I really do enjoy your posts. I wish I could do that. I am 70 years old and am retired. You do such a great job and I feel like I am in that seat with you. Keep up the great work and I will continue to be with you. Thank you.
I don't know anything about dirt but it did look pretty - uniform in color and almost vibrant red . I've never seen something come out of the ground that looked like it had been cleaned / processed . Neat . 330 looks like a great addition .
Speaks volumes for the Heat retention properties of the clay when you can dig it out, transport it, and then spread it with steam still being let off. Amazing.
That 330 proving her worth now Chris, when you gonna tint the window's and put some bigger let's dig decals on her?? Thinks she is ready, great video as always stay safe mick 🤙
As I was watching Chris running the Hyundai, I was thinking back to when he only had the red excavator with the fixed thumb. He got his first 250, and then a few weeks later sold the red machine, because he didn't need two excavators. Now he has three.
Need to smile and giggle as Todd hand picks the roots as your spreading. Reminds me of the Penetrator Block Drains from Australia! He keeps saying “ROOTS!” 😂😂😂😂
Man, that 330 gets a Hell of a scoop !! And , that was nice that the clay lasted for the pad, and driveway entrances too... That clay looked like it went down pretty deep there in that pit you dug Chris !! Couldn't have went any better, now hopefully the pond site has a bunch in it, so, ya don't have to chase it around the site, making more borrow pits !! Got it all looking nice Chris !! Great as always Man !! Have a great Sunday Evening, And, On too the Next !!
At 13:40, it looks like the borrow pit, with all that "junk" fill, would be a good downhill destination for the septic tank drain field from the building site.
I have so many questions to ask, but it would take a site visit to get the answers, so I will sit back and enjoy the great videos. Great seeing you again Todd. I hope all is well.
After reading toooo many comments, I get the idea most people think the 330 buy wasn't a good idea. Does anyone understand time is money and the more you can do in that time the better the money you take home? This is simple grade school business theory! The only headache with going big is the maintenance costs as those can go up as well. If it were easy to move a larger machine, I can see Chris getting a larger machine. The transit cost and equipment comes with additional issues.
Dirt Perfect has gotten some complaints about flying the American flag on his dragline! It is NOT a no-no in the flag etiquette guideline. Consider a flag on your dragline to support DP! Those people are not fans!
What's a better way to cap off a day after being dragged out shopping with my wife than finding a new Letsdig18 episode in my feed to watch before I switch over to the Sunday night football game. Wife took off to her friends place so it's nice to sit back in my electric recliner and watch them both. She did buy me some nice goodies as a consultation for putting up with those 6 hours of male torture tho.
I keep hoping that company you designed a bucket and thumb for would deliver a little bigger bucket. With your name on it. Twould be a nice Christmas present from them!
Thanks for sharing this, Chris. You do such nice work and it's fun watching. Great to see you too, Todd. It's exciting to see how far this property has come. Can't wait until the next installment! Thanks again.
Why do you always say “thanks for sharing Chris”…the guy is getting paid from the video…sharing is free! Like “hey Vicki…why don’t you share half your candy bar you bought with me!”…see didn’t cost me anything because you shared!
@@njonebale7889 Are you always this rude, especially to people you don't know? I like being polite, it might do you some good too. My responses are public but they are meant for Chris, not you.
@@Vickie-Bligh well I am from the northeast, we get to the point. You do understand it’s a business these videos, a really lucrative business he’s developed…he’s not sharing them with you or me…that’s why I never say “thanks for sharing Chris!”
