Starting another project,nice piece property and I’m sure after you put your touch on it.possibly they will get started building their forever home.great video.just keep doing what your doing.👍👍👍😎😎😎
I know it doesn’t matter to you Chris but even watching strip the grass off that area for the driveway entrance just shows how these machines are nothing more than extensions of your arms and hands you simply make it look so damn effortless to do that and make it look good as well! I never get bored watching you do this work, it’s always a pleasure to watch a true pro at work!
Good and enjoyable video. Chris, I believe you were born to run equipment the way you can handle it. The extras that you do is a complement to your expertise. Keep up the great work and God Bless.
The motor grader, the finesse machine, one can do things with it that no other machine is capable of, sort of the slickinem up machine on the rough in phase, then you get the 953 beast out to do the bulk of the moving, ( beast,meaning the biggest machine on site.) fun project to watch develop sir, thanks.
Job well done installing the pipe at driveway entrance, very nice! I trully enjoy watching the grader work, my favorite piece of construction equipment I owned. I'd like to see more of it. Thanks for the video.
Love seeing you use the old school cat's in your business. Excellent for the job at hand and versatile as a dozer and a loader in one machine. Keep up the great work Chris and enjoy the good weather before it goes down hill soon.
A new Driveway with a Water course to Install for You a little Work. And for a House the Basis to a Foundation to grading this make You Perfect. Good Work and a Interesting Video from this Work.. 👌
Be a nice change from rooting out stumps and building ponds bro. Looking good so far anyway and the track loader gets a run on a paying job. Safe travels. Ken.
Oh yeah…, had been going thru some grader withdrawals.., great to get a jolt of grader action.., before winter squashes it till next year… the site prep looks great. Thank you sir.
It amazing to watch how all you guys have to do for a road or driveway way is clear the grass off and lay a few inches of gravel on it . I'm in upstate NY . If you want your driveway to last up here you need about six inches of gravel , a good layer of binder blacktop and then a two inch finish layer. I built my house on top of a mountain and had to put in a foot of cobbles fabric and six inches of bank run gravel .
Driveway, what's that? Many of the homes down here just have grass and you drive on that. But then our rock is less than 6" down and what the grass grows on is basically ground up rock.
Good evening Chris, unfortunately the gentleman from New York State. Does not understand that the ground water table, in the Carolina's is high. Sometimes very close to the surface. There is a high content of hard clay. That clay does not always percolate. Chris is for the most part, working with that clay. It is advantages to pack the clay, and use it as a base. The amount of drainage that is installed, makes or brakes your road integrity. Every state has different soil content, and your requirements to work with that, also changes. Chris goes beyond the minimum requirements. He doesn't have to many jobs, that have to be reworked, because of an error, Joe Capo.
When you were working on the loader & mentioned not wanting a hydraulic oil 'bath' I couldn't remember when you had one until the grader came on screen. That was not a great day.
To bad they didn't build track loaders like skidsterres so you could change the bucket out for other hydraulic attachments I mean it's basically a giant skidsterre 😊
We finally had a sprinkle of rain today here in the western part of NC. Helped with the dust a little. But not enough to soak in like we need. Weekend is calling for more. Finger's crossed. At least the woods aren't on fire now like they were.
@@RAYAR54I was thinking it looked familiar, but I had thought he already had put in the entrance there when I made that comment. But now I am questioning that. lol...what happens when you get old I guess.
I've been watching Chris work for about 8 years, and I never miss a post, and I have only seen him use the front shanks one time. I was surprised at how they operated, and they didn't work very well, but it was neat to see them work.
@@ryanhoward1013 Been watching for 14 years, Beaver dam busting and have watched ever since. It seemed like a good candidate for using them, just to scratch up the top few inches.
This would be great job for you're New bucket you got for you're skid steer you try out other day way it left cuts in soil great for stone on Road base give place to lock in
Hiring Chris is like hiring 20 experts to do a job that needs to be done. He make everything look effortless and he has remarkable vision as to what needs to be done to make the place attractive.
Looks like the 953 could have been the only machine you needed to do all that. Do you sometimes feel like to have to use all your equipment to justify purchasing it? You do have a great collection, though.
Dumb question incoming.... Have you thought of using or obtained a wheel loader for moving dirt long distances on site vs the track loader? I'm ignorant on excavating, but aren't wheel loaders faster? Just curious.
Curious - Where did you come up with the term "Motor Grader"? I've grown up and spent my whole life hearing "road grader" or just "grader" but never motor grader.
Repeat customers. A testament to the quality of work done. Nice job so far. Thanks for sharing.
Well, easy job! Nice weekend everybody!

