I like your channel the best of all the similar channels. One reason is that you don’t have a constant sidekick where 50% of the time is spent bantering back and forth instead of the actual project (sorry other channels, I know I am probably the exception). I know bantering is going to happen when friends get together but…..I just like to watch and hear you describe what you are going to do, what you are doing and why you are doing it. I’m not in the excavation business, I just like watching your projects, even the stuck truck.
Incredible. Some of that mud looks like you could sink to your waist in it. Lordy, Chris, you are the man! Not only did you get the dozer unstuck the other day, now you released an even bigger monster by freeing Barney. All by yourself. That was fun to watch (I'm sure not to experience). Can't wait for the next installment.
Great work Chris. When you alone and working for yourself, you just can't quit. Nobodies going to come in and fix it for you. You figure it out through trial and error. Otherwise known as extreme tenacity. Thanks very much for sharing.
Perfect day for excavator sliding! Need to see some slides! 😉 new blade guard on the D-6 is working well. I do see some yellow paint coming in the future
Always nice to see someone with the determination you displayed in this video. You can give out, but never give up! Way to make the most of a sloppy situation!!! Hopefully you'll get some drier weather soon so you won't have to deal with all that mud!!!
I wonder if Santa would bring me a D6 to play with? The place would never be the same and the neighbors would be nervous.😏😉😂 Thanks for the ride along sir, good vid, mud and all.
You have way more ambition than me. On a muddy day like that I'd be hanging around home making excuses about why I can't work! Thanks for another good video.
Absolutely no mud or rain is gonna keep Chris from clearing any property he's been hired to clear. It looks like this day was one of his most challenging one so far with up hill mud bogging.
Hello Chris, I hope someday you put together an old oil furnace squirrel fan rig together for jobs like this one. It will change your fire from a big camp fire to a blast furnace, doing this makes the fly ash smaller so less chance of secondary fires and will be much faster for burning stumps. Just buy an old furnace squirrel fan (100.00 $) and a 20'X14" culvert pipe and a small 110 volt gas generator to power it. It's important to turn it off when ever you approach the fire pit as it get's very hot!
Hard days make us appreciate the good days. It has raised her for days and has stayed cloudy when it did stop for a day. Cold air is coming at least for north Arkansas. Maybe it will freeze there enough to help. Great video.
You either have lots of luck or lots of practice in reviving a burn pile. Wilma dozer does not disappoint with pushing stump wind rows. Remember, not everyone gets to go mudboggin with a 6 wheel drive haul truck - you are a lucky man!
Driving through the slosh one day, all of a sudden wheels stop grabbing and ya get such a sinking feeling. The veiw from under the truck was pretty cool, you could really see the mud pack.
Working in swamps, muddy conditions sucks and gets aggravating but makes for good video. Sitting in the seat doesn’t get as repetitive either. Gotta change it up and raise the difficulty level up sometimes 😉
Muuudddd is merciless!! It’s like it has a mind of its own. You can only push it so far!! 😂😂. We used to almost bury some of the farm equipment, at harvest when we had limited time to get the crop off while it was good!! You push the limits and mud makes you pay!!! 😮😂. Hope it dries up a bit for ya Chris!
Chris, have you ever considered an air curtain destructor (pit blower)? As many big clearing jobs as you do and then having to wait around for rain to burn slowly, it might be worth your while to rent one and give it a try. I suspect you could burn all that brush and, more importantly the stumps, in a quarter of the time it takes to do it naturally.
Truly appreciate your time and effort to film and work in a difficult area with mud. So impressive on how you are Truly a one man band, to overcome difficult things an push the haul truck around. Thank you and hope you have a great week
45:02 The logging loaders in Scotland have amazing chain sets for wet and soggy ground. Normal chain sets with upright plates going across the Tyre, never seen one stuck, but it is the balance of how much churning up you have to correct later on the site You have amazing skills, and work ethics Chris
Dammit Man !! You was givin' her Hell , for sure !! lolol... But, you did manage to get it all down there to the fire. I think your going to need a little touch up paint on the back of the Off Road Truck after all that mess Chris !! lololol... I'm sure you have seen by now the mess of rain coming next week ?? I believe all of us are going to get rain off this big front moving across the states this coming week !! But, hopefully you will get a couple 2-3 days before it does get here, and are able to get the rest of that done there... hopefully you ended up getting all that burned on up, when you came back... But, Great as always Chris, Have a Great Sunday Evening Man, And, On too the Next...
to get rid of these stumps in wet conditions you need to build an airway into the pit; like that time you dug a trench running out of the burn pit and you had the leaf blower going to start the chimney effect.
Babysitting the Fire ! Mud or no Mud - we will Overcome - Volvo to the Rescue again pushing out Volvo - that was a Brilliant Job - all that Know How You have - Great ! Ah - Yes - Challenges ! Nice HOT Fire ! Great Video and many Cheers from us in Australia ! We love = Lets Play in the Mud again Tomorrow - ha-ha !
Out of all your new to you equipment, the D6, haul truck, betty, and the other track loader, which is your favorite? Which is as game changer for what you do? And which if you could have a brand new one would you pick?
Fantastic 5 🌟 video even though the muddy mess tried to hender yah from what you need to do it didn't prevail love the determination as always God bless yah from Gaffney South Carolina viewer 🙏❤️💯
Howdy Chris I doubt the word s give up is a couple that you use together, I’ve been watching for a while now i really haven’t seen anything that you haven’t overcome with minimal effort you the man 😎🇺🇸
You have the 6 wheel drive on the offroad truck working good now. At least it trying it's best to get going now, not that the wet clay helps it much....
@@kenore4003 I think he was making some 14” or deeper ruts and still going!! Heh heh. Downhill,,,,,,. Yeah mud is a funny thing. The weight helps a bit on traction unless the bottom goes out like it’s starting to here. We had mostly AG tires on our farm equipment but had a couple of articulated loaders for cleaning corrals and loading sileage. They had the industrial tires a bit better than what you get for these haul trucks etc, but they weren’t that great in the mud either. The Case W-14 was ok, but our Caterpillar was just a little too big. Went to “Zoom Booms” or telehandlers, JCB and they were much better in the mud. It’s just a bugger to work in no matter what you do outside!
haul truck will go just about anywhere till its arch nemesis mud is involved. the struggle bus was fully loaded in that mudfest, but Chris wasnt going give up. new tires for the haul truck are outlandishly expensive, how about tire chains like a log skidder Chris?
