Hi Chris, single retired mom here in Ca. (nearing 70yrs old) lived in Va. and NC. Recently found your videos and I'm certainly enjoying them along with your commentary. So pleased to see you didn't cut down that little dogwood tree, not sure it had white blooms awesome job! One worry was Jimmy out there without a helmet with all those widow makers flying around. You with your experience well understand the risks, but him young and in training ? Thank you for sharing Bless you.
I pushed over a 30' pine tree once with a little 226B skid steer and thought it was the coolest thing ever! Now I see this is common practice and it totally makes sense, super easy to clear an area!
Whoever invented the thumb for those machines deserves way more credit than they have gotten. In 96 I had never seen an excavator being used for anything besides digging ditches, by 2006 almost everyone had changed to using them for lot clearing; before that everyone had a 963 or similar for clearing.
Those radios y'all bought sure would be nice! Then you could just tell Tim that those logs we're poplar and not oak. But I reckon volvo sign language works too. Lol
They are called erratics. They were picked up by the glaciers way up north, pushed south as the glaciers moved south. Left behind when the glaciers retreated about 10k years ago.
People in Louisiana would crap to see one of those big boulders in my front yard! lol seriously I wish I had one in the front yard! They’re cool looking!
Looks like the 160 is getting a bit of play in pins and it looks a little grimy from grease residue. Great video as always Chris, keep up the awesome work!!
I was like how the heck did that big tree end up with the stump cut off after he knocked it down and moved it lol I had to back up and watch it again and notice the break in the video.
@@stevehelliwell9101 The Labrador Ice Sheet almost made it to where the Ohio River is now in southern Ohio. North Carolina was a boreal forest near the coast but quickly turned to taiga further inland. There was not even permafrost in NC except for small parts high in the Appalachian Mountains. On the coast the ice sheet made it to just south of Manhattan Island where you can see evidence of it in Central Park. Also, I want to add that glacial erratics are very rough stones. The stones in that field have been shaped by water.
NIce dirt today, instead of that red brick clay you usually work. I think the phrase for those rocks coming from an ice age is "glacial moraine". $2 + that gets you a cheap coffee. Nice job.
Hey Chris nice little job there. Got a question when you have room and laying trees down how’s come you don’t walk the machine forward while bucket high on tree?? Less chance for tree to come back on you plus more control where you want to lay it down. Just trying to help you out a little. Try sometime you may like that style of clearing. Take care
Beer Money Logging went home parched on this gig.😕 Do they plan to have footers dug in this rock garden or is cabin going on poles? Thanks for video...
Myself favorite thing is watching you clear land and the way you break the trees by using other trees to crunch them into smaller pieces! Cool brother
Chris u had me crack n up with yur singing n gestures... Love to hear u say.. COME ON... 😍
One of my favorite jobs is clear and grub. Save those rocks! Great landscapers!
It's probably boring for you, but I really enjoy watching you drop and fold those trees.
It's almost like you know what you are doing! 😜
Thanks.
Yeah I’m watching another older video Chris! I love em all brother! And always waiting for the next one my brother! 👌🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Just amazing ... Chris folds up a 40-foot tree faster and neater than I can fold up a T-Shirt!
Well done Chris and Timski. 👍👍🇵🇪🐕❤️
I miss Tim, I enjoyed you having help that could operate also! Less strain on a awesome operator as yourself Chris! You rock brother!

Around where I live we use them for scraping old cars, awesome machine's with many uses that thumb is a totaled game changer

