I can imagine how disappointed you were at losing those trees. When you were clearing, you pointed out all the trees you wanted to save, and when you did the original walk-through showing this and the pond sites how excited you were at all the beautiful trees. It still is gorgeous and with the pond is going to be very relaxing. Good job on the gate!🤣I enjoy your farm builds, thanks for sharing them.
That’s going to be a beautiful spot for a cabin, especially once the pond is full and cleared up. It sure help on doing projects on your property when you own all the equipment that you do.
I've grown to expect them, and when there isn't one I'm disappointed. There's something about Chris's content that focuses my outlook on what's important.
That's going to be one beautiful view for cabin guests once the ponds full and grass surrounding it. The White Oak is absolutely beautiful, glad you saved it. The little Maple will fill out now with less competition for sunlight. It's top was growing towards the pond because of the trees Chris took down were blocking it.
You may drop a lot of trees but you really think about it and try to preserve as many mature shade trees as you possibly can. You have thoughtfully dropped trees. You have a gorgeous farm and I cannot wait to see your cabins completed.
You could put a 100 watt solar panel on the rops and trickle charge the battery in the machines that don't get used much and are sitting outside. Nice cabin lot!
What did a man ever do before we had quick attach on equipment, the thought of having to drive pins of one attachment then move the equipment around to the other attachment and line up pins and drive them back in, makes my back ache just thinking about it. No farm video is complete with out Betty strutting her stuff around a little, always a pleasure watching sir, thanks for the update.
You might consider keeping that white oak for trailer decking, set them under the barn until you have enough to do one then find a sawmill guy and you're all set
haha I honestly did it because moving the cows over to that farm was a royal pain having to take them around up front. Now I can just open this and they can wonder over and not get in my yard lol
Nice to see the farm. Your vision, talent, and hard work is really transforming that place. Do you plan to burn the brush pile this winter? How big of a cabin will you build?👍
Hey Chris, Looking real nice! The new grass field should make your cows real happy! The cabins you plan to build - will they follow a theme? Thumbs up! Stay safe. Jim
That makes the stump removal fast when you push the full tree over because you have the tree as leverage makes it easier than if the tree had been cut down
It is looking good Chris. Even the improvements in that field is impressive. That one corner with all the rocks that was not productive looks to be producing now and the pond and cabin site look great. I might have to look at spending a few days when you get it built and listed. Living in town with neighbors is hard for me so a few days of private space in the woods near water is just what the doctor ordered. Soaking some sun and reading a book in a lawn chair is always nice when away from city sounds.
@@njonebale7889 I only have them on the equipment I don't use daily. The 955 would something I would put one on. I have 6 solar tenders and 12 pieces of equipment. If one is going to be sitting for a while I put one on it. It prolongs the batteries life and it is one less thing to worry about. They are far cheaper than buying new batteries.
Ok, take down the trees needed to put in the cabin and then plant some nice trees that will grow and give you back the shade. You have done a lot of great improvements to that place since 2017. Fourway Francine wants a new battery for Christmas. 28X40 is NOT a small cabin. Glad to see you still have Ol` Betty - thought you sold her off when Clint brought you TweeD7bird.
Yeah, I think that Cabin is going to sit in there nice Chris !! It's crazy to think back just a couple 2-3 years ago it seems like you didn't have any machines, now ya got a whole damn mess of them !! lololol... You have came a long way in the past few years Chris building up your Business, and Fleet of Machines, Great to see how far you have come !! Great as always Man, Have a Great Evening, And On too the next !!
