Never in my life would I have ever expected that I’d get such enjoyment watching someone i don’t even really know putting in ponds, dredging ponds, roads, house lots, and the countless other things we watch u do in your day to day 7 days a week, down to filing in a borrow pit and making it looks like it was never there !!! You’re the reason I watch TH-cam and still, by far, may favorite channel !!! Just wanted to say how much I/ we appreciate you Chris !! Thank you!! 😁
I agree. I get into each episode. I have dodged flying mud. Even watch for snakes and I'm no where near. For me It's like being the guy in the cab though. 😊😊👍👍 Excellent channel. I just wish there was a playlist so I can go back and watch each one from start to finish a little easier. I have watch allot of them multiple times. CHRIS. Thank you for making these videos.
You never leave a mess after a job is done Chris.We need more men like you on the job.Nice work.Thanks for the great videos.Makes me want to get back on the job again.
Man those shots where you were coming right up to the camera are too cool. Great Production work. You have an excellent eye for content to highlight a perfect segment!
Bam !! Bam !! Just like that, IT's done and looks Great Chris !! I enjoy watching when you do little things like that . To many it's just filing in a hole but, I'm watching how you do your lifts, and Grade on the Dozer, trying to catch all the subtle tricks you do while operating each machine. Thanks for sharing Chris !! Great as always !! On to the Next !!
A monumental task of filling in the "Grand Canyon" of borrow pits. That long road needed a lot so not surprised the borrow pit was that huge. Making it look pretty.
Lol, was sitting here thinking why doesn't he use a bull dozer... And I wonder how much that excavator weighs. Then in one sentence my questions were answered! Love the videos. Keep them coming!
Awesome piece of work Right there.like if there wasnt any hole To Start out with.nicely graded like the cat had licked it clean 😁. Nice job Chris.you know your Stuff for sure and always get it Right. That what MAKES you To a great Machinery operator. 😀👌👌
So check this out! Just got my big screen Smart TV connected to TH-cam. So now can watch you on a HD 24"x42" instead of my 1.5" x 1.5" phone screen. Wow some much better and the crisp detail! I think I might even can watch you in 3D if get the glasses! Years of phone screen now this ! So cool. And all the others guys as well! Love it!
Well Chris another great video brother you and John done a great job on the borrow pit can’t even tell you dug dirt out of there anyway brother you and John and your families y’all stay safe and can’t wait to the next video. I’ll be glad when you get back over to the animal shelter project and see what it’s like after they blasted the rocks
Just wait and answers will be given. Thank you for explain, in the video, why you use the excavator instead of the bulldozer. Looks nice and you would not know it was there.
When our alien creator overlords come back to see how we're doing, they are going to be amazed and exclaim "Crazy how they liked to dig holes and bury stuff!"
When they see us tethered to dogs , picking up the pooh and carrying it when ever the dog poohs they will know who the real boss is and say "What the hell happened to our creation. I guess it's time to flood this place again and start over! !"
Won't it create low spots when the big stumps and pieces of wood decompose over time? Will there have to be more dirt added over time? Love to watch your videos, keep up the good work.
Chris, it looks like something rolls off from your machine there at 15:07 outside the left track! I hope it was just something the track grabbed and nothing serious!
Classic trucks, yeah! I don’t think that 300 gallons per day is correct, maybe closer to 100 gallons per day. The weight of the machine is only part of the compaction calculation. Track contact area is just as important as weight of the machine. Many dozers are LGP so they are not great at compacting, a crawler loader may be the better machine to use.
I HAVE BEEN FOLLOWING YOU FOR SOME TIME NOW. I ADMIRE YOUR WORK BUT I WONDER IF YOU CAN ACTUALLY FIGURE OUT THE COSTS FOR EACH JOB AND AND HOW LONG IT WILL TAKE?.THERE MUST BE OVER RUNS AND IS THERE A CONTINGENCY PLAN FOR THAT? PLEASE LET ME KNOW. THANKS. 😎😏

Check out ViceGrip Garage, family friendly and a super nice guy. Between that and this, my 2 favorite shows to watch!

