Maybe mention to them they might want to install some protection around that hydrant now that people can easily hit it with a trailer/truck. We do ours with simple 4X4s painted bright yellow with reflectors on the corners.
Chris, Please tell Timmy to always back away from the tree when it starts to fall, and not walk by the base/stump as its falling. If there is no hinge that thing could shoot backwards and crush him. I know that you know all this stuff and your helping to train Tim, I just couldn't bare to see him get hurt. Beautiful job as always, and thanks for the video!!
I had the same thought. He walked right behind the stump as it was going down, and it could so easily have ended badly. If you watch chainsaw logging channels, they always get out of the way when the trees are falling. They might have done it for nothing 99 times out of a 100, but that 1% could kill you.
I cringed at that, his removal of his helmet & both Tim & Chris' lack of eye & hearing protection. I ran a saw for many years & still have some hearing loss, despite wearing hearing protection, though that might be down to too many rock concerts & too much pheasant shooting...
you two work really well together. You're reading his body language and he knows what to expect from you. That's pretty rare. It's a win-win. You have good people and they get to continue to live and keep all their digits. I would imagine losing a finger in a pipe joint wouldn't be that difficult. Cheers from Louisiana.
Chris is a great operator. So good on this video, he was running the mini like it was rented. Thought he had sped up the video. Wow! Awesome catch on the tree. I was thinking, if he can catch it. Bam! Done!
I have been watching your videos for a long time now and, man do do awesome work. I Like how you care about your reputation by cleaning really good, not many people understand that. It make your customers feel good and makes you feel good by doing the right thing.
As a fellow equipment operator been watching your work you are very good at what you do and learn alot of trick's of the trade from you keep up the good work!!
A trick I use to determine where a tree will reach to when it falls, is stand back quite aways get a stick or long twig hold it up to the tree, break it off so its the same length of the tree as seen from where you are, then keeping the bottom of the stick flush with the bottom of the tree tilt it over till it's horizontal to the ground. The top of the stick will tell you where the top of the tree will end up. Believe me it works.
Amazing dude. You guys get a lot done for small crew. Impressive! And then you do videos. You must sleep like a dead person when you finally stop. Great operating as always. Some day i should strap a camera to our jobs. Just never make it happen. We do quality work like you guys. Thats why i love watching.
It's funny you should say that about sleeping, because Tim always looks like he is half asleep lately. For such a young lad, he sure doesn't suffer from an energy overload.
All I can think is it won’t be long before the 7 figure home that now has a lovely 5 vehicle parking lot right next to it will soon have an 8 foot privacy fence going up. 😱
People dont see it but I loved the days I got to do Chris's job. Running is so much easier on your body then what Tim has to do. Standing on your feet all day, bending, cutting with the saw, in and out of ditches. It's a lot harder doing 10 hours on your feet following a machine.
mccrossins forestry what about the chainsaw personal , protection, equipment (P.P.E.) many Americans don’t seem to use it , especially the trousers (Pants) when using a chainsaw , could save loosing a leg . I often wonder how a hard hat would save you if a tree trunk fell on your head ? 🤔flat as a 🥞😆😆😆🇬🇧
Chris Snelling your right on the saw pants I seen a video where a guy purposely cut into a pair to show what would happen and as soon as the saw cut into them the fibers wound into the saw and killed it there's like 20 layers to save your legs
Hi Chris, just a question re soil type. you always seem to be on that red sand / clay. How far out in the county does that extend to, what does it change to?
Check out Justin's latest upload. He devotes fully half of it to how he keeps his saw sharp. Whoops, last but one upload. The lad has gone from hardly putting up anything, to a video everyday. Chris' followers should support Justin. I've been trying to persuade him to tell a few growing up with Chris type stories. ruclips.net/video/kuIo7Kil72s/видео.html
Oh Yes !! Killer Catch Chris... Yep, The Man with the Plan !!! lololol... That was pretty Slick catching that tree, yep , got bragging rights on that one for awhile lololol... Have a Great Evening Bro......
Chris, Please do us all a favor and when you have the Go-Pro in your hand explaining your job...SLOW IT DOWN!..Very important..Plus- the finished job......(almost puked)..lol Thanks..watch and like on a regular basis...your a good man..:)
@J/C Chris is actually a lot better than most YT presenters regarding hose-piping the camera. I think he does it all hand held without a gimbal, which is impressive. I suspect Chris would be sick of reading comparisons with Andrew Camarata, but it is fair to say that Andrew is a master at this stuff, and keeps up to date with the equipment he uses making for smooth photography. On the other hand, Mike (Dirt Perfect) uses lots of decent equipment to film his channel, but still makes a hash of it. facebook.com/dirtperfect/photos/a.317914602187853/372093056770007/?type=3&theater
Jason King Oh ok. Good deal. I picked up this used 450 Case. Ordered rails, pads, sprockets, axle seals, and everything to repack the cylinders. Going to start on it tomorrow! Looking forward to it. Haven’t been on a dozer much since I was a kid back on the farm.
Julian, they have all of the health and safety stuff the E.U. could ever want ;) Here in the U.S. we do have OSHA and also state level safety people mainly involved in major projects and occasional random checks. With small projects you're unlikely to ever see anyone. The people a building company needs to care about are the insurance company he hires to provide liability insurance and accident safety insurance, those people check your history for accidents and problems before they agree to cover you.
@@davidnull5590 Hey David , just having a laugh! But being an English guy living in S Germany the last ten years! The health and safety is none existent here,Toe tectors is all it seems!! Back home on the building industry Mandatory is Hi Vis,Hard Hat, Toe tectors Harness for roof work! which is damn nearly impossible creeping round a new roof! and when you not using 110 Volt transformed down from 240 you instant F,,,, off home ! With constant meetings and courses for heath and safety this and that, with regular spot checks from them that must be obeyed ;-)
A hard hat isn't going to do anything to stop a tree, but chaps will do wonders against the kickback of or tripping while running a chain saw vs bare legged shorts. Makes me cringe to think about it.
Great safety video! Using a chain saw in short pants and your safety glasses sitting up on the brim of your hat. Lol! Hope the state insurance guys don't follow u tube!🤫
Hi there, Question, The trucks you use seem to have many axles two of which are "Lazy axles " as we know them in New Zealand, In the many videos I have watched from your site I have never seen the trucks running on them regardless of the load they are carrying, are these fitted to meet DOT regulations??
More than likely the axles are down when they are transporting on the highways and we just don't see them? Not sure if they raise the "dead axles" when they get on the job to save wear and tear, or not. Then again, they just might not be loading them heavy enough to use the 3rd and 4th axles?
hope a big ol fire truck tanker does not come down there and back over that pipe ! when he gets a full load of water , he may crush it. I can almost see it , he drives to the lake and backs toward the cottage , fills up and clunk , there he sits

