I only had to watch a few minutes of the video to understand how Chris feels about golfers who send their golf balls toward his work site and equipment....lol... Key point...Have some respect for the working man and his equipment. Great Quality video Chris.
As an avid long time ex-golfer, both with friends or business clients, I can tell you how low some self-conscious and arrogant golfers can be out there. Some actually trying to hit the poor guy mowing on the sidelines ! Or others arguing with the ground marshals about their loooong time putting ! Golfing, probably like other sports, reveal the true nature of people you tought as mature and honest guys. Many obvious cheaters. 😝 A lot like 45, I may say...👎
Chris. You are one of the very best machine operator's i have ever seen. Chris you make that VOLVO one super smooth operation. Please Take Care of your self Plus Be Very Care Full around all Equipment.
@@Sasquatch6987 Chris stated it's where all the leaves & detritus end up at. That's a huge amount of nutrition, along with all the other decomposing matter found in ponds. I've used pond dredging material as a soil booster for years & believe me, it's almost miraculous what it can do to near sterile clay.
I had a friend years ago he would scuba dive all the local golf course ponds and make a very good living some of them golfing balls are very expensive..
Most of those balls get given or sold to the driving range. A childhood friend of mine used to do that up in Michigan. Had to wear a wet suite as ponds and lakes are only warm in July and August.
It sure is nice to see people take pride in their work, I got to say watching you run a machine is like listening to great music great work letsdig 18... Now go and kick back and have a cold one...cheers
I really enjoy your videos and your clean commentary you are a great professional at what you do your knowledge is outstanding it is enjoyable to listen to you and how you do things and to see that you are one with your equipment is great have a great day
Chris. Love watching you work. Very skilled. I've seen a co-worker stick his head between the cab and the boom of a backhoe. He was told not too. He got hit right between the eyes with a golf ball, (he was a hockey goalkeeper). Need less to say it laid him out pretty good and we all got a Good laugh out it.
Tailgate: Need a hyd drop-down, raise up type tailgate, that's attached to the end of the truck bed bottom, and could either be left down, just making a short extension to the bed or hyd raised up as needed. ??
Nah, just put a 10 barrel air cannon on the boom, load them with 4 balls each and when you hear FOUR yelled your way, swing the boom, yell FORTY through a loudspeaker back and pull the trigger... They send one ball at you, you send 40 back... Do that once or twice and they'll quickly get the message...especially if the second air cannon is loaded with steel ball bearings and calibrated for 5 times the velocity as the first cannon... Yes, I'm FULLY aware of how Eeeeeeevil, Nasty and Sadistic that is... What's your point?
How about a sod/turf cutter attachment to skid steer, which removes sod, and makes rolls? Then you could roll sod back on the area, when you have graded the area.
When you see how you Chris graded the hillside. You be the company to do the finish grading on a new golf course. Plus there would not be any golfers landing balls in the work site. We really don't know what kind of job you have us watching next. 👍💯🇺🇲
The video to the golf course verry good. You the champion in the water if to sand or muday. And when you plaining, you the master. I hope that you in the next time a new video send. Love greetings to Vienna
I see a lot of people collecting the Golf Balls mainly for the different colors as they say some colors are hard too find. more than the aspect of not being worth any kind of money. nice work. looks good. stay safe.
That golf course is keeping you guys in business. Can't remember how many different jobs they have had you & John do over the years that you have uploaded videos on. I know it's been a few. That alone shows that you guys are great contractors, if someone uses you multiple times for various jobs around the course. They wouldn't keep having you back if you weren't.
What happened to the project that had the tall stone wall that the water was flooding over the top staining the wall red? It was also at a golf course.
I always like watching these videos and saying "why is he doing i that way?" The answer being that obviously that is the best way and I have to figure out why :D
Met a guy diving golf ponds, he made $20k from one days dives in one pond, $275k in one year! They may be muddy but there are a hell of a lot of good new balls in ponds, keeps me from having to buy new!
15.09 John shows up supporting the Jean Short mafia. It’s kinda like when you see someone in a members only jacket. You gotta ask them. Are you the last member lol.
Hey Chris is there a way to make an makeshift tail gate for the haul truck? Do you have a guy that does welding? Maybe he can figure something out that can function as a tailgate but is easy to take off when you haul brush and or logs in the back.
Our son has been an assistant course super intendant on several private exclusive courses. The memberships were between 60 and 80 grand a year. The members had a lot of fun trying to hit the maintenance crews with a ball, he said even with the cages on the equipment it would wake you up when the ball hit.
Kinda sad, I've only hit one golf ball in my life. I was in my friends backyard, and it flew down about four houses and smashed a lady's bathroom window and shower door. Needless to say, my dad beat me like an old mule, and I didn't get an allowance that summer. That really sucked because it was 1982 and I really wanted Iron Maiden's new album "The Number of the Beast"...
One of the rare times I played golf ,my mate tee'd off ,the ball went at near right angles hitting one of the kangaroos sitting by the course knocking it out cold for a good minute ,It came to and slowly moved on. Cheers from down under.
Question for Chris Guins of let dig 18, wouldn't it be easier for you to use a hydraulic swivel bucket to dig and level and grade out muddy ponds , you don't need a tooth bucket, probably get a way using a light duty bucket, and larger size bucket with more volume. This something you use majority of the time anyway, even if it's a special made bucket.???
I used to pick up a lot of golf balls every day when walking my dog in a field beside the golf course to prevent them interfering with farm machinery. As I went through them it was always interesting to find the rare ones that had logos on for businesses or other golf courses on the other side of the world. I soon realised who the bad players were as I would always see the same initials on balls.
Looks really nice yeah you can really not hardly even tell that you dug up part of the golf course and filled it back in other than no grass on there right now
I’m impressed how that much dirt can dry out in a short time.you do have a knack for getting customers with all kinds of requests for work.by the way isn’t it about time for you to be thinking about opening a Volvo dealership in your neck of woods,I can see it now.good video 👍👍👍😎😎😎

