Big ole Betty, what a woman!! Had to smile while she and Barney were working together so amiably. Great purchases for you and was very interesting watching the process of working on those giant wheels. Your farm is looking beautiful…you’ve done a great job!
Such a pleasure to walk through a field you have sown and feel the crop with your hand - saw Dad do it many times. LetsDig18 it looks like a fantastic growth and will give a good hay yield. Good old Betty and Barney with the littlie do a grand job.
Betty & Barney make a great team. The new pasture looks great & will give you some good hay. Chris, you’ve only had the new property a short while & look how much you have improved it!!😊 Take care & cheers 🐨🦘🥰
Nice to see them all up and running... Field looks great! You had a nice end-of-day photo op with the two loaders and that sunset, too. Seems weird to see so much green, for we just got roughly 9 to 10 inches of snow and it was below zero this morning in Williston, North Dakota... lol
Used to haul coal, stick in the nose when dumping, turn your truck over if you weren't careful. Thought a tricycle would be easier dump, never got to try. Chris, you are an inspiration and serve as a great example of what one man can accomplish in life without killing himself if he sets his mind to it. Much admiration and good wishes.
Hey Chris nice looking field. I remember when you 1st bought the farm you couldn't even drive in the driveway and you worked your ass off getting the farm to look beautiful and I haven't missed one video of you working so thank you very much for sharing with me. Be safe and God bless you 🙏
You do great work, Chris. The field looks great, getting the burn piles cleared looks good. You guys have a wonderful farm and it will be nice having your own hay. Thanks for the ride along.
For the years of use your equipment has it looks almost new. Well done on keepin it tight and right. I appreciate the effort and monies it takes to keep it like that. Oh i like the videos too. Thanks for posting.
Betty fills that haul truck pretty fast with that large bucket. Will be interested in seeing how she digs in virgin ground. A lot of weight and power behind her. Slow as she moves on her tracks she might still be fast for loading out clay for dams if she can break it out of the ground.
You did it again! I was wondering how much the “little” loader weighed, it looks pretty nimble, and at the end of the video you go and tell me! You have an uncanny knack of answering questions before they are asked. Enjoyed the video. Thanks!
Good to see Bad Betty and Barney finally back on the job Chris. That 6 inch tall grassy area is why I've said a couple of times ashes should be spread out where you want to plant grass or crops as it's a really good natural fertilizer. One of my hometown farm families the Ferdell's used to do that when they did burn piles of saplings clearing their woodlots surrounding their 1 mile Square farm. They always had really good crops on most of their land and rye grass for the cattle they'd raise for themselves and to sell to our local butcher.
Both loaders back in action, the haul truck is fixed, and the rye is looking great. Hopefully we'll get to see the hay field when it really gets going in early spring. Thanks for bringing us along, Chris.
Yeah, that looked a lot better getting all that moved and smoothed out !! And the field is coming on in really good !! IT is gonna be a good looking field once it gets on up.... Glad you have all the machines back up and running, going to be nice to be able to use them out on the job sites now !! Great as always Chris !! Have a Great Evening Man, And, On too the Next.....
Your Field is Green - the Rye Grass is Growing ! Cleaning Your Field of Stumps and other Stuff and Testing the Dump Truck and Loader ! Betty the old Dinosaur - ha ! Betty passed with Flying Colors ! Brilliant Sun-Set ! Great Video and many Cheers from us in Australia !!!!
Great to see all your machines working, love the way you maintain and keep clean all your equipment and Farmland , no empty Pepsi cans in your cabs Lol have a good day.
Loved the video and always enjoy watching u work on ur farm. Your improvements are shaping up quickly. Enjoy, you've earned it! God's blessings and be careful.
Well sir, if you are getting as much pleasure out of using your equipment as I get out of watching the equipment operating you must have to be having the time of your life. Thanks for the ride along sir.
