Thats gonna make a heck of a good pond site. Raise the dam for more water. Looks like plenty of dirt to be had in those side areas. Give the fish and cows a bigger swimming pool........
I have had guys working for me with machinery that make this excavator operator look like a beginner. My guy would have dug that oak tree and walked it over and replanted it. When a guy knows what he is doing with an excavator it is amazing.
I wanted to run a road grader when I was a kid I am not sure they make them anymore, they were long and the front wheels tilted during a turn. I like your videos.
Did you go to any formal school as to how to install a pond and dam? Your expertise and knowledge of altering land (for lack off a better term) is very impressive. I'm thinking you learned how to do all of this from your grandfather and your uncle. I do know if I wanted too build a pond on my land, I would definitely want you to do it. Thanks for another interesting video....
Got an idea you have thought of already or many have commented before me, to solve the rocking chair motion and help hold your trackhoe in place working in mud, either install a blade or buy an excavator with a blade. Volvo has to have thought about that already!
Ever thought of rototilt? Like engcon or rotator etc. Would help a lot in your works. In skandinavia, mostly in europe too, we do have a lot of those in use. In these days those are more like a standard equipments.
How many snakes have you ran across this summer. I killed a huge canebreak rattlesnake in the driveway way today it would have hurt ya! Also, what's the latest on the project where the pipes were 30 feet in the ground ?
AND IN THIS VIDEO LETS DIG 18 IS PLAYING ON A SLIP N SLIDE WITH HIS VOLVO 150 .ONLY THING MISSING WAS THE SONG SLIP SLIDING AWAY .LOL GREAT VIDEO AS USUAL TKS
Chris, when you're pointing at something out of the shovel do you make the movements for the controls for a few seconds before realizing you're not in the cab?
In 99% of your video's a tree supposedly needs to come down. Maybe you should switch to logging Chris. js. Also, considering all the trees that you do take down, maybe use your chainsaw more often. I know you will say the excavator is quicker, but not in the case of this video. push them down and cut them up for logs for planks of fireplace wood.
I really have to ask, why when you have beautiful long straight trees, like red oak, don't you just limb them and send them to a miil for lumber instead of breaking them all up in pieces?? A red oak 1x8x8 is 68.00.
Brian Gardiner I know this but I wanna know what certifications and permits you have to have first and I wouldn’t mind doing stuff for him and helping with small stuff first
You can go to equipment operating school on your own, you can become an apprentice through the IUOE and let them train you, have the military train you, or you can find a company that will take a chance on you. Formal training of sort will get you farther faster but you be low man on the pole regardless.

“Slickery”... a touch more than slick but not quite slippery
Always interesting to see how these projects unfold.

#2 finally got the watch nice job Chris!
The only RUclipsr who explains his next job by pointing it out with a digger bucket.

its a treat to see the 250 working . very capable lady .
Thanks for the 4in1 vids on the "Bob cat" my pinch up game is getting better.
I love the 250, she’s one hell of a big girl! She can demo some big stuff! lol

Great video as always, dont forget the pressure washer and smelly soap for when you get done with that job after moving all that manure rich dirt lol
Wow, That looks just like the pond you did a month or two ago that was down in the valley way back off the road.

love your vids, just wish they was longer.
I was thinking the same. Anything under 30 minutes flies by.. 🇬🇧
I enjoy all your videos
You look a little tired in this video my friend get some rest this weekend nice job today 😎👍👍
No weekend rest because Chris is doing the job with the Hitachi.. 🇬🇧
Great video Chris
Good start for the job.
Some action for the cows! ;-)

New name for Chanel Letsdigponds.

Mate love your videos love how tidy your machines are and keep it up
SOT Metal Works needs some stickers, looking good!
Cant beat the power of the 250 clearing trees. Keep up the good work Chris. And Tim too. Ha
A 330 will beat it all day long
Early morning good cuppa coffee and watching your progress
If I were you I'd be saving all those hardwood logs man just save them and in a year I'll bet you'll have quite a chunk of money there
Chris - making Logger Wade obsolete, again !! 🤣
Chris, when you're pointing at something out of the shovel do you make the movements for the controls for a few seconds before realizing you're not in the cab?
Look forward to see how this job pans out bro, off to a good stat anyway
Hay letslog18 I thought the din din was a caterpillar not a Volvo. Love watching your videos keep it up.
Isn't it nice to be back in a machine with hydraulic thumb?!!!!!
Timmy will figure it out if you set there long enough lol 😂👍🇺🇸😎
Where was Tim? That was the boss in the hauler
Funny how you used your bucket to point when explaining where your going.
Amazing how shallow the tree root system is? 1-2 feet deep?
Next time, take video of pulling out trees and grubbing. Trailblazing is the best part!
When y’all changed her bucket teeth is when I realized just how big she is!
Nice!!!!
you got a hell of an axe there chris LOL
Like groundhog day lol ponds ponds.lol great job Chris,enjoy your videos. You think youll ever sale hats?
Glad to see your using my favorite excuvater, not that clapped orange thing I like high tech
Love the shows

15:11 Now I see why you don’t use the radios anymore, you’ve all mastered telepathy.

Spending the day in a valvo probably made you miss the Hitachi.
WooHoo !!! Number 1000...
Did you cut the logs out of the trees or did they go to the dump pile Chris?
neagtive, not worth my time for 3 trees
@@letsdig18 thanks for the reply thought that would be the case.
Hey I wanna do this one day could u get with me on how to start and what you do because I’m really interested in it thanks in advanced
You have to start at the bottom as a laborer first. Nobody gets on someone elses machine without having experience.
Brian Gardiner I know this but I wanna know what certifications and permits you have to have first and I wouldn’t mind doing stuff for him and helping with small stuff first
Takes a lot of money and a lot of practice..........

Could u please do a machine video on All ur machines
The woodworker in me says to find a way to get those trees so I can make a chair or something.

Is this the biggest excavator in the fleet ?
Do you run controls in your sleep??
I can't believe you didn't log out that red oak
Alright a tree killing video at last. Got to catch up to BBRS & August, lol.
What state is your business located? I looked on your site but it doesn't say where. Keep up the great videos.
Hickbilly9 somewhere in the Carolinas
@@FishFind3000 Thanks for the reply! 👍
Wendell, North Carolina. 🇬🇧
Why don’t you have your employees wear high vis clothing? I really like all your videos!
Hey Chris we’re u in Sanford today

You should change the channel name to pond stars!
A little too soon,quality too low,I'll be back to watch soon. This channel/content deserves better than 240p.
Its hd now
@@RedRacconKing Yep,just got back to check. TY man.
@@had2galsinthebooth no problem man.
Is this a 250? Thought he only had the 220, 160 and the Hitachi 200? Or am I wrong?
That's a 250
@@Dirtdreams Thanks, didn't know he had this one and I've been watching close to a year now lol
He has so many videos its hard to keep them in order haha
1st
Nope
So you gonna be on AX Men?
Jesse Watts he’s not a logger.
FishFind3000 no shit Sherlock! Logger Wade said he was going to be on the show.
Must be nice to work in shorts,let alone air conditioning.
I thought Brutus was green...
I hope there are no botanists watching, those trees got murdered, then slaughtered, then murdered again, then turned into road kill. 🤣
You smash 1 cow with bucket and sell it...you will get extra money...
Dude really hates trees and other assorted foliage... eff these trees lol
Hope that won’t me texting you when your phone went off lol
What brand thumb
