Nice job Chris! Some people don't understand that hiring someone or renting a machine to do something you can do yourself eats into your profits. Just a little extra work. Talking about the wind, burning brush piles today, no matter what side I was on the wind would blow my direction!
The new Volvo Big Scoop Materials Broadcasting Bucket. Gets you done and down the road almost before Ole Betsy stops purring! (good skills and some practice required for best results)
If you've never spread mulch with an excavator before you make it look like you have. You always have great ideas to work with the equipment you have. Great job as usual.
Excellent job of using the tools at hand. Haul truck was a smart buy, excavator large enough to do what you want, but not to big or too small. State must be an 80K since all the larger trucks I see are 5 axle. Nice work. For me, food for thought. Learned a lot ..😎
You had "A WHOLE LOTA SHAKEN GOING ON" there. Looking good. Maybe you should grab a "Truck Horn" set up for the excavator, be something different there.
I used mulch to stabilize about an acre on top of a hill this past summer. I've learned it works wonderful until you get about a 4 inch rain. Then its the biggest washed mess you've ever seen.
I would have started at the upwind end and worked downwind, so the dust would blow to where the next bucket load will be going. Though I likely would have worked the end, then up both sides at the same time so each trip would be shorter distances from the stockpile.
Hey Chris I need some mulch spread in my garden. I feeling kinda lazy. You think you could come spread it with the Volvo haul truck and excavator. Lol God bless
It's really looking good. I'm sure you knew how many different ways you could have speeded the mulch with out me telling you but looks like you're way was fine
Did you know they have a blower that can blow mulch from the truck onto the slpoes or any where needed? At least here in california there is a company that is all the do.
@@jaywest4102 yes I see it small unit flake at a time. It's a finn. Finn makes several sizes of blowers. There a simple machine. I use to a larger unit you tow and has a conveyor belt that when towed person on a truck bed/trailer would feed whole small bales on conveyor. The person on unit controls the in feed and the shoot from blower as well as speed of travel with the driver of the truck towing. By use of a horn and hand signals. Blown out 1,000 's of bales. Two to three truck&trailers loads a day. Been there done that.
When I did landscaping we used mulch blowers all the time. You can add quite a bit of hose to the truck because it uses air to push the material down the hose. The company we used also had truck that would blow top soil and sand. For the application it would of worked awesome, get the truck as close as possible and start adding hose.
The Excavator don’t know what to do with a bucket full, and it still so lite lol, believe your right no it’s lumber and not trees. It’s to lite in color to have bark, and leaves in it.
That mutch reminds me of when me and my uncle use to do landscape work... I think if you had the grader with you it would be alot easier just have the rock truck dump the load and Smoove the pile out with the grader
By spreading that mulch, shows just how much and big that bucket is on that machine. Ooh yeah, be on the lookout for the keyboard spending others money warriors... rent a frontend loader and mulch spreader.
We had to haul a bunch of hog fuel from where we were grinding to where we could load it so we put our 4 foot shoring cages ontop of our rock trucks. Worked great. Then we had our 9 foot chip bucket on the hoe to load the trucks at the road
They are only hauling 80 yards a load? My trailer was 110 yards, and we figured we hauled 100 per load with the way we loaded It. its dry enough that I would figure they can handle it no problem and not be overloaded.
Almost need a side slinging manure spreader, and I bet the freight getting that stuff hauled that far wasn't cheap, freight was probably more than the product.
Looking at the very first scene, I must be confused about what's going on here. There's now way you can have a high powered rifle shooting range with a house as the backdrop!?!
Drop 4 or 5 inchs of straw on that sand...track it and drive on it for a day...lil dust of slung mulch and a mineral fert like ironite make that burmuda grass be a golf green if want to mainance it
Craig I keep wondering how much this must have cost the customer? It looks like a rich man's pet project rather than a commercial shooting range. They wanted the pond to be deep as well, which makes me wonder if it was for irrigation, so maybe a rich farmer who likes guns. I must surely have cost hundreds of thousands and maybe even into seven figures.
Chris reminds me of a little boy playing with his Tonka toys 😊😊 his enjoyment is infectious 💖💝
You're making that look too easy! Well done Chris! :-)
Nice job Chris! Some people don't understand that hiring someone or renting a machine to do something you can do yourself eats into your profits. Just a little extra work. Talking about the wind, burning brush piles today, no matter what side I was on the wind would blow my direction!
