The first time I watch Chris letsdig18 who was working at a golf course on a cart Trail he was removing landscape timbers that line the trail and it took me a minute to figure out what he was doing it was pulling spikes out of the landscape timbers with the pocket and thumb on a mini excavator I was impressed so much that I think I've watched every episode since👍👍
Folks just don't understand how wasteful it is to have a wild, overgrown thicket of trees. They get so crowded that they race to grow tall competing for sunlight and never get to grow thick so you end up with a gaggle of useless trees that are all tops and no lumber. Which means the mills want tree farm trees since they maintain the spacing for maximum lumber growth. Wild thickets are just oversize weeds.
I have really enjoyed your land transformation of this property from useless scrubby marsh to the treasure we see today. And getting to see more is wonderful. I also appreciate seeing your maintenance. It's a great reminder of the expenses you incur doing this much needed work. Thanks for bringing us along, Chris.
you can only do that in America. Here in Austria you have to plant a new one for every tree that is felled!!! Life here in Europe is no longer fun... so millions of people will emigrate to the USA in the next few years 🤷♂️🍻.
Maintenance very important, the clearing is moving along , did Geoff charge you for the machine wash great video thanks Chris and Geoff and the mechanic
I am really impressed at how much better the bucket works since you shimmed it, it seems much more precise. Those saplings are a real nuisance to clear but at least they are coming out easily for you.
That is my favorite machinist channel. Kurtis is one talented man and his wife's skill as a professional film editor shows in the quality of their videos.
Like I've said before taking care of you're equipment is key to good job But the best is operator who knows an loves his work an Chris Does both Equipment management isn't cheap Chris makes money because he spends money on the Right things He is always ready for next job Because his equipment is always in top shape He didn't just do it over nite He could teach his trade to others Thats why I keep saying he needs to hire a helper / apprentice It would take lots of the load off Chris Plus just think of the videos we would see lolol
Yep, little dusty - time for leaf blower on air filters. Glad that you show that it is not always working, digging and grading. Maintenance down time is not productive but necessary for future productivity. Naw, just go ahead and make a BIG pile. Good to hear A/C belt adjust worked out. That house lot is like pulling big weeds with the V220.
The density of the trees and brush on the 2 acre lot just goes to show how space to grow a great tree is restricted severely. Bealy Good's episode was a good one and fun to watch. Dust wash drenching expert too.
You always have fun even repairing a huge machine. Funny you giving the Volvo a lake bath. Really dry your way also. Oh that pizza looked good. Have a good weekend.
Although the excavator might be more efficient, running a bulldozer through those thickets would be hella fun. I'd love to see big Betty hit that stuff.
@@Vickie-Bligh True to a degree, but that 977K would tear out a lot of the stumps without too much trouble. Chris has already shown a couple of videos of Betty clearing big stumps as well as much bigger trees than the little pecker poles in those thickets. But all that aside, as I posted, it would be hella fun to see her or the D6 plow right through them. However, I know it's not economical to move those machines just for entertainment purposes.
Hey Chris, noticed your truck in the background. I have the exact same truck and put the same bed on. The exhaust tips and angle are made for a pickup bed. Mine did a regen and fried the wiring that’s right behind the little red reflector, blowing the clearance light breaker for the bed. I had an exhaust shop change the angle of the tips and extended them out flush. Might be worth checking on.
@@BealyGoodhave you looked into an industrial shredder (not chipper)? If you could get all that shredded fine enough, it shouldn't take more that a year to fully decompose. I do it on a smaller scale. I get truck loads of woodchips from a local arborist, then I run them through my shredder with a fine screen. Beautiful compost in about 6 months. Also, those tree roots make some of the best compost material.
@@donpanzer5348 Made a deal yesterday to take care of certain areas that I need growing grass asap. I like the idea of a shredder for the remaining areas. I’ll look into it. Thanks
What happened to your mechanic’s work truck bed looks limit was in a fire.gotta do maintenance those machines are your bread and butter.always worth it.great video as always.continue on.kudos 👍👍👍😎😎😎
Self employed mechanics that are worth having usually are short on time to work on their own stuff. So beds often get moved from one truck to the next without painting them.
Hey Mr Volvo representative…. With all the free advertising Chris gives you… you should be making sure that his toys are in good order… missing shims and dodgy O rings !!!???!!! Come on guys.
Chris, tell the customer that if he/she is going to bother you and your maintenance person, then there's an additional charge. Also there is a charge for stealing your video camera equipment.
good morning Chris those o rings around the pins are also available with a bolt through it. you don't always have to take the whole pen out. . if one breaks
I just had to go through the same “ordeal” on the same pin on my machine. Glad to know I’m not the only one that had to struggle with getting the shims back in

