I'd like to see the pond Chris built behind a metal shed where he trucked out 50K loads of dirt. I think there was an island in the middle with a sand beach. Lots of water.
You all do realize that is somebody’s private property right? It’s one thing to video an in progress job, another thing to come back to take video after the fact. It’s like your landscaper bringing potential clients to your new backyard he did for you without permission (which I had happen).
The scoop on the street is this new big hitter on the scene has ruffled feathers with the bealy good duck mafia & family & they're not happy with this wannabe takin the earth sculptor away from the bealy block , word is there's a couple heavy hitters comin down from albaquacky to snuff this wannabe & rumour round the duck pond is this smuck will be fish habitat at the bottom of the bealy good pond by the weekend .... i think im being tailed gotta go .😂
Good day for Barney clearing out the injectors with the longer hauls and more pedal use. All the idling and short hauling I’m sure has them pretty gummed up
@@kerrypope767 That is true but Chris has to pay for it up front. Until Chris gets his first check. Also it's figured into the job. It still sucks paying for it lol
🎉wow, this guy just keeps coming up with projects for you. Apparently, he has deep pockets, and that's good for you saves on moving equipment. Between him and Jeff, your year is made.
That came out awesome, the 350 definitely is a winning combination with Barney hauling, cycle times are really good with the ability to load that quickly. Love to hear and see those plans come together, thanks for the update, enjoyed watching. BTW, nice truck wash, I like it.
I was wondering how you'd handle expanding a pond like that. There is no good way to go about it I guess, get what dry dirt out you can, then the rest is inevitably going to be a mushy, muddy mess. Not much you can do about it.
I think I would have left a dam the width of the digger and dug out the dry clay as far as needed to complete the pond and go back onto the dam and gradually dig it out . 350 could reach it from both sides by the looks of it 🤔🤗
Between your work with Bealy Good Farms and this project with all of it's add ons, you'll probably be set for life! lol But that is a great problem to have! lol
The one thing I don't like is the straight edge of the pond you started on today, it would look so much better curved back and forth twice like edging on a lawn.x
@@cathiwim it’s just a thought, Chris knows what he’s doing! I’m just posting an idea! Just a nice conversation! Keep your pants on! Peace my friend!🙋🏼✌🏻✌🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸
I got a quote for about 37k on a pond dig on my property. Ended up finding an excavator on an auction site for 31.5k and since bought a dump truck and small dozer for an additional 20k. I went this route because after I'm done, I can resell the equipment and basically build my pond for very cheap, if not free. However, I now fully understand the amount of work it takes to do something like this. I'm probably a good 20 hours into the job and have only cleared the small trees and undergrowth off of the pond site. It also makes me appreciate the variety of equipment I've seen you use in other videos. Each machine does a unique specific task that it excels at, and although another machine might work, it takes a lot longer. And the last thing I appreciate is the crew doing the job. Doing this myself, I've found that operating all the equipment one at a time is not very time efficient. But I guess it's to be expected, the money I save will go to a bigger pole barn than I could have bought if I just spent the money.
Like others have mentioned, this pond looks absolutely fantastic. Would love to come fish it sometime with permission of course. Catch and release only.
@jason27swg . A cool 86 degrees here just above the 18 mile streach down the Keys south of Miami in Homestead. Plus a 15 knot wind blowing in off the Atlantic.
Having customers with more money than sense must be both a blessing and a curse. Between Bealy NoGood and this guy, it fuels your equipment habit nicely at least.
Further proof Chris does everything, and can do anything, with an excavator. Hole needs digging? Use an excavator. Fire needs stoking? Use an excavator. Truck needs towing? Use an excavator. Truck needs washing? Use an excavator. Shoes need tying? Use an excavator!
Chris gets the 350 muddy. Next video: Well, I splashed a little mud on the 350, and it just wasn't looking too good, so I traded it in for a new Volvo EC480E. This is gonna be a good little machine for me.
kind of astonishing the pond even holds water - you got to some good material while cutting the keyway with that sandy dirt you probably have at least as much volume of water as the pond as aquafer - pond level ground water under the fields
In that head area that you talked about putting fabric and clay on. What about a couple of short runs of field tile to help it drain down to the pond? Would that help? Then build back over top like you are planning on.
Well not everyone knows what you know Chris, you’ve been doing it for your whole life! So it’s comes natural to you, you dig and plan while you’re digging!
There’s always a bit of a trade off when you delegate to others. Knowing how others think and experience levels are key. It happens when growing your business. Growing pains 😉
Wow those big wet loads were moving Barney around when you were dropping them, this guy has a huge pond, love the beach area, yeah, they need a road, love the videos.
Well...that section filled up rather quickly didn't it ?....I could see the level of the pond drop as it filled... What about putting a sediment pond in that ditch /wet spot like you did at Bealys place build a narrow dam, pipe thru it into the pond, road above.
I really envy you now, i decided to digg my pond bigger and deeper, but i only have one escavator and that is as big as your smallest one (6 tons) i have been working for 3 weeks now!!! 😂 Where is my 350 when i need it!! ❤🇸🇪
Some Day you should show a comparison side by side with you standing next to your excavator bucket sizes. Just for fun or dump a load on 'Dirt Perfects' truck with each Excavator to show how fast you can bury it with each Volvo.
Have you been to the deep pond build with the island in it? The one that gets fed from rain draining off the owners building and the one that you rented the big Hyundai haul truck, I was wondering if it’s filled up yet, Chris?
That was funny Chris. "Already splattered mud on my new machine. Time to trade it !!" ha ha When Barney started tipping Kyle turned around to look. Giving Barny a bath ready for another day. Good video Chris. Have a great week.
Chris watching the new 350 and seeing size of that bucket it’s huge and you have even a larger bucket ? I hope the 350 has enough counterweight awesome machine
I remember when you made this bigger!! And threw back so many times with the 220!! 10 to 12 scoops to load Barney!! Now 4 scoops!! What a mess then!! We know what you are up for this time Chris!! This will be nice when you finish!!
I can't believe you don't have a portable pump on your fuel trailer where you can use a hose to rinse off you equipment plus it would come in handy if there was a fire.
Great job 👍🏻 2:49 I don’t know why I thought Chris was going to drink the water 😂 12:24 love how you said time to trade it love that you showed cleaning Barney
I would like to see the deep pond you dug when u had the big haul truck, maybe someday...Great Vid👍👍👍👍👍👍