A Weekend, and You work on the Farm. This Day the Cabin Lot clearing. The Work very good, and the Pond Shore make a good Impression. That You the Woodland clearing Falling off, to the Burn Place Drive is it. You will have the Clearest Farm. However a very good Video. 👍👌
Don't beat yourself up about having to remove those trees. As a wise man once said " You can't make an omelet without cracking a few eggs " The cabin will work that much better for you when everything is all said and done. Happy New Year to you and your family.
About the only thing I can say besides that's a beautiful spot.. I'd take those logs (and a few more from some of the other clearing jobs you do), find someone with a sawmill (like Diesel Creek Has) and cut those logs into slabs to use to use a cladding on the cabin to give a a truely rustic look that can't be beat. Not like they are more useful in other places.. and better than pulpwood too... Other than that, fun to see some of the work for yourself.
@letsdig18 If you want to add an auto reverse for your fan, we can build one that will work independently of the volvo equipment. You would just need a pigtail and socket to match the fan wiring harness and insert it between the wring harness and the fan. Cheers
Hi Chris wife and I think that is going to be a really nice spot to have a cabin Chris it’s to bad that the trees you took down for the lot could not be used for a table or bed frame or even end tables for the cabin
I here ya I live in Canada and getting someone to make a table or coffee table it’s hard It would be cool if some one could do this for the cabin it would give some history
You might try a hundred dollar investment of a solar charger for your machines they sit in the daylight always and would always be charged…just a thought brother peace…
Too bad you had to move the location of the cabin,losing those trees did make an it look a little sparse on that side of the pond.but you gotta do what you gotta do.great video.just keep doing what your doing and carry on.👍👍👍😎😎😎
always like the videos of your farm and what you are doing there, gonna be a awesome spot for the cabin, wish you would show what it is gonna look like. I thought that BIG hugh blue house was yours?? Am I missing something?? With how busy you are, wondering when you are gonna have the time to build it. Don't run yourself in the ground. God bless.
Yeah nice little job. That little cabin will be nice there. Too bad the county had to step in but that's the way it is. They want to get their $0.02 worth of it
I'd love to stay at that cabin. Have a few drinks on the porch, do some fishing, maybe some turkey or deer hunting. Gonna be an awesome place. Side note though, besides your skid steer, i'd have to say that jump box is the most important piece of equipment you own. lol
You are sure your new machine doesn't have a rev fan. Did you check with your dealer ?. It just may not be turned on. They can hook up to the machine and trun on the option.
Dang brother, imagine that. You getting to do something that you want to do. You have been quite busy lately, which is a good thing but sometimes you just need to do you.
Thank you for the video Chris, You probably know that when Clinton and Kevin brought your D7 to you, they stopped on the way home and bought a really big ladder truck from a fire department that goes up to 105 feet in the air and pumps out water on fires! I'm surprised Uncle Scott or Clinton didn't offer it to you so you can be less concerned about large burn piles getting away on you and if your cabin catches fire you can put it out yourself. You know you want one. :)
Put a small'ish solar panel on the dozer roof and a trickle charger on the battery. For about $60 you won't have to worry too much about dead batteries anymore.
What's the reason that the county gave for the cabin having to be 'x' distance from a pond dam? foundation? on piers I assume? It's not like the pond is going to burst its' banks in a hurricane - there's an overflow and a spillway for that. ???

