I could not be happier with the results of all your hard work. Thanks for caring about the project above and beyond just an income source. Also, thanks for letting me be a small part of the channel that you’ve worked hard to build. Can’t wait for phase 2! Have a Bealy Good Day 😄😄😄
You have a Bealy Good project there. Sorry couldn't resist.
Question - Did you see Chris's videos and decide to hire him after seeing those or was he the available excavation guy when you were looking? Or just knew of him from family/friends type deal?
That's just another Bealy Good way of saying that Chris is anal, got OCD when it comes to all of the jobs that he Bealy cares about... Others will agree.., you're Bealy welcome.
@@Blazer02LS I was doing research online for clearing for pasture and building a large pond. Came across his 5 acre pond build. Watched some other stuff And then emailed him to ask if he knew anyone in my area. Then to my super surprise, he lives pretty much down the street.
Not sure if you spent more for Chris than other companies in your area. But I am sure you got the best bang for your buck and best result you could have expected!
Friday Night’s are Great but are Fantastic when we have a New letsdig18 video to watch.🍿 🍺 👍
You got that right!
The sounds of your machines have rocked me to sleep more than once. Love to watch you work! Appreciate your talent.
I’ll turn his videos on before bed just to fall asleep to the sounds of the machines.
me too more than once
I've had a case of the rubber neck myself lol
Just denied nodding off. Enjoy your work.
I do the same and I find Chris 's accent calming to listen to .
Awesome. You always keep your work areas organized
Clay Peds, aggregate chunks of hard clay. Clay Clods Chunks of non aggregate Clay. Could also be mudrock or claystone before it becomes hard shale.
The bucket/claw looks like a dragon puffing out smoke. 😆👍
Looking awesome Chris
Good evening from central Florida! Hope everyone has a great night!
My thoughts and prayers go out to the families, victims with hopes of more survivors of the building collapse in Florida.
God Speed a few small miracles during this tragic and difficult time of uncertainty.
@@IR-nq4qv wonderful words and kindness!
was impressed on how well that rake attachment worked. That dozer is so nice.
Great job Chris.
A lot of work , looking nice
Good work!
...good one. nice work, stay safe and have a great weekend....
Chris you really are a master & artiste in ur profession, geoff’s so lucky to have landed such a beautiful property, & have you to landscape it for him, kudos to you both 👍👍
That is amazing how all brush /trees are burned up. I heard of bait and switch. But Chris you do mud and sticks switch.
You couldn't ask for anything more than what you did in just a few (long) days.
This is real American spirit.🇺🇸👍💯
Chris great video, thanks for sharing! Kevin
Great vlog 👍👍
This has been a large project. Good for not having to move equipment. Nice to see it as it comes together.
Shale rock, lots of it here in NC, especially here in the central piedmont
We have tons of shale in WV.
Nowhere near upper north of NY ! Look at Camarata job sites. It's all but pure schale and some dirt. Nightmare !
Those are subangular blocky structures that are associated with heavy clay soils on the east coast. Use your location to look at the NRCS Soil Survey if you want to know more. That gray layer above it is where the water sits during wet times of the year, so the soil below it definitely doesn't perc.
Ben ? Would you call it "Shale" maybe ?
been back checking for your video Chris lol always enjoy your videos mate cheers from London England
Over here in Rowan county NC I've always heard that dirt called shale rock. Great to build pads and roads out of. Run a sheep foot compactor over it and crush that stuff together and it's hard as concrete near about. The brick yard in town uses that type dirt to make brick. 👍
All mud fossil creatures
I wish I could quit my current job and come work for you running equipment. That would be awesome.
Charred trees, toasted leaves. Stirring up the ash cloud is something to watch as it gushes at you like flood water. Hope this root rake operator does better than the one you wanted to fire over at the pond site. :) You really have polished all of that Pennsylvania rust off the blade.
Looks great Chris 🇺🇲 another great video 🇺🇲
Agree with all the others, this is shale. Out here in California, it is used for the same thing you use it for. I love watching you work your equipment. You really are a true pro.
Nice 👍🏻
Here in MO, we call a similar dirt layer "hard pan".
Same in Wa.
