I found your channel a few weeks ago and have been watching. I try to go in order, but you have been doing this a long time. I really enjoy watching you make "music" with all the machines. My grandson enjoys watching with me too.
Greetings, Your channel is my absolute favorite channel that I have been following for many years, I look forward to your daily adventures, I am a semi-retired Electro-Mechanical machine technician.
I love how you use the 250 like a teacher pointing to stuff on the chalkboard. 😂 "Here we have some of this, and over here we have that. . ." My son said "Man! That 250 makes easy work of it." I told him "No Chris makes easy work of it, but I'm sure the 250 helps a little."
I dont mean to be off topic but does any of you know a method to log back into an instagram account? I was stupid lost my password. I appreciate any tips you can offer me!
@Ismael Alijah I really appreciate your reply. I got to the site through google and Im waiting for the hacking stuff now. Takes a while so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
When I was a kid growing up my mother and I lived in NYC and my absolute favorite thing to do was to peer into the cracks in fences surrounding major excavation sites and watch for as long as my mother had the patience to wait for me for :)
@Colin Hottensmith I bet that was a lot of fun especially during the summer when school was out, if I lived there I'd would have done the same thing, but I was raised in a very small town in SC, we did have a blinking light at at the crossroad in town, yipee!...
Was excited to see you play with the big toys. The company I work for just picked up a brand new CAT 325 excavator and I am just a kid in a candy shop every time I get to operate it.
Chris you run your machinery so efficiently that if you take a sip of coffee or blink an eye it's all over, you missed it! well just exaggerating a little bit but it is a lot of fun to watch you at work, I hope your helpers are as sufficient as you are, great job...
Hey Chris just a quick note Tim needs a plastic wedge to put in between prevent the saw from getting the blade pinched, also it seems like your sthil could stand to get the air cleaner cleaned don't use gas it don't work buy some naptha and that is the best cleaning solvent once you clean it blow it out with air...
Same here Steve ! I’m sat indoors fed up dot come wish I was driving a machine right now , any machine will do mate , but until then thanks Chris I also enjoy watching your videos keep em coming mate plzzzz
I'm 44 and operating a machine like this one has always been my lifetime dream - I've ended up making fake teeth instead :( . What a beauty this one is !!!
Your videos are always fun to watch. You're a surgeon with that thing. Random thought: This halloween you should go as an excavator; the boom/stick/bucket comes out of the center of your chest and you have a set of hand controls to actuate the Boom/Stick/Bucket. Some young'un could set that up for you with servos and switches...
Does it bother you that there is a little bit of slop in the stick and bucket already? It appeared to be like that from the beginning if i remember right.
I've watched many of your videos, learned a lot...thanks for that. Question: Why are there no critters ever seen? Snakes, possums, raccoons, etc.? Does the noise scare them all away?
All those big trees u take down could start Alaskan milling some of them into big ole beams for ur Matts y’all use for dredging jobs, they can’t be cheap to buy them Matts??
All i got to say is.. Your slick as a gut on that machine, and you don't drop stuff in your trucks like other people.. I know its yr trucks ? Can you believe the power Hydraulics has, i love to watch you smash and bight those trees, they don't have a chance.. I rang The Bell, See Ya Texas
Where I live in rural France work can start early (especially in the summer) but noisy machinery doesn’t start until 8.am. I don’t know if that’s the law or an unwritten law/custom.
Well I can't say I played with a big boy toy but I want no Tonka toy today I had fun turn up concrete with a mini X obviously smaller than what do you operate

The power of the 250, and your skill is well worth watching any day of the week, Thanks

Loving watching the power of the 250. Certainly makes it so much quicker. And that crunch!! Fantastic. Cornwall uk.
Great video Chris. The 250 makes short work of most trees. Thank you.

I love watching that grapple bucket clean up all the under brush and knocking down trees with such ease, its very satisfying to watch

Awesome 250 giving you good pay back. Excellent work Chris.
It is just amazing the precision and "dexterity" you have with that machine. That just can't be taught, it is years of experience at play.
It really doesn’t take years. It’s not that hard. I got really good on an excavator after about 2 months
Never gets old watching an experienced professional smooth operator! 👍

@Ismael Alijah It did the trick and I actually got access to my account again. Im so happy!
Thank you so much, you really help me out :D
@Frederick Trenton You are welcome =)
I like watching the 250 work, it has so much power

Still do and my mum died years ago.

Clearing with 250 excavator, very nice again Chris 👍👌⚠️
Hi this is Steve from the UK since the lockdown I've watched all of your films twice and enjoyed every one keep them coming Cheers
Same here Steve !
I’m sat indoors fed up dot come wish I was driving a machine right now , any machine will do mate , but until then thanks Chris I also enjoy watching your videos keep em coming mate plzzzz
I think I saw a few trees shaking... "Not the two-fiddy!"
When i need to search for a how to in the excavation world you always have exactly what I’m looking for🤟
Man, the 250 is a monster!
Love watching the 250. She's a beast.
hey Chris nice work ..good to see you in some dry dirt finally!!
Looks a lot like the Olympia, WA area. Whoever is building there is going to have a nice spot!
Could you talk about how you quote these type jobs or any jobs in one video? Love the footage. Keep up the good work!
It looks like a great day to take your tree for a walk, not so great for the tree however.😆
Keep up with the great vids Chris! Love it
Someday I wish you would give the camera to the truck driver, and let him show us where he takes all that stuff. And what they do with all of it.
I love how every move u make is productive
Amen Josh. Chris is a very efficient worker..
I like watching you break the trees by using another tree to break them up! That’s cool CHRIS!
Man that 250 is a hoss compared to the 160. I mean i know the 160 is a great macjine to but its amazing how much stronger the 250 is though.
You make it look easy Chris. 🙂
It is easy.....
Love watching your videos, I’ve learned a lot from them
forest landscape very good buddy
The aquipment is cool
Great Video Chris !! If your not running a Stihl super full skip chain try one they are Awesome!!
Feel free to upload more content, we have lots of time..and enjoy your work
ENJOYED WATCHING THE VIDEO CHRIS 😊
Great video Chris.Hope you stay safe.👍🏻
Finally some 250 action!
Like the video and that Volvo 250 is very strong .
I'm 44 and operating a machine like this one has always been my lifetime dream - I've ended up making fake teeth instead :( . What a beauty this one is !!!

