Two comment on greasing equipment - have wiping rags at hand when greasing to wipe off the zerks before and after injecting grease. Makes the job much neater and avoids pushing dirt into the bearing/bushing with the grease. SAFETY NOTE - the grease gun can generate 5,000 psi. Keep your fingers away from the zerk when injecting grease - it can inject grease into your skin which is very painful and can result in the loss of a finger. A fitting like a Lock and Lube that mechanically attaches to the zerk increases safety and makes the job easier!
Another good looking property. Your work as always making it better. I look at these prperties every time someone says the economy is ruined. Some are investing in the future, and it looks good.
Guessing North Carolina doesn't have a Union for Heavy Equipment Operators, Lube Tech's, or Heavy Duty Repairmen/Mechanics. I say this because you have an "intern" and not an apprentice greasing your dozer. I looked up the wages for an excavator operator in North Carolina and it says the AVERAGE is about $22.50/hr.! That's absolutely insane, lol! I make $57.71/hr. (plus $5.96/hr. for vacation) as an excavator operator in the Union in California. I'll be getting a $4.00/hr. raise each year, for the next three years. Overtime pay (1.5 times my hourly) for Saturday work, and double pay for Sunday/Holidays - regardless how many hours I worked M-F. I pay $234 every 3 months in Union dues (quarterly), plus $1.49/hr. in supplemental dues that comes out of my vacation pay. Not to mention all of our benefits, which include medical, dental, vision and a pension. Plus, all kinds of special benefits through our Credit Union (like college fund plans, low interest loans, etc.), and special add-ons to our medical like chiro, alcohol/drug treatment, etc. None of this is added cost to me out of my wages, except my medical deductible ($250/yr.) and 10% co-pay when I go to the doctor/dentist/optometrist. We also get accidental life insurance at no cost. Last thing I'll add is that, as a Heavy Equipment Operator in the Union, I'm not required to do laborer work or mechanical work. In fact, it's a violation of our contract, and the Laborers Union contract for a company to require me to do so. Although, I don't mind helping out the laborers or mechanics if I'm not busy.
I really like the way the road meanders through the property! You do a great job of clearing, leveling the dirt, then spreading stone to create very nice addition to that area! Also, am impressed by the additions to your Fleet of equipment. The new work truck with it compartments for convenience to parts and tools. The fuel trailer is sharp! The video wasn't that long of time, but Chris you put together very entertaining one! Thanks for letting us ride along! See you in the next one!👍👍😎🇺🇲🙏❤️
You sure have some nice looking trucks hauling in stone for and I looks like those ole drivers handling the trucks have a lot of experience to boot. Road looks amazing as well as the property. Thanks for the update.
Stone work looks great. Making a difference on the Bealy Good Farm is an interesting process and plan. OK who is the new apprentice? Couldn't have a better teacher. Tree work just seems easy.
Watching Chris clear these trees, I had an image of him as a kid come to mind. While most of us, at least when I was a kid in the 50's, we had our Tonka equipment toys building, digging and the such. But I can see Chris coming in with his Tonka excavator and wiping out what ever we had built. LOL, JK. Thanks for sharing.
I like watching the grader doing it’s thing Chris, it does an amazing job but it’s the skills of the operator too! I see you have a trainee on maintaining the equipment! Just what I was thinking, it looks like a state job! lol 😂 😂😂 looking good Chris, thanks for sharing brother! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻👌🏻👌🏻👍🏼👍🏼🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Your projects always look so clean when you are done. It's the attention to detail. Real pleasure to match someone of your caliber work. Thanks for sharing.
As I grew up, I always called the orange machine a road grader...when I worked for a construction company, it was called a motor patrol...now you are calling it a motor grader...hah hah! Love your videos whatever you call them.
#SincerelyCurious ... if the main driveway to the new house lots requires the owners of the new houses to drive over the Dam all the time with no railings of any kind ... I have visions of a car going into the pond accidentally in the dark/fog ... who will be liable ?... 2 house lots, visitors not use to the road etc. ... sounds like an accident waiting to happen
Hey Chris you need one of those little ebike thingies so you don't need to walk back and forth between your jobs on the job. Who knows, if you like them you might just a fleet of them
Question, will all rock or dirt delivery drivers spread the load for you or do you have to arrange for it with the order? Are there some you prefer or does it matter?
My dumpster truck comes with those fork lifts on the front and he scoops it up and dumps it over his head into his dump body and puts it back down in the same spot. Once a week at 3:15 a.m.
Giving that young man a hard time...lolol...When your in that kind of work , there ain't no clock !! You are done when when your done !! Or at least when you get to a good stopping point !! Way we always worked...lolol... Road is looking nice Chris!! Hell Yes !! Those dead trees will jump up and bite ya in the ass , if your not careful !! And I mean quick !! lolol.. But, Great as always Chris !! Have a Great Evening, and Weekend, And , On too the Next !!
Looks like Chris had a very productive day. No breakdowns, more clearing done and debris hauled to the burn pile. Plus bonus footage of him working the motorgrader smooting out that gravel driveway. Always a joy watching Chris operating his motorgrader. Thanks Chris, for some early evening pre dinner entertainment. Time now to get the chow on and feed my other better half Bebita Wife Maria.
Chris someone said the motor grader is your uncles, I did make a remark the time you showcased all your equipment and the motor grader wasnt included, is it yours or your uncles?

