I understand if you may not always want to talk or explain things, but I really appreciate when you do explain and share your knowledge. I know there is a lot of planning and calculating on these jobs and I always appreciate hearing the facts, calculations and planned or unplanned thinking process.
I was thinking to myself, how does he get anything done with that little amount of equipment? 😂 But seriously, it doesn’t seem to matter what you have, you do an amazing job. I’d give anything just to spend my weeks vacation working with you and learning how you do so well no matter what. When are your cabins going to be ready and is your plan ever to rent them? SIGN ME UP!! You could sell a weeks adventure packages where people get to live farm life and much more.
You do every job like you want it done for yourself. And that's just plain awesome. You don't take shortcuts, but give every job your all. This has been fun to watch, Chris and I look forward to the next steps. Thanks for sharing.
I enjoy watching your work, not many people take pride in what they do, but the first solo operator I've seen.on any channel to give the customer what they pay for, you tube channel has done well for you your choice of toy's on site is also a plus,awesome to see a young fellow as yourself be so successful,,curious how many jobs you have to turn down due to travel time from your shop,,...
Pond Master, road builder, building demolition, cattle farmer, hay farmer, part time heavy equipment mechanic, crane operator, dozer driver, excavator operator, road grader driver, dump truck driver, what else can you be called but 'just good'?
Chris its all ways a pleasure watching you go about your daily work routine what ever you call it just like the way you explain the how any why of it all i think you could make a video of you cooking breakfast and we would watch it on a lighter note We haven't seen Winston of late was nice watching you go get breakfast for him any way Cheers from over here 38 c in the shade here with Cyclone off the coast just the norm this time of year Cheers mate
As usual Chris you doing a fantastic job, unfortunately your waiting for someone else so you can get on with the job and get it finished, thank's for another great video.
Looking Great Chris !! I bet that crushed concrete packs in there pretty good, it looks like it should anyway !! lolol... Yeah Man, Geoff did a little spoiler on getting the "Fan Belt" fixed this morning, Don't know how much of that Artic Air you guys got there in your neck of the woods ?? But, here in Western Ky. It has been down right freaking COLD !! Hell, it was only 1-2 degrees this morning but, it's going to warming up for this coming week , Thank God !! But, they are calling for a bunch of rain to be moving in tonight and tomorrow, and a "Ice Storm" a little on to the West. Don't mind the rain ,and Snow myself, But, damn sure don't want to go threw another ice storm like we had here a few years back, that was awful !! No power for up over a month just from the North side of town to the Southside, Was something else !! Anyway, Great as always Chris !! Have a Great Evening, And, On too the Next !!
Dang son, you keep workin at gate spreading you can semi retire the skid steer and motor grader, nice job on the road build sir, thanks for the update.
I always love to see that choice of equipment that is used in the USA, i never realized what a small dozer or a skidsteer can do in the the right hands, what really surprised me, is that there are no wheeled diggers arround or used for smaller jobs like that, are the not allowed to travel on public roads over there?
That’s some nice crushed concrete it has a lot of powder in it!…once the grader started rolling it off the blade…the next thing I remember…it was Tuesday morning!
That crusher run, as it would be known here, were it virgin material, runs $600 Cdn. For a 21 ton tri-axle load. And it disappears into thin air when you spread it, so it seems.
That's actually the main road in to the house from what I remember from last summer when he stopped the road where he did. They hadn't quite decided where the house was to go at that point.
when it's wet on our jobsites we call it pumping the soil when the action of driving a wheeled or tracked vehicle turns the lower dry soil into mush your pumping the water into the soil :)
Chris now you and I know that the D7 would have been a much happier choice for that job 😄 when your driving the D7 I almost think I can hear you smiling 😁😁
Will there be a finish coat of gravel on top that crushed concrete? Cause it makes a great road base but its incredibly dusty when its dry, unlike using asphalt millings makes a great solid road and no dust
I love your attitude of "If its broke fix it!, if it worn out , replace it!" No half junk clanking around on the end of it's life just waiting to hurt people. Betty was prime, even more more that drag line. But "The Old 220" with a $10,000.00 up grade.. You obviously know that working gear makes money and clean gear brings it in...
Chris this Road building have to first the Problem with Rain and Mud. What You Perfect to overcome. Then run the Work good, but to last the crusher Concrete and Gravel, by the Productionwork to go out. How much Squaremetre ( m3) have You for this Road Gravel must have?? Alike You to see by this building is Phantastic. Thanks for the Video. 👌👍💪
Letsdig18: post a video showing your dump truck inside accelerating empty and loaded. People hating on the Allison, ever since you’ve gotten it, I haven’t seen any videos about it. I think that would make a real great video. I’d also like to know what you get for fuel economy, how well the engine brake performs with the Allison. Cummins has some of the strongest engine brakes out there since the epa 2010 ISX models came out. Thanks!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Your skills are a pleasure to watch Chris. Very impressive and versatile young man. Be Careful though! You give the impression you could do this for a living instead of your real job as a movie maker! 😂😂😂
If the owner doesn’t name 1 road “BFE and another one that crosses it “The Middle of Nowhere” I’m gonna be deeply disappointed….the corner of “BFE & The Middle of Nowhere” 🤣😂🤣😂
Hi Chris . . I'm wondering why you used the dozer to cut in the road rather than the motor grader as you did on the new road in last summer. Is it the difference in moisture content in the soil or just preference as to one machine over the other? Thanks - like everyone else I have greatly enjoyed watching you for quite a few years now. When I get a day or two behind it's panic time. 🙂
Chris, what’s also great about the jobs you do is that the customers get a step by step record of everything involved. It must give them piece of mind. You’ll never be out of work. Thanks for taking us along. 🇬🇧👍👍👍
I bloody fucking love the under grader shots. They are my favourite. The only thing that could make them better is if could could should a little third of the screen what levers your pulling to do what so is sofa operators can be fully RUclips certified. I wouldn’t have a clue how you would do it mind.
When you scoop up a bucket of material with the loader I would shift the bucket dump handle forward and back just a tad over the pile so your not spreading material all over the place as your loading into the truck ! 🤔👍👍👍
@@texancowboy9988 Damn you sound like a Mrs. Know it all ! Chris has been operating equipment for a very long time so stop your crying already Nobody said he was doing things wrong ! Go back to milking your bulls ! 🤔
Could you grab one or two 12v radiator cooling fans for small car or whatever and rig them up in front of the radiator for temporary use? If there's a way to mount them quick n easy then you would have them for similar uses after the fan belt comes in. Probably too late now anyway, just a thought.
I understand if you may not always want to talk or explain things, but I really appreciate when you do explain and share your knowledge. I know there is a lot of planning and calculating on these jobs and I always appreciate hearing the facts, calculations and planned or unplanned thinking process.
Your skill of spreading crushed stone is a art form and you take a plank canvas make it look great.