Reminds me of when they were building by me when I was 3 years old. Back in ‘84. They used an Insley excavator
Nothing like watchin the 250 eat some trees. Lol
It would be right up there with driving a D11 through the lot.
@@TrevorDennis100 Like a clusterbomb over a field of zombies .... Aaaah
keep em coming Chris, looks like we are getting some rain here every day for the next fortnight, so relying on you.
I really like the 250, thats a real nice machine
Great job on the video enjoyed watching
Clearing with ol Brutus must make u feel like Paul Bunyan and the incredible Hulk all rolled into one !!!!
Why don't you use a chipper for all the brush . several truck loads into one ??
That 250 has got a hell of a bucket
That 250 is a fast machine to be that big and strong.
How long did it take you to figure out it was easier to dig up the trees than cut them down then dig up the stumps?
What a great way to clear a lot.
Looks like fun. When the kids grow up, so do the Tonka toys.
What might be a ball park figure for clearing a 0.5 acre, mild slope similar to what is shown in this video?
11:59 Yay 250. ; && Yay real life construction video.
Wow you have beautiful 250
That 250 is a beast.
The early master of excavation at work!!! Been watch for 10 years!! Chris ..keep it up!!
The bucket pin going out?
Hey Chris,where do you take the stumps, land fill?
Do they shred them or something?
Graham from Sydney
Australia
Man that machine looks good.
I was waiting for those blue creatures from avatar to start shooting arrows at you
😂😂😂
You need a small log truck all the trees you take out. Make some side money.
I wish I wasn't on hospice care. But either way I also wish I could be a 1/3 as good as you are.
Hey Mountain. Sending you healing prayers. God bless.
Hi Chris, your Stihl saw runs a little bit at the not okay side. I repaired a lot of these. Please have a look.
Wow, the 250! I miss it and don't even run it:)
Nice and green 🌲
Made for a great video bro. Ya'll stay safe
A lot of power in that machine. How long did it take for you to clear that lot?
Does the dump truck tail gate swing to the side for all the large debris. It doesn't look like a high lift.
How are you able to down the trees during nesting season for the birds ? We would be fined to the hill
dan greeves they work in a place where common sense still rules, usually.
How does the truck driver prevent that load getting hung up in the tailgate when dumping?
That truck has a gate that swings to the side also. It can be opened all the way up.
Chris, I'm curious as to what trees have been the most difficult to remove. I would think the soil type would have something to do with removing.
Does it bother you that there is a little bit of slop in the stick and bucket already? It appeared to be like that from the beginning if i remember right.
Skilled operator nice!
What do you do after with all these branches and smaller trees ?
That 250 is a beast!
I've watched many of your videos, learned a lot...thanks for that. Question: Why are there no critters ever seen? Snakes, possums, raccoons, etc.? Does the noise scare them all away?
this is really cool to watch.
All those big trees u take down could start Alaskan milling some of them into big ole beams for ur Matts y’all use for dredging jobs, they can’t be cheap to buy them Matts??
Wish I was there for the firewood.
Smbody tell that guy to put some damn chaps on.
Phil Audiostrike and a helmet with ear muffs and a face shield!
Chris what is the next size up from the 250

How long do the logs need to be to sell them? I assume that’s where they go.
seems like a woodchipper might be an asset for a lot of the work you do
Fire is better $$$ it’s all about the money
Thanks for NOT adding music to your videos. Can’t beat your narration.
Can you tell us how long it took you to clear this lot and roughly the cost?
That's what I'm talking about watching Chris & Christine eating trees like there was no tomorrow 😎👍👍
How do you negotiate payment with your customer? Hourly or for square yards, or for the entire amount of work agree?
It WAS a nice wooded lot.
After watching Andrew Camarata learn his trade of excavating, it is interesting to watch an experienced team work their expertise.
You do an awesome job!
Damn! That 250 is sweet!
I bet the neighbors liked you starting so early in the morning.
7am is fair game
I was working nights when the neighbor had a pool put in. That was a fun week.
Where I live in rural France work can start early (especially in the summer) but noisy machinery doesn’t start until 8.am. I don’t know if that’s the law or an unwritten law/custom.
7a to 9p is our sound ordinance in AZ. I always had a smirk and felt bad at the same time starting chainsaws in an appartment complex.
Tim
It’s just because the French like their beds..
Wish we had tree's like that
Every time I see an excavator now I look for the thumb. Most don’t have any. Especially not the LD18 :)
Having way to much fun
Well I can't say I played with a big boy toy but I want no Tonka toy today I had fun turn up concrete with a mini X obviously smaller than what do you operate
