Teardrop shape really evident when water is in the pond - really looks nice! I wish the other 500K'ish subscribers were watching - - they're missing out!
Love the Ruckus Rake and the awesome finish it gives, sorry it broke. This pond is everything you said it would be, lovely shape, perfect setting, calm & peaceful. Thanks for sharing your home with us all.
The bracket that broke on the rake looks poorly designed. Welding will hold it for awhile but the manufacturer should send out heavy duty replacements.
@@nandi123 That web looked way too thin for the punishment that section would take. Some extra angled plates over the left and right or the pivot would not be amiss once the original weld is reattached.
You know Chris, I think operating equipment is your way of relaxing and like other people might play video games, after operating equipment for customers. In fact, I can see you in the kitchen with a Micro Mini Excavator cracking eggs with the bucket, and using the thumb and bucket to turn the steaks or bacon. Pond is looking really nice. Can't wait to see it full and the grass on the dam. Thanks for sharing.
well dang I'm not the only one with equipment issue this weekend.. That was a good job breaking the power rake.. never seen one brake like that.... Professionaly done.. lol
Hey Chris I gotta say thank you. You work so hard and put all this out daily. Your channel is 1 of 2 that I love to watch. Thank you for everything you do
You're getting the hang of maximizing the power band on that 953 and not killing it down too far. Got to ease back on the stick and let it catch up...feel the power coming in then. Nothing like seat time for learning the peculiarities of different equipment.
With the fleet of equipment that you have, and a plan in place, there is no way I see that something can’t be done, got to love it. With the Taco and the power rake breaking down, it does slow you down, but the bright side of it, if you will, is that it happened on your project on your property. Really nice looking project young man, thanks for the update.
He does doesn't he?! I've been working on mine and can get going again since stuff has dried out . . again. When it doesn't go right I just think "What would Chris do here?"
Nice work on the pond and fish habitat Chris. You should consider adding pea gravel for bluegill spawning habitat. Around the dock and the shallow areas (1-3 ft deep) at the head of the pond would be ideal.
At first, I couldn't really see the pond dam but as the work progressed I could see it all. Thing is you have surpassed what I could see!! Job well done Chris. PS: Don't forget to extend the pipe!!
Hi Chris. It is very nice. I imagine it being nice and relaxing, for the most part, to be able to do that on your own property. Happy for you. God bless you! Ed from Chicago 🙂
shaped up nicely Chris, hope you get some nice storms to fill it up and get the grass growing in that beautiful topsoil.. don't forget your ladder from when you jumped the electric fence, I spotted it a couple of times in your videos having a lay down 😄
Another pond done and dusted. Looks great. Bummer on your rake. Maybe it will fill before summer and you can take and afternoon or two and enjoy the water and a cold drink. Thanks Chris.
Proud of how u handled all the breakdowns. The pond looks beautiful, as always! Fish habitat will bless many to enjoy n future. Meticulous work as usual. Thank u for video! God's blessings and be careful.
After following you for some time now I believe there are two items missing in your equipment inventory for you to be a modern earth moving company. The first is a donkey cart with extra wide tires and second is a big mule. Then when you can't work with the heavys because of the mud you could put snowshoes on the mule and, mud, what mud. Great job on the pond. Thanks for allowing us to follow along. TV
Chris I can say, You have the Farm Pond nevertheless Finish : the home for the Fish is in the Pond, the Native Soil of the Dam angry, okay the last Perfection Work is more to make. You have in short Time a wonderful Pond to build. Videos to profane, with all the Best possible and all breakdowns. Thanks for this all to see. 💪👌👍🤗
I be damn !! Can you believe that the whole damn ruckus rake broke clean off !! Believe I'd be taking a few pics, and send to the ruckus rake dealer, I could see may be a weld cracking but, a total fail in the weld !! Oh Hell No !! You spend way to much money on your machines and attachments for that mess to be happening... Well, after all that, The pond has turned out really nice !! Really going to look good , once the grass comes in around it, real nice !! Well, Chris, Hate that all that mess happened to the skid steer , and rake but, like you say, " It is what it is"" lolol... just have to get them fixed and move on !! Never ends , does it man !! lolol... Well, hope you have a Great upcoming week Chris !! Great as always, Have a Great evening, and , On too the Next !! Just waiting for round 3 of more Thunder Storms to move back in here this evening...lololol.... Drowning here in W. Ky....lololol...
Topsoil! We tried a bag of topsoil from Lowes a few years ago to see what they called topsoil. It wasn't soil, it was engineered failure. The make up was sand and mulch, which couldn't grow anything. It took 5 years for the "topsoil" to erode away. That bag appeared to be so easy, but it was a rip off.
Your property there has plenty of red clay available, like it was meant to have a clay bottom pond there. Great job, it's always a pleasure seeing the outcome of your projects. Holy busted ruckus.
Beautiful pond Chris, man ya got some carnage happening, ahh your have that on these big jobs, fixer er up an weld it an get back to it, thanks for sharing an I look forward to seeing the next video 💪🇺🇲🤙✊👌
Time for a high flow skid steer is what the issue is. lol Puts the tilt bucket into size perspective when you can fill it with the backhoe front bucket and barley spill any.
Although Mr. Bealy Good did compliment you on your overflow calculation for the drain, I think you need to explain water levels to him. Like the difference between normal & storm surge so his poor dock doesn't become a raft. It did make the water wheel chair accessable though!
Good top soil from the hay field road. The rake seems to be deficient in strength in that swivel joint - also does that pin have a grease fitting?, if it bound up that could cause the rip apart.

