Thank you so much for taking my mind off my problems. My ex husband and I use to own and work in timber .so watching you take down and clear timber take me back to some very good years .
Can really see the topography of the land now the trees are cleared and see why you're putting the pond in that location. Was really difficult to see when all the trees were still there. It's basically a pond waiting to happen, just add a dam, lol.
Chris you're so cool and delightfully honest. I would not have ever noticed the "low resolution" had you not mentioned it. I would have chucked it up to the internet slowing and or mild buffering. Thank you for being who you are. I can say this without hesitation, anyone who hires you for a job should know they've got a gem of a professional operator-contractor. Thanks again for the awesome videos. I start my day with them as I prepare for the days work, it's a way of meditation and relaxation.
It’s finally easy to see just how big this job is looking at the equipment from the other end of the property and how tiny it is - seeing the haul truck look like a Matchbox puts it into perspective. Even having watched Mr. Bealy’s drone shots don’t do it justice. 😧
Chris you have nothing to be apologizing for in any of your videos they are all well done and I know it takes a lot of effort to turn these videos out so whoever puts these together for you I for one of hundreds of thousands do appreciate them, please keep them coming and we'll keep watching...
It’s amazing how your jobs look like a crew of 20 worked on it yet we know it’s just you most of the time you are one of the best operator if ever seen stay safe my friend
Exactly what I was thinking. Kevin's operating skills appear to be up there with Chris's. Just think how much the two of them could accomplish in one day.
The more I have been watching you at work on this project the more I am appreciating the scale of it. If you set light to those piles I think the ISS will see it from space.😀😀😀
Patience and being efficient always pays off. Capturing more usable land for projects always pays off. Thank u so much for video. God's blessings and be safe.
I would love to come work for you and be able to do this kind of work all day! You've made some pretty amazing ponds so far so deff cant wait to see this one start to take shape 🤘
Chris can't wait until you start barning love how big it gets. I also can't wait to see the pond fished. Be safe and prayers for your family and tell Winston I said hello. You need to do a video on him, so we can see how big he's gotten
The farm is going to look very good after your work. With a pond, lovely. Watching you work over those stumps, I would wish you a trommel to shake the dirt out. The noise would be horrible, but the results would be great.
May be hot on the D6, but it is the highlight of the video for me to be able to see and listen to it run. You are right in the 6 has it hands down on the rake, even though it’s probably like riding a sauna bath right now. Thanks for the ride along.
I look forward to seeing all the brush and stumps gone but Chris you would love to see it go faster. Diagnosing potential issues before it happens is the results of experience. Besides it isn't as costly doing maintenance and repairs.
Fantastic job Chris! I sound like broken record, but your a, "Man with a Plan" and you follow through with it. Don't kid yourself, your narration during the video's is a very important part of your great video's. Man, just when I'm thinking, "what the heck?", you pause and start explaining what's happening in your plan. Thank you again for a great video. Still setting the bar for others to try and reach.
Big job at the BG farm Chris. Just and observation… when I’ve previously stumped, I’ve dropped the dug up stump on other stumps still in the ground, which creates a harder mass to shake of the earth and slightly loosens the stump in the ground. Hope this helps 👍🏻 just keep digging 👏
Good to see the D6 back in action. That is a tool which is hard to beat. This project is one of the largest I have seen Chris get involved with, and I think that he gets a bit bored sometimes. But, at least he isn't slinging mud day in and day out.
Really cleaned up nicely,getting closer and closer till can burn and then start digging a lot of dirt…yea…,easy for me to say,cause your the one doing it.good video 😎😎😎👍👍👍
Looks like Chris is finally getting to the end of this humongous pond and pasture clearing job. Next up, the Chris's version of the burning man extravaganza and on to building that huge pond. Should keep him busy till late fall or beyond. Thanks for the entertainment on my way to a VA appointment Chris.
Great progress, Chris. I added your vicinity to my weather app so I have my popcorn at the ready when it's time to burn. That track loader is quite a workhorse. Reminds me of a operator named "Elmer" , if you're thinking of names? Ya got enough matches?😀👍
You do such fine work. Did you tell Kevin how you wanted the brush & stumps piled or is there some obscure brush burning school y'all went to?🤣Hope the rains come in when you want them and can burn soon. Looking forward to that. Thanks, Chris.
