🇮🇪☘️🇺🇸 you’re amazing Chris , your knowledge of the physics of how trees move / fall - which type do what - your patience- & my God your unflagging courage working with trees 70-80’ tall!!!!! Yep I do envy your absolute pure connection with your machines. Blessings!!! Be safe!!🙏🏼🌹
No waterlines or propane tanks were harmed in the making if this video. When intricate work has to be done, Chris is definitely the man you want on the job😊
The trees look good sized when you're felling them, but the excavator really hides their true size. I was blown away by that one tree (the rotten one) at how small you looked standing next to it. Great job at opening the ground up.
While he is looking sideways at something, he is narrating and moving 4 different hydaulic functions of the excavator simultanieously. He is part of the machine. Incredible.
I basically wrote almost the exact same thing and then deleted it after I saw your post! So it blew you away just as it blew me away that he does it without even thinking about it! Makes you wonder if he realizes that A; he’s doing all that B; that there are very few people that have that skill set to do that! I could go on and on!
Chris, your new machine looks brand new. It seems the dealer really cleaned it up nice for you. Plus it seems they did fit that big bucket on it. Nice.
@@flyingcland2267 I didn't say I did. I did see the new machine though as the trucker hauling it took several pictures of it as he headed south from the dealership in PA. Chris tagged the pics on his Instagram.
That stumper has more than paid for itself over the years. I used to get a little stressed when you would drop trees, but, you have a knack for being able to steer them anywhere you want them to go.
Watching everyday in anticipation of seeing the new excavator arrive. Can't wait for the first job with it. Chris is a legend. The operators on my current job site are not near as skilled, sloppily trenching for the solar field I'm piping and wiring.
Some would say sketchy but in the expertise of LetsDig18 these trees fell with precision. This takes years of learning and experience which he has in spades. Love the 'broom'.
Excellent job of digging the tree root system and tipping over and steering the trees down, that screams experience, it was a pleasure to watch sir, thanks for the update.
It’s Safe to Say that Safety is Always Front and Center with Everything you do and because of that, your Equipment stays in Top Notch Great Looking Condition. 👍🙏
Great old Rotten Trees to Remove! A light Task for You. You Work with all Your to Know by this to mean. The Chainsaw and the Excavator! In short Time all Trees to lay. You clean the Areal, however a Perfect Work. 💪👍👌 Greeting and Thanks for the Video.
This type of work is some of my favorite. Close quarters, precision tree felling, probably the ones you hate the most. It really shows your talents. Another difficult job well done. 👍Thanks for letting us tag along.
Nothing like a good log to clean up with !! lolol... Well. all that went good. I bet those trees was moving when the wind got up !! You just barely moved the dirt by that one and you could see that it moved very easy !! Bet the owner does feel better now that they are all on the ground !! Great as always Chris !! Have a Great Evening, And, On too the Next !!
Nice little afternoon episode of Chris finishing up taking down some house hazard trees. Sometimes he's a one man community safety hazard removal team. Next day a pond whisperer. Day after that busy dredging a golf course water hazard pond. Let's not forget his fun time which for most people wouldn't involve what they do for a living but Noooo, not Chris. He's on his farmstead doing more excavation work aloving it. Then the occasional trade show meet and greet. Busy man our Chris Letsdig18.
There are two things I'm looking forward to. First I want to see the new machine and I'm rooting for the Hyundai 😂... secondly I would like to see how your new dam on the farm is coming on.. great stuff...and Bealys place looks awesome ❤
I really don't think he bought any Excavator. I could be wrong. Neither of them had "thumbs". I am sure that adding a thumb and all the hydraulic/controls could be quite expensive. But, perhaps the plumbing and controls might already be on them? That sounds expensive. Time will tell.
While I'm still feeling froggy caught me by surprise and I had a good laugh about it, thanks. Too many times my froggy feeling became OMG, what did I just do situation, so froggy isn't so much a thing I'll try for very often. As always top drawer entertainment, Chris ATB.
Just a suggestion that may help, but keep the rpm and chain speed up near the top end speed as it cuts best/fastest then. Jamming it into the cut causes it to stop, and then isn't cutting wood. Just an observation. Another good video, and thanks for taking us along.
Yes sir it was good day the gas tank didn't explode did not spill no gas waterline didn't bust causing the flood and the house is still standing great job Chris... That was genius way of raking the limbs up I think I have seen you do this before in videos past and gone I enjoyed the video I enjoy watching stuff like this you keep making I'll keep watching have a great day great week
