Chris, I speak on behalf of all the long time subs that don’t comment but we greatly appreciate how frequently you’ve been posting over the months! You do t realize how much of a reason you are for us to be on TH-cam. Keep it up brother!
I'm impressed by how much ware and tare the 350 is saving your 220. The way you can take out a forest of trees in a hurry is amazing. The stumper is huge. But the graple makes it look so small. You've got a great matched set of equipment for what you do, Chris.
Chris, I've been with you from the beginning, I'm old and full of arthritis now so I live vicariously through your exploits. Thanks for being such a entertaining and productive U-Tuber.
Chris, sir, sincerely thank you for taking the time to film and edit everything for us all to watch. I find the videos informative and interesting to watch. Thank you
This was another fun one, Chris. The amount of work you can accomplish by yourself is phenomenal. Thank you for standing next to the Graptor Rake. It still is hard to grasp just how huge your machines are. Thank you for sharing with us all and bringing us along for the ride. The little girl in me is still thrilled at watching big machines go.
From this grandmother in Queensland Australia, who loves sitting down to watch you hard at work every day ❤ I want to wish you a very blessed Christmas season, you and your family... ❤ 🎉 And thank you for all the filming/editing you do, just so folk like me can enjoy, and appreciate all the hard work you do, always to perfection 🥰
I'm sure you have new viewers all the time Cris. You can never show us too often how big the grapple or the buckets are on those machines. It always helps keep things in perspective.
Great job 👍🏻 love the cup and broom in the 350 and how the radio played in the 350 love how you said oh I didn’t want to end the video just yet 2:03 love the camera angle 14:08 love the camera angle
It has been fun to watch Chris transition. When I first started watching he hated the stumper and only. used it as a last resort. But as he figured out how to make the most of it and systems for using it, it has become his go to tool for clearing. The power of the 350 and the larger stumper has had a bit to do with that though. Sure speeds up all of his clearing though.
I am excited to reintroduce this channel to my son. I found you about 2-3 years ago and he did like some of the scenes but was too young to stay tuned. I was just suggested this video last night and I am battling TH-cam's algorithm to not let him see bad content. This will be awesome. I think he's going to love it. Thank you for always staying PG. This content is for all ages. Idc what anyone says
Chris, I'm actually amazed at how much work you get done on your own. The energy and professionalism you exhibit is definitely a big part of why I look forward every day to a new Letsdig18 episode popping up in my feed.
Boy. Oh boy, I'm going to have to sell a job next year that requires a 350 rental. My face will prolly rip from the grin. The power and grace of your performance is inspiring. Be safe.
It just amazes me how fast the brush burns down. I cleaned 30 acres with 2-316’s. Would work all day taking down trees and stacking them on the burn pile and it was gone by the end of the day.
That's why your gear always looks well kept up. Always watching what is around your backside to keep from getting scraped and the cans of touch up paint.
enjoyed the longer video Chris, with all the different camera angles, lots of snap crackle and pop.. long day for you without any lunch, I love your work, thanks for taking us along for the ride..
Excellent stumping video tonite Chris. Had no idea the stumper had a serated edge in the rear between the forks. Love the way it just snaps there those pines into. Your video tonight was very good. Thanks.

