Don't care what others say - I love work and can watch others like you all day long. Y'all do a fantastic job spreading that mud...How about a fly-by and catch a glimpse of the pond & see how it turned out after these past few weeks.
Yep, got rid of all the humpty-doodles and as smooth as it was meant to be. Great job, Chris......you always come through. Never imagined when the rows and rows of mud being hauled from the pond(s) would result in the finished field. Your client must be over-the-moon happy! 👍
Wife, “ Did you really just spend nearly a half an hour watching a guy move dirt with a bulldozer?” My reply “Yes, and I loved every minute of it.” Wife, “That’s just weird.” My reply, “perhaps, but I’ll bet it was more relaxing than thumbing through Facebook.” Wife, touché.
Another great video Chris well all you got left to do now to get over to the big pond and finish grading it out. And taking out that road and fill up them gully than you are to be done with that job all right brother you and John stay safe and keep the videos coming man
Bam !! Bam !! And that's your Grading Lesson for the Day....Man , Your Good with that finish Dozer, that's for sure !! Very Nice Chris...Have a Great Evening and Weekend !! On too the Next....
I love it when a plan comes together. You had those dump truck loads spaced just right and a minimum amount of dozer work to flatten it all off. Now get Farmer Brown in there with a big disc harrow and that will be ready to plant whatever Nice job Chris
It can be a crapshoot on how well things will grow in that dirt. A local contractor drained a marsh to get black dirt for a new subdivision. They had to replace it the following year because it was full of herbicides that had run off the fields and nothing would grow in it.
I need two lifetimes ... one to devote to administrative live, family, empire building ... and one to working with heavy equipment. It is so gratifying and enjoyable ... especially with today's equipment. My Grandfather would have looked at today's equipment with amazement. Same names, but A/C / music / heat / GPS electronics for pad leveling. What a difference a lifetime makes.
I'll wager that dirt grows some awesome grass next year. Can't beat pond mud for nutrient (NPK) content. Going by the drone footage, I'm thinking they ought to ask for you to grade out the surrounding rough ground too, to blend it all in.
Great video and good job. Keep it up Chris and thanks for all u do and if u dint know it u help people just by talking about how and what ur doing. I have learned alot on how to do stuff better by watching u.
RU-vid is a funny thing at times, The suggested videos are currently ones of you using your new dozer 12 YEARS AGO! Daft thing is I can remember watching those videos when you first uploaded them. Shes still going strong for a 12YO machine.
Dang you’re good Chris! We could only hope all earthmoving engineers would be as efficient, knowledgeable and considerate as you. Your worth is in the product and your products are excellent👍 Nice job as always!
Looks good, lot of dirt to move with a small dozer. When you get your 4 in 1 bucket would you maybe go over why you guys prefer them? Was contemplating getting one to avoid switching from bucket to grapple all the time
I think that's what I like about videos like this and others like Drain Addict or whoever.. its professionals doing what they do for a living, and doing it well. It's nice to be along for the ride on a job that I wouldn't normally find myself in. A very nice experience.
Hi Chris, another great post . Just Thanks for sharing what you do with us . And I truly appreciate your explanation of what and why your doing it . I find it quite mesmerizing 🍿🍿. And always loved seeing what you pictured in you mind. Stay safe and Happy Buddy 👍💪💪 . 🇨🇦 Craig
I wish I had that machine for a weekend! I have 600' of ditch that needs reshaping from 20 years of rutting it out with a 1200 lb zero turn. I have an old JD 430 diesel lawn tractor with a 3 point box blade I am about to start making a hundred trips up and down with to smooth and reshape it. Actually If I had that machine I would go over the 4 acres my house sits on and smooth all of it! I have places I cant see that knock the wind out of me when I'm not paying attention! lol
Good job, build a pond, take the mud and dump it strategically, let it dry, spread and recycle, repurpose it to the land to be productive. Very creative.
That dozer has worked well for you guys Chris, how many hours is on it now, I know you have had it for awhile now, good running machine, thanks for sharing bud.
Looks like Susie Q's....cake rolls! I'm not gonna say what it looked like when you scraped it out of the pond. Maybe a babies bottom is a good hint. Purplecondicolor!!!😝
Huckleberry Hound grading. Love the voice over and the explanation of load spacing. I am guessing that there would be a lot of nutrients for the field if you are pulling mud from a pond. Things should grow well in that field next season. How is the compaction after grading that way?
Looks like that will be another dandy field for planting... You are a shining example of the distance between amature and professional. Sadly the amature's get paid just the same..
I'm surprised that those dirt piles aren't still mud piles considering all the rain we had recently here in the Carolina's, curtesy of hurricane Sally's remanences. . By backyard was flooded and the inground pool was topped off..
I think the drone shot should have ended with the pond, with flying the road between the dirt and pond! I agree with the idea that field is going to grow very nice! You just gave him a huge amount of fertilizer to it!
tractor & harrows would have taken care of it after the first pass. It's going to suck with the occasional wood and roots plowing this up in the spring. Wife always complaints about me watching someone move dirt, I find it relaxing. Great job!
Well, there you go. A little effort spent doing things with the future in mind saves a lot of effort later. And the grass has already colonised those piles. Really fertile dirt there.
I've spent many a day pulling disk harrows and roller when I was a youngster. (My dad didn't trust us with the plough) I used to sing because the tractor was so loud I couldn't hear how out of tune I was. We thought of an acre as 22 yards X 220 yards, and I am thinking your area looks bigger than that.