I agree!
I also agree, two thumbs up 👍 👍 Chris is the very best at what he does. Thanks for sharing
I agree.
That underground is either a hit or miss
My favorite the motor grader. Feels like a long lost friend. Lol
Good and enjoyable video. Chris, I believe you were born to run equipment the way you can handle it. The extras that you do is a complement to your expertise. Keep up the great work and God Bless.
Another fun little project. Have a good one Chris,take care and God Bless you Brother!!!❤😊
Nice to see the 953 out making money not just farm duty…looks like a nice place for a house.

Nice lot. You made quick work with the motor grader. Driveway down, pipe installed and house pad. Boom it's done. Good video.
My two favorite toys moto grader and the bull dozer, TONKA ! Way back in the day….
🇺🇸🇨🇱
Job well done installing the pipe at driveway entrance, very nice!
I trully enjoy watching the grader work, my favorite piece of construction equipment I owned. I'd like to see more of it.
Thanks for the video.
Like the underneath shots. Enjoy watching it take shape❤❤❤❤❤❤
Job well done 👍🏻
I've been looking forward to this project since you took us on the measurements for it!
How long ago was that. I'd like to find the video.
@@nandi123 I think it was at the end of a video but I cannot remember which one. It feels like it was about a month ago though.
@@gscompston3856 thx!!!
I’ve been watching this channel for several years now and your skill level just keeps getting better and better.
Every time I see your mini I'm so impressed with it!!!
Love seeing you use the old school cat's in your business. Excellent for the job at hand and versatile as a dozer and a loader in one machine. Keep up the great work Chris and enjoy the good weather before it goes down hill soon.
It stays good a lot longer in NC than it does in say, Colorado! Lol
@@cathiwim also here in the Midwest 😂
I enjoy watching the grader. I know Chris isn't all that crazy about it outside the great results it gives.
I imagine the Chris' customers love watching their properties taking on the shape of their vision.
Good that you have a lot of work to keep you busy
Back to one of the clearing jobs and now you made it better great video thanks Chris
Got a nice start on this one !! Great as always Chris !! Have a great Evening, And, On too the Next !!
This looks like one of your clearing jobs after leaving Bealy Good Farms. Good job - looks like the grader was not liking rocks and roots.
Loved the new music 🎶 🎵

I rented a grader once to try to clean up a gravel road. Running one of those is significantly harder than Chris makes it look.

Well at least they have the right one putting in the road . Cause you have a lot of experience of that
Oh yeah…,

Thank you sir.
great Video Chris Great use of the time lapse. Good job.!!!!😀😀😀

You got one thing they don’t have much down where Chris is… Deep Freezes. 🥶

Looks like the ground was a little hard. No rain makes the job harder.
Yeah, nice beginning to a new job. 👍👍😊🇨🇦
Thank you and have a wonderful day.
Good start lots of red clay
Wasn’t this the clearing project from a while back? Good looking road and start of the pad!!
I thought it was just me. I think he is just getting around to actually doing the job.
Definitely looks familiar
Yup i think Febuary or March of last spring.
@@crandonborth there you go!
Big Bertha is like a big bad skid steer 👍🏻💪🏻