@@njonebale7889 Calling regionality is a copout. Rude is rude. I don't give a flying fuck that 'this is a business'. If you have ever paid attention to any of the interviews Chris has done, he is fine with getting paid but it isn't the reason he posts. So take your attitude and shove it. Please don't respond because I won't respond back. And if you have something to say about Chris, say it in a post, not buried in a comment.
Without going back and looking it up, was it 5 scoops with the 550 to load the offroad truck? If so, 6 with the 330 is a real good trade considering how much easier it is to transport.
By Sunrise begin You to Work. Load the Haul Truck with Earth from the great Hole, and to grade the Building Pad. Then lay You a Drain and building the Driveway to the Areal. To last fill You the hole with the Ash Mix. A Perfect Finishing. With a Interesting Video make You the Day to end. 💪👌👍
Chris, you really have a nice fleet of equipment it is has been enjoyable watching you build it I think I started watching You when you had just gotten the old orange Hatachi excavator!
It was great seeing you again, Todd. Here's hoping Chris gets lots of work and needs your help more often. That 330 is a beast of a machine. How in the world did Volvo not make sure Chris was driving one of theirs?
are you reaching weigh capacity of the haul truck or just volume?? i'd be tempted to make foldable sides that increase capacity.....8-9 scoops instead of 6-7? i've seen trucks with the lifting tailgate that stops dirt from falling off back as well
He said he got it because he had to move a bunch of dirt over his next projects. He has a pond here, 2 on the Bealy Good 90 acre project and maybe more.
How come you can grade to this level of precision without using any gps/computer kit bolted to the dozer blade. I see others using this stuff. Sorry to be thick Chris.
I haven't ran the 330l but I wanna know your thoughts on it? I have the 330 next gen cat and like it, very we'll balanced but I have a Hyundai dealer across the street from me and been thinking of demoing one.
I see your giving the home owner something to do getting rid of the roots ,Snow is already flying in the upper northern states,we got our first winter chill here in central Texas for Monday by sunday it will be back in the 80s again high today 40
Love watching all the videos! I'm curious though have you ever dug up anything strange or rare? Or perhaps any type of bones that you had to stop to see what it was? I just recently started watching your videos and love em! But it had me thinking like, "man I wonder if hes seen any human bones or anything weird?". Would be kinda cool to see the "unknown dug up stuff" if you will! Subbed!
I asked a similar question about a year ago and never really got an answer. There is good chance that Chris does not feel comfortable with revealing information on things he's found on clients sites. If that's the case, we should respect it.
@@Damoinion Ah thats true, didn't think about that and a very good point. After all he is recording on private property so I assume he asks permission to do so. I was just curious about it thats all really.
Which driver Chris or Todd. They both did a fantastic job today, getting that pad done 2 driveways and the burn piles. Sure, it seems like a good day's work. Thanks for sharing
I feel the same way as @user-hl5ul7vc8p, I'm retired and 70 but I wish I was in a jump seat with you. Back when you did work using that Volvo 550e , I was so happy I cried through all the episodes, It was amazing how quickly you could finish a job when allowed to use the correct size machine. It to me was like giving you the biggest box of your favorite candy then grabbing it and hiding it before you were done with it, such was not the case of course but if I'd had the where with all it would have been yours. But now you have your 330 darn near as big it just so amazes me with your skills how easily you can turn a drab piece of land into a thing of beauty. You are a craftsman no doubt.
It is a lot of work and pretty costly. You must live where people have way more money than sense . Here in Ohio we put our buildings on high ground (to avoid floods ) ? not half way down the hill by the swamp.
I really do enjoy your posts. I wish I could do that. I am 70 years old and am retired. You do such a great job and I feel like I am in that seat with you. Keep up the great work and I will continue to be with you. Thank you.

