I remember how Betty looked the first day you and Charlie went to see her. It is so nice to see how you've taken the time and effort (and money) to get her back into working order after all those years of obvious neglect by previous owners.
Origami is the art of paper folding, not sure what the art of tree folding is called. I love the way you fold all the trees up so neatly. It's mesmerising
Betty never fails to amaze me. Fires up quick and purrs like a kitten. Removing just that small amount of brush made a world of difference. Almost time for some drone pictures for me. Thank you Chris.
Showed this video to my wife (the part where you’re taking out the trees) and she said she was jealous. We both are impressed with your skill and the machine.
Chris, you have the type of subscribers that love to watch EVERY TASK that you do, I know editing is hard sometimes, but we are mesmerized by your work, you didn't show us the siphon, I feel cheated (LOL). We are going to have Thunderstorms in Tennessee this weekend, hope it doesn't effect the pond project you are now on.
Hello Chris. I realize that when you acquired Betty you negotiated a price that would give you the room to budget for repair and restoration. I have followed you from before then and every video since. Just have to say that it is a pleasure to see a 45 year old machine restored and doing such good work. I guess I'm a little sentimental about old equipment and operators that understand them. I am really glad for you that project worked well.
Agreed, except imo the Kumatsu PX 39 i believe it is, is one that im not a fan of to me it sounds like a rattle trap, its the only one i have to lower the volume.
Loving the white oak trees... If you have to cut one down in the future, think about making it into a piece of furniture for you house. Something to cherish for life. 💖
Clearing the brush surrounding the new pond sure made a big diff. I like the sound of cracking and tearing of tree branches, it's the sound of progress.
Betty sounds really nice she sure did fire up quick you gave her a second chance to live a little longer and she works hard in return nice machine 😎 👍👍
Wondered if you might get another cutting from that fast growing filed. Clean up surely makes the white oaks shine and Betty is a gem. All the improvements to your farm are a credit to you.
The 220 looks to be one of the best universal type tree pruners I've ever seen in action. Go from lots of underbrush and small scraggly trees to nearly no such things in a matter of minutes.
Betty has her place, she is the ace in the hole, glad you fixed the ole girl up. The pond looks really as well as the property. Thanks for the update sir.
It's just something about home projects that's just very Satisfying... thanks for sharing 👍.. and yes... ole betty... they don't make um like her anymore.. what a Gem.
The best time to cut grains type grasses for hay, is during the bloom stage up to the milk stage. The bloom stage is when the pollen is on, the milk stage is when you can take a kernel of the grain and squeeze it between your thumb nails and a milky substance comes out. What you where showing that hadn't been cut looks like its in the end stage of the dough stage, thats when you can still smash it between your thumb nails but the center is soft like dough or putty.
Will surprise ya how much better it makes things look, just taking out all those saplings, ya know it !! Got it looking good around the farm there Chris, ya got anything instore next going on the farm ?? another pond or anything ?? lolol.... sure you'll come up with something...lolol... Hell Man, not going to take much more to get another cutting off the field it looks like !! Would be nice to get 2 cuttings .... Great as always, Have a Great weekend, And, On too the Next !!
Pond is looking good. Clearing the "woods are so thick you can not see" will help and does make it look more like a park. Great cold start on Ol` Betty.
Hello, I am Oussama, 35 years old from Algeria. I admire your channel and your work. I hope to work with you. I have 15 years of experience in driving an bulldozer and excavator. Thank you.
Do you think Betty has recouped some cost, even if she is not been on a job site, with all the work she has done around the farm? It is hard to believe how far you have come since you bought this property, looking awesome. Thank you and have a great day.
The new pond looks good. The wheel seals on the dump truck look to be holding up. Betty looks to be operational. Soon be time to stock the new pond with -- cat fish ?? :-)
Have you ever considered getting a Forestry Mulcher for your skid steer? Seems like a good sized one would save you a lot of time and effort. Looking at all the time spent cleaning out brush and small trees, loading it up, moving it, piling it up and burning it when it could just be ground down and mulched. I mean, you do have the one with the excavator as well to use on the bigger taller stuff. Just seems to me it would be more efficient.