You could have the root rake modified, a upper guard so stuff can't topple the blade so easy maybe make the rake wider than the blade by 3 ft on each side, it got ample pushing power or add a stump Splitter point to make it easier to pull stumps like the site prep stumper Crews on larger operations have
The D6 is named Fred. The New Track Loader is named Wilma. The 220 is Dino The Komatsu is Bam-Bam the skid steer is Pebbles so you have Fred, Wilma, Pebbles, Dino, Betty, Barney and Bam-Bam
@@karenheartoriginal3783 officially, Betty the old track loader, Barney the haul truck and Strawberry Shortcake the mini-excavator have names, the rest is my suggestions.
Good to be able to put someone in ya digger that knows what they are doing bro. Apart from the burn piles it is all looking good too. No dust here it's been raining 16 hours almost non stop. Safe travels
I’m curious, why dig the stumps out of the pond area? Customer preference, or is there a reason for it? I’ll be creating a pond on my land soon and was thinking of leaving any stumps that would be deeper in the water and out of sight. Love the videos, btw. Watching you operate and listening to your explanation has helped me a lot. Much appreciated!
I also wondered that. Perhaps because it made clearing the brush and debris from the area easier? Still didn’t make sense to put all that time into a pond bottom. But it’s not my bill to pay either!
As a pensioner I enjoy watching the machines,well grew up on a farm too..Dislike Townes,progress impresses me ,so here's to more of your work via video's thank you smile..
Found some cool scrub clearing with D8 and a JD with extended blade widths Earthmoving Down under, boxvale earthmoving, quit impressive 😎and since I searched the trackloaders well that brought up all sorts, including yourself Chris on another 953 I think, but also the real big girls 983, they can push some earth and load. You have the farm room for more machines now.
Chris was wandering if you could save time by welding on a 3' extension to the dozer root rake either side?, an extra 6' could maybe save you alot of time and diesel???
This is a very time consuming project, the stumping has got to be aggravating. Dusty stumps or mud, which is worse? A lot of time and work either way but at least here you can use the comfortable Komatsu.
Good progress, Would like to know the thoughts of Kevin using the custom LD18 oversized bucket & thumb to see what he thinks about it... certainly a diff feel of using a cutter head all day
If you would like to see some awesome fish habitat, go watch Bamabass on youtube. The only thing they are missing is some brush growing around the edges to bring the bugs to fall in for fish to eat.
This project has encompassed a lot of great things and I cannot wait to see those burn piles go up! Can’t remember if you’ve said when the pond digging will begin…looking forward to that too! I also can’t remember equipment numbers so was that Betty you used there for a while? If not, what’s her status?
I bet it took Kevin a moment to work out how that strange fixed bucket thing works again! He'll be used to the cutter head swinging all over the place on the end of his stick.
Most loggers have a times of the year when they can’t log. Some are lucky they can build roads to there next big job…ever logging company I have worked with have excavators and dozers..the closer you can get your lumber truck to your forestry project the more money you make the less wear and tear on 500k plus equip more on your 200k equipment
Thank you so much for taking my mind off my problems. My ex husband and I use to own and work in timber .so watching you take down and clear timber take me back to some very good years .
Gotta love memories!
Can really see the topography of the land now the trees are cleared and see why you're putting the pond in that location. Was really difficult to see when all the trees were still there. It's basically a pond waiting to happen, just add a dam, lol.

Thanks again for the awesome videos. I start my day with them as I prepare for the days work, it's a way of meditation and relaxation.
You can really see the rough outline of where the pond is going to go now. More progress everyday. Thanks for sharing Chris!
It’s finally easy to see just how big this job is looking at the equipment from the other end of the property and how tiny it is - seeing the haul truck look like a Matchbox puts it into perspective.
Even having watched Mr. Bealy’s drone shots don’t do it justice. 😧
Your progress is amazing. Love watching this project come together. Can’t wait to see the finished product. Love the channel!
Chris you have nothing to be apologizing for in any of your videos they are all well done and I know it takes a lot of effort to turn these videos out so whoever puts these together for you I for one of hundreds of thousands do appreciate them, please keep them coming and we'll keep watching...