I ENJOYED WATCHING THE VIDEO CHRIS 😊
Heh from 🐨🦘 Love watching the process of how you do a project. I think roads & drains are my favourite. Take care & cheers 🤓👍🏼
Me and my Kitty enjoy all of your videos. I think she is just into them for the rumble of your Volvo Diesels coming from the SubWoofer though!
great job buddy and great video as always 😎👊🏻👍🏻 love the camera angle on the dozer blade
thanks for this video, I'm building a small trail in a swamp this explains what I need to do!!! I only have a mini excavator 35g John Deere and JD1025 with grapple, root rake, bucket and box blade; I can never say thank you enough!
It was good catching up on things today. Seems like last week we were crushing at the truss plant. Time flies when you're busy.
Ya looks like shale. The brush pile burned Up nicely overnight 😀. The road through the woods there came along good too.everything comming along real good now plus the weather playing into your hands. Awesome job. 😀
Outstanding job! So important to have things done by knowledgeable and competent people!
Shale is a sedimentary rock structure of fine layers of clay. It is semi-hard and can start a coal bed. It is the precursor to hard rock but hasn't been heated by a volcano structure. Then it turns hard as a rock. Like mentioned below good for clay bricks. Very little calcium for limestone layers if any. The blue is the precursor of coal.
Possible called Shale. Does pack tight and is good for roads.
Chris, No clue what the clay is called but when I help my grandfather build their lake cabin, we ran into the same clay. This was a shoreline lake lot on Douglas Lake between Dandridge and White Pine. We hit this layer of clay while digging the footings, BY HAND. I noticed if it got wet it would soften and make a slurry. The topsoil was sandy and decomposing hardwoods. This was in the mid 60's. When the lake was pulled down in the Winter, you could see the layers normally covered by water. Slicker than Owl Snot and did not clean out of tires. Stuck Chuck. I know this does not help your quest for an answer, but it is on the Tennessee side of the Mountains. One good thing, as we cleaned out the bottom of the footings with a square point shovel, this clay peeled out fairly easily, just not EZ to dig in. Another fine video.
The root rake was a great investment.
Coming along "Bealy "good bro, thought i would join the band wagon. That rock stuff almost looks like the rotten rock we get in NZ it is full of different colors like that too. Makes good base rock for farm roads. Safe travels
Shale, or whatever you might call it, looks like a heck of a good base to a road in that wet area.
Best I ever saw and I been to Atlanta once and Macon twice by George.
Here in the NW I've heard of those impenetrable layers being called "Dry Hard Pan Clay".
good job, you have the cauldron/ pit thing down , ha , asses to ashes, quick recovery, to quote Joe Don Baker, "you did good boy".
That rattle in that dozer would make me nuts.
You mean that engine that sounds like a lawn mower going full blast. I'm sure the fuel efficiency is nice but I want a bulldozer to sound like a dang bulldozer.
@@gunslingersatx6741 It may be the biggest available, but it sure makes the job done for Chris !!
@@gunslingersatx6741 no, there’s a rattle between forward and reverse.
Shale, good alternative for building roads
hey mr. chris! you never can go wrong when you can get some burning in your video...you manage to do a fair bit of burning! haha. stay safe!
If only you sold beer and hot dogs. I would bring my lawn chair from Chicago and dream of days on machines gone bye.
You thumb is the finest I ever saw. The folks that made that did a fantastic job.
We call it stabilizer here in Florida when it’s dry it’s like concrete but once it compacted in do not touch again cause if water gets into it that stuff will turn to mud I know from experience that’s what I use on my roads
Thanks for sharing your work. As always, you do an excellent job. 👍
On its way to slate, maybeso. Texas has some hardened soil called caliche, but O that’s a different soil altogether. Some clay here on the coast range of my state is rock light. Red with gray bits.
Ben from Oregon
We have caliche all through Southern Nevada. Excavation companies switch to a higher charge rate when you have to how that out. They build retaining walls with the large blocks.
Looks like shale! We got abunch of that here in Oklahoma!!
Happy days, another job almost done. Caching $$
Possibly its a degraded mudstone. Compacted sediments that made a weak stone, that has broken down further in the eons. Friends stuck it when digging a cellar. Made the groundworks super expensive.
have you considered getting a rome plow to drag behind the dozer? it would really break up the ground and any roots
As someone who has been around machinery and work as forestry I'm very sure that all those dry ashes from all that burning are very rough on the air filters of your equipment hope you're keeping them blowed out saves you money and time
Shale is a fine-grained sedimentary rock that forms from the compaction of silt and clay-size mineral particles that we commonly call "mud."