@AuditRecon, you talking about the same pond. He had the big haul truck and it had a steel building in the front and it did have a island
Just what I was just asking Chris, my friend! lol 🤣😂🤣

Has anyone ese noticed in all of the 350 videos that the fuel trailer is never far away? lol

Chris said the same day or the next day after he got the 350 that she liked the fuel

I don't think the owner wants you to leave like Mr. Bealey Good 😂😂. The pond turned out amazing even before you expanded it more. Great job Chris.

I remember we use to count to 10 and 12 to fill barny up… now it’s just 4 and 5!
So true. 😊
Chris, it looks like the left rear tandem tire might be a little low on tire pressure.
The pond looks bigger and better every time you dig. Thanks for sharing your expertise! 💪
Quag and Mire Construction rides again. Fun video. Nice to see you breaking in the 350 so soon. Just think how she will do on pond clean outs.
Between your work with Bealy Good Farms and this project with all of it's add ons, you'll probably be set for life! lol But that is a great problem to have! lol

Chris has to be one of the cleanest dirt moving expert out there.
I agree with. You ❤ 😊
Smooth Operator lotsa time in the seat
That’s when you need two Barney’s hauling to keep up with the 350 digging! You fill it up pretty quick!
Problem is, you have to pay two drivers!
@@cathiwim it’s just a thought, Chris knows what he’s doing! I’m just posting an idea! Just a nice conversation! Keep your pants on! Peace my friend!🙋🏼✌🏻✌🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸
Now you need a second haul truck or a bigger one.
Chris your like a fine surgeon the way you cut in the perimeter of the pond. It takes patience as well and you do excellent job.👍👍👍
Strategic CRITICAL THINKING! Let's Dig 18,Over and over again ❤! 😮,AWSOME AGAIN my friend 😀 Thank you for sharing 😊
I'm curious why you dig from the pond out rather than starting at the flags and digging toward the pond?
Reach of the machine…..better to be on stable ground….
Machinery doesn’t like swimming.
Why didn't you leave a good coffer dam, dig out what you wanted as far as the larger lake, then you would have had dry dirt all the way?

Well now that you have a bigger machine and bucket, you might want a bigger truck. Poor Barney

Blazing hot Sunday afternoon and nearly an hours worth of letsdig, alright
Man hot isn't the word for the weather in alabama today

Customer asking if the 350 can stay at the Pond ,they might be able to make big waves with it (big bucket required)surfing USA at the beach 🏖️
Diving board , catapult , water skiing , and tubing , all with one machine .
Sketchy as all hell but a whole lot of fun until you have to dial 911 .
@@kaboom4679 Lol
A bucket with holes would be handy for jobs like this.
That was Very good Video and exited to . Need A talgate or old new truck
kind of astonishing the pond even holds water - you got to some good material while cutting the keyway