Lol day 1 isnt even finished and he's already hollerin bout granny.. Amazing the chance or hire percentage for these 1 hit wonders towers an experienced man 25 to 1😂
Quite remarkable how much of what you do is by feel. Experience with your equipment is evident in all you do. Impressive!
Great to work with real pros ! Makes life ever so much easier!

Give the poor kid a hard time! Probably nervous enough with 3 cameras in his face. That looks like something i would do too.
Chris really school him with the "sloppyhoe" joke. From the good ol school! Lessons learned!

That red Peterbilt is a sharp looking rig
Teaching the fundamentals; outstanding. Also enjoy when you feature repair technicians in the videos.
That red truck is outstanding 🚒🚒🚒🚒
It always amazes me at the amount of material a motor grader can move in a single pass.

You didn't break the end of my grease gun did you ? That's why we can't have nice things . That was classic . Hello , from Idaho .
Love watching the transformation of this property. Thanks so much for bringing us along.
Aaron Witt...slumming today?? Lol

That 376 Peterbuilt is that fellows pride and joy and by the looks of it, he takes real good care of it.
It's good of Chris to take on interns. Their experiences with him can well become career making events.
Not an intern, That dude has his own RUclips channel covering construction things, curious to see what he puts out from this.
@@rizdalegend Oh. Piggybacking. I've seen Chris have students on before and thought this was just another instance.
Where can I find his channel? Indeed, I'm curious too of what he is going to make of it. Thanks in advance 🙂
@Aaronwitt
Grader engine sounds like it runs much smoother.
It really does sound smoother and quieter !
lubrication and fuel injection; good diagnosis by the mechanic guy
Stone work looks great. Making a difference on the Bealy Good Farm is an interesting process and plan. OK who is the new apprentice? Couldn't have a better teacher. Tree work just seems easy.
Great-looking road, Chris. Mr Bealy better appreciate your work. Damn! That looks good.👍
That road really looks awesome winding through the trees,
Roadway looks like it is going to be very nice,once your done.whole project coming right along.great video as always.continue on.👍👍👍😎😎😎

He was with his grandpa on the real thing when he was a kid!😁
Getting the does and don"ts from the wise man of his grandfather, ever weekend.
I wish Chris would tell us how Bealy plans to provide electric, phone and cable to the building lots. Gotta be a trench or poles somewhere!
Who has a home phone anymore. The cable (if any) and power most likely will be on power poles.
Guaranteed it'll be underground. Water will be from wells. Sewers will be septic.
He didn’t ask about water
Still in awe of the power of a mid-size excavator in the hands of a skilled operator. That tree @19:16 never stood a chance.
We got a Volvo 305 at work and it looks like it wouldn’t lift much but it’s actually impressive being a zero tailswing machine.
Nothing more fulfilling than teaching young people the correct way to do things.
I like watching the grader doing it’s thing Chris, it does an amazing job but it’s the skills of the operator too! I see you have a trainee on maintaining the equipment!

Where was Witt’s hard hat and safety vest? Hardly recognized him!
Love it when Aaron comes to visit his videos are always fun with you.
Does Aaron have a youtube channel?