I have watch allot of them multiple times.
CHRIS. Thank you for making these videos.
Yea Tony, I to fill the same way about watching Chris everyday, I watch them in the morning time lol
Ditto!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@@ragingcurrent3250 Mustie1 has a lot of "will it run?" videos.
Man I'm hooked on your videos. You are a "MASTER" in moving dirt.👍👍👍
No one eyeballs a grade better than Chris. Magician! 🎩
You never leave a mess after a job is done Chris.We need more men like you on the job.Nice work.Thanks for the great videos.Makes me want to get back on the job again.
It’s as if you weren’t even there.👍 brilliant job Chris
I love your longer videos, they're much more fulfilling and enjoyable.
Man those shots where you were coming right up to the camera are too cool. Great Production work. You have an excellent eye for content to highlight a perfect segment!
That borrow pit would make a great garden plot once it is filled in.
I don't know what it is, but watching the dozer and grader is mesmerizing.
Chris it is so relaxing to watch your channel. Fantastic work
You will probably be back in a few years to dig a pond and remember the big hole you filled in.🤔😏😁
Looking good 👍👍

Finally something decent to watch other than the election. I was just about to throw a beer at the TV

I am loading rounds in AR magazines, getting ready for the chaos
Ohhh dont waste a beer on that!!😁
@@wildbill3224 Moronic comment.
@Jethro Bodine your right there bud
Congrats on 350k subscribers.
Looks great Chris 🇺🇲
Aw that's a shame.. was thinking put a decent shelter down there, then cover it over with the dirt and you have the ultimate bunker down there
Beautiful work
Lol, was sitting here thinking why doesn't he use a bull dozer... And I wonder how much that excavator weighs. Then in one sentence my questions were answered! Love the videos. Keep them coming!
A really great video Chris! Thank you!
Nice! I've been watching you dig that hole for a while now, and looking forward to this moment!
Awsome work bro
Amazing. Great job - as always.

Love the videos, new to the channel. Watching you work makes me feel I should have been an operator, loved my tonka's years ago
This job was so much fun.. I watched every second of this job it was great you did amazing on this. :)
Like the video and the 250 exc, is heavy it compact very wel .
So check this out! Just got my big screen Smart TV connected to TH-cam. So now can watch you on a HD 24"x42" instead of my 1.5" x 1.5" phone screen. Wow some much better and the crisp detail!

I love watching you work, you always do a great job.
That is such a neat dozer, does a very good job for it’s size. Thanks.
You would never know there was a pit there . Looks good
Chris, It is a pleasure to watch you work and the pride you have in your work, that is a beautiful job... congrats....