He is very inspiring, I admire his passion
Chris is one of the few people who can still talk clearly with a tree stuck between their teeth.
🤣🤣
"Billy bob bought property with nothing but trees and wants pasture" lol yall are having too much fun. 😂

A volvo that is not ashamed to take a bath on camera.
Kinda reminded me of an elephant bathing 🐘

Interesting way of cleaning an excavator 😁

Like the ex self bath ... still think a portable pressure wash addition to fuel trailer would be cool for quick cleanings!
Great idea, 'cept which tank gets the water. Uh-oh
Kinda reminded me of an elephant splashing water on its back with its trunk when you were splashing water on your excavator with the bucket, lol.
I made the same comment, before I read a number of others who thought the same!
I can now see why the dealership 'forgot' to put all those shims in...
Dirt Perfect needs some shims in his old excavator 😂😂😂
DP's wobbles like a drunken sailor😀
If DP fixed the 120 wobble he would not be able to run it as well for probably a day or two. He would be all discombobulated.
They don’t believe in shims in Southern, Indiana!
Maybe a new excavator in his shims?
Too busy clowning with millennial to get much done!
I like the "let me dump the dust out" when dumping the dirt out of the truck.
Sensible business plan to keep the stuff that makes money in repair.
I am really impressed at how much better the bucket works since you shimmed it, it seems much more precise. Those saplings are a real nuisance to clear but at least they are coming out easily for you.
Bealy Bob, best line of the day
Cutting Edge Engineering Australia rebuilds these from time to time, Definitely not field work
CEE is an awesome channel! He does amazing work.
That is my favorite machinist channel. Kurtis is one talented man and his wife's skill as a professional film editor shows in the quality of their videos.
Like I've said before taking care of you're equipment is key to good job
But the best is operator who knows an loves his work an Chris
Does both
Equipment management isn't cheap Chris makes money because he spends money on the
Right things
He is always ready for next job
Because his equipment is always in top shape
He didn't just do it over nite
He could teach his trade to others
Thats why I keep saying he needs to hire a helper / apprentice
It would take lots of the load off Chris
Plus just think of the videos we would see lolol
I now have Another One Bites the Dust stuck in my head 😂
That’s going to be some good fires . I maybe be able to see the flames from my house . They will be so big . Lol

Chris, whatever happened to Justin and his "Mini" dump truck? Haven't heard about him in awhile.
Chris is happy when he sings did it dit do
I wonder how Uncle John ( your uncle?) is doing. We don’t get to see him anymore?
I rewatch the older videos to see Uncle John and Tim..
Not a easy job well done
Watching the maintenance videos are always interesting. Not my line of work but always willing to see how it’s done!! Enjoyed!!
14:18 there’s not a man been born yet that’s never made a mistake
He is very knowledgeable, I appreciate his insights
Nothing like the boys jamming doing maintenance and having a bonding session later. Loved the washing technique
You always have fun even repairing a huge machine. Funny you giving the Volvo a lake bath. Really dry your way also. Oh that pizza looked good. Have a good weekend.
Pleasure to watch an organized man conduct his day and to the benefit of his clients.
Fishing with a Volvo 220 🤣🤣🤣
"The customer is not always right."
"Say that again."
This is southern charm at its finest.
...Yeah, Chris ... You know, the guy with gum trees stuck in his teeth? Yeah him...
Too much grease , as if .......
There's nothing worse than a camera man don't like getting he's hand's dirty
Morning from Australia it winter here and very cold weather ❤❤❤❤😂😂😂😂
And by cold you mean in the 60ºs F (16+º C) 😁
It’s a 3 degree temperature this morning and a top 14 but a lovely sunny day today
That's called "The Elephant".... LOL @18:28
I liked Mr.Bealy's multiple camera work on your last video. Very entertaining.
His passion is very inspiring, I admire him
Good maintenance on the equipment you have nice machines and you do take good care of them you da man Chris 👍😎🇺🇸NY
Tedious work, videotaping the process almost becomes a break from the task at hand. Thanks for sharing.
Did somebody say injection pump? Let me know if she keeps making oil.
Great mix of stuff here Chris. It's moving along pretty good too. Nice work all around. Be well. 😉
Great video enjoyable relaxing keep it Chris !😊
When I worked on equipment, I wish we would have had battery powered leaf blowers. Or customers like you.
Unfortunately everyone cuts back including steel companies.Cut back on mix pins burn out faster!!!
Although the excavator might be more efficient, running a bulldozer through those thickets would be hella fun. I'd love to see big Betty hit that stuff.

