Chris without machines lol ,bet he gets a cake with diggers and bulldozer toys on it 😃 Reckon he made roads in his mashed potatoes at the dinning table when he was young ?
@@thatdave86 I would guess you're right at that and digging Ponds in dad's veggie patch. How about building dams too with roads over them. I wonder how many times he felt his dad's belt across his rump, not many watching him sitting on it so much. Dave Allen was a great comedian over here and he was good at picking out others faults, looks like you're trying to take his place. Try another profession you might do better at it. HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHRIS.
@@chadshidler8903 yes and it is nice to see it up on youtube because my wife, mother in law and myself work so many hours its not easy to get out to the land regularly. So we can sit back and enjoy the progress until we can!
@@medicmike1984 You are so very lucky to get the best there is to do your work. You can just sit and relax and watch the professional do his stuff and know your going to get more than your money's worth again enjoy and watch your dreams come true 👍
By keeping his machines clean and not loaded with dirt and mud you actually extend the life of the machine by it not rusting. In between jobs you must do a power wash video. Especially on the under sides of the machine where alot of mud n dirt collects.
Happy birthday Chris. I’ve only had 4 different jobs in my lifetime. Out of those farming and operating a bulldozer were my favorites. I had 2 public jobs and enjoyed what I did but I didn’t really like dealing with people that much. I enjoyed driving big tractors doing field work and clearing forested lots for a local paper mill with my bulldozer and cutting blade when I worked for my grandpa.
Pre ‘Rona, I traveled for work about 85% of the time. I flew over 100,000 a year for 24 years. Over the years it became less and less enjoyable as the airlines and everyone else raced to the bottom of service in an effort to extract that last penny of profit. Now that I’ve spent almost three years at home working remotely, and doing only a few trips, I’m not sure I’d be willing to go back to it even if the health concerns all went away. It’s just not enjoyable anymore. Even as a very, very frequent flyer with millions of miles status and lifetime recognition levels, the airlines don’t seem to care, or don’t really have the ability to care. I can see the frustration in the eyes of the older employees who are battling a system that limits their ability to serve and help. Throw in the youngsters who seem to just not give a flying f*&k, and I’ll just stay at home. Not how I planned or wanted to go out though. I really feel for the kids of today. They are going to have a real hard next decade. At least. Which is sad, there’s so much potential.
It's always more fun to watch somebody else's work I think that's why we get addicted. And then we get up in the morning and have to go do our jobs. I decided I'm not going into work anymore and retired at age 60.
happy birthday! watching you push with the dozer makes me nervous, every time one of those trees falls over the top of that blade I expect to see hydraulic fluid spray up from the tilt cylinder hoses! been there, done that.
10 acres in a subdivision?! I'd bet it'll turn into a swampy mess when it rains and it's about the rainy season in NC. All those scrubby trees will make for a good fire in a few weeks HAPPY BIRTHDAY Chris!!! 🥳🎉🎂
Happy Birthday, Chris!! Thanks for the update on old Betty. I hope that she gets fixed soon so that you can start making money with her. This does sound like a nice project; can't wait to see it when it's done.
I always thought I would like to clear land with a dozer. Then I watched this. You can’t see nearly as much as with the excavator. At least with it you can get the debris out of your way so you can see what you are doing. That was a close one with that log.
Happy birthday Chris! Your first words about this job made me smile. Mother daughter house lots and future Horse pasture. Now you know what that means so bare it in mind. Your coming back for a riding ring and paddock. Then a pole barn which in a year she will want enclosed. Almost forgot a pond. I see a span of 5-6 years before they are done using your services at this address that is.
Happy birthday my friend. I wish you many more. Always enjoy watching your vids. It's been a long ride, and I'm looking forward to many more years of your videos.
Happy birthday Chris! I hope you had a blessed and happy day. Thank you for sharing your day with us TH-camrs! Love your work! Loved the Bey Good pond build but it’s really nice to see you with new scenery!
A belated happy birthday to you, Chris, and many, many more. Thank you for all enjoyment you provided over the years, and as a retired Cat skinner I say God bless, my friend.
Hau'oli la hanau Chris. Great way to spend your birthday. You had me thinking of an Old Timer Machine Operator that I enjoyed talking with. I asked him, "whats the most dangerous job while operating machinery?" He replied, "clearing land with a dozer." He told me of the day his partner left him nearing the end of the day. He decided to make a couple more passes before coming in. On that pass he climbed an old, dead, tree stump that was covered in grass. He nearly lost the dozer on its side and decided from that moment, to stop when his partner leaves for the day. Those tree trunks coming up the side and over the blade enlightened me. Stay Safe. The excavator cleans it a lot nicer. Especially with an operator like you. Hau'oli la hanau, (Happy Birthday).
