SNAKES! " I'm going to take down one tree" ... 6 minutes later he's opened up a new pad site for building a home. Man, that's some NICE rich looking dirt! Why would five people not like this video? It was informative, interesting and showed how to install a drainage system. Geeze, go figure!
Because its some butt hole that can’t stand it that Chris is got a new Mini from working his ass off 6-7 days a week and they don’t so it pisses them off. Lol. There’s always a bad apple in every pile
Moving your own equipment can save a lot of money. Until getting into big equipment. That gets costly and the liabilitys of it. It’s easier to just hire it out most of the time.
I'm sorry your big metals are broke down! But we just bought a mini for yard and farm projects we need you to do some mini work to teach us how to do it right. Thanks for teaching and doing quality
The New Mini: "Does this trailer make me look small?" Perfect Perspective Setup when the Mini appears, looking so tiny! You excell at Effect. My hat's off to you Chris!
Hi Chris , I don't know how many times you have said something is in backwards. You always look at the big picture not just doing an awesome job but looking out for the Customer . Thought on your part could save them money in future. 👍👌 Couple driveways and you will be all back at full power lol stay safe and Happy 👍.🇨🇦 Craig
Being your own boss is great some days and other days it makes you want to go clock in and work for somebody else. Trust me, I’m five years into it and speak from experience. I will say most days I love the freedom of it though.
I was thinking that... seems like paradise. Where i live, theres always a load of noise, even at night nowadays. I wish i had enough money to live somewhere quiet and peacefull.
@RAH Capital There's always one in a crowd, I can see that your line of work is a professional internet troll, how's the pay? I did my dues, my days are done, I retired years ago, These days, I just feed the birds and watch the grand kids grow up.
16 minutes after upload, I am ready to watch. You have Cherry Cola set up to cut trees like the 220 does - Cool. Nice toothpick maker. Nice touch of using the grading bucket like a mason`s trowel shaping mud at the end of the pipe.
Well Chris that was a good first project for your mini, and like you said it was a quick and easy job. Lol. But anyway brother you and John in yawls family stay safe and keep the videos coming
Funny. I live in an "older" suburb in the Montreal area. My house like most around are 36 y.o. I'm the older owner around in my area. Most houses are now bought by young couples with small children. Most "old" houses are modernized, including landscaping. The other day, I was watching a 30 something guy working with his Yanmar mini and an older skidsteer, doing a complete makeover landscape. While he took a break, we chatted a bit and I told him he reminded you. Heck, he told me, he's been following you for some years and you actually did inspire him to quit his IT, secure but day to day, numbing job. After a quick market analysis, he found the opportunities were endless. He, like you, could work 12/12/7 now ! And he takes 3 months vacation every winter - here, winter is REALLY cold and harsh. With wife and 3 children. Would he ever turn back ? No way ! You live a good life son. 👍
For me, the rolling out of the new FlagShip Yanmar Mini for a maiden project voyage seems quite apropos, given the shenanigans, currently flaring up with the Maxi units...
That's the hard truth about Machines, they work hard for you, so you don't have to. But, eventually, they break. So, don't sell yourself short. You have the Machine, they don't!
@@jaquigreenlees When a coworker gives a piece of machinery a nickname, it's set in stone. Construction site rules. 😉 Also I didn't name it, Chris' friend did.
mercilously and without conscience, the baby Yanmarosaurus attacks its prey, gleefully crunching trunks, shredding limbs, destroying the very roots of its victims…..once satiated, the fledgling Yanmarosaurus turns to calmer and more enjoyable excavating…
I have a Takeuchi TL6R. No DEF but still have the DPF issue. Huge pain in the ass if engine is not run at high enough RPM. Particulate matter, how stupid does that get.
@@sitrucpmek1 The machine needs the higher RPM to build heat for the scrubber to work and get plugged up. Some of the John Deere you need to operate at a high RPM or its trouble.
Modern technology, let's make them have to burn and buy more fuel just to pat our own backs and brag we are environmentally conscience when running for re-election.
I hope you are not using DEF out of the same container that you used on the dozer and excavator. If it is contaminated. It will burnout your injectors and sensors. I had four pieces of equipment go down, two dozers and a excavator within a week due to contaminated DEF. I fixed it, sold it. And bought low hour pre DEF equipment. All the fancy new stuff on the newer equipment. Is useless when you are down.
Chris. everyone sees the jobs and in some cases the frustrations associated with weather/third parties. Show them the hidden costs of running equipment. people believe these bits of kit don't break down . How so you plan and cost for that>>>>>>
The EPA is on a warpath through 2023 catching people deleting their pickup trucks and finding the people who sold those units and installed them. I'm talking about massive fines. several hundreds of thousands of dollars I see even seen a couple of people who's getting fined over over a million.
@@freedomfan4272 I have not heard of a single person being fined for off road equipment. Plus the people that do it right aren’t trying to be coal burners like the idiots out there are doing.
Man that’s a nice looking mini. 👍 by the way, I like it when you show how much you have to get in and out of the excavator to make work happen. I like seeing all the other stuff “behind the scenes.”
Great video, but I do have a question. What can you do to prevent a culvert install like that from washing out in the heavy wet season? I mean specifically the more shallow ones.
Nice job, mini to the rescue, never hurts to make a customer happy and get the project done earlier than estimated. Do you ever have nightmares of back up beepers that you can't find or turn off? lol

The new mini is looking good !! It’s also nice to see someone thinking ahead and putting the pipe in the right way . Great job as usual sir !!