Going to be awesome . You should throw a load of pea gravel or 78M in in that shallow area for fish spawning areas .
Poor lil Skid Steer…sure took a hit! But did that stop Chris? Nope! Looks great! 👍👏👏👏👍
Teardrop shape really evident when water is in the pond - really looks nice!
I wish the other 500K'ish subscribers were watching - - they're missing out!
Imagine loving your work so much, you do it in your spare time. Nice work, Chris!

@@nandi123 Agreed, AMI upgraded the rake for Mike Simon (aka Dirt Perfect) after he had problems, they need to send the upgraded one to Chris as well.
@@nandi123 That web looked way too thin for the punishment that section would take. Some extra angled plates over the left and right or the pivot would not be amiss once the original weld is reattached.
@@michaelsmith7425 My thoughts exactly.
@@snappingbear I bet they will given the relationship they have with Chris.
Beautifully done! once it fills up its going to look fantastic!

Ready to see this one full and grass growing on the dam 👍🏼. A pond to be envious of
Hey Chris I gotta say thank you. You work so hard and put all this out daily. Your channel is 1 of 2 that I love to watch. Thank you for everything you do
Chris is the Picasso of ponds.😁
I like it 👍🏼. I see cool hats and shirts coming…

Looks nice will look great full of water and green grass
Super nice pond and setting, beautiful trees, best spot on the farm.
Congrats Chris, you’ve done a wonderful job & it will be a lovely pond. Bad luck about the Ruckus Rake, it leaves a great finish.😊
Nice pond ,, everything looks so peaceful at your place.
Great video,few hiccups.but what else is new.part of life.just keep on doing your thing and carry on.👍👍👍😎😎😎
Nice job Chris. The pond one day will be the beginning of many years of pleasure to you with a big benefit to the fish and wildlife habitat to come.
The teardrop is looking awesome ❤❤❤
You're getting the hang of maximizing the power band on that 953 and not killing it down too far. Got to ease back on the stick and let it catch up...feel the power coming in then. Nothing like seat time for learning the peculiarities of different equipment.
Looks great, could use a couple areas in the shallow end with fabric and pea gravel for bluegill nests. Great work as always!