Hi Chris Mark and baby Logan here it's great to see you on a new job and have a fantastic day out today for your Birthday Chris keep up the great work and videos
Your approach is very different than what we did when we were clearing land as homesteaders. We would have had much more protection ( a cage) around the Cat to keep sticks and trees from hitting us or the ‘workings’ of the machine. We used belly pans” to keep the trees out from below and “walked down” the trees on our initial pass and did not try to deals with any dirt in that pass, we then came back and piled trees, roots and formed windows up to1/2 mile long for burning. We cleared about a half section each summer for the first 3-4 years. After burning we would use 2 ,or later 3 or 4 bottom, breaking plows ( each bottom cut 24 inches). We then root raked with 6 wheel rakes (24 feet wide) d then doubled those windows from each side to make 72 foot wide windows for repiling n burning.
Happy birthday and pray u have many more. So enjoy ur videos. The D6 still amazing piece of equipment! Luv watching it plow down thick masses. Glad Betty being restored. Our heritage is important. God's blessings and be careful.
Happy birthday Chris hope you have a good day, another 5 ⭐ video, appreciate the update on Betty hope to see her back to work, your D6D reminds me of the ole D6c I use to operate back in my logging and forestry work pushing top's and cleaning lots gotta love progress. Anywhoo God bless yah from Gaffney South Carolina viewer 🙏❤️💯
Chris, LOVE your content. All of it. To me, the difference between watching the excavator and the bulldozer work is akin to the difference between smart bombs of late and dumb bombs of WWII era. You’re a master!
Hi Chris Dawns here 🌞I see it is your Birthday 🎶🎵🎶🧚♀️☘️30 year Class A Driver! Now this is why I love the men and Machines, such passion. I feel that passion still!
Happy birthday old timer! Listening the exhaust on that six is better than any music you could play. And those pine saplings don't stand a chance against that old iron. That six footage is some of the best parts of your videos.
Hoggy dog heaven, we get to see the 6 kitty run, just made this series oh so much more fun to watch, It just made my day. Thanks for the ride along sir.
My dad had a Cat D6 and loved operating it. He had a tree pushed made for his. It would push so trees that's for sure. Lol. It helped keep the stuff from rolling over the blade too.
I agree that clearing is more interesting than digging dirt. I can watch you crunch trees and call Timber for hours. Scooping shovel after shovel of dirt not so much.
Have the happiest of birthdays Chris! It's been so much fun seeing you operating. I wish you lots and lots more years to come! And hope you don't get tired of making videos.
Just like to thank you for all the behind the scenes work you do. Condensing 8 to 12 hours of work down to a 50 minute video is time consuming, even if you only recorded 2 to 4 hours of it. Thanks and Happy Birthday!
Hey Chris! Happy Birthday to you!! My very first time commenting on your channel an I've been a fan for 2 plus years. Thank you for All that you do and show, I've learned a thing or two from this. Great job done today an have a great weekend as well!
Chris, it brought a tear to my eye watching that D-6 push. Have you thought of installing a brush guard on top of the blade. For this kind of work it would sure help in keeping those trees from coming over the blade, away from the lift cylinders and the radiator etc. For an older tractor it does very well. You got a good one.
Happy Birthday Chris, I HOPE YOU HAVE A GOOD ONE! I am picky when it comes to taking care of my stuff, so I have ton's of respect for anyone else that does the same. Peace Smitty
Thanks for the update on Betty I was one of the people asking about her. I've been watching steady since I saw you I believe at a golf course walking path removing landscape timbers and pulling the spikes out with the mini excavator bucket and thumb that impressed me ,"what an operator"👍👍
5300hrs??😮 I’ve seen machines with 53hrs looking in worse shape. With the sort of work she does in tight awkward spaces it’s a credit to you and how careful you are with her. Out of interest how many hrs did she have when you got her?
HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY Chris, hope your family helped you celebrate it WITHOUT machinery too?!
Chris without machines lol ,bet he gets a cake with diggers and bulldozer toys on it 😃
Reckon he made roads in his mashed potatoes at the dinning table when he was young ?
The table in the room usually adjacent to the kitchen is commonly used for "DINING" (eating).
NOT for "DINNING" (learning by constant repetition).
😁
@Francis Delaney :
How could that possibly happen?!?!
The machinery looks different in the kitchen, but it's still machinery.
😁😁😁😁
So we'll all say Happy Birthday Chris here 🎊🎊🎉🎉🥳🥳🍰🍰🎂

