I was imagining Chris bringing his roller over when they finished making ruts. We had a 20 foot roller that was towed by the tractor on the farm, and it would have been heavy enough to flatten those ruts if the ground was wet. I bet a lot of farms would have something like that. We also had a roller which had loose rings instead of a drum. That was towed behind a big rotary tiller on the tractor. The tiller fluffed up the soil, and the roller compacted it just enough to seal in the moisture, and leave a perfect surface for drilling seeds.
That slide that you went down looked like it was fun for you.Fantastic of you to give them a little help on showing them how to remove the sludge from the far side of the pond.
As I am following Chris for a couple of years now, one can see the progress he made, it's heartwarming to see him always helping out ppl. Remember him rescueing an excavator sunken in mud up to the cabin. Kudos.
Pretty cool seeing ya give those young boys a hand Chris !! You had them running to get their camera set up, They was thinking , We have "LetsDig18" helping us out , got to get it on film !! lolol... Good stuff Man !! Plus, I'm sure they are learning a trick or 2 here and there by watching you !! Great as always Man !! Have a great evening, And, On too the Next !!
I remember reading an SCE cost estimate for laying lines via several alternative paths. They talked about tons/cubic yard. When the dirt is wet the weight really goes up, so the yards per truck load goes way down, the number of trips and cost goes way up. You should be filling the dump truck only about 2/3 full when its hauling mud.
I knew that pond was shallow, but did not realize it had that much sediment in it. Ran a long reach one time, very different with that long arm having some "play" to it when trying to load. You have to stop short of your target I figured out pretty quick. Good stuff guys.
Good on you to get in that pond and move some out of range mud that they could load up from the bank. That truck was seriously splashed with some mud splatters 😀
We knew you could do it Chris. Good job. Is there anyway up stream you could make a catch basin to prevent some of the sediment from washing into the pond? That is a LOT of mud. Have a great weekend.
Giday from Australia I operated one of these CATs long reach 30 years ago if you get them on greasy slopes, they won't pull themselves out so easy they are piss weak on power when needed to handle their own weight getting out of sticky situations lol
Chris you was in the mud this morning breaking up concrete and I turn You Tube back on tonight and here you are in a pond digging more mud. Great job digging out the pond. Have a great weekend and God Bless.
I was wondering if that was John's long reach they'd hired? I can't see Chris ever adding one to his ever increasing fleet of dirt moving machines. Geoff Bealy has mentioned Chris expanding his knowledge and experience working on his house build. Plus we have just seen him dig the footings for the new cabin on his farm, so I am also wondering if pond dredging will form less of his workloads, and maybe get into supporting building. I think Frank Cunningham (DigginOK) would have been pleased with the job Chris made digging those trenches, and I doubt there are more than a hand full of operators who can match Frank's skills at digging trenches.
You have not lost your touch on a Long Reach I would also like to say that that young man needs to get rid of the engine that he's got and find a good DT466 by International that is a good engine the state of Indiana uses those😂
To get the crane out of the pond the force applied needs to be as close to the plane of the undercarriage as possible. Otherwise you're lifting the tracks, or burying them. That's my opinion.
Memory's of playing in the MUD nice work you just make it look so easy Cheers for helping out the Nabours Makes a pleasant chang from working on the chain gang Cheers
@@kenore4003 yeah I know about that problem , I just haven't seen Chris having that issue . I did notice that the camera seemed to be mounted a little more to the left in the cab of that Cat then what it is in his own equipment .
Looks like your still learning if you ever go down a hole like that again go down sprockets first less likely to loose a track the amount of times I seen lads loose a track trying to get back out I hire out heavy equipment for nearly fifty years 👍
The muck truck carrying the mucking muck 😮😮, yuck yucky muck on the muck truck 😊😊😊😊😊. Chris definitely required a very wide lens lenses for videoing today's project, 😮.

That truck fills in the ruts as it makes them.

Pretty sure my kid has a kids story book about a dump truck like that "The little one that could"

Great example of a true professional making it look easy. Like landing a plane in a strong crosswind, experience and skill make all the difference. 👍

I love pond videos the bestest!😂
They are my favorites. Have a great rest of the weekend Chris. Take care,have fun and God Bless ya Brother!!!❤😊
Once again, you make it look easy. Nice mud moving job, Chris. What a good friend you are. Thanks for sharing.
Great job playing in the mud great video thanks Chris
Chris, I think I can handle the straight digging, but if I had to load that truck with that long reach, it would have a lot of dents in it. Good job.
Chris adding some suspense to his channel, trying several different ways to extricate his excavator from a bowl.
Chris is one heck of a operator!
For get the dumper you need a farmer with a muck chucker spread that in the field
" forget "
Nice job, bet they appreciated your expertise and help. Great cycle times, thanks for the update, enjoyed watching.
I hope your buddy does take his monster truck through the pond mud be super cool 😎😎😎 hi everyone from northwest Missouri ❤
That truck fills the ruts as you go 😂😂
That is a lot of sediment in that pond. How much have they taken out now? Thank you and have a great day.
So let me guess. When he gets done playing with the long reach he will give you a good deal.
Pond number 2 begins construction.
Good work Chris very smooth cutting that out and the machine was real smooth as well

What we have here people is A Chris in his natural habitat, where make things look so great, great job Brother 👊
Chris, that video on moving that bridge is that going to be shown?
I was going to ask the same. Maybe something went wrong.
Fun times playing in the Mud with Chris like a few years back with Chris digging a few ponds that were absolute mud holes
That would make some great topsoil once that dries out .
Throw in some cow manure in the mix and let it dry out and mix it up and spread it out, greenest pastures
@@13eckerlosmuerte yes
I love a mud job thanks Chris.
Thank you! Love your channel! Fun to watch and see you helping out those kids!! Stay safe and positive!! 👍🏻😁🍀
oddly satisfying...palsying in one of natures rock crushing accumulation sites!!
Why did I ever think you were solidly stuck? Silly me. Never doubt Chris!
If it's a pond in need of restoration it's Chris's kinda fun.
If it's a friend's job he's glad to join in when nedded.
I ENJOYED WATCHING THE VIDEO CHRIS 😊
See dump truck poop! When mud is involved, failure is in the cards!
Those 15 second cycles move a lot of mud evenusing small bucket!
One man’s rusty is another man’s wishes he could be that good!
They need a silt pond above that. Insane to let a pond fill in that much.

