At least the inside of dump truck is shiny. Reminds me of being a kid way back when, digging in a sandbox. Inside my new truck, which I never put windows down the dash and door panels have sand on them, probably from just blowing in the wind.
Great views from what appeared to be just above the "elbow" and from the water's edge. And thats a great way to wash the 'vator, as long as your front window is closed. =)
He thought it through. Poured the water on the top and let it run over and wash everything down. I'd have taken a big scoop and flung it straight into the window. I would have ended up with a broken window and 6 tons of water in the cab with me.
I get you on the pump now. I didn't realize you weren't allowed to pump to the creek. We have rock and clay in Arkansas, not like that sand.... where in the hell did all that sand come from??
Yep. I'm from Arkansas as well and I can vouch for the rock and clay and the ocean. We have found shark teeth on top of gravel hills in my part of the state.
Hey Chris good camera angle from the boom. Hey have you tried the Lucas red and tacky grease for when you're dredging? I've used really good grease when just regular digging and my pins and bushings start squeaking after about 6 hours then I started using Lucas red and tacky and they won't squeak for at least a day and a half. I use the Lucas heavy duty grease on wheel bearings and U-Joints. The red and tacky seems thicker and stickier but the heavy duty has a little bit higher dropping point by like 10 degrees.
@@letsdig18 Ya I thought that the grease I was using had to be good grease because it was kind of expensive stuff @ $13 per tube, come to find out the $5 per tube of Lucas was more than twice as good.
Wet as that sand is you can dump it in a wet hole somewhere and it will dry it up and make it a solid place. This was a great video you made. That's a pretty big job you're doing
The noise that the viewers are hearing must be coming from the hydraulic pump on the excavator because when you dig with it that is when the noise gets louder.
Thanks Chris. I always appreciate your creative placement of the camera. Never boring. How is Tim doing? He seems to be silent these past few months? I know you both have been very busy and all but I really liked the back and forth you and he did. Hello Tim from Vancouver, Canada.
Well if you loaded the dry and drained sand from the day before and threw up more wet sand to dry after hauling dry sand you just might not have the muddy mess you have there pretty soon all that mud and water will make it where the haul truck will have a hard time getting through it You could spend half a day dipping wet sand and stockpiling and the other half hauling drier material. Just merely suggestions.
One thing about living there you could hand dig a well. Remember my farther doing that when we lived in Arkansas. ( kind of an old fart I was around 4)
@@johnscott2849 when they dig a well you have to put concrete culverts in to keep it from caving but you can drive a inchand quarter pipe with a strainer down and get water easy because the water table is so high
That stuff is like quick sand. It's like you have to rake 5 scoops from the same place to equal the volume of one scoop. It just keeps filling itself back in. Seems like it can only be dug but so deep. The owner should open a small sand pit on his property.
A lot of water overnight = regional water table. Settles on that in just a few hours. Friable sand is very permeable - water flows through it, and out of it, very quickly.
Chris, dumb question! Would it be better to dig a few truck loads of sand out of the water, set on the side, then fill the truck with that sand. You could dig out the water while truck is unloading. Less water in the truck, less on the drive path, less at the range. As I said, dumb question! Respectfully, Kevin
Hey Chris have a very Merry Christmas you and the family God Bless you all ... A very happy and healthy New Year and that all your wishes come true...love your videos down here in Puerto Rico.....
Nothing like having a self cleaning excavator and the bucket is starting to get shiny inside and outside plus the inside of dump of the dump truck, how many more cuts have got too make?
Greetings, I need some advise if you can. We were hit by hurricane Michael, as a result we got a lot of work where the government is paying land owners to clear debris from their land, the only catch is, you cant remove the stump to replant. I have an excavator CX250 C and a John Deere 650k. I want to be able to use a tree saw or a sheer to cut the trees down at ground level. Of course we could use a chainsaw to do the job but we are talking about large tracs. What say you? Post script: Merry Christmas!
G,day Chris , from my family to yours have a safe and merry Christmas and a happy new year, enjoy your holidays Be safe and I catch you on your next video. Kind Regards Jeff The little Aussie battler
Hi Chris another great video . that's alot of sand .and I guess one man fish habitat is another man's snag lol . Thanks for a the posts Have a Very Merry Christmas 🎅 😀😀. 🇨🇦 Craig
I was gonna say that damn sand eats those bushings and everything up.I can’t recall but,I believe we used a certain type of grease cause we were in sand for over a year with water and also gets inside the hammers even worse,big nightmare on everything metal!!! Oh and I forgot don’t get that shit on the quick connects lol.
Merry Christmas. Those stumps are going to be real lure grabbers .
I tried to advise my missus about keeping my pin well-greased, but frankly, her reply was appalling! :-O
I would love to see a video of all the equipment getting pressure washed and cleaned up.
For real, this.
@@Mephiston What?
What?
@@Mephiston No
Totally, yeah.
"Splish splash I was taking a bath"Your experience really helps on jobs like this.
Your Accuracy with Scoop is Unbelievably Efficient. I’m Convinced you could pickup a Penny.😬👍
Loved the Free Cab Wash at the End of Video. 😬 👍
The people that disliked this video probably don’t know how to use shovel
just mad that mommy doesnt have dinner ready for them
@@jessicad3013 sadly he's moved to the mountains to live off the land and trap beavers
Wait what whos running the farm now?
letsdig18 😂
I thought he didn't like beavers🤣🤣🤣
21:55 And this boys and girls is how a excavator takes a bath.
(Just like an elephant.🐘)
A Volvo Elephant !! LOL !
@@marcryvon 🤣
That's the way to quick wash the machine! On point!
Hoosier Mike Right?!? Lol
Your attention to detail is absolutely amazing.