I would enjoy seeing a simultaneous shot of your hands working the controls! You are very precise!
Just say "Action!" to get a starting point for the finished video so it's much easier to synch the 2 or more views.
Nice catch with the tree , pure skillage :)
Life is always better at the Lake !!! Like to see part 2
Nice catch and great job.! You guys get a lot of work done . Love the camera angles !
didn't think i see you comment in letsdig18 channels
Way to go Chris great catch
The path of less destruction. I like that call Chris. Great job..
Chris...@ 8:53 YOU DA MAN! Who can catch a tree like that??? ROCK ON!
Wish I was cool with all the tools... what a garden I could make!!!
“Caught a tree in mid-air”. Had to watch that twice. Good job.....
I hate when people quote a phrase and don't write the timestamp
8:45 ish
Nus life’s a bitch 😆😆
10:00 I bet that house next to the boat launch is thrilled about the beer drinking spot/parking lot going in, lol
Sucks to be them. Shouldn't have bought a place near a common area like a road leading to a boat launch if they don't like people coming and going.
It's a rental house haha

Looking good Chris enjoyed watching thank you for sharing
Thanks for the video. It looks like a nice environment to work in....a day when it's fun to go to work.
Great video Chris thanks for sharing have a great day and stay safe out there
Nice to see those two working as one. No useless words, each one knowing what and when to do it. Cool team, guys.
Chris is a great operator. So good on this video, he was running the mini like it was rented. Thought he had sped up the video. Wow! Awesome catch on the tree. I was thinking, if he can catch it. Bam! Done!
Great job enjoyed that!!!! Will have to start calling you skills from now own great work!!!
New slogan for tee shirts “ Life is Better with a Yanmar mini !”
Great start to an interesting job!
Great job Chris . Thanks for the video 👍🇬🇧
That’s right call the path of less damage and very nice catch on the tree yup that’s skill 👍 10:58 2:45pm NY 😎🇺🇸

At 2:58 I thought you would have picked up Timmy's hardhat with the thumb and put it back on his head! LOL! Nice vid, Thanks, Chris!