That crushed concrete makes a great base like ABC stone for the money but boy is it dusty for a while lol.
We getting to see the whole operation here!! Always enjoy the grader shots!! Road coming together nicely!!

Fantastic work Chris!
Looking really good, Chris! Thumbs up! Jim
The work you do is great love watching you work ,you make it look easy
Another stellar job. Love seeing the motor grader. Thanks Chris.

Been watching last 3 nights from the uk 🇬🇧 your 💯 per cent all round operator + truck 🚚 driver
Nice Job !!😁

Road turn off good, great truck driving job
THANKS!
The grader is back-so satisfying!
tell all your friends to subscribe people, he needs to get to 700,000 subscribers!!! Great work as always Christopher!!!
The skill and care taken in building this road brings to the fore experience and dedication to excellence LetsDig18. Fantastic work.
Dang it Man” that’s beautiful!
Fuel up the loader & the truck, give the truck a wash and carry on. That fuel trailer sure helps keep everything running.
Sure looks nice. 😊😊😊😊😊
CHRIS ALWAYS MAKES IT PRITTY!!!😂🎉😅😮
My favourite videos are of you building roads .
Amazing...
That Komatsu dozer sure appears to be a reliable workhorse.
I always love to see that choice of equipment that is used in the USA, i never realized what a small dozer or a skidsteer can do in the the right hands, what really surprised me, is that there are no wheeled diggers arround or used for smaller jobs like that, are the not allowed to travel on public roads over there?
Great Vid 👍👍👍👍👍👍
That’s some nice crushed concrete it has a lot of powder in it!…once the grader started rolling it off the blade…the next thing I remember…it was Tuesday morning!
Good that you have a lot of crush dirt to use not to much left
Nice road Chris
I like to see the use of recycled materials in this way so it doesn't get put into a landfill somewhere. Good job.
That crusher run, as it would be known here, were it virgin material, runs $600 Cdn. For a 21 ton tri-axle load. And it disappears into thin air when you spread it, so it seems.
LOL, the luxury of having a lot of equipment. I've never seen so many pieces of equipment used to put in a simple farm road. 😂
That's actually the main road in to the house from what I remember from last summer when he stopped the road where he did. They hadn't quite decided where the house was to go at that point.
when it's wet on our jobsites we call it pumping the soil when the action of driving a wheeled or tracked vehicle turns the lower dry soil into mush your pumping the water into the soil :)
That Deere that Your loading the concrete with is a beast!
I ENJOYED WATCHING THE VIDEO CHRIS 😊
🔥🔥🔥 HERE FOR THE PARTY!!!
Chris you steal Cowboy Car Crushing front loader 😊
Chris now you and I know that the D7 would have been a much happier choice for that job 😄 when your driving the D7 I almost think I can hear you smiling 😁😁
. . but out in the open air in those temperatures . . nah! 🙂
Looks like you got that loader down good
Will there be a finish coat of gravel on top that crushed concrete? Cause it makes a great road base but its incredibly dusty when its dry, unlike using asphalt millings makes a great solid road and no dust
Nice shop bit doors seem small compared to the 40-50 doors guys put in here in eastern Nebraska.
The road builds are some of my favorites.
But when can we see the most recent dam build and how it’s filling up
It's gonna take a long time
Forgot to comment earlier. Have a good one Chris! Your crushing it!😂😂😂
Chris, we need a tour of the building/shop
good stuff

