I imagine you visualizing, designing, putting together a strategy all in your head, then executing. No going backwards. That's impressive. Thanks for the videos.
Man that D6 can certainly move the dirt with ease ! And she sounds sweet doing it ! When you see the clay sticking to the dumper bed and that lump of clay that stuck to the face of the small dozer all day I think it’s safe to say that clay will not let the water leak through . Got to say I really like these longer videos .
I’m Thinking it is quite a gift to be able to listen to a landowners dreams, look at the property filled with trees, and have the vision and comprehension to make their dreams become reality. Not to mention your skill getting big equipment to do your will!
I've been watching your work videos for couple years now. I'm retired now but was in the construction industry for 35 years. I have seen equipment operators thru the years. The more I'm amazed at your knowledge of the work process. I admire your work ethic and ability to get it done right. Thank you Chris for the entertainment! Take care. 👍🇺🇲😎
I find this video so calming and fun to watch. Sound of your machines at work and how you slowly change the landscape to meet the projects shape. You sir are a true craftsman of your trade.
The total personification of 'daylight is for work and night is for eatin' and sleepin''. 'Scoopies and dumpies' to the max. Loving the grill on Barney.
Hey Chris I ran your speed numbers on loading. Dump to Dump avg 15.975 - longest 18.143. 8 scoops per load and a Total Load Time avg of 2.13 minutes. Damn you’re good!
Turning slowly into another masterpiece!! You're seriously not kidding saying you need A LOT OF DIRT if you hauled it for 12 hours and you only got a third of it done. That's mind blowing! I've absolutely zero doubt that you'll git er done!
You’re like a one man army brother, seems like you always get a lot done by yourself Chris! You work a few hours and get more done than a lot operators I’ve seen, great job “Pond Master “ ! I always enjoy your videos and your awesome experience on any piece of equipment brother! Looks great my friend, if I had to say which piece of equipment you operate the best! I’d have no idea because you operate anything with amazing experience brother! Y’all are making some headway today, core trench looks great and really packed great, good job guys! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻Thanks for sharing Chris my friend, Kirk from Louisiana! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
The ashes look like a real joy to push around, I don't envy you that part of the job. I love watching how you build the dam. I want to build a pond on my property in a year or two. Good to see how you do it.
Wow, Chris. 12-15 hour days? 7 days a week? Big props for fulfilling your obligations to your customers, just don't forget your obligations to yourself & family. As you said many months ago, this is a long project. It won't be completed in a weekend or a month of weekends. So take care of you, I want to see many more projects done by you especially the upgrades to the farm you've talked about. PS: Geoff, great drone footage.
I know that if you leave a pile of mulch to sit for a while it will often grow mushrooms. Today I learned that if you leave a pile of ashes and burnt stumps for a couple of weeks it will start to grow tables and chairs. 😎
I have been watching your channel for some time now and I really believe you are having way too much fun with your jobs!! Chris, your are a true professional and artist with your plant equipment.
Getting to see and hear the 6 run is like frosting on the cake. You have good videos young man, but the 6 makes them great from my perspective. That is a lot of dirt to move for sure, the haul truck handles it nicely. Like your plan and it execution of it, preparation is the key to any successful endeavor, thanks for the ride along sir.
That’s a lot of dirt moved in this video!! Always appreciate how your plan works out. Always thinking. Like that and good to see thru your videos. Can’t wait to see this weekends videos!!
Amazing work, day after day, from one job to the next. It never gets old....well digging stumps can become a little boring but you do a good job switching it up, talking and the new timelapse and music things you have been doing more often recently. Keep it going Chris, definitely a under rated channel. I binge watch old videos when I'm in the hospital too. Thanks for the great content and have a good weekend, the heat has been horrible on the east coast recently
8:15 rocking, rocking and rolling / down to the beach I'm strolling ... Look it up when you've got 4 minutes. Especially the later lyric about lifting rocks.
Tks for who ever is in charge of posting, editing your videos, Chris. I really love ur programs. Guessing about what was going on is really frustrating. My hearing loss began about a year ago and adjusting to a new life has been hard on an 86 yr old. The Captioning Program has been a life saver for me. Again tks and hope you activate captioning more often.
That’s one fine looking lake you’re building Chris , ideal for canoeing ,fishing & swimming, you and your crew are doing a fantastic job, I worked on a sheep & cattle property for 30 years , the manager and a couple of others and myself were running a new fence line , the manager jokingly said there are 24 hours in a day and I want to see you working 25 of them , this looks like what you are doing once you start a job you keep going till it’s completed
The workmanship is fantastic, the time management is perfect. Tell Jeff to stop throwing his trash( the old table)in the old burn pile (42:39), you have enough stuff to move already.
Great job Chris you and that D6 can move that dirt in a hurry. Great videos I take my hat off to you,your one of the hardest working man I have ever seen
You are a prime example of dedicated proper work ethic and doing today instead of putting of till tomorrow. Even after a long productive day. That’s the way I was raised and unfortunately most of what you see today especially in the word of construction don’t work that way or even aware that’s how you get ahead. Keep fighting the good fight . Also I’m not sure when you have the time to edit and put out these amazing episodes (hopefully you have someone assisting you with that ) so you can stay strong and sharp for many years to come.
Woke up from a nap thinking I was going to work on a customers chassis (circuit board) for the crt monitor in his mini 60 in 1 arcade game I built years ago and I noticed I had an alert for a new Chris Letsdig18 video. Weeeeeell, that got put on hold. I'm waiting for parts anyways so of course I gotta watch Chris movin' dirt plus I got another notification Mr. Bealy has posted an overview of this Chris day so I'll be watching that next. Best thing is, the Wife is off someplace so I can watch in peace.
Great video Chris great to see the old CAT working some also wish I lived closer I'd be coming to hit you up all I've ever done was build ponds and lakes
Pond coming along well!!! Thank u so much for video and explaining different types of soil and where to use it. Giant project but u are efficient at every step. Very enjoyable!!! God's blessings and take care.
When those vibratory pad foot rolllers "walk out" of the fill you know that your soil is compacted to high density and no testing is required. Your dirt is some of the best for dam building. Job looks great!
Chris you just wanted to drive the D6. Sure does purr good. I'm coughing with the wind blowing all the ashes. Dam is really looking good. The three of you work well together. See you tomorrow.
I have had folks ask me to dig them a pond. I tell them for a good pond there is more to it than just digging a hole. I need to have them watch your pond digging videos. Really enjoy the drone footage.
Hi from uk Chris 👋 👍 defo putting a good dent in the project moving all this clay and just getting to it so good goin to you and the crew 👌 and at end no vocals lol we all know you said "" so jumped on old D6 for hour and got all ashes and roots pushed in the hole clearing this area so I can strip a bit more top soil from here move to there and extend the cut for the pond dam and i am done for the day i have a home to go to 👍🤣"" your a good grafter too Chris you put some hours in i know that awesome and magic man you are 👌 thanks for your time be safe and see you soon 👍 👋
After watching all the ash dust flying when you were pushing those piles, I'd be tempted to look into getting an off-road fire truck of some kind to wet down the ash before pushing it around!
Sad to see Barney blow a hose bro that haul truck has been doing everything you have asked of it so far, luckily a simple fix. Pond is coming along well with the good helpers you have had too. Safe travels
That red clay here in Louisiana is that big time sticky stuff you can’t knock off a shovel brother and it definitely won’t grow weeds on it either! lol 😂 makes a great house foundation to build your form on top of and fill dirt inside the forms for digging! When that stuff packs, you can’t dig it at all brother! It’s pick ax time if you don’t have an excavator! lol 😂 thanks for sharing my friend!
It would be sweet to see a top down shot of the whole area if your drone can fly up that high! Maybe even use that to show us which areas you’re working on that day? Love the work you do keep up the good work sir!
Very nice Video Chris, loved the Drone footage and I must tell you, you remind me of me, seeing you walk down several times to check the work on the core it reminds me of my favorite saying, you must inspect what you expect.
Chris I personally believe you need to put just a little bit longer extension on that exhaust system on that Dozer that way we keep a lot of that black suit off of your paint job
Hard workin man, thanks for taking us along with you. Love these big projects. I'd love to hear how you're going to tie those two sections of pond edge together. Just piece meal it? Acts as a drainage ditch for now?
Man, that D6 is my favorite machine. It's old school, rolls coal and when you load the blade and dig, it sounds awesome! I know it's hot and loud to work on, but it really reminds me of old videos when they were building the Eisenhower interstate system and building log roads in the northwest back in the 50's and 60's. This is a fantastic project Chris. I love your videos! Thank you for not making us watch you knock over 1,387,416 trees on this project. Lol. Great content!
Almost had a heart attack @ 47:38 because I thought the D6 was going over, lol. Anyway, That thing is a beast. Sure can push stuff. The dam is looking great.
Awesome determination Chris. What ever happened to pans? Back in the day when we were surveyors we set grades for many big developments and sports fields. They had big drag pans behind D9s. One pulling, one pushing.
Fuel prices shut those down. Also this job is to small for scrapers. The cost of trucking those in and the fuel consumption would kill his profit. Since he doesn’t own any he would have to lease them as well. I imagine a twin engine scraper will cost a couple thousand dollars a day to run between lease, fuel and maintenance and labor cost.
That clay is better than what we have! Ours is mixed clay/fill dirt that's sticky and packed down so hard that tree roots have a time getting through it.

