Cowdy partner! 😆 I like playing with words. Hope the cows will be happy about their bigger pool. Have a nice weekend and don't forget to change the clock!
The turtles will be happy with a bigger and deeper pond so another pond made bigger and better and made more cow pasture so win win for all the animals good job 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍😉
Listening to you talk about mud brought me back to the first video of yours I ever watched: the rental excavator recovery. Watching you dig that thing out, I was in awe. Little girls like playing with construction toys too. You took me back near 60 years when I would be doing that in my sandbox. This video brought me back to helping my uncle on his dairy farm. Thanks for bringing back those very fond memories.
That was my first video of the channel also, absolutely fascinating to watch and I’d never seen anything like it. Barely a day goes past now where I don’t watch letsdig18 😊
Well that pond turned out nice. I have a touch screen laptop I have been trying to clean my screen until I realized it was mud on the Volvo. Ha ha . Don't know if I have seen ruts that deep John being pushed so many times. Well all done and slicked up now.
That spring kinda tells you where the majority of the water for the pond id from when its not raining. Another great job. I like jobs like that one. Short and sweet
Gosh this turned out SO nice! Great work!! And wow it was exciting when you cut the water loose. Chris, my 5 yr old grandson now wants to grow up to be you 👍 👌👌💯💯💯👌👌
Yessir them turtles gonna be happy happy. I can see them all lined up on a log sunning themselves looking around and thinking he does a darn fine job...
Tell them to throw a few bales of barley (it has to be barley) straw in the pond - it'll clear up the algae. No need to break them open. ETA Now it's all redone, the owner needs to fence most of it off, leaving one or two areas of bank for the cattle to access the water. If not, they'll soon have all those edges broken down again...
Great job Chris that is a thousand times better and looking really good. Once you get the grass growing it will look tremendous. All the best pond master, another great success. Graham🇬🇧🇬🇧👍👍
Was half expecting a turtle to stick it's head up to see why the tide was going out. Don't really realize just how much dirt came out till ya see it stacked up. Finished up looking nice bro. Safe travels up your way.
I think I would still be working if I could hire some hole operators like you You're the best I've seen in 42 years Really enjoy watching all your videos for years now. I've thought it over just now easier just to watch you not as frustrating LOL
That would be awesome to sit there and watch Chris do his magic with the volvo it just blows my mind how smooth, accurate, enjoyable and how great he is. I really enjoy Chris's videos Thank You for sharing Chris
Good work Chris, man that is some gum bowy material, punky stuff, pond turned out sweet, thanks for sharing an look forward to seeing the next video. 💪🇺🇸
I do not think I have ever seen anyone ever bulldoze a pond or swamp before. There must be some serious rock under that pond. Thanks for sharing this insightful video. Wishing you and your team a great week. Cheers.
I guess you have not seen Dirt Perfects recent project where Jerry pushed massive mud through a hole they made in a dam!!! It was amazing but not how I would do it. Had to drain it completely. They had a river of mud running into some woods. The mud was actually flowing like lava.
The Pond Master Has done it again !! lololol... Turned out nice Chris !! Ol' Unk John had a rough start with all the getting hung up but, once ya got moving on it, it got going pretty smooth for ya !! You Guys really do your magic on those ponds / lakes ... They look like hell before ya get started, and a whole different place when you get done !! Really Great Job , as always !! Have a Great Evening , and Weekend !! And, On too the Next...
That Pond reminds me of a little spring fed cow pond I used to fish as a kid. Mr. Twister was the bait to catch anything that was in that old pond. Thanks for sharing this video. Properly managed, that little hole in the ground can be more than a cows drinking hole.
I enjoy all the aerial views of the different jobs. It would be good to see them here before you fill the cow pond. Also after when the pond is full and the vegetation has grown back. Another awesome job.😀👍🇨🇦