Had to rewind the video to see how tough that burnt stump was and how powerful the loader is that you were able to pull the dump bed over like a foot and a half to get that stump in💪🏿
a bit of lime and the spots you cleared will be great, man betty she has come a long way since you got her, on the way to being a fine machine, and barney is lookin good too. betty loading barney good stuff
Chris that new Ryegrass/ hay field looks a lot better than most our golf courses and in such short time too. The green really shows up on video. Great job..
Heavy equipment seems to be operating fine thanks to your diligence..The field looks beautiful as the grass breaks the surface too. As usual, nice work all he way around Chris.
Walking to and from is great exercise moving equipment by yourself but what I do is pull my 4 wheeler behind whatever I’m taking to the field. Just run a tow strap through a piece of tubing so it won’t crash into it when you stop. Place looks really good. Can’t wait to see what you do with the pond. Hi from Texas
I don't even need to comment on the convenience of having 2 pieces of equipment and 2 different jobs in 1 large field. LOVE watching old equipment running like a champ.
Your field is looking good,nice base when you go and plant in the spring.the little dozer looks good out there working,can tell she’s a oldie but when it was built I’m sure it was top of the line piece of equipment,how machinery has come a long way.little by little your getting the property laid out how you want it.good video.keep it up 😎😎😎👍👍👍
Advantage of running a end dump without a tailgate, end loading. Could've saved the nicely painted rim from kissing the tracks off the start. I enjoy watching track loaders in use. So many advantages over a wheel loader. After running track loaders for years every time i get into a wheel loader they feel absolutely useless.
Chris, Betty's upper right side (bucket tilt) cylinder has a loop of electrical wire parallel to it that rubs on the muffler when you raise the boom. That may melt through the insulation over time and cause a gremlin.
I can hear old Hank singing "Dinosaur" everytime you fire her up 😆 field looks great. Looking forward to the the invite on the sunflower flower field shoot next year 😆
That must be fun, moving dirt and things, on your own property. Probably not like working on some one else property. Amazing what the equipment you have, will do.
Broadcast grass seed in the rye. .the potash from the ashes put the go in the rye. Also if you can that Timber ground needs some lime. ,probably acidic.
can you use Betty to clear around the new pond you want to enlarge at your new farmland - my best guess is that she has abaut the same tree knock over power as a EC250 excavator - if your main use for her is gonna be pushing over trees id give her trackpads with dozer kleets
Ur gonnalove those 4n1 bkts. Only downfall is can't haul as much material as reg bkt. But that won't affect u w a dump truck handy. Congrats on the farm. Looks awesome!!!!
Hello Chris, thank you for the video. I was wondering if you could talk with Robert about adding a grapple to your loaders. The clam shell works but a grapple loader would be faster. Cheers from Canada.
Field is really coming in. That dirt/roots you moved sure looks like some good growing dirt. I would venture to guess that the corner you cleaned out with that layer of that dirt will be a thick layer of grass if you were to through some seed down. I know you love your loaders, but I have a hard to seeing the real advantage unless you can only have one piece of equipment. Just my opinion. Thanks very much for sharing.
Hi Chris. Have you ever thought about putting solar trickle chargers on the big machines ? I know battery level is always an issue and a slow constant charge would help keep them full especially when the machines are left to sit for a time.
Great job buddy and great video as always buddy love how you called betty a dinosaur 😎👊🏻👍🏻 glad the loaders get to meet each other the 953 does look as small as I thought it would beside betty
I'll have to say Chris, that you have definitely demonstrated, the advantages of having a tracked front loader with a four-way bucket! To have TWO of them, double your pleasure, double your fun! 👏🏽 👍🏼☺
Looks like you’re getting an impressive collection of well-maintained older equipment to complement your wonderful new stuff
Love watching the new field getting reclaimed and cleaned up. Please fix the bad roller that squeaks so bad on the 953 though. 😉

Good to see Barney being put through his paces, I think you were definitely right to do wait for the correct ports s.