So I wasn't going to mention it till just now that I'm watching this but the bucket cam would have been awesome on the singlewide teardown!!
That was just like an elephant splashing water on it's back to wash off the dirt.!.
Yup and throwing muddy. Key word here is muddy. Water on machine you might as well just dump sand all over it. Good choice.
@@whobee8868 It looked like he went to the canal.
He thought it through. Poured the water on the top and let it run over and wash everything down. I'd have taken a big scoop and flung it straight into the window. I would have ended up with a broken window and 6 tons of water in the cab with me.
Love the camera on the boom. Mine sounds the same way when I do that crazy how that cylinder sounds. Making good progress 👍🏻
I really like the boom mounted camera
I get you on the pump now. I didn't realize you weren't allowed to pump to the creek. We have rock and clay in Arkansas, not like that sand.... where in the hell did all that sand come from??
The ocean millions of years ago lol
@@letsdig18 hahaha

Best car wash ever!!!!!
Merry Christmas and Happy New year.
Alright, Now I want to see you do that elephant trick with the dozer. heh
That would be a bummer if there was a rock in the bucket when you splash the machine off with water. Are those factory tinted windows?
@Northern Farmer .. No Chris put that tint in when he got the machine new...
Merry Christmas to all of you.
The bath at the end was my favorite
Did you get the new wiring harness for the dump? Great camera angle when you drown the stump, but go slow, it's a real barf angle😳
22:00 now that’s how wash a trackhoe lol 😂!!!
And I know that mud on that 220 is tearing your nerves up
That was the 250 the windows on the 220 are really dark you can barely see him.
I can’t keep them apart except the 160
On the bright side they don’t need rain water to fill that pond up😁
Merry Christmas
Stay safe

How does that pond hold water with a sandy bottom, most if not all here in Alabama need a red clay bottom to hold any.
The water that you're seeing is coming up through the ground, that's the water table(sub water or aquifer).
@@clydeacor1911 now I understand. Have seen artisan wells fill a newly dug pond in a few hours lol. I am not an operator just a fan.
The water table is just that high there
30 years time, Chris returns to dredge the sand silted pond and finds all sorts of crap in the bottom of it!

You need to secretly install a train horn on your machine and mess with Tim when you’re loading.
Chris I would think that sand would be hard on the track rollers and pins too.
Now that’s what I call washing your machine.👍
nice work buddy as always !!! happy holidays !!!!
...GOOD JOB..A VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU AND YOUR'S..
I'm so jealous, wish I had that rif,e range holysmokes .
Wet as that sand is you can dump it in a wet hole somewhere and it will dry it up and make it a solid place. This was a great video you made. That's a pretty big job you're doing
Sandy Berms or Bermie Sanders? Great vid as usual, Chris. Thanks.

its being worked on this weekend

Self cleaning??? How?? Oh yeah by throwing sandy water all over it that’s right I forgot
@@whobee8868 check where he was he was at the canal where the water is clear.

Chris, Rock truck going to need a spray down after that Schlop !!
This may be a question that has been asked many times before but 'how long does it take for the water to become clear?'
Happy holidays.
I knew you weren't pressure washing that machine everyday

Nice wash job. That is a wet liquid sand. 👍☕️🍩
Yeah liquid sand being tossed onto the excavator. Wise choice
The water was from the canal, not the pond.
Have a feeling Chris will need to see a dentist after this job from grinding his teeth a bit each time the excavator gets splashed with mud, lol.
Great video and great camera wiew to.A bit noisy bit great wiew.

Who needs window cleaner when ya gott'a big bucket of water so handy
That's what you call an excavator's car wash!
Hard to believe the water table is only 2 feet below grade there!
now that's the way to give 220E a bath. question: have you ever forgot and left the front window open? hahaha
Good camera views 👍
That sand looks like it's close to the neuse river
cool

Your machine bathing technique reminds me how an elephant does it.
Chris what part of the Carolinas is this? I live near Ft.Bragg
Guess that is one way to wash a windshield............
How big is that piece of property?
Enjoy the video Chris and little Tim .
I do have to say this is the messiest job you have done in a long time
Is the excavator ok, it seems or be making a noise i haven't heard before? Keep up the goo dwork Chris, love the videos.
Could you start doing Facebook videos to that would be awesome
Stupid thing to say but I can’t find the video when u bought that digger

Call a mobile Automobile Detail have them give the Volvo a wash and wax!
Did Volvo come by and fix the dump truck yet
Didn't sound like it. You would think a channel that gives them a lot of "airtime" would be treated better..
Chris said that Volvo are working on it this weekend. Apparently!!
You will be back there again in 10 years (or sooner) digging sand out of that pond.
letsdig18 excavating and equipment washing.
Yeah and hopefully you don’t grab up a small rock and put it threw the windshield
You think rocks float?
Did you call yourself washing the excavator at the end of the video
Are the hydraulics mad about something? Seems a bit loud?
im not sure why the camera makes them sound so loud
Probably the mic is real sensitive in that frequency range.
Mic pick up these sound, never so loud.....
I think the Volvo is pretty quite. Listened to a John Deere n it was twice as loud.
Is it just me or has that machines pump started making more noise than usual?
its the camera
At least I wasn't the only one thinking that.
@@letsdig18 a better magnet/mount is a lot cheeper than an hydraulic service, that's for damn sure. \o/
