Chris, many thanks for camera angles, recording and editing. It takes time for all of that out of your already busy schedule. I’m sure I speak for many of your subscribers , we very much appreciate all the effort you put into your channel. Bless and stay safe.
Thanks Chris, I have to say It is just fun to watch you work . All the different equipment you run on a job. The detail you put in. The angles you give us. Your humour and truely putting yourself on the edge. Much appreciated 👍 !!! Stay safe 😷 !! 🇨🇦 Craig
Chris, after watching you using the grader, dozer etc, you are a master of your profession. I love watching a master doing his job, and being a protectionist you really know how to finish any job. It’s no wonder you and the company are in high demand.
I always enjoy watching the motor grader. I'm just starting to get what you are doing with it. Maybe do a Motor Grader For Dummies video? You have touched on what you're doing before, and it helps. I really enjoy all of your videos. I guess I'm vicariously playing in the dirt with your really big Tonka toys. Ahhh, childhood memories... Thanks.
Woooeee !! Gettin' a little Sketchy around the pond there !! lolol.... Great Operator you are Chris.....I just knew when the Dump headed out on that 2nd. load it was gonna just keep goin' down ...lolol... But, He kept the hammer down and went right on !! lolol.. Great work Man !! Have a Great Evening, Stay Safe........
Wish you’d explain how to run a grader when you run it. I know lots of equipment grader is not one of em I don’t even have an understanding to the method of the madness. If you can incorporate something that be awesome thanks for videos tho for sure?!...
Nice video, i mentioned the used yanmar tracks to someone for the field. You have a hose/wire haging down right by the main gear that turns the blade camera has a good angle on it. thanks.
I recently bought a little skidsteer and mini excavator and started my own little company I hope that I'll be able to have some nice big equipment like you run in the future
Be really neat if you could do a little commentary on your thought process when using the grader, for those young fella's, not the keyboard warriors. Like the long grade, blade pitch, creating a windrow etc. Enjoy you content Chris. Greetings from NZ 🇳🇿🇳🇿🇳🇿
Hey, I'm the keyboard warrior not in any business like this, but I would sure love to hear the thought process as well!. I watch him tweak the grader blade and try my best to figure out exactly what he is doing when...
Thanks for all the great videos. Here in B.C., Can. we have to have a cage on our mach. before we can go in t he bush, how are you able to get around that down there? Why is it I never seem to see any merh. timber being saved? Last Q is here we find it quicker to send a faller in for the 10" or bigger wood to f&b it first. Not that he can fall it quicker but what he does save on machine time and wear and tear? Cheers, Billy in Canada.
I work for the county road dept, we use our grader primarily for pulling shoulders and putting down gravel shoulders. Our grader is the only piece of equipment I haven't ran but I have to hand it to those guys, going around mailboxes and power poles and avoiding driveways all while maintaining the grade takes real skill. Grader work isn't easy.
I would love a voice overlay explaining what you are doing. I know a lot of people love just the sound of the machine but you have such a craft I’d love to hear what’s going through your head.
Great camera work there Chris, now add split screen so we can see controls and under grader, fast speed, drone and music. John was getting a bit kamikaze in that old truck. Keep safe.
I said to the wife (capital control executive) I'd love to get a wee D4 with 6 way blade control. Let's say my Christmas wish list got a little longer when I said the price... lol 🇳🇿🇳🇿🇳🇿
Nice video Chris👌i like all the different angels 8n the grader How long did it actually take you to get to run a grader that good? Greetings from Germany and thank you for getting us through this time with your videos
its probably the edibles . but I am surprised the grader can move dirt at those speeds . I like that the controls are hydraulic not computer . nice skills Chris .
Hey mate I’m really loving your vids I never get board of watching your projects! There’s just one thing that I always want to know, how can you feel the difference in materials when you’re digging, like them boulders in the wood or when you’re digging down to a pipe? How do you do that without damaging it? Would love to see you explain it in a video sometime?
Any thoughts on modifying the dozer to let you setup the back for a 3 point hitch? A 6 way blade to follow to fill in the track ruts or a seed drill to plant grass or clover as you drive.
Would it be possible to give us a class on how to operate a grader? We can see you using the controls but could do with an understanding of how to achieve a smooth road with a crown.
Nothing does as good as a grader on finish work. I see why y'all bought a smaller one. I can't imagine tryin to do that w skidsteer. But my boss would want me to LOL. Y'all spend lot of time movin tractors i bet
Chris, you can buy a new city horn at autozone or o'riley's. A whole lot cheaper then the volvo dealer. It may have a little different tone but that won't hurt anything. Or shut up Cliff go play in the road!! lol
I've been watching ur video's for a few years now..I have experience in a 360 and a 180 and dumpers doing street works im from Ireland but I'd like 2 to get into the work ur doin if I cud get my affairs in other wud u have work over there for me it wud b very much appreciated
With stay at home order it give you some time to catch up on some of work around your place by the time everything begin to open up you be all done with all the jobs around your place
Realistically, how big of an advantage is it to use a grader instead of a dozer? Is it just that the blade is so much wider and that will allow you to achieve more consistent grades with less passes? Never ran one before, but it seems like there’s many more moving parts.
Dozer is better over a short distance moving bulk, but can trim as well over that distance. The grader has better control over the long pitch because of its wheel base. Designed to trim more than bulk pusher. Also tracks vs rubber tyres and how the material reacts to the ground pressure. Food for thought
Not being critical... BUT you need to stop rotating the blade under load while traveling its a certain way to cause damage. Its not like ajusting the dozer blade. It may look fancy going along doing it but its not how you use that feature. 🙄🙄🙄🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺😀😀😀😀 keep up the good work just remember slow an steady wins the race.
Chris, many thanks for camera angles, recording and editing. It takes time for all of that out of your already busy schedule. I’m sure I speak for many of your subscribers , we very much appreciate all the effort you put into your channel. Bless and stay safe.
I’ve been stuck in my home for a long long time, and the only way I can make Through this crap is watching you guys. Thanks
Thanks Chris, I have to say It is just fun to watch you work . All the different equipment you run on a job. The detail you put in. The angles you give us. Your humour and truely putting yourself on the edge. Much appreciated 👍 !!! Stay safe 😷 !! 🇨🇦 Craig
That blade perspective is the most satisfying thing I've seen in recent memory.
Chris, after watching you using the grader, dozer etc, you are a master of your profession. I love watching a master doing his job, and being a protectionist you really know how to finish any job. It’s no wonder you and the company are in high demand.
You know, there's just something therapeutical about watching material roll off a mould board....Great work cob!
Chris, you have the best job in the world, working outside each day on something you love doing! Thanks for the great videoes!
Love the grader work!! I could watch it all day!
Such a satisfying thing to watch. Making a mess to create a paradise. And an amazing place. Thanks. Cornwall UK.
I always enjoy watching the motor grader. I'm just starting to get what you are doing with it.

