Hello Chris, great to see you back at this project and all the challenges you face in fixing up this dam project. Wishing you and your family all the best with the hurricane. Thanks Stephen
Chris dredging a pond along with clearing the dams and taking out a Beaver damn. What could be more entertaining than that ? That mud will be perfect for the property owner to spread in his yard over any spots that grass isn't growing in. Or any area he's using as pasture or to grow hay.
Prep, prep, and more prep, is the name of the game, ya know it !! Tell ya what Chris, that Big Smooth Bucket has really been your go too, ever since ya got it !! I believe that is really one of your main tools , when it comes to working on the pond jobs. It can get 2-3 different things done at one time , and really keeps ya moving on a lot faster on the job, and not have to come back to it !! Well, off to a great start, will really start to shape up pretty quick , i'm guessing !! Always does...lolol... Great as Always !! Have a Great Evening, And, On too the Next !! Yeah Man, that hurricane is getting Bigger all the time as we speak !! Looking like the "Low" is going to settle right over us here in Western Ky. in the next day or so !! looking like we are going to get 4-5 in. of rain out of this one, may be more ?? hard to tell just yet but, it is coming for a lot of us !!
Thanks for the update, that big pine did not really want to cooperate with you. You made good progress on the day and looks like you moved a lot of material as well. Already looks better, enjoyed watching.
I miss watching you dredge ponds. A few jobs was real sketchy when you helped John. Sometimes living on the edge with a good challenge makes the job that much better. Although after a while the stress accedes the thrill.
@@spamlessaccount I been watching since he ran the long reach on backhoe (iso) controls. I laughed my ass off on that video, I completely understood the aggravation
Busy beavers, you just opened that last week. Hope you and Geoff don`t get hit too bad from Hurricane Helena. Landfall tomorrow evening will be about 50 miles west of my location. The Pond Master working again to make a silk purse from a sow`s ear. How many hundreds of cubic yards of 'top soil' have you created clearing and dredging? Digging this mud is not soupy mud like the job with Uncle Jon. Don`t forget a drone video.
Major hurricane coming up aimed at the Florida panhandle. You can see winds from 28 to 60 mph. And rain from 2 to 12 inches depending how it acts going through us. It has it reaching you Thursday night to Friday morning. Good luck and stay safe.
It's always amusing to watch you fold trees Chris. Haven't seen you in a dredging video for a long time now, not since you did that one in amongst the houses with the long neck(?). Looking forward to a sticky mucky video soon. I thought you said you had no mats. You taking those logs with you?
When you mentioned the water coming out by that row of houses up at the head section made me think of the time you got into the septic line at the storage unit project. It wouldn't be beneath some contractors to take advantage of an old swamp and run their leach field into it.
That's an even more accurate job description when doing custom work. Pulling the head with combine only works well when there's a good spot to hook back up.
I was watching video of the pipeline fire in Houston and found the mother lode of mats (look at Google Maps 29.664377, -95.102045) - instantly thought of LD18.
The people criticizing his machine must not have watched his video where he explains the machine has over 12,000 hours out in the woods. Thats respectable if you ask me.
Maybe Black Gumbo like in the Dallas area. And south - great for Cotton and planting. It can stick like glue. Dry hard. Crazy stuff to build a house on - pier and beam and rock and roll.
Once all that silt & organic matter's dried & decomposed there'll be a small mountain of topsoil to cover any bare patches & borrow pits. I'll take 30 tons if you can deliver to the UK. 😁
You work on the 9 Acre Pond. Open the Beaver Lake, that the Water can run down. Clear the Areal from the pull out Trees, how Your make a great Burn Heap. Interesting Video. How You the Beaver Lake Draining. Thanks, gladden my of the Continuation this Works. 💪👍
☘️🇮🇪🇺🇸 diligence sharp eyes & daily walk around finds those wee issues others wouldn’t..this is the mark of the best⚡️ me thinks the beavers are now drawing lines LMAO “ Alice hold my tea I’ll show that whipper snapper who’s pond- oh wait is that a dinosaur?? Did you call your Uncle’s brothers father?? Alice we’re moving…” blessing Chris beavers can be territorial
Can you imagine what it would be like if the original settlers of that area could be here now and witness those machines doing jobs that took them weeks and months of back breaking work to do, doing it in a few hours.
Chris you should let him have a go in the 350 because he won’t to have a go to see what it’s like and if he likes it so he can buy one for a upgrade for his John deer excavator
Nice to have an owner with their own equipment that you can coordinate with and get stuff done. He seems to do the time consuming things and have you do the part of the job that you are going to responsible for warrenty.
That was a ti ti ti tim tim tim ber finally. I thought It was going to slap back at the 330. How big is that beaver dam. Do you relocate the beaver or is it Sayonara??? Great job forming the head section. Thanks Chris good video.
Hay Chris I think you may need to get in touch with you're working Bud (dirt perfect ) he did some swimming fully dress work boots An all not sure he knows how to be properly dress for swimming Or maybe you haven't told him He made video that he wasn't going talk about it ect ect Then he was whinning about not getting any rain Ground was so dry he buliding one pond draining another type I told him you got more than you really Wanted but you couldn't share you're rain water So guess you need give him a pep Talk an explaining rite way to swim
Keep messing with those beavers and they are gonna have a wanted poster with you on it at Buccees
😂😂😂
Ah, bucees, where you can stop for gas and take a leak with 30,000 of your closest friends.
Lol
Lol 😆😆😆
😂😂🦫🦫
Love watching the ponds being redone .
Hello Chris, great to see you back at this project and all the challenges you face in fixing up this dam project. Wishing you and your family all the best with the hurricane. Thanks Stephen
Helene is tracking further west atm .
I agree having that setup with the thumb and grading bucket is very efficient 👍😎🇺🇸 NY
YES a pond job and playing in the MUD! Hopefully a BIG FIRE included!
Looking forward to another bonfire 🔥. Can never have too many bonfires. 🔥
I just love it when you put that grading bucket on.. 😎🤌🏼
Praying that you and your loved ones are safe from the storm!
Letsdig18 is one of my more favorite channels always top hand content.
why do I find pond jobs so fun to watch?
I hear Tannerite, does a fine job clearing beavers dams and makes for a good watch
Yeah it does relocate them fast
Not around housing when the pieces fall back to earth
Problem is there’s a suburb across the pond
Beavers went outta style in the 90’s…
@@crandonborth Yeah... but they're now making a comeback. Fashion is cyclical, you know.
Saweet!! Those tilt buckets are an awesome attachment! I won't one badly. Good job
Toys playing in the mud is always great to watch bro. Safe travels. Ken.
So enjoying this project. Ur experience shows through n each project. Interesting to watch and learn. God's blessings and be safe!

