My sons and I have been watching your videos for years. We do a lot of heavy equipment work in the oilfield. But still love watching your videos after a long days work. I have learned a lot about dirt work just watching your channel. Keep up the great work man!
@@fartzinacan neither here nor there. Its still cool to see him in a walk through with who is paying his wage that job if its an employee or John Q. Public.
He got that Right !! Chris will fix it...... Looks Great Chris !! As always Man, love the Pride you have in your work, that's how you get a good name, and you have it !! You give a 150 % on every job you do , and it shows !! Have a Great Evening Man !! On too the Next..
I was worried you were gona plough through that row of new trees 🌲 great footage Chris , dry as hell there now , here in 🇬🇧 UK it’s the wettest may on record .
@@toddreynolds8875 He probably saved some money as he will most likely be able to use his equipment for future use, and has the satisfaction of doing the work himself. That being said, he probably called the pros in at the right point, when the job exceeded his capabilities.
Man,I felt I was on the dozer myself! I got a lot of dust in my nose! Great job Chris! I still think you should take more jabs at Tater,he sure does take a lot of jabs at you!😂🤣
I'm just totally amazed with your work. You make everything look soooo easy. Is there a piece of equipment you can't run. I've been watching your videos and have learned so much, your truly are an artist!!! Keep up with the vids. Enjoy watching them
You got her looking good Chris, baby is a smooth as a babies butt, lol. Another great video man you and your family and John and his family stay safe keep the videos coming brother. Hey we’ve been missing out on a couple days you must’ve took some time off but you well deserve it
The rake on that dozer is Working great man.it did a nice job in that House site.looks good.luckily it didnt rain on that day otherwise it would have been a sticky muddy ground To work on. Nice video Chris 😀
To the land owner.. Plenty of us have voiced our opinions on the 0% interest thing but what is important is that YOU MADE IT HAPPEN! I love the fact you have your family with you and you and are making awesome moves. The property looks great and I like the evergreens you put in and you had the good sense to put in hydrants in to put water on them. If you have a RUclips channel post it up and I’ll follow. Congrats to you and your family.
The tracks on your dozer have a distinct sound. It would be hard to mistake it for a CAT, Deere, or another brand. When your going forward it sounds like a locomotive with the tracks and engine together. When you're backing up, it's all track sound.
@@memyselfandifarmer LOL! Dealers don't like people who think they are entitle to a discount for "paying cash". Paying cash doesn't change anything. The only time it would matter is if you are talking about a crooked dealer who is cooking the books. (They exist; I worked as an inventory auditor for a few years.)
So, here I am in my dozer, scared to scrape too much dirt because I don't want to clear all the topsoil. Meanwhile, Chris is making huge mounds of dirt. I'm now going to get a rake attachment, and after raking, I'm thin scraping the top like Chris. I'm not afraid anymore. 😆😆
June 10, 2021 seeing this video Chris and it’s really dry there but I’m willing to share all the rain we have been getting here in central Mississippi and it looks great there with all your hard work completed congratulations on a job well done
" Chris will fix it ". A true statement. I've yet to see a project you haven't fixed yet. When is the dredging job where the excavator was buried gonna start?
Just curious but there seems to be a lot of multigenerational properties in that area just based on the type of projects we have seen. Parents house will go there, kids house over there, etc. Is that common in the Carolinas? Up in PA I don’t hear of it much but perhaps I am just out of the loop. edit: to clarify multigenerational proprieties with different houses, I am accustomed to seeing multiple generation in a single house.
Cool shot of the dozer coming over the rise to the camera. You got rid of the squeak, what did you do. :) Is this the long drive way with the pond in back that you did last year?
Some people who have not done the job always think they can "do it better". Until they try it; it takes years to learn how to do somethings. Flipping burgers is easy once you know what to do and how to do it. Till then, you will have a mess.
In this case, Chris was called in before a mess was made. Very wise of the homeowner. I have a small Case tractor and it takes a lot of time to develop the experience so you know what you are doing. Hiring a pro to do some of the work is almost always worth the time and the money.
Good to see the rake-blade in action maate..an X bully op. HD 21 Allis Chalmer dozer .. forestry mahi, clearing region's after harvest logging,.wind-rowing n fire-breaks..fond memories after watching your videos.. kaapai presente e hoa ✌️ 🦾 tutorial/ interesting.. relaxing with-a-coldie!?!Tino pai.. awesome 🤙✌️thnx👍😎
Theres a lot of time between some of the clips. Im amased at how swiftly you find your next job each time. It must come from a self earned reputation in your area.