You have come a long way on the farm. Just remembered the old burn pile site, well you were stacking up the pile. Thank you and have a great day.
You may drop a lot of trees but you really think about it and try to preserve as many mature shade trees as you possibly can. You have thoughtfully dropped trees.
You have a gorgeous farm and I cannot wait to see your cabins completed.
Great little dozer........squeeks and all. 🥰 Beautiful property, Chris! ✨❤
I agree, the white oaks are beautiful 😊
Good job as usual 🎉
As you are clearing the site now
Beautifully better than later
Thanks for posting and sharing 🙏
You could put a 100 watt solar panel on the rops and trickle charge the battery in the machines that don't get used much and are sitting outside. Nice cabin lot!
Beautiful site for a cabin😊😊😊😊😊
Thank u for views of ur beautiful farm! Enjoying plans for the cabin and future. Ur hard work is paying off. Stay safe and God's blessings.
A nice place for the cabin ....field will be nice and green too...stay safe Chris
Good luck with your new cabin nice spot

You might consider keeping that white oak for trailer decking, set them under the barn until you have enough to do one then find a sawmill guy and you're all set
He's got a friend with a mill so he's halfway there!
they are being cut now for decking lol
And hopefully some of the pine for inside the cabin @@letsdig18
Looking good @ the pond and that burn pile will make a nice newyears eve fire.
Awesome your toys are so willing to help out around the farm bro I bet Betty enjoys seeing them and gets a turn herself. Safe travels. Ken.
Pond area looks good!! Agree would have been better to leave them!! Can’t wait to see the future cabins!!
Love you boys sharing your toys when somebody comes to visit!
Love your video Chris and your farm video .
All the critics when I said put a gate in. Hah! It's a lovely gate. And so useful.
Best part of the whole video. Made my day.
haha I honestly did it because moving the cows over to that farm was a royal pain having to take them around up front. Now I can just open this and they can wonder over and not get in my yard lol
HEY CHRIS , WHEN CAN YOU SHARE THE PLANS FOR THE CABIN I'M EXCITED TO SEE WHAT IT'S GOING TO LOOK LIKE. THANKS
Chris looks like a great place for a cabin! Thanks for sharing! Kevin
Nice to see the farm. Your vision, talent, and hard work is really transforming that place. Do you plan to burn the brush pile this winter? How big of a cabin will you build?👍
28x40
Oh boy! Crunches again!! Sorry more trees have to go, but you will have a nice spot!
Thanks 👍

a bunch of dimensional lumber in that perfectly straight / no branches for 60 feet pine. use it for trim in your cabins. legacy. :)
Your little cabin is bigger than my house. Lol. It's going to be a great place for guests of LD18 Ranch.
Hello my brother from Indonesia 🇮🇩🇮🇩🇮🇩 I'm happy with your video...
Enjoyed watching the video Chris 😊
Job well done 👍🏻
Looking good thanks
I'm with you brother ...lets do it 👍👍 whatever you do is golden Chris ... love hanging with you bro
just love watching you working on your farms.. looking forward to the next video, thanks Chris
I'm a big fan of the solar battery tenders. Just plop it on the tray behind the seat and your good.
Guy has 20 pieces of equipment with batteries, how much does it cost for 20 of those?
@@njonebale7889 I only have them on the equipment I don't use daily. The 955 would something I would put one on. I have 6 solar tenders and 12 pieces of equipment.

The greatest moment in the history of this channel is when Chris realized he was a hypnotist and started putting out half hour vids like this
Well when you don’t have the dump truck handy . Use what you got like a trailer . Worked just fine
We like Betty. Seeing her in action is great. Thank you Chris.
Sorry you had to take down more trees. It is a beautiful location. Have a great week.

I'm just a bit envious that the shit that took me decades to learn and figure out you've managed to do in your young age ! KUDOS !
The farm is looking awesome compared to what you started with great job cleaning the cabin site great video thanks Chris
Same in U.K. building regulations are controlled by the county council.
Yellow cab and not looks great Chris nice view of the pond what model of jump box do you have
Ole betty still has it & your original 220 still getting it done on the home front.