Chris your videos are so much more interesting with the commentary. Especially when you throw in some humour like 'is the dump truck about to get stuck? I don't think I'll ever get tired of watching your stuff.
Chris I just wanted to say thank you for all the adventures you have taken all the viewers on so far. Have a wonderful Christmas to you and your family, and also the viewers.
That’s the best camera work ever thank you so much for all that you do you are the best and the sun set and bon fire 🔥 was the best wishing you a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year ❤😊
Man watching that 90,000lb machine skate around at 22:20ish was something else! The ground starting to freeze down there? On the new truck, I keep saying to my self, if these last couple of jobs don’t justify a bigger truck, nothing will!
I agree with the previous comment and would also like to thank you for the great camera work. We know how much it slows you down running in and out of the cab to set up camera angles in the cold and mud.
Chris, Love and Appreicate all your videos, and all your jobs either with geoff or seperately. Soon to be a 68 yr old senior woman and never ran equiptment, and funny how I know more about all this from watching all your videos along with others🙂I would love to find something that I am good at to where I can make a living off it and enjoy what I am doing wihtout ever worring about a BOSS! I understand, Jobs , Timelines , placeing equiptment at job places and getting it all done in proper time and dealing with weather,I understand it is not easy, but I so enjoy your professionalism and your expernece in doing all of them and filming , editing and sharing with all of us, PLUS it keeps a documentation on all your jobs as well. Awesome! How you do down at the Competition?? Or did Mike [ Dirt Perfect ] win 1st again?
Lol - can't wait to see some more work being done to the new truck!!! What a year this has been Chris! Honestly - I have really enjoyed this year - thanks!
Just love the sound of work in the bush - reminds me of Dad working the draught horses ion the farm - before we purchased a tractor. Lots done this Day and that fire was a beauty - wasn't going out that's for sure.
06:45 You don't realize how big and powerful that arm and grab really are until a person stands up close to it. Man, all those hydraulics! I wouldn't fancy arm-wrestling with that thing; I reckon I'd lose every time!
Chris you are so smooth with those controls, that the way you move that stumper and hook those trees and snap them in half, looks like an extention of your arm. When that 350 is done knocking down trees, it looks like a tornado came through, that is one incredible piece of machinery, be well my friend.
The time that put the Graptor rake size in perspective for me was the first time you used it and we saw you loading barney from the back and the rake was almost as wide as Barney is... Yeah, it's tall too... that's why it seems to pick up truck fulls... That fire at the end was a very pretty sight... Thanks.
Barney's a good 'ol rig for sure. But I noticed your decals are peeling back at the edges. Some clear coat spray paint sprayed all around the edges of new stickers can usually prevent that from happening.
Cris, I like your idea of a small campfire. Look forward to watching your videos every day probably for the last seven or eight years merry Christmas and happy New Year’s to you and your family Ray from Oregon.
Chris i watch all your videos and those trees dont bully that 350. Barney said he is mad at you for buying that other truck lol. I love both 220 machines but man the 350 is a beast. Have a great night buddy.8

It’s very satisfying when the 350 with the stumper just snaps pine trees like toothpicks!

yeah it cuts alot of tasks in half on the amount of time it takes to do them with the 350
wear and tear

thanks for being with me for all the years!
The man knows how it’s done . Most times !
I too have been with him for a long time! I always loved the house/building demos! Such an expert touch! Merry Christmas!
Great video Chris. The 350 makes it look easy but I think it has more to do with the operator. 😊

8:15 - The perfect tool for forestry tasks! 🌲
When the 350 is stretching to top out the pile, that's a BIG campfire!!!
Thanks for sharing 🇨🇦

Thanks Chris, appreciate the commentary and videos, thanks for a good year of viewing, “MERRY CHRISTMAS” and a “HAPPY NEW YEAR”.
I'm sure you have new viewers all the time Cris. You can never show us too often how big the grapple or the buckets are on those machines. It always helps keep things in perspective.
Park his pickup next to the bucket and it practically disappears.
That 350 snaps the trees like toothpicks
You have Barney now Chris . .name your newest one Fred . .lol thanks for the enjoyment.
Beat me to it 😂👍
Think a lot of us were thinking the same thing
The amount of power the 350 has is insane. The boom cam really puts it into a new perspective.
Liked that Push/Twist/Break technique with the stumper.
Always enjoy the videos and the work!! I see you are coming up on 700k subscribers!! Come on people!!
50:54 Now THAT is a FIRE.🔥
Good video, creative use of camera angles 👌
Great job 👍🏻 love the cup and broom in the 350 and how the radio played in the 350 love how you said oh I didn’t want to end the video just yet 2:03 love the camera angle 14:08 love the camera angle
Great video Chris, Canada is watching!!...Love the new clam attachment, It makes short work for loading the all bush junk and pine straw.

I love the view from the boom looking down at the grapple.
that was aq really cool shot how much it filled barney on the first grapple full,thanks chris how much fun you bring to us,merry christmas
Parked my truck jumped in the bunk popped up the video that first look going into the truck messed with me till I figured it out
Almost scary at 1st but it was a different perspective for sure & I liked it & on the front end of the truck.