Go back 3 or 4 months of 18's vids check out what rain fall looks like think he said they were wet for 5 months in NC.in the south we've been dry for almost a month.
with the title, you missed a great opportunity to do a Cris fix opening.. Hi guys it's Chris fix and today I will show you how to fix this lot full of sticks.
Hay Chris i have the peeling that you in the moment to you on a machine seat her to turn one the same. What work you make you and the machine turn one. The feeling i have when I drive with a care. Your grading very good and this check you to eye. Greeting to Vienna
Great vid ! I didn't notice your machine had a swing blade , cool ! Are you grading for drainage or to get it flat ? come up here to New Hampshire . We have rocks the size of suv's ! We call them New Hampshire potatoes , lol
Your dozer’s tracks sound different than your uncles’s machine. Is it a matter of age and hours or does your machine have a different style of under carriage?
In a situation like this with the land already being so flat, I am curious if you considered using a tractor with landscape rake and box leveler. That dozer can push/pull with far more power than most tractors near it's footprint, but is all that power really needed when the land is so flat? That said I am NOT a dozer operator, just curious, not criticizing.
Too bad you can’t get a job like this once a week,owner says I’ve done all the hard work,just need you to clean after me.here’s the check.keep on dreaming.😎😎😎👍👍👍
nice job by owner .But 99 cent question is how long did it take him and much was final cost in rental -fuel and other labor .Other then taking bid and hiring Prof experience's personal ?
@@letsdig18 saw this framer on youtube this why estimating job .He .telling this way for people thinking renting equipment to work on their property . .what looks as at best 2 day job 1 he rented about same size dozer you have $ 4,450 for 1 month rental he used for 30 hours in that one month used 45 gallons fuel about $150 bucks .. in those 30 hours he got dozer stuck 4 times in low land his properties and looks like he made one hell of swamp jobs ..by running dozer over and over in same places and dozer stuck and digging out he draw lot water up from ground that part property point is i tell home owner ..from decks to their DYI jobs they would found they would save lot more money by just hiring Prof personals i don't waste my time with single house construction ..only commercial projects .no money and i hate million question home owners keep asking
Do you think there is a market for a something like a pan scraper that has a leading pickup like a root rake / rock picker, followed by a pulverized / blending stage that mixes the pulverized material with soil and then redepodits it as desired?
Well that is as nice as pie! What do you do when instead of roots you get rocks, and every 16 or 20 feet they get wadded up between the rake teeth, so you have to beat them out with a sledgehammer? Asking for a friend who can’t afford a Seppi or FAE stone crusher.
500,000 subs because this guy doesn't throw affiliates down your throat or ask you to "like and subscribe!" Great work.
I try to keep it real like I did from day one
@@letsdig18
👍👏
I wonder what the stats are like in terms of viewer and sub retention 🤔 hopefully pretty good.
He doesn't need to. He puts out good video that speak for themselves.
I have to say Chris, that's one of your most abruptly ended videos I've seen! Haha
My sons and I have been watching your videos for years. We do a lot of heavy equipment work in the oilfield. But still love watching your videos after a long days work. I have learned a lot about dirt work just watching your channel. Keep up the great work man!
The Rake is Overqualified and does a Fantastic job cleaning up the tree roots. Beautiful Result. 👍
It's great seeing you interacting with clients - puts a face to the project.
Isn't he one of the truck drivers?
@@fartzinacan neither here nor there. Its still cool to see him in a walk through with who is paying his wage that job if its an employee or John Q. Public.
@@muddawgkomm9642 it's not a critique of who the client is. He looks like one of the truck drivers from other videos.
Probably easier to do with his side job clients.
Good to see the owner planting a line of new trees
Man, that dozer with the treeline behind it...like it was meant to be!
He got that Right !! Chris will fix it...... Looks Great Chris !! As always Man, love the Pride you have in your work, that's how you get a good name, and you have it !! You give a 150 % on every job you do , and it shows !! Have a Great Evening Man !! On too the Next..
Nice little Sunday project. Always nervous when owner does the work but he did a nice job removing stumps.
What kind of asshole would thumbs down a construction video? One of the most transparent u-tubers out here, no click-bait!
Gotta appreciate it when someone knows enough about what they're doing to know what they can't do, and when to call in a professional.
I was worried you were gona plough through that row of new trees 🌲 great footage Chris , dry as hell there now , here in 🇬🇧 UK it’s the wettest may on record .
Believe Chris has more sense than a tree stump to do that.. .. .. ..
The lot looks really good and ready for your client.
Looks like he did a great job for what he had to work with!
I thought so too. Good looking job for a home owner