I imagine you visualizing, designing, putting together a strategy all in your head, then executing. No going backwards. That's impressive. Thanks for the videos.
I'm surprised you haven't had a sleeper cab fitted to the 220 matey - your work ethic & enthusiasm is truly inspirational.
I was going to say, I don't think he sleeps..
Putin in a hard day at work, then putting out a video on the same day :)
When I saw dirt sticking to the bed Chris you were like I need to scratch the dirt out of the bed well at least you know the material is good
Man that D6 can certainly move the dirt with ease ! And she sounds sweet doing it ! When you see the clay sticking to the dumper bed and that lump of clay that stuck to the face of the small dozer all day I think it’s safe to say that clay will not let the water leak through . Got to say I really like these longer videos .
Scam☝🏼
It's a D6 with the heart of a D11! 😀😃🙂🙃😊
Back at that auction, when it barely flipped over and started right up, you knew it was ready to go to work again for someone.
Tons of respect for your work ethic Chris!
I’m Thinking it is quite a gift to be able to listen to a landowners dreams, look at the property filled with trees, and have the vision and comprehension to make their dreams become reality. Not to mention your skill getting big equipment to do your will!
It’s good that the sun goes down and it rains every so often otherwise you’d work around the clock every day. Greetings from ENC.
I've been watching your work videos for couple years now. I'm retired now but was in the construction industry for 35 years. I have seen equipment operators thru the years. The more I'm amazed at your knowledge of the work process.
I admire your work ethic and ability to get it done right. Thank you Chris for the entertainment!
Take care. 👍🇺🇲😎
Us viewers are getting spoiled with all the drone video of the equipment in operation. Lol. Thank Mr. Bealey.
6pm and Chris is still working. That is 'men who built America' attitude right there!
I find this video so calming and fun to watch.
Sound of your machines at work and how you slowly change the landscape to meet the projects shape. You sir are a true craftsman of your trade.
I also enjoy the sound of the machines working, miss it when music is playing………