It's just how it is. I always average right at 2 dislikes per hundred likes 🤷♂️ 🤔 or maybe I just suck.
You can sure see the difference in the sandy soil when trees dump leaves over and over - turns into loam. Love that swivel head !
You deserve NEW EQUIPMENT. Personally very impressed with Yanmar Equipment.
Like the new color scheme ! * ! * !
Having an angle blade on that will come in pretty handy I'm sure. Nice machine.
Good to see you back sharing the work with us. tks
The machine is such a nice little addition to your fleet, I'm so very pleased for you Chris - wishing you nothing but prosperity and good days ahead!
He can also trailer it which must be a huge advantage over the bigger machines.

Another completed job by Hammer fist Chris.👌🏻👍💯
Another good job Chris, I love seeing the grading blade and the working! Thanks for sharing brother! 👌🏻👍🏻👍🏻

You’ve definitely got talent! You may have a future in this business lol
Only if he stops breaking everything!
Bryan Lamb
🤣🤣🤣🤣 Yep, he's got a bright future !
You are so good you could comb somebody’s hair with that thing.
40 dislikes, must be equipment operators that don’t have Chris’s skill!
12:30 sunny, birds singing and chirping, must feel great to be your own boss. life is good. The new mini works great.

Even the Yanmar is used as Crunch-O-Matic on trees.😬 That’s a Very Nice piece of equipment.👍
He says "I'm going to take down one tree" Yep, and I'm going to have one Dorito.
Trees are are always pissing him off!
He probably told the owner, “uh, taking down trees 🌲 🌳, that’s no extra charge” :-)
🤣🤣🤣🤣right
LMBO!!!!
🤣😂🤣👍🏼
That looks like some good tobacco, peanut, and cotton growing dirt. 👍
nice surface finish, amazing how delicate you can move the grading bucket.. nice job
Thanks for explaining why the dirt was different colors
Wow Chris is using his own muscle to move pipe around.🤣🤣Great video thank you for posting it.

Strawberry shortcake making some dollars 🤣
I love the work you do. It’s a pleasure watching you.
That little digger gott'a done bro. Safe travels
No more ditch jumping for the horse or tractor figuring out where to cross. Grass seed & straw, it will blend right in.
For me, the rolling out of the new FlagShip Yanmar Mini for a maiden project voyage seems quite apropos, given the shenanigans, currently flaring up with the Maxi units...
Looks like that new mini is going work out good for you .
Fried day morning ripping trees out in the long grass with little red.
Enjoyed the maiden video of the new mini. Was gonna ask what’s next but thinking repairs to the other equipment may be first !!
that mini did well worked a bit to get the stump out but did the job just fine
remember the bigger the equipment bigger the problems that's why I like compact stuff.
While Chris was moving the pipes into place, I could hear all the birds and cicadas. NC is obviously a wonderful place.
THEY'RE CHEARING HIM ON!
That's the hard truth about Machines, they work hard for you, so you don't have to. But, eventually, they break. So, don't sell yourself short. You have the Machine, they don't!
when does the "Letsdig18 Strawberry Shortcake" merch come out?
ABOUT TWO MONTHS AGO. YOU MAY MISS THE VIDEO.
@@josianrodriguez1249 There is no SS merch
This is the Most Manual Labor 🥵 we’ve seen you Perform in the past 250+ hours of video. 😬👍
No, I've seen him run the chainsaw a few times lately.
It’s for a girl
Sounds like you're feeling much better now Chris! glad you're on the mend.
Shortcake got the job done....Wonder what the status is on the trac and Dozer?? They are the bread & butter to Letsdig18. 🤞🏼 🤞🏼
nice quick job. have a great weekend.
I knew you could not take just 1 tree down ! Looks like your new strawberry shortcake work just great.
Nice to see Big Red making money!
That's not her name.
you meant Strawberry Shortcake when you posted that horrid name for a mini?
@@jaquigreenlees When a coworker gives a piece of machinery a nickname, it's set in stone. Construction site rules. 😉
Also I didn't name it, Chris' friend did.
@@rabid_1 damn right! It’s strawberry shortcake. Weather he likes it or not 😊
The new mini's name is Сєвєродоне́цьк, adore her, say her name tenderly and with passion.
Actual soil this time, Can definitely grow grass in that stuff 🌱🌾
It's so cute.
I believe Chris could do dentistry work with that Mini!!
Another great job