Wow Chris what a beautiful job 💪🏿💪🏿💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
As easy as it looked there is skill and the right machine behind it too. Safe travels
You got her looking good Chris, baby is a smooth as a babies butt, lol. Another great video man you and your family and John and his family stay safe keep the videos coming brother. Hey we’ve been missing out on a couple days you must’ve took some time off but you well deserve it
Hey Chris dozer needs LD18 decals to
Yes indeed it does, got to take care of the dozer to with the decals. Lol
And the skidsteer, backhoe loader, grader, farm tractor, and truck. Maybe the trailer too.
Hey Chris you look good out there working your fingers to the bone. I love that machine you’re working with
The rake on that dozer is Working great man.it did a nice job in that House site.looks good.luckily it didnt rain on that day otherwise it would have been a sticky muddy ground To work on. Nice video Chris 😀
Gotta be happy with that if you're the customer. Great work. Custom rooter pays for itself again. Top content mate.
hey mr. chris! that contraption you are running looks like something i would love to learn to operate. thank you for uploading this. please stay safe!
Love the sound of the tracks!

I LOVE THE DOZER...I CALL IT THE BEAST....fantastic job as always...
Looks great! Love that little dozer
great job buddy and great video as always 😎👊🏻👍🏻 love the camera angle on the dozer blade
Kubota having zero % finance won’t change DP’s mind
0% means they sold the item for a lot more then the average price. the do not loose money. ex- 0% at 50,000. cash price 42,000.
Equipment is pretty much the same as pickups. People have their brand preferences or dislikes and that's that. Not much will change many of them.

@@fredygump5578 yeah if anything dealers dont want cash, means less profit
@@fredygump5578 It actually does change things. Cash price is cheaper than the 0% price.
Most interesting to watch the rake work with the camera mounted on top of the blade. Good idea. Blessings.
Only thing better than watchin’ a dozer operatin’… is operatin’ a dozer. God blesss Chris and his family.

Amazing job once again. I can tell you really do care about what you do.
At 14.10 I thought you'd fallen asleep at the controls! - looked like you were heading off the reservation for a minute there...