Chris has greatly improved on his videos as time gone on. I only been watching for a little over two years and watch many of his older ones.
I enjoy them, but I think a lot of times they could've been pared down quite a bit.
@@wfemp_4730 I politely disagree.

Truth, He accomplishes more in 1 day than a lot of my local city(s) crews does in 3 or 4.
The ashes look like a real joy to push around, I don't envy you that part of the job. I love watching how you build the dam. I want to build a pond on my property in a year or two. Good to see how you do it.
You're getting there takes time, but you're also creating employment for other people in the area which is good.👍👍🙂🇨🇦

Pucker factor level ten on that dozer towards the end there.
Looks good, can't wait to see it done and full of water
No worries, you got this Chris!👊💪
Having Bealy Good doing these drone shots is pretty cool. Feels like a SoCalEarthMovers video. I like the music over top
I just like seeing big toys moving dirt😎👍👍👍
I TOTALLY ENJOYED WATCHING THE VIDEO CHRIS
A lot of work for one man but still you gave us a great video to watch thank you very much Chris
Backing up over that stump looked a little puckering, looked like a wild ride.

Great work on the big dam lot of dirt to more and a lot of help good you have big truck to do that work
The drone shots the last couple videos have been some amazing shots
Getting lots of work done GREAT JOB AS ALWAYS At least the wind is taking the ash dust the right direction Always a joy to watch
Hi Chris Dawns thanks for you humor and calming videos!❤️🩹
The workmanship is fantastic, the time management is perfect. Tell Jeff to stop throwing his trash( the old table)in the old burn pile (42:39), you have enough stuff to move already.
Great job Chris you and that D6 can move that dirt in a hurry. Great videos I take my hat off to you,your one of the hardest working man I have ever seen
Man, there are no 8 to 5 jobs in your business, mostly 5 to 8! Good work on the pond!

Chris another excellent pond building day. Bet you'll be glad when the Bealy Good pond is full of water.
Very interesting being from the uk seeing how engineering works across the pond you sure know your stuff Chris

I so wanted you to remove that chunk of dirt off the dozer blade, my OCD was having a fit😝
Great vedio angle on pushing the pile into the pit. Keep the vedios coming, almost feels like I'm there watching.
Just nothing like the sound off that 6 purring. Sweet music.

Very nice Video Chris, loved the Drone footage and I must tell you, you remind me of me, seeing you walk down several times to check the work on the core it reminds me of my favorite saying, you must inspect what you expect.
@44:05 Does the air filter like those cloudes of ashes? First I thought dozer's engine is on fire. 🥸
Chris I personally believe you need to put just a little bit longer extension on that exhaust system on that Dozer that way we keep a lot of that black suit off of your paint job

Since he doesn’t own any he would have to lease them as well. I imagine a twin engine scraper will cost a couple thousand dollars a day to run between lease, fuel and maintenance and labor cost.
That may look like a huge site, but put a couple of fuel guzzling pans out there and the site shrinks quickly.
That D6 is a powerful machine! It looks like it moves a mountain at a time.
You would have never done this job without the haul truck. A wise purchase!
Solid drone footage perfect views 🙌🏼
Hard work always pays off. Everything will be set up and ready to go in the morning.
That clay is better than what we have! Ours is mixed clay/fill dirt that's sticky and packed down so hard that tree roots have a time getting through it.
You sure put in some very long busy days but you do very good work sure should be a great looking pond when you get done with it
