    I came here because our dental hygienist told my wife this morning that you were doing work on her land, and she gave her the name of your RUclips channel. Have enjoyed watching your work. Fascinating and enjoyable to watch someone who is so good at their job.

    Love the dismounted camera shots of the D6 clearing. It gives an excellent point of view on how that monster can get the job done. I think it deserves a new paint job for the hard work it has done.

    Your channel has long been my favorite. It reminds me of when I worked for my grandpa back in the 70’s. I stop what I’m watching and go straight to watch your new videos when I get the notification. I don’t really like seeing trees taken out but I sure do enjoy watching you destroy them.

    Another great video ! Why do I like to see Chris work all the time , he either digs up trees and dirt with the excavator , pushes trees over and pushes dirt with the dozer , and hauls both with the truck , seems to do this over and over and wow I'm addicted , love it . Cant wait for the next video !!!

    The dad of a good friend of mine had a stump in one of his fields that he couldn't dig up. This was back years ago. He used a couple sticks of dynamite and blew that sucker fifty foot in the air. Dirt flew a good hundred yards and fell like rain for couple of minutes. That was the loudest boom I've ever heard in person.

      And that folks is why farmers usually talk about quarter sticks for stumps! Just enough to knock it loose, but not to cause a dirt shower. Not nearly as much fun but much more efficient. Besides it does not rattle the neighbor's glass as much.

    • @nathanscott7910
      @nathanscott7910 Год назад +2

      @@markpashia7067 true but it was an awesome sight watching the stump fly. It indeed shook the ground and rattled the windows on the trucks. It was a fun day.

    Digging that stump is where you might say. I wish I had the 290 for 5 minutes with a small bucket. Sometimes you win with one punch, sometimes you earn it. I think you earned the victory on that stump.

    Thank You again Chris. Good video, love watching that D6 work. Sweet sound of the engine is great. You're making good progress on this project. The Finale' of your video's now with the drone shot seals the deal. Hard to picture what is going on through all the trees, but from the air, it puts everything into perspective.
    Great job my friend.

    Hi Chris, you got it looking good sir! That Cat D6 never ceases to amaze me in what it can do! There is something to be said about running old iron….they are pretty near bullet proof. You might consider adding bars to the top of your root rake to keep the brush from pushing over the top of the blade…just a thought! Thanks!

    Just a little Funfact:
    My rather annoying OCD was intrigued to see @06:01 what we call a Tachograph in the middle of the dash. I never knew they were exported to the USA. It looks like a speedo and is probably in Km / hour but I doubt it gets noticed. The two knobs each side of the mileage readout are for the driver to select 'mode' (driving, rest or whatever) and there is a small keyhole at the top which allows the whole front to tip down to change a thick paper disc that records all the truck movements and times. I was a certified technician to install and calibrate them.
    When we first had to use them in trucks and artics (semis) over 7.5 Tons many decades ago we called them a 'Spy in the cab' but over time we realised they actually worked for the driver not against him / her. They could be used as a defence against a Police stop for speeding but the Police couldn't use them against us other than for driving hours. And the dispatcher couldn't push us into illegal driving.
    About 10 years ago it all went electronic and now its a black box and we use smart cards. Progress!

  • @chrisobergin3955
    @chrisobergin3955 Год назад

    After a long day on one of my excavators trying to clear a mudslide with a rock face to my left and a drop off to my right working my way up the slide to clear the trees off of it so I could start dumping the dirt and mud over the edge of the cliff with lots of little jolts of adrenaline as my excavator would slip and tip I find myself sitting at my desk watching Chris work his equipment to relax. When I got my excavator back down the slide by burying the blade and using the bucket as an outrigger in front of me as I slid down I looked at my hands and realized they were ever so slightly shaking. The forces we are playing with are no joke, all the best you crazy operators out there, if you can’t be entirely safe at least be careful.

    I have a suggestion on the burn piles. First,dig your hole and put all the burn in it. When it comes time to use the dirt for other things you have it already in a pile and you can use what you don't need over the burn piles.