The back to eden folks will be slobbering drool all over their keyboards at all that wood-chip going down, lol!
I’ll never complain again about spreading eight yards of mulch around the house! LOL
The new Volvo Big Scoop Materials Broadcasting Bucket. Gets you done and down the road almost before Ole Betsy stops purring! (good skills and some practice required for best results)
I’ll be damned. You are using those walkie-talkie.
Usually they will grind up pallets. The red and black mulch you can buy is dyed ground up pallets.
Never saw such a mass of mulch! You're the 'King of Mulchdozing' :-) Best regards from Germany.
Need a litter truck

Tim sounds happy he must enjoy is job as much as you do. That mulch spreads well with your genuine off the shelf mulch spreader bro.
It does look great good job Chris enjoyed watching the video have a great weekend
“Doo doo doo duh doo do” - Mr. Timmy
nice wheel barrow and shovel keep great videos coming
You are doing a great job. The customer should be very happy with the results.
We use a cheap old manure spreader to do this in waterways
Every time you started saying shake shake I could imagine a parody of an oldie LMAO "shake shake shake your excavator"
That mulch will stabilize and when it rots down it will turn into topsoil .
Two words... Mulch Blower!
You had "A WHOLE LOTA SHAKEN GOING ON" there. Looking good. Maybe you should grab a "Truck Horn" set up for the excavator, be something different there.
Now that would be the cleanest job that 250 has in a while
From the cab view didn’t look so good, but once out side, winner,winner chicken dinner. Good video and job. 👍👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
I did 16 yards of mulch this summer working for my moms company. I wish I had your shovel and wheel barrel lol, It took me 14 hours
I used mulch to stabilize about an acre on top of a hill this past summer. I've learned it works wonderful until you get about a 4 inch rain. Then its the biggest washed mess you've ever seen.
It really come out nice and even,
Stay safe
Dwayne
That worked out really well nice job man!
Don't worry, the weeds will hold it all down. They grow well in mulch.
Those trailers must have walking floors.
hi chris another fab job my friend ...your the man...
That’s a expensive shovel and wheel barrow lol
I would have started at the upwind end and worked downwind, so the dust would blow to where the next bucket load will be going. Though I likely would have worked the end, then up both sides at the same time so each trip would be shorter distances from the stockpile.
Awesome Job!!
Hey Chris I need some mulch spread in my garden. I feeling kinda lazy. You think you could come spread it with the Volvo haul truck and excavator. Lol God bless
Mulch is very good. It stabilizes well,
and it looks like woodchip mulch.
It provides a stable bottom for heavy grass.
In Australia we would hydromulch the banks i.e. straw,seed ,fertilizer and green dye to see were where been
seeing tims reflection in the stack at, or about .30 was kinda cool.
The mulch is likely scrap lumber, sawdust and maybe mill leftovers
Tim is the main man .......
It's really looking good. I'm sure you knew how many different ways you could have speeded the mulch with out me telling you but looks like you're way was fine
All that shak’in should keep you regular.
I've used a Kuhn knight slinger spreader to spread mulch, it is easy.
I like your math better, "7x6 what's that...a lot"..lol
Did you know they have a blower that can blow mulch from the truck onto the slpoes or any where needed? At least here in california there is a company that is all the do.
Kyle Greer those mulch blowers are awesome. It’s been wet here in NC this winter. There’s a wet area at the beginning of the range trucks can’t cross.
Their pretty much everywhere
They have a blower, but it does bales of hay not loose mulch.

Chris one Volvo excavator takes the place of 100 Mexican Landscapers!
I use shredded bark so it inter locks with it self and won't float away like wood chips
Mulch on a steep slope. I'm sure the rain won't wash that away.
Great idea spreading the mulch that way! Did you track it in to help stop washouts? Reminds me of cornfields after heavy rains. Corn stalk log jams.
Looks like sawdust u r doing great
The Excavator don’t know what to do with a bucket full, and it still so lite lol, believe your right no it’s lumber and not trees. It’s to lite in color to have bark, and leaves in it.
You really should consider using rototilt system and different shovels in different uses. Really helps in your jobs.
How about that they got radios out! It only took like a year for them to show up in a video 😊
That wind just won’t give ya a break huh. Feel bad for the Volvo filters lol.
I would be afraid that the mulch will wash or blow off the berms. Are you going to plant anything on the berms?
