There are machine operators then you have letsdig18 and Chris it absolutely fascinates me to see how you can chop and change from one machine to another but to watch you on the komatsu dozer is mesmerising and how the hell you build a roadway, unfortunately on a flat screen you have difficulty seeing the gradient your putting into the road but they all turn out great, even the city dam rebuild had me captivating how you went from hardly anything of a dam to another fantastic job where you think of how tidy it looks the spill way and to is it good enough so they can mow the gress and keep the area neat and tidy and as you would like go see it, thank's Chris this is another fantastic video.
I'm glad to see that you make the effort to skim off all those roots, logs, branches etc... buired in the soil to put to put down a good base even though it means hauling more base material. Shows a pride in your work that unfortunately not a lot of contractors would care about these days. Mostly you see people getting by, by doing the least work for the most money they rob you for shoddy work. Keep up the great work ethic.
Your a very skilled operator who uses their time wisely. Makes me want to go get on some machinery and move some dirt. Some may think this is boring to watch, but if you pay attention you can pick up on things. 🚜
Hi from the UK. Really impressed how well you finished off that city pond job yesterday. Pity everyone doesn't go out of their way to do a good job like you.
I would love to see a project so large Letsdig18, Elite Earthworks, Dirtperfect and Logger wade are all working on the same job. Even possibly a few more. That would be great. Have DOTbear driving the Volve haul truck. Just watch mirrors around Kleenman. Lol God bless
Having all that clay available on most of your jobs is a real benefit. It allows you to build a stable and strong base without using too much crushed rock.
Was admiring how you dumped the loads of clay spaced out so you wouldn't have to do tons of extra dozing when spreading out. Perfect example of that saying "work smarter, not harder". Well done.
There are, just tough to afford all the equipment needed when people don’t want to pay a decent rate to do it. Although around here, there are a ton of excavation construction companies already in a small market.
@@mrs.eliteearthworks Brandon: "That's sure a purdy dozer you got there, BOY!" Chris: "It's Not the size of the Dozer, it's how you use it." Mrs. Elite: HAHA! "That's what she said!" 😂😂😂
Road is almost done. The clay sure packs well for the private road. No heavy trucks will travel often to cause swells or ruts the the main driveway. Such a long driveway will be a challenge when there is a heavy snow. I can believe the owner with deep pockets must be prepared for such an occurrence. It is a great visual experience to see how well you do your jobs.
Very impressed with your skills snd commitment to doing things right. Well maintained equipment keeps down time to a minimum.👍 Been watching your channel for a couple of months now, find myself looking forward to each new video. All the best from Scotland 🏴
Hit the zerks with some contrasting spray paint so the help can easily spot the grease points. If any are hard to spot, mark a visible area so they know to look 'around there'.
Smart way to mark things. My equipment is well marked by the shields. The hardest zerk to get to is on my Dodge truck; I use a needle to lube the front driveshaft. What a PITA to do since it is very difficult to find.
I'm not a get rich kind of guy so there's no doubt in my mind that I would've enjoyed working with Chris for years of my early 20's! Instead I spent it working in a gypsum open pit mi b e running a 988G in boredom. Keep up the good videos 📹 👌 👍 👏
Your skill in operating different equipment to a high level is impressive. It's hard enough to be able to operate one machine, let alone the amount you can operate, mini excavator, large excavator, dozer, roller, front loader and JCB type back hoes. And the speed at which you do it, is breath taking.
You forgot road grader. My ex-hubby used to run one for the highway dept, he had 20 yrs experience when i met him. Chris is way younger but far better than hubby was!
I like the 220 but the 250 is a beast, I love watching you on the 250 clearing house lots! Even if it’s small stuff, you operate your machines like a surgeon! Even under cutting this road, the 250 works so smoothly with you brother!
An important part of getting a seamless finish in the final surface is having clearly defined margins between each part of the process - this is clearly evidenced in the first few minutes of the video - well done all.
Do you do enter those contests where a guy places a beer bottle on to of the other and them places a golf ball on top of the beer bottle? Bet you would win that one!! How about making the machine walk on the side of a "made side of a building" You are really good at what you do!!
