OMG have never seen you so dirty - it's called transference! Great to see the ponds gradually filling - valuable water source in dry times and pasture improvement.
Yuppers, that sure turned out to be a couple of beautiful ponds..they're going to look stunningly beautiful once the grass gets mowable size and the ponds filled up. Some good fishin' will take place in them.
Enjoy watching these pond build with the 550 it moved some dirt. Get you a rain suit when you do a pressure washing of the equipment thanks for the videos
This was a fun follow-up, Chris. I love watching you work. Your economy of motion, the ease with that you do things is like watching a conductor lead an orchestra without all the arm gyrations! Thank you for sharing with us all. Have a good day.
You realize how deep it is when you see a tiny person standing down in there. When I used to jump out of planes you didn't realize how high you were until you saw a car or something to give perspective. Can't wait to see it full.
Beautiful work Chris, man them 2 pond dams are impressive looking, the long sweeping look is damn cool looking, thanks for sharing your work all the time, I look forward to seeing the next video 💪🇺🇲🤙✊👌
Some of favourite clips are where you do the finesse thingy when filling around pipe; kind of like you're sprinkling nuggets of sea salt around the fish in the deep pan. Great vid.
He seems to be able to help as that 220 is his. That is a situation that can work well as long as the hired gun is calling the shots. Otherwise the owner is just going to be in the way.
Both ponds sure made for great viewing bro. Sure is a big digger when it comes to transporting it if when it arrived is anything to go by. Safe travels
Yeah the ponds turned out really good. Won't take long. I hope you do a follow-up on them. You've been doing that on the other ones which is good to see. Looking forward to your next job. 👍👍🙂🇨🇦
Oh so nice to see a tailgate waterfall. Mr. David has some nice ponds!! Good that the Beast got cleaned off- not good to return "a loaner" back with lots of mud and dirt. Yes, half the dirt and water gets on you using a pressure washer - just imagine getting soaked washing porch ceilings.
Dammit Man !! Lolol... Those are 2 Big Dams/Ponds.... And they both turned out really nice too!! Looks like the pressure washer about got the best of ya there Chris !! lololol... Really no way to keep from getting wet washing off those machines, shit just flies back on ya at every turn !! lolol... Well, another job very well done Man, that was a good one to watch, with the 550 in action !! That Bad Boy can flat out move some dirt now !! lol... Great as always Chris !! Have a Great Evening, And, as always !! ON too the Next...
Damn Chris, it's going to be hard not thinking of that beast of a machine that 550 is a beautiful young lady she will be missed by all, especially you. The ponds look perfect. You do such a nice job. The best there is, no one better than you. Thank you for sharing your life and work with me. Have a great evening and weekend. Be safe out there, and God bless you. 👍👍👍👍👍👍× 💯 ❤
Ponds are looking great. I saw the Bealy Good pond today and man it is awesome. Mr Bealy was talking about you doing the island by eye and off by 6 inches lol. Both of yall are great guys and im glad yall are friends. Keep up the good work buddy.
Okay Chris this project here I watched from beginning till you finished it it looks amazing awesome I love watching your videos because you go through step-by-step what you're doing how you're doing it and what the purpose of doing everything about it to hold everything in place everything has a purpose in what you're doing
Nice to see your new camouflage hat Chris but that's all I could see till you went on the back slope, even so it was a delight to watch and see the finished overflow, keep up the good work.
As a GC who often gets stuck cleaning up after subs, I 100% believe there is not a single pressure washer that can make it through one job without something breaking. And for any commenters that think it's maintenance yada yada, trust me, after so many of them have broken on me I know a TON about maintaining them. Probably worth buying a professional rig at this point but that $5k+ has to come from somewhere and I haven't found it yet.
Can you show how you use your laser and set the levels and grade sometime? You mention doing it all the time and it would be cool to see you use and talk about those tools some.
Another job well done!!! I know it was nice having the 550 on these 2 ponds to help speed up the process. Your exposure of that machine should help Volvo make a few extra sales. Now they need to give you one heck of a discount on your next Volvo purchase, or at least throw some free attachments your way!!! It was a bit strange to see you using the high-fall overflow. I hope the owner plans to put some riprap at the outlet, or else he'll have another pond down there!!!
Sure was a great project to follow you and the crew on; the property owner has got to be just elated with the outcomes. Gonna be some great fishing holes for young and old alike in the future.