Nice little job for your new machine Chris 👏👏👏👏👍🇬🇧😎
Nice work on perspective.
Like the intro!!
Imagine having to dig that all out by shovel as they did in the old days. Great little machine Chris, and a very competent operator. Bob. New Zealand.
Strawberry Cheese Cake is going to have to work like a rented mule until the DEF situation is sorted out! :) But I think she likes it!
Funny how you're so used to being able to take a tree out with the big machine and you have to get used to taking one down with the mini
Was that Tim working outside the air-conditioned cab?
Maybe a dump truck will be next on the shopping list?
Clean dirt, that's like saying jumbo shrimp. Lol
Good to see you're not sick anymore.....Winston might think otherwise and like you around the house!
Strawberry Shortcake! Wouldn't ya know!

Horses having to cross a little ditch. Can you imagine? How in the world did horses make it so many years having to cross such expanses?
Your new mini has huge buckets lol hope you get your other units fixed soon bud
Looks like strawberry shortcake did good on his first little job. Lol
Chris. everyone sees the jobs and in some cases the frustrations associated with weather/third parties. Show them the hidden costs of running equipment. people believe these bits of kit don't break down . How so you plan and cost for that>>>>>>
I’d hate to get scratches on that new red toy. I need to learn how to use one of these at my property up North!
You may want to check on getting those units deleted. If the warranty is out on the units, I would not hesitate.
The EPA is on a warpath through 2023 catching people deleting their pickup trucks and finding the people who sold those units and installed them. I'm talking about massive fines. several hundreds of thousands of dollars I see even seen a couple of people who's getting fined over over a million.

The mini hydraulics sounds noisier then Volvo? What a beautiful day, have a good weekend.
Closer to the motor perhaps 🤔
Your probably resting your arm right on the hydro pump and valve body
👍👍👌 does the new machine have more /less/equal power to the older yanmars ??
Chances of two (2) of your Largest pieces of Equipment Breaking Down at same time is Slim.☹️👎
Yup, i did 27 sticks of 18" double wall years ago. price now!!
Scary, right !! 😳
that was fun
Just got a quote on 400' of 18" this week. $351.80 plus tax for 20'.
Must be contractors’ prices. I cant do that, and i have over 500’ to run.
Is that single or doublewall?
@@cathiwim It was double wall, 1820DW.
Nice job Chris, the mini worked perfect.
Doesn’t want the horses have to step over a 1 foot ditch……bless those rich horse ladies.
One wrong step and that’s a broken leg. Now your horse is dead.
There is a fence going up
You paint better than hunter does. Looks great.
Nice little quick job take what you can get nowadays nice job Chris 👍😎
so relaxing seeing ya work that bucket! if ya posted how ya meticulously buttered a bagel/slice of bread it would be equally as relaxing!!
It's funny where you put the camera because you're just trying to show us the pretty nature lmao
Wonder what happened to the borrow pit? I might have put the trees in it I guess.
With recycling it’s insane that anything made of plastic should cost that much.
You should tell the home owner
What a dump truck load of that soil is worth $$$
Has Geoff Beale shown you photos of 3 trailers we use in UK Make load Volvo excavators and dumptruck or Dozer
Great video Chris 🇺🇲
You ever thought about charging people to do this for a living? :)
Man that’s a nice looking mini. 👍 by the way, I like it when you show how much you have to get in and out of the excavator to make work happen. I like seeing all the other stuff “behind the scenes.”

How many trees are you going to take out Chris? 🤣😂🤣 Good job with Strawbs. Take care & cheers from 🐨🦘🥰👍🏼

Ok Jason, what’s ur thoughts on “Tokyo Rose” …. Lil shorter …. Japanese machine…. It’s red….
You named ‘er right!
Hey Jason you couldn't have pick a better name but some people are trying to change it 😭
Can't wait until you get back on. You have great stuff 👍
@@ryanhoward1013 that’s alright, I’ve got a direct line to the man himself and I’m not giving up 😉
Why does the old mini seem smoother to operate?
If a tree gets ripped out by the roots do you hear it? Nope, not over the sound of the hydraulics for sure, and maybe the backup beeper! 🤦♂️
Nice job, mini to the rescue, never hurts to make a customer happy and get the project done earlier than estimated. Do you ever have nightmares of back up beepers that you can't find or turn off? lol
And you didn't break anything. That's a plus
Easy money 18.Does your new mini have Heat /AC?
Now the only tool missing in your arsenal is a wire-cutter, to kill that beep. :)
Pisses off my Pomeranian when it goes off !!!
Nice to see you feeling a little better, Chris; and earning again !
...good time to put 'er to work makin' some cash...stay safe..
Kuul video 📹 production. Love that. Let's go make some money!!
OMG! How much of his equipment is broken?!?? I've never seen him use anything except a machine to move a pipe before!