Commonly found with limestone. Half of our five acres here in E TN is shale.we had to use an auger to dig the holes for the orchard trees and the vineyard!
Great video Chris we call that blue clay Boulder Clay hare in Scotland uk
I believe it looks like shale very good for road base.
Chris, have you guys thought about getting a wheeled or track front end loader for moving material faster? Jobs like this and pond jobs where you have to use a skid loader that can't haul as much material seems like a good choice. This job is really starting to shape up nicely! 👍👍👍
Interesting soil coming out of that borrow pit.
Hard pan clay, it is all through New England. Put in an area and my Cat 305 couldn't break it.
I am hooked on you videos . Top class work . My equipment is a lot older than yours lol
It's petrified dinosaur dung
Great work as always .just wondering if you have plans on getting one of these tracked dumppers? To speed up production. On projects like this.
An old well digger told my Dad that that stuff that you dug was 'sof rock'. Not quite rock but close. :)
The regen turns the soot to ash which is similar the the brush burn into ash.
Dope stone that what we call it.
We call that material soap stone where I’m from. We used to hit it when digging graves. You can actually whittle it with your pocket knife
The soot , the black stuff you use to see w/a Diesel. You want to do that Re Gen. Those systems are expensive to replace. At least the Ford Super Duties are.
Nothing like listening to those dozer tracks making money!💰💰💰💰💰😎😎😎
16:42 Somebody will know the term for it
Chris I've heard of this type of dense clay referred to as punk.......
BTW...,Looks like a Bealy good place as any to finish up the week, Have a Bealy great weekend and give Winston a hug from all of us.
clods
I really want a 210! My 130 gets a workout every clearing project ..... i always say im going to rent one on the next job but then i get too tight and just use the one i got ..... my other problem is help too ..... seems like every year it gets worse on finding operators that dont know everything! Always enjoy watching another dirt man ....
That really dark clay is really old old dry stuff possibly with gold in it
Looks like marl clay to me - halfway between clay & rock.
How hard is it to keep the smoke smell out of your cab @letsdig18? I ran rubber tire loaders and in the winter we would build a fire in a "bucket burner" as we called it, kept materials from freezing in the bucket and throwing off our scales or contaminating the different loads the trucks would get. I kept my cabs spotless but had a hard time keeping the smell out. Seemed like no matter how I parked over the fire the wind would blow the smoke right at the cab.
I was hoping to see farmall 51 hauling dirt for you
Hey Chris, that Dozer looks really nice and I'm sure it's a fine piece of equipment but it sounds like a washing machine on the spin cycle😁
I want a bulldozer to sound like a bulldozer.
btw..... I've been thinking it sure would be nice to bring my camper down to N.C. and lend a helping hand. Got heavy equipment experience.
I see air filters in your future after doing all this ,good video 👍👍👍😎😎😎
making a huge nz hungi
Good👍👍
Siltstone or mudstone is what we called it in the oilpatch
do you ever spread the ashes out over the lot to help with the soil?
Do you ever tun around and push both directions? Or is it better to push one way tryin to make it flat? Great vids thanks!
good video
well done to day
Hi Chris, I was wondering if you have ever dug into an amethyst vein while digging... I enjoy watching your great work... RON...
Mike Morgan calls it shale
That’s hard pan lifting that 220 up that’s impressive. What year is your dozer I am buying a newer one we are using a d 3 now and I am getting away from cat equipment we bought a Volvo 235 and are wanting a different dozer
Adam Luke
Do you ever use a root rake with finer tines to clean things out better (when needed)?
Finer tines on the blade of a bulldozer. That might not be such a good idea. Just saying
@@timjones8210 Something dragged by it or a skidsteer... after the bulldozer does the heavy work... and just in times where you want/need a better cleanup.
@@adamluke1289 That actually sounds like a good idea that could probably work
Thanks for the video love it .
I think the geological term for that material is clayrockslateshalesubterrainsandydriedmoltenlavaprehistoric dirt. ... but I could be wrong.
It will rot down and improve the soil for the woods.
we call it hard pan in MA
We call it chert up here in Tennessee where we live
👍👍👍
👍
That material is called regolith clay and rock baked in natures oven
I envy you Chris, if I could do all over again, I certainly would be an excavator driver like you !!