I’m sure they do they just don’t know how to hit golf balls where they want

Chris.
You are one of the very best machine operator's i have ever seen. Chris you make that VOLVO one super smooth operation. Please Take Care of your self Plus Be Very Care Full around all Equipment.
Would be nice to revisit what you achieved when it's all green again. Great job! Maybe a compilation of all of your finished works.
Agreed. Finished work images tie all the hard work together.
25:20 The golf course should store that stuff somewhere as it'll be excellent material for growing grass.
Eh, it's pretty sandy, not much in the way of nutrition for plants to thrive. Could've used it for a sand trap or a berm in the rough, though.
@@Sasquatch6987 they use sand for every thing on a golf course. What do you think they top dress with?

Another very good job Chris, 👏👏👏👏👍🇬🇧
Pro V1s sell for 3 to 4 a ball still used. Some other brands also sell for the same price
Really cool how you just read the dirt's color-texture-density and can know it's maneuverability/placement.
A Master Craftsman!
His ability to do that amazes me too
Well Done!!! Beautiful !! Like you said, "Looks like the hill has always been there"
Sweet video. Good to see you have a normal day of just chucking dirt. Bring on the next project.
That was some very fine work. Well done!
That slope will make it easier for the golfers to find water!
Grounds keepers watching the operations: " Aw geeze ... there goes the fairway." Man, you hauled a LOT of sand out of those water holes! Nice work!
Yes when I saw all that sand and the hole I thought that is going to make a massive bunker,
It sure is nice to see people take pride in their work, I got to say watching you run a machine is like listening to great music great work letsdig 18... Now go and kick back and have a cold one...cheers

Top class grading with the skid steer Chris ,brilliant footage as usual,love it always something different.
Tailgate: Need a hyd drop-down, raise up type tailgate, that's attached to the end of the truck bed bottom, and could either be left down, just making a short extension to the bed or hyd raised up as needed. ??
something you might like to cosider:tracking a single project from the initial viewing before the quotation of the job through to completion.
Glad you're back Chris. You are a living legend :)
The commentary made my day!!!!!!!! Thanks for all your vids
You always make it look so easy. Your moves are as graceful as an artist's. I guess that's why I love watching your videos.
Hillside looks saweeeeet! Nice job!
You have your game on. You know what you are doing!
Another fine video. Thank you Chris❣
Looks really good! Great execution on the minimal footprint! Win for the golf course!
Chris has a lot of balls doing that job.🤣🤣
Nice job feathering those edges where they transition to the grass, Chris. Beautiful job.
The man has SKILLZ! 😉
Chris, if anyone yells "Fore" and tries to hit you with a golf ball, you yell out TIMBER and hit them with a tree.
Just don’t stop for tee too often.
I was about to make a comment of yelling five and throwing a big rip rap rock at them, but I like your comment better! Lol
😂👍 excellent
But I have got a feeling Chris May have free membership 🤔 & if he has, fair play Chris, nice 1 👍

Another great job Chris! You really are an artist with the equipment. GROW SLOW, you may find this good advice when you get down the road.
Nice job chris im lookin atcha from over a big pond
Nice, the bucket is huge! the little trailer
Love your vids chris ive been watching since 2010 and its have been an experience
Greatest lyrical accident ever: There’s gonna be a lot of casual-tees!🥁😂🤣😂

