You're ABSOLUTELY RIGHT, i feel the same way because he sounds like he was doing such a big favor to his parent's, and then he said that his parents are poor that's what he said in other's word's. I have been watching him for long time but i see that he's getting a bit arrogant, be humble God will always help you and people will love you even more.
Chris, buddy the best video of all time! I'm not a preacher, far from it but I wanna say this. Not directed to you but to anyone who reads this comment just me rambling a bit. The only thing in life that I ever remembering I wanted to do was to work on the railroad. So straight out of highschool off I go. Applied and got hired, college was not for me! My mother died when I was 13. I had to go live with my dad, parents divorced when I was two. Dad was a pure turd, he was a drunk and would beat the shit out of you for no reason. Two weeks before graduating from highschool I moved out lived with my grandmother, graduated and went to work with Norfolk southern. After being married for 35 years dad and his wife divorced, he let some hag drain him dry and I do mean dry. Dad went into the hospital October 21 2018 and died Thanksgiving night. I took vacation to spend with him while in the hospital, and was there with him when he died. I was all he had, in the end he knew that. I was left to pay for everything but that's ok. I'm not bitter, someone told me this saying along time ago and it has stuck with me all this time. "You can choose your friends but you can't choose your parents". For those out there who still have them don't forget about them, go see them and always be there!
Jason King, that is a very important message you gave there. Maybe we don't always see eye to eye with our parents, but they still need to be respected, after all without them where would we be. I spent 1 1/2 years with my Dad after I retired taking care of him and I don't regret one minute of it, he was able to stay in his home and not a nursing home. Always be there for your family, how I wish I could sit down and talk with both of my parents again.
I'm 40 years old. My dad is 73 years old. He was born the summer of 1945. My mother is 68. She still works. My dad was disabled in 1993 from bad health. I am surly blessed to still have them. God has blessed them and me all this years to have an awesome relationship with each other. I wish more folks had parents as great as mine. Chris just keep on doing what ya doing. Never forget where ya came from.
Pretty cool getting to help out your parents and enjoy some time with them. I miss mine they were good people always happy to see their son come home for a visit and bring their grandkids.
The things I've done for my parents were out of obligation, I saved the "good deeds" for friends, neighbors, and sometimes complete strangers. It is good to see you fulfilling your obligation!
Nice to help your folks, I know I appreciate it when my son gives up his Saturday for his mom and I that's why I like watching your channel , good honest down to earth guy. Keep up the good work.
Our driveway is a big 500 foot circle and my husband "grades" it with a box blade and bucket attached to an old 77 Ford 2600. He's got it down to an art :) Good job helping your parents.
There is nothing that we can do that will pay back what our parents had done for us, God will multiply a thousand time what you do for them, thank you for sharing.
Chris, Sounds like you had everything you needed growing up. A loving mother and father, a roof over your head, warm meals and a dry bed with clean sheets. What more could one ask for? You are very fortunate. As far as the latest and greatest material things, they mean nothing and will burn with the rest of mans and society's "desires". Now, I know momma fixed you a couple bologna sandwich's for fixing her driveway? Ha Ha
Great job Chris! I've never seen gravel spread with such precision from a tractor bucket. You are a true professional in what you do, and great son too!
I personally do not consider doing for your parents what they have become unable to do for themselves, to be a good deed. In my opinion, it's rightfully showing your love and respect for your parents and duty to them, for all they did for you while you were growing up and living at home under their loving care and personal tutelage and I'm sure that's the way you feel as well.
Every time I watch one of your videos, the song "Smooth Operator" comes to mind. Totally amazing to watch you work, Chris. Add to that how well your equipment is cared for. My dad taught me when I was a kid "If you take care of your equipment, it will take care of you." You clearly espouse that statement.
You really have some serious skills with that machine. Few if any people would be able to spread gravel that evenly without grading afterwards, most impressive!
Definably take care of your parents. I lost my dad 20 years ago and just recently lost my mom on January 2 of this year. Miss both of them everyday. Love the channel. I do a "little" tractor work on the side and have learned a lot from your videos.
It's a fantastic result. Good on you sir. I wish I could just see my folks again for 1 minute, let alone repair their driveway. Life's short. Enjoy your loved ones!!
Helping out mom and dad is great.There will come a day when you'll be glad you did or you'll wish you had, I like that you give your machines a chance to warm up.That makes all the difference in the life of an engine. Thanks
Oh that's nice of you. When I open up my excavation business I want to do the same as it is something that you have to do without question. I mean our parents raised us and well might as well help em out.
Im glad to see my brothers and I are not the only ones that help there parents my hat is off to you my friend nice job on the driveway even with a tractor damn your good 👍👍
Man that 5210 John Deere we had at my old job every time u went to swap out tools it was the same thing,a pain in the ass,lol,we dreaded swapping out impliments,had to manually push and slide tools to line up with the damn holes to pin it,good deal helping mom and dad...
I will not call this the "good deed of the day" but the observance of a mitzvah from the Torah for the sake of the parents who probably love you and are proud of you. This act will surely receive special appreciation and pride from all their neighbors.