After the first video in this series I commented about the back up alarm being obnoxious to my dog. Another commented. "That it was the owners machine". I would like to thank Mr. David for allowing "adjustments" to be made to his machine. Cause I sure would have missed that dog. Also note worthy was watching Tim work the back slope of that dam. I thought, "there is a man that is truly loved by his God." Bless.
Thank you for another fine video. I was wondering if you dug a bucket full out and placed the stump upside down, if that would make a much better fish habitat. With that being said I know absolutely nothing about building ponds or fish habitat. Cheers.
Those stumps upside down are a umbrella to predators from above, and indeed a clump of stumps together could end up the first nursery for baby fish. Boy.. do I miss building ponds.. but I always attached a really shallow spot, the growing ground for many species underwater plants, but also where the frogs had their hiding/birth place, water snails and alge eating stuff. (Not going all technical, nobody who wants that lol! )
Hey Chris, Nice work as always. IMO, What makes your videos great is that people can think about a time when they played with diggers and tractors, in the dirt.
I saw a cement mixer that was hillbillied with a quick cupler and hydro driven. I thought of you for cementing in overflow head pipes. It's not stupid if it works and this thing worked awesome.
Filling on up. Great way to use old stumps . Fish habit and hook snags .. Sorry, but if there is a snag in the water I'll find it.🤣 I'm Irish... 🤷 🍀 what can I say. Like any good Irishman well tell you, ... "lost it on the snag ...I tell ya ... that WAS thee biggest fish 🐟 in the pond. ... a real whopper." With the accent and flair that only comes from an Irishman that's danced with the Blarney Stone. 💋
Hey Chris !! ""CONGRATS"" on another perfect job !! 🙂🙃😊 Where's the "BEAST"" gona end up at ?? 🤔🙄 Have ""FUN"" with Clint & Mike at the "auctions " In FL. !! 🤔🙄👀👀👍👍👍👍👍
MIGHT NEED TO INSTALL A REAR VIEW CAMERA ON THAT BEAST... GREAT WORK LIKE EVERYTHING YOU DO.. SEE THE DEER DONT MIND THAT NEW DAM... WISH I COULD GET YOU TO DO MY HALF ACRE POND IN BUSH LOUISIANA FOR US.. WOULD BE COOL TO MEET YOU... GOD BLESS...
When I broadcast grass seed on fresh dirt I drive over it with ATV multiple passes. Not only does it press the seed down into the soil, it buries some of it to keep birds from eating the heck out of it. Deer are curious as cats. Where ever there is fresh dirt, in a short time, there will be a deer track in it.
Nice mention of using the smaller bucket for clean up. I prefer digging buckets for clean up in most situations, being lighter you can sweep better and having teeth is nice to deal hiding rocks on cleanup.
Really nice looking ponds. I think you are going to miss the 550, but you can always lease it again should the need arise. A lot of capital to have sitting around not working. Thanks for sharing.
Love your channel dude! Even if things are slow and muddy! I've been in the trades for over 40 years. Your work ethic and integrity carry a lot of weight with me. No stupid gimmicks, No stupid sidekicks, or stupid pet tricks. No nagging about liking and subscribing. Just get er done. That is a rarity on TH-cam. I've got 2 channels set for notifications. You're one of them.
Hey if you rented that Volvo from Rudd Volvo equipment in Pittsburgh, they would charge you a couple thousand dollars to repaint the track frame and the bucket after you rent it for 3 months! The bill said it had to be returned in as new condition. Last thing I will ever rent from them!
That's a beautiful piece of property.
That’s a great and big pond Chris 👌👏👏👏👏👍🍺😎
Having 550 withdrawal - that was a rare treat to see such an awesome machine.
There is really a difference in the amount of dirt both move. It looked like Chris was using a shovel to build the over flow.
Looking great nice work I bet the customer is happy as heck.
OMG have never seen you so dirty - it's called transference! Great to see the ponds gradually filling - valuable water source in dry times and pasture improvement.
Yuppers, that sure turned out to be a couple of beautiful ponds..they're going to look stunningly beautiful once the grass gets mowable size and the ponds filled up.
Some good fishin' will take place in them.
Chris!! With all that soil on you, one would think you were working hard!!! 👍🏻😅
Nice Job Chris.... 👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻
Great to see another pond come together.
Great follow up video thank you Chris for having us along with you
Love your videos,I miss them on days that you don't post. Have a good one,God Bless!!!
Looks Great Chris, you should be very proud of yourself 👍
Enjoy watching these pond build with the 550 it moved some dirt. Get you a rain suit when you do a pressure washing of the equipment thanks for the videos
Great Video as always Thanks Chris!!👍👍
This was a fun follow-up, Chris. I love watching you work. Your economy of motion, the ease with that you do things is like watching a conductor lead an orchestra without all the arm gyrations! Thank you for sharing with us all. Have a good day.

