It took my wireless internet having a problem to make me realize how much I enjoy watching your video's. The company came out twice thus far, and let me know I was correct, it has a problem. Took 40 min to watch this 17 min video. I own a small tractor service in North Tx. the last 25 years. You are a delight to watch. You pose all the proper skills I hope my three son's show in their endeavors. And I love your Die Cast collection. Thank you for taking us to work with you each day Chris.
I yousta live in N.C when I was younger but said to myself, "self" that's what I call me. I said self what ever you do don't ever move to N.C. because we don't like the soil there so I've lived in Virginia most of my life. Keep up the great videos I watch everyone of them and can't wait for the next one to be published. Thank you.
Mr Orange Well, for my part, I love it. Helps me relax so much. Kind of hypnotic for free ! And Chris has a nice, relax voice explaining it all. Love his videos. PS As someone else mentioned, an aerial view of your work sites would be awesome.
You are making great progress Chris and Team Rome wasn't built in a day as the saying goes, that is getting higher each day and those cuts you have made is a big area, but still a lot of work to be done still.
The rule of thumb is 1/2 scoop before it breaks. Kinda like bolt torque is 1/2 turn before it breaks. No need for bentonite on that pond project. You made your kill, good video Chris.
Take from one who lives in Maine, thawed any type on soil other than gravel is nasty. Imagine what it is like in the spring when the frost has gone several feet into the ground.
Shoes off, warm, and enjoying life. Why I love mass excavation more than anything. Its relaxing all on it's own. If you are like me... you solve most your problems while you work lol
As I've never driven an excavator before, I've always wonder how you know (or remember) which way is forward or backward after you've rotated around several times. I also thought it was interesting that you always try to keep the edge of the ditch you are digging on the inside of the right track. Have always wondered if excavators might tip over or collapse the dirt they are sitting on top of, while they are digging down.
I take it you don't have any soil inspectors come out and testing for compaction of each lift you put in do you ?? Love your videos Chris, and thank you !
can you do an aerial drone shot but then freeze frame and add in some editing to show lines and where you plan to dig to and slopes.....like like a blueprint of the project and or all projects so we can see scope and size.
Would it do any good to waste that dirt against the inside of the dam or is it to muddy to even work after you dig it out? I thought the walls of the dam weren't as straight up and down as that looks.
just a thought about the mud that you put back in bottom. was just wondering why not just put it on an edge somewhere near the tree line. i'm sure there's reasons but just seemed backwards to put it back in the bottom.
Thanks for the great video mate ,does anyone have an idea what the deepest part of the pond / lake will be yet ,it would just be interesting to know ,hoping it doesn't rain to much before you get what you want done . Cheers from down under.
We have a few times. Dont take much. Foot tall stump or rock if you hit it right while going around a corner. But there made to flip full bearing at back of cab allows them flop right to the ground. Take 2 minutes dig it out and flip it upright with excavator dont hurt nothing. Mine is a little narrower so its road legal to hual 8 foot 6 wide. Moxy. Maby being little narrower more tippy
@@toddreynolds8875 I heard there are two kinds of rock truck drivers. Those who have flipped their truck and those who are going to flip their truck. I think reality TV has actually done some flips on purpose just for the drama.
@@idadho lol. Yha. I would agree. I haven't been in mine at the time. Both times were from two different workers. 1st time i was in excavator 200 feet away and it was lunch time and guy who loaded him was up on front fender door area talking to driver riding out for lunch. And he went over rock on pass side and it flipped on driver side guy jumped clear. But i was like oh shit. Figured it bent it all up when cab was straight up and bed laying on side. But nope them center bearings made to swivel right over. Ten minutes later all good.
Oh yes it does look like a lot and I'm just starting to realize just how big that lake is going to be holyshit how big is the key way going to be or do you have to make one I would it's big
Yes zpoppe but you would need a morbidly obese man that would be willing to buy a gold claim site unseen in Baghdad ,A bearded crazy like a fox Viking Genius ,that can't help but to find gold ,And a petulant man child with the people skills of a petulant man child that's only friend is a D10 dozer , Cheers from down under.
I been watching a guy in ur neck of the woods close to Raleigh he's been trying to cut his soybeans but there's so much water under he's constantly getting stuck
I am guessing you will not get an exact $ figure. Since I don't see an actual # being shared, we can start a guessing game. I am thinking $150,000 for the whole project.
@@rajbeekie7124 Are you taking into account the 5 or more days they worked on this pound 4 months ago and the road they have to raise 2 or more feet ? Your guess seems low but I don't know how much the equipment cost?
Roughly bout $450 an hour for all three pieces with operators. In my neck of the woods. So. You would hope to try and get $3500 a day. Sometimes more somtimes less
I have seen a couple of times where he will turn the radio down when he starts the video, so I am sure that he only has the radio off while the video is running.
Yep,in my next life I want to be a top-o-the-line excavator operator. Problem is timing,it will all be done by robot excavators by then and I'll be obsolete! Probably get stuck mudding drywall or some such a thing!!
Can we ask you that question how much can the truck hold it should see you should be able to say 5 Scoops we can put 15 in there and Stitch truck will still make it across the way doesn't mean it's better for the truck it's laziness on your part you need to have five of those big trucks to go move dirt 5 minutes away I mean
Oh snap! He goes rogue at 10:12 and switches to an unidentified green can. La Croix(doubt it) Big K(maybe) I’ll mildly reward anyone who can definitively the name green can or the mystery styrofoam quart. #cupholdersquad