Glad to see you got Betty working, I was married to a Betty, could never get her to work.😀
For the years of use your equipment has it looks almost new. Well done on keepin it tight and right. I appreciate the effort and monies it takes to keep it like that. Oh i like the videos too. Thanks for posting.

😊
Great to see all your machines working, love the way you maintain and keep clean all your equipment and Farmland , no empty Pepsi cans in your cabs Lol have a good day.
Loved the video and always enjoy watching u work on ur farm. Your improvements are shaping up quickly. Enjoy, you've earned it! God's blessings and be careful.
Thanks for sharing this day with us bro it made for great viewing seeing your 2 track loaders and Barney playing so nicely together. Safe travels
Oh yeah the field sure looks great with all that good groth.
Those clam buckets are nice but they warp So be carful with them bud. Glad your machines are running strong. Be safe and never give up.
That Betty starts every time. What a sweet sound. Pasture looking good. Thanks Chris.
Thx & congratulations on 600,000 subscribers!!
Well sir, if you are getting as much pleasure out of using your equipment as I get out of watching the equipment operating you must have to be having the time of your life. Thanks for the ride along sir.
Good to see her up and running again.
Boy - that field greened up really nice!!
Hey Chris. Looks like the long hose on the bucket is dragging the ground once in a while. Hope it dont catch on anything! Great video!
Had to rewind the video to see how tough that burnt stump was and how powerful the loader is that you were able to pull the dump bed over like a foot and a half to get that stump in💪🏿
a bit of lime and the spots you cleared will be great, man betty she has come a long way since you got her, on the way to being a fine machine, and barney is lookin good too. betty loading barney good stuff
Fields look great shoval dozers are one of my favorites that's what my dad had it was a John Deere great job great video thanks Chris
Farm is coming along. The rye grass is looking good!! Sunday videos are always welcome.
Glad to see the haul truck up and running again, hope that helped the braking issue you had with the leaking wheel seals.
Chris that new Ryegrass/ hay field looks a lot better than most our golf courses and in such short time too. The green really shows up on video. Great job..
The whole video I wanted to see those two machines side by side, glad you didn't disappoint.
Good to see everything up and running again!
The equipment is working, the field is looking nice and green , all is good Chris 👏👏👏👏👍👌🍺
Nice to see the Dump Truck functional again.
Also those are some squeaky tracks!
Man, I think you love that old beast more than all your new equipment.
Thank you for the videos
Heavy equipment seems to be operating fine thanks to your diligence..The field looks beautiful as the grass breaks the surface too.
As usual, nice work all he way around Chris.
Glad you were able to get Betty and Barney fixed. Will be waiting to see where they go to strut their stuff for you.
Narry a scratch on the haul truck, Chris! 😊
Beautiful pasture...can't wait to see it next spring. 😉👍
The field looks great rye grass looking good. You did a good job Barney now Betty and Barney feel back at home thanks for the video
Walking to and from is great exercise moving equipment by yourself but what I do is pull my 4 wheeler behind whatever I’m taking to the field. Just run a tow strap through a piece of tubing so it won’t crash into it when you stop. Place looks really good. Can’t wait to see what you do with the pond. Hi from Texas
Your grandma just called and said, She wonted her cooking pot back and it ain't no replacement part for Betty. Lol :) And good job!
I don't even need to comment on the convenience of having 2 pieces of equipment and 2 different jobs in 1 large field. LOVE watching old equipment running like a champ.

Living the dream! Damn good looking plot of land to enjoy. Plus test out the toys.
The field looks great! Looks like the haul trucks good to go…

My winter rye grass is growing good since we got a little rain in E Tn Great cover crop Great video Chris
Betty sounds happy to be of service 🙂 nice to see an old timer given a chance to be useful!
If I’m following things correctly, you finally have all your equipment working. That should put a smile on your face 😊.
Chris great job Bernie running good the dozer is working and Betty is great as always great videos. 👍
Your antiDEF equipment collection is looking great 👍!