It’s amazing how your jobs look like a crew of 20 worked on it yet we know it’s just you most of the time you are one of the best operator if ever seen stay safe my friend
It must be a good feeling to step from the digger,and have a competent operator step in and be smooth and skilled 😊
Exactly what I was thinking. Kevin's operating skills appear to be up there with Chris's. Just think how much the two of them could accomplish in one day.
long project but so interesting. I think I like the pond projects best so can't wait for this pond! do love a good fire though!
The more I have been watching you at work on this project the more I am appreciating the scale of it. If you set light to those piles I think the ISS will see it from space.😀😀😀
I'm a repairman, but I love sitting in an excavator digging stumps. One of my favorite things to do.
I’m jealous of all that stump work. I love sitting in an excavator digging stumps. One of my favorite things to do.
It's starting to look like something. Great work as always Chris, I enjoy watching it all the time
Patience and being efficient always pays off. Capturing more usable land for projects always pays off. Thank u so much for video. God's blessings and be safe.
I would love to come work for you and be able to do this kind of work all day! You've made some pretty amazing ponds so far so deff cant wait to see this one start to take shape 🤘
Chris, I haven't seen you taking Winston out for his tatter tots in awhile, I Hope he's doing well !!
Chris can't wait until you start barning love how big it gets. I also can't wait to see the pond fished. Be safe and prayers for your family and tell Winston I said hello. You need to do a video on him, so we can see how big he's gotten
since when are they putting up a barn

When ever you can see the finish line in sight you know your goal is achievable !!

I love the finish line. Aerials to follow I can't wait. Looking great. Hope you have rain. Burn time.
Have you ever considered extending the exhaust stack higher on the D6 ? Maybe less noise and diesel fumes coming back in your face. Just a thought.
Really looking good Chris. Nice that you can change up your day between different tasks. Thanks very much for sharing.
Bealy Be Good. Here in the STL, we had Chuck Berry and he wrote the song, “Johnny Be Good”. 😬👍
Really shaping up nice can't wait to see the burning that's alot of brush Always a joy to watch Keep up the great work
Great to see the D6 back in action. May not be a/c comfort but it sure can push one heck of a load
I look forward to when you start digging the pond on this job.
It's looking great. 👍
Can't wait to start the new pond.
Excellent progress Chris. Take care & cheers 🐨🦘🥰
Looking forward to the pond build heat watch 👍👋🇨🇦
The dust bowl is transformed and the stumps' revenge is nearly complete. Huge project.
Great progress. Can't wait to see some dirt moving. I. Hope to see the d6 pushing dirt .
So Precise,,,! Anticipation for the Pond!
It may just be the camera angle, but that valley makes it look like you could make that pond about as deep as you want...
Really cleaned up nicely,getting closer and closer till can burn and then start digging a lot of dirt…yea…,easy for me to say,cause your the one doing it.good video 😎😎😎👍👍👍
Part of me really wants you to combine all of those piles into one megapile, and light it up.
Looks like Chris is finally getting to the end of this humongous pond and pasture clearing job.
Next up, the Chris's version of the burning man extravaganza and on to building that huge pond.
Should keep him busy till late fall or beyond.
Thanks for the entertainment on my way to a VA appointment Chris.

That track loader is quite a workhorse. Reminds me of a operator named "Elmer" , if you're thinking of names? Ya got enough matches?😀👍
Stay hydrated and keep them pores cleaned out.
Chris great video! You’re getting it done! Thanks for sharing! Kevin
That must be one expensive project. It's amazing how you make it look so good
You do such fine work. Did you tell Kevin how you wanted the brush & stumps piled or is there some obscure brush burning school y'all went to?🤣Hope the rains come in when you want them and can burn soon. Looking forward to that. Thanks, Chris.
Rain has to come now. It is time to burn some stumps.
Have you tried dropping a stump onto a stump to loosen the dirt,it might give it more of a 'thump' than the soft ground.
For an olde girl the D6 has plenty of guts! Better make sure it’s raining hard when you light that pile, it’s going to burn up in about 20 seconds!!
Still amazes me that you can find those short stumps in the dirt. Been a good series of videos so far. Looking forward to the next bonfire!!
You could have the root rake modified, a upper guard so stuff can't topple the blade so easy maybe make the rake wider than the blade by 3 ft on each side, it got ample pushing power or add a stump Splitter point to make it easier to pull stumps like the site prep stumper Crews on larger operations have
The D6 is named Fred.
The New Track Loader is named Wilma.