Hi again from North Wales in the UK!
Steve cobb in the internet house
@@billymallon7342 AND so is Sir Billy Mallon! Greetings to you!
@@stevecobb6001 yes mate hello to you from Dublin how are you
There was a digger on Colwyn Bay beach today. Freezing cold. Looks warmer in Carolina
@@AntoniEmanuel7328 hi mate how are you
I’ve got an old Buick that needs to be disposed of next time there’s a pit to be filled. FREE!!!
Did you steal it? Lol.
@Samuel Lim nope just a "rolled up carpet" lol
Well done. Clear, flat, good looking.
Oh cool! Chris is making a time capsule :)
Well Chris another great video brother you and John done a great job on the borrow pit can’t even tell you dug dirt out of there anyway brother you and John and your families y’all stay safe and can’t wait to the next video. I’ll be glad when you get back over to the animal shelter project and see what it’s like after they blasted the rocks
Digging holes and filling them up again what's not to like about that, makes for a good video too bro.
Not sure but I think that borrow pit could be seen from the Moon. 😵
The owner just picked up more usable land! 👍
nice job nice 250 volvo !
thanks bud!!
You’re a true operator. Nice job
It is interesting to check your hands when you are digging. They are in constant motion.
Great job. Hopefully no water starts to collect there or you might need a few more loads of dirt
Just wait and answers will be given. Thank you for explain, in the video, why you use the excavator instead of the bulldozer. Looks nice and you would not know it was there.
Chris could you do a video showing your control movements and what they make the machines do sometime please, thanks?
sounds like you put that thing in power mode hoggin that dirt in the pit!
jimmy hoffa comes to mind
NICE JOB WELL DONE LIKE ALWAYS. SALUDOS.
When you tracked in the first layer, how much did it compress. Looked like a foot?
Looking good.
I was thinking about wot you had said them pine trees' they are like politician's like to stand tall' but can break under pressure...
Do they make a push blade for the larger excavators? I can see where it would be a helpful thing...
When our alien creator overlords come back to see how we're doing, they are going to be amazed and exclaim "Crazy how they liked to dig holes and bury stuff!"
don't forget boiling water by every imaginable energy source
gas, oil, coal, wood, solar, geothermal, nuclear
humans; we boilin' water!
When they see us tethered to dogs , picking up the pooh and carrying it when ever the dog poohs they will know who the real boss is and say "What the hell happened to our creation. I guess it's time to flood this place again and start over! !"
(Italian accent) Hey forget about it youse saying da ain't no decomposing bodies just saying
Good job on the cover up.
Another great video from this big job that you have been doing over a period of time, Turned out really well......
And all you need now is about 5 inches of rain overnight to set the dirt in place. YeeeeeHaw!
Won't it create low spots when the big stumps and pieces of wood decompose over time? Will there have to be more dirt added over time? Love to watch your videos, keep up the good work.
Stumps with dirt still on them will usually never rot, you could dig them up in 10 years and theyd look the same
I guess that answers my question 😆
"not bad" , 36 minutes to fill a mammoth borrow pit and tidy up ! i hope you charged them the full hour! imagine the work you could achieve in a day !
Should’ve checked that hole before filling it in. May of found some more Democratic votes for North Carolina.
Only I will know the answer to that one...
@@letsdig18 we will just find out on the 12th now I guess
You should have saved a spot for more Democratic votes to go in.
Thank goodness, a political statement. I was getting worried.
great job as always buddy 😎👊🏻👍🏻 is the window in the bulldozer cracked
Do loggers generally leave as much mess as they did on this property?
That pit was pretty deep, great video. Kevin
Stump Tossing, should be an Olympic event..... Ever notice that an excavator guy fills a hole with an excavator, whilst a dozer guy uses a dozer?
👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🗽🙏🏻 Enjoyed!
speaking of borrow pit and ponds, have you even hit underground springs when digging
So much more enjoyable doing that kind of dozer work. Just make it look good and blend it in. Way better than cutting to grade off the drawing.
Chris, it looks like something rolls off from your machine there at 15:07 outside the left track! I hope it was just something the track grabbed and nothing serious!
When you run out of dirt, well, there's a free pond.
Hey Chris you should start a excavator / bulldozer theme park for budding dirt shifters. At 73 I’d be the first in the queue. Great video as always.
I was just thinking “why not the dozer” when you answered the question.
Lol I’m still waiting so I must not got to that part cuz that’s what I’m thinking , ya need a dozer ,lol.
You should have collaborated with Colin Furze!
I would have been using the bulldozer to fill it in
Paid by the hour
@@shitloveaduck Thanku for that explanation, i thought the dozer would be first choice but i now see why Chris did it his way.
Classic trucks, yeah! I don’t think that 300 gallons per day is correct, maybe closer to 100 gallons per day. The weight of the machine is only part of the compaction calculation. Track contact area is just as important as weight of the machine. Many dozers are LGP so they are not great at compacting, a crawler loader may be the better machine to use.
Shame there were no creeks close by, had the makings of a decent pond and would have saved a lot of effort.
You need a larger Dozer... A mans Dozer that is!
Chris did you purchase or do you rent/ lease the 250 as needed? Assume machine!
That turned out to be a Huge hole.. would have been the makings of a deluxe swimming pool area
I was just saying to my husband I'm mesmerized, watching you fill in that huge hole. He agreed. So cool.
I HAVE BEEN FOLLOWING YOU FOR SOME TIME NOW. I ADMIRE YOUR WORK BUT I WONDER IF YOU CAN ACTUALLY FIGURE OUT THE COSTS FOR EACH JOB AND AND HOW LONG IT WILL TAKE?.THERE MUST BE OVER RUNS AND IS THERE A CONTINGENCY PLAN FOR THAT? PLEASE LET ME KNOW. THANKS. 😎😏
Wow yeah you got me I fast forwarded watch you fill a whole nice 👍