I am always amazed at how easy you make this look!
when you damaged the beaver dam the first time, i was thinking to my self they would have that fixed in 24 hours. they are quick builders.
Soon as I see a pond video from Chris, I stop everything im doing to watch lol
Your video has motivated me to try new methods on my farm. Thanks for the inspiration

Cut my LD18 teeth on a dredging video. 3 years ago!
@@spamlessaccount I been watching since he ran the long reach on backhoe (iso) controls. I laughed my ass off on that video, I completely understood the aggravation
you did a lot of work, thanks for sharing your long day with us..
Chris you’re good on the sticks.
Max every bucket and make it look easy.
Can’t wait to see the next video.
Hope you brought the drone
Good catch with the leak. Another great project.

Beaver’s are a beast of an animal for sure .
Back to the good stuff. Chris playing in the mud with the 220.
Your patience is incredible.
Like old times. Familiar mud times. Will look great❤❤
Once again you improve the land you're on. It's looking good, Chris. Can't wait until the next video.
First view once again. Watching your channel helped me greatly in the rebuild and expansion of my pond recently.
Thanks for the video Chris Like it and your doing work as usuel .
🎶 Splish Splash, I was Takin' A Bath, Long about a Saturday night, 🎶
I watched an old video of yours yesterday Chris where you transplanted your childhood tree, I hope the tree is doing well!
Major hurricane coming up aimed at the Florida panhandle. You can see winds from 28 to 60 mph. And rain from 2 to 12 inches depending how it acts going through us. It has it reaching you Thursday night to Friday morning. Good luck and stay safe.
Thanks let’s Dig have answered my prayers asked last week for this
I swear, a Beaver can pack 10lbs of shrimp in a 10oz can!
It's always amusing to watch you fold trees Chris.
Haven't seen you in a dredging video for a long time now, not since you did that one in amongst the houses with the long neck(?). Looking forward to a sticky mucky video soon. I thought you said you had no mats. You taking those logs with you?
The bucket for the 350 has a unique ware pattern I’ve seen somewhere before🤔😂 Seems to work well on beaver issues 👍
If houses weren’t so close by I’d say that would be a good spot to have the local scout troop over and teach rifle sills. Beavers done.
Nice foresight about the hurricane
👍 Good luck with the upcoming hurricane remnants, Mean Helene, she's a doozy!
My favorite videos are the pond videos.🎉
Chris that is going to be Awesome no doubt. 👍👍
Pond going to look great.

