Chris is doing a great job! I made a video from our perspective. Took some more drone footage today and will post another this week. Thanks th-cam.com/video/UDDv1c45yVs/w-d-xo.html
Good 3 day. The trees to foll exact, and it a bathed in light place. The ca 100 years old Ahorn really a good decor vor a gardener! I hope to continuation from video. Greeting from Vienna
They really are great. I run these machines daily and he makes it look as flawless as can be. No extra movements very fluid and smooth but still quick and precise. I run a Volvo EC210B with almost the same bucket and thumb just two less teeth on the thumb. They are great machines. Love your videos 👍
After 25 years in construction, you lack one skill that most of the operators I've worked with possessed... An obscene vocabulary. It's very refreshing.
Hahaha. I think he learned this over time. His very early videos would be more what you were used to. Chris has definitely become much more relaxed and mellow than he was 11+ years ago. All the best for him! He will definitely live longer not letting himself get so stressed all the time! You are definitely right though. The guys I hired over the years to do work on my ranch until I retired made us Ranchers and cowboys seem quite,,,, sophisticated!!! Heh heh. (Maybe not quite, but they surprised many of us,,,,, haha.)
My Granddad had a huge Cottonwood out back of his house that was hollow rotten but still greening up every year. He decided to fill it with concrete to keep it from falling into the barn. It was probably 6' up the trunk and about 30' inside hollow filled with 20 or 30 bags of sakcrete. It stood another 20 years and the wind brought it over. The old barn went also. Grandad had died 3 weeks prior to that. The family and neighbors gathered for a big Thanksgiving feed and had a HUGE bonfire that fall, barn wreck stacked up around the trunk, burned and smoldered for 4 days. Then they had to haul away the concrete pillar that was left. Thanks for that spark of memory!
More work at the BG Farm. Glad you knocked out the air filter - it makes the engine happier. Anyone else hear the "Darth Vader exhale" when the thumb is released back? Watch how Chris pushes a pine into other trees so they tear out the top limbs and leave a mostly clean trunk. Hook those tires together with an anchor and put in the pond for 'fish habitat'. You have that Stihl throwing some big chips. Big ol` Oak = lots of split firewood. Hollow trees make raccoon condos.
Every time a tree goes down, I yell timber. Good thing I'm alone or someone would think I'm nuts! Lol. Can't get over the roots on some of those big trees! Another awesome video!!
Thank for leaving that grove of oaks. It will soften the look and atmosphere of the lot. And that hollow log. Id keep it in the woods if it was my property. Its better down for sure, but its cool.
Being in construction for over 12 years. I absolutely love this channel. It reminds me when I was on site for doing grade and all that. I love it . Keep it up brother.
I know it would be a little bit of over kill but can you imagine if you had the Volvo 950 that you just had the chance to test. All it would take is a bite in the ground and the tree would be down. That was a good video of DP, Logger Wade and you trying out that machine.
Good 3 day. The trees to foll exact, and it a bathed in light place. The ca 100 years old Ahorn really a good decor vor a gardener! I hope to continuation from video. Greeting from Vienna.
WOOOOO I at least made it into the first 50 comments for once! I love watching these videos, they help to pass the time while I am sitting at my desk and keep me thoroughly entertained. Keep up the awesome work!
Big trees! Interesting to see them relative to yourself and the chain saw with 25 inch bar. Must be hot work . You could find a black bear in there in the North during winter logging. Not fun when occasionally you hit one with the chain saw.
Should really start coming together real soon once ya get all the trees loaded out and graded out a little .Looking Great as always Chris !! Have a Great Evening , And On too the Next.....
You really don't get a good perspective of just how big those trees are that you knock down until you're standing there sawing them. That rotted one was unreal!! Wow.
Wait for it, wait for it, Timbeeerrrr; I wouldn't have it any other way. Something would be missing if you didn't say it Thanks for the great videos. John here from the back-roads of Tennessee.
that one log you can make a temporary ditch pipe on a job site .. great video .. keep them coming your videos are doing great over 500k subs ,, great job be nice if you tube would give you a mini .. lol
I really didn't know how much bigger that EC950F was until now Chris your biggest one looks like the mini if anyone don't know about heavy equipment just watch letsdig18 and you will learn more then just equipment.and just like everything else Chris this one will look so much better and different
During the freeze in Feb. a large tree down the street from us literally exploded out at the stump and branches fell every which way. The stump is hollow with very little wood on the outer rings, sorta the way that tree looked but twice as large in diameter.
I bet that after playing with that 950, getting back in the 220 feels like your in the Yanmar....I bet with the 950 you could take down some BIG trees...
I could clear trees all day long, but I'm like you in that I'm not particularly fond of running the chainsaw. I do it because that's what needs to be done.
I know you struggle to make anything from pulp wood & burning is a PITA & came across an interesting comparison today here in the UK. I was driving out for a shooting session & on the way past a recently clear felled bock of woodland, they had two huge chippers processing ALL of the brash & broken stuff straight into the backs of our equivalent of box body semi trailers. Apparently it's profitable to do this here & the material goes into digesters to make biofuels & the residue is then turned into compost for horticultural use & as a soil improver. Hopefully you'll see this come onto play in NC, generating another revenue stream & removing all the effort (& emissions) from having to burn stuff. Have a great day. Mike
@@cathiwim I was postulating it as being something which could become viable in the future. It's clearly viable to pay people here & transport the stuff 40 miles.
You say it's difficult to fill in the holes after you remove the stump when you're using the stumper attachment. It looks like you could just extend the thumb and use it to push the dirt back into the hole. It's flat and wide enough to do a good job, but I've never seen you try it.
It would be cool if Volvo lends you a Ec 355 or bigger one in same kind of job what this is. Then we can see how much faster you would do that job with bigger machine.
Chris pine needles go for about $3.00 to $10.00 per oz on Etsy.com as a health food. Just think about the value of the pine needles that you'll burn up just on this job!
We used to yell "Timber!" for every tree, shrub or bush that was being felled, and even "Timber!" for a mate about to fall off a bicycle or anything else. "But I'm not a tree!" "Yeah, but ya head's full of sawdust!" Kids are so nice to each other.
It looks some of the trees behind my house. A bunch of bird of paradise trees. They grow like weeds to about 60 ft, then fall over. The wood inside is like toilet paper.
@@cathiwim Haven't figured that out yet. Grandpa got some of them from a guy and planted them around 1940-45.The leaves are kind of like palms. He thought they would help shade the south side of the house I believe. They do until they fall over, then a big area has no shade at all.
Hey Chris, If you burn all the crap wood/ branches, roots, stumps, you know the usual pile. If you do "SIR" it will be nothing less than "SPECTACULAR", all we can do is hope!!! Later Brother!!!
Just found the Launch Pad segment from the Discovery Channel TV show Machines of Glory you and Justin were on years ago Chris, lol. Wanted to see the whole episode, but can't find it anywhere, not even to buy. Did see your team won the competition though during my searching.
Chris I take it your favorite drink is the Gin and Tonic since the Tonic(Quinine) works against malaria so one before dinner would be a wise choice. Bonus nachos, Jack Rudy has a store near you in SC.
Chris is doing a great job! I made a video from our perspective. Took some more drone footage today and will post another this week. Thanks