The motor grader does a great job.
Good morning Chris my friend ❤😂🎉😊
The crushed concrete you're using looks like it exceeds the CBR index of 10!
It should pack and harden to a very tight bond once rolled!
I think mr. Cris needs his own dump truck and 544 theses 2 machines seem pretty handy

There is going to be so many roads on that farm . He is going to need to put up street signs .
Yeah few stop signs an street names ha ha

Chris, what’s also great about the jobs you do is that the customers get a step by step record of everything involved. It must give them piece of mind. You’ll never be out of work. Thanks for taking us along. 🇬🇧👍👍👍
I was thinking just that same thing yesterday! It's not everyone who can go back in five years to see just how something was done. 🙂
I bloody fucking love the under grader shots. They are my favourite. The only thing that could make them better is if could could should a little third of the screen what levers your pulling to do what so is sofa operators can be fully RUclips certified. I wouldn’t have a clue how you would do it mind.
The trouble is when you see him playing the levers you're not sure what they are changing down below.
@@sharonmiller6436 indeed that’s why be handy to have both on the screen at the same time.
Chris might have a future as a truck driver.
I think he has found a good customer. A guy that owned all the equipment but hires him to build his stuff because he wants it done right
When you scoop up a bucket of material with the loader I would shift the bucket dump handle forward and back just a tad over the pile so your not spreading material all over the place as your loading into the truck ! 🤔👍👍👍
That’s OK. He’s just learning.
There is always a Fumb Duck who knows everything about anything. Chris, you are doing this all wrong, this man will save your life if you will listen.
@@texancowboy9988 Damn you sound like a Mrs. Know it all ! Chris has been operating equipment for a very long time so stop your crying already Nobody said he was doing things wrong ! Go back to milking your bulls ! 🤔
I figure that he's just adding a bit of concrete to level up the surface where that soft spot was yesterday. 🙂
Practising reverse dumping with someone else's vehicle, family or no, PURE CLASS :)
Good
🔥🔥
👍👍👍
What you can call him, with all due respect, is a dying breed.
Oh yea, another thing you can call him, An Artiest. The earth is his canvas.
You know you got it, if Mr DP gives you a thumbs up to be able to spread it to his liking.
👍
Could you grab one or two 12v radiator cooling fans for small car or whatever and rig them up in front of the radiator for temporary use? If there's a way to mount them quick n easy then you would have them for similar uses after the fan belt comes in. Probably too late now anyway, just a thought.
Hard for it to cool when the same belt turns the water pump
@@letsdig18 That WOULD make quite a difference! 🙂
You are a well rounded operator, you can spread with a truck as good as you run machines. 👍👍👍
Chris, can you tell me what the small wheels on your truck are for ?? I have never seen them here ib Australia but seen lots of them in USA.
When the truck is loaded they drop down to spread the weight out. Total weight allowed is based on number of axles length
Thank you James, I thought it may have something to do with weight. @@jamesmurney1374
Minefield of attachments haha
About as perfect a spread of gravel as one can get. Not surprised one bit, tho.
Is there a release in the cab that unlocks the tailgate when dumping? Just wondering how that works.
Yes it a air switch to unlock gate
Yes
Hey chris do you have alot of work lined up for 2024 and any more big jobs
Man I'm such a sucker for a good grader video, there's just something about watching soil roll off a blade, IDK