As crazy as it might sound for some people, yours is a dream job for me. You do beautiful work too 👍🏻
I hope there is an operators union to train new kids the fine art of machine usage and engineering basics!
Bit of a variety today. Love how the road meanders through the trees rather than just straight. Take care & cheers😊
Being able to pitch and crown is a true art, this man has an amazing eye.😊
Your projects always look so clean when you are done. It's the attention to detail. Real pleasure to match someone of your caliber work. Thanks for sharing.
Over before it started; time flies when fun is being had I guess😉👍👍
hey Chris speaking as a trash hauler thank you for thinking of us guys
As I grew up, I always called the orange machine a road grader...when I worked for a construction company, it was called a motor patrol...now you are calling it a motor grader...hah hah! Love your videos whatever you call them.
Looks like money well spent in the grader!! Always enjoy those views!! Road looking good!!
Road design is beautiful. We'll planned! Thank u for video. God's blessings and be careful.
I get bored watching you take down trees but I can watch you level gravel with the grader all day long 😂
Looking awesome so far but good progress 👍😎🇺🇸NY
That thumb is a literal game changer. Being able to grab at any bucket angle. Good thinking fella!

Hey Chris you need one of those little ebike thingies so you don't need to walk back and forth between your jobs on the job. Who knows, if you like them you might just a fleet of them
More fun at the Bealy Good Farm. Are you training new help or encouraging them to choose a different line of work?
🎉🎉🎉
It’s 4:30, first load and grandma ……What????
That was a nice touch to think about the dumpster driver . 👍
Glad to see the interns. Training up the next generation.
He's a fellow youtuber. (not an intern).
Free day helper? I'm betting Dog Dog
Be careful about that “free help”, you get what you pay for, most of the time. 😂
Another great project!
Question, will all rock or dirt delivery drivers spread the load for you or do you have to arrange for it with the order? Are there some you prefer or does it matter?
Road really looks nice. Hope your apprentice works out.
A lot like weeding the garden, only different.
Nice work get riding of the tree and getting the road done
Have You Seen Your Names Lets Kvack 18.
could never figure out why trucks are loaded 15-20 minutes apart but they show up at the same time !!! lol
One stop sign sign or stop light in the middle...
One guy just pokes along, and the other guy just floors it. Always.
The roadmaster at work ...lovely job all round...stay safe
I don’t know why… but I really want to buy a motor grader…but it might be a little much just for driveways!
My dumpster truck comes with those fork lifts on the front and he scoops it up and dumps it over his head into his dump body and puts it back down in the same spot. Once a week at 3:15 a.m.
That was fun to watch❤❤❤
Being a retired heavy equipment mechanic for the state that did not look like a state job. State operators do not Lube equipment…
So is your uncle still doing excavation work or is he. In retirement mode
Chris, Apprentices are our best helpers when a trained correctly and support our professional skills!
Handy that the truck can lay the stone out for to be graded.
Apparently, not many of the commenters here know who Aaron Witt is, they might have caught the humor!
Forgot to say tember
The sound of the motor grader working gravel could put me to sleep. 😂
Your new truck and thunder trailer sure do make life easier. Slick!
Chris, pulling trees is just like pulling weeds, you have bigger weeds and a bigger tool. 😆
The theme of dry and dusty somehow continues at the Bealy good farm
I have to say....that is a really nice looking dump truck
Adding some humor to the end like it.
Coming along well bro. Safe travels. Ken.
At least you’re teaching him to clean the tip before putting the gun on it.
Hey hey hey, I resemble that state job comment Chris ! LOL
Giving that young man a hard time...lolol...When your in that kind of work , there ain't no clock !! You are done when when your done !! Or at least when you get to a good stopping point !!

So you’re saying you would’ve continued working and not go to your grandmother’s funeral?
Break in a new Man, Great experience working with you to build on.
That grading is excellent. Good to see the roadways being created. Thats skill.
Great job great video thanks Chris
This is one of a number of comments.
If & when you get a grader, I hope that you get a CAT 12 or a JD, similar so that you can really do some work with it.
Thank you Sir for your videos
What's wrong with the FA?
Anybody heard from logger wade?
It must be nice but I am happy for him 😅
Looks like Chris had a very productive day.