Just thinking about cost of all that equipment must be a lot of money
Tight up in it but Chris takes good care of all of it
Another great looking pond. Can't wait to see this full of water. Thanks for bringing us along.
Great job !👏 The roller is top notch for finishing for a lawn. All that's missing is water and a barbecue 😄
Don't forget the fish. But keeping fish in these ponds with hurricane floods will be interesting.
@@JDL_2020 I've never noticed a problem with that.
Wow Chris, you have some awesome yard machines😅
Looks like that top soil pile already has some decent seed in it !! Final grading looks good!! Gotta love the DEF sensors!!
That pond is nice! Beautiful job, Chris.
Hi Chris the pond looks amazing, you do some high quality work my friend.
Great looking pond Chris.
Looks fabulous, Chris! 👊👊👍👍
Damn, you make grading look so simple.👍👍👏🏻👏🏻
He does doesn't he?! I've been working on mine and can get going again since stuff has dried out . . again. When it doesn't go right I just think "What would Chris do here?"
Love when a hard working man manages to work on his own stuff.
Must be Saturday or Sunday, flip flops and shorts dress code for the day. Chris thanks for sharing the finished pond.
Best thing about working on your own property, no dress codes to follow. 😋
Great video 👍 👍 Thx for everything Chris.
Yeah that pawn turned out real nice so be nice to see it when it's full. Good job. 👍👍🙂🇨🇦
Nice work on the pond and fish habitat Chris. You should consider adding pea gravel for bluegill spawning habitat. Around the dock and the shallow areas (1-3 ft deep) at the head of the pond would be ideal.

Nicely done sir Chris. 😊
I believe you could spread icing on a cake with the 220 😆Nice work!
Its great to see the eye you have to build ponds before you even start on one and how good they look when you or done with them
@30:10 Ok, that's really bad! Sorry for that. 😬
" A bit jerky till it warms up ." Your machinery is taking on your traits . Have a good one Chris .
nice job you are the pond king.

Cute little pond

Awesome job!!
So sorry about your equipment breaking down, but it won't break your vision. You'll get the pond done and it will look great!!
Pond is looking awesome Chris.
Nice outcome.
Great job buddy 👍🏻 sorry about your break downs
I like it, nice job Chris
The pond is looking great. When you were using the ruckus rake at the edge of the pond it kinda felt like a roller coaster ride. 😊
Looks Great nice job
Looks great Chris!😊
Looks good and so does your hay field.
Man, that rake really is satisfying to watch. The results are amazing.
You’re getting all this rain and it hasn’t rained here in months, just a few shower here and there. Send some rain to us lol
Pond is looking great!
The pond is beautiful, tough day for repairs. Well done sir.
Thanks Chris, needed to see someone got something done today...lol Cheers mate!

Great poñd Chris will look good when full cheers mate
That dam ure was packed great. It hardly left any marks. Great job.

Man that's going to be pretty once everything is growing and its full
The pond master strikes again from a blank canvas to another master piece just wondering what his vision is for the two farms can't wait to see 😊😊😊
Great to be included in ALL the action.
Another beautiful pond. But this one is special…it’s yours!!!
Plant they can cause problems at times just when u want to Finnish your wonderful pond of its looking stunning Chris like your bud dirt perfect bud 👍
Your pond is looking good sir. 👍

That was some very nice looking topsoil.
Good job on the pond!
My 2018 Takeuchi TL10v2 doesn't have DEF but, it take 15-20 to regenerate's and I hate waiting so here I wait, ;)
Outstanding. Most impressed by your visions of what a site can become❤❤❤❤

Pond Is looking good
that rake does an amazing job.
Gosh this pond is looking good. Quite a bit done before the skid steer eventually called it a day though.
Made for a great video appart from the rake and skidsteer bro. Will look cool with a small dock and all the grass grown. Safe travels
Beautiful pond Chris, man ya got some carnage happening, ahh your have that on these big jobs, fixer er up an weld it an get back to it, thanks for sharing an I look forward to seeing the next video 💪🇺🇲🤙✊👌
Time for a high flow skid steer is what the issue is. lol
Puts the tilt bucket into size perspective when you can fill it with the backhoe front bucket and barley spill any.
You know the pile of top soil is good to grow stuff if it already grows stuff in a short time! :D
Looking good Chris
Although Mr. Bealy Good did compliment you on your overflow calculation for the drain, I think you need to explain water levels to him. Like the difference between normal & storm surge so his poor dock doesn't become a raft. It did make the water wheel chair accessable though!
Looking fine.
Better at home than away!
Good top soil from the hay field road. The rake seems to be deficient in strength in that swivel joint - also does that pin have a grease fitting?, if it bound up that could cause the rip apart.