I swear as I got older my tractors got taller and a few years ago, we put hydraulic top-links on every thing we could, even TnT on one, best thing I ever did. We have miles of roads to maintain.
Does anyone get a pixelated picture when Chris is moving with his camera. I have seen it on and off in this video and a couple others. It doesn't happen when I watch any other channels videos. It's like his camera can't keep up as he is moving. Just curious.
Glad to see that I'm not the only one that struggles hooking up to the 3 pt hitch. I keep a length of 2x4 handy to help pry things around that's easier than manhandling them. And I never could get my box scraper working right either. So I grade with the back blade and drag the loader set on float.
I found out a long time ago that a box-blade was not my cup of tea as a tool for leveling our driveway and dirt/gravel road, while others swear by that implement, I personally hate it. For me, a box blade implement is good for extra balance weight on the rear of the tractor and nothing more. I suppose that I was just never able to get the thing to do what I wanted it to do and that is probably my fault and not the box blades. For me, I first use a rototiller or a disk plow to loosen and turn the road's surface, then I use a landscape rake or a landscape blade to relevel the road-bed. However, I have decided that this coming spring I am going to purchase a hydraulic landscraper/leveler to replace the implements which I have been using up to now. I have recently watched at least a dozen different videos and spoken with 3 different manufacturers of that implement and I now believe that a hydraulic Land-Leveler is the best and easiest way to level any dirt or gravel roadbed.
I’ve always told people...I was raised by hard working parents, I had everything I needed, just not everything I wanted...I eventually figured out quickly I had to work for the wanted stuff. Nice work, by your folks for giving you work ethic!
Hope you guys make it through this weather that we're getting my prayers are with Chris and your family and everybody else down there hope you guys make it through the storm okay
That rear three point control is sweeeeeet! I like the compact tractor videos. I wish I had bought a cab Kubota instead of an open station. Good job helping your parents, I like to help my folks when I ca.
hey Chris, I've run a 3-pt box scraper for many, many 100's of hours doing finish grading and gravel spreading and I'll tell you - it's so much easier and does such a phenominal job when you have a hydraulic center link! You can quickly and easily adjust the angle of the scraper from cutting to floating/spreading - both forward and back - and I also had a hydraulic control for lowering the ripper teeth too! Makes quick and amazing work not only on driveway prep and gravel spreading - but awesome for sod prep too and finish lawn grading for cutting swales for drainage and yeah. Just an amazing tool when properly configured! You would be amazed! (probably change your thinking on the skidder being the best way, once you got onto it!) Regardless, very nice to do that for your folks! You make them pay for the gravel? lol
To me helping out my parents would happen as soon as I had some capacity if they needed help. Whether it was 19, 20, or 21, not many years after. I am sure I am missing something. Awesome job.
You’re a great son! I’m a strong believer in the same... our parents take care of us growing up, so in turn we owe it to them to make sure they’re taken care of!
The land plane scraper grader does a great job on the driveway. I use my box blade for ballast on loader work but I can use it on the driveway to smooth. Push the top link out a bunch and it helps if you can do it from a remote in the tractor and use the rear blades to smooth it. I much rather use my land plane though. I am thinking of a skid steer though. Harley Rakes do a great job too.
I used to hook up the 3pt hitch items like you do ...but then I learned about the telescoping feature on the lift arms (yours has this) - I suggest making use of that ...big difference, and will save your back :)
The lift arms have an extension so you don’t have to reef and pull on an implement to line it up. Push the lever down and they can be pulled out enough to go on the pin. Just back up when your hooked up and they will click into place and off you go.
Looks good Chris. Not to many people that I'll give 20minutes of my time watching them spread gravel. But I have no problem watching you do it. Awesome job again Chris and atta boy for helping your parents!
I got hired by my county public works department a few months ago and have started operating some heavy equipment. One of the pieces of equipment that I operate is a large front end loader (John Deere 910 I believe). Prior to working there I would watch these videos and be like, man that is so easy. Well let me tell you, that is much harder than it looks. I got a much better appreciation for the skill and time invested that you and other operators have put in. Something as simple as spreading rock takes a lot more skill than what most people think. Excellent job and I'm sure your parents are happy.
You should think about getting a hydraulic cylinder top link. I got one and it makes a world of difference on the boxblade. Very easy to adjust the “bite” and you can change it as you move. Best money I’ve spent on my tractor.
if you stomp down on that lever on the end of the hitch arm, the arm can extend about six inches and its all nice and loose, locking in when you back up into it or when you pick up. Gots to take care of family! good job.
Good video! I thought that was a Kubota from previous videos. Looks like the Kioti is getting it done. I have to agree my skid loader beats my loader tractor in every way.
We applaud you, Chris. It's a good thing for a son (or daughter) to help out parents in any way they can.
That’s not a good deed that’s what a good son dose ataboy👍👍
You're ABSOLUTELY RIGHT, i feel the same way because he sounds like he was doing such a big favor to his parent's, and then he said that his parents are poor that's what he said in other's word's.

