Just can't get over how good you are with this bucket and thumb. Magic. "Got it now. Bam cut you into. Take that." Haven't seen the log sweeper in a while. Cleans up nicely. Hope your eye has healed. Thanks Chris. Have a good weekend. Winston wants Tater tots.
Amazing Chris, I've been watching you for years you're the best operator I've seen. Catching that tree and moving it away from your camera epic awesome.
You do such awesome work. That looked like a full crew of 4-5 on several machines did that instead of a singularly talented man on one excavator. Since you aren't wearing the sunglasses, I hope that means your eye is better. Thanks for sharing this.
Always Enjoy seeing you pick up a Log and Smoothing the Surface out with it. You know ALL of the Tips and Tricks in Excavating. DirtPerfect take Note. 😬👍
It’s a credit to you how well you look after your machine 😊 hard to tell from a distance the old from the new , loving the new one 🎉 you really do deserve it. Hope your eye is feeling better
NO matter what, you Always make it look Easy but that’s what Professionals consistently do. You Overdeliver at a fair price which doesn’t generally happen. 👍
You're the last channel I watch every night. As much as I've seen you use the grapple, I'm still entranced by your skills and how you use it for so many different procedures. Fascinating. Thank you for sharing with us. God bless.
My name is Tim. I am a retired electrician. Grow up on a farm and ran a lot of different machinery in my time.I live in the south part of New Mexico. Watch your channel when I can . You do a good and interesting show. Really like watching a man that know what he is doing. Makes me wish I was younger and could up and run one of those machines for you. I know you could train me to be a good operator.
Big machine makes the job small, it also beats beating a small machine to death trying to accomplish the same task. Nice job and I like your thinking, thanks for the ride along sir.
lmao! at 6:40 "it woulda took me an hour to dig around this thing" ... dude, it woulda taken me all weekend for that ONE, and, that's assuming I didn't accidentally drop it on my own self ... it's always amazing to watch someone work who REALLY knows their craft!
@@randywilson6869 Cant see why he didnt by that at the beginning with this new Volvo, as it comes as standard in most countries. Would have been a lot cheaper than buy that 360 rotator and the claw extra as he did.
@@pegasus210563 I watch a lot of videos and we (usa) is so far behind.as u said that has been the norm for many years. I watch what knuckle boom cranes can do and we r just getting the over here
I kept expecting another lift and drop to get more dirt off the root balls like normal until I remembered that Chris is not responsible for the burning this time. Also it appears the soil was pretty sandy and dry so maybe they didn’t need more cleaning but it shows how many of Chris’ videos I have watched to where I’m anticipating his actions and notice when something changes. It’s kind of funny that I’m watching these videos considering that I spent this morning running a backhoe moving dirt and the afternoon running an excavator breaking rock, but here I am. 😂
That was a nice looking piece of equipment you looked at the other day.definitely something to think about.this looked like a nice smaller job on nice piece of property.looks like a good area to build a barn,good access.level.your killing it as always.how’s the eye doing,hopefully better.keep on doing your thing.😎😎😎👍👍👍
Snap, Crackle and Pop....kinda made me hungry for cereal for some reason Chris 😁. Boy that machine eats em up!! Thanks for the video. John here, from the back-roads of Northeastern Tennessee.
Two things ... 1st ... I think its clever to use the log as a blade ... the first time I saw you do that was using the mud mats on the big dredging job .... 2nd .... the only way I can tell your two excavators apart at the moment is that the new one has the additional screen ... once I see that I know which machine your in. You certainly do a neat job . Good video.👍👍
You sure make short work of these projects with the 220. Would have been more than a day to do the same work with the mini. Thanks very much for sharing.
Every time I watch you , I wish I had a " Chris " that lived near me . Anyone who does what you do near me , charge enough to buy a new piece of equipment and vacation in the Bahamas for a month . And that's just for a 2 day job .
Nice job. With the camera on the ground it‘s like being a spectator, and with the camera in the excavator it’s like being a co-worker. I prefer the latter.
Who wants to bet that Chris can break and fold up trees in his sleep? Little jobs are good too - they help pay the bills as well as the big jobs. Fine 'log squeegee' action - make for a nice cleanup.
Always nice to have a few of those quick in and out jobs, get a little quick change in ya pocket !! lolol... Man, having the New Machine, and the older one has just opened you up a lot more, to be able to come in like this one and get it knocked of your to do list !! while having the New one on a whole other jobsite.... I think, all you need now is a good right hand Man Chris ?? To be able to have a Big job going , while moving around being able to do the smaller jobs ?? Ya think?? May be get Ol' Tim back ?? He always seemed to be a really good worker and always there... Hell, just a thought !! lolol... Great as always Chris !! Have a Great Evening Man, And enjoy the weekend, And, On too the Next !!
Chris, who does your estimating and quoting and client relations? You always seem to be on site working. Would be good to know who else you work with and how your business is set up. I'm sure there's a lot of novice contractors that could learn from from your hints and tips.
I'm not an equipment operator, but I was wondering if there is some degree of touch or feel when you are crunching up these trees--if that makes senses. I see you virtually crush a tree and snap it in half, yet I see you pick up stuff with kind of a light touch. Do you have some sort of control over how hard you close the bucket and claw? Can you feel the amount of resistance you are getting?

