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.
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
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 !!
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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. 💪👍

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
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. 😁
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 😆😆😆
😂😂🦫🦫
why do I find pond jobs so fun to watch?
Love watching the ponds being redone .
Soon as I see a pond video from Chris, I stop everything im doing to watch lol
Letsdig18 is one of my more favorite channels always top hand content.

Helene is tracking further west atm .
Praying that you and your loved ones are safe from the storm!
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.
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 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.
Your patience is incredible.
Good catch with the leak. Another great project.

Toys playing in the mud is always great to watch bro. Safe travels. Ken.

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
This is the second pond video I've watched. Very interesting to watch and I noticed that you enjoy what you're doing.! Kudos. A fan in Texas
Beaver’s are a beast of an animal for sure .
I agree having that setup with the thumb and grading bucket is very efficient 👍😎🇺🇸 NY
I just love it when you put that grading bucket on.. 😎🤌🏼
you did a lot of work, thanks for sharing your long day with us..
Your video has motivated me to try new methods on my farm. Thanks for the inspiration
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.
Thanks let’s Dig have answered my prayers asked last week for this
Thanks for the video Chris Like it and your doing work as usuel .
Like old times. Familiar mud times. Will look great❤❤
Saweet!! Those tilt buckets are an awesome attachment! I won't one badly. Good job
Once again you improve the land you're on. It's looking good, Chris. Can't wait until the next video.
So enjoying this project. Ur experience shows through n each project. Interesting to watch and learn. God's blessings and be safe!
My favorite videos are the pond videos.🎉
First view once again. Watching your channel helped me greatly in the rebuild and expansion of my pond recently.
Pond going to look great.
Back to the good stuff. Chris playing in the mud with the 220.
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
Chris that is going to be Awesome no doubt. 👍👍
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.
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.
Nice foresight about the hurricane
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!

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 swear, a Beaver can pack 10lbs of shrimp in a 10oz can!
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.
I watched an old video of yours yesterday Chris where you transplanted your childhood tree, I hope the tree is doing well!
Good to see you on regular jobs. Great work ethics.
Your videos are THE BEST

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
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.
The bucket for the 350 has a unique ware pattern I’ve seen somewhere before🤔😂 Seems to work well on beaver issues 👍
I see the awe of your bucket has gone, That’s a big bucket Nelson mighty big bucket 😂
good work
👍 Good luck with the upcoming hurricane remnants, Mean Helene, she's a doozy!
It's always amusing to watch you fold trees Chris.

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
For a minute I thought you were going to make the beavers really happy
Just like the old days, Chris huh Beaverdam’s and you
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
good pond video
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.
The beaver is back...thank God! 😉😉
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.
Good work with that oversized painful pine🌲
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 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..
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?
🎶 Splish Splash, I was Takin' A Bath, Long about a Saturday night, 🎶
Good job mate should look good once you have finished I’m sure it will though keep up the good work
Do not back into the pond. :) This going to be one neat transformation. Thank you and have a good week.
Now that brush attachment would be great to have
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. 💪👍
Hope you get that done before this hurricane gets there.
Awesome operator
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!
There's a hint of sadness in Chris's voice about working far from home.
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.

Sure hope those fish heeded your gentle warning. LOL
Good morning my friend love your vidsr❤😊👋👏💐🌟
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
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'll take 30 tons if you can deliver to the UK. 😁
Let the PARTY BEGIN!🥳🎉
It’s great to see some pond dredging. I wonder if John’s 250 long reach would have helped?
I am ready to play in the mud too.
Looks like there's halfbacks planted everywhere around there 😮
Beavers are back in my county too. 😃
Man Chris” you ae definitely elbow deep😊
Them beavers don't know who they are messin' with!!
When you were messing with the big pine, my mother used to say that there’s more than 1 way to kill a cat than chocking it to death with butter.
Chris out there showing the beavers who the dominate species is.
Who takes care of WINSTON when you are gone?
His wife??
The beavers have a bigger excavator than you it seems. Lol
That 350 is a regular push over!😂😜
I have a picture in my mind of all the beautiful furniture my husband could have made from the that big white pine tree. So sad. 🙁
Sign up the Beavers as sub-contractors on dam builds, they would do a night shift for free.
It was just a very industrious beavers