It’s cool that the owner wants to lend a hand.

Awesome Job Chris. 👌
Both ponds sure made for great viewing bro. Sure is a big digger when it comes to transporting it if when it arrived is anything to go by. Safe travels
Nice sized pond and should look fantastic when its full and the grass has taken hold. Good video Chris.
Guess you will miss this beautiful machine, fun watching you guys work
Just WOW! True pond artist with that Volvo 550 beast. Thanks for the fun watch.
Added my like to this video. Nice job od that pond, Chris, that's one heck of a pond dam there, amazing amount of clay.
I'm amazed at the amount of pond work you have in the Carolina's.
Morning from Australia 🇦🇺
Backatcha!
Looks like a pretty good start to filling up
Good evening from New York everybody.🇺🇸
Yeah the ponds turned out really good. Won't take long. I hope you do a follow-up on them. You've been doing that on the other ones which is good to see. Looking forward to your next job. 👍👍🙂🇨🇦
Another awesome build on both ponds. Loved watching the beast in action... and she is a BEAST of a machine!
Oh so nice to see a tailgate waterfall. Mr. David has some nice ponds!! Good that the Beast got cleaned off- not good to return "a loaner" back with lots of mud and dirt. Yes, half the dirt and water gets on you using a pressure washer - just imagine getting soaked washing porch ceilings.
Chris just 2 more beautiful pond sites to add to your repertoire. You have skills! Hope you have fun and sunshine in Florida. Take care.

Awesome another master piece. ❤❤❤❤😊
sweet pond dam that is impressive, both ponds are awesome nice work
Ponds are looking great. I saw the Bealy Good pond today and man it is awesome. Mr Bealy was talking about you doing the island by eye and off by 6 inches lol. Both of yall are great guys and im glad yall are friends. Keep up the good work buddy.

Nice to see your new camouflage hat Chris but that's all I could see till you went on the back slope, even so it was a delight to watch and see the finished overflow, keep up the good work.
The 2 ponds look great, they both will be really deep when full. Bit sad the 550 is leaving☹️ Take care & cheers😊
Love it when a plan comes together like this one did. Got you through the bad season with that monster bucket and just amazing to watch.
I peddle my kayak when my trolling motor is off
Great work!!!
If you put the stumps in trunk side down, it gives more cover for the fish.

Looks awesome!
Literally. :)
Awesome job on the ponds!