Another fantastic job. Your professional touch makes the job look "ready to be used."
Amazing Chris, I've been watching you for years you're the best operator I've seen. Catching that tree and moving it away from your camera epic awesome.
Gotta love the quick projects. Amazed at how well that bucket cuts those trees in half. Knife thru butter!!
Another Project and it was a Timber Kind of a Day ! Trees Down - Clean Up - Job done ! Many Cheers from us in Australia !!!!
Thanks for taking those vines off they were driving me crazy!! 🤣🤣
I am amazed at how much you can get done in a fairly short time. Looks great. Thanks.
I love watching you take trees down and then bust them into little pieces. Those side cutter bars do good for when you are pinching the tree in two.
You do such awesome work. That looked like a full crew of 4-5 on several machines did that instead of a singularly talented man on one excavator. Since you aren't wearing the sunglasses, I hope that means your eye is better. Thanks for sharing this.

Great clearing job area looks really neat and tidy!!
GOODMORNING ALL &AFTERNOON ALL
The beauty of having two large machines. This would probably been a two day job for the small excavator. Nice work.

Glad to see you are doing better. Don't work too hard, hope you and your family have a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday.
Good to see your vision coming back as evidenced by your hand, eye coordination. Thanks for the videos.
Hoping the eye is healing up fine. Enjoy you taking us along on another clearing job.

Its impressive the way that EX snaps trees in half like tooth picks
Munch and crunch 😋
@@johnrobichaud2776 tasty meal for the EX, lol
Chris strikes me as a businessman with a heart, a rare combination .
Big machine makes the job small, it also beats beating a small machine to death trying to accomplish the same task. Nice job and I like your thinking, thanks for the ride along sir.
Haven't seen you use the old "Log Broom" since the "Mud Broom" in the big Pond dredging project, lol. That is so cool... !
I'm surprised that home owners don't video tape the work being done. Nice job Chris! 👍👍👍
From one operator to another, nice job.
Tidy outcome👍 Nice 😀Be well😉
Nice short quick little job looking good sir

Chris, hope your on the mend and all is well. Next upgrade for your fleet could be the dyamax tree shear and de-limb attachment. They are nice.
After watching hedblom I think he would like a tilt/rotator

Very smooth operator, job well done. 🇺🇸 God Bless
In and out. Smooth.👍👍👏🏻👏🏻
Just gotta love the little simple jobs - whoops - that was close - good catch!
Love this one in and out in no time you need old iron beam around 12 feet just put it on flot .
15:43 Nice save. Your camera thanks you!
He was just showing off he knew exactly where that camera was, he’s good
I see mr Donnie is staying quiet busy.
Looks like you would be able to pick up leaves from my lawn with that big machine faster than I could rake.
Hey! That tree NEARLY hit me! 🤣

This right here is the benefit of two machines, one sits at the big job, one can go do small quick jobs to keep things flowing.
Those new pins and bushings make for quiet machine operation.
I like the breaking tree on tree. Enjoying your videos.