I just figured it was because he's paid by the hour! 😊
Yes sir, Chris. You do have skills! Respect!
Looks like a cool spot to hang out by the lake now that there will be somewhere safe to park. Enjoyed the video bro
Thank you for putting the camera in front of you, I can see better now. Keep up the good work.
Looks like a nice new project Chris 👍😎👌
Good job catching the tree, Damm what a save!
Grate video Chris love the camera angle
Nice job cool project 👍
Hey Chris class job as always but would you ever think of putting a quick hitch on the 160 for jobs like that to save bringing 2 machines out on a job
Great work guys! Y’all have a good-un!
Nice straight pole logs too ! Would be great for my firewood processor !!!
All I can think is it won’t be long before the 7 figure home that now has a lovely 5 vehicle parking lot right next to it will soon have an 8 foot privacy fence going up. 😱
I would that's for sure !

That Chain saw work this time of year you just sweat down Thur your draws , it’s tough and saw dust sticking to your sweaty body go Tim
You should have picked up Tim's hardhat and put it on his head with the excavator
I would have paid to see that !
@@delcasaleexcavating9508 Chris is smooth on the controls he could do it. I have seen some amazing feats with large equipment
@@alfadoofus I agree with you Chris totally
Just would have been funny to see that !!!
@2:17 admiring your safety gear!!!
Fantastic catch 🎖🏆
Love your work
Impressive mid-air catch there!
Nice work as usual 😊
Nice catch! You were digging like that thing owed you child support 😂 Great job as always!
Elite Earthworks LLC “ like it owed you child support”, now thats funny 😂😂👍
D C 🤣 he was digging angry
Elite Earthworks LLC 😂😂
Give your dry 'trunk' and give it a good shake, you lose 80% of loose/dry dirt!
Nice catch you r the man got alot of work to do
You are the Man Chris!
Another job well done
And by the way Chris you really are the man with the plan!!!
You make running those machines look so easy. I cant wait until the excavating company I work for sticks me in an excavator
@letsdig18 do you run at full throttle on the excavator normally?
You been doing it for so long it's just second nature the way your able to control the trees when you lay them down
Unusual to see you digging in rocky soil, normally it's clay or sandy.
Swing it down and grab it at the same time......Lmao......PRICELESS
When you’re good, you’re good👍
NICE catch Chris 😎👍👍👍
First and good video keep up the good work
Awesome vid Chris!!
Nice catch!!!!!
You work fast!
Like the video guy's keep doing it .
with all the woods around they are gonna play hell keeping the debris out of 120 feet of pipe.

Very impressive grab ld18!
Call Logger Wade next time. LOL!!
Can't wait to see the finished project. Did you throw Tim in the lake after??? LOL Great video!!!!
wow!
What's the word on that giant 30' deep rotted drain pipe job?
you got your window fixed.

Some of the areas have weight restrictions, so they don't need the drag axles!
pretty cool
brilliant catch lol bet u cant do it again
Talk about turning a light switch on....just occurred to me that is what those little buckets are for
Can you please put the camera in the mini next time. It would be awesome to see that view.
hope a big ol fire truck tanker does not come down there and back over that pipe ! when he gets a full load of water , he may crush it. I can almost see it , he drives to the lake and backs toward the cottage , fills up and clunk , there he sits
Chris where is the lake u are working at
Nice!!!!
Come on let's see the finished product. Don't leave me hanging.
shorts? awesome hahaha had a guy offer me a job once, I said do I have to wear a tie, he said yes and I said im good right where im at hahaha
I love digging
You got a like and subscribe from me for that conifer catch!
Is this the same lake where you had to dig all that sediment out of last year?