Chris is definitely the most skilled heavy equipment operator I’ve ever seen!!
I will love to hear what you think, when Chris is done
I don't know how I come about your channel but I literally spent entire weekend watching all your videos... Dig it!!!
Check out Dirt Perfects’ channel too :-)
@@codezero6023 thanks, I will
They really are great. I run these machines daily and he makes it look as flawless as can be. No extra movements very fluid and smooth but still quick and precise. I run a Volvo EC210B with almost the same bucket and thumb just two less teeth on the thumb. They are great machines. Love your videos 👍
We recently bought a John Deere 35G mini and I have learned so much from your videos! Thanks
With that Volvo 950 you wouldn't have to dig Just walk up and scare them trees out of the ground.
🤣🤣🤣 Absolutely
You got that right
Yea and while it’s scaring the trees it will also be scaring the ground and fall straight through
🤣🤣🤣🤣
I could just imagine the size of the thumb for the 950. Wow

@@shitloveaduck Usually it works the other way around. They come in like a choir boy and then start to speak in the devils native language
@@Ekatjam - Too true!
I spent many years working on equipment out on job sites. I watch these videos and can almost smell the dirt and trees. Great job taking us along.

I love it when you say TIMBER every time you drop a tree, it sound great !!
Big hollow centre in our country are usually in red cedar and her locks. Our oak trees tend to be much smaller. Oaks are not native to our area.
"I like saying timber!" Actually, who doesn't? 🤣🤣
Yes we all do!!🤣🤣
Next best thing to " fire in the hole"
Anyone not saying TIMPER! when cut a tree. Is someone who has never ever chopped a tree down.
@@assassinlexx1993 Timper?🤔 👀😂
Gee... this would be a good spot for the new 950F! 😂🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂
Congratulations Chris and Let's dig 18 for surpassing 500,000.