@@Vickie-Bligh You don't get it, but I'm not surprised. 🙄
I deleted my responses since I have zero interest in what you have to say. You are rude, dismissive, and I will leave you to your proclivities.
You wearin them girlies out! 😱😁😝🤪🤣👍👍🇺🇲
That'd be a really swell pond if it had some trees around it... 🙃
He is very knowledgeable, I appreciate his insights
Chris you gave the measurements of lot 245ft × 500+ft. You didn't say if it reaches the property line or is it left surrounded by Bealy Good land.
Great Video Chris, you do an amazing job.

You and Bealy Good should do a lot of composting, instead of burning his brush, and build his topsoil.
I have a lot of compost to buy

Отлично бро 👍🙂✅🍇🥥🍊
Where’s the balloons?
Enjoy the video Chris on maintenace of the Equipment .
G'day Chris, I didn't realise your wonderful Volvo excavator identified as an Elephant!!
Nice Elephant bath!!!! Belly Excavator Washing at your service!!!
I was diggin’ the pink blower!
I love Maintenance day but I do think that o-ring not going to last long in them 1000 degree fires and o my the poor air filters
Hey Mr Volvo representative…. With all the free advertising Chris gives you… you should be making sure that his toys are in good order… missing shims and dodgy O rings !!!???!!! Come on guys.
Using the bucket to wash the excavator reminded me of Elephants in a pond using their trunks to wash their backs!
Chris, tell the customer that if he/she is going to bother you and your maintenance person, then there's an additional charge. Also there is a charge for stealing your video camera equipment.
By the way you’re talking , the previous owners worked that land to death ! IMO it seems with all that dust they couldn’t grow weeds there !
Jeremiah probably appreciates your keeping him employed!
He'll never be short of work with Chris growing fleet.
He always delivers quality content, I respect his work
My (rare) "thumbs up" fo the "elephant shower" of the excavator at the pond. :-)
Its not too often you'll hear someone say that they were going to dump a load of dust
Love when you give the machine a splash bath, you need to get some corks to plug the drain holes in the bucket for that.
Instead of burning all that and adding to more Canadian smoke you guys should look into chipping all that
that's what happens when you constantly putting bucket in fire
Rain possible later next week and actually the maintenance videos are good to see
Pizza MM lets get the party started :) Bealy Aero Space drone for Hire :)
Andrew Camarata could have done that by himself first try haha jk
good morning Chris
those o rings around the pins are also available with a bolt through it. you don't always have to take the whole pen out. . if one breaks
LetsGrease18 should be the nickname for this video
Wow this age fail smashes my mind. (the new excavator?? )
And Chris, the pink ribbon is a perfect match for your cute lil pink jeep too!
Yes the bucket does look a lot steadier than last week and the noise is not as noticeable very nice job you guys did 👍😎🇺🇸NY
The suspense is killing me. When will the balloon be discovered?
Chris will you add Bealy Good phase III into your Bealygood playlist
after being able to wash your face with the excavator, towelling yourself off with it is the next step...
Bealy Bob! lol 😂 😂😂😂
I thought Bealy Good was renting the 550 for you!
Heavy construction porn, complete with a shower scene
the dusty cloud cinematic special effects COOL
Enjoyed watching thex Chris 😊
You must be real overloaded never seen your equipment that dirty
I just had to go through the same “ordeal” on the same pin on my machine. Glad to know I’m not the only one that had to struggle with getting the shims back in
He needs some livestock to start returning some nutrients to the soil.
No fish were harmed in the bathing of the excavator.
Is the septic field going to be too close to the pond? Thank you and have a good day.
The other video was nice but yours are better!
U better watch it bealey good farm might charge u for the water from the lake
No fish were harmed in the washing of the excavator
Kool , you coulld use a droe to great effect whie you work.