[17:11] From the back the CAT has the look of a dragline machine :-)
They should set the tailgate chains and spread the mud out on the field. It would dry quickly and the pasture would love it.
That truck has a major case of the RUNS! 😱😁🤪🤣👍👍🇺🇸
just like the old days working with John.

@@TrevorDennis100 That one belongs to the chap who owns the farm.
Is the bucket size currently the maximum size for pond dredging or can it be larger?
If it were much bigger it would tip the excavator when loaded. There's a fine line there sometimes . . .
lingo: johnny popper = scraper sheepsfoot = compactor fergie = massey ferg skip loader any others?
"Johnny Popper" usually refers to a John Deere.
Name is a left-over from the 'old time' 2 cylinder diesel tractor...
yup... it went-- pop-pop-pop-pop.
You have not lost your touch on a Long Reach I would also like to say that that young man needs to get rid of the engine that he's got and find a good DT466 by International that is a good engine the state of Indiana uses those😂
I seem to remember you rescuing a stuck excavator from this job!….. or maybe that excavator!
Man that long reach really moves the materials
LOL poor little red dump truck! Neighbourly assistance - actually Carter had done a great job. Fun times in the mud whilst achieving a goal.
Very cool to see you on the long reach. Your pond reno's are my favourite to watch. Will you ever buy a big dipper ?
Chris will all that mud make good topsoil?
I bet it drives you nuts having mud all over everything as particular as you are with your stuff!😬
Only on letsdig18, can you see Chris show us a dump truck literally taking a dump. 🤣😂Nice job Chris.
smart neighbor right there, they know Chris wants to help out as much as possible with that sweet long reach machine!! LOL
😳 Chris, ROLL-UP YOUR WINDOW❗️❗️❗️❗️😮
Man that is one super quiet machine.
Sliding down like that turned a CAT into an otter! 😁😋
I don't know what it is about them, but long reach excavators are so cool
He is a perfectionist. I appreciate the little things that might get overlooked!
You got in there might be difficult getting out
Enjoy the ride Chris
A few hours at the pressure washer and it will be like new.
You seem to like a challenge of part time mud dredging. Still helping your neighbors is good.
Always repair your divot!
Dump truck looks like it's prep day for a colonoscopy.
Saturday morning ing after a big night at the Tex Mex restaurant.
Going back to childhood day's playing in the mud. Thanks for the video
250 more truckloads and he will have a stable pond and the area's largest mud pie. Ray

Man wish there was an incab view of going into the pond! That would have been quite the clip
Just another letdig18 perfect job.
Enjoyed this video bro and good to see a long reach again. Safe travels. Ken.
Good to see a pond dredging. Been a minute.
Is it just the camera, or is the stick slightly bent ?
Fish eye lenses on those cameras tend to bend everything a little bit.
@@kenore4003 yeah I know about that problem , I just haven't seen Chris having that issue . I did notice that the camera seemed to be mounted a little more to the left in the cab of that Cat then what it is in his own equipment .
@@bobbrinkerhoff3592 He may have been using their equiptment.
@@kenore4003 it was definitely their Cat , but the camera was probably Chris's own .
Great job 👍🏻
Looks like a good place for deeper grousers on the tracks...
this little pond reminds me of that job you did in the head section of that larger pond you did that was nothing but mud ...
I’ve been watching your channel for a couple of years now, I think the long reach has got to be my favorite machine.
You are an amazing operator of all equipment. Really enjoy your videos. Thanks 😊
Good fun both using the CAT and running the 'little' red GMC.
Good dump truck… good motor replacement…. But not the best. All I’m going to say
3:49 Sponsored by Taco Bell!
To thick for taco bell 😆 🤣 😂
That truck needs a doctor! Bad case of diarrhea.
Polska pozdrawia przyjol bym się do pracy
I watched Carter's vid when you wear with him ❤❤❤❤
your probably end up buying this machine?
Good call.
You forgot to put it in 4 wheel drive ...... 🙃
Thanks for the ride 👍👍👍👍
I've always wondered, could you mix this muck with less than stellar soil to make some decent topsoil?
know everything over the pond is bigger but like to see the cow that dropped that one
looks like a bad case of dinosaur diarrhea at the 4 min mark
lawdy jist look at dem One handed workers, and brand splinter fire new Butters, yup thems construction workers alright
Looks like your still learning if you ever go down a hole like that again go down sprockets first less likely to loose a track the amount of times I seen lads loose a track trying to get back out I hire out heavy equipment for nearly fifty years 👍
I have no idea what’s being done but I’m loving it. 😊❤❤
Your having too much fun showing them young uns how it's done. Good job
The muck truck carrying the mucking muck 😮😮, yuck yucky muck on the muck truck 😊😊😊😊😊. Chris definitely required a very wide lens
lenses for videoing today's project, 😮.
Good to the young doing the work as well as the exasperated
The kid just needs watch a bunch your videos where you went rescued other ppl stuff that they got stuck !
All I can say is that machine must have some honkin boom cylinders to be able to lift itself and a bucket full of mud.
👍
Great job has always