Looks like the summer rains have worked their magic on ya field bro it's growing fast. Enjoyed todays video too especially seeing Betty helping out. Safe travels
Chris, by the Farm Pond make You the last finish Work. With the Excavator root out young Trees, that the great Oak the Pond side bathen in Light. With Betty the old strong Lady to pile up a great Heap. You have a wonderful Place building, as Water Reservoir and as Place to Relaxation. Congratulation. The Equipment can You for the next Work bring away. 👌👍🤗
Farm is looking great! Starting to notice a trend on the farm videos. We could probably make a drinking game out of how many times Chris says “just need to take down a few more trees over there”😂
Watching the video in 3d using the Nubia Pad 3d and its great especially in the cab shots, you really start to appreciate the size of the machines and the work they do. Betty looks even better 😊
Betty still has it looks nice the way you have opened it up see through to the Dam and i was hoping you were going to through a match in the burn pile but next time some work coming up for you that's good keep the tracks turning and earning thank's for taking us along again the Dam looks good with a bit of water in it now will look great when full plenty of water to water the hay field's Cheers
I have to imagine that your White Oaks surrounding the forest line are going to explode after all the clearing you did around them! That pond can't fill fast enough for you! :) The farm is shaping up quickly!
This channel has become a favorite of mine...I love your perfectionism like mine....I hope you get some huge pond contracts so it would justify buying the big 550 with a bucket as big as a dumpster...hehe
Coming along nicely looks good and poor Betty has been regulated to brush pusher but she keeps on ticking even at her age and the stories she could tell about her history
Me and my 12 year old agree. When you set the camera out so we can see the excavator work, it looks like a Brontosaurus eating lunch. We love all your videos. Allways excited when your alerts pop up
Five things that Chris wishes for. 1. All trees have no roots. 2. Four consecutive days with no rain. 3. No large water pools in the middle of the roads. 4. No trucks or pieces of equipment stuck in a water logged hole 5. All pieces of equipment never need oil changes.
Clean UP the Tree Edges and making a little more Pretty ! Good Ol Reliable Betty ! Building up Your Brush and Burn Piles ! Fields are looking Brilliant ! Many Cheers from Australia !!!!
Watching Chris clear brush with an excavator, reminds me of an one armed man pulling weeds. It could really be handy if there was a two boomed brush clearing machine.
Great Minds think alike i was just thinking I wonder if your be Lucky and get another Cut from the Grass I Hope you Do well Betty sure give you a love of Love for your machines no electronics just pure Power Nice Thanks
hey Chris i think you should look into a gravity wagon and do haylage. then you can save your round bales for winter time. the farmers up here in NY do that alot. i think it works better for the smaller farms. it is looking like you might be able to do a 2nd cut in a couple weeks i've seen farmers up here cut shorter fields than that. well best of luck from upstate NY
Is that hard on the bucket pins when you shake the stump to get rid of extra dirt , Chris on a Dozer is as natural as it gets ,perhaps his favorite Piece of heavy equipment to use
I was betting on you using the brush hog attachment on the mini to thin out the underbrush. Haven't seen it in action for a while. Shaping up real nice out there Chris. I am curious how much the new pond will clear up - or remain tannic looking. I'm aware that it's currently tainted from the rains, runoff and the freshly dug pond sediment
It's nice to see a hard working man, Chris, but what do you do for fun. We always see your time away from work being equipment related. Of course they do say if you love what you do you never work a day in your life.
I remember how Betty looked the first day you and Charlie went to see her. It is so nice to see how you've taken the time and effort (and money) to get her back into working order after all those years of obvious neglect by previous owners.
The Earth rotates slightly slower when Betty is pushing a huge brush pile…… it shall be known in Physics as Betty’s 1st Law of Motion😀
Origami is the art of paper folding, not sure what the art of tree folding is called. I love the way you fold all the trees up so neatly. It's mesmerising
Chrisigami, and he is a master.
Betty never fails to amaze me. Fires up quick and purrs like a kitten. Removing just that small amount of brush made a world of difference. Almost time for some drone pictures for me. Thank you Chris.
Showed this video to my wife (the part where you’re taking out the trees) and she said she was jealous. We both are impressed with your skill and the machine.
Chris always makes it look easy w the oversized toys
Bet Chris could fold a ROAD MAP with the 220. 😲
You can tell by the look on her face that Betty loves you for getting her all fixed up and working again.
Chris, you have the type of subscribers that love to watch EVERY TASK that you do, I know editing is hard sometimes, but we are mesmerized by your work, you didn't show us the siphon, I feel cheated (LOL). We are going to have Thunderstorms in Tennessee this weekend, hope it doesn't effect the pond project you are now on.