Consistent sub 2 min, 6 scoop loading times is pretty impressive Chris.
Got to be happy with that.
That 330 is a digging machine. Pretty cool video of her digging out the pit!!
Speaks volumes for the Heat retention properties of the clay when you can dig it out, transport it, and then spread it with steam still being let off. Amazing.
That 330 proving her worth now Chris, when you gonna tint the window's and put some bigger let's dig decals on her?? Thinks she is ready, great video as always stay safe mick 🤙
Chris: "I hope all that will fit in the hole"
Me: "I hope you have enough"

Need to smile and giggle as Todd hand picks the roots as your spreading. Reminds me of the Penetrator Block Drains from Australia! He keeps saying “ROOTS!” 😂😂😂😂
I was just picking them up . Just to give him a few minutes to get the dirt spread out so o could pack it .
You are such a perfectionist. Your work Is amazing. Lots of hard work and patience. Press on!
Man, that 330 gets a Hell of a scoop !! And , that was nice that the clay lasted for the pad, and driveway entrances too...

Those drones sure do provide an excellent platform for in air tripod shots.
At 13:40, it looks like the borrow pit, with all that "junk" fill, would be a good downhill destination for the septic tank drain field from the building site.
Chris is that a seven or eight scoop bucket?🤔🤣🤣🏁
Will or can the machine handle a bigger bucket?
That's a 6 scoop bucket. The machine could probably handle a little bigger bucket, but why puch the machine
The right equipment with a good plan gets things done, I think you found the equipment and you always have the plan, thanks for the update sir.
Looks great. Much more efficient with at least one more man. Thanks
Whoooo Hooooo I'm happy for you 😊 Let's Dig 18 ! Looking forward to starting this pond ,, THANK'S AGAIN ❤!!!
I have so many questions to ask, but it would take a site visit to get the answers, so I will sit back and enjoy the great videos. Great seeing you again Todd. I hope all is well.
First time again this morning from Australia hope you're having a great day and Monday morning ❤❤❤❤❤😂😂😂😂😂
It is Sunday afternoon. :) Have a great evening.
You to😂😂😂

There appears to be an old log cabin just across the road from where you are digging... Any idea just how old it might be ? Interesting structure...

I am thinking on the dragline is a fine place to fly the American flag. What were the complaints?
What's a better way to cap off a day after being dragged out shopping with my wife than finding a new Letsdig18 episode in my feed to watch before I switch over to the Sunday night football game.

I wish you would show us how you laid out the pad.
What with the clocks going back I can look forward to earlier episodes ........ YEAH 😁
Another great update on this project bro and good to see Todd is helping too. Safe travels. Ken.
I was glad to be back in the truck
I keep hoping that company you designed a bucket and thumb for would deliver a little bigger bucket. With your name on it. Twould be a nice Christmas present from them!

Hi Chris and Todd, you two are doing a great job. Big girl sure fills the truck fast. Thanks for sharing, and God bless you both
It was good to be back
@@Todd.RobertsNo time to have a nap while he's loading with the big digger now!😅
@@lastguy8613 no it’s not . Lol it’s loaded quick now
Great job building pad is awesome driveway looks great video thanks Chris and Robert
Great job sir,as that’s the way you do your work.great video.beautiful dirt,lucked out on that.keep doing what your doing.👍👍👍😎😎😎

I'm in my mid 80's and a retired engineer. Ditto on comments regarding enjoying watching (and listening) to you work. Thanks!!!
Could use some positive pressure in cabins for those ash loads, or is it just the intake filters your more concerned about?
Another beautiful piece of property. Nice job Chris. Have a great week.
Watching the truck n excavator at the pit, all you guys need is the sash they wear and it could be a scene outta Thunderbirds. Nice work as always.
Coming along nicely! Money buckets @ 12:23!
Nice edit @ 20:17 😁🎵🎶👍
Great to see Todd back driving. Will he be helping on the dam or are you going to push it?

That came out nice. Great job. Thanks for sharing.
Enjoy the video Chris On Pad and the Driveway Entrance and Follow the smoke .or the wind .
Another nice video Chris, as always.
Fun Music Chris. 🎶 🪕 🥁 🎸 🎶
@Letsdig18 Chris how does that 330 bucket compare to your height? I dont remember seeing your usual comparison.
Chris, you really have a nice fleet of equipment it is has been enjoyable watching you build it I think I started watching You when you had just gotten the old orange Hatachi excavator!
Pad is looking good
It was great seeing you again, Todd. Here's hoping Chris gets lots of work and needs your help more often. That 330 is a beast of a machine. How in the world did Volvo not make sure Chris was driving one of theirs?

