One thing I like about your videos, no intro, just get right into the content. I don't mind most of them but some guys get carried away with multiple minutes wasted on intro. You have excellent content, easy to listen too, and tons of videos at a steady even pace.
It was good to see you doing some clearing again. I’ve always really enjoyed watching your clearing videos. They are my favorites followed closely by your pond building videos. They may be my favorites but I enjoy watching everything you do.
Nothing like watching a master at His craft .very enjoyable way to spend a hour ,Chris ,Clint ,and mike at the auctions in Florida fun times and very informative times
Amazing how fast Chris ripped thru 40 feet of trees and underbrush on his way to clearing that path out to the burn pile area. Nice video to find in my YT feed after drinkng a cup coffee after an afternoon nap.
I’m surprised how wet it was where your parked the equipment comparison to the section next to the fruit tree plot.put lotta work into all the clearing you have done on this project.continue on and keep doing what your doing.👍👍👍😎😎😎good video.
Maybe a good option for Betty is to take off the 4 in 1 bucket and put on a nice big root rake brush grapple combo? It would move a lot of material very quickly. Nice to see the progress on this property from where it started. 👍🏻
Not sure why it's so interesting watching you dig......but it is. Your voice over is hard to hear, but from what I can make out, you have some worthwhile observations. Great videos. Subscriber from Iowa
I remember when you first started that one, had to dig a ditch all the way threw it to get it to start draining all the water off of it !! It really has come a long way from what it was til now. Looking better and better all the time !! Great as always Chris !! Have a Great Evening, And, On too the Next !!
Hi Chris, it's so nice to see you working again. The auctions are fun to watch, but you operating your machines are always awesome to watch. So I'm glad you're home. Have a great night, and have a great upcoming weekend. Be safe out there, and God bless you and yours
I hadn’t noticed in previous videos, but does your New 220 have the same reversing fan functionality as your older one? Didn’t know if that is something that is nice to have on when clearing to blow out leaves and debris. Great video!!
The clearing from thick Wood is not Problem for You.! The Trees and Thicket to Staple to Heap for the next Perfect Fire Day. 🔥 Very good Video, gladden my of the Next.
After the Auction Holiday a Man has to do some work - ha ! Lets Blaze that Trail and use the Big Boy - broken up Brush to the Burn Pile ! It was most enjoyable to watch You work and You do not fool around - pleasure ! Cheers from Australia !!!!
Enjoy yourselves down here in sunny Florida. Although for at least 2 days it was in the low 30s for the low and almost 50 for the high. Today, 2/23/23, the temperature is hovering around the 80-degree mark. Shorts weather unless you have nobby knees like have.
Is there a preference for excavators over dozers while clearing land? I think the excavator clearing procedure is more comprehensive, precise, and produces much neater mounds; it can also remove the larger trees; but I'm not sure which is best. I like keeping an eye on the shifting visuals on the excavator's upper screen, even though I have no idea what they represent or mean. I love these videos.
Hi Chis, I have been watching your channel for years, and I have a suggestion. When you film your outside progress from out of your excavator I noticed the audio is nice in loud, then when you get back in your seat and talk, the audio is soft. Did you ever consider looking at the DJI Mic system, or maybe the Road Go To Mic system? Either one would work great for your operation. You could put your GoPro camera out side on a tripod and have the mic clipped under your chin on your hoody and now you can record your voice at the same time. I have the DJI set, and I tested it. I had my camera mounted to my windshield of my car recording, and shut the door of my car, then walked out about 50 feet, and I got perfect audio. You might want to check that out. And It would really help when in your seat, you would get way better audio. Tell Dirt Perfect as well, and all you guys. I think that would be a plus. 👍
Was there something on your windshield making it blurry? Couldn't tell if it was your windshield or my glasses...lol. Also, wanted to thank you for being an example of a good work ethic. We had a couple meetings today and then took our 3 year old grandson, Siah, for supper and couldn't even get on the way home and he says, 'Can we go home now and watch the Ecavator Guy... he loves your videos. God bless and keep safe!
I am totally impressed with Chris' work ethic, but have always wondered if he has any hobbies, or family life. Wife? Children? Hankering for pool or AR-15's? I've watched quite a few of his videos, and it seems to be non-stop work, work and more work.
looked at your equipment spread video, you have come a long way. Comment on what you think of the Takeuchi track loaders what has changed between the TL150 and the new TL12; any thing noticeable or are they essentially the same machine.
Chris, a heated and air-conditioned cab on your fantastic Cat dozer would be wonderful. I was unable to uncover any information on it; perhaps it is not feasible or available? I once heard Clint at C&C say that it would be pricey but that someone probably makes something. Aside from the rain and snow, it would be good to see you out of the smoke, dust, ash, heat, and cold. Just wanting the best for you Chris.
You've missed a golden opportunity in this video. LOL... With all that tracking you were doing, you should have done the ole, 'Ahhhhhhhhhhh' as you were bouncing down that path you cleared. LOL...
Good day, Chris pinned a comment to the top of the comments, of the fist video on this job and then someone else commented on that with the titels, and publish dates of more videos on this site.
Nope….hardly secondary. It’s a nice compliment but I guarantee you that he would find something else to do which paid if there wasn’t revenue involved.
Those type of trucks are used to haul green hopfields after it has been harvested that's why the hydraulics this way they are because they don't have the tonnage that a normal dirt or Rock truck has