been quite some time, since we saw mats being used :)
I was watching video of the pipeline fire in Houston and found the mother lode of mats (look at Google Maps 29.664377, -95.102045) - instantly thought of LD18.
just bought one of your long sleeve shirts trying to help support ya love watching you work and learning some stuff for me on my excavtor as well
Well never seen a tree lean that far and not fall till today one big pine tree and stubborn but you will have that from time to time 😎🇺🇸 NY
I was just watching one of your videos from 3 years ago.
Ever seen the one where he rescued an excavator buried up to its cab in a mud pit? I think that’s the first one of his I ever watched
@@steveschritz1823 Same for me, That was a good one.
@@johnm840 Same here!
Watching other people use excavators, Chris is like watching an expert. There is a skill to this. Others just don’t have the same skill level.
Good to see you on regular jobs. Great work ethics.
Your videos are THE BEST
The people criticizing his machine must not have watched his video where he explains the machine has over 12,000 hours out in the woods. Thats respectable if you ask me.
Stuple are Pepid.
@@kenlee5509Universal translator says WTF???
People are stupid @@jjMcCartan9686
12k hrs its proved itself, no need to pacify the keyboard idiots that dont own one or likely has 12hrs in the woods or excavator
My old Cat 311C has 15k hours on it. Its all how you maintain them
I see the awe of your bucket has gone, That’s a big bucket Nelson mighty big bucket 😂
45:54 I was just about to ask if you had an extra thumb circuit after seeing you using the thumb with the grading bucket. Nice feature!
Just like the old days, Chris huh Beaverdam’s and you
Maybe Black Gumbo like in the Dallas area. And south - great for Cotton and planting. It can stick like glue. Dry hard. Crazy stuff to build a house on - pier and beam and rock and roll.

Robotec needs to advertise "death by a thousand cuts".
I haven’t used it in over a year, it could use a tune up lol

good work
Good job mate should look good once you have finished I’m sure it will though keep up the good work
Good work with that oversized painful pine🌲
good pond video
The first video of yours i ever watched was of you in a swamp on some mats clearing a beaver dam.
with simple man lynyrd skynyrd blasting..

Good morning my friend love your vidsr❤😊👋👏💐🌟
111 good morning everyone I hope you all enjoy your day we have a cold day here in Tasmania ❤❤❤❤❤😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Yes, but you have the loveliest women around to keep your fire stoked!
1am here in ireland & funny enough were getting our first rain in 2 weeks .Autumn has arrived. 😊
We have a fine day but cold weather in spring 😂😂😂😂😂
Nice video Chris.
Sure hope those fish heeded your gentle warning. LOL
Do not back into the pond. :) This going to be one neat transformation. Thank you and have a good week.
Hope you get that done before this hurricane gets there.
Now that brush attachment would be great to have
It’s great to see some pond dredging. I wonder if John’s 250 long reach would have helped?
Can you imagine what it would be like if the original settlers of that area could be here now and witness those machines doing jobs that took them weeks and months of back breaking work to do, doing it in a few hours.
The beaver is back...thank God! 😉😉
Think he needs a couple rollers and new chains, or atleast a few links by the looks of it.
Nah it’s a 14,000 hour farm machine lol
Awesome operator
For a minute I thought you were going to make the beavers really happy
Chris you should let him have a go in the 350 because he won’t to have a go to see what it’s like and if he likes it so he can buy one for a upgrade for his John deer excavator
I am betting on Chris for the win. But I am sure those beavers will not stop trying to plug the hole up.
Not once he fills in that area with the core of the damn then grades it as the new overflow area.
It'll be buy buy Beavers forever.
Let the PARTY BEGIN!🥳🎉
Nice to have an owner with their own equipment that you can coordinate with and get stuff done. He seems to do the time consuming things and have you do the part of the job that you are going to responsible for warrenty.
Also are you going to let the owner light off the fire?
I am ready to play in the mud too.
Who takes care of WINSTON when you are gone?
His wife??
Beavers are back in my county too. 😃
Man Chris” you ae definitely elbow deep😊
Looks like there's halfbacks planted everywhere around there 😮
He has more than saw problems, he needs new chains and tracks as seized up as they are. i'm glad you don't let your equipment get like that.
Guess the bevers think of as home wrecker can see your face an logo letsdig 18 on posters an milk cartons may even be a bounty on you to chris
There's a hint of sadness in Chris's voice about working far from home.
That was a ti ti ti tim tim tim ber finally. I thought It was going to slap back at the 330.
How big is that beaver dam. Do you relocate the beaver or is it Sayonara??? Great job forming the head section. Thanks Chris good video.
It was just a very industrious beavers
That 350 is a regular push over!😂😜
Hay Chris I think you may need to get in touch with you're working
Bud (dirt perfect ) he did some swimming fully dress work boots
An all not sure he knows how to be properly dress for swimming
Or maybe you haven't told him
He made video that he wasn't going talk about it ect ect
Then he was whinning about not getting any rain
Ground was so dry he buliding one pond draining another type
I told him you got more than you really
Wanted but you couldn't share you're rain water
So guess you need give him a pep
Talk an explaining rite way to swim
I think you need to get a dictionary to be honest. 😂
Them beavers don't know who they are messin' with!!
The beavers have a bigger excavator than you it seems. Lol
