I think you should take that keystone shaped rock and plant it vertically exactly at your estimated high water mark when you are ready to leave the job. Make sure you get a good four feet of the fat end down in the dirt. After it rain washes for a year or so it would be a good conversation piece for the folks in those houses in the background. I guess you should bounce the idea of the owner first. sdh in CT
A nice white dingle ball valance around the top of the cab would really make that machine Pop.. Seen it on another Volvo cab and it looks neat. #duckgirl
Farmers and ranchers use them to irrigate crops and for animals to drink from. Fishing is popular too, and I plan on getting me a pond for just that. No status involved, as I hope nobody ever knows where it is. :D
A lot of the time the number one factor in cleaning out ponds is cost. Most don't have the money to clean out a pond. Its expensive paying someone to do it.
@@jacobrowland9134 Never seen a farmer go half in on any project for the lack of money most are wise enough never to start something that can't finish !
The farmer might be thinking it not worth it with so little rain and the pond so shallow, but what he has now is a pond within a pond that he can pump from. Plus with less surface area (assuming the silt dries in the rest of the pond) there will be less evaporation.
They must make the tailgates for those trucks out of solid silver $$$ for the ones I see online. Need to borrow a big mine site loader and really move some mud..
The movements of the excavator. A mechanical ballet!
Seeing these 2 years late but so intriguing your masterful completion.
Meuud, lots of meuud ! Love your Southern accent !! 👍👌
Love it when you get down and muuuuddy Chris 😉👍🇬🇧

Love the shot at the end reminded me of your old beaver dam videos! Awesome!
AWESOME shot 5:12 coming out the pond👍
Well he seems to know what he's doing. ;)
You ever just get that sinking feeling. You just can't escape it. Lol God bless
Nicely done.
Thanks for the video.
Great as always Chris !! waiting for the next...lolol Have a Great Evening Man !!
Now that's excavating work not tree work🤣
I love your videos! I could watch multiple ones a day and stay very happy!
That opening scene is great.
You sure make it look easy Chris. Well done.
awe , watch out , its clearin up
What a beautiful day for slinging mud
Wow, barely any water in that pond. It's all sediment! Enjoy these vids Chris.
Thank you.
I always liked playing in the mud when i was young and this looks like fun to me but I know it's hard work on your end
I’ll watch any video where you discuss water #ThatAccentThough 😘
1st time I've seen you hit the truck with the bucket!
Very muddy place , not to much water Chris 👍👌
either those are some really huge birds at 3:50 or its a really small pond, their reflections are massive.
Each time I think that trucks full, Chris goes and adds 3 or 4 more scopes!
Sounds like the truck is still missing. Just count on anyone any more. LOL!!!!!
Great video!! Love the water vids!!
How many hours do you put on the equipment before you change the oil?
All-in VOLVO site today - nice! ;-)
how is the haul truck running any luck on fixing it?
Looks like that 220 is going to need a good bath when you get done
I think he said its a 250. he said its his first time running the 250 in a while.
I was weong in the end I saw 220 on the engine
Yeah I knew it was the 220
Nice!!!!!!
That pond needs a lot more dredging.
You are a very skilled excavator operator. Lots of fun to watch.
Mud!
Great working strategy!
Spilling tims coffee @ 12:11
there are actually fish in there? I'd think they would need reverse snorkels.
Either you are using a different camera or the video looks better because I cleaned my glasses ! 😊
Thanks for sharing and take care. 👍
that had to be it.
Chris does have a new camera. He mentioned it in the maintenance video the other day, but whether he's using it here? 🇬🇧
check for blow by on that offroad truck, and or compression test it, might have a bad piston or a bad head gasket...
What kind of big birds thats over past the lake
Mud makes good chain lubricant.
Back on a job you can think about the time off!
Did I just see you hit the truck with the bucket???????
It was a first for me also and I have been watching him for several years.
Ever uncover a ground crack and create a leak unnoticed?
Does that Volvo have a short dipper or is it a allusion?
The dump truck still sounds like it has a misfire. I'm a mechanic and misfires drive me crazy.
I'm not a mechanic and misfires drive me crazy also.
I know a guy that had a misfire, she graduates next year.
@@machinemoverman4614 More of an accidental discharge there
bc its a volvo volvos are junk lol
Mud glorious mud
Chris what size bucket is on the 220
Swedish machies are very good
How many truck loads will you haul out by the time you are finished Chris?
Have you ever dealt with water treatment plant sludge Retention Ponds
A nice white dingle ball valance around the top of the cab would really make that machine Pop.. Seen it on another Volvo cab and it looks neat. #duckgirl
Pretty sure it’s gunna need a good wash when your done
Is having a pond some sort of status symbol down south or what?
Farmers and ranchers use them to irrigate crops and for animals to drink from. Fishing is popular too, and I plan on getting me a pond for just that. No status involved, as I hope nobody ever knows where it is. :D
if all farmers keep there cattle out of the ponds there would be no job for you anymore..:D
Being from So Cal why are there so many ponds in this area
I'm guessing for irrigation and/or as watering hole for the cattle, depending on which kind of farm we're talking about...
The ponds also help lower insurance rates, cuz there aren’t any hydrants out here.
because the government does not ban them like in the land of fruits and nuts
What is some of the strangest things u ever dug up
Like the video , you playing in the muddd.
Do you ever wax your machines? I read about a paving company in CA and they waxed everything, including pavers.
That's what I like to see! Ol girl buried to the top of the tracks. But I know you hate having to clean it afterwards.
Have you ever thought about renting a second Volvo truck for such jobs?
No Matt's on this job
How high's the water Momma?
2 feet and rising.
How high's the water Papa?
I said it’s 2 ft high and rising!
Sexy machine Chris, doing great Job !! Man
I for sure would take full advantage and clean the whole pond if i were him !

@@nickbeam5432 It may be that because of the silt his pump inst working properly so he is cleaning just that area so he can keep using the pond.
If I had that digger I wouldn't need a woman to dig worms for me
You need to invest in a long reach for your business ,speculate to accumulate ,old jimmy WA
I remember watching you when most of your videos were busting beaver dams. Is that a long time ago? Lol
I miss a good beaver dam demo.
dam back up alarm.later.....
You ever thought about making side boards for your Rock Truck?
not like you to have a blurry video, but i,m still gonna watch it anyhows
You're too early, when a video just gets uploaded it takes a while for it to become HD
you probably could have made a tailgate for that truck
I hate the splatters!!!
Kevin a change of diet might help?
Or no more cheap beer
They must make the tailgates for those trucks out of solid silver $$$ for the ones I see online. Need to borrow a big mine site loader and really move some mud..
His truck is a rare one, almost all the ones I have seen have a tailgate.
Belo tarbalho
If he wants anymore out you will have to get a long reach won't you ?
nope, he can use mud mats to carry the excavator out enough to pull the muck out.
As solid as it was he could wade out there.
Although Timmy is still wet behind his ears just lay him across the back of the Truck for a tailgate.
That's not even funny.
Boot
First?
Larry, I think, codymcvicar, Got ya by a minute.