Great series young man, enjoyed it immensely, nice looking finish on both dams. Thanks for the ride along.
Congratulations 👏 your awesome 😊
Looks really good Chris!
Bet your gonna miss that big ol bucket, next pond job you have to hog out! It was a Beast!
Good looking ponds, Chris! I'm going to miss seeing the 550, that was a hoss!
Those stumps upside down are a umbrella to predators from above, and indeed a clump of stumps together could end up the first nursery for baby fish.
Boy.. do I miss building ponds.. but I always attached a really shallow spot, the growing ground for many species underwater plants, but also where the frogs had their hiding/birth place, water snails and alge eating stuff.
(Not going all technical, nobody who wants that lol! )
One gets a better idea of the height of the dam when viewing the person on the top from the cabin when Chris is at the base. A looong way up!!
With the clay being somewhat moist and wet, it should set up like concrete when it dries out.
Hey Chris, Nice work as always. IMO, What makes your videos great is that people can think about a time when they played with diggers and tractors, in the dirt.
⤴️⤴️⤴️⤴️⤴️⤴️
Congratulations winner🎊🎊🎊🎊
You've been selected.....Hit me up on telegram, I've got a big surprise for you.. 🎁🎁
It turned out awesome Chris
...LOOKIN' GOOD, KEEP SAFE...
WHEN THAT MACHINE WAS FIRST DELIERED I WAS SO HAPPY FOR YOU!!!I WAS THINKING IT WAS YOUR. 😄 I AM SURE YOU WILL GET ONE SOME DAY SOON...
Nice finish as always.good video just keep it up 👍👍👍😎😎😎
Another precision job. Neat.
I saw a cement mixer that was hillbillied with a quick cupler and hydro driven. I thought of you for cementing in overflow head pipes. It's not stupid if it works and this thing worked awesome.
They look great brother 👌🤘🤘🤘🤘
Anyone else see the 220 and think, "Oh, what a cute little thing!" That 550 changed my perspective completely.
Another beautiful dam! Damn😂
Great collection of videos we can come back and watch. The 550 really ate up the ground. Maybe a 750 next time!
That 550 is fantastic on the job, just ridiculous to move.
Filling on up. Great way to use old stumps . Fish habit and hook snags .. Sorry, but if there is a snag in the water I'll find it.🤣 I'm Irish... 🤷 🍀 what can I say. Like any good Irishman well tell you, ... "lost it on the snag ...I tell ya ... that WAS thee biggest fish 🐟 in the pond. ... a real whopper."

Hey Chris !! ""CONGRATS"" on another perfect job !! 🙂🙃😊 Where's the "BEAST"" gona end up at ?? 🤔🙄 Have ""FUN"" with Clint & Mike at the "auctions " In FL. !! 🤔🙄👀👀👍👍👍👍👍
Looks like a meteor strike. 😊. Now, that’s a big dam!
Another job well done
Thank you and have a great day.
Fishy business! We like big bass and we can't deny…
THANKS!
I enjoy seeing Chris get dirty every so often. It gives the impression you had to really work that day. 🤣
Have you seen a thunder fuel trailer the farmers use? Hold 1K gallon of deisel, def, air compresdor and some tools and grease guns spare parts
MIGHT NEED TO INSTALL A REAR VIEW CAMERA ON THAT BEAST... GREAT WORK LIKE EVERYTHING YOU DO.. SEE THE DEER DONT MIND THAT NEW DAM... WISH I COULD GET YOU TO DO MY HALF ACRE POND IN BUSH LOUISIANA FOR US.. WOULD BE COOL TO MEET YOU... GOD BLESS...
Chris keep up your video brother from Austin texas

I believe this 550 came straight from Volvo as demonstration machine.
Amazing AGAIN 👏! How long before the pond has a ecosystem under water??? 3yrs???
GRET GREAT GREAT job Chris. I think you should buy the 550 so you can knock out a pound a day.
Mais uma obra terminada maravilha
job well done sir 😎👊🏻👍🏻 i honestly forgot about barney
@1:44, I’ve had mornings like that before. Usually with memorable associated evenings.
If anything ever needed a back-up camera, it’s the EC550E.