Chris, Betty's upper right side (bucket tilt) cylinder has a loop of electrical wire parallel to it that rubs on the muffler when you raise the boom. That may melt through the insulation over time and cause a gremlin.
The field looks great!
To make it easier with loading stumps I always use two dozers and loaded used each other that way they can both push into the the other ones bucket
Nice clean up. Beautiful sunset
I can hear old Hank singing "Dinosaur" everytime you fire her up 😆 field looks great. Looking forward to the the invite on the sunflower flower field shoot next year 😆
Field is greening up nicely!
The field looks awesome. The grass is coming in soooo nice.
Man the work you do is awesome I feel it's better for the environment then wind and solar all the clean up you do. Keep up the good work !!!😎
Really enjoy your videos and the farm is looking amazing, but holy moly please replace the bad roller on the 953.
Another fun day on the farm and takeing all the gunk and get it out grees looks great
That must be fun, moving dirt and things, on your own property. Probably not like working on some one else property. Amazing what the equipment you have, will do.
Check that out! Betty and Barney working together. What an awesome team sir.
Broadcast grass seed in the rye. .the potash from the ashes put the go in the rye.
Also if you can that Timber ground needs some lime. ,probably acidic.
can you use Betty to clear around the new pond you want to enlarge at your new farmland - my best guess is that she has abaut the same tree knock over power as a EC250 excavator - if your main use for her is gonna be pushing over trees id give her trackpads with dozer kleets
I CAN SEE THE RESULTS OF YOUR HARD WORK!!!.JUST KEEPS GETTING BETTER ALL THE TIME ⏲️ 😉 🙌.
Another great video, as usual. Looks like a wire or tube is rubbing exhaust muffler on Betty.
Ur gonnalove those 4n1 bkts. Only downfall is can't haul as much material as reg bkt. But that won't affect u w a dump truck handy. Congrats on the farm. Looks awesome!!!!
Looking amazing Chris job well done
Hello Chris, thank you for the video. I was wondering if you could talk with Robert about adding a grapple to your loaders. The clam shell works but a grapple loader would be faster. Cheers from Canada.
Wow Chris, you sure got a lot done today!
Congrats on 600k 18!!
One feature that I enjoyed about the 3 in 1 bucket was clamming a full bucket and not pushing the pile forward
your field turned out fantastic Chris geez you could bowl on this beauty 👌
Congrats on 600K !
Great too watch you operate chris 👍 perfection mate
Bucket tilt ram bush on that 953 looks like it’s seen better days Chris
Well you got everything working cleaned up. Looking good. 👍👍🙂🇨🇦
Field is really coming in. That dirt/roots you moved sure looks like some good growing dirt. I would venture to guess that the corner you cleaned out with that layer of that dirt will be a thick layer of grass if you were to through some seed down.

Nice family portrait!
Next time you come back there might be a little D4 sitting in between them. Cheers from down under.
yesterday the old volvo video of you with john , back with the 210 and 140,
@letsdig18 that grass will get a ton of rain from tropical storm nicole
They're only predicting an inch. I wish it was more so Beale's pond would fill.
The "Rubbles" Rumble again. Very Nice!
Hooray! 600,000!
That field looks better than most yards.
Hi Chris. Have you ever thought about putting solar trickle chargers on the big machines ? I know battery level is always an issue and a slow constant charge would help keep them full especially when the machines are left to sit for a time.
Great job buddy and great video as always buddy love how you called betty a dinosaur 😎👊🏻👍🏻 glad the loaders get to meet each other the 953 does look as small as I thought it would beside betty
Eating my eggs while watching and willing it to go in. Little higher, to the left, nudge it - slurps coffee - there you go.
Hay field is looking GREAT!!
Beautiful farm. Thanks.
I'll have to say Chris, that you have definitely demonstrated, the advantages of having a tracked front loader with a four-way bucket!
To have TWO of them, double your pleasure, double your fun! 👏🏽 👍🏼☺
Looks Amazing and going to be so Beautiful !