Your a born operator Chris, nice to watch a guy that knows how's how to run his equipment. Alot of people jerk the controls and it's like come on man. Lol😂👍🥇🇺🇲
Ok...I’ve watched you for a while now, and I see your a really good operator. But when you used the thumb and bucket to pick up that road fabric, you just went to the the master level!!!! Wow sir! I bet you could pick out fishing worms and put them into a jar! 😁
One hand on the wheel and the other on your phone , so that's what they call it these days. I remember when it was called co,,, um never mind. Your holidaying guest seams to be good at most thing including lubing up, a good bloke to have around I would say. Stay safe up there y'all.
Hey Chris, another sweet vid! Is it just me, or is it time to give a squirt or two of grease in your track tensioners? Seems to be a bit of droop in them. Or are they where you like them to be? I'm more familiar with tires on equipment, not as much seat time on tracks.
Here I thought at the end of the video you were going to say Brandon and you were going to lunch. A lot of progress in the video. Love the bulldozer roof view.
Really shows it isn't just pushing the dirt around but knowing just how much to push and where to push it does make the difference. Very few wasted moments. Splitting up the work with Brandon sure changes the perspectives on who is doing what. For the dump drivers, they should have an outlet to charge their phones.
Man, I hope you've got a good suspension seat on that dozer. Everytime I see you backing up, the vibrations must be a spine destroyer ! Mine, 68 y.o. hurts for you ! 😰 PS The shot you did on Brandon, operating the excavator, gave us a good look of the 260 size. Man, that machine is huge !! The bucket too, Impressive !
So I been watching your videos on this site and I only have one question. Did the guys who logged it actually harvest or just knock it down and leave it. I think if I ever have land cleared I would like the guys who use the chipper semi trailer to do it they don't leave much behind other then the stumps
Really enjoy watching your videos - the 'dozer work near the end of this one was excellent - good work ! You'd do a great job making new railway formations with your high standards. All the best to you and Brandon. From me in Dorset county.
The technique he shows must have come from a lot of hard work learning to excel. I've learned a lot just my watching. I have a subcompact tractor with a front end loader. I'm finding out taking big scoops won't work but to take smaller scoops and I can collect more in the long run without breaking my equipment.
Not the first time. He does it in most of his videos. Sometimes a bit more subtle; but, watch how he lays out the path of travel through the whole progression. The young man is exceptional!
Chris It's not the direction you turn the steering wheel. That is different. It is how fast you change direction. When you turn the steering wheel of a car. You have a little time before the vehicle actually starts changing direction. This is worse the larger the vehicle. Semi's on the other hand you will often need to steer the opposite direction. Articulation reacts immediately. Witch you don't expect from a large truck. You are used to the Peterbuilt witch you have to turn 15 to 20 before you actually notice it turning. Where as the Volvo turns immediately. God bless
Did I see a scuff mark on the counter weight on the Volvo ,if so just blame it on Brandon.you are working that man when he goes back home he won’t know what to do,with all new stuff he’s learned from you.lol great video 😎😎😎👍👍👍
So Chris, are you going to put up mile markers on the driveway when you are all done? 🤔 It seems to be a couple miles long😳😏 Well you're going to have to watch out, Brandon is starting to get the hang on all the toys 👍 Good thing you keep getting video of Brandon working, that will keep Mrs Elite confident he's behaving himself 😏😁😂 Good job 👍👍
You can tell Brandon is your love and running at 250 and the off-road truck hell Chris you need to talk him into coming to work for you and John, lol. I don’t think Brandon‘s wife would like that though but anyway brother you and John and Brandon and yawls family y’all stay safe and another great video and keep them coming brother
With all that red clay down there do the do any thing special for a septic tank system Up here in the Hoosier state they have to hunt to find that for a brick plant. They buy brick dust for baseball fields.
I so can’t get over your guys material down there, up here in B.C Canada we would have to run a lot of material threw a crusher to get that nice of stuff.
Brandon's wish list is getting longer with every day. After a 220 excavator now a big dump truck is added as well. This will be an expensive Christmas for Mrs Elite Earthwork😂
If I was going to build a house I would build it way off the beaten path like this guy did. I live way out in the country now but I can still see a few neighbors houses. The closest is around 1/4 mile away. I’d much rather live out in the sticks than to live just feet apart from my neighbors.
Im by no means a heavy machinery operator but i never even thought aboout what you said about dump truck. You must turn steering wheel clockwise to go left backwards