As always, I am very impressed with your work. I totally enjoy watching you with each project. I am continually amazed just how much work you accomplish each day.. Thanks
Chris, the first video of yours that I watched was you out in deep mud with your mats trying to prove to the world that your excavator was not going to get stuck. I have watched you ever since, knowing when you get your chance, you will be back playing in the mud again.
Wow. I don't ever remember seeing a video of you breaching a coffer damn on a dozer. You must have been confident in that soil once you got out there! Great project. I'm glad the hauling worked out. I got nervous for you on the last video.
You definitely have better luck than me. I watched that big chunk of clay rolling down the hill for the fence. If it would have been me it would have rolled right over a fence post and pulled about fifty feet of wire and posts over. 🤣🤣
Didn't realize that pond SEDIMENT sets up like CONCRETE, Chris! 🤯 You built Mr. Snapping Turtle a huge new home... he'll get BIG enough to EAT the livestock! 🤣
ANOTHER EXCELLENT Job there Chris...!!! ✅🥇🏆🏅 I am sure when the farmer that wanted this done, after explaining to you how he thought, Hoped it would look had no idea when you two walked off after the talk that he wouldn’t have thought it would look anywhere as N1CE as you had an idea in your mind to make it look 👀 you just have to Beale to “Visualize” it how it can Be. 😎👍. BTW, I kept looking for that monster Snapping turtle 🐢 at about 18:30 but never did see him again... did you ever see him anymore after that first day 🤷🏻♂️.??
Just remember your the one that likes playing in mud,looks like it was a beautiful day,one thing going for you keep doing what your doing and carry on 😎😎😎👍👍👍
"Sink right out of sight...." Did someone tell you that, or is that the 'Voice of Experience' talking?! That's one of the things I so like about your channel, Chris, the knowledge you pass along to your viewers. I'll never be a professional at this, my excavator operations are limited to my nephews KX057-4 on his ranch, but I've become a better, and safer operator from what I've learned from you. Thank you, my friend.......
@@fhuber7507 I remember a time at DakTo in Vietnam, during monsoons when they got a Armored Personnel Carrier (APC) stuck on flat ground. They brought out an M-60 tank to pull it out and got that stuck. They brought out a tank retriever and intentionally stuck it, took a second tank retriever to hold the first one to pull out the M-60, then the APC, then the second tank retriever pulled out the first one, and everyone retreated for a beer - or two - or twelve - or until the last man was standing! OH, the horrors of war.............
Considering on the kind of dirt that you had to work with Chris I think it turned out to be damn good looking and awesome job so another great video brother so you and John and yawls family stay safe and keep the videos coming. I can’t wait to your next video to see where we’re venturing off to. Lol
...the cows are looking anxious...lol...good one, have a great weekend...
Nice rejuvenation plus expansion Chris.👍
Looks great Chris, another good video! Thanks for sharing my friend! 👌🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻
Hello there 👋👋,how are you doing today?hope you’re having a good day?❤️!

Yes they did. All of them. Lol
Lucky they did not end up in a soup pot. That big boy would have made a great batch of soup.

Hello there 👋👋,how are you doing today?hope you’re having a good day?❤️!
Man after watching news tonight, this is refreshing in it's simple sanity. Bet that old snapping turtle is going to be happier with a bigger pond
I wonder if the snapper is old enough to remember when it was a big pond way back when?
Cowdy partner! 😆 I like playing with words. Hope the cows will be happy about their bigger pool. Have a nice weekend and don't forget to change the clock!
They are fencing the cattle away from the pond. Setting up a gravity feed to water troughs.

Down here in Texas, we call them stock tanks. (Not cow ponds). Thanks for posting, love watching your videos
Here a stock tank sits above the ground and is made of metal, plastic or concrete
@@cathiwim Where's here?
I'm in Texas and no stock will get at my pond, but fish will be in it.
So its a fish pond.
@@fhuber7507 Where I'm from, all small bodies of water are called tanks. Never heard the word "pond" unless I read it in a book, lol.