That's a large broom you got there. I was hoping to see the new machine by now. If I had you on my land. Near a pond you made. I'd have to go a little bigger so you could have some dirt!
Every time I watch trees getting taken down, I'm not able to resist thinking about my dad and the fantastic idea he had for taking a dead black cherry tree down. A little backstory for the cherry was it died sometime near about 1986 but it wasn't rotten anywhere. It was also about five feet across, and all it did was season up, dry out and get harder each year until finally. Around 1994, finally Dad gets the bug up his bum to break out a chainsaw that was older than I was. Had the saw been kept in better shape, it would have been so much easier. None the less, ten minutes of starting attempts later the saw catches and sluggishly revs up but it seems to want run wide open very well. Wedge out in two pieces because the bar wasn't long enough to get it in one. Meanwhile, my job had been climb the tree. The same dead tree that has been dead for nearly a decade at that point. The same one that is currently having a large wedge cut out of the base. Oh and I'm about seventy feet from the ground, no safety rope but I do have a tow rope from a river tug to loop around the top fork. Get the tow rope placed and just start to think about coming down. Wedge gets knocked out and a sudden gust of wind rocks this dead fall of a tree and three other oaks nearby. Like rocks them with force enough to get the tops moving a dozen or more feet in sway. Getting down I still only vaguely remember as fear and blur then on the ground. But I didn't fall or jump, just that it was eight years before I would even climb more than a foot from the ground. Tow rope is stretched tight, tree is flexed but not coming over. Ok, more chainsaw back cut... More cutting until the tree is entirely cut from the stump, but the tree is not horizontal yet. What it is doing is now leaning away from the wedge out towards the neighbors house and the neighbors that were on their back deck having a barbecue and watching the goings on. Quick work with a chain hoist starts to work until a link of the anchoring chain breaks at the weld. Another chain hoist from another neighbors' job finally pulled the dead cherry over. That's the thing I thought of when Chris was talking about the triple tree here.
lol. Previously everyone who saw his insta story said it was a Komatsu and had an all yellow back. 😂 I always thought it would be the Hyundai because of his buddy DP. I wouldn't be surprised if Hyundai sweetened the deal as they did for Mike. Volvo F'd up big league.
Just saw the message from the driver posted from a rest area in Maryland. He said was waiting on permits. That new machine should be at Beale's by now unless there was a problem.
@@crypticchris8812The driver took pictures of the Hyundai HX 330 loaded on his flatbed at the dealer where Chris and Kyle checked them out. It's NealEquipment in Ephrata, PA. He took another picture of the rig in Maryland as well. I don't know him, I just saw the pics he posted on Instagram. Chris tagged some of the pics to his own account as well.
Taking down trees, no big deal. Taking down learners, a little more difficult. Taking down learners over the machine, near a house, beside a building, next to an LP tank and beside a pond, just an easy day for Letsdig18!
That was disappointing no big BOOOOOOOOOM or water fountain, lol. Oh well it was still a good video bro and a nice bit of tree wrangling too. Safe travels. Ken.
Be careful Chris, that’s some biggies brother! Awesome job!!!!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Heck yeah!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 I don’t know why I’m getting so excited because this was over three hours ago! lol 😂😂😂GREAT JOB, when you’re good you’re good Chris! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I’ve been waiting for you to say heck with a chainsaw! Those gum trees should burn quick, once you get a fire going! Like I said, when you’re good you’re good Chris! Man, that one was kinda sketchy!🥵 lol 😂 Last one was actually ok, it’s that one right before though that double! It was fighting you! lol. No stone for a stepper Chris! lol 😂 Nobody does it better than Letsdig18 (Chris)!!!!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 I remember way back when I first saw you using a log to level the mud with, awesome! Thanks for sharing Chris! Kirk from Louisiana, sending prayers and good vibes to you and your family! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👌🏻👌🏻👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
I am so anxious to see whether you purchased the 330 or 350... Please please tell us I can't wait. My dibbs are on the Hyundai 330 with the bigger bucket. however either will be a pleasure to watch initially on the Bealy Good house excavation as its first use.