You’re a driver so was I until 2019 when I sold the truck a W900
Boy. Oh boy, I'm going to have to sell a job next year that requires a 350 rental. My face will prolly rip from the grin. The power and grace of your performance is inspiring. Be safe.
Pyro reporting in. . . Wish conditions for burning were always this good . . . love that no chainsaw tree snapping technique. Great video.
Dude that 350 is a freaking beast. Goes thru those pine trees like butter. Great video. Thanks for the ride.
Putting The camera on the boom is better than any carnival ride I've been on.
Keep the videos coming chris merry christmas to all👍☃️
You can do twice as much when you get Fred going.
yeah im excited to get that thing on the job
@@letsdig18
Just be patient all things in the proper time.
Merry Christmas to you Chris and your Uncle John.
It just amazes me how fast the brush burns down. I cleaned 30 acres with 2-316’s. Would work all day taking down trees and stacking them on the burn pile and it was gone by the end of the day.
Oh my you don't mind sticking that new 350s boom out in the trees lol I'd cry 😂
haha the stick and bucket are fair game but I cry if anything else gets scratched
That's why your gear always looks well kept up. Always watching what is around your backside to keep from getting scraped and the cans of touch up paint.
@letsdig18 yeah no doubt hah!
enjoyed the longer video Chris, with all the different camera angles, lots of snap crackle and pop.. long day for you without any lunch, I love your work, thanks for taking us along for the ride..

I appreciate all the different camera angles. Your efforts don't go unnoticed
Yeah that Graptor is something special, the volume and gripping power is incredible.
the new "timber and snap" is working a treat, Chris!
I really like the “new camera view” showing you snapping the pine trees with the stumper!
Nice shots of the grapple at work.
There is an 'art' to burning brush. You have it mastered!

That root ripper is Tough AF, subtle twist on the controls,,snaps those twigs!!.wooosh them off to the side,fluid movements Chris!
That 350 is a beast.
Barney is great for trees and brush, Fred will be great for dirt and mud with the tailgate.
The ditch creates a nice chimney effect that burns brush nicely without a fan.
That grapple is awesome I'm always impressed by how big it is and what you can grab with it
I always like it when Chris says "Ok, we wil let it burn down a while" And he throws another three truckloads on the fire😋
Chris your videos are so much more interesting with the commentary. Especially when you throw in some humour like 'is the dump truck about to get stuck? I don't think I'll ever get tired of watching your stuff.
Great job with this video. They're all good but this one was outstanding. Nicely rounded off with the sunset. Thank you.
22:30 It's nice to have a big enough machine so you don't have to struggle to do what you want to do.
Chris I just wanted to say thank you for all the adventures you have taken all the viewers on so far. Have a wonderful Christmas to you and your family, and also the viewers.
OK I'm sold, the 350 makes taking down trees all day a fun job
And stumps too.
@@JohnShalamskas Yes, I meant them as well. His method using the stumper to break the tree is a productive way.
With the camera and mic so close to the action you get a real sense of the power of the 350.
The camera angles in the beginning fooled me. Thank you and have a great week.
That's one thing I miss about working in EMS, watching the sun come up over the local Wall Mart!
That’s the best camera work ever thank you so much for all that you do you are the best and the sun set and bon fire 🔥 was the best wishing you a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year ❤😊
Awesome shot of the grapple. Showed how big it is.🙂
Your just always surprising us with new camera angles. ..
This might be one of the most productive fires you have made. The way you can dump right in. Stack is a little and carry on.
Gettin er done with ease. Snapping trees like a boss. Have a Merry Christmas Chris.
Giddy up BARNEY let's rock-n-roll 🤠
In your list of achievements for the day, don't discount entertaining 80,000+ viewers. Much appreciated.
It amazes me how much that picks up
You have that snapping of the trunk move down pat. Have a Very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
I’m glad I’m not a tree 🌴
At my age I love to watch other people work I just don't want to do any myself I can fall asleep watching other people work.
Yes I have to agree with you on that. I’m to old, to fat, and to lazy to work hard.