Seems like the Hyundai is now your #1 excavator.
I said in the last vid, that Chris may have under estimated the 300 hr per year. LOL
He said he got it because he had to move a bunch of dirt over his next projects. He has a pond here, 2 on the Bealy Good 90 acre project and maybe more.
Yes, I know, but it seens to be an excellent machine for him. @@Vickie-Bligh
I agree 100%@@BensHalloween
And it's prettier
How come you can grade to this level of precision without using any gps/computer kit bolted to the dozer blade. I see others using this stuff. Sorry to be thick Chris.
I’m ready for the pond built. Lol Nice video Chris
How much more dirt can that truck haul than your standard tri- axle??
Normal dump truck about 14 tons and that model Volvo says 22.5 tons according to a quick Google search
I haven't ran the 330l but I wanna know your thoughts on it? I have the 330 next gen cat and like it, very we'll balanced but I have a Hyundai dealer across the street from me and been thinking of demoing one.
Job well done 👍🏻
A conkweet equivawent? What are you doing after work, hunting wabbits? 🤣
Boy the 330 sure dose make things faster it's almost time for a second haul truck aye mr. Chris you would never stop digging if u had 2 trucks
I see your giving the home owner something to do getting rid of the roots ,Snow is already flying in the upper northern states,we got our first winter chill here in central Texas for Monday by sunday it will be back in the 80s again high today 40
Very nice job my friend. That place is looking so much better.
Todd must be immune to the Cold!
Haven't seen your uncle in video in awhile? Hope he is doing well.
Going to be a big project
I see a new thumb purchase coming for the 330 you are using it more and more and it is a huge time saver
when i first saw that little puff of dirt come out of the bucket my first thought was "that was a queef, that bucket just queefed" 🤣🤣🤣
Amazing Video Brother.
They also prevent unloading boulders stumps concrete
Enjoyable video,thanks Chris!!!❤😊
Love your videos , miss seeing your Uncle John. Did he retire
The red clay is excellent for foundations
Love watching all the videos! I'm curious though have you ever dug up anything strange or rare? Or perhaps any type of bones that you had to stop to see what it was?

that bucket is the perfect size for that machine digging that clay type.
🔥🔥🔥 KEEP THAT BIG IRON POUNDING BROTHER💪💪💪
Yep, you need at least 2 more pieces of equipment on that job.
This reminds me of the way that the guys dig out the turf/peat here in Ireland.
Invest in a stump grinder maybe ?? 👍👍🇬🇧🇬🇧
Enjoyed watching the video Chris😊
Beautiful morning
Great work by a great driver
Which driver Chris or Todd. They both did a fantastic job today, getting that pad done 2 driveways and the burn piles. Sure, it seems like a good day's work. Thanks for sharing
Thanks . Its the first time since June that I have been in the truck
Do you have a need for the two large dozers or are you going to sell the d-6?
Howdy ❤❤❤
That 330 will sure move the dirt
In digging any of the borrow or bury pits, have you ever encountered anything odd, unusual or surprising ?
Like in the movie, Deliverance. "buried under a lake is about as buried as you can get."
I think you would be lost without Barney

Ur digging that deep cause you can with that new new 330. Don’t blame you see what it will do.
It’s kinda like a boys spank bank. You can dig it once and then remember what it can do.
Another great video Chris...stay safe
another good one Chris thank you.
good building pad and drive entrances
Chris, you'll be needing a bigger off road truck with this 330! :))
Dang it Man” You do great work!
Much sumidity on the windscreen tells a story
Today, Todd gets to hang out with the cool kids!. Chris has perfected the scoop and half. The 330 moves a lot of dirt..
"Steaming pile of...dirt" When you put it that way it does not sound like the good stuff that some people pay good money for! 😮😅
Beautiful red clay😊
It is a lot of work and pretty costly. You must live where people have way more money than sense . Here in Ohio we put our buildings on high ground (to avoid floods ) ? not half way down the hill by the swamp.
Good morning Chris❤😊have a great day
Do you think it would pay you to put a Tail gate on the back of your bumper
Chris explained in a previous video. Tailgate can block stumps etc when tipping.
You need to make a pile close to you while waiting on truck it speeds up and less movement. And you are still digging past 6 o'clock wasted motion !
Amazing job
Love the new Grand Canyon!!
That 330 is a digging machine. Speeded up your cycles a lot !!
