When you were working with the skid steer, I had to smile because I saw my cat watching the screen and she was just as mesmerized as I was! Now THAT's entertainment, lol!
Began as a fan by first watching your older videos and just jumped ahead to this most recent upload and am so grateful for the much better sound quality of hearing you speak/explain in the cab. Love your work and attitude, sir. Much respect.
You meant it when you said months of work lined up. Good to see that there is money being spent in your region. A lake house is a nice investment too. As long as they allow for rising water.
Love watching you brother.. Running that beast just comes naturally.. You do amazing work.. I have welded on a many of them over the years.. Be safe, and keep digging Chris.. 😁👍
Another great video Chris and I just wanted to tell you thank you brother for taking us alone every day with you on your jobs I really enjoy watching your videos every morning around 5 AM while drinking my coffee but anyway brother you and John and yawls family stay safe and keep the videos coming
I love your long videos. I watch them before I sleep, or sometimes during dinner. I don't know why I find them so soothing and relaxing. Maybe because the elemental impulses of my soul are for destruction and renewal. War and reconstruction. Nihilism and re-creation. Chaos and pastoral peace. The fundamental dialectic of The Almighty.
We call this Grubbing here in the mountain state .... its the first stage of the job ..... I have a "swamper" thats a guy on the ground with a saw cutting what i cant break .... then i "shovel" it in piles so my "brush jockeys" those are skid steers with brush grapples can carry it back to the fire or chipper ..... i have a few videos of the process ..... #makindirtylookgood .... i always love watching other peoples channels to see how to improve my own .... great job ole buddy! looks like your trees have leaves and might just be a lil warmer !
Becoming addictive, but always enjoy a new adventure of digging or clearing. It shows at times how you think you can do with the 160 that you do with the 220.
Just subbed because you don't waste time with an intro. I know nothing about what you do but mesmerized!!! Use those machines like a knife and fork. Some surgeons wish for that skill. From the cab I lose bearings, so shots outside help.
I think it’s amazing how small of detail work you can do with such a big ass machine! Truly impressive, my favorites are pond builds/repairs but it’s all amazing to me
Man, I know your glad to be out of the mud for a minute !! lolol....Seems like you guys are catching up on your smaller jobs here lately ? But, Great as always Chris !! Have a Great Weekend Man !! On to the Next....
You'll get it figured out Chris you always do, I just don't think that there is an obstacle you can't over come, all of your videos are enjoyable to watch but to me the more challenging ones are the best to watch, thanks for sharing them with all of your viewing fans...
Man, you must've been doing this since you were a kid. You work those heavy duty equipment's like they are part of you. Haha!!! You're a REAL PRO. at this!!! AMAZING!!!
18:22 I feel so stupid. Let me explain why. You called that back of the truck drop down thing a "tail gate" previously I did not know the name, but that makes sense. When people call drivers "tail gaters" I always thought it was gator as in "allegator" implying that they were acting like an allegator on your heels. But now I realise it's because they are acting like the "tail gate" on the back of the truck. As in they are acting like they are attached to you. So, yeah, I feel silly now but I guess I learned a thing.
@@Skynet-1 Wouldn't surprise me if he did. A lot of professionals do. In programming there is a thing called "rubber ducky programming" which is said to help developers with problem solving.
I dunno. I think if had a lake house and needed a drive, I would put one set of flags down and tell Chris to just make me a road the way you think it should be. from here to there. I think he would do a big enough road, with a nice contour with artistry to match scenery and drainage and the embankments. He has a pretty good eye for all of that. I wouldn't be afraid he would just give me a straight road. Here's the main road. Here's the house. Here's the dock, get me from here to there to there with style. It would be very interesting to see what he would do.
Another great video and just want say thanks, my grandson is four and loves to watch big equipment run! He has really been enjoying your videos. I’m new to your videos so can you tell what state you are from?
I run my doors closed on my track loader when i clear land. And i wonder if the trees make that much noise lol. Those saplings are like the willows we have up here. Small and flexible. Extremely hard to pull. If i had a 4 in 1 i might be able to.
It’d be nice if you did a video of what questions customers can ask to make sure the contractor we hire can do the work. I went through 2 before I found a 3rd that was able to remove a huge stump in an inner city lot with no room for a large excavator like yours. 3rd guy brought in a larger backhoe.
One thing I have learned about operating any form of equipment is that if you have to think about every movement of the bucket or anything else then you are not an efficient operator. You have to consider the equipment is an extension of yourself and your actions related to the operation of the machine are automatic. A good operator can be efficient in any brand of a machine of the same type after a short time of familatization. It taks a lot of seat time be be good. I know of a kid that is 17 years old that is as good as anyone. His dad owns a company and startred him on operating construction when he was 10 years.
The more i watch this channel the more i start to think about getting into the excavating business. I hope to find someone who mirrors your experience and willingness to share your knowledge with the next generation. It’s a tall order tho, you’ve got mighty big shoes to fill. I wish you and your family the best, keep on digging!
How many projects are you typically juggling/ doing at once? Is your company just you and your uncle or do y’all have other operators? Just curious and apologize if answered already in prior videos.
It's been Chris and John only for some time. Earlier this month he said ... «For the past year Ive had about a 3 month list of work waiting to be done at any given time. pretty much whatever job we can do depending on weather»
@@marcwohlmayer7897 Hi Marc, schön dich auch zu sehen! Mir geht's soweit gut. Ich will nicht klagen, war schon schlechter. Und bei dir? Wie war Weihnachten mit deiner Schwester? Ich bin froh, wenn das Wetter bald mal besser wird, so kriegt man nur Depris. 😉 Bis bald mal wieder.
@@Namaste3004 Weinachten war super. Wir haben bei meine ältern gefeiert und dort war auch meine schwester. Mir geht's soweit gut danke😀.ya nur des Wetter ist doof.wünsch dir was bis bald 😉
@@marcwohlmayer7897 Du sagtest doch, deine Schwester kommt zu dir und du kochst was schönes? Naja, bei und mit den Eltern ist ja auch schön. Man soll das nutzen, so lange es geht. Bei mir geht's schon seit den 1990ern nicht mehr. OK bis demnächst wieder. #takecare 😊
you know as long as the camera is in the cab the motion of the cab doesn't make me dizzy....but set that camera outside and swing that machine around and I am so dizzy...but I still watch...thanks for sharing ... peace
Yeah, you guys get frozen and stay there....virginia and on south, we stay mild or warm for most of the year. We got an inch of snow the other day; we hadn’t seen any snow in 3 friggin years.
I've been driving a truck for about 20 years, been wanting to figure out how to get into running equipment. Any suggestions on how a small town guy who doesn't know anybody that has equipment can get into the industry? I live in Southwest Missouri.