Folds them trees like he's folding envelopes. Nice job!
The owners have a good source of boulders to build a nice wall or maybe a fire pit.Nice job clearing those pesky saplings.
Nice job, looks clean when the skid steer finished up grading out!
The boulders are really cool! That’ll be a pretty spot for a cabin
Well if the cabin does not work out they could at least have a rock concert there. Made for a great video bro
love your methodology. thanks for sharing.
I saw the video from Volvo showing the new EC200. Looks like a nice machine.
They are called erratics. They were picked up by the glaciers way up north, pushed south as the glaciers moved south. Left behind when the glaciers retreated about 10k years ago.
South,.. as in florida? Got any links to that?
Great video Christopher!!!
Nice little lot in the woods 😲👍
Those rocks are called “ erratics”. Dropped by the glacier here and there when it withdrew.
That 160 could use some polish. Its ALWAYS sunny and at least 70 in North Carolina!
ted coffman that’s a lie nothing but rain it feels like this year
People in Louisiana would crap to see one of those big boulders in my front yard! lol seriously I wish I had one in the front yard! They’re cool looking!
Job done very well 👌
Looks great
Nice friday project clearing one big tree and small trees Chris with the 160 excavator.....for a cabin in the woods 👌👍
Very nice and neat.
Perfect one day job, love them.
I’m glad to see you can entertain yourself while your working lol
Plucking hairs in the woods, nice job!
Snap them like toothpicks, nice wooded lot looks like prime area for deer nice job guys 😀👍👍
Keep up the great work man
Made quick work of that! Cool boulders too. Maybe Wade will catch on one of these days and get a stihl 🤣
Chris your doing a great job being patient with tim while he’s learning.
Looks like the 160 is getting a bit of play in pins and it looks a little grimy from grease residue. Great video as always Chris, keep up the awesome work!!
ENJOYED WATCHING THE VIDEO CHRIS 😊
The 160 is starting to look abit faded chris! Keep up the good work 👍
That is productivity in action. Use what tools you have to do the job including the environment.
Clearing job was very good .
Glacial erratics are stones and rocks that were transported by a glacier, and then left behind after the glacier melted
...love the dogwoods...
Nice job👍Sweet excavator😊
Boulders are called glacial erratics. They sit on top or in a moving glacier, dropping them as it moves or melts.
Call Tim on the radio and tell him. The difference between oak and popular trees!!
Yes, it would seem that 'somebody' doesn't like using those 'walkie talkies', doesn't it?
enjoyed your clearing video.. love the chainsaw action too
Nice little job, but interesting too.
The weird rocks have a great name... They are 'erratics' deposited there by glaciers.
The 160 needs a buff.
Thanks for the video.
great work but knowing what I know now so sad for the trees that are taken down.
I was like how the heck did that big tree end up with the stump cut off after he knocked it down and moved it lol I had to back up and watch it again and notice the break in the video.
Those radios really come in handy don't they?
Especially when they are home ? lol !
Bam ! Bam!! just like that , hows it's done.....
Nice video...
The name for the rocks is/are Erratics, they are left behind after the glacier melts away.
Except there were no glaciers in NC to melt away. 😉🤷♂️
@@ut000bs There is plenty of evidence to show glaciers were around the Raleigh area of NC.

@@ut000bs Boone Fork glacier...;-)
@@ut000bs Glacial erratics can be either rough or smooth, or partly both, depending on when they were picked up & where they travelled in the glacier.

Nice job.
Nice place for a cabin I would stay there the entire deer season
I admire your skill with an excavator !! 😍😍😍
Tim and his chainsaw, it's a beautiful thing!

Dose the grab came with the excavator or did you put it on it
Chris.... If you have the thumb extended about half way and you boom all the way in can you hit your front glass? It looks really close sometimes.
it will hit the corner of the cab
Looks like the 160 needs a little bit of wash and wax action.
That Stihl has plenty of power.
Holy shit rocks first time I have seen them where you live
I'd love to have a dozen-or-so of those boulders .. for landscaping .. care to bring them over? (ha!)
How long has tim been showing you how to clear?
"Glacial erratics"
where are the radios you bought a while back??
Them. Sthils rip. Dont they. Within next few videos your gonna be over 200,000. Subs crazy
Todd, He deserves every one doesn't he !!
Je suis de retour Joey Jackson je vous réserve une énorme surprise fantastique top du siècle ✌️✌️✌️
hello Chris bon job.
You need a floppy bucket like Dirt Perfect. LOL JK
Do you run the backhoe controls or the regular
Dang, that last pine tree had a ton of pollen all over it!
Ha Ha Ha, want to get Tim's attention? Throw a bucket in his face. Great videos and close to 200,000, good for you
When you going to install your radios?
I can't get a good look at the bark, but it's probably Elm. The grain is super stringy to the point I refuse to split Elm for firewood.
That bucket and thumb is just an extension of his own arm!
That lot is slicker than a minnows gube.
The sequel to the movie - The Cabin In The Woods. Plot - The horror begins when evil spirits are released from the ground, by machinery clearing land.
Alan Smith then the sequel of kill dozer starts. Possessed equipment killing operators.
So that's what has happened to America. When you think of it on a massive scale. The Native Americans had it much better than we ever will.
What happened to the hand held radios
Looks like you do a fine job on the saw. The only problem I see is that it's a Stihl.
You prefer Fisher-Price?
@@RRRIBEYE Hahaha, Priceless.
You saw like me. Force maximum, At least your chain looks sharp :)
Moraine rocks.
What size stihl chainsaw is that??
nice thumb on that rig
Do you ever find honey bees, in tgem old hollow trees?
See if you had your two way radios you could had called Tim on it lol lol ( sorry could not resist )
Todd Roberts just needs some cb radios installed. Good for the machine sand trucks.
You sure know how make that machine SING
Squatch! (I SWEAR I saw him).
Does all of your equipment have your buckets on them? They look bigger than the original one that can on them
It's Pick Up Sticks with heavy equipment 😂
Where is your radios at home again lol
Thanks for sharing Chris have a great day and stay safe out there
How old is the 160?
Lucky you move the 160 and the branch didn't land on the cab that's what you call a good operator
Striation rocks
So what happened to the radios you bought to communicate?