Ha, The siphon... i knew somebody would say it.... yeah would have been interesting....lol

I guess I'm a little sentimental about old equipment and operators that understand them. I am really glad for you that project worked well.
I love how Betty is so headphone friendly, almost like diesel electric, but she loves to push by the look of it, nice clean up.
Agreed, except imo the Kumatsu PX 39 i believe it is, is one that im not a fan of to me it sounds like a rattle trap, its the only one i have to lower the volume.

Clearing the brush surrounding the new pond sure made a big diff. I like the sound of cracking and tearing of tree branches, it's the sound of progress.
All the tree crunching is such a satisfying noise 😊😊
Betty sounds really nice she sure did fire up quick you gave her a second chance to live a little longer and she works hard in return nice machine 😎 👍👍
Wondered if you might get another cutting from that fast growing filed. Clean up surely makes the white oaks shine and Betty is a gem. All the improvements to your farm are a credit to you.
Always gotta make time for Betty she is a good kitty ❤
The 220 looks to be one of the best universal type tree pruners I've ever seen in action. Go from lots of underbrush and small scraggly trees to nearly no such things in a matter of minutes.
Love all the machines Chris but it's just fun to watch Betty do what Betty does.
The new farm is getting where you want it and Betty is doing her job great video thanks Chris
The farm is looking good .I hope you are taking 5-10 minutes of downtime to compensate on all the hard work you do.
I think you would get other cut of hay ,you will have to just keep a eye on it when ready,as you said 10/20 bales is better than nothing
Betty may be slow but you don't own anything that can out push her. Love Betty.
Amazing what the before and after look like once you clear out the underbrush!! Nice clean look there!!
Maestro! I watch a lot of excavating channels and you are the best my friend!
Betty needs a big brush grapple for pushing and stacking brush. She’s a beast! 👍🏻
Betty has her place, she is the ace in the hole, glad you fixed the ole girl up. The pond looks really as well as the property. Thanks for the update sir.

Love the sound of Betty when she fires up
I know you are glad that you have your own equipment to do the work . When ever you have the time
Boy Chris, when you light that pile off, flames 300 ft high.
Thanks for the videos Chris. 👍👍🇨🇮🇨🇦🐶❤
love your videos and how you leave everything tidy and clean, looking forward to new projects!
Hello, I am Oussama, 35 years old from Algeria. I admire your channel and your work. I hope to work with you. I have 15 years of experience in driving an bulldozer and excavator. Thank you.
You’re never going to work for him.
Your place is looking prettier & prettier. Soon your cabins will go in there. What a gorgeous setting.
Betty sure is beast pushing those brush piles
Do you think Betty has recouped some cost, even if she is not been on a job site, with all the work she has done around the farm? It is hard to believe how far you have come since you bought this property, looking awesome. Thank you and have a great day.
It will be a shame when you finish your new farm. It’s been a cool ride watching. The Airbnbs will be fun to watch go up.
The new pond looks good. The wheel seals on the dump truck look to be holding up. Betty looks to be operational. Soon be time to stock the new pond with -- cat fish ?? :-)

Progress from hard work. Always being busy is my secret to good health
Chris, by the Farm Pond make You the last finish Work. With the Excavator root out young Trees, that the great Oak the Pond side bathen in Light. With Betty the old strong Lady to pile up a great Heap. You have a wonderful Place building, as Water Reservoir and as Place to Relaxation. Congratulation. The Equipment can You for the next Work bring away. 👌👍🤗
That 220 has awesome power and speed Thanks for the Video Chris!! 👍👍
Everything looking tidy chris glad the pond finished Betty's doing a great 👍 job with a all round operator
Be nice if you had one of those big mulching heads that you could put on the old 220.
I'm to old and broken to weld and mechanic anymore but I'd love to follow Chris around with a box of matches, lol
Farm is looking great! Starting to notice a trend on the farm videos. We could probably make a drinking game out of how many times Chris says “just need to take down a few more trees over there”😂
Watching the video in 3d using the Nubia Pad 3d and its great especially in the cab shots, you really start to appreciate the size of the machines and the work they do. Betty looks even better 😊
Looking forward to the big burn. The farm is looking sweeeet!