I can spend hours watching you guys work
When you Treat Customers like you do, NO Advertising is necessary. You’re Overqualified. 😬👍
Satisfied customers IS advertising.
Owner has their priorities right. Boat dock before the house
🤣
If you have lake property and the docks not the first thing built, do you even deserve that property
You know that you have a great RUclips channel where other RUclipsrs mention you’re channel on their channel.
Just in case you didn't know there is a compacting roller for the skid steer I think it would be handy for dam core's when the big roller can't get in
Man I love the sound of trees just crunching with the power of that machine.
It's like killing ants with sledgehammer.
Yeah the camera doesn't immediately reveal how big the machine actually is!
Smooth skills Sir.
Thanks for sharing.
I never noticed it before, but the engine on this 160 sounds awesome. Purrrring like a kitten... :)
Thanks again Chris, nice video.
This is just amazing that you can be so precise with this machine. How many years have you been doing this. Enough I am sure. You are the best. Thanks

As always it is fun seeing how the project evolves. You do videos well Chris!
Quite relaxing to watch the work grow. Would be fun if somebody painted an eye on each side of the bucket.
Awesome Video.driveway looks good going through there. I wonder how the boat dock is gonna look when she is all done.nice work there Chris.😀
For a moment there I thought the 160 was going to smack the tree when Chris was swinging left. Lol
Me too 🤣 about 3 quarters the way through lol
Yeah gave me a small hart attack lol 😂

I wish i could get some sort of idea of the cost/time foe some of these projects. Wife is wanting to move from forest to forest again...
Nice video Chris - like the way you start right at the beginning of the project and walk through it for us. Those trees are pretty crunchy!
Looks good Chris hope you have a great weekend
Man the strength of that excavator is amazing! Love it!
love the sound of crunching!! lke T-Rex having a bit of lunch!...
The 160 goes nom nom nom
You are one hard working yong man keep up the wounderful jobs
Man, I know your glad to be out of the mud for a minute !! lolol....Seems like you guys are catching up on your smaller jobs here lately ? But, Great as always Chris !! Have a Great Weekend Man !! On to the Next....
I knew it! I knew it! I just knew you would find some mud, someplace! You, Sir, are CURSED! Thanks for the video. Jon

Really Enjoyed ,,hearing that Engine work ,,Well Done!! :-)!
Fold, spindle, mutilate and stack in piles.
Load into the truck and the mess is gone. Good technique Chris.
Go Chris! I look forward to seeing you every time you post! Keep well and safe!
SALUDOS CHRIS, ANOTHER GREAT VIDEO LIKE ALWAYS.
Getting it done🎬 and looks like alot of fun.🌞 Awesome job 🇺🇲Chris♥️ ,you amaze me with all your jobs.🏁 Stay safe and thank you for the great videos. 📸
I didn't realize just how powerful that equipment is - those trees are like snapping twigs!
Nice way to get your frustrations out for sure. I always wanted to run big equipment like that but drove a truck instead.
good one, keep safe
Kinda shows that you haven't done anything like this before. This a GED episode, stands for get er done. Good job buddy
boy your sound system sure is better than the old sound system you were using, its great now
Man, you must've been doing this since you were a kid. You work those heavy duty equipment's like they are part of you. Haha!!! You're a REAL PRO. at this!!! AMAZING!!!
This channel is so neat, each video is a free class with an expert operator.