The other thing to remember is that NC doesn't get the freeze we do. So, no need for 4ft deep basement digs.
Always enjoy watching the motor grader!
THANKS!
Nice knuckle buster! I wish I had one.
great job..
Thats awesome you can haul that motor grader with that pick up truck...and nice to see the 953 get some..Ive been waiting
When you were working on the loader & mentioned not wanting a hydraulic oil 'bath' I couldn't remember when you had one until the grader came on screen.
That was not a great day.
360° with a selfie stick would be epic on the grader.
That’s the way to get things done😊
Hi Chris, I love the new format of your videos.
To bad they didn't build track loaders like skidsterres so you could change the bucket out for other hydraulic attachments I mean it's basically a giant skidsterre 😊
I couldn't tell you why, but I frickin' LOVE watching the grader! 🤩😅 So amusing! 😁

Been praying for ya- I’m on the other side of the hill from you(Sevier County TN)
@@cathiwim God bless you. You must need the rain too. Short way as the crow flies but takes 3 hours to drive through the mountains.
Awesome 😎
Fun to watch
Good morning everyone a wet Saturday morning here ❤❤❤❤❤❤😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Greetings from the land of eternal sunshine.
Not all ways it is spring ❤❤❤😂😂😂
@crawford1656 lol, where are you to have that kind of weather
@@ryanhoward1013 in Australia and in Tasmania
Thanks Chris😊🍺🤗
Where's all the stumps!! Can't have a lot with no stumping!! 😄
This is a previous clearing job of Chris'. Stumps and brush burnt at that time.
@@RAYAR54I was thinking it looked familiar, but I had thought he already had put in the entrance there when I made that comment. But now I am questioning that. lol...what happens when you get old I guess.
@@FSEAirboss I seem to remember him doing a driveway too, it must've been another job. I feel ya on getting old ... LOL
Love the moto grader….❤
Thanks
LetsDig18!
Good morning Chris ❤😊👍🌈🆒
Do you ever use the cutting shanks on the front of the grader??
He said in another post that they didn't work very well.

Nicely done but man I don't know if I would call that grass, lol. Stay safe.
Chris, did you ever burn the big brush pile at the swamp draining project you started two years ago? Hint, hint...😉
That is cool Peace out
The road grader action is always nice. That ground was hard and dry I'm guessing. See ya next video.
Done shots of motor grade would be cool
Huge thanks for squeezing me in.
👍👍👍
👍👍
House looking good. How is the waste water/sewage going to be taken care of?. Obviously the rain water can drain to the lake.
👍
This would be great job for you're
New bucket you got for you're skid steer you try out other day way it left cuts in soil great for stone on
Road base give place to lock in
Kind of different not banging off of stumps every couple of feet.
that soil looks to be as hard as my ex’s heart!
Ada the grader done a good job
Hiring Chris is like hiring 20 experts to do a job that needs to be done.

As I mentioned before I like your grader, you have a Betty I think Mindy would be a good name for your grader
Blair would be my choice.
Didnt we seen this one before
Why time lapse all the loader footage? Was looking forward to seeing it in real time? You do a good job with everything you operate...
I wonder if it's because the tracks squeak so badly makes horrible video
You might need a small off-road dump truck chris 😊
Looks like the 953 could have been the only machine you needed to do all that. Do you sometimes feel like to have to use all your equipment to justify purchasing it? You do have a great collection, though.
each machine has its purpose, Thats why I have them here
They all have their strengths and I'm glad the 953 got to leave the farm!@@letsdig18
Darn was hoping too see you use the fount root rake. Do you ever use it?
Why don’t you have rubber tire front end loaders?
👍👁️

It looks dry there
good video
MM77 Approved 👍🏻👍🏻
Dirt piles don’t look like much after it’s packed down
🔥🔥
Hi buddy
👍🏽
With all the shifting of dirt that you do, I'm surprised you haven't added a scraper loader to your collection??
Hello
nice work cowboy🙏💎🍾🍸🥂🌴🏝👙🍞🇹🇹
So to build the road, you’re using the Motor grader rather than the Motor bulldozer
😮🎉🎉🎉😮
When hauling equipment from site to site do you have your own rig to haul it or do you outsource?
Curious - Where did you come up with the term "Motor Grader"? I've grown up and spent my whole life hearing "road grader" or just "grader" but never motor grader.
Shovel!?!?