What a great land owner. This guy plays no games 👍

I kept wiping my screen to get rid of the small mud spot on your windshield.😂😂
Great job managing the muck!
If the new bucket makes it a little tippy, I am sure you could get a bigger counter weight
This guy definitely gets a customer of the year in my book
This customer sure likes keeping you busy :D Shows he likes and appreciates your product and work ethic
I think pond jobs are my favorites. You know, if that pond was in Louisiana there'd already be a family of gators in it.
Chris I think you need to get a mud bucket for the 350 Volvo
Well not everyone knows what you know Chris, you’ve been doing it for your whole life! So it’s comes natural to you, you dig and plan while you’re digging!
i bet you if you buy another haul truck it'll have a tailgate on it 😂
Old boy has a lot of 💰 that is for sure.
I hope Barney's cab is waterproof!
All these projects for one owner certainly remind me of the Winchester mansion. He's not related, is he?
There’s always a bit of a trade off when you delegate to others. Knowing how others think and experience levels are key. It happens when growing your business. Growing pains 😉
That's what you call having your portable truck wash. With that bucket, it doesn't take long to fill Barney. Thanks for the video
Wow those big wet loads were moving Barney around when you were dropping them, this guy has a huge pond, love the beach area, yeah, they need a road, love the videos.
Did I see some Deer tracks in the sand?? Another 15 feet of sandy beach=WOW great idea.
Next on the list in two years will be the Volvo 550.
With the 350 you need two haul trucks too keep up with it and the fuel right behind great video thanks Chris and Kyle
I enjoy your comments on the digging strategy. Makes more sense
Enjoyed this video and you figuring out the challenges of this project. 😊
Chris, would it make more sense to move up that ditch away from that soft spot and a bit further from the pond to do the crossing?
tiltrotator on that machine would do wonders
Crazy ya just can't stay away from mud. But it's fun to watch . Great work ethic.
Chris is definitely living the life .
He gets paid to literally play in the mud .
He is winning at life for sure .
You put a bigger bucket on that machine you're going to need a bigger truck, you probably need one already.
Man Chris I'm still in shock you hit the dump with the bucket lol guess theres a first for everything ha ha 👊👍🇺🇲
Well...that section filled up rather quickly didn't it ?....I could see the level of the pond drop as it filled... What about putting a sediment pond in that ditch /wet spot like you did at Bealys place build a narrow dam, pipe thru it into the pond, road above.

Impressive digging capacity by the 350.
Is time approaching for a (bigger) Barney Mk.2 ..... ?
Rule 1: Build a pond!
Rule 2: Make it bigger!
Have you been to the deep pond build with the island in it? The one that gets fed from rain draining off the owners building and the one that you rented the big Hyundai haul truck, I was wondering if it’s filled up yet, Chris?
Someone was making sure there bucket was locked in like they did not want to lose it in the pond or something lol
i hope there's no Fish in that pond and if there is hopefully they're on the far side away from where you're digging
Any thoughts on the driver when the big bucket of water washed the truck? That's alot of water. Chris is pretty good at this, figuring it out thing!
That was funny Chris. "Already splattered mud on my new machine. Time to trade it !!" ha ha When Barney started tipping Kyle turned around to look. Giving Barny a bath ready for another day. Good video Chris. Have a great week.
Did you use the 550 on this one? If not, how is that pond doing? Really enjoy watching your videos 😊
You're going to need a bigger haul truck!!
It’s easy to spend somebody else’s money, but I’m sure he would let you give them one make it a big one Ray from Oregon
The good thing about having good friends is they don’t tear up your equipment either. Kyle very easy on Barney when you got I’m unstuck.
Chris watching the new 350 and seeing size of that bucket it’s huge and you have even a larger bucket ? I hope the 350 has enough counterweight awesome machine

With the power and materials theres no reason you shouldn't have a 72" cleanup pail on that beast.
Another great video on this project and good to see Kyle back helping. Safe travels. Ken.
Just make your Crawford dams thicker
The cofferdam is temporary, so it doesn't need to be very substantial.
Could use an electric scooter that's small enough to clip onto the side of vehicles when working bigger sites.
I think you might need the off road truck with the tailgate
I can't believe you don't have a portable pump on your fuel trailer where you can use a hose to rinse off you equipment plus it would come in handy if there was a fire.
I do seem to recall somebody saying that ditch area really needed some field tile for drainage...Wonder who that was?
🤔 🤐 😉
Would of been cool to be standing in the cut with a boogie board when you broke the coffer dam!
How about fitting a pressure washer on the fuel trailer?
I need a pond dug
In the words of “Jaws” we’re going need a bigger Barney
The water way needs a 6 inch field tile
You're not short on power, but it does seem like too much bucket- maybe a little more counterweight?
Dry dirt in the back, sloppy dirt in the front.
Someone could waterski on that lake. Is that the plan?
I.ENJOYED WATCHING THE VIDEO CHRIS ❤😊
Great job 👍🏻 2:49 I don’t know why I thought Chris was going to drink the water 😂 12:24 love how you said time to trade it love that you showed cleaning Barney
Need a dredge bucket
good video chris i can't wait to see the bigger bucket for the 350, she moved barney with no problem at all like i said she's a beast 💪💯
You're gonna need a bigger truck.
Kinda get a little confused with all these ponds you do, are the fields around the pond cultivated using organic methods
We dont know. Not everyone uses organic methods.
with the capacity of the 350 and the scale and number of projects he keeps getting a second dumptruck might not be a bad ide´
Is it my imagination or is the Volvo 350 A little slower in its action than the Hyandai 330
Maybe you need get trailer for barnie that would be helpful in times like this
By doing it the way that your doing it you were getting depth and width just do your normal a foot Crawford dam like you usually do
Crawford dam.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Time to drill some wholes in your bucket to drain excess water. But then you can't wash your machines...haha 😅