The 220 is Dino
The Komatsu is Bam-Bam
the skid steer is Pebbles
so you have Fred, Wilma, Pebbles, Dino, Betty, Barney and Bam-Bam
@ Jaqi Greenlees thank you for this…I didn’t realize that they ALL have names. That’s great!! 👍
@@karenheartoriginal3783 officially, Betty the old track loader, Barney the haul truck and Strawberry Shortcake the mini-excavator have names, the rest is my suggestions.
Thank you and have a great day.
Yep, looking really good. You're almost there now. You need some rain and a big fire or two. 👍👍🙂🇨🇦🌳🌲🔥🔥🔥
I wonder if Jerry fancies a busman’s holiday as he would be in his element when it’s time to start pushing dirt for both pond and pasture 💪🏼👍🏽😎
The grind, respect as that is a large terrain to work 🇨🇵
A lot work in short time frame , looking amazing
Can't wait till pond construction gets going an you get rain so we can see few piles burn.
That job is looking really good!
no stopping you lad all go amazing transformation
Lots of burning, huge area you guys cleared.
Good to be able to put someone in ya digger that knows what they are doing bro. Apart from the burn piles it is all looking good too. No dust here it's been raining 16 hours almost non stop. Safe travels
Looking absolutely awesome Chris

Looking great
Summer is here brother. We had 102 high temp today with heat index of 109. Over in north Louisiana. Bridge demolition and driving pile.
Its looking good. Sure has come a long ways.
You accomplished a lot hopefully it will rain great video thanks
Put a taller pipe with a bend on the muffler of the dozer and face it forward and make it a little quieter. 😉
What a good day. Stay safe
Looking better and better every day.
The transformation is awesome Chris
As a pensioner I enjoy watching the machines,well grew up on a farm too..Dislike Townes,progress impresses me ,so here's to more of your work via video's thank you smile..
Found some cool scrub clearing with D8 and a JD with extended blade widths
Earthmoving Down under, boxvale earthmoving, quit impressive 😎and since I searched the trackloaders well that brought up all sorts, including yourself Chris on another 953 I think, but also the real big girls 983, they can push some earth and load.
You have the farm room for more machines now.
Chris was wandering if you could save time by welding on a 3' extension to the dozer root rake either side?, an extra 6' could maybe save you alot of time and diesel???
HVAC sure does make a difference. Job site looking good 👍
Oh it's looking good Chris 👍🏻
Can not wait for this site to be completely clear so that the digging of the pond can begin and last until it starts to fill up.
Can really see what it will become. Great job
This is a very time consuming project, the stumping has got to be aggravating. Dusty stumps or mud, which is worse? A lot of time and work either way but at least here you can use the comfortable Komatsu.
D 6 still needs a chrome stack on it get that smoke above that guard rail good job on the clearing that block it is looking good
Good progress, Would like to know the thoughts of Kevin using the custom LD18 oversized bucket & thumb to see what he thinks about it... certainly a diff feel of using a cutter head all day
Some seriously hard work there I hope Jeff is happy
Our rain seems to all come during the night.
Great video Chris 🇺🇲 another job well done 🇺🇲
burn day is gonna be EPIC!
nice to know all machinery is yours
Chris, nice to see the 6 earning her keep. 👌
If you would like to see some awesome fish habitat, go watch Bamabass on youtube. The only thing they are missing is some brush growing around the edges to bring the bugs to fall in for fish to eat.
Love seeing that old iron working
This project has encompassed a lot of great things and I cannot wait to see those burn piles go up! Can’t remember if you’ve said when the pond digging will begin…looking forward to that too! I also can’t remember equipment numbers so was that Betty you used there for a while? If not, what’s her status?
She needs a toque converter.
Great video 👍 👍
Nice to see the big Cat push the piles, but we know it feels better in the komatsu. Now we see it's a huge project.
SALUDOS CHRIS. ANOTHER GREAT VIDEO AS ALWAYS. NICE JOB WELL DONE. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK. G.B.Y.
Keep up the good work .
Looking good Chris 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
i cannot wait for the dirt work on this project!!!!!!!!
I bet it took Kevin a moment to work out how that strange fixed bucket thing works again!
He'll be used to the cutter head swinging all over the place on the end of his stick.

I have been struggling keep up this week or so Chris, you have definitely been a busy bee mate, 💪👀👍.