The amount of finesse you show taking down those difficult trees was amazing. Great to watch. Looking forward to seeing your new big excavator coming.
Just imagine what he could do as a helicopter pilot.
I am always impressed when you use the Log Broom! Great job!
Sooo SMART!!! BIG TOYS FOR BIG BOYS 😅, Enjoy &Much fun!!!❤ Let's Dig 18, THANK'S AGAIN!!!!😊

Some of it is camera perspective... and some is how big his equipment is makes the trees seem small.
always love seeing you use the ol' log scraper to slick things up. It's been awhile since mother nature implements have used!
So last one, a building , a propane tank, a water line. NO PROBLEM. Chris has it sorted.🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
While he is looking sideways at something, he is narrating and moving 4 different hydaulic functions of the excavator simultanieously. He is part of the machine. Incredible.

I think it came in today. So maybe tomorrow or Thursday?

That stump sheer is definitely the cats meow! I could've used that on quite a few occasions for tight digging areas.
Dangerous tree removals, well done. Really opened up property, beautiful area. Thank u for video. God's blessings.

Hello Chris Can't wait to see the new machine👍
No need to wait any longer, there are several pictures of it on his Instagram account as well as from the driver hauling it to Beale's farm.
@@snappingbear Do you have a link?

Great watching you remove the broken stump. It’s a bit like watching a dentist remove a rotten tooth. 😂😂😂😂😂👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Love the "old Broom trick" Chris!!! Can't wait to see the new machine!!!
Chris, you sir are a surgeon when it comes to taking down trees!
Nice little afternoon episode of Chris finishing up taking down some house hazard trees.
Sometimes he's a one man community safety hazard removal team.

Day after that busy dredging a golf course water hazard pond.
Let's not forget his fun time which for most people wouldn't involve what they do for a living but Noooo, not Chris.
He's on his farmstead doing more excavation work aloving it.
Then the occasional trade show meet and greet.
Busy man our Chris Letsdig18.
Nice to have a good day once in a while. Love it when a plan comes together.
Your timber is a superpower, you took out the camera as well as the tree. :) Thank you and have a great day.
Chris, you are so resourceful. No rake or dozer to pile the leftovers up so you just grab a log...lol. You amaze me sometimes!
There are two things I'm looking forward to. First I want to see the new machine and I'm rooting for the Hyundai 😂... secondly I would like to see how your new dam on the farm is coming on.. great stuff...and Bealys place looks awesome ❤

Nice work, Chris. Had me chuckling when the gum tree/water line one fell😂
I liked that they provided that nice looking new Ram(?) as a target!
That is a very Paul Bunion-esk broom you had there!
Looks like the scam bots have created another fake account!!!!
I hope you’re staying hydrated Chris, heat index here in Louisiana is 114 degrees brother! Stay cool my friend!
Great job Chris. I’ll be honest I was a little nervous on that trio group. But no match for you.👍👍

looks like you had a couple of tricky ones!
"Log Broom" I really liked that. You might have to try that again on another job.
My goodness that is an immaculately beautiful piece of land.
Thats the big difficult trees down...Another good video Chris...Stay safe
For a fill in job that was a highly productive day. Nice job sir. Be well.😉

That’s funny! I remember when “the old 220” was the new 220!
That excavator must be your favorite rocking chair 😊
Chris always has great ideas
You make it look so easy!👍👍 is there not a need for firewood or milling? Seems like alot of useful wood just burnt up.
Pretty ingenious using log for a broom or rake,..
Have no fear when Letsdig18 is here!
Double Timber! Camera and Tree!

Thanks for letting us feel like a tree when it falls. 😂
is this lot one that you started working on 4 years ago? cleaning the pond and pad for the house? if so this customer has kept you busy.
He been operating years and years now he is a master operator
Very nice job brother,peace…
I went timber that was perfect timing Chris haha