I learned so much from Chris watching him for no one else does as good a job as he does and I could operate a trackhoe now
Chris is a good 👍

Nice to see some trees hitting the ground again . Can’t wait to see the fire
Enjoyed seeing this site again. Impressive bit of work to drain it and now look at it. Good looking land.
It was good to see you doing some clearing again. I’ve always really enjoyed watching your clearing videos. They are my favorites followed closely by your pond building videos. They may be my favorites but I enjoy watching everything you do.
Seen enough auctions, this is way better buddy :-)
Such a change since you drained this property. Considering the rainfall recently, it’s holding well. Take care & cheers😊
You've really transformed this property. Can't wait to see what's next! Thanks for sharing, Chris.
Nothing like watching a master at His craft .very enjoyable way to spend a hour ,Chris ,Clint ,and mike at the auctions in Florida fun times and very informative times
Not Mike he talks too much.
Gooood afternoon from central Florida! Hope everyone has a great afternoon!
Back to clearing in the New Bern area. Yes, it is lots dryer now since you 'drained the swamp' last year.
Man, the thumb of that Volvo works great!
Amazing how fast Chris ripped thru 40 feet of trees and underbrush on his way to clearing that path out to the burn pile area.
Nice video to find in my YT feed after drinkng a cup coffee after an afternoon nap.
Great job buddy and great video as always buddy 😎👊🏻👍🏻
Oh, THAT clearing project :D
Thanks for the ride along sir, always a good fire when you touch them off.
LOOKIN' GOOD, NICE WORK, KEEP SAFE...
Looks better every time you do work on it 👍😎🇺🇸
I’m surprised how wet it was where your parked the equipment comparison to the section next to the fruit tree plot.put lotta work into all the clearing you have done on this project.continue on and keep doing what your doing.👍👍👍😎😎😎good video.
I always enjoy the variety of work that you show. Not to much of one thing. Keeps it interesting.
Maybe a good option for Betty is to take off the 4 in 1 bucket and put on a nice big root rake brush grapple combo? It would move a lot of material very quickly. Nice to see the progress on this property from where it started. 👍🏻
I’m jealous watching the volvo snap those trees, I’m struggling with this little 18k excavator trying to clear and build a pond.
Your design bucket ‘eats’ trees! Very impressive.
I can remember when you started this project. What a swamp. Sure had been on amazing transformation. Thanks for sharing.
Why is watching excavator work so relaxing....?
Nice work and it’s still raining in Tennessee buckets!
Not sure why it's so interesting watching you dig......but it is. Your voice over is hard to hear, but from what I can make out, you have some worthwhile observations. Great videos.

Surprisingly dry after all the rain for sure. Wonder how many times this area for example has been cleared and will be again. Time moves on.
I remember when you first started that one, had to dig a ditch all the way threw it to get it to start draining all the water off of it !! It really has come a long way from what it was til now. Looking better and better all the time !! Great as always Chris !! Have a Great Evening, And, On too the Next !!
Think I'll make a 3 min road through the woods right quick lol big ass Equipment is nice 18!
Probably the most straightforward title I’ve ever seen on a video lol. Nice content.
Great additional video on cleaning job your customers love your work Chris great video thanks
Good video and I remember this place , lots ove water .
Have fun at the auction buddy. Hope yall find some nice toys.
Hi Chris, it's so nice to see you working again. The auctions are fun to watch, but you operating your machines are always awesome to watch. So I'm glad you're home. Have a great night, and have a great upcoming weekend. Be safe out there, and God bless you and yours
THANKS!
Chris, I have been watching your Channel for a long time and I think this is the shortest Video you have ever made, great Video.
Good day,
You may not have gone back to the videos Chris started off with in 2009,
Back then the longer format videos was like 3 minutes.
@@dewalddejager5493 Thanks for responding, TJ
Great video 👍 👍
Good morning from Australia
Thank you.
I enjoy watching your show. You have my dream job. Keep them coming