So, yeah, I feel silly now but I guess I learned a thing.
So does anyone else wonder if Chris ever catches himself explaining what he's doing when he's all alone and the camera is off. Ha Ha
Chris does explain what he is doing but he doesn't fill the entire video with endless bullshit like many do.
It seems like he cares enough to kindly tell us, the viewers, what he is doing and why. Much appreciated! Thank you Chris
I'm watching his video and wondering if he talks to himself when the camera is not rolling also. 🎥 👍👍👍

@@cmmartti I found they are from Raleigh NC, I’m from SC and thought the soil looked similar!
Natures perfume earthy smells with pine essence!
Had ti check twice, no sand, no rocks, no mud, no rain, can't be the right channel.
The power of these machines is awesome
Nice office you got there 👍
Awesome job👍
Going to be a nice little driveway🤙
I run my doors closed on my track loader when i clear land. And i wonder if the trees make that much noise lol. Those saplings are like the willows we have up here. Small and flexible. Extremely hard to pull. If i had a 4 in 1 i might be able to.
Blow by blow commentary from the pro!
Looks like it going to be a big job from start to finish Chris at least you not burning any trees for awhile
Lovely job well done
It’d be nice if you did a video of what questions customers can ask to make sure the contractor we hire can do the work. I went through 2 before I found a 3rd that was able to remove a huge stump in an inner city lot with no room for a large excavator like yours. 3rd guy brought in a larger backhoe.
So this is how to clear a Quad Runner path. To think I was out there as a teen with a hatchet lol!
Bulldozer works even better
“Ya use what ya brung”- Chris G or maybe that was DirtPerfect, dont remember! Lol
you need to add a extra blade on your thumb to line up with your bucket side cutting edge to make it able to be a tree shear for cutting logs
One thing I have learned about operating any form of equipment is that if you have to think about every movement of the bucket or anything else then you are not an efficient operator.

That's the first time I've seen Chris push a tree and it didn't go where he wanted
A fairly large step from 250 down to 160 in strength and umpf.
Very impressive! 😀👍

great job
The sound on this vid was nice, the crackle of those trees breaking was crisp 😉 new mic? Or just front open
Get em 😊
That machine is so badass!
Love the videos man... you have the best job 👌🏻👍🏻
I see you have a combo bucket, bet that makes thing allot easier.
you know as long as the camera is in the cab the motion of the cab doesn't make me dizzy....but set that camera outside and swing that machine around and I am so dizzy...but I still watch...thanks for sharing ... peace
Nice sharing brother working klear today my friend 👍
thats some nice looken dirt
This is so zen.
Always over and beyond
My dream job!! Hanging out in the woods of North Carolina running machines...pretend I'm running the 250 when eating mashed potatoes.
I guess excavating goes year round in your neck of woods, we are shut down for winter in northern VT.
Yeah, you guys get frozen and stay there....virginia and on south, we stay mild or warm for most of the year. We got an inch of snow the other day; we hadn’t seen any snow in 3 friggin years.
this video must be back in late summer since there are leaves on the trees and they have not changed colors yet
Skid steer sounds sick
amazing power that is flowing through these plastic hoses of a modern excavator
That's going to be one big brush fire
Enjoyable video's Chris
I like the part when he knocked the tree over👍🏼
Dig the utilities back to the house and then gravel the driveway....
I'm not real big on excavators , but this man knows his bizz,I like how he tooth hooks and half lap a tree,good vidio
When I was young, I read "Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance". Nowadays, I watch "Chris and the Art of Excavator Mastery"
Awesome job
your spring starts early
I've been driving a truck for about 20 years, been wanting to figure out how to get into running equipment. Any suggestions on how a small town guy who doesn't know anybody that has equipment can get into the industry? I live in Southwest Missouri.
Beats loading rocks I guess.
very nice, would it be possible for you to talk about how much you would charge for projects like these? ballpark
Just curious, why no fabric under the base?
That 160 breakin trees sounds just like my daughters dog eating chicken necks...
I didn’t think dogs were supposed to eat chicken/bird bones because they are hollow and soft? That dog is a champ.
@@deplorablelibertarian just not cooked ones because they become brittle and sharp
Like the video but I prefer larger drive way .
When your limited for room to swing the excavator would it be easier to use a dozer to clear trees?
I think it's easier to use a dozer for clearing trees in general.
@@Bigbobbrown12 and how is a dozer going to load the brush in the dump truck?
