboy movies and water hoses are just fun.
That little hail storm was quite a surprise
That has got to be the best way to handle a burn pile.
I guess I missed where u cleared all this. An that's not like me, I usually keep up w ur videos. Man that 10 acre pond project turned out so nice. But hell everything u do is a nice finished product
That's North Carolina weather , you can have all for seasons in a week.
Till this day I have no idea how you can work all day and still find time to edit and knock out all these flicks for the fans to view I am retired and can barely keep up with a half dozen TH-cam channels.
always look forward to your vids, glad im one of the first few to comment, also ever tried toasting marshmallows using the bucket? would bean interesting vid
Agreed, haven't watched one I disliked yet
Usually you’re transferring mud with the bucket now you’re transferring fire with the bucket
I'm sure it has happened before, but I have never been or been around anyone who was in the cab of a machine during a hail storm. Granted, it was pea sized, but still a unique situation. Most dirt work, or ag work (in my case) is done when the weather is nice.
Holy brush piles Batman it looks to be heated up around there