Think you are going to need a garden hose to fill that pond! - lol My pond in central Ky is very low!
I just figured you were so busy on your jobs to get any farm videos Chris!
That's great. I think it's going to really look good 😊
What was the county's rationale for increasing your setback from the pond, was a septic drainage field part of the equation?
You can always plant new trees the right trees in the proper place!
Thought the cabin was gone! Nice to see it!
My wife, the amateur landscape planner, thinks you need to plant few fruit trees next spring, too.
Won't they be too shaded by the much larger trees around the cabin? Remember he doesn't want to encroach on his open hay field.
Not a good idea if the person does not have time to pick them up. It also depends on whether there are bears are around.
Hi Chris wife and I think that is going to be a really nice spot to have a cabin Chris it’s to bad that the trees you took down for the lot could not be used for a table or bed frame or even end tables for the cabin
Dont see anyone standing by to buy them, do you? There aren’t many cabinetmakers anymore
I here ya I live in Canada and getting someone to make a table or coffee table it’s hard It would be cool if some one could do this for the cabin it would give some history
Thanks Chris , that’s great plot/site for a cabin , the audio was much better in the excavator cab on this video,👍🍺👍Thanks mate 😊
It's good to see Betty. I just love that old heifer. Lol.
Finally I see the 953 at work again.
You might try a hundred dollar investment of a solar charger for your machines they sit in the daylight always and would always be charged…just a thought brother peace…
Too bad you had to move the location of the cabin,losing those trees did make an it look a little sparse on that side of the pond.but you gotta do what you gotta do.great video.just keep doing what your doing and carry on.👍👍👍😎😎😎
Place looking great. Love the music where can I get this.
I wonder if a good coat of used engine oil and diesel mixed in a spray bottle would work on those tracks to cut the squeaking down.
Chris, what brand jump box do you have
That pond can be used as a geothermal source for heating and cooling. Save many $$$$
always like the videos of your farm and what you are doing there, gonna be a awesome spot for the cabin, wish you would show what it is gonna look like. I thought that BIG hugh blue house was yours?? Am I missing something?? With how busy you are, wondering when you are gonna have the time to build it. Don't run yourself in the ground. God bless.
Initially when he bought the new part of the farm he said he wants to build 2-3 cabins and rent them out.
The blue house is his. :)
Are you having your hay field seed drilled in?
The heavy equipment packs that red clay type soil around the roots and suffocates the surface roots, which happen to keep tree erect !!!
Yeah nice little job. That little cabin will be nice there. Too bad the county had to step in but that's the way it is. They want to get their $0.02 worth of it
Yes, the good old days with Uncle. John loading brush on the trailer.😢
For the battery discharges try a solar panel charger will help to mantain the charge in them old girls
I'd love to stay at that cabin. Have a few drinks on the porch, do some fishing, maybe some turkey or deer hunting. Gonna be an awesome place. Side note though, besides your skid steer, i'd have to say that jump box is the most important piece of equipment you own. lol
Think u have a leak somewhere on the 395 cuz when you loaded the stumps you can see the front start to lower down on its own
@hippie_james?si=0TUJG8dAHH5GjA3L :
Kinda tough for it to " 'lower' itself up"!
🙂
Havent seen betty or the bucyrus in awhile good to see them both again hope to see a video again of them botb
You are sure your new machine doesn't have a rev fan. Did you check with your dealer ?. It just may not be turned on. They can hook up to the machine and trun on the option.
Good morning everyone and hope you all enjoyed your day ❤❤❤❤❤❤😂😂😂😂😂

What kind of jump box do you use? It's always so dependable.
Carslyle (NAPA) rebranded from JNC (Jump-N-Carry) OEM.
Thanks
Can’t wait to see this burn pile lit! I’ll bring the hot dogs!
Put a small'ish solar panel on the dozer roof and a trickle charger on the battery. For about $60 you won't have to worry too much about dead batteries anymore.
I'd like a comparison of the tractors that the Cats are based off of. Like, are Betty and the D6 the same basic tractor?
I think Betty is based on the d7 chassis, am sure someone will tell me if I'm wrong tho
Seeing that you just got the undercarriage replaced. How many hours does the old 220 have?
@letsdig18. One of your subscribers told me the kind of jump box you use. Do you have a model number?
What kind of jump box do You use?
A tool for every job, in the case of Chris a piece of heavy equipment for every job!!
Awesome 😎
Your young you can plant some newish trees in the void's areas when this done.
How about mounting a solar trickle charger?
What's the reason that the county gave for the cabin having to be 'x' distance from a pond dam?
foundation? on piers I assume?
It's not like the pond is going to burst its' banks in a hurricane - there's an overflow and a spillway for that.
???
Probably for septic field clearances. Public health issue
I love Betty👍👍♥️
Yeah, I think you might need a slightly bigger turbo to justify a 10" stack. Probably wouldn't help the 953 much but would look and sound fun! 😉
The Amish build some of the best cabins around and sheds that are big enough to live in.