Unfortunately it does not

I’ll give you a dollar if you either don’t comment this same comment on the next vid, or comment something totally different…
Good night from Guernsey 🇬🇬.

From what you started out with bro this property is a fair bit drier. Those drains you put in sure made a difference. Safe travels
Good job

I am a bit surprised that Mr. C didn't tell you and Kevin to be quiet in the shop. Keep up the content. The shop tour was very enlightening....
Nice! Seems like you prepare an UFO landing area. 👽

Chris, what do you do with all the ash from burn pile do you spread it as fertiliser?
Snaps a 6 inch log like a match!
Have you finished the pond job you was just doing with the long reach?
You make it look so easy!

Nice job
I ran an excavator all weekend I like playing in the dirt too but this one was only 28hp
Hello from ct lov the channel
Good job brothers 👍exciting job❤
kinda relaxing job, as jobs go.
Nice 😊😊😊😊
You need to show dirt perfect how to operate
What would be your ultimate machine to own?
Enjoy the auction and some time away from the mud.
I am totally impressed with Chris' work ethic, but have always wondered if he has any hobbies, or family life. Wife? Children? Hankering for pool or AR-15's? I've watched quite a few of his videos, and it seems to be non-stop work, work and more work.
Nice job😊😊😊
Volvo everytime ❤️💪💪
Better not let Biden know about that balloon. 😆
Was this the place where the bamboo was?I wonder if it came back.
New camera, Chris? Video seems a little clearer\crisper to me along with the audio.
When I was cleaning around field edges I was shocked at how many balloons I found.
LetsClear18!
looked at your equipment spread video, you have come a long way. Comment on what you think of the Takeuchi track loaders what has changed between the TL150 and the new TL12; any thing noticeable or are they essentially the same machine.
Where has Justin been?
You might enjoy clearing these small paths out with a fun bush hog ?
That place has come a long way since you showed up and drained the swamp.
Chris, a heated and air-conditioned cab on your fantastic Cat dozer would be wonderful. I was unable to uncover any information on it; perhaps it is not feasible or available? I once heard Clint at C&C say that it would be pricey but that someone probably makes something. Aside from the rain and snow, it would be good to see you out of the smoke, dust, ash, heat, and cold.

You've missed a golden opportunity in this video. LOL... With all that tracking you were doing, you should have done the ole, 'Ahhhhhhhhhhh' as you were bouncing down that path you cleared. LOL...
good video
Look around you might find some missile fragments from where the shot the Ballon down
Good day,
Chris pinned a comment to the top of the comments, of the fist video on this job and then someone else commented on that with the titels, and publish dates of more videos on this site.
yey a baloon!! What next?
That progressive thumb is the way to go.
Waiting for the video clip of the new to you 550 or bigger to show up from the auction!! Great watching your videos
That would be awesome! I was hoping he would find a good high flow skid steer. He was talking about needing one.
Hey great video, How you like the volvo
Did that bamboo ever come back.
I still think you need a tracked haul truck 😁😁
❤❤❤
Now let's see if you find a shopping cart .
Pile would be a great place for animals and insects. No need to burn.
The auction videos have been great. Different content from my big 3.
work, work, work, all work makes Chris a dull lad. But, wait... Chris does this for fun. The fact he get paid is a secondary issue.
Nope….hardly secondary. It’s a nice compliment but I guarantee you that he would find something else to do which paid if there wasn’t revenue involved.
I watch everyday but I don’t remember this project
At least it didn’t look like a Chinese weather, balloon quote, spy balloon
💯
👍🏻👍🏻
♥️
👍👍👍
If I'm not mistaken that truck you was looking at you couldn't figure out what it was for it's a harvesting truck
If this is really letsdig18 sorry I missed your Gmail there are many different farm equipment trucks
Those type of trucks are used to haul green hopfields after it has been harvested that's why the hydraulics this way they are because they don't have the tonnage that a normal dirt or Rock truck has