Look like your day is going to be. a whole Lotta shaking going on. Lotta stuff to be spreading. 👍☕️🍩
I bet a good layer of clay on top of the sand between the burms then a nice layer of dirt on top of that would make a great seed bed for grass
You need a mulch blower. By far the best invention ever.
That mutch reminds me of when me and my uncle use to do landscape work... I think if you had the grader with you it would be alot easier just have the rock truck dump the load and Smoove the pile out with the grader
They're some pretty soft and steep side-slopes - even the dozer was struggling to stay on the hills and ended up squashing/widening them slightly.
I think you need more people to tell you how to do it lol
Chris shaking your body will not help shake the bucket. Sorry just don't think you weigh enough buddy. Lol God bless
By spreading that mulch, shows just how much and big that bucket is on that machine.
Ooh yeah, be on the lookout for the keyboard spending others money warriors... rent a frontend loader and mulch spreader.
Oops...
Dont do that Chris. Lol
We had to haul a bunch of hog fuel from where we were grinding to where we could load it so we put our 4 foot shoring cages ontop of our rock trucks. Worked great. Then we had our 9 foot chip bucket on the hoe to load the trucks at the road
Last time I saw that kind a shaking was watching Kristina Hendricks on Mad Men......must a been jelly cause jam don't shake like that.............
Maybe you could hand over the camera for one day or so to Timmy so we can see a bit of what he does
Great video Chris👍
Did you consider renting one of those skid steer attachments they use to bed free stalls in cow barns for this?
Load it on a chicken litter spreader its lays it out beautiful
Chris got himself a personal communicator, guess he got upset with the driver yesterday. 🙂🙂😋
yes chris, today you can honk your horn , today you have a driver in the rock truck :)
Chris, how do you guys bid a job like this? Machine hours plus materials?
They are only hauling 80 yards a load? My trailer was 110 yards, and we figured we hauled 100 per load with the way we loaded It. its dry enough that I would figure they can handle it no problem and not be overloaded.
he swore the truck scales said he was all over 80K lbs
Excavators should have a bucket shake button
manure spreader?
Well done spreading the mulch use what you have saves money.
If there's a 4 hour round trip to get the mulch, isn't that an indication that there is a business opportunity for someone in your area?
The Potterer he’s not in his usual area. If I’m not mistaken I think this job is about 100 miles from home
Seeing a whole bunch of mulching experts in here Chris. Keep doing what you're doing. Your way!
good video
I think we can get 160 yards in our walking floors here in Michigan.
Any building demolitions in the near future?
That’s one nice truck that blue kenworth
I bet that wood mulch grows a freaky crop of assorted 'shrooms before it degrades to soil.
That should say light enough not lighten up.
I got something in my eye!
Chris - that is a big job. What is the ballpark cost for something like that?
Almost need a side slinging manure spreader, and I bet the freight getting that stuff hauled that far wasn't cheap, freight was probably more than the product.
That worked out pretty well Chris, Looks Great !! Not long now , then on to the Next !!! Have a Great Week End......
Well, that was silly. After watching the drone footage in the next video, the house is just a reflection. "smoke and mirrors".
Looks like a lot of double work
Well, add "mulch spreading" to things a good excavator with a good operator can do well. You should be the first person to try out the range.
Anyone else wondering what is pushing that mulch out of the trailer?
It's a walking floor trailer.
@@FiremanSVFD-cf1jn Yea I figured that out after I posted the comment. Thanks
Looking at the very first scene, I must be confused about what's going on here. There's now way you can have a high powered rifle shooting range with a house as the backdrop!?!
What would you say you do Tim? "Well, I hold the camera sometimes".
Chris you had your bucket too high when you were spreading the mulch....
👍👍👍
How much wood can a wood chuck chuck? Not as much as Chris. Lol.
Can you explain how those trucks unloaded the mulch?
sdp227 the floor is basically a conveyor belt that rolls the mulch out
ruclips.net/video/P6p4M-_LiDg/видео.html Friction makes the magic happen.
Shake your Bucket !!!!
Drop 4 or 5 inchs of straw on that sand...track it and drive on it for a day...lil dust of slung mulch and a mineral fert like ironite make that burmuda grass be a golf green if want to mainance it
That's been one heck of a project....Mighty fine job your doing.

They wanted the pond to be deep as well, which makes me wonder if it was for irrigation, so maybe a rich farmer who likes guns.

neat