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHRIS.
Happy Birthday, Chris!! Think we are getting the gift of another clearing video!!🎂
Putting those roll bars on the D6 to good use!
Can not wait to see how our property turns out through this process! It was great meeting you on Sunday and we hope to run into you out at the land .
Nice to hear from one of Chris; customers, keep us updated on how you feel about his work.
You got one of the best guys to do your work for you. Very professional at what he does.

Agreed!
I think Chris is in the “proper preparation prevents piss poor performance” club. He knows.
By keeping his machines clean and not loaded with dirt and mud you actually extend the life of the machine by it not rusting. In between jobs you must do a power wash video. Especially on the under sides of the machine where alot of mud n dirt collects.

@@cliffferguson9024 And that’s no lie.
Dealing with the public these days just sucks period. Did it for 40 years and it turned me antisocial.

You need a tree pusher on the D6 blade, helps keep brush from coming over the blade and makes the big trees easier to take down
OH boy! Sounds like another sizable project. Why am I so addicted?!?!?!
Thx for bringing us along Chris, so very much appreciated!
It's always more fun to watch somebody else's work I think that's why we get addicted. And then we get up in the morning and have to go do our jobs. I decided I'm not going into work anymore and retired at age 60.
Can definitely tell it was clear cut previously. Drone footage show a defined edge around the property.
happy birthday! watching you push with the dozer makes me nervous, every time one of those trees falls over the top of that blade I expect to see hydraulic fluid spray up from the tilt cylinder hoses! been there, done that.
Happy Birthday Mr. Chris,
I'd love to have a lot like that to build a house on it and maybe a pond on it.
10 acres in a subdivision?! I'd bet it'll turn into a swampy mess when it rains and it's about the rainy season in NC. All those scrubby trees will make for a good fire in a few weeks
HAPPY BIRTHDAY Chris!!! 🥳🎉🎂
At least it has good ditches running thru it. It may drain well. We'll see, if it rains.
Happy Birthday, Chris!! Thanks for the update on old Betty. I hope that she gets fixed soon so that you can start making money with her. This does sound like a nice project; can't wait to see it when it's done.
SCAMMER ALERT! The telegram account is a scammer trying to steal your money! Do not contact them!
Just like the Cat, Chris is a little older but stills knows how to work. Great video 👍 👍 Happy Birthday
Happy Birthday Chris. Thanks for sharing your play time with us.
What is the over/under on balloons for this project?
HAPPY BIRTHDAY Chris !!! 🥂 Cheers & Many Happy Returns. Love watching your work, a great work ethic, lots to learn from you and motivating. Thank you.
The man celebrates his birthday playing with a dozer. Now THAT'S a heavy equipment nerd. Gratz on another year Chris!!
Definitely two different types of clearing! I guess each one has there pros & cons?!?
Happy Birthday Chris... Nice to see the Big Kitty do what the Big Kitty Do. Purring through the brush. Go Cat Go!.
Happy Birthday Chis, nice to see you back in the trees!
Happy Birthday Chris. Have fun on your new project. Love you videos learning alot. Thanks
Happy Birthday Chris. I turn 70 tomorrow. Love watching your peojects take shape. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for great videos! Can't stop watching. People that move dirt are the best.
Happy Birthday young man, been watching you since the beaver dam removal. Keep the great videos coming!
Happy Belated Birthday, Chris! Glad you were able to have some birthday fun with the D-6!

