Chris is doing a great job! I made a video from our perspective. Took some more drone footage today and will post another this week. Thanks ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-UDDv1c45yVs.html
Good 3 day. The trees to foll exact, and it a bathed in light place. The ca 100 years old Ahorn really a good decor vor a gardener! I hope to continuation from video. Greeting from Vienna
After 25 years in construction, you lack one skill that most of the operators I've worked with possessed... An obscene vocabulary. It's very refreshing.
Hahaha. I think he learned this over time. His very early videos would be more what you were used to. Chris has definitely become much more relaxed and mellow than he was 11+ years ago. All the best for him! He will definitely live longer not letting himself get so stressed all the time! You are definitely right though. The guys I hired over the years to do work on my ranch until I retired made us Ranchers and cowboys seem quite,,,, sophisticated!!! Heh heh. (Maybe not quite, but they surprised many of us,,,,, haha.)
They really are great. I run these machines daily and he makes it look as flawless as can be. No extra movements very fluid and smooth but still quick and precise. I run a Volvo EC210B with almost the same bucket and thumb just two less teeth on the thumb. They are great machines. Love your videos 👍
My Granddad had a huge Cottonwood out back of his house that was hollow rotten but still greening up every year. He decided to fill it with concrete to keep it from falling into the barn. It was probably 6' up the trunk and about 30' inside hollow filled with 20 or 30 bags of sakcrete. It stood another 20 years and the wind brought it over. The old barn went also. Grandad had died 3 weeks prior to that. The family and neighbors gathered for a big Thanksgiving feed and had a HUGE bonfire that fall, barn wreck stacked up around the trunk, burned and smoldered for 4 days. Then they had to haul away the concrete pillar that was left. Thanks for that spark of memory!
Every time a tree goes down, I yell timber. Good thing I'm alone or someone would think I'm nuts! Lol. Can't get over the roots on some of those big trees! Another awesome video!!
I know it would be a little bit of over kill but can you imagine if you had the Volvo 950 that you just had the chance to test. All it would take is a bite in the ground and the tree would be down. That was a good video of DP, Logger Wade and you trying out that machine.
Hey Chris!! Here ya are working in very dry dusty conditions, which I think you thought would never come a couple of months ago, and poor Brandon at Elite Earthworks is STILL working in muck,,,. He was talking about you the other day about the geotextile fabric used on certain projects and how he has started to like using it himself! He has found himself a very demanding project that will keep him busy all spring and into the Summer for sure! It appears that between yourself and your Uncle John, you fellas can definitely benefit from a full time hired man during 2/3rds of the year! Hard to keep around though without an opportunity to advance too much (understandably so there would not be advancement). This one guy, Chad I think it is, seems to be doing alright. You can let him work quite independently already. Looking forward to the summer projects!! Hopefully the pond you started but kept getting the haul truck stuck at is drying out well enough to get done with your Uncle John’s company.
More work at the BG Farm. Glad you knocked out the air filter - it makes the engine happier. Anyone else hear the "Darth Vader exhale" when the thumb is released back? Watch how Chris pushes a pine into other trees so they tear out the top limbs and leave a mostly clean trunk. Hook those tires together with an anchor and put in the pond for 'fish habitat'. You have that Stihl throwing some big chips. Big ol` Oak = lots of split firewood. Hollow trees make raccoon condos.
Thank for leaving that grove of oaks. It will soften the look and atmosphere of the lot. And that hollow log. Id keep it in the woods if it was my property. Its better down for sure, but its cool.
Good 3 day. The trees to foll exact, and it a bathed in light place. The ca 100 years old Ahorn really a good decor vor a gardener! I hope to continuation from video. Greeting from Vienna.
Being in construction for over 12 years. I absolutely love this channel. It reminds me when I was on site for doing grade and all that. I love it . Keep it up brother.
WOOOOO I at least made it into the first 50 comments for once! I love watching these videos, they help to pass the time while I am sitting at my desk and keep me thoroughly entertained. Keep up the awesome work!
Should really start coming together real soon once ya get all the trees loaded out and graded out a little .Looking Great as always Chris !! Have a Great Evening , And On too the Next.....
I could clear trees all day long, but I'm like you in that I'm not particularly fond of running the chainsaw. I do it because that's what needs to be done.
Wait for it, wait for it, Timbeeerrrr; I wouldn't have it any other way. Something would be missing if you didn't say it Thanks for the great videos. John here from the back-roads of Tennessee.
We used to yell "Timber!" for every tree, shrub or bush that was being felled, and even "Timber!" for a mate about to fall off a bicycle or anything else. "But I'm not a tree!" "Yeah, but ya head's full of sawdust!" Kids are so nice to each other.
I bet that after playing with that 950, getting back in the 220 feels like your in the Yanmar....I bet with the 950 you could take down some BIG trees...
Big trees! Interesting to see them relative to yourself and the chain saw with 25 inch bar. Must be hot work . You could find a black bear in there in the North during winter logging. Not fun when occasionally you hit one with the chain saw.
that one log you can make a temporary ditch pipe on a job site .. great video .. keep them coming your videos are doing great over 500k subs ,, great job be nice if you tube would give you a mini .. lol
You really don't get a good perspective of just how big those trees are that you knock down until you're standing there sawing them. That rotted one was unreal!! Wow.
During the freeze in Feb. a large tree down the street from us literally exploded out at the stump and branches fell every which way. The stump is hollow with very little wood on the outer rings, sorta the way that tree looked but twice as large in diameter.
Just found the Launch Pad segment from the Discovery Channel TV show Machines of Glory you and Justin were on years ago Chris, lol. Wanted to see the whole episode, but can't find it anywhere, not even to buy. Did see your team won the competition though during my searching.
I really didn't know how much bigger that EC950F was until now Chris your biggest one looks like the mini if anyone don't know about heavy equipment just watch letsdig18 and you will learn more then just equipment.and just like everything else Chris this one will look so much better and different
Chris I take it your favorite drink is the Gin and Tonic since the Tonic(Quinine) works against malaria so one before dinner would be a wise choice. Bonus nachos, Jack Rudy has a store near you in SC.
yeh those air filters can really get dirty i have cleaned some from over the road drivers that looked like they had a million miles on them in the dirt & they never left the road lol