Wow, that looks clean like the trees were never there 👍👍
Nice tidy finish to this little project bro. Safe travels
How are you feeling good today l hope enjoying your videos Mr. G.
Great job that machine is a beast!! Stay safe Chris!!
Great job by Team Volvo 👍👍
There is a reverance you can hear when someone loves something. I hear that from this man.
Love the sound of cracking wood
Another great job looks good an easy job for you
Looks great Chris 👍👍👍👍👍 nice and clean.
...LOOKS LIKE A GOODER ONE, KEEP SAFE
Easy peasy, lemon squeezy for the new 220. Take care & cheers 🐨🦘🥰
not the new machine
@@richardschipper5989 you are right, got my 220s mixed up.😊
That was a nice little job looking good. 👍👍🙂🇨🇦🌲🌳
I’d be looking for a new job if boss seen me swinging into those trees and crunching them like that lol
Those vines reminded me of walking into a spider web lol
HEY!!!! Almost hit me wit that tree!!

Nicely done chris, great videos
Nothing like a quickie - job. Jus say'in. 😇
Hi Chris nice job today as always Thanks for sharing I hope you and your family have a great Thanksgiving 🦃🦃🦃
Nice job Chris.
I like that save on the camera .Nice shootn tex
Wish I could come down and play in the sand with pine trees! Lol I'm always taking out hardwoods in clay!
Hope the eye situation has been figured out. I guess the little jobs pay the bill on the way to the big jobs. Content never fails.
Nice job. With the camera on the ground it‘s like being a spectator, and with the camera in the excavator it’s like being a co-worker. I prefer the latter.
Great video thanks Chris
Hi Chris what are they charging to the deliver machine to job site on average?
Nice and level spot for the barn and a big pile of wood for a bonfire.
Great job buddy and great video as always buddy 😎👊🏻👍🏻
Love the log broom
nice quick job
this was an easy one, should make really nice building spot. 👍
Nice quick and easy job i still like the yard broom does a nice job nice job Chris how is your eye doing my friend from Ohio 😎

Remember, hes still making equipment and repair payments!
I’ll bet that he is always thinking about tomorrow, he has to, he’s a business man/ owner
I see Robert is working with him now since the Bealy Good pond job
Hope the eye is getting better.......
just came across your channel pretty awesome stuff...subbed!

I do it all myself
@@letsdig18 😲😀
Love that log dragging trick.
Heyo good evening Chris excellent job today it's so awesome how the 220 is working on breaking up those three's. 💯💯💯👌❤️❤️😊.
I can BET tree Hugin peppole would LOVE this video....
If I ever come to the states love to come down for England 🇬🇧 and catch up got a good friend's in America 🇺🇸 all over Chris take care bud 👍
That ground looks green - maybe it is the tint in the window. I notice it now looking out the side door window.
At 3 mins I thought the was a deer mount hung in the tree to the left
Ha ha it did look like one good catch 😄

@@ComommonlyCensored He has run those machines for so long they are actually an extension of his arms...
@@johnnyholland8765 I got that impression, but that didn't really answer my question.
Was wondering the same thing. My kids have “force feedback” video game controllers. ???????
@@tmscheum Whew... I was beginning to feel like an idiot! LOL
@@tmscheum no it does not
Another great job... 🙂
I had an idea that we might see the log sweep technique in action. That's what I call using the onsite resources to your advantage
But you made short order of that Chris. Using things that were there on-site to level off the ground was a very good idea.
Nice job 👍
Wow this is cool wow
Wow what a rush, ...at 15:44 I almost got hit by 2 trees.... 😆 🤣 😂
Lots of clearing jobs for this year. I hope we get to see some mobile homes get crushed next year. 😎
As Diesel creek says, get bigger hammer - you got the bigger excavator to make the job small