Happy birthday!!! Looks like you’ve given yourself the best gift - getting on your machines and moving trees and dirt!!!
Great video. That old D6 sure seems like a real blast. Thanks for checking in on Betty for us. ✌️😄

Chris, Happy Birthday Bro, nothing quite like feeling the power of a Big Kitty Cat for pushing stuff outta the way !
👍
Happy Birthday! You've brought me hours of relaxation and wonder in how u see and make things happen.
Happy Birthday Chris!!!! I hope you had a nice day, and spent some time with family and friends.
Happy birthday a day late! 🎂 I hope you had as much fun as it looked like you were having. This looks like a fun project.
Happy birthday Chris have a great day having fun on your first day of clearing
A belated happy birthday to you, Chris, and many, many more. Thank you for all enjoyment you provided over the years, and as a retired Cat skinner I say God bless, my friend.
Many Happy Returns Of This Day Chris. 🎂 You sure had fun with the big toys today. Great progress for one day. Be well. 😉
HAPPY BIRTHDAY Chris, I'd love the chance to play on a big bulldozer on my birthday, it looks like a heck of a lot of fun..
Happy Birthday Chris! Thanks for another great video and yes the 'ol D6 is my favorite too!!
These clearing videos always remind me of AVATAR when the large machines are on Pandora.
Happy birthday to you! Hope you have a great day and weekend to follow. Watching you never gets old.
Thanks for the update on Betty. She does have quite a loyal fan base, as I’m sure you realize.

My dad had a Cat D6 and loved operating it. He had a tree pushed made for his. It would push so trees that's for sure. Lol. It helped keep the stuff from rolling over the blade too.
@30:23 And here we see a close call demonstrating why he stopped and cleared that log over the blade. More debris could've made that catastrophic.
Happy Birthday Chris!! You deserve a great party with great food and lots of gifts. Hope you enjoy your day.
Happy Birthday. Luv watching those old CATS. No sound better than an old CAT! I started on an old 966 rubber tire loader.
No cab, just a roof.
Happy Birthday Chris. Thanks for making all these videos. Appreciate it a lot.

More burn piles to come 🔥
Happy birthday Chris. I know you were having fun pushing trees instead of pushing dirt with the D6. Stay safe out there.
Thanks so much for the update on Betty! For some reason, I really like her and want to see her running.
It will be nice to see ole betty back up and going in tip top opperating condition. Nice to see the older pieces cared for and running.

Thanks for the update on Betty I was one of the people asking about her. I've been watching steady since I saw you I believe at a golf course walking path removing landscape timbers and pulling the spikes out with the mini excavator bucket and thumb that impressed me ,"what an operator"👍👍
5300hrs??😮 I’ve seen machines with 53hrs looking in worse shape. With the sort of work she does in tight awkward spaces it’s a credit to you and how careful you are with her.
Out of interest how many hrs did she have when you got her?
I love coming in at the day’s end to see what you have done. And by the way Happy Birthday.
Same for me.
Happy birthday Chris! Were you able to finish Geoff’s pond in the time you had planned or did it take longer than expected?