Betty still has it looks nice the way you have opened it up see through to the Dam and i was hoping you were going to through a match in the burn pile but next time some work coming up for you that's good keep the tracks turning and earning thank's for taking us along again the Dam looks good with a bit of water in it now will look great when full plenty of water to water the hay field's Cheers

Cool video. Enjoyed watching the progress ✌️ 😎
Love the property. Really coming together. Thanks for sharing.
Good job, almost as good as watching “Ants Pants” Chanel.
I was going to cut down some bruch in my back yard. Got looking at it and the birds got nest in them with babys. So now i got to want on it.
Envy is a deadly sin.....
But I wish I had skill and equipment like yours!
A beautiful pond and great job!❤❤❤
This channel has become a favorite of mine...I love your perfectionism like mine....I hope you get some huge pond contracts so it would justify buying the big 550 with a bucket as big as a dumpster...hehe
Would be good to see you growing some new Oaks around the farm instead of removing so many trees…..
Coming along nicely looks good and poor Betty has been regulated to brush pusher but she keeps on ticking even at her age and the stories she could tell about her history
13:24 Chris is thinking “I thought I grabbed that stump!” 😂😂
Me and my 12 year old agree. When you set the camera out so we can see the excavator work, it looks like a Brontosaurus eating lunch. We love all your videos. Allways excited when your alerts pop up
Sweet Betty, your faithful companion! Field is really looking pristine now!
👍👍👏👏👏👍👍
Pond looking great more trees to get down
Im waiting for a big pond project where both 220’s show up together! I’m sure them both shoveling could move some dirt in a day
Still not as much as that 550 moved, that was amazing to see.
Really nice job. Beautiful area❤❤❤
Chris you just like knocking down trees lol
Lol :)
Out here in NW Oklahoma today, I saw a fellow swathing down some wheat for hay, the grain doesn’t have enough value anymore
Five things that Chris wishes for.
1. All trees have no roots.
2. Four consecutive days with no rain.
3. No large water pools in the middle of the roads.
4. No trucks or pieces of equipment stuck in a water logged hole
5. All pieces of equipment never need oil changes.
She starts so good!!
Nice work,looking good👌
Only thing not fun about working on your own property is it doesn't pay the bills 👍👍
Clean UP the Tree Edges and making a little more Pretty ! Good Ol Reliable Betty ! Building up Your Brush and Burn Piles ! Fields are looking Brilliant ! Many Cheers from Australia !!!!
Good job Chris
Farm is looking 👌🏻
Job well done 👍🏻
The branch pluck at 16:20 was skilfully executed imagine the uninitiated in that situation..
Summer of 74 I was doing what you were doing with Betty ! But we worked all night burning the piles as big as houses Miss it
Property value going up daily. A pond like that would raise the property value 80g where I'm from.
Hydraulic power in the right hands is amazing.
Watching Chris clear brush with an excavator, reminds me of an one armed man pulling weeds. It could really be handy if there was a two boomed brush clearing machine.
What about a 1 legged man in an ass kicking contest?
Hahahaha, that's good
Great Minds think alike i was just thinking I wonder if your be Lucky and get another Cut from the Grass I Hope you Do well Betty sure give you a love of Love for your machines no electronics just pure Power Nice Thanks
Chris, Are you going to save the rye grass for a second cutting of hay or pasture it? Old Betty bows her neck and just keeps on pushing!
I think he said it was a one time cutting needs to replant it in grass
Love the videos and as always keep up the great work!
hey Chris i think you should look into a gravity wagon and do haylage. then you can save your round bales for winter time. the farmers up here in NY do that alot. i think it works better for the smaller farms. it is looking like you might be able to do a 2nd cut in a couple weeks i've seen farmers up here cut shorter fields than that. well best of luck from upstate NY
Looking awesome Chris.
Great job,getting there more and more every day.great video 👍👍👍😎😎😎

I am curious how much the new pond will clear up - or remain tannic looking. I'm aware that it's currently tainted from the rains, runoff and the freshly dug pond sediment
Betty a beast. Slow and steady
Go Betty, go😊
Your field looks beautiful!!!!! Once it dies back, what are you going to plant?
Nice going Chris
It's nice to see a hard working man, Chris, but what do you do for fun. We always see your time away from work being equipment related. Of course they do say if you love what you do you never work a day in your life.
Shaping up nicely 👍🏼
Thanks Chris , I really enjoy your videos 👌👍🍺
Need to start calling you the Tree Reaper!!! 😂
It sure must be nice to do your own farm once in a while.
