    Hello Chris . My husband who is 44yr old operated equipment for 28 yr . But in 2018 he had a stroke and it caused brain damage and left him in a mental state. So he can't work anymore. I put your videos also other creators on for him to keep him entertained. He watches every one of your videos several times. Keeps him smiling . So thank you Chris for entertaining him. Blessings to you and your family

      I've been fascinated by some of these videos and it's not just because I enjoy seeing work being done or dirt moved around. It's clear that the operator has learned to engage his mind to understand the three-dimensional forces affecting his work and the machine, sometimes solving pretty complex puzzles to do the work. So I suspect that you, in providing your husband with these videos, are not only keeping him entertained but also helping his brain into figuring out how to work around some of the damage caused by the stroke. Good for you!

      Quick-clay is perhaps the most scary one. This one was filmed in Alta, Norway last summer where luckily no one was killed: th-cam.com/video/VWOsGjJo_oI/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=AroundNijkerk. There also was one this jan. 3rd at Gjerdrum where 10 people lost their lives when a quick-clay landslide took out a part of a village. It's stable until disturbed, then it just liquefies as this demo shows: th-cam.com/video/p12DHwA566Y/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=NVE.

Never felt the machine sink, guess I sat there too long. I promptly backed out and decided "Nope...central VA is too far for Chris to drive to get this outta here." When I get brave again I'm cutting logs and taking with me...when it's very very dry.

    I just realized that excavators can use their two treads combined with the arm and bucket to climb in a similar way that parrots use their feet combined with their neck and beak. That's why this talented operator will someday be able to climb a tree with his excavator, if he can ever find a tree big enough and with the kind of branches his beak... I mean bucket... can grab onto.

    I ran off a public ditch about 6 feet on either side in my dads backhoe, called my uncle with about 40 years of driving behind him and he had it out in about 10 min. Up until then I was proud of my driving.

    well at least he knew his limit and stopped when he did and of course, great skill on saving it. Working at an equipment rental place, watching some of the things you do really helps.

    Spring thaw mud = always use railroad ties or you will get stuck. Lucky for them the rescue is as smooth as a surgeon with an excavator.

    You've got 811 (call before you dig). You've got 911 (when you've really messed up and not even Chris can fix it). Now we've got LD18 for the times they picked the wrong operator. Chris to the rescue. 👍👍

    Okay I admit there was a moment I thought "Maybe this underpowered shovel will not come out without a bit of extra help" but then you just had to go prove me wrong again :P

      Yep, there are some guys on TH-cam that you just shouldn't bet against.

    reminds me of pictures of them building the AlCan highway. Bury one dozer and build the road right over top of it. One man's panic is another man's dinner. Nice work Chris.

    Lucky it was a compact radius machine or that stump would’ve made the task a lot harder. Nice trick of powering the tracks whilst powering down on the boom to raise the machine. (You get the higher track circuit pressure 😉).

    We sank an excavator about every third day in northern New York. 60’ big sticks. Clay was like Jello when you got into it. Mostly got them out right away but One we had to leave for six weeks. Had to mix cement into the muck to get it firm enough to scoop it out and then extract the excavator.

    You are a artist with equipment like that. Absolutely amazing what you do. You must have started very young.

    Again, Chris has problem solving skills and experience that are quite phenomenal. Even managing sinking conduit under multiple wires.

    I just watched, shes a dirty double wide. When you started bouncing on the trampoline I laughed so hard I almost fell outta my chair. Great sense of humor. Thank you Chris.

    He rescues burning landfills, he saves excavators in distress. I imagine he leaps from tall buildings and is faster than a speeding bullet too.

    A friend of mine showed me a picture of a supposedly he said was a Caterpillar D11 (This was him explaining what kind and the Construction Co. he was working with.) There was a Landslide in the area of the Construction one night and when they showed up the next morning all you could see were the exhaust and part of the Cab. Supposedly he said all the had to do was get the dirt away from it and pull it out that it wasn't damaged because how well it was designed.

    Wow. Little smarts go’s a long way. When we uses to go 4 wheeling always made sure we had off road jack, and a chainsaw.

    I wasn't stuck until I was stuck...yep, that's the kind of muck, just enough clay to stick...you can be walking in a little mud, and next step, sink ankle deep, it will pull your shoe or even boot off trying pull it out balanced on one foot, pretty much always going to have to step down on your sock to keep from falling...if you are real unlucky the other foot has now also sunk...and it never looks that bad!

    When you get stuck enough times you get to be pretty good at getting unstuck. I got good at rescuing stuck forklifts.

    #1 - don`t plan on the ground being hard with snow cover, #2 - don`t get out and work in freezing temperature unless you 'Really' have to, #3 - If you plan to get a machine stuck make sure you have Letsdig18 on speed dial FIRST.

    LOL Look at that thing. I really wish people would leave the work to the professionals. That excavator should not even have tried to get in that mud until it got cold . That poor lil excavator. Chris to the rescue....Again