When you are that good prick, you can be arrogant!
@@adavazquez3378 doesn't sound arrogant to me at all ?? 🤔
Chris's parents have a house? Really?? I thought Chris was born and raised in the cab of a Volvo excavator.
OMG thats HILARIOUS!

whether your parents are well off or not , that is the right thing to do, your parents did right by you, your turn to reciporcate!!!!!
I owe my parents everything. Im 79 and really miss them . Dad was my best buddy and was fishen partner
Pretty cool getting to help out your parents and enjoy some time with them. I miss mine they were good people always happy to see their son come home for a visit and bring their grandkids.
considerate job fixing their driveway, I'm sure it was very appreciated from the before shot, great tractor work spreading stone evenly
I really enjoyed the video, you did a nice job. Thanks for sharing !
Your getting pretty decent at that...... you oughta think about doing that for a living.....🤣🤣🤣
Came out great, I’m sure your parents are very happy with it! I agree it’s tough to go back to a tractor after using skidsteers. Nice job! 👍🏻
Good to see you are helping out your parent's good son.
The things I've done for my parents were out of obligation, I saved the "good deeds" for friends, neighbors, and sometimes complete strangers. It is good to see you fulfilling your obligation!
You gotta look after the parents
Nice to help your folks, I know I appreciate it when my son gives up his Saturday for his mom and I that's why I like watching your channel , good honest down to earth guy. Keep up the good work.
In pa, a load on a trailer must have four separate tie downs plus another on the bucket.

Good man. That wet surface looked like it was actually beneficial as it allowed the stones to embed a bit.
The most important thing in all this is MAMA happy with the finished product. Nice job they won't be on this earth forever.

Just to let you know I' live in leicester England and love watching you videos of what you do. Thank you

Got quick hitch on my blue Ford (New Hollland), sometimes I don't have to get off tractor seat to change tools, tip and tilt helps too.
This is great!! We can never fully repay the good deeds done by our good parents IMO but as long as we make an attempt!
You are a good man. Our country could use more like you. 👍🏻
Good for you Chris respect your parents and you will live a long life that's what the good book says.
I swear as I got older my tractors got taller and a few years ago, we put hydraulic top-links on every thing we could, even TnT on one, best thing I ever did. We have miles of roads to maintain.