So many levers to get it perfect. Alot of skill there.
Dene B. My ex hubby was a grader driver (among other machines) for VDOT, and it takes quite a bit of specialized skill to run one of those things.
Nice job chris. The pond looks great .what machinery can Do now days just amazing. Keep up the good work and stay safe😀
“Rookie stuff right there”. That’s my signature move.
Awesome job man! Your work is second to none. Thanks for sharing
That was some nice dozer work by the pond. Good operator!!!
Chris, another great job keep them coming 👍 very enjoyable to watch.👍👍🇬🇧
That's looking so good now Chris! Great job, well done! :-)
And you didn't take the 'dozer swimming! Even better! :-)
I just spent all day on our 65 yesterday. Been running the cat blade and took a few minutes to remember the controls on the 65
Woooeee !! Gettin' a little Sketchy around the pond there !! lolol.... Great Operator you are Chris.....I just knew when the Dump headed out on that 2nd. load it was gonna just keep goin' down ...lolol... But, He kept the hammer down and went right on !! lolol.. Great work Man !! Have a Great Evening, Stay Safe........
Another very interesting video, loved the shots from in front of the grader blade. Thank you Chris, be safe.
That will be one beautiful property siting in the sun with a cold beer and a smoke what more could you want 👍🇦🇺
Looks beautiful Chris!
Damn near hydroplaning that dozer ,ain't ya
Loved watching the grader work
Another great video Chris, you Tim and John and yawls family stay safe brother and have a blessed weekend
Thanks for all your effort with your videos great job

Just watched a Grader video with a Case 24m and boom Chris pops up with his Video. I should buy a lottery ticket. LOL...
Very nice again Chris, that grading
The evenness of that erosion shows how level Chris make make a grade.
Going to look awesome when everything comes in
Holy Christmas Chris, you do it all, fun watch.
Enjoyed this video bro, that grader and dozer sure leave a nice finish although you knowing just what to do helps. Stay you guys
Nice video, i mentioned the used yanmar tracks to someone for the field. You have a hose/wire haging down right by the main gear that turns the blade camera has a good angle on it. thanks.