You do nice work I really impressed it's really smooth on that excavator I don't know if that's you on the bobcat you're pretty good
You're the pond master and land sculptor, Chris!
When you see how you Chris graded the hillside. You be the company to do the finish grading on a new golf course. Plus there would not be any golfers landing balls in the work site.
We really don't know what kind of job you have us watching next.
👍💯🇺🇲
Looks fantastic. Bonus check is in the mail.
Chris love the “I can dig it out part, lol.
Looks very nice Chris, especially the hill side.
You did a great job on the slope/hill. Another job well done.
Hey Chris !!! Where is Justin & his ""SHEEPSFOOT " roller As he could really pack that down ???? Have a good weekend & ""KEEP IT SAFE ""!!!
Good job Chris , looks great nice slop to it
The video to the golf course verry good. You the champion in the water if to sand or muday. And when you plaining, you the master. I hope that you in the next time a new video send. Love greetings to Vienna
Great job! Thanks for the video!
Great video and brilliant content Chris keep up the superb work you do I love the videos 10 out of 10 from me👍
You know the summer construction season has arrived when Chris and John have switched to short pants.
And white socks !! 🤣
Turned out pretty as a picture!!!!😀
This is truly GIR Ground Under Repair. Free drop and pitch over the boom.
I see a lot of people collecting the Golf Balls mainly for the different colors as they say some colors are hard too find. more than the aspect of not being worth any kind of money. nice work. looks good. stay safe.
I love your definition of making a royal mess 🤣
Great job on the golf course and good job answering the questions before they get asked .
Send some of that excessive water west. We here in Central California could use it to irrigate the farms.
In just a few small areas do we have excessive water. NC is in a drought right now, waiting on a savior hurricane.

Very nice work on the pond looks great.👍☕️🍩
What happened to the project that had the tall stone wall that the water was flooding over the top staining the wall red? It was also at a golf course.
That was Top Golf, they postponed it awhile back. Think it needed more engineering.
I always like watching these videos and saying "why is he doing i that way?" The answer being that obviously that is the best way and I have to figure out why :D
Looks great 👍
Take the dryer stuff and run through a top dresser around the course will filter out all the golf balls as they do it.
What an awesome finish you gave it at the end Chris 👌🏻, work of the highest quality as always 👍🏻
New video idea... "Let's dig 18" where you dig up an entire golf course and make a bass fishing pond out of it
🤣🤣🤣
What are the golf weenies going to do? Wave their fancy sticks at him?
A super job, Chris, and no trees.
Not everything is about the dollar to you, it's how the job looks and what's best for the customer

Chris you good as cleaning up your own messes as well.
I bet your windshield gets cleaned before the end of day..
Great video and thanks for sharing! Stay Safe!
The Dirt Artist. Beautiful grading!
The only place I ever made a mess of 2 scoops was Baskin Robbins......rocky road 'n Mississippi mud.......
love watching you work the excavater. when will you be getting more zip-up hoodies? I would like to purchase one to wear here in North Dakota.
You are extremely talented!!!!
Enjoy your vidoes
I got a club in that pond,, should have put some stickum on the grips!! LOL

But you only made that mistake once!
@@cathiwim That's also the kind of lesson I learned. It only took one time and as I got older the screwups were farther apart.

That tottering had me curling my toes, 10:46, that must been a tad uncomfortable. :)
Dredging that pond was a balancing act while you were on the sand, but you made it look easy and the pond looks really good when you finished.
I used to pick up a lot of golf balls every day when walking my dog in a field beside the golf course to prevent them interfering with farm machinery. As I went through them it was always interesting to find the rare ones that had logos on for businesses or other golf courses on the other side of the world.

so damn smooth with that machine, I can't move a load of dirt 10 ft without spilling half of it with my sub compact Kioti :)
Perfect Chris as always 🦘🇦🇺👍
Imagine using the Volvo 950 to dredge that pond. 😆
I do enjoy the dredging videos!
Another good job done and dusted.
Looks great Chris 🇺🇲
Drove by the storage place you were working on the other day headed to Louisburg. I was telling the kids about it all excited lol
Damn that’s a nice job!!! Gotta call you
Golf ball life’s matter... save the golf balls😂
hahaha, you got the b*tches laughing my guy... 😐😐
I saw him load at least one golf ball on the truck for burial. LOL
LMFAO
Looks really nice yeah you can really not hardly even tell that you dug up part of the golf course and filled it back in other than no grass on there right now
Enjoy your videos keep up the good work 👍
Man them Takeuchi's are the best thing since sliced bread.