nice vidio my friend,, Chris Will Fix It Root Raking And Grading.
i like,,
Enjoy your videos, The wife stopped by from noise out of curiosity, she had to watch for about 15 minutes before she had enough of pond digging.
" Chris will fix it ". A true statement. I've yet to see a project you haven't fixed yet. When is the dredging job where the excavator was buried gonna start?
they managed to get it done or got someone else
@@letsdig18 that was gonna be a dandy. I'm sure they'll sink another excavator soon.
Thanks Chris for always delivering quality videos
Now when are you gonna start selling those LD18 stickers
Trying to support the youtube family👍
Just curious but there seems to be a lot of multigenerational properties in that area just based on the type of projects we have seen. Parents house will go there, kids house over there, etc. Is that common in the Carolinas? Up in PA I don’t hear of it much but perhaps I am just out of the loop. edit: to clarify multigenerational proprieties with different houses, I am accustomed to seeing multiple generation in a single house.
In the south we kick their ass out at 19.
Looks really good and are there any scratches on the Dozer yet since you bought it Chris
That black cap behind the exhaust pipe is the perfect place for a small letsdig18 sticker.
Useing the right tool for the job...makes for a better end product! Well done good sir...well done!
Cool shot of the dozer coming over the rise to the camera. You got rid of the squeak, what did you do. :) Is this the long drive way with the pond in back that you did last year?
I like to think dislikes are the people who say they can do as good a job, but really can't.
Some people who have not done the job always think they can "do it better". Until they try it; it takes years to learn how to do somethings. Flipping burgers is easy once you know what to do and how to do it. Till then, you will have a mess.
That’s a nice little dozer you have there and you certainly know how to operate it, 👍
Chris always fixes the messes his or ones left behind by others.
In this case, Chris was called in before a mess was made. Very wise of the homeowner. I have a small Case tractor and it takes a lot of time to develop the experience so you know what you are doing. Hiring a pro to do some of the work is almost always worth the time and the money.
Amazing work Chris.
Beautiful result!
LETS DIG 18 ON THE SCENE
Very nice,that take is pretty slick
You know there was nothing better after a sh*try day than to come home and enjoy the tranquility of this.
Chris, you really understand to entertain us by all the different camera perspectives.
Sure does look nice smooth and level!
That root rake does a very good job. Of course the operator of the dozer makes it a professional job.
All I can see is a big 8pt walking out in that lot or a big old strutter 👍. Nice work well done !!!
So, when are you getting the D10, 950 Volvo and 620 wheel loader? Mo power, mo power! 😆🤣
dont forget an A60 haul truck!
😆🤣 Have to change the name from LetsDig to SureICanTunnelToHawaiiFromHere.
Probably as soon as the old dude gets a pusher axle on his W-9 along with a jeep, bigger lowboy, and a tandem axle booster.

Did you add some gussets to the rake? Looks different than I remember !
HELLO from las Vegas Nevada, thank you for the video, GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY.
Great Rake and leveling Video. YT really hammered this video for commercials. I hope Chris collects his share on them....lol.
Nope. RUclipss new terms of service says that they can put as many ads on videos as they like. Get an adblocker, chris isnt seeing any of that money.
Agree with Mephison, get an ad blocker.
when you need it flat, call Chris out!
When in doubt, call Chris out!
Excellent job Chris
Awesome job Chris! Thanks for sharing.
Theres a lot of time between some of the clips. Im amased at how swiftly you find your next job each time. It must come from a self earned reputation in your area.
He mentioned that he had several months of work lined up for the side gig not to mention the full time job.
You have all the cool attachments chris, that rake saves you buying another specialty bucket or blade
Everything looks nice!!
Does it ever not rain in your neck of the woods? Much harder to do many types of construction in rain or wet conditions. Great job.

It would be nice to see what a soil pulverizer would do to that after you got it leveled good job Chris but man it's dusty and dry
Got my letsdig18 fix... see u tomorrow
What advanced planing getting the root rake. : )
Likes all the dozer working out..
Always wondered how they were able to grade so smooth, when the area was anything but smooth!
Do a camera inside the cab of the dozer

Great job Chris.
Harley rake it and be done
How do you know when your blade is level? Is it by eye or is there a gage you use?
Eye
With all the computer technology out there it's super cool that you rely on your instincts and eye to grade.

You may not see this but…
I think a soil conditioner would cover that use. You’d just have to follow up with a sheep foot.
Cant believe it is so dry. I am coughing just watching.
We had over 1 inch of rain today in North Texas raining for 2 weeks straight.
I'm in New Mexico and we haven't had more than 1/8" of rain since last year. No monsoon. Extreme draught for the entire state.
Ah, that's no challenge for that dozer. You can do this by hand with some cheap workers or prisoners. 😄
Funny that bro 🤣🤣🤣
SALUDOS CHRIS ANOTHER GREAT VIDEO AS ALWAYS.
Well that is as nice as pie! What do you do when instead of roots you get rocks, and every 16 or 20 feet they get wadded up between the rake teeth, so you have to beat them out with a sledgehammer? Asking for a friend who can’t afford a Seppi or FAE stone crusher.
It looks like that bulldozer was worth the trip up here to eastern Pennsylvania.
Sorry to to keep on about it, but why didn’t you use the GRADER? It’s got the ripper in front for the roots, and a blade to do the rest!
New channel? Chris fixes it!