Still can't beat that big bucket for bringing down the trees vs that stump scraper
Lots of tires to make flowers 💐 pots out of them. Get on it when you get a break.
Thank for leaving that grove of oaks. It will soften the look and atmosphere of the lot. And that hollow log. Id keep it in the woods if it was my property. Its better down for sure, but its cool.
That is one huge decay column in that oak tree!
Going to be a nice site when you’ve finished Chris 👍🇬🇧🍺
Congrats on 500k subs Chris! Next stop, 1mil!
Gooood afternoon from central Florida! Hope everyone has a great day!
Sure could use some rain neighbor

Looks dry there looks to make trees come down easier you got quite a bit done today can't wait for you to get the pond started 😎
Good looking lot! Another good day Chris! 👌🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Just checked out the owners video....great to see it from a different perspective!! and the inside of the house!
with that 950 you wouldnt have to dig the trees out. just put the 10 foot bucket in front of you and drive forward.. like a bulldozer
20:00 very big trees😂👍👍
Great log for fire wood
Good 3 day. The trees to foll exact, and it a bathed in light place. The ca 100 years old Ahorn really a good decor vor a gardener! I hope to continuation from video. Greeting from Vienna.
Your work zone is always tidy!
A tidy zone is a safe zone, usually.
Great video, love the different camera angles and the exterior of the volvo in action
Wheres that 950! When you need it. Dang that was a huge ass excavator
Keep on keeping on Chris 👍. Great work as always 👍👏
WOOOOO I at least made it into the first 50 comments for once! I love watching these videos, they help to pass the time while I am sitting at my desk and keep me thoroughly entertained. Keep up the awesome work!

Heck with using that Porta thinker take that stump with the hole it behind the burn pile there's a lot cleaner that Porta pootie
Chris great job going to be one big fire. Thanks for sharing. Kevin

Congrats on 500k + subs! Didn’t realize just how big those trees were till you were standing next to them when you were cutting them up! Nice job!👍
that one log you can make a temporary ditch pipe on a job site .. great video .. keep them coming your videos are doing great over 500k subs ,, great job be nice if you tube would give you a mini .. lol
That’s why I throw some 13-13-13 around my trees every year! Keep them healthy!
I see a Volvo wheeled loader with a grapple bucket in Chris's future!!! Another great video!!! Thanks Chris!!!!
I was hoping to see something new, very large, & powerful with Volvo written on it. ..thanks for sharing video.
You chain saws are well maintained. They do a lot of work effectively.
Thanks for the saw work, that was a big hollow log!!!!!
looking awesome Chris
I really didn't know how much bigger that EC950F was until now Chris your biggest one looks like the mini if anyone don't know about heavy equipment just watch letsdig18 and you will learn more then just equipment.and just like everything else Chris this one will look so much better and different
Another great video from this project bro, amazing how 2 trees can look alike yet one be hollow. Nature is sure interesting. Safe travels up your way
The pickle fork is great for popping stumps out, but they are terrible at moving dirt.
Great video Chris 🇺🇲
Like puppy throwing around his toys
Like #306
Thanks for the video!
Life is a learning curve!
Hindsight is 20-15!
Sounds like some nagging squeaky idlers in the tracks. Like any vehicle, there's always something to take care of. Great videos as always Chris!
During the freeze in Feb. a large tree down the street from us literally exploded out at the stump and branches fell every which way. The stump is hollow with very little wood on the outer rings, sorta the way that tree looked but twice as large in diameter.
Cut that Hollow log into sections put it in the pond for fish habitat

..a big pile of toothpicks..lol..good job, stay safe...
I hear Wade is looking @ NEW improved Logging machine... starts with a V... ends with an O 👏🏽👍🏼☺️
Would like to see that big machine in the forest clearing trees or digging a pond
This might seem odd considering I have my own small woodworking youtube channel but honestly I love watching your videos Chris 👏👏

But it costs money to pay someone to run it, and you have to take the chips somewhere. Both are impractical where he lives.
@@cathiwim I was postulating it as being something which could become viable in the future.
It's clearly viable to pay people here & transport the stuff 40 miles.
Very Nice from Brasil

well done Chris
Mr Winston has a fan here in Australia
Been waiting all day for this ! Dig away....
Seen plenty of hollow trees, but none that hollow for that big.
Some big trees there

I didn't get the perspective of how big that tree was ...until you were next to it with the chainsaw, Chris!
Be careful cutting those monsters up. 😉
Looking for a big raccoon to come out of that hollow tree. Thanks for the great videos
I shot some pics of that today. I was a little scared 🤣🤣
Or a bunch of bees!!
@@cathiwim Very surprised we didn’t find that.
Gosh Chris. That’s a small bucket. I think you need a bigger one!
You throw those root balls with trees attached around like a rag doll. NO competition for the Volvo.
Chris pine needles go for about $3.00 to $10.00 per oz on Etsy.com as a health food. Just think about the value of the pine needles that you'll burn up just on this job!
you can use that tree for a temporary culvert:)
Congrats on 500K subs!
Be really cool if when you get the fire going have it burn in such a way that the flame comes up through the center of the stump....
Keep uploading the videos bro 🇬🇧
Wish I'd never seen that monster Volvo. Your machine looks small now: )
You could probably use a tub grinder

I bet Mike Morgan would get a shit ton of lumber out of those big 'ol pine trees!
I really do recommend ear protection when using the chainsaw!
Me too! .. and safety glasses. (You sure don't want to be hit by slivers of wood.)
PS. There's a comment further down where Chris says he uses foam ear plugs.