I think I figured out how to fix it
@@letsdig18 Buy a new camera? Lol.
@@letsdig18 maybe a flakey memory card
Yes Chris's cam is causing a glitch in the matrix
no camera will ever be able to keep up with Chris' awesomeness ;p

Good for you taking care of the parents, God bless
Best investment I ever spent on the Kubota was a landpride 3pt quick hitch. Got tired of banged up knuckles. 😊
Nothing like taking care of the one's that took care of you! Great video, just watched your childhood tree video.
Good job " SHOCKER" Chris you make that look easy. I'm sure your parents are very appreciative of your work to make their lives better.
Great job well done and I bet you feel much better to have help out and repaid some of that love and care that you enjoyed in your earlier years.
Looking after the parents, good for you. ❤️👍👍🇵🇪🐕

Excellent job, you have so much skill.
I recommend a quick connect. Makes dealing with the blade a lot easier.
That rear three point control is sweeeeeet! I like the compact tractor videos. I wish I had bought a cab Kubota instead of an open station. Good job helping your parents, I like to help my folks when I ca.
How can 21people give you thumbs down when you was doing a really good turn for your parents, must be not right in the head , Well done Chris 👍👍
Because he didn't rock their driveways...
up to 68 now... I figure it's the finish grader cult disappointed in not seeing the grading work.

Chris , I put a quick attach on Kubota , quick and easy difference for putting back attachments on
Your a good man for helping the parents out and helping friends also
A sorely needed driveway graveling. Great job sonny.
Dang that's a busy 2 lane road. I saw about 5 or 6 of those little 3 wheeled cars go buy too
nice job helping mom and dad. always take care of them.
To me helping out my parents would happen as soon as I had some capacity if they needed help. Whether it was 19, 20, or 21, not many years after. I am sure I am missing something.
Awesome job.
End product looks great. Pick you up a quick hitch for your tractor. Probably the best thing I've ever bought for mine.
Great job chris you are a great operator
That was very satisfying to watch. Nice job!
Huge improvement to the driveway. Huge. Good work.
What a good son you are!
Thanks for the video.
You’re a great son! I’m a strong believer in the same... our parents take care of us growing up, so in turn we owe it to them to make sure they’re taken care of!
The ability to raise and lower your 3pt hitch from the rear of the machine is a really nice feature. Good job!

Quick hitch works wonders if you hadn’t thought of it good job 👍
It's a good thing to see the driveway straightened up and flying right.
I used to hook up the 3pt hitch items like you do ...but then I learned about the telescoping feature on the lift arms (yours has this) - I suggest making use of that ...big difference, and will save your back :)
Your a good boy Chris, well done. Blessings to you.
Good job buddy. Wish you showed more videos of loading and chaining equipment down. Always fun watching that in my opinion and how y’all do it
The lift arms have an extension so you don’t have to reef and pull on an implement to line it up. Push the lever down and they can be pulled out enough to go on the pin. Just back up when your hooked up and they will click into place and off you go.
Looks good Chris. Not to many people that I'll give 20minutes of my time watching them spread gravel. But I have no problem watching you do it. Awesome job again Chris and atta boy for helping your parents!
I was expecting to see a cleared lot......trees all removed by mini Chris and his Tonka excavator!
I got hired by my county public works department a few months ago and have started operating some heavy equipment. One of the pieces of equipment that I operate is a large front end loader (John Deere 910 I believe). Prior to working there I would watch these videos and be like, man that is so easy.

You're an artist and your brush is a loader bucket.
Nice work. It's the pinestraw that falls on the driveway that collects overtime and makes a mess.
You should think about getting a hydraulic cylinder top link. I got one and it makes a world of difference on the boxblade. Very easy to adjust the “bite” and you can change it as you move. Best money I’ve spent on my tractor.
I find it aggravating that you make that look so easy. Nice job.
Awesome video Chris. Fine job on the driveway. 👍👍👍. Getting close to 200k. I love to watch your videos. 👍
if you stomp down on that lever on the end of the hitch arm, the arm can extend about six inches and its all nice and loose, locking in when you back up into it or when you pick up. Gots to take care of family! good job.
Chris, not a good deed, it’s always about family and FAMILY is always last in what we do! Thanks for sharing brother
You've got some great skills Chris. Nice job!!
Excellent Job!
your lmc blade was made right up the road from me, at boaz, Alabama.i have one just like it.
Nice job Chris, it looks 100% better, and now you won't need 4 wheel drive to enter or exit anymore.
Nice job, looks great.
Great Job Sir Chris
Good video! I thought that was a Kubota from previous videos. Looks like the Kioti is getting it done. I have to agree my skid loader beats my loader tractor in every way.
Good video 👍. I admire your skills. With all the customers you have if you hunt you should have a lot of good areas to go👍
Nice Tractor. I have a Kioti DK40SE 2013 model, put 750 hours on it so far! It's been very reliable! Nobody calls it a toy any more.