That would be awesome. I can run a track hoe but no way a grader.
Hey, I'm the keyboard warrior not in any business like this, but I would sure love to hear the thought process as well!. I watch him tweak the grader blade and try my best to figure out exactly what he is doing when...
Looks great Chris!!!
The Tonka drivers with all the advice. Thank you for the video. ✔
Thanks for video Chris love it .
Looks really good Chris.

old ones always the best 👍👍
Wish I could get that nice a material to work with, here on the west coast anything less than 6" in considered fines. Cheers, Billy in Canada
That was some tidy work in tricky conditions on that slope on pond. How deep is centre of pond 👍
Great camera work there Chris, now add split screen so we can see controls and under grader, fast speed, drone and music.
John was getting a bit kamikaze in that old truck. Keep safe.
Looks like a professional job as always
nice job. slow and steady wins the race.
It’s amazing what I now find entertaining
2 times I thought that dozer was going in the pond...and yes I have put a dozer in a pond. It was my dozer and my pond so no one got to see it.
I said to the wife (capital control executive) I'd love to get a wee D4 with 6 way blade control. Let's say my Christmas wish list got a little longer when I said the price... lol 🇳🇿🇳🇿🇳🇿
Nice video Chris👌i like all the different angels 8n the grader
How long did it actually take you to get to run a grader that good?
Greetings from Germany and thank you for getting us through this time with your videos
I wish I was down South. My family is in South Carolina and they are starting to open things up... not in the great state of NY.
its probably the edibles . but I am surprised the grader can move dirt at those speeds . I like that the controls are hydraulic not computer . nice skills Chris .

Awesome job bud. From what I've heard those graders are difficult to operate in the aspect of actually making the grade flat and pitched right.
Nice job Chris
might want to tie that wire up before it gets snagged on something, good video once again
I herd you saying something about a fence on one of your videos at your house i guess. How tall is the fence
Guy needs a filling station and rest area on that long driveway.
Any thoughts on modifying the dozer to let you setup the back for a 3 point hitch? A 6 way blade to follow to fill in the track ruts or a seed drill to plant grass or clover as you drive.
Would it be possible to give us a class on how to operate a grader? We can see you using the controls but could do with an understanding of how to achieve a smooth road with a crown.
Looks good chris!
I know you didn't "want" to slide the dozer into the pond, but think of the VIEWS man!!!
Looking good buddy
A lot of that road looks like it is 2A modified that we use when up North. A bit more fines than the material we use though.
Thanks. Australia.
What I find fascinating is trying to figure out which hand to use for steering.
You’re a jam up blade hand right there.
addicted to your channel great job, would enjoy a little bit more commentary :)
It looks like your about due for a new cutting edge on the grader blade.
Nothing does as good as a grader on finish work. I see why y'all bought a smaller one. I can't imagine tryin to do that w skidsteer. But my boss would want me to LOL. Y'all spend lot of time movin tractors i bet
Hey you fixed the starter!
Wow just wow good job
That grader is cool
If you could explain process of grading
great camera angles
That grader would b good on that pond
You're a great operation, but the rocks here in the Ozarks would eat that blade up at least twice a year. :-)
What's hanging under the grader ? ( cable ..wire )
That looks like fun... Oh, i see you kick it in the ass when you get going hua.. Don't hit a snag, good job, I rang the bell ?
Probably a stupid question, but how much “force” is there in the swing?
I believe that's a 95 and they come in at like 15,000+ pounds with like 80hp
Chris, you can buy a new city horn at autozone or o'riley's. A whole lot cheaper then the volvo dealer. It may have a little different tone but that won't hurt anything. Or shut up Cliff go play in the road!! lol
Chris
I'm not sure if that Komatsu is a legal way to catch a perch?
Looks like a nicer day at least
Hi just wondering if the home owner is going to go over the grading with his power rake for his ventrac tractor.
maybe
Why dont you use the blower to dry the dirt out to, so the truck dont get stuck no more. Just dry the dirt out before you get started.
I used to grade with a leeboy mini grader it's an art
..good work...keep safe..
The only way that video could be better is if Lana Rhodes pulled up in the beverage cart.
....... so Who's this Lana Rhodes
What are the factors used to determines if you turn the grader blade left or right?
which side of the road I need the material moved to
I've been watching ur video's for a few years now..I have experience in a 360 and a 180 and dumpers doing street works im from Ireland but I'd like 2 to get into the work ur doin if I cud get my affairs in other wud u have work over there for me it wud b very much appreciated

The long wheelbase of the grader is key in getting consistent road surfaces and a good operator like the one we get to watch.
Dozer is better over a short distance moving bulk, but can trim as well over that distance. The grader has better control over the long pitch because of its wheel base. Designed to trim more than bulk pusher. Also tracks vs rubber tyres and how the material reacts to the ground pressure. Food for thought
I think that was like a smart ass thang just to use the blower for all the people that said something about it. Yea
Did you finally fix the motor grader?! No more special starting device?! Lol
Not being critical... BUT you need to stop rotating the blade under load while traveling its a certain way to cause damage. Its not like ajusting the dozer blade. It may look fancy going along doing it but its not how you use that feature. 🙄🙄🙄🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺😀😀😀😀 keep up the good work just remember slow an steady wins the race.
Horn sounds like a Volkswagen horn lol
